203. Retribution brought by two monks (the third more to ask for a monthly pass)
Some people in the hall were inexplicable, and some people had ugly faces.
Those who don't know are confused when they hear this.
Those in the know feel as if a mountain is pressing on their hearts.
King Zhou's expression was calm: "Send an envoy to Chang'an to congratulate the Eastern Tang Dynasty on the change of ownership." ”
The ministers hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Those in the know understood in their hearts that in addition to congratulating Chang'an on occupying the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the envoys had more important things.
That is, Chang'an must be appeased, and for the matter of coaxing the monk to go to Chang'an at the beginning, the Western Zhou must be cleaned.
It is best to reach an alliance with Chang'an again, and together they can unite to the north against Northern Qi, or send troops to the south against Western Chu.
In this way, the Western Zhou can be safe and stable, and even take the opportunity to increase its own strength.
Just as the monarchs and ministers of the Western Zhou Dynasty were discussing the candidates for the envoy, bad news suddenly came from the east.
The Chang'an army, led by the Blood Shadow Old Demon and other masters, brazenly crossed the border Tielun Mountain and invaded the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Not only Tiexi County, which borders Hexi County, was invaded, but also Moyin and Moyang to the north, and Gaotang and Sushun to the south, all of which had traces of Chang'an invasion.
"Your Majesty, the old devil who led the other party's army said...... said...... "The person who reported the report was speechless and difficult to speak."
“...... Speak. King Zhou took a deep breath.
The other party knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "He said, this is the retribution brought by those two monks." ”
King Zhou held his breath, and then slowly exhaled: "Chang'an's desire is difficult to fill, and his ambitions have risen even more after occupying the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and now he is attacking my Great Zhou, he will let him know that this Eastern Xinjiang is not his turn to be lawless!"
The ministers in the palace responded in unison: "Obey the king's decree, and make sure that the Chang'an madmen will not return!"
If before, you could consider secretly compensating Chang'an for appeasement, then now, everything is not important.
The only important thing is that the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty has been invaded, and it must be counterattacked!
The Western Zhou Dynasty originally had heavy troops stationed on the eastern border.
But Chang'an's attack was too strong and too fierce.
The guarding Zhou army was unable to gain a firm foothold, and was almost pushed all the way out of Tiexi and other five counties.
After finally getting support to stabilize his position, Zhou Jun reluctantly found that the five counties of Moyin, Moyang, Tiexi, Gaotang, and Sushun were basically the world of Chang'an.
They tried to recapture it, but they were always repelled by Chang'an.
The high-level powerhouses of the Western Zhou Dynasty began to assemble, and at the same time vigorously contacted the Northern Qi, Western Chu, Southern Liang and other countries, hoping to encircle and suppress Chang'an City, which is now unified in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
The Northern Qi Dynasty, which was continuously beaten by Chang'an, was overjoyed when he heard the news.
Xizhou hit it off with them.
Originally, the two dynasties, which often clashed and fought on the border, immediately became closer.
Zhang Dongyun, who was in the Daming Palace in Chang'an City, seemed to be unaware of the fact that he had offended the two dynasties at once, and he was still calm.
The problem he is thinking about now is actually the workers under his command, which seems to be a little less.
Strictly speaking, quite a few.
It's just that now that the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty has been taken down at once, and the control field has risen on a large scale, it seems that the manpower is a little thinner.
I have to admit that in the process of Chang'an taking the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Tang Dynasty had serious internal friction.
Zhang Dongyun didn't kill too much, and most of them were captured as prisoners.
Prisoners are captive and need to be reformed through labor in batches, so that they can remember the lesson and stop thinking nonsense.
In this way, it will take some time for people to come in handy.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun stood up and moved his body.
Since the quantity is a little less, let's improve the quality.
With so many Xuanyuan Fruits on hand, and a group of martial artists from the seventh and eighth realms, of course they can't be wasted.
Who said that there are few masters in the ninth realm of the Eastern Tang Dynasty?
Soon it was there.
However, the reward needs to be measured, and this aspect needs to be carefully controlled.
Zhang Dongyun was thinking about it when someone went to the Tianshu Hall to meet Mr. Wuyun.
After Mr. Wuyun appeared in Xihai County in the north, he returned to Chang'an.
Now he is meeting each other in the Heavenly Pivot Palace.
If you want to say that any of the elders of the Lingxiao faction is super, he has been in Chang'an for a lot of days now.
Seeing that the Eastern Tang Dynasty was turned upside down, he thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind to come to the Tianshu Palace.
"Sir, I want to leave the city for a few days, go to the Northeast Snow Mountain, and look for the same door. Ren Chao said in a respectful voice.
Mr. Dark Cloud said in an indifferent tone: "And then?"
Ren Chao replied: "I would like to implore Your Majesty and Mr. to allow this sect to rebuild the mountain gate and multiply and develop on the land of the old Tang Dynasty." ”
Mr. Wuyun looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Are they willing to do this?"
Ren Chao felt that his mind was completely seen through by Mr. Dark Cloud.
After taking a few deep breaths, he replied softly: "Everyone has their own aspirations, and I believe that there will be people who think the same way as me." ”
"What's different?" said Mr. Cloud, in a calm tone.
Ren Chao said with some difficulty: "Please...... Your Majesty and Mr. are gracious and allow them to leave the land of the old Tang Dynasty. ”
Mr. Wuyun stared at him for a long time, and then smiled slightly: "As said, everyone has their own aspirations, Your Majesty is tolerant of all rivers, Chang'an is tolerant of all living beings, as long as you abide by the rules of Chang'an, you can stay in the city, but the other way around, it is the same." ”
"The juniors understand, Your Majesty Xie and the seniors Longen. Ren Chao bowed solemnly to Mr. Wuyun, and then said goodbye and left.
In Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun was thoughtful.
The former No. 1 martial arts door in the Eastern Tang Dynasty is now declining, and it is inevitable.
I just don't know, will there be a genius in the future, lead the disciples, and rise again?
Or will the Lingxiao faction completely decline and eventually disappear into the long river of history?
The latter is probably even more likely.
Under the rule of Chang'an, the land of the Tang Dynasty was completely reshuffled this time.
If someone takes advantage of the situation to rise, someone must fall because of it.
At the same time, the forces that submit to Chang'an will develop differently in the future.
Xuanyi, Forget the Truth, Dahe Longmen, Tingshan Academy and other forces have seized the opportunity.
And places like the He family, Jingyue Tower, Zhao family, Zheng family and other places, if you want to catch up, you must work harder and harder.
However, in Dongtang, they are also one step ahead of people in other places in the future.
Zhang Dongyun was thinking wildly, and someone came to the Tianshu Hall to ask to see Mr. Wuyun.
This time it was the elder of the Great River Dragon Gate, Han Zhe.
With the help of Hanhai Mental Method, Han Zhe came to retreat and practiced these days, and successfully broke through the original realm and reached the eighth realm of martial arts, the realm of ghosts.
It's just that at the moment, he has just broken through, and the condensed evil qi is still a little thin.
"There is progress, good. Mr. Dark Cloud was not sparing in compliments.
"It's for Your Majesty and Mr. to mention. Han Zheyan said.
"For those who have made meritorious deeds, His Majesty and the old man have never hesitated to reward them. Mr. Dark Cloud said.
After Han Zhe thanked him again, he said: "Sir, right now, the land of the Tang Dynasty is in the hands of Chang'an, and I want to invite Mr. to go out for a while." ”
Zhang Dongyun already knew the other party's purpose, but Mr. Wuyun, who he projected, did not speak, only looked at the other party quietly.
"Senior brother in charge of this faction, he has been lost for several months, and he has not heard back, so he wants to look for him. Han Zhe said in a deep voice.
"Yourself, or the owner of the Great River Dragon Gate?" asked Mr. Wuyun.
Han Zhe replied: "There are too few clues about the whereabouts of the senior brother in charge, so I only plan to try my luck first." ”
Mr. Wuyun bowed slightly: "Ready to go to Northern Qi?"
Han Zhe replied: "Initially, this is the plan, but Senior Brother Li has been missing for a long time, and I am not sure if he is still in Northern Qi, so I have to go there first to have a look, and then decide whether I need other places." ”
"Your Majesty is magnanimous, the old man has always emulated it, today's things are human nature, and the old man will not stop him. ”
Mr. Wuyun said: "Pay attention to yourself, don't Li Jie not find it, but lose yourself." ”
"Mr. Xie, keep your teachings in mind. Han Zhe was overjoyed and bowed to Mr. Wuyun before retiring.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun watched the other party pack up and go out of the city on the road.
He was actually a little curious in his heart.
Li Jie, the master of the Great River Dragon Gate, is already a martial arts master in the Ninth Realm.
Although he was injured by King Tang, since he finally escaped, there were few people on the ground in Northern Qi who could help him.
The person who can make him evaporate directly from the world, and his whereabouts are unknown, are none other than a few ninth masters of Northern Qi.
And these people don't necessarily have to take Li Jie's life.
So where is Li Jie now?
Why is there no news at all?
I hope Han Zhe can find him this time, I'm still curious where this guy went...... Zhang Dongyun smacked his lips.
He reopens the system task list.
Now with the Defend Mission, it's much easier than ever to accumulate Guardian Experience's upgrade points.
But the number of points in the construction task still has to be taken slowly little by little.
Construction task 7.1 - The scope of Chang'an is expanding day by day, and the ordinary means of communication in the past have become backward, so the city lord is requested to establish a more developed communication network to facilitate the flow of information inside and outside the city
Zhang Dongyun shook his head slightly.
The difficulty of this matter is still quite high.
Although as long as he wants, he can take out all kinds of communication methods such as video calls within the Invincible City, but in the final analysis, it is he, the city lord, who helps the people in the city cheat.
First, this can't meet the communication connections inside and outside the city, and secondly, the city lord Zhang doesn't have the leisure to serve people.
This world is much bigger than his previous life, Blue Star.
Naturally, transportation and communication are much more difficult.
As a fantasy world, the natives have developed a lot of fantasy methods to use for communication, but at present, the foundation of the land of the Tang Dynasty is still poor.
While Zhang Dongyun was thinking, there was something more in his hand.
An azure orb.
The royal family of the Eastern Tang Dynasty has a treasure, which is a pair of blue eyes.
One of them was previously handed over to his fourth brother Li Tang by the prince Li Hong, intending to spy on the truth of Chang'an, but it fell into the hands of Chang'an.
Later, after Shen Herong improved the blue sky eye, he often carried it with him to facilitate Zhang Dongyun's observation.
The other one paired with it is in the hands of Tang King Li Xuanxin himself.
As Li Xuanxin was killed by Zhang Dongyun in Liuquan Mountain, all his belongings were also in Zhang Dongyun's hands.
City Lord Zhang looked at such a blue sky.
It's good, but it's not going to help him with his mission alone.
But what if it was a makeover?
