There are a total of 36 states in the land of Datang Shenzhou, and a Pujiang River and a Luo River run through the water system of the entire 36 states. The source of the Luohe River water system comes from the Yaochi Tianshui on the edge of the Kunlun Tianshan Mountain, and the Kunlun Tianshan Mountain and the Yaochi Tianshui are both located in the Four Wilderness Countries, and the capital of the Four Wilderness Countries is Dunhuang City. On the tenth day of the birth month, Shen Ji Miao took the baby boy Li Taibai to the Four Wilderness Country, and settled in the Thousand Buddha Caves on the edge of Xizhao City.

There are two seas in the land of Datang Shenzhou, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and there are nine immortal mountains on the East China Sea, which are Penglai, Yingzhou, Qiyun, Fanjing, Yunmeng, Yunding, Putuo, Yangming, and Xueyu.

There are 16 islands in the South China Sea, namely, Crescent, Coral, Ryukyu, Diaoyu, Zhoushan, Penghu, Miyako, Wang'an, Huayang, Jiulong, Nansha, Fiery Cross, Taiping, Jinran, Huangyan, and Lindao. Among the sixteen islands, Crescent Island and Coral Island are the largest, large enough to build a castle on them, and Rindo Island is the smallest, so small that only a small piece of black rock sticks out of the sea.

There are eight islands in the South China Sea near the east, which are called the East China Sea Island Country. In the middle of the South China Sea there are eight islands, which are called South China Sea island countries. The eight islands of the East China Sea are: Coral, Ryukyu, Diaoyu, Zhoushan, Penghu, Miyako, Wang'an, and Huayang. The eight islands of the South China Sea are: Crescent, Kowloon, Nansha, Fiery Cross, Taiping, Cam Ranh, Huangyan and Lindao.

There is a very large island in the South China Sea island country called Crescent Island, and there is a city on Crescent Island called Shangdu City. The island country of the South China Sea governs the eight islands in the middle of the South China Sea in the land of Shenzhou, and the capital city is the capital of the island country in the South China Sea, and the lord of the capital city is Nangong Chenyu.

There is also a large island in the East China Sea island country called Coral Island, and there is a castle on Coral Island called Shangjing City. The island country of the East China Sea governs the eight islands to the east of the South China Sea in the land of Shenzhou, and Shangjing is the capital of the island country in the East China Sea. The city lord of Shangjing was originally Dongfang Yuandao, who had only been appointed and dismissed for a short time, and later Dongfang Yuandao was promoted to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty because of the love of Tang Emperor Li Yu.

At this time, it was the eventful autumn of the Tang Dynasty, after the uprising of Huang Chaoge Wuyue, Wang Jianzhi, the lord of the northern country, wanted to take advantage of this God-given opportunity to avenge the blood of his great-grandfather An Lushan, so he did his best to defend the border of the Great Wall in the north of Tingzhou 500,000 Tingce troops went south, and later Wang Jianzhi fell into Huang Chaoge's scheme, most of the 500,000 Tingce troops died in the northwest of Chang'an City in the King's Landing Mountains, and he himself was cut in half by Huang Chaoge's glaive and died in a different place. After that, the northern border of the Tang Dynasty was empty.

In the second year, when the rebellion of Fengyue Huang Chaoge had just been put down, the tribes of the steppe north of the Great Wall in the north gradually united into a single kingdom of Mengdan. Yelu Deguang, the khan of the Mengdan Kingdom, saw that it was Muyue at this time, and the war horses of the grassland were spring danger, summer strong, autumn fat, and winter thin, and Muyue was in summer, and it was when the grassland war horses were strong, and the Great Wall in the north of the Tang Dynasty was also defeated.

So in the early part of the second year, Yelu Deguang, the khan of the Mengdan Kingdom, led 200,000 iron feather horsemen of various tribes of the steppe to the foot of the Great Wall in the north. Iron Feather Cavalry, a pair of arms made of feathers on the back of the steppe cavalry, can increase the speed of the horse's running, as well as increase the lethality of the battle.

Just as Yelu Deguang expected, the tens of thousands of remnants of the Thunderce army guarding the Great Wall in the north were defeated and defeated in the first battle. Then, Yelude easily crossed the Great Wall in the north and directly occupied the three northwestern states of Yongzhou, Tingzhou, and Xiongzhou. Zhu Yitian's mother Wang Rong, cousin-in-law Liu, cousin and nephew Wang Kangping, and Yun Huixian's parents in Yunyan Village in the northern border all fled to the mansion of the young marshal of Zhenguo in Chang'an City.

Since Tang Emperor Li Yu returned to Chang'an from Nanyue, all the goods accumulated by Nanyue for decades were brought back to Chang'an City by Li Yu, so the city lord of Haizhou City in Nanyue lost the support of wealth accumulated for decades, and was unable to recruit soldiers to protect Nanyue.

In the middle of Muyue, Liu Huaiyin and Liu Zhiyuan brothers found out that there were not many soldiers in Haizhou City, one of the six states in the East China Sea, so they led 300,000 Yizhou Yiwu troops to go straight to Haizhou City in Nanyue, and it took only one day to lay down the empty Haizhou City, and a few days later they controlled the entire territory of Nanyue, Liu Huaiyin and Liu Zhiyuan brothers proclaimed themselves King of Han in Nanyue.

In the middle of Muyue, the Tang Dynasty was facing a situation of internal and external troubles, and hundreds of civil and military officials were arguing and chattering in the Taihe Palace. Dongfang Yuandao proposed that the outside must first be settled, first cut the land to seek peace, and seek peace in summer and autumn from the Mengdan Kingdom, after all, the iron feather riding war horses of the Mengdan Kingdom in the summer and autumn are fierce; After quelling the rebellion of the Southern Yiwu Army in the summer and autumn, and then gathering all the superior forces of the Tang Dynasty to counterattack the Iron Feather Cavalry of the Mengdan Kingdom in winter, the war horses in the north were emaciated in winter, and the combat power was greatly damaged, and they were sure to win in one battle. Now that the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are controlled by Shi Jingfeng, and Shi Jingfeng does not obey the orders of the imperial court, it is better to cede the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to Yelu Deguang, the Khan of the Mengdan Kingdom, and use Yelu Deguang's 200,000 iron feather cavalry to weaken Shi Jingfeng's military strength.

Tang Emperor Li Yu was so anxious to talk to the ants on the hot pot these days, so he tried his best to agree to the strategy of the Oriental Far Away. Ignoring the advice of a group of courtiers, he insisted on ordering someone to cut off the territory of the sixteen states of Youyun on the territory of the thirty-six states of Shenzhou, and he also personally stamped the seal of the jade seal of the country on the territory of the sixteen states of Youyun, and wrote a letter asking for peace to Yelu Deguang.

After Yelu Deguang, the khan of the Mengdan Kingdom, got the territory of the sixteen states of Youyun that covered the jade seal, he wrote back to Tang Emperor Li Yu to agree to sue for peace. Then, Yelu Deguang came to Youzhou City with the territory of the sixteen states of Youyun, Shi Jingfeng, who was already the king of Youyun, did something that everyone expected, directly opened the city and surrendered, and knelt at the feet of Yelu Deguang, who was more than ten years younger than himself, and called Yelu Deguang his father-in-law. Tang Emperor Li Yu originally wanted to use Yelu Deguang's 200,000 iron feather cavalry to weaken Shi Jingfeng's military strength, but he never expected that people's hearts were selfish. From the perspective of maximizing his own interests, Shi Jingfeng preserved his military strength, trapped the people of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun in fire and water, and wantonly let the people of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun be trampled and ravaged by the 200,000 iron feather horsemen of the northern grassland peoples.

Since Yelu Deguang led 200,000 Tie Yu to ride to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, he has enjoyed the comfortable hospitality of Shi Jingfeng, his godson, in Youzhou. The original three northwestern states were also not taken care of, and Tang Emperor Li Yu took the opportunity to pick up the leak, and immediately ordered Wang Jianzhi's son Wang Kangping and Wang Jianzhi's wife Liu to return to Tingzhou Mansion to govern the northern country.

A few days later, he ordered Zhu Yitian, the young marshal of Zhenguo, to select some civil and military generals in the imperial court to go to Tingzhou to rebuild the Tingce army to protect the Great Wall in the north.

After the next day, Zhu Yiwu and Yun Huixian led more than 30 young officials of the Tang Dynasty and more than 60 personal soldiers to march to the northern border. After arriving in Tingzhou, he temporarily lived in Tingzhou Mansion, and his cousin-in-law Liu Shiren greeted Zhu Yiwu and Yun Huixian and their party at the beginning, and was very concerned about supporting them to rebuild the Great Wall of Tingce's army.

In the last few days of the second month of the Mu month, Yun Huixian vaguely felt that the Liu clan had suddenly changed his attitude towards the rebuilding of the Tingce Army, and became lax and indifferent, and from time to time he said some cold words to some guards in the Tingzhou Mansion. Yun Huixian estimated that there must be a reason for this, so he said to Zhu Yiwu at night: "Haven't you noticed that your cousin-in-law's attitude towards the rebuilding of the Thunder Ce Army has become indifferent recently? It was said that it must have been the envoys sent by the Mengdan Kingdom to come here that made the Liu clan hesitate, and I don't know if they will continue to support us. ”

Zhu Yitian, who was busy with the affairs of the army for a day, was lying on the bed and was about to sleep, when he heard Yun Huixian's words, he had no intention of sleeping for a while, thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't be, the Tingce Army is the hard work of my cousin Wang Jianzhi's life, and I was defeated in the Huangchao singers before, and now we are here to rebuild this army, isn't it to continue my cousin's legacy, and my cousin-in-law should not collude with the Mengdan envoy." ”

Yun Huixian said: "Now that the Iron Feather Cavalry of the Mengdan Kingdom is strong, my cousin-in-law must have been frightened by the invasion of the Northern Territory by the Iron Feather Army before, and now she will do such a foolish thing, you are a sober person, you should be able to foresee what has not happened in advance, not to mention that all kinds of signs are now clear!" ”

So, the next day, Zhu Yitian called a few guards around his cousin-in-law Liu, and asked them unexpectedly: "I know that the envoys of the Mengdan Kingdom have been here for several days, where do they live now?" The guards felt unexpected, and it was difficult to answer in a hurry, and several guards did not discuss the unified response words in advance, and they actually said their own words for a while, full of loopholes, and finally under the majesty of Zhu Yitian pulling out the spirit sword, they had to tell the truth about the situation.

Zhu Yitian secretly detained the guards to prevent leakage of news. Then, he immediately gathered more than 100 subordinates from Chang'an City, drank and sang. When he was drunk, Zhu Yitian deliberately provoked everyone and said: "You and I are all in the northern border country of the borderland, and we all want to make contributions by establishing the Thunder Ce Army. But now that the envoy of the Mengdan Kingdom has only been here for a few days, the Liu family has become tired of establishing the Ting Ce Army. If the Liu clan informs the envoys of the Mengdan Kingdom of all the details of the military affairs of our Ting Ce Army, won't we all become food for the mouths of jackals? What do you think of this? ”

Everyone said in unison: "We are now in a dangerous situation, whether we live or die, it is up to you, the general, to decide." ”

Zhu Yitian said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." The only way now is to pretend to be the guards of the Tingzhou Mansion, kill the envoys of the Mengdan Kingdom at night, and destroy all their corpses. After destroying them, he publicized them to the outside world as a guard of the Tingzhou Mansion, so that Yelu Deguang, the khan of the Mengdan Kingdom, would believe that this was done by the Liu family, so that the Liu family could support us with all their hearts to establish the Ting Ce Army. ”

Someone said: "This matter should be discussed with Wang Kangping, the city lord of Tingzhou City." Zhu Yitian was furious and said: "Whether the establishment of the Thunder Army is a success or failure depends on this matter. Wang Kangping is a person who obeys his mother's orders, and when he hears this, he will definitely tell Liu, and we can't do this. All the subordinates unanimously said yes.

As soon as it was dark that day, Zhu Yitian led a hundred subordinates to go straight to the station of the Mengdan envoy in Tingzhou City. On that day, when a strong wind blew, Zhu Yitian ordered more than a dozen people to hide behind the enemy's garrison with drums, and as soon as they saw the fire, they beat the war drums and shouted loudly, pretending to be like an army of thousands of people. He also ordered others to lie in ambush on both sides of the door with swords, guns, bows, and crossbows. After the arrangement, Zhu Yitian set fire to the wind, and for a while, hundreds of subordinates made noise before and after, and the momentum was noisy. The 1,000 envoys of the Mundanan Kingdom were in a mess, and when they heard that they were surrounded by a large army outside the garrison, they all fled, but they were not familiar with the terrain and had no way to escape. Zhu Yitian personally killed nearly 100 envoys of the Mengdan Kingdom, and his subordinates also killed nearly 100 envoys of the Mengdan Kingdom, and the remaining hundreds of envoys of the Mengdan Kingdom were all buried in the fire.

After dawn, Zhu Yitian ordered everyone to wear the clothes of the guards of the Tingzhou Mansion, and hyped it up in the streets and alleys of Tingzhou that the Tingzhou Mansion and the Mengdan Kingdom were incompatible, and if the Mengdan Kingdom sent envoys again, the end would be exactly the same as today, and as many Mengdan envoys would kill as many people.

After that, Wang Kangping, the lord of Tingzhou City, and his mother Liu knew about it, both of them were shocked, Liu took a sip of tea, forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately sent his son Wang Kangping to find his cousin Zhu Yitian, and swore that the Wang family would fully support the reconstruction of the Tingce Army in the future.
