The eighth year, the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the sixth month, the beginning of the moon.

In the eighth year, the time of the nine stars, the time of the moon, the two solar terms of the small summer and the big heat.

In the last month, on the last day of Muyue, Yelu Deguang canonized Dongfang Yanguang as the new emperor of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, replacing the Mengdan Empire and taking charge of this land in the land of Shenzhou.

After doing all this, the Heavenly Khan of the Mengdan Empire, Yelu Deguang, was full of interest, leading the Mengdan Iron Cavalry Army, with carts and carts of booty, back to the Mobei Imperial Capital in the grassland land.

As a result, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Later Jin Dynasty was the first court to be destroyed, and Shi Jingfeng's entire family died.

It can be seen that it is cool to recognize the thief as a father for a while, and endless disasters are waiting. Previously, before the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were opened, his younger brother Shi Jingchao was because he recognized Yelu Deguang, who was younger than him, as his father-in-law, so he gave birth to a rebellious heart.

In the end, Shi Jingfeng watched as his younger brother Shi Jingchao's entire family was executed by Yelu Deguang in Youzhou City.

Now, after Shi Jingfeng's death, Yelu Deguang instigated Dongfang Yanguang's group to kill his entire family.

Zhennai, the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, who has been spared?

As a result, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Bai Tu Kingdom in Leizhou City was the first to be destroyed, and Bai Renyi's family, except for his son Bai Yulong, was still alive, his daughter-in-law Yun Yiyin, his wife Mrs. Bai, his three brothers, and his four nephews, along with a group of people, all died.

If it weren't for it, on the Heavenly Apocalypse Peak of Nine Immortal Mountain, Yun Wenxi came to the rescue, I'm afraid, Bai Yulong would have died of the revenge demon in his heart.

As a result, at the beginning of the opening of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the first to merge the two island countries, the eight islands of the East Island Country and the Eight Islands of the South Island Country, into the sixteen island countries of the South China Sea through conspiracy.

The sixteen islands in the South China Sea are:

Crescent, Coral, Ryukyu, Fishing Rain, Penghu, Miyako, Wang'an, Zhoushan, Huayang, Kowloon, Nansha, Fiery Cross, Taiping, Cam Ranh, Huangyan, Lindao.

The last prime minister of the Tang Dynasty - Dongfang Yuandao was the peak of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, riding the wall back and forth, he became the lord of the sixteen island countries in the South China Sea, and the current city lord of the upper capital.

Not only that, the Oriental Far Road also has the seal of the two dynasties, the Later Jin Dynasty and the Later Han Dynasty.

In the end, after the fall of the Later Jin Dynasty, his son Dongfang Yanguang became the puppet emperor, and their family became the biggest beneficiary of this disaster in the land of Shenzhou.

………………………………………………

In the eighth year of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, in June, at the beginning of the Mangyue month.

The 200,000 Mengdan Iron Cavalry Army, starting from the easternmost Great Wall defense line on the coast of the North Sea, swept through the entire Youyun Fifteen Prefectures, until the troops reached the city of Youzhou.

It lasted for half a month, a large-scale battle, and an army of 200,000 Montaine iron cavalry, invincible, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil.

Under the continuous war, the people of Youyun, except for the city of Leizhou, were all killed in battle, except for Bai Yulong and Long Yue.

The people of the other states did not flee to the northern border, were not captured to the imperial capital of Mobei, and were not brutally killed, and the vast land of Youyun was like purgatory on earth.

For this reason, Tingzhou City has accommodated countless refugees from Youyun, and the entire livelihood economy of the northern border country has also paid a great price.

In the end, under the maintenance of Zhu Yitian and a group of civil and military generals, the situation was barely stabilized.

The land of China, the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, originally balanced each other and maintained a delicate balance, will inevitably undergo extremely drastic changes as a result.

In Chang'an City, the emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, the Li family, and the only remaining royal family, Li Ketian, the prospect of the peaceful unification of the Five Dynasties, which he and Shen Jimiao had conceived, or the prospect of unifying the Five Dynasties and rebuilding the Tang Dynasty at the smallest cost, suddenly dimmed.

At that time, the Later Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City, and the palace were brightly lit, and many Later Tang Wenchen generals such as Li Ketian and Shen Jimiao were planning for the future.

At this time, on the side of the Later Sui court, Tingzhou City, the city was in an uproar, and the crowd was angry.

The vendors are in no mood, the food in restaurants and restaurants seems to be less flavorful, and the people of Tingzhou are in no mood to do anything.

Although there is a Great Wall defense line in the north direction, but in the east direction, from the entire Youzhou City, a flank sneak attack.

The front is a straight fist, the side is a right hook, such an unfavorable situation, who can sit at home?

Even, together with the small number of disabled soldiers of the Chengde Army who were unwilling to submit to the puppet regime of the Mundan Empire, who had just fled from the front line of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, spontaneously came to the front of Ziwei Palace.

The people of Tingzhou, a small number of disabled soldiers of the Chengde Army, most of the people who fled from Youyun, and thousands of people stood silently outside the Ziwei Palace of the Later Sui Imperial Court.

No one made trouble, no one even made a noise, they all stood in the scorching summer sun, and stood in the middle of the night before they dispersed.

And then the next day, it was the same for several days.

Thousands of people gathered together and looked at Ziwei Palace silently for several days, but they were silent.

The silence outside the Ziwei Palace caused indescribable pressure on the Emperor Zhu Yitian of the Later Sui Dynasty, the Prince of the Later Sui Dynasty Yun Xingchen, and a group of military generals in the Ziwei Palace.

Actually, it wasn't that Zhu Yitian didn't lead the Thunder Iron Cavalry to save Youzhou City.

Instead, Youzhou City rebelled internally with the ghost Ji snake demon in Dongfang Yanguang and surrendered too quickly.

When Zhu Yitian gathered more than 100,000 Tingce iron cavalry and sent troops to Youzhou City, after half the march, he learned that Youzhou City had surrendered and sacrificed the city, and he knew that the general trend had gone and was irretrievable.

If it is, at this time, he will attack Youzhou City, and his hundreds of thousands of thunder troops, I am afraid, there will be no return.

………………………………………………

The eighth year of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, in June, in the middle of Mang.

Outside the Ziwei Palace, thousands of people have been silent for nearly ten days.

All of them, starting early in the morning during the day and going back late at night to get some rest.

Eventually, the next day, and then, and so on, and so on,

In the middle of the day, this afternoon.

In the Ziwei Palace, above the Ziwei Palace, for several days, Zhu Yitian sat on the dragon chair, and from early morning to now, he was also a little bored.

So, he stepped down from the high dragon chair and came to the middle of a group of courtiers and military generals.

At this time, the young prince, Yun Xingchen, still insisted on his opinion:

"Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, but one of the most important horse ranches in the land of Shenzhou, if you lose Youyun, not only will you lose half of the Great Wall defense line, but you will also be gone, in the past, the most important horse ranch in the Tang Dynasty."

"Therefore, no matter what, we must recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun and drive Dongfang Yanguang, the puppet of the Mundan Empire, out of Youzhou City."

Indeed, as Yun Xingchen said, within the sixteen states of Youyun, there are many places that stretch for hundreds of miles of natural grassland, regardless of the climate, or the topography, the sixteen states of Youyun are the most suitable for raising war horses.

Because, war horses need to be wild in order to reflect their blood on the battlefield, if they are in captivity, how can they be wild.

Therefore, since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the tradition and custom of raising war horses in the sixteen states of Youyun have been formed.

And the precedent that set this precedent was the Han Dynasty, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, from the Four Wilderness Countries at the foot of the Kunlun Tianshan Mountain.

So, more than two hundred years ago, in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, this tradition was followed.

Therefore, decades ago, the Tang Dynasty had not experienced the Anshi Rebellion, nor was it in the reign of the last Tang Emperor Li Yu.

At that time, on the land of Shenzhou, the warlord power had not yet become a climate.

At that time, for more than a hundred years, the Datang Iron Cavalry also crisscrossed the grassland, which made the Mengdan Iron Cavalry fearful.

One of the very important reasons for this is that the horse ranches in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun have been providing an endless stream of blood-blooded war horses that are the most wild, tamed, and strictly disciplined.

………………………………………………

On this day, it was above the Later Sui court, arguing about whether to recover the sixteen states of Youyun, and the three parties were arguing.

The first party, represented by the young prince Yun Xingchen, insisted on the moment and immediately sent troops to recover the sixteen states of Youyun.

On this side, there are only a few supporters, but Yun Xingchen argues with reason and will never compromise.

However, this side, outside the palace, represents, the voice of thousands of people.

The second party, represented by the Later Sui Xiangguo, including a number of civilian forces, advocated a corner of peace and did not easily start a war.

On this side, there are many supporters, a group of civilian officials, and some generals of the Thunderce Army.

From the perspective of strategic situation, this side is not unreasonable, in the northern border country, the north must defend the Great Wall, if so, the east will continue to fight, and then Li Ketian of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhou Zetian of the Later Zhou, if they do not unite as one, quickly capture the sixteen states of Youyun.

Once, all the Thunderce armies of the Northern Frontier Kingdom fell into a protracted war with the puppet regime of the Mundan Empire in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

In the north, if the Mengdan Iron Cavalry takes advantage of the weakness to enter, I am afraid that the northern country will not be protected.

However, these three dynasties, the Later Sui, the Later Tang, and the Later Zhou, united, if so, to capture the sixteen states of Youyun.

After that, how to divide the spheres of influence of the parties!

Luoyang City in the Later Zhou Dynasty, Chang'an City in the Later Tang Dynasty, and Tingzhou City in the Later Sui Dynasty, the land divided into sixteen states was a useless place for the Later Zhou court.

Chang'an City in the Later Tang Dynasty, compared with Tingzhou City in the Later Sui Dynasty, is much farther away from the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

No matter how the land of the sixteen states is divided, for Tingzhou City, it cannot hide the geographical fact that the building near the water has the first month.

Therefore, the second party should adopt a conservative attitude, which is understandable.

The third party, represented by the Later Sui Emperor Zhu Yitian, including some high-ranking generals of the core Tingce Army, advocated the formation of a joint court of the two dynasties, that is, the Later Sui court and the Later Tang court united into one court and two armies.

The Thunderce army defended the Great Wall in the north to defend against the surprise attack of the Mundan Iron Cavalry from the steppe land.

The dragoon army of Chang'an City is used to conquer the Quartet and recreate a unified land of China.

However, from the very beginning, this idea was resolutely resisted by the Later Sui Xiangguo, a group of civilian officials, and some generals of the Ting Ce Army.

Because, this means that the Tingce army guards the Great Wall in the north, then the entire civil official group of the Later Sui court, from Xiangguo to the small officials, will basically be replaced by the civil official group represented by Shen Miao.

Therefore, in the face of the temptation of future interests, a group of civilian-official groups led by Later Sui Xiangguo resolutely resisted.

Besides, that part of the generals of the Thunderce Army, that is, who had followed Zhu Yitian into Chang'an City, and had fierce battles with the Dragoon Army and the Longxiang Army, were stained with the blood of many of their generals and soldiers, and in addition, Zhu Yitian killed Li Quanzhong, the commander of these two Praetorian Guards at that time, he was the father of Li Ketian, the current Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty.

The reason is that Zhu Yitian's wife, Yun Huixian, was dug up by Li Yu, the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and used it in Mengchen's body.

So, in the past, that night, Zhu Yitian swung his sword and assassinated Li Yu with a sword, just a sword, stabbing the entire chest and heart, and in an instant, the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty was killed instantly.

In the end, relying on the sky and slaying the dragon, causing the end of the Tang Dynasty.

After that, it was the Tingce army far away in the northern country, taking advantage of the leaderless and chaotic situation in Chang'an City, to attack Chang'an City.

In this way, between the two sides, there is a deep blood feud, and naturally, this part of the generals who participated in that battle resolutely resisted the establishment of a united imperial court.

lest it be liquidated by the civil official group of the Later Tang Dynasty in the future.

As such, these three parties have been at loggerheads.

Until late at night that day, all the people outside the Ziwei Palace who hoped to recover the sixteen states of Youyun also dispersed, and a group of courtiers and military generals were also tired of arguing, so they went back to their respective mansions.

………………………………………………

Late that night, the Ziwei Hall was quiet and silent, and the flames brought by the fire stone were like golden trees.

At midnight, after that, it is the ugly hour of the next day, when the rooster crows.

Yun Xingchen and Zhu Yitian, father and son, looked up at the sky outside the Ziwei Hall.

After a long time, Yun Xingchen looked at Zhu Yitian and said: "Shame brings courage and anger, if you can release anger, it is courage, now the whole people feel shame, let them release their anger, bring courage to Youyun, and recover the land of the sixteen states." ”

When Zhu Yitian heard this, he remained silent for a long time, he was thinking about his own affairs.

Because, Zhu Yitian knew that the previous military offensive and defensive alliance of the Later Sui and Later Tang Dynasty was an imminent move by Li Ketian.

However, in Li Ketian's bones, he has hatred for the past, and this hatred is not something that his generation can reconcile.

After a long time, Zhu Yitian replied to his son's proposal: "In the era of great chaos, what you think about is too emotional, and people are the product of the social environment and the background of the times. Out of the background of the times, no matter how the people feel shame and anger now, once they fall into the big war against Youyun, I am afraid that they will never recover. ”

When Yun Xingchen heard this, he sighed and was speechless.

After that, Zhu Yitian continued: "Even if the civilian clique doesn't like it, the people don't like it, and you don't like it either." However, the background of the times does not care about this. ”

In the end, Yun Xingchen compromised, and he was willing to listen to his father's third plan.

Yun Xingchen's personality is like that of his mother Yun Huixian, who is relatively easy-going and easy to compromise.

However, the result of Yun Huixian's compromise was that she died and perished, because the background of the times she lived in was a faint king.

Therefore, Yun Xingchen likes girls with a character like Caiyi very much, if she doesn't reach the Yellow River, she will not die, and she will jump down when she arrives in the Yellow River to experience the feeling of death.

A boy who can compromise will like a girl who refuses to compromise and is full of personality.

………………………………………………

This night, Yun Xingchen had no intention of sleeping, not in the prince's mansion, tossing and turning, but traveling around Tingzhou City.

At the end of the day, night and day, at the turn of the day, the sky began to fall, and it was a gentle drizzle.

Fortunately, the drizzle was hazy, and the clothes on Yun Xingchen's body were not very wet.

On the street, a breakfast shop that came out to sell breakfast was preparing breakfast pasta.

The smell of cooking in vegetable oil and the smell of burning with slightly damp firewood are mixed together, and it smells good.

With steps to disperse the breath and rain to clear the heart, Yun Xingchen's mood at this time became more and more calm.

Although, Yun Xingchen knew, it was because Li Yu was unreasonable, which caused the tragic death of his mother, and in the end, his father relied on the sky to slay the dragon, which led to the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Similarly, Li Ketian's father, Zhu Yitian's father-in-law, Li Quanzhong was killed by Zhu Yitian, and the root cause is that he is unconscious.

However, the grievances of the previous generation, if the two dynasties merge, this plan seems to be difficult to achieve.

However, after all, I want to give it a try.

In the end, when the sky was hazy, Yun Xingchen decided to immediately go to Jin Chan, Dongfang Xuantian, and Nangong Xuanwu.

Discuss together, go to Chang'an City, find Li Ketian and Shen Miao, and discuss the merger of the two dynasties.

Seven Words Summary:

The sixteen states of Youyun fell, and the city of Tingzhou was grieved and humiliated,

Thousands of people were silent, and Ziwei Hall argued for ten days.

The opinions of the three parties are disputed, and the corner of peace is the most powerful.

The father and son watched the sky, and Yun Xingchen chose to compromise.
