Chapter 97: Purple Mansion Divine Xiao, the Kingdom of Jin Has Actually Fallen?
Luoyang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, with Ping Pishan in the north, Luoshui in the south, Huhu Prison in the east, and Yinghan Valley in the west.
Surrounded by mountains, the middle is the Luoyang Plain, Yi, Luo, Qian, Jian four rivers flow through it, it is not only the situation is dangerous, but also the scenery is beautiful, the soil is fertile, the climate is moderate, the transportation is convenient, it is a famous city through the ages.
There were Xia, Shang, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei, Sui and eight dynasties built their capitals here.
The so-called "Heyang Dingding Land", located in the Central Plains and corresponding to the Quartet, Luoyang is the world's traffic stronghold, military fortress.
During the Sui Yangguang period, Luoyang was overhauled.
Not only the city has been heightened and strengthened many times, but also with Luoyang as the center, a grand canal has been dug out to reach Hangzhou in the south, reach Zhuojun in the north, and run through the north and south.
The canal connects the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River, and Luoyang has since become the central hub of transportation and commerce in the world.
After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he moved the capital from Chang'an to Luoyang, not only to weaken the deep-rooted family gate valve in Chang'an City, but also for this reason.
Luoyang City has two major characteristics.
The first is to take the north and south as the central axis, let Luoshui run through the whole city, divide Luoyang into two districts in the north and south, and connect them with four bridges.
Luoshui in the city is connected with other three rivers of Yi, Han and Jian in the city, so that the river in the city lingers, and the beauty of the mountains and rivers is moved to the city, giving people a sense of heaven and earth.
The second is outside the west wall of Waiguo City, because of its natural environment, the West Garden, west to Xin'an, north to Pishan, south to Yique Mountains, around more than 200 miles.
Since Li Tang unified the Central Plains, peony flowers have become the favorite of rich princes, and the climate of Luoyang is very suitable for planting peony flowers, and the peony flower meeting is not to be missed.
Li Jinyu grew up in Luoyang since he was a child, and he was very familiar with Luoyang City.
The Yelu brothers are relatively reckless, they only care about whether the city is high or not, whether it is thick or not, and Yelu Alian, who is familiar with the Han culture, is even more curious about it.
Walking outside the city, seeing the towering city from afar, Yelu Alian sighed: "It is worthy of being a famous city in the Central Plains, and it is really a big country!" β
When Li Jinyu heard this, her face was slightly proud, and Li Yuanfang and Nan Jiyun also looked proud.
This is not the pride of belonging to one person alone, this is the pride of belonging to this era.
At the north gate of Luoyang, there are many poles, flags fluttering, and the sound of drum music shakes the heavens and the earth.
Under the castle tower, the Jin Wuwei banner stood first, followed by the official of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of greeting him.
Xu Jingzong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, went out to greet Xue Ji with Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, Li Jinyu had no interest in these, but at this time, the handover was not completed, so he could only listen to people's greetings patiently, and he felt more tired than fighting with Fang Yeyu.
Finally, the greetings were over, and there were still a lot of messy etiquette, although Li Jinyu was tired, she could only be patient from beginning to end.
Busy with all the etiquette, Li Jinyu did not go to the Ministry of War to hand over his duties, but Li Jinyu sent someone to report the war to the Ministry of War, Wu Zetian felt that Li Jinyu did a good job, so he asked Li Jinyu to continue to be responsible for the safety of the messenger.
On the one hand, there is a beginning and an end to doing things, and on the other hand, it is also to give more credit, and the official seal is greater.
Li Jinyu naturally would not refuse this, but the envoys were going to the palace for a night banquet tonight, and preparations were being made at this time, and Li Jinyu had time to go home to rest and rest.
Coincidentally, Yu Chi Zhenjin thought of this, so he deliberately asked for leave and waited for Li Jinyu at home.
β¦β¦
"Bad old man, you cheat me!"
"Bastard! What do you call me? β
"Who asked you to cheat me, believe it or not, I went to my stepmother to complain, so that you don't dare to go home in January!"
"The matter is satisfactorily settled, you can at least get a viscount, what is there not to be satisfied with?"
"Don't talk about the assassin I met halfway, just say that the master sent by Meng Yuan, that's Li Chimei, if it weren't for Li Chimei's carelessness, I would be dead now!"
Hearing this, Yu Chi Zhenjin was a little embarrassed, and said stiffly: "Aren't you okay!" β
"That's my great fortune, how can my name as a koi fish be in vain? But this is my personal helper, and you still miscalculated. β
"Bastard boy, don't talk nonsense, just say what you want, don't talk crookedly with me, Lao Tzu hates this thing the most, or you will bother Di Lao Fox!"
"Dad, the surviving Jin Wuwei are all elites, when the child is knighted and wants to bring these people under his command, can you make it convenient?"
"There's something to call daddy, it's okay to mess with the old man, you're such a little bastard, but your idea is good, I'll write the order, they're all yours."
"Then, can you answer my question?"
"What's the problem?"
"What's in it for me? Don't talk to me about the official seal, I'm talking about the mysterious benefits. β
"What, this, that!"
"Dad, Dad, you are a good hand at leading troops to fight, and your ability to lie is much worse, give me a thorough understanding and make me a little happy."
"Alas!" Yu Chi Zhenjin patted his head, "If I had known, I would have let Di Lao Fox fool you!" β
"Speak, I'll listen."
"Eighty or ninety years ago, there was a strange figure in the rivers and lakes who was both civil and military, he was a mixture of Turkic and Han Chinese, and his wife was a Liao."
"And then?"
"Due to the special blood relationship, he devoted his life to the peace of the Central Plains of the grassland, and even accepted three disciples for this purpose, one each of the Turkic, Han and Liao people!"
Li Jinyu knew it in her heart, and when she had a conversation with Xiao Yuanshan, she thought of this strange person.
The name of this person is unknown, and the number is "Sanhe Yishi".
It's just that in the original plot, he is a mixed race of Jin and Han Chinese, and this world has become a mixed Turkic and Han Chinese due to the problems of the times, but there is no gap.
Yu Chi Zhenjin told slowly, and Li Jinyu was also imagining in his heart, sometimes good and sometimes bad.
His Turkic disciple died with the fall of the Turks, and the Han disciple had a bad heart and became the devil that everyone shouted and beat, and was arrested by Guo Bujing.
Xiao Yuanshan did a good job, but unfortunately Murong Bo made a calculation and put his life's work into the water.
Sanhe Yishi is a scholar of heaven and man, and his proficient martial arts are also both good and evil, mainly four kinds of blood knife, rotten bone palm, pure yang gang qi, and purple mansion divine flute.
The Blood Knife and the Rotten Bone Palm are both poisonous skills, and the Purple Mansion Divine Flute must be proficient in music and rhythm, and know how to be poetic and picturesque.
Xiao Yuanshan, a big old man, doesn't know poetry and painting, and doesn't like poisonous skills, so Sanhe Yishi only teaches a Xuanmen authentic heart method, but his best mastery has not been taught, which is a pity.
Today, Sanhe Yishi Shouyuan is approaching, and he originally wanted to record what he has learned all his life and leave it to those who are destined.
But he happened to hear that Wu Zhou and Liao had formed an alliance, so he wanted to take this opportunity to find a qualified successor, and Li Jinyu's performance along the way was a plus.
Even if it is a ruthless killing of assassins, it is very much in line with the appetite of Sanhe Yishi.
After all, a master who is proficient in poison skills naturally cannot be a soft-hearted person.
For those who abandon the righteousness of the world for their own selfish interests, Sanhe Yishi will kill when he sees it.
And Sanhe Yishi has many unique learnings, but they are very suitable for Li Jinyu, and there are almost no unsuitable ones.
Although Li Jinyu can't use poison, he has an ice silkworm Gu and can use ice silkworm cold qi and venom to perform two unique skills.
Not only is there no trace and it is impossible to prevent it, but there is no risk of poisonous gas backing up on itself.
Pure Yang Gang Qi is the authentic sect of Xuanmen, you can understand it by listening to the name, and it is very suitable for the Purple Qi Yuan Sect.
The Purple Mansion Divine Flute is combined with the special "Warm Jade Flute", which can blow out the pure Yang Gang Qi, transform the body protection Gang Qi into an offensive mastery, and specialize in breaking the Yin and Evil Martial Arts.
As for the requirements for music, there are so many pedantic seniors around Li Jinyu, you can learn any one of them, and it is not very difficult to learn Shi Qingxuan and Huang Yaoshi, and to learn to the level of ordinary musicians.
Li Jinyu recently felt that she was born so personable, and it was too indecent to take out a knife and cut people for a long time.
If you hold the warm jade flute, play a song "Yangchun White Snow", and sweep away the evil foreign enemies with pure yang qi, that kind of scene will definitely be higher than pulling out a knife.
Just as Li Jinyu was enjoying the future, the housekeeper Fu Bo suddenly came over and knocked on the door: "Master, the holy decree has arrived!" β
"Which father-in-law delivered the decree?"
"It's Cao Zhengchun Cao's father-in-law, he is very urgent, there should be something very important."
"Coming soon!"
Yu Chi Zhenjin left quickly, leaving Li Jinyu who imagined the future, and after a short time, Yu Chi Zhenjin and Cao Zhengchun entered the palace together, leaving extremely urgently.
Li Jinyu asked curiously: "Fu Bo, has something big happened in Luoyang?" Why is it so urgent? β
Fu Bo said: "I didn't hear it, but when the old man left, his expression was very serious, and I heard that the border guards sent eight hundred miles to expedite." β
Li Jinyu said: "Jin Wuwei guards the imperial city, even if the border gate sends 1,600 miles to expedit, what does it have to do with Jin Wuwei?" Has my eldest sister entered the palace? β
"The eldest lady has also gone to the palace."
"My eldest sister also went, tsk......"
Li Jinyu groaned a few times, and said in her heart that it should be Meng Yuan's goal achieved, and the information has already arrived.
Yu Chi Zhenjin is the general of Jin Wuwei, this does not need to be detailed, although the eldest sister Yu Chi Mingjing has no official position, she is also regarded as an "important minister" and can enter and leave the palace freely.
Even, if in terms of seniority, Yu Chi Mingjing can call Wu Zetian "uncle".
Decades ago, there was a female master with superb martial arts in the rivers and lakes, named Pei Qiongxiang.
Pei Qiongxiang was frail and sick when she was young, and she practiced on behalf of Ganye Temple, and coincidentally, at that time, Wu Zetian was expelled from the palace and also came to Ganye Temple to be a nun.
The two hit it off at first sight and became each other's confidants, Pei Qiongxiang treated injuries with martial arts, and Wu Zetian honed his body and mind in the Ganye Temple and deduced the Dafa of Heavenly Demons.
Before Wu Zetian ascended the throne, Pei Qiongxiang's fiancΓ© Wei Chi Hui united with thirty-six masters and wanted to deal with Wu Zetian secretly.
Yu Chi Yu plunged into Wu Zetian's trap, and all the thirty-six masters fell, only Yu Chi Yu fled alone, living in seclusion in the Tianshan Mountains, not asking about the world.
Wu Zetian originally wanted to reward Pei Qiongxiang, but Pei Qiongxiang had no concern, so he cut his hair and became a nun, that is, he and Xiaohanshan's "Red Sleeve Shenni", and the "Nanhai Shenni" of the South China Sea Guixu and the "Three Great Gods" are called the "Youtan Shenni".
When he became the emperor, he was alone, so Wu Zetian cherished this friendship very much, so he used the righteousness of the world as a persuasion and asked Youtan Shenni to cultivate a disciple.
The disciple chosen by Youtan Shenni is Yu Chi Mingjing, but it is said that more than ten years ago, Youtan Shenni accepted another closed disciple.
The division has an order, and Wei Chi Mingjing cannot hold an official position in the court, but in order to show his attention, Wu Zetian gave her a token, which allows her to enter and exit the palace freely, and can also consult some of the information collected by the internal guards.
Previously, Wei Chi Mingjing reprimanded Li Jinyu, and said that Li Jinyu's deliberately exposed vest was because he had checked the relevant information.
At this moment, the palace is deliberating, not only Yu Chi Zhenjin is going to enter the palace, but even Yu Chi Mingjing has gone, which is true
ββThere are ~ points ~ meaning ~ thoughts!
Just as Li Jinyu was silently thinking, a pair of tender little hands fell on her shoulders and kneaded gently.
"What's important in Luoyang during this time?"
"A few days ago, the left and right national teachers went to the grassland together, and sat down with the two masters of Meng Yuan to discuss."
"Huang Shang, Yuan Test, Ba Shi Ba, and Meng Chi Xing, they are really two pairs of excellent opponents, what about other masters?"
"The god catcher and the iron-blooded god marquis are at home, the six-five god marquis and the god power marquis go to the border pass together, the slave and maid don't know the situation of the iron gall god marquis, and the west factory dispatched once."
"Yuhuatian personally took action?"
"No, it's just that the four stalls made a move, it is said that they went to the desert to dig treasures, hundreds of people went out, only a dozen came back, and only one of the four stalls remained."
"What kind of loss is this? There are hundreds of masters imprisoned in the Xichang Heavenly Prison, most of whom have been tamed, and as long as Yuhuatian is willing, he can easily make up for it at any time. β
"Childe, the slave heard a strange thing."
"What?"
"It is said, it's just that it is said that those people in the West Factory did not die in a sandstorm, but were attacked by a master."
"Since it was a sneak attack by a master, how could there be a living mouth? What kind of sneak attack is that? β
"Because that master was too unlucky, he caught up with the sandstorm during the sneak attack, and the one who was alive at the top of the four stalls happened to be from the desert and escaped with the help of the desert."
"Really? Interesting! Well done! β
Li Jinyu smiled proudly.
In just a few months of training, Jiang Yuyan has initially possessed the ability to be a secretary, at least in terms of intelligence collection, not inferior to some skilled people who have been doing it for five or six years.
Li Jinyu's pride did not last long, and when it was time for dinner, although Yu Chi Zhenjin and Yu Chi Mingjing did not go home, news came from Yu Chi Minglou.
Just when the Liao delegation arrived, the wind and clouds were surging on the grassland, and the pattern was broken again.
Aixinjue Luo and Meng Yuan formed an alliance, relying on the secret undercover arranged for many years, and successfully entered the imperial city of the Wanyan family and destroyed the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop.
Although the masters such as Ba Shiba, Meng Chixing, and Li Chimei were stumped, and most of the Meng Yuan Iron Cavalry also had to guard against Wu Zhou Weiwei, the demon master Pang Ban, who had been in retreat for many years, personally took action and killed the Marshal of the Jin State in one fell swoop.
The Red Sun Dharma King, the Golden Wheel Dharma King, the Kundian Venerable, Ao Bai and other masters have set off countless bloody storms.
In terms of strength, the Jin Kingdom would not have been defeated so quickly, but for some reason, the core forces were all divided and finally eaten piece by piece.
The Mengyuan Manchu Qing attack method is not very clever, and the sound of attacking the east and the west is not profound, and the undercover agents sent are nothing, but these "ordinary" are used by a superlative person and give full play to their value.
It's not that Han Xin has more soldiers, the better, but like a rigorous mathematician, he uses precise calculations to include every possibility in mathematics.
Every cent, every millimeter, every bit of strength has been fully utilized, especially the calculation of dividing the core forces of the Jin Kingdom, which is even more terrifying.
It's like having a pair of invisible hands, holding everything in the Jin Kingdom in the palm of your hand, and then clenching your fists fiercely!
Although the Jin State was strong and threatened by Wu Zhou, almost all the important ministers of the court died due to this calculation, and only a few escaped.
Those who escaped were divided into three teams.
The chief sect leader of the Jin Kingdom, "Jin Yan Divine Eagle", led the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, Jin Muxia, the second prince Jin Shenying, and a group of guards to escape to the deep mountains and dense forests.
King Zhao fled to the Western Regions with the help of Ouyang Feng, the "Western Poison", waiting for a comeback.
The eldest princess finished her face and was green, leading the two masters of Chijiaer and Zhen Baiya, as well as a team of iron horsemen, to break through the encirclement, and now she has disappeared.
In addition, there are several masters who were scattered by the chaotic soldiers, and many of these people are Jinguo Beizi Tan Yu Chong, which can be counted as another group of forces.
This is also thanks to Wu Zhou sending the left and right national divisions to drag down the Eighth Division Ba and Meng Chixing, otherwise with the Eighth Division Ba's spiritual method of changing the sky and hitting the earth, it is completely possible to sense the enemy's position from afar, and at least half of them can be left.
After listening to Yu Chi Minglou's words, Li Jinyu opened his mouth and spit out two words: "Awesome!" β
Yu Chiminglou said: "The designers of this plan are the two top geniuses of Meng Yuan and Manchu Qing. β
"Their names."
"The identity of Meng Yuan's genius is unknown, the Manchu one is the son-in-law of the Aixin Jueluo family, named Xuanye!"
"Xuanye ......"
"Isn't it frustrating that he's younger than you, but he can devise such a huge project?"
"It's not that I look down on them, this plan can't be designed by one or two people, or even one or two generations, I'm afraid there are three generations of foreshadowing!"
"Why?"
"With just a few undercover agents, how can it be possible to destroy the Jin Kingdom in such a short time? Aixin Jueluo's family, I'm afraid that since Nurhachi, they have been making arrangements. β
"Isn't there an arrangement for the Wanyan family?"
"Of course they are, but they are not fast enough, in other words, they are not decisive enough!"
"Is that all?"
"I only have two questions."
"What?"
"First, how did the Manchu Qing and the Mongol Yuan form an alliance? Wasn't the Manchus afraid that Meng Yuan would tear up the covenant and drive straight in after destroying the Jin State and destroy them together? β
"That's a good question."
"Second, how much benefit do we get?"
"Shall we?"
"Do you want me to make it clear? When Meng Yuan was preparing, we must also be preparing, and the sound of the east and west was actually going on at the same time, we may not have expected Meng Yuan, and Meng Yuan would not have expected us! β
"Of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, five were destroyed."
"Only five small countries?"
"These five small countries are at the core supply point of the Silk Road, and we will establish a capital there, which will make it more convenient for business and travel, which is a long-term solution."
"That's all?"
"The Mengyuan were besieged by Xue Yantuo, the Uighurs, the Tuyuhun, and the Warat, and lost half a foot of grassland."
"Half a foot, that's a lot!"
