Noticing Zhang Ke's action of turning back, Lu Juan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the whip in his hand landed on the back of the dragon seed who was pulling, and with a slightly painful neigh, the two dragon horses pulling the cart kicked their hooves a few times.

A burst of fire erupted from under the hoof, and the already speeding frame was even more galloping at the moment.

turned into a streamer and went straight to Zhang Ke's face.

"Total... It's finally time to catch up!"

Le Ma parked the frame to the side, and Lu Juan gasped for breath as he stepped down from the car.

"What kind of wind blew Judge Lu here?"

Zhang Ke glanced at the frame of the car pulled by the dragon.

With gold as the bone, with jade as the decorating... Even a cushion is not only made of silk and gold wire, but also made into a magic weapon, which makes people sit comfortably while providing a clear mind and calming effect.

The frame is even more dazzling, the Ambilight flashes non-stop, and from the appearance, it is more luxurious and gorgeous than Zhang Ke's.

Lu judged that this was pulling out the emperor's frame?

It's not that Lu Juan can't afford this frame, it's just that this luxurious style doesn't seem like an underworld yin god would choose.

As the god of the underworld, even if he is a god, his own things will inevitably bring some gloomy and terrifying.

It's like Zhang Ke's frame, although it is also inlaid with gold carvings and jade, but it is the rhino canal with the blood of ancient fierce beasts that pulls the car.

And Lu Juan is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

Ryoma driving, a bit of a contradiction.

However, the question of who belongs is secondary, the key lies in Lu Ju's thousands of miles away, from Dunhuang to Middle-earth to find himself, what can be so important?

While thinking, Zhang Ke waved his hand to disperse the surrounding monsters and indigenous gods.

The rest of the conversation, they don't deserve to listen to yet.

After the surroundings became clear, Lu Juan also came to Zhang Ke, and as soon as they met, he couldn't wait to grab Zhang Ke's arm: "You kid, you move too fast!"

"Didn't you say that you had a good strategy for Tibet, why did you come to Middle-earth again?"

"You have a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, you are too jumpy! Not to mention the dispatch of troops from the Central Plains, even the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Protectorate did not react, even if our Tang Dynasty soldiers were strong and strong, the burden of fighting on multiple fronts was too great, not to mention that the Western Regions were already far away, and the Middle Earth was even more..."

"Listen to me, let's not be too ambitious, take down all the Tibetans first, and then talk about other things?"

As he spoke, he was about to pull Zhang Ke to the frame.

But after taking two steps, he found that Zhang Ke not only did not follow, but his two feet seemed to have taken root on the ground, and he couldn't pull at all.

Lu Ju, who had his back to Zhang Ke, had a bitter expression, but when he turned back again, his face changed to a puzzled expression: "Who are you?"

Zhang Ke said, "Before Lu Juan came here, he shouldn't have been to Tubo, right? But if you take a look at it, you will know the situation, more than half of the soldiers and horses in Tubo have been lost, and the gods and Buddhas have also been killed, and now it is not even an empty shelf, there is no need to prepare at all, and sending more than 10,000 foot soldiers over is the work of destroying the country for thousands of miles!"

"Before leaving, I have ordered my day and night wandering gods to go to Xiyue Temple to report the battle situation."

"I came to Middle-earth after destroying Tibet first, and I didn't fight on multiple fronts, besides, you see this Middle-earth, demons and monsters, gods and natives, everyone yearns for my Tang Dynasty, and they have taken the initiative to vote, burden? Where is the burden?"

Zhang Ke was calm.

He knew what Lu Ju meant, but Tubo was suppressed by a witch, and in terms of the witch's past experience, after breaking free from the seal, she didn't turn Tubo upside down for the first time, and it was already for Zhang Ke's sake.

Otherwise, a detain, especially a goddess, would be much more terrifying than a demon.

With witches to watch, coupled with tens of thousands of five rampant soldiers roaming the plateau, the Tubo people couldn't afford to stir up any storms at all, and at most they did some obscure things in private.

To describe today's Tibet in four words, that is impregnable!

As for

Middle-earth is pure surprise, not in Middle-earth, on his own territory, with the help of geographical advantages to deal with him, but to gather a large army across the region to crusade against him.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

It's just that they misjudged the timing.

After swallowing the land of the Western Turks, Zhang Ke's strength has risen, and it is no longer something they can limit, plus the Tubo Buddha betrayed his teammates.

In the face of the almost crippled Middle Earth, if Zhang Ke doesn't come, is it possible to give up to those angels? What's the difference between this and the waste that pays the reparations after winning the war, you say, bring it clear?

Listening to Zhang Ke's calm and resolute tone, Lu Juan sighed: "Why don't you eat so much oil and salt!"

"Is this conquest of a country so easy to decide?"

It would be nice if you really won or lost a fight.

As the saying goes, it's easy to fight the world, but it's hard to defend the world.

The same is true for conquering a country, it is easy to conquer a city and occupy land, but how to conquer the hearts of the people in this land in the future is extremely difficult.

In particular, while buying people's hearts and changing customs, we must also pay attention to fairness.

Otherwise, if the treatment of the Fanbang barbarians is too high, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the people's feelings will be turbulent, and those Fanbang barbarians will not necessarily appreciate it.

However, if these barbarians are too harsh, it is easy to cause people's hearts to fluctuate, and eventually fall into a vicious circle of repeated rebellions and counterinsurgency.

Most importantly.

Now there are not enough people!.

You must know that before the Tang Dynasty was established, the world of Kyushu had experienced hundreds of years of war, from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to the Three Kingdoms, to the Eight Kings Rebellion of the Sima family, and the follow-up Five Hu Chaos...

The land of Kyushu is shrouded in the clouds of war all year round.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, and demons and monsters are rampant, and there is not one in ten people in Kyushu.

Even if the follow-up Great Sui dominated the world again, another second died.

Kyushu is in turmoil again.

When the Tang Dynasty was first decided, the Central Plains had ten rooms and nine emptiness, and the world was vegetarian.

Even if there is Taizong's Zhenguan rule in the front, but now, the world is not peaceful enough for a hundred years, although Kyushu's vitality has recovered a lot, but it is far from the peak, just like a person who has just recovered from a serious illness, if you want to restore your health, you need to maintain it for a long time.

In other words, now, even the original land of Kyushu cannot be arranged by the people of Datang.

What's more, from the time of Taizong's reign, the Tang Dynasty's conquests have been continuous, conquering the Mobei Turks, attacking Goguryeo, Xue Yantuo... Now the Son of Heaven, who has inherited the throne, has also chased Taizong with his martial arts.

Internal governance and external expeditions, even battles and victories!

And the land occupied is to relocate the people who used to live.

At the very least, the number of the common people and the barbarians must be maintained to a level of approximate equality.

Only when there are more local Tang people, the possibility of rebellion will be reduced, and this land will really move closer to the Tang Dynasty and merge.

"It's not that you're defeated, it's that you're burdened when you're lost."

Lu Juan said: "Even if the battle is won, this attack on the large amount of land recovered by the Western Turks will need to move more people over, which is already a burden for the current Tang Dynasty, not to mention a Tubo."

"These two pieces of land are going to be half the size of the Tang Dynasty! How many people have to be relocated, how many officials and the earth gods will come over, and tens of thousands of people can't even make a splash if they fall down, at least it's a major event involving millions of people."

"Let's not talk about the difficulty of leaving the homeland, how many people are willing to leave their homeland and come to the Western Regions to fight Tibet. Even if everyone is enthusiastic, the supporting officials and local officials can't conjure up out of thin air, you know?"

Lu Juan said in a deep voice, "This Middle Earth must not be taken again, and the excess land whip is beyond the reach.... Listen to my advice, slowly figure it out, anyway, we and other gods have a long life, so we are not in a hurry at this time..."

His voice grew lower and lower.

Lu Juan found that from beginning to end, Zhang Ke's expression had not changed, as if he was right

A stubborn stone speaks the same.

No wonder before he came, the emperor had instructed him: "That kid is very good, and it is not easy to persuade him to change his mind."

At that time, Lu Juan didn't care.

After all, compared to the emperor, he had more contact with Zhang Ke, and in the past contact, he did not notice that Zhang Ke had a tendency in this regard, but he was very easy to talk to.

I don't know which junior came out.

However, I think it should also be a Taoist master.

But now it seems......

Lu Juan didn't care what Zhang Ke was thinking, he just wanted to take advantage of the Tang Army's merits and return to the Western Regions to conquer the city.

Of course, the words can't be said so bluntly.

So, he thought for a moment and said, "There is no king in the whole world, and there are no kings and ministers on the shores of the land, and there are so many people in the world! Mencius also once said: If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world."

"I was originally a mountain god in the countryside, and I was fortunate enough to be appreciated by the Son of Heaven and valued by the emperor, and I was fortunate enough to take a small position of authority, how could I not think about the reason for returning? Now the big victory is the time to take advantage of the general trend and pursue the victory!"

"When I lay down Middle-earth, kick the far west, and destroy the birds and people, then the world will be unified and the four seas will be subjugated......

Lu Juan, who was listening, looked at Zhang Ke a little distracted.

Originally, in his opinion, Zhang Ke was just greedy for the authority of Middle Earth and wanted to take it further, of course, under the same realm, if it was him, he would not be able to control it, after all, now the Western Regions and Tubo are equivalent to half of the Tang Dynasty.

If you go one step further and take down Middle Earth, even if the land in the Western Regions is a little barren, but the land that is not much different from the current territory of the Tang Dynasty, such a great achievement, I am afraid that a single throne can no longer be limited.

"Shhh Don't dare to think, don't dare to think.

Now, I didn't expect that Zhang Ke is thinking of repaying his kindness, and if he wants to change his mind, it will be even more difficult. However, he came on a mission.

Lu Juan racked his brains and wanted to persuade again, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Zhang Ke: "Lu Juan don't talk too much, I will bear the success or failure of right and wrong!"

The reason why I say this is because Zhang Ke noticed that the sky directly west of him was surging, as if something was being bred in the sky over there... This scene is familiar.

When he was promoted to authority and forged the divine bones, it was a similar scene.

Unexpectedly, the current Middle-earth.

And such a bold existence.

Even after the exploration of the divine thoughts, it perceives that the other party is using faith and has nothing to do with the local mountains and rivers and leylines, but it dares to move faith today and dare to move authority tomorrow.

"Be bold, look for death!"

Zhang Ke was furious, and the surrounding wind inspired his emotions, and suddenly set off a gust of wind, carrying Zhang Ke into the air, and his figure quickly moved away.

"Well, to put it simply, if you want to leave, can I stop you?"

Lu Juan sighed softly, turned his head and boarded the frame, accompanied by the two dragon horses jumped up, the frame parked on the ground quickly flew into the sky, and the four hooves of the dragon horse stepped on the air as if walking on the ground.

Lu Juan drove and chased in the direction where Zhang Ke disappeared.

His expectations for persuading Zhang Ke to return are getting lower and lower, but even if it can't be done, he has to follow suit, save himself when the time comes, and do more earth-shattering things.

......

At the same time, in a city far to the west, tens of thousands of people walked to the center of the city under the coercion of a group of men in white robes and armed weapons.

Here, in the center, stands a statue of an angel with a halo on his head, wings on his back, and a sword and a staff in each hand.

In the panic, someone noticed that the face of the statue was strikingly similar to that of the god in the Fire Worship Temple—although the face of the angel statue was much younger, as the most faithful believer, this difference was purely insulting to his intelligence.

It's just that why is this angel so similar to the god of fire.... Before he could figure it out, the white-robed men behind him came up with weapons and forced everyone to worship the statue.

Anyone who disobeyed would be scolded and smashed on the body by several white robes with the handle of their knives.

From beginning to end, not a drop of blood was shed, but it was difficult for the beaten person to get up from the ground, and he could only hum weakly.

Seeing this, although there was a lot of unwillingness in people's hearts, they had to obey the order, knelt down obediently, and under the guidance of the white-robed man, while worshipping the angel statue, while reciting the praise scriptures in their mouths.

At first, people were reluctant.

But gradually, with the recitation of the scriptures, the anger in my heart gradually subsided, and at the same time, I felt a warm feeling from the inside out, as if I was in some warm embrace, a feeling of comfort, which prompted a strange thought to come to my heart.

So happy, it seems that there is nothing wrong with bowing down?

I know that this is wrong, it is a blasphemy and betrayal of the god of fire, but I am too happy and warm, and I can't control my desire to immerse myself in it.

He even began to recite the scriptures over and over again.

In this tangled and pleasant atmosphere, a bright light grows above everyone's head, which is faith, and the belief in different gods and goddesses has different forms.

However, as I grew up, this ray of light was gradually cast a thin shadow.

This is because these people are not pure in their beliefs, and when they are immersed in angels, they also think of other gods......
