Chapter 231: The Battle of Tibet and Aid

"'Yin-Yang Mirror,' Gossip Purple Silk Immortal Clothes, Emperor Tang, didn't you rob my Yin Hong's nephew?"

More than half a year has passed, and Li Zhi did not deliberately mention the matter of fighting outside the "Dragon Secret Realm", after all, that matter has nothing to do with these people on "Yingzhou Island", and it also involves several spiritual treasures of "unknown origin".

However, in the face of this question of Yun Zhongzi, Li Zhi had to explain it for himself.

"Lord, did you really get the 'Absolute Immortal Sword and' Killing Immortal Sword? ——」

Sure enough, after the same story is told, everyone's focus is different.

What happened back then, the demon saint Bai Ze can be regarded as a person in the know, it is precisely because Li Zhi agreed to the big guy's conditions that this "Yingzhou Island" was moved to the East China Sea by the one who used the great divine power.

Even the "Miluo Phantom Array" that was protected outside the "Yingzhou Island" was personally laid down by that great supernatural person, and this array was enough to abandon the investigation of all people at the "quasi-saint" level and below.

Li Zhi needed to find the lost "Four Swords of Zhuxian" for that year, which was one of the original promises, but he didn't expect that it had only been a few years, and Li Zhi had really brought back two of them.

"Haha, does Ze Lao want to see the beauty of the 'Innate Treasure?'"

The two people present are now their own people, how can Li Zhi be a stingy person?

In a flash of light, two swords appeared in front of the three of them.

Bai Ze had only heard of the name of the "Four Swords of Zhuxian", but he had really never seen it, but Yun Zhongzi had experienced it more than once.

"It seems that my red *** junior brother has not lost unjustly, even if His Majesty the Tang Emperor fights with him in a grand manner, I am afraid it will be easy to win this sword."

What level of combat power is the red ***, Yun Zhongzi, who is a senior brother, naturally knows it.

When they first met half a year ago, he also fought with Li Zhi, although the two did not fight to the death, but they could be regarded as showing their powers, and Yun Zhongzi consciously understood Li Zhi's strength.

Previously, he only saw the "Yin-Yang Mirror" and the "Bagua Purple Silk Immortal Clothes", and thought that Li Zhi really took it from Yin Hong, but now that he saw the "Absolute Immortal Sword" and the "Killing Immortal Sword", Yun Zhongzi was completely enlightened.

Although Yun Zhongzi is also a person in the teaching, he has always had his own standards for judging right and wrong, and even in the entire teaching, he is also a maverick existence.

I have been with Li Zhi for more than half a year, and I am quite appreciative of Li Zhi's character and cultivation, so I naturally believe that Li Zhi is not a person who maliciously takes and robs.

"Emperor Tang, these two 'acquired spirit treasures, although the poor Dao can also transform them, but they may not be comparable to the original in terms of power."

"From the point of view of the poor road, the Tang Emperor doesn't need to do this, the so-called treasures have no owner, and those who are destined in the world can get them."

"Although these two treasures were originally from the hands of the Yuqing Sage, but after so many years, they have already been distributed to the juniors, could it be that the Yuqing Sage will blame you for these two 'acquired spirit treasures'?"

In Yun Zhongzi's opinion, Li Zhi is completely thinking too much.

Whether it is the "Yin-Yang Mirror" or the "Bagua Purple Silk Immortal Clothes", although they are all treasures from the "Jade Void Palace", they are still lost from the hands of the disciples under the sect. qδ.net

In the future, even if it is recognized, there will be others who will come to the door to negotiate, where will it be the turn of the high-ranking Yuqing Sage to make a move?

Don't you see, the "Four Swords of Zhuxian Immortals" of the Shangqing Sage was lost in the "Ten Thousand Immortal Array", so many years have passed, didn't you come to the door to ask for it in person?

Could it be said that the Shangqing Sage could not know whose hands his "Four Swords of Zhuxian" had fallen into? Or is it that the Shangqing Sage can't take care of the four second-generation disciples under the Yuxu Sect?

This is also one of the calculations of the Yuqing Sage back then, if these four swords were held by the Yuqing Sage himself, he would not be able to be the Shangqing Sage of the third junior brother

I've been looking for it a long time ago.

If you really want to pick it up, don't look at the Yuqing Sage who is the second in line, and has a lot of "Innate Spirit Treasures", he is really not the opponent of the third Shangqing Sage.

However, the "Four Swords of Zhuxian" fell into the hands of the four juniors, and the Shangqing Sage was a little unable to erase his face, so that Li Zhi found the four swords for him in a convenient situation.

If the Yuqing Sage doesn't make a move, then at most, the second-generation disciples under the Yuxu Sect will come to the door, and you dare to snatch the "Absolute Immortal Sword" and the "Killing Immortal Sword", do you care about two more "Acquired Spiritual Treasures"?

Besides, with Li Zhi's cultivation and combat power today, even if the strongest of the second generation of disciples under the Yuxu Sect comes, I'm afraid he may not be able to bargain much, right?

"Haha, Dao Chief, you are really a person who wakes up in a dream, so let's keep these two 'Acquired Spirit Treasures', and if you have a suitable opportunity, it can be regarded as a good gift for a few children."

At this time, Li Zhi felt that the treasures in his hands were still too few.

Don't talk about others, just talk about his own two sons and a daughter, plus the three disciples who are passed down by himself, how can these two treasures be enough to score?

Now Li Zhi, he still doesn't know that in the distant Tuyuhun, he still has a little daughter who has never met.

......

"Lord, good news has come from the front again, Tubo is close to the north and west of Tuyuhun, and a vast territory has been occupied by our army, at this rate, it may not take more than half a year to get straight to the city of Luo—"

Another military report from Tubo was sent to Fuqi City by a fast horse, and after Di Renjie read it roughly, he habitually came to the palace.

"It's Huaiying, sit down first, this is the wine that was just sent from Chang'an, and it is said that it is brewed with a secret recipe given by His Majesty the Tang Emperor himself."

"Such a small jar of wine costs ten ingots of gold, and it is always priceless, and I don't know how his brain grows, and he can always think of such and such ways to make money."

This is a small jar of fruit wine, and it seems that there is a maximum of three catties.

The sealing mud had already been slapped open, and Di Renjie was in a hurry, and he didn't pay attention to this jar of wine, but now it smells, and there is really a sweet smell of wine.

"Hehe, Lord, be content, such a jar of wine, let alone ten ingots of gold, if you are willing to sell it in the best restaurant in the city, someone will be willing to give a hundred ingots of gold."

Di Renjie took a cup of fruit wine handed over by Wu Niangzi and took a sip solemnly, and sure enough, as he expected, this turned out to be a legendary "Zhenguan drunk".

Of course, the brewing of this "Zhenguan Drunk" is a peach, which is naturally not the one planted in the Heavenly Court Peach Garden, but the one that Sun Simiao cultivated in the "Lizheng Palace" back then.

Now that peach has been able to bloom and bear fruit normally, and when it comes to such an environment in the world, even the growth cycle of the peach has changed.

This is a peach that blooms for a thousand years, bears fruit for a thousand years, and ripens for another thousand years, but when it is planted in the "Lizheng Palace", it becomes a flowering in one year, fruiting in one year, and you can enjoy the ripe fruit in the third year.

Of course, although the peaches grown in the "Lizheng Palace" are also peaches, they are completely different from those in the Heavenly Court Peach Garden.

The peach with a three-year maturity cycle, eaten by ordinary people, can naturally not invade the poison and disease, and if it is eaten by the soldiers in the army, it can strengthen the muscles and bones and increase the strength.

In the cultivation, people eat it, and with the corresponding guidance technique, it is several times faster than the cultivation of breathing spiritual energy.

There's nothing too exaggerated, that's all.

Therefore, in the past ten years, the peach of the "Lizheng Palace" has also borne fruit five times, and in addition to the necessary people have the opportunity to taste it, they have been properly stored, and Li Zhi simply let people make fruit wine.

His father's always showy temperament, the naming right of this peach fruit wine is naturally in his hands, and it is still a non-innovative naming method - "Zhenguan drunk", all of which have a posture of "clever hand".

plum

Zhi didn't say anything, but made a small suggestion, every other month, you can sell a three-pound bottle of "Zhenguan Drunk" in the best restaurant in Chang'an City.

The price is neither low nor outrageous, and there are a few strange rules for selling ten ingots of gold.

First, those who have purchased it are not allowed to buy repeatedly, and if it is found that there is a bad operation, "Lijingmen" will speak.

Second, whoever buys must ask a complete stranger to drink a small glass on the spot, and this person must also be a person who has never drunk "Zhenguan drunk".

Third, the gold used by those who buy it must be a standard gold ingot cast by the "Datang Gold" in Chang'an City.

Four ,......

Nine rules were formulated, and even Li Shimin, who named the fruit wine, did not understand what he meant, but Li Zhi smiled and did not speak, and for a time it became an insoluble mystery for Chang'an City and even the entire Tang Dynasty.

There are not many people who have seen "Zhenguan drunk", and even fewer people have drunk it in person, but the nine "wine sales rules" issued by Li Zhi have already spread all over Nanzhan Buzhou.

Five or six years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the "Zhenguan Drunk" has been sold for twenty or thirty jars, and no one can understand the intention of the nine "wine sales rules".

Li Zhi will not reveal the mystery, in fact, he is just playing tricks, this "Zhenguan Wine" has no story, and second, it is not a real fairy wine, can't it make some gimmicks?

As soon as this "Zhenguan Liquor" was listed, it formed a craze for sharing wine in Chang'an City and Datang.

Good wine is limited, most people just taste it, where can it be like the current martial arts lady, a whole jar is placed on her desk.

Of course, even the altar of "Zhenguan Drunk" in front of her gave a cup to others on the day of sale.

Li Zhi's nine "rules for selling alcohol" really made the proud and intelligent martial arts lady think about it for several days, and after all, she couldn't get the point.

"Huaiying, do you say that in the past half a year, we have built such a large territory in Tibet, is it really meaningful?"

The lady of the martial arts family also drank a cup to the full, and suddenly felt refreshed, and stared at Di Renjie who was sitting on the side with two eyes.

"Is the Lord talking about the Tang Army of the Alliance? ......」

Half a year ago, Tuyuhun's mission to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty returned.

Of course, those who should come back have returned, and those who "shouldn't" come back naturally stayed in Datang.

For example, the former Princess Tuyuhun, Princess Honghua of the Tang Dynasty, such as those people arranged by the lady of the martial arts family to "serve" by Princess Honghua's side.

Ah Lai Guoshi came back, and there were many people when he went, and he went out for more than ten miles in a row, and when he came back, there were even more people.

In addition to the mission led by Alai Guoshi, there was also his generous policy of spreading Tuyuhun all the way, attracting hundreds of people from all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, the 5,000 forbidden army led by Xue Dingshan, the second apprentice of Tang Emperor Li Zhi, is the real leader.

And behind the 5,000 forbidden troops, they were followed one after another by a large number of Tang people, merchants, students, wandering monks, and even some rangers who did not do their jobs.

If you can look at it from the air, you can see the flow of people from all over the Tang Dynasty, or in twos and threes, or in groups, and there are people in the Tang Dynasty flowing towards Tuyuhun at all times.

In just half a year, the floating population data on the desk of Di Renjie, the prime minister of Tuyuhun, has skyrocketed by more than one million.

At that time, Chang'an City, known as the largest human capital in the entire Nanzhan Continent, had a population of just over one million, and the population that flocked to Tuyuhun in half a year was able to build a Chang'an City.

So, how many people were there in the original Tuyuhun?

Don't look at Tuyuhun as a country, it is still a country with a large territory, in the heyday of Tuyuhun's population, the total population of the whole region could not exceed one million.

Fortunately, this huge flow of people has been arriving in the inland for half a year, and Datang's household department is really powerful, and it is really responsible for the whole process of eating and drinking these people all the way.

For this reason, even after the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites discussed, more than 100 grassroots officials were specially transferred, and a huge amount of money was spent on each official

and recruited twenty officials from among the people for their call.

Of course, the military department was not willing to be lonely, and from the veterans who had retired one after another in previous years, two thousand people who moved freely were hired back to fill the ranks of the subordinates.

Datang's service is really intimate and in place, not only sending a large number of tourists to Tuyuhun, but also officially equipped with a huge security team of four or five thousand people.

Take Di Renjie's current management organization as an example, since the population in the region has suddenly doubled, the management personnel naturally have to increase, right?

"Fortunately", among the huge crowd of people who came to Tuyuhun, many of them had participated in the imperial examination in Datang, and some of them had even passed the Jinshi.

From the main towns of Fuqi City to Tuyuhun, more than half of the newly appointed officials are new from the Tang Dynasty.

Whether it is Di Renjie or the lady of the martial family, they all understand that there are great drawbacks to doing this, but do they have a choice?

"Hey, that Xue Dingshan, who usually looks weak and weak, doesn't even have anything to say, who would have thought that when he arrived on the battlefield, he would actually be a killing god!"

The lady of the martial family can't forget the scene when she first met Xue Dingshan, the young man is not very old, but his physique has grown, and he gave himself a big gift as soon as he met.

It's just a big salute, and he even shouted, "Master—"

Di Renjie and A Lai Guoshi were all present, and there were several respected old men in Tuyuhun.

That Xue Dingshan first claimed to be a disciple of the Tang Emperor, serving as the commander of the Tuyuhun army who came to support the Tuyuhun army this time, and then called the martial lady "Master".

Is this unclear that she is announcing her martial lady and her relationship with the lord of the Tang Dynasty to everyone?

However, Xue Dingshan has grown tall, but there is still a trace of childishness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and he is clearly still a half-old child.

A half-year-old child is calling herself so enthusiastically, she really takes the martial arts lady as an elder, how can she lose her temper?

Not only that, but the millions of people who poured into Tuyuhun, and all who could reach Fuqi City, would make a big salute outside the palace, saying, "Say hello to 'Concubine Xian' Niangniang-"

Even those who were not able to come to Fu Qi City were still singing praises to the benevolence of the Tang Dynasty's "Virtuous Concubine Niangniang" everywhere in Tuyuhun, and co-authored Li Zhi set the tone of this Tang Dynasty migration as a martial lady, that is, the "Virtuous Concubine Niangniang" of the Tang Dynasty is expanding its territory?

When the samurai lady received these news, it was too late to stop it.

The mouth of the people is more important than the Sichuan!

What's more, the population of Tuyuhun in its heyday was only one million, and the army was only in the early 100,000s, so it was more than one million Tang people who flocked to it.

What's more, now whether it is in Fu Qi City or in Tuyuhun, more than half of them are from the Tang Dynasty acting as officials, how do you let the martial arts lady go to defend the people?

In addition, in the battle against Tubo, Tuyuhun sent 50,000 troops, which was already the largest force that Tuyuhun could come up with under the premise of ensuring domestic stability.

And Xue Dingshan also led his 5,000 Tang Forbidden Army, set off with the army, and personally applied to be the vanguard of the whole army.

And before the 5,000 forbidden troops, there were more than 100 people from the "Lijing Gate" who walked at the forefront to open the way for Xue Dingshan.

In this way, what is the matter with the 50,000 troops of Tuyuhun?

Almost as soon as they walked, the cities in the north and west of Tibet were captured, and the larger tribes either chose to surrender or were killed in stubborn resistance.

Xue Dingshan seems to have been born to appear on the battlefield of such a fight, the Tai Sui helmet and the Heavenly King armor were given by Yang Chan, the "Three Holy Mother", and the Vermilion Bird robe and water cloud shoes were brought by Ao Ling from the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.

The treasure carving bow and the cloud-piercing arrow were the first time Xue Rengui went to the battlefield for his son, so he directly took charge of it, and simply gave his usual bow and arrow to his son.

And the dragon horse under Xue Dingshan's crotch was given by the martial lady, how can it be said that people are also here to help her Tuyuhun, a "master" for a good horse, not too much, right?

It's just that the weapon in his hand is a little worse,

But it is also the best craftsman in Chang'an City, the Fang Tian painting halberd, not a treasure, but a "heavy" word.

Li Zhi, who is a genuine master, failed to give this apprentice any treasures, no way, poor-

The vast territory in the north and west of Tubo was captured, and the 50,000 horses that came up from Tuyuhun became a garrison, and there was nowhere to leave two or three thousand men and horses, and it seemed that it was not enough.

At this time, the military report that reached Fu Qi City was slowly divided into two contents, one was where Xue Dingshan had taken again, and the other was to request reinforcements.

Yes, they have been winning battles, but they have to ask for reinforcements, because the territory occupied is too large, and there are not many troops left to garrison.

Besides, Tuyuhun is completely bordered by Tibet, and the ambition of the martial lady is very great, she does not plan to leave with one vote, but to completely occupy and rule the whole of Tibet permanently.

The problem is that now the territory has been conquered, although almost all of it is the credit of Xue Dingshan and the Tang Army led by him, it has been defeated after all, right?

There are not enough garrisons, so what about the local officials who will be responsible for governance in the future?

"Lord, the progress of the Tubo battlefield is too fast, if you can give Weichen twenty years, even if it is ten years, it will not be ......."

The problem is obviously there, but unfortunately, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

"Huaiying, look at this sentence in the military report, this should have been written by that kid from Xue Dingshan, right? Hmph—"

After reading the military report several times, it was another big victory, but it was a little more tragic than the previous ones, and it can be regarded as a "miserable victory".

The Tang Forbidden Army paid more than 1,800 casualties, and even the "Lijingmen" led by Bai Zhen lost more than a dozen.

In a place called "Karnang" in the Subi tribe, the Tang army encountered a large army sent by the Tibetans from the city of Luoqi, with more than 20,000 horsemen.

Of course, if it was just more than 20,000 cavalry, Xue Dingshan's 5,000 Tang Forbidden Army, plus more than 100 "Lijing Gate" led by Bai Zhen, would naturally not suffer heavy losses.

The problem is that among the more than 20,000 cavalry, there is actually a "monk soldier" of about 500 people.

It is said that it is a "monk soldier", in fact, it is not a Buddhism like Lingshan in the West, at best, it can only be regarded as a branch of Buddhism, combined with the local customs and folk culture of Tibet, and gradually evolved into the "Yongzhong Sect".

And this time the one who led the army was Lu Dongzan, the first wise man in Tubo, who had the cultivation of the later stage of the "Taiyi Xuan Immortal", and he was on a par with Bai Zhen.

And the five hundred monks and soldiers, who served as Lu Dongzan's guards, were almost all people who had stepped into cultivation, and the two strongest lieutenants also had the realm of "Golden Immortal".

In this way, the Tang army was caught off guard, if it weren't for Bai Zhen's ruthlessness and Xue Dingshan's bravery, I'm afraid the Tang army's casualties would be even greater.

Lu Dongzan left more than 7,000 corpses behind and led the army to retreat, whether to stay where he was or to return home, for the time being, it has not yet been determined.

Xue Dingshan is really asking for help.

Of course, he didn't ask for help from the master and wife of Fu Qicheng, but wanted to ask for help from Chang'an through the master of the martial arts, and asked for another 5,000 forbidden troops to come over.

"Lord, although what Xue Dingshan said was a bit abrupt, however, Weichen felt that he was also helpless, a sergeant of Tuyuhun...... It's still a little worse in the end."

"He can ask you for help, I'm afraid he also sent a letter to Chang'an at the same time, it seems that Chang'an will not send troops, and how many reinforcements will be sent, it is not up to you and me to control."

Di Renjie could only smile bitterly, he is a wise man today, erudite, wise and well-cultivated, but unfortunately, he is not able to understand the military formation.

"Maybe Senior Brother Ah Lai has been secretly training those 500 people for a few years, although there is still a little worse in terms of heat, and it's time to send them to the battlefield to fight."

Di Renjie said, how can the martial arts lady not know?

In the past six months, she has found that many things are slowly deviating from the track she conceived in advance.

When the local elders of Tuyuhun saw her, they had a respectful attitude, but they were not offended, but they would never be enthusiastic.

From large

Those officials from Tang Lai were very respectful to her one by one, although they were the same as Di Renjie, they were also calling "Lord", but the ladies of the martial family always felt that what they were talking about in their hearts was still "Virtuous Concubine Niangniang"?

"Lord, even if there are 500 elites of the Alai National Division, then who will lead the troops?"

The commander who led 50,000 Tuyuhun troops to Tubo was a respected general of the original Tuyuhun, but after the martial lady took control of the Tuyuhun regime, he was the first person to surrender.

This person's family has been in Tuyuhun for several generations, and the roots are completely rooted in Tuyuhun, such a person is in command, you don't have to worry that he will take the opportunity to make trouble, after all, the entire family is in Fuqiu City.

However, such a person can only be a general defending the city at best, and if he really lets it out to expand the territory, it is really in vain.

Fortunately, this time Li Zhi sent Xue Dingshan, a young tiger, over, otherwise the 50,000 Tuyuhun army would inevitably fall into the quagmire of Tubo.

"Hehe, this matter is also a coincidence, yesterday the palace just received a letter talisman, and in a few days, a little junior sister of the Buddhist sect in the palace will come to Fu Qi City."

"This woman is a female disciple of Our Lady of Lishan, she has been practicing on the mountain with Our Lady since she was a child, and her roots and talents are even better, and she has reached the 'Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm' at a young age, and she is even more proficient in attacking and killing battle arrays."

"If this little junior sister comes, the palace will hand over the five hundred elites to her, and at the same time go to the army of Tubo to transfer more than 10,000 elites, and let the little junior sister lead it, hum......

The lady of the martial arts family seems to have "fed up" Xue Dingshan's military reports, and is full of infinite reverie for the little junior sister she has never met.....
