Chapter 4: The Eight Veins of the Demon Gate

"Is it really impossible to control the time of day?" Li Yuan asked a little unwillingly.

What can be controlled is not terrible, and what cannot be controlled is terrible.

"The time of day is uncontrollable, but it can be guided on itself!" Li Jiancheng continued, "It seems that the Yellow River cannot be stopped from going east, but the course of the river can be modified. The time of day itself is the human heart. Emperors and heroes can control the world, but they may not be able to control people's hearts, they can only guide and restrain people's hearts. If you capture Chang'an, you will get a part of the heavenly time!"

"Part of the time?" Li Yuan asked, "What is the other part of the day?"

"The time of day itself is an illusion, and everyone is convinced of the illusion. The people of the world think that he is true, he is true, even if it is fake, it is true!" Li Jiancheng said, "Chang'an and Luoyang are the ancient capitals of the world, and most of the capitals of the past dynasties were in Chang'an, or Luoyang, so they gave the world an illusion that the capital of Luoyang, or the capital of Chang'an, has the capital to compete for the world, and the capital to win the world." As for whether Luoyang and Chang'an are the foundation of the king's hegemony, the world has ignored whether the forces occupying Luoyang and Chang'an are strong, whether they are besieged on all sides, and whether they will perish in an instant. ”

"Could it be that it must be in Chang'an, isn't Luoyang good?" Li Yuan asked with a frown.

"Not only is it not good, but it may not be dead, one is careless, and he is trapped to death!" Li Jiancheng began to say, "Luoyang, in the world, there are enemies on all sides, it is too difficult to gain a foothold, Luoyang is a big pit, whoever falls into it will be unlucky." Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Chang'an has a shortage of grain, and it is difficult to maintain it only by relying on the transportation in Shuzhong, and it is only by relying on the canal to transport grain, and also relying on the east of the river to get through the difficulties. Emperor Sui's move to Luoyang was Chang'an's food dilemma. If one day, most of Hedong has fallen, and Luoyang has cut off its food source, it will soon lead to famine!"

Li Yuan thought about it, and vaguely understood something.

Since this father-son relationship, Li Yuan has looked at him differently, obviously treating him as an heir. At the same time, he began to hand over some government affairs to him, which can be regarded as a kind of grinding!

Li Jiancheng had to sigh, this division era is really the era of mouth cannons, the mouth is so powerful, and it can fool people, and it is really valued.

At this time, some activities before the rebellion began to be carried out secretly, some envoys to the Turks, testing the meaning of the Turkic Khan; there were also Li Liang and others who bewitched Longyou to rebel, and a large number of fine works went to Guanzhong, and the younger sister Li Xiuning also left Taiyuan

............

On this day, Li Yuan found Li Jiancheng again and said: "Xiuning and Chai Shao have gone to Guanzhong, and Shimin has also gone to the Turks to fight for the opportunity to go south, and Longyou Li Liang and others have also rebelled." At this time, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!"

"Still the east wind?" Li Jiancheng thought for a long time, but he still couldn't think of what he missed, and couldn't help asking: "Father, what is the east wind?"

"This time, you have to go south, go to Dongming's wife Shan Meixian, buy weapons, and go to Pegasus Ranch to buy war horses from Shang Xiuxun!" Li Yuan thought about it and said.

"Buying weapons, it seems that the equipment in the arsenal is enough for 100,000 troops, and there is no need to buy more, and near Taiyuan, there are also pastures, enough to train 5,000 cavalry. No matter how many war horses there are, they are useless!" Li Jiancheng said.

has been in contact with more official business, and Li Jiancheng is very familiar with some things.

Tai was originally a frontier, with a large number of weapons, war horses, and food reserves, enough to arm an army of 100,000 for three years. A lot of things, you have yourself, there is no need to buy them.

"Da Lang, a few days ago, you were talking about the world's major affairs, and you were right, but you were negligent a little, you neglected the Demon Gate, and the influence of Cihang Jingzhai!" Li Yuan said, "If you want to fight for the world, you must at least get the support of one of them." Otherwise, the struggle for the world will inevitably be bumpy, and even fail!"

"Shhh

Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and somewhat understood what the east wind was.

Suddenly, I understood what I had forgotten.

This world is the end of the Sui Dynasty, all kinds of power struggles, battlefield battles are indispensable, but this is also a world of Chinese martial arts, and personal force affects the world's disputes.

In the low-martial arts world, most of the heroes are forbidden by martial arts, and most of the martial artists are doing the right thing for the heavens, eliminating violence and peace, and they must always be vigilant against the pursuit of the government. Zhang Wuji is powerful, but he can't withstand the onslaught of thousands of troops and horses; Guo Jing is powerful, but he can't withstand the Mongolian iron cavalry rushing and killing.

But in the martial arts world, most of the warriors interfere with the change of dynasties, interfere with the throne to become stronger, and control the artifact of Sheji, and thousands of troops and horses can't besiege them, provoke them, and assassinate the king. Chuan Ying, in the midst of thousands of troops, killed the Mongolian prince Sifeihan, and Shi Zhixuan was even afraid of the emperor and tolerated it.

In the low-martial arts world, the imperial power is supreme, the warrior offends the imperial power, and a wanted warrant can only be incognito and hide everywhere;

In the world of Zhongwu, the imperial power may not be supreme, and the emperor dares to issue a wanted warrant today, and tomorrow he may "die without a problem".

The world is different, and the rules of the game are different. I don't understand the rules of the game, and I don't know how to die in the end.

Li Yuan continued: "Taiyuan has no shortage of weapons or war horses, but we want to use this to test the attitude of the Demon Gate. Shan Meixian, the head of the Dongming faction, is the daughter of Zhu Yuyan, the queen of the yin, and Pegasus Ranch, and Lu Miaozi's territory, Lu Miaozi is a ...... in the Demon Gate."

Then, Li Yuan began to tell some secrets of Momen East Island, saying that it was a secret story, but in fact, everyone knew it, and it was just tacit.

Li Jiancheng finally understood what the Demon Gate was.

The Demon Sect is a collective name for some sects, consisting of the Yin Sect, the Flower Sect, the Evil Pole Dao, the Heavenly Lotus Sect, the True Preaching Dao, the Extinguishing Affection Dao, the Demon Dao, etc., two factions and six Dao. After the Western Han Dynasty "deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", the hundreds of schools of thought that were suppressed by Confucian orthodoxy began to be organically combined, with Taoist thought as the backbone, and the strengths of ink, medicine, witchcraft, and magic were formed to form a magic gate.

The Demon Gate is mostly cynical, intolerant of the world, deviates from the mainstream, and is called heresy.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a prodigy "Heavenly Demon" Cangxuan because of cynicism, arrogance and extremism, not allowed orthodoxy, so he searched all over the world classics, and the strange skills and secret techniques in them were removed from the chaff, and those who were combined with their own ways were processed and sorted out into ten volumes of "Heavenly Demon Strategy", which was the beginning of the Demon Gate.

Later, the Demon Gate split, and the ten volumes of "Heavenly Demon Strategy" were scattered in the hands of two factions and six daos.

In "Heavenly Demon Strategy", "Heavenly Demon Formula" and "Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa" are the top works, which are the highest mental methods of the Demon Gate.

The Yin Sect holds the most essential part of the "Heavenly Demon Strategy" - the Heavenly Demon Dafa. Most of them are composed of women, including famous prostitutes, or some dancers, or some peerless talented women, who are essentially disadvantaged groups and influence the world with a disadvantaged attitude.

Mending Heaven Pavilion is mostly composed of assassins. As the so-called injustice of heaven, I will make up for it by killing.

The Evil Extreme Dao, known for the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa, is the most weird.

The Heavenly Lotus Sect is mainly a businessman and is good at collecting money.

True preaching, mainly Taoist priests, is just too treacherous.

Extinguishing the emotion, exterminating the normal lust of men and women, went to the extreme.

Demon Dao, the most unstance, often take refuge in foreign races.

The Huajian faction is the second generation of poor officials, or the second generation of nobles, but they did not inherit their parents' family business, but went to the road of deviance.

The Demon Gate is a hodgepodge, with a mixture of dragons and snakes, all kinds of people, and the common feature is that it is deviant and intolerable to the world.

The Demon Gate is a loose alliance that connects the two factions and six realms, and the only one who can connect them is the "Heavenly Demon Strategy", the same ancestor.

The so-called battle between Dao and Demon is more about fighting for the Sheji artifact.

Back then, the battle between Yang Yong and Yang Guang was a fight between the Demon Gate and Cihang Jingzhai, and today's battle is also a fight between the Demon Gate and Cihang Jingzhai.
