525 Internal disintegration
In the third year of Tongguang, Li Cunqiao issued an edict in June to buy war horses, and sent troops to attack Shu in September.
Without the support of Buddhism, the strength of the army was far weaker than that of the Tang army, and the Shu State responded passively to the war. The Tang army took several important towns one after another, but did not meet with too strong resistance.
In this way, the Tang army drove straight in, and the war went very smoothly.
The war was unfavorable, Wang Yan was very anxious, and when he saw that the army was about to come to the city, he personally led an army of 50,000 to Lizhou, and ordered 30,000 foot cavalry to meet the Tang army in Sanquan.
But it's a pity that the Tang army has a general Li Cunxiao, and the Flying Tiger Army is unstoppable, and the Shu army can't resist it at all. After a great battle, Wang Yan was defeated and fled back to Chengdu.
The Tang army was even more powerful, and everywhere it went next could be described as invincible, and the officers and soldiers defending the city either fled in the wind or surrendered the city directly.
In November, the Tang army invaded Chengdu, and Wang Yan surrendered.
So far, the Shu Kingdom has passed on two masters, which lasted eighteen years and perished.
This time, the Tang army attacked Shu in just over 70 days, except for the battle of Sanquan, and almost did not encounter any decent resistance.
For a time, the Tang Dynasty became more powerful, and the feudal towns and countries were more submissive. Moreover, he captured Shu and obtained a large amount of materials, which greatly expanded the armament of the Tang Dynasty.
This attack on Shu not only did not cause any damage, but for the Tang Dynasty, it was like eating a big tonic pill.
Next, the army will return to the DPRK, take a short rest, and prepare to attack Wu!
"You can't live if you do your own evil!"
On the eve of the fall of the Shu Kingdom, Manjushri took the Shu seal first. At this time, Wang Yan was escorted to Luoyang, but Li Cunqiao killed him directly on the road with a secret order. Manjushri stood in the air and could see clearly, and couldn't help but sneer at the corners of his mouth.
Wang Jian established the Shu State, which originally had a vast territory and strong national strength, but was finally completely destroyed in the hands of Wang Yan, a faint monarch. It doesn't matter if Wang Yan dies, he wastes eighteen years of Buddhist effort in vain, even the Bodhisattva is angry.
Now that it's over, let's leave it alone. Manjushri carried the seal of Shu but did not leave, and continued to stay in Shu to find the next master.
"Too fast......"
The whole country of Wu was preparing for war intensely, and when they learned the news of the demise of the Shu Kingdom, they couldn't help frowning. The speed of the destruction of the Shu State was too fast, which greatly shortened the preparation time of the Wu State, and it was really a bit passive.
At this time, in the depths of Nanjing Wu Palace, in a side hall.
"How's it going?"
"Quack, everything is in order!"
Xu Xuan and the ugly slave met here, and when they got the answer from the ugly slave, Xu Xuan's face was still serious, and his heart was difficult to put down. Although what needs to be done has been done, no one can predict what the specific outcome will be.
"The master's strategy has not failed, senior brother rest assured, this matter will definitely be successful!"
Seeing Xu Xuan's worried face, the ugly slave smiled and was relieved, and at the same time looked confident.
"Yes!"
Xu Xuan nodded, and his eyes also revealed a firmness.
The Xinjiao sect was secretly acting here, and the Taoist sect was even more excited, and they didn't expect the Shu Kingdom to take it so quickly. In this way, you can attack the state of Wu immediately!
Just when the situation was becoming more and more tense and Taoism was holding back its strength to clean up the new teaching, a major event suddenly happened. Huang Fuhui, a general of the Tang Dynasty, rebelled in Yedu.
"Dare to defy the world's condemnation!"
After getting the news, Li Cunqiao was furious. At this time, the Shu Kingdom had just been conquered, and it was the time when the Tang Dynasty was at its strongest, where could there be a little sand.
Li Cunmiao immediately issued an order and ordered Li Siyuan to lead a large army to the crusade. Li Siyuan is Li Keyong's son, that is, Li Cunxuan's younger brother. Brave and good at fighting, repeatedly made military exploits, at this time the official residence Chengde Festival envoy, the head of the horse infantry army inside and outside the Han Dynasty, and the book order.
In Li Cunxuan's view, although Huang Fuhui has some talents, he is definitely not Li Siyuan's opponent.
"Your Majesty! It's a big deal, Li Siyuan has rebelled!"
But Li Cunqiao never expected that a few days later, he suddenly came to report quickly. As soon as Li Siyuan arrived in Weicheng, his subordinates mutinied and united with the rebels! Moreover, what was even more infuriating was that the rebels actually supported Li Siyuan as emperor!
Li Siyuan led the rebel army and was turning around and rushing to Luoyang! At this time, the Shu State had just been conquered, and the army was still on the way back, and Li Cunxiao and the Flying Tiger Army were not in Luoyang.
There was no one available for a while, and Li Cunqiao mobilized the only army and had to personally lead the army to meet the battle. But unfortunately it was too late, and when he arrived, the rebels had already entered Bianliang.
With limited troops and no city to rely on, Li Cunqiao hurriedly fled when he saw this. As the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, Li Cunqiao had just returned, and Luoyang commanded Guo Congqian from Ma Zhi to lead his troops to mutiny!
For a time, Li Cunmiao had nowhere to go, so he had no choice but to fight fiercely with the Luoyang rebels.
"It's a fight! It's finally a fight!"
Wu has been paying close attention here, and when he got the news of the mutiny in the Tang Dynasty, Xu Xuan's face was full of excitement, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, the heart said, the master really calculated the Three Realms.
Before Mi Xiaoxia left, he left a document, which wrote about the situation in the next hundred years, as well as the strategy of the new teaching. But in troubled times, Mi Xiaoxia couldn't expect everything, such as the crisis in Wu this time, Mi Xiaoxia didn't mention it.
But there is one point, Mi Xiaoxia listed a large number of characters in the document, as well as possible actions. These characters belong to various forces, and Mi Xiaoxia's document says that if they can't be broken head-on, they will collapse from within!
At this time, in the face of the threat of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Xuan thought about how to start from within the Tang Dynasty. Look through the list listed by Mi Xiaoxia, find out some of them, and then let the ugly slave and others secretly contact.
First of all, he bewitched the Tang general Huang Fuhui in order to make him rebel. At the same time, the new education arranged people to be around Shi Jingjiao, An Chongzhu, and Huo Yanwei. Shi Jingjiao is Li Siyuan's son-in-law, and An Chongzhi and Huo Yanwei are both Li Siyuan's henchmen.
Li Siyuan was ordered to quell the rebellion, and the new sect again bewitched Shi Jingjiao and others, so that they could persuade Huang Fuhui to rebel!
At the same time, Xinjiao also bewitched many other generals of the Tang Dynasty, such as Guo Congqian in Luoyang.
Originally, it was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but I never expected that things would go so smoothly.
"It's worthy of the master. ”
Thinking about it at this time, Xu Xuan couldn't help but sigh again. For things to go so smoothly, the selection of people is the key. And the reason why he was able to choose these people was not exactly what Mi Xiaoxia had already listed?
Although Mi Xiaoxia is not there, he can accurately calculate the people and things in this troubled world, and Xu Xuan, as a big disciple, can't help but wonder, how vast is the master's magical powers?
"Dead! Li Cunqiao is dead!"
The Tang Dynasty was already in civil strife, and just as Xu Xuan, Chunniang and others were planning their next plan, the ugly slave suddenly came in in a hurry.
"Gaga! I just got the news that Li Cunmiao was hit by a stray arrow and died in the chaos!"
"Great!"
Hearing this, everyone was excited. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was replaced, as the so-called son of heaven and courtier, there must be some turmoil in the court.
In this way, it is not possible to take care of attacking Wu for the time being.
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. ”
Xu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
"With all this time, that thing can catch up. ”
Chunniang nodded and sneered at the corner of her mouth, although she only bought a few more years, she didn't really solve the problem. But this is only a few years, but it is extremely important to Wu Guo!
