As soon as he saw Mi Xiaoxia again, the Jade Emperor was very happy, and a big stone in his heart could be regarded as landing.

The two chatted for more than two hours, and no one knew what they were talking about. After coming out of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and leaving the heavenly court, Mi Xiaoxia went straight back to Qingqiu.

The small murder has begun, although it is only the beginning, and the killing is not obvious, but it is also extremely important. But at this time, Mi Xiaoxia has been staying in Qingqiu since he went to Heaven and has been closed.

Outsiders were puzzled, and there were many speculations for a while, and the mainstream theory was that although Mi Xiaoxia captured the Taoist people, he was also injured in the big battle and was recuperating from his injuries at this time.

In fact, Mi Xiaoxia was calm and relaxed, just waiting for an opportunity.

In the mortal world, the war continues.

The Tang Dynasty continued to increase its troops, trying to capture Jinling in one fell swoop, but there was no progress. Without the participation of Taoism and Xinjiao, it is said that the impact on the two armies is the same, but in fact, it is not.

The Taoist sect left, and at the same time took away the rainy ink Jiao. When the sky over Jinling is clear, the artillery can continue to be used.

Attacking a city is much more difficult than defending it, and Jinling is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack. At this time, with the help of artillery, the Tang army wanted to capture Jinling, which was almost a pipe dream.

Without Mo Jiao Buyu, you can only look at God's face. The Tang army was looking forward to the rain, and even the generals did not fight, and set up an altar to kneel on the ground to beg for rain, but for half a month, there was not even a trace of wind.

How did they know that although the new sect had withdrawn, they had already greeted Heavenly Court. Not to mention ten days and a half months, even a year, Jinling is afraid that it will not rain.

"Siege!"

If there is no rain, he will not dare to attack the city, this delay of half a month, Li Siyuan is not happy, and he has issued several holy decrees one after another. Tang Shuai had no choice but to command the army to attack forcibly.

Boom Boom Boom ......

In the deafening sound of artillery, for seven consecutive days, the Tang army attacked the city dozens of times, and all of them were bombarded back. Even the city walls were barely touched, and more than 100,000 troops had already been damaged.

"How is this a good ......?"

In the big tent of the Tang Army, the generals had bitter faces, as if they had died of their parents.

"Ask for help......"

There is no way, the current situation is not able to capture Jinling at all. Tang Shuai sighed, immediately drafted a recital, and asked the court for help.

"Artillery...... Artillery!"

The military situation was rushed to the Luoyang Palace overnight. Li Siyuan looked at the fold, and his brows twisted into a pimple.

This letter seems to be a plea for help, but it is actually a complaint, under the attack of artillery, it is good that they are not repulsed, where is there still strength to attack the city.

"It's better to siege ...... than to attack"

After reading the twists and turns, this meaning is revealed throughout the article. It is definitely not possible to storm strongly, it is better to besiege but not attack, turn Jinling into a lonely city, and slowly consume it.

In fact, where does Li Siyuan not understand this truth?

But his health is deteriorating, and he has a premonition that time is running out. Seeing that the world is about to be reunified in his hands, if he just lets it go, he is unwilling!

Whether to attack or besiege, Li Siyuan fell into a deep contradiction.

"Your Majesty! something is wrong, Meng Zhixiang has rebelled!"

Just as Li Siyuan was hesitating, an urgent report from Shu came out.

"What...... Poof!"

After getting this news, Li Siyuan's eyes widened, and he was in a hurry for a while, and immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Meng Zhixiang was Li Keyong's nephew, deeply used, after the Tang Dynasty conquered Shu, he was appointed as the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, and then even named the king of Shu.

But unexpectedly, Meng Zhixiang was still the opposite.

It is clear in the compromises that Meng Zhixiang has already sent troops to Dongchuan, and Dongchuan Dong Zhang is definitely not his opponent. And once Meng Zhixiang occupies Liangchuan, it will not be far from self-reliance.

"Decree and order the army of Wu to come back. ”

When he came back to his senses, Li Siyuan's breath weakened, and he immediately ordered someone to draw up a holy decree. The army attacking Jinling was withdrawn, and troops were dispatched to pacify the situation in Liangchuan.

"The Tang army has retreated!"

"Win!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

On the city of Jinling, watching the Tang Dynasty army retreat slowly, all the soldiers broke out into a shocking shout.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Tang Dynasty army has withdrawn, and it is time for us to regain the lost territory!"

Immediately afterwards, the city of Jinling made some plans and immediately decided to send troops to recover the Wu town captured by the Tang Dynasty.

With the withdrawal of the Tang Army as a signal, the counteroffensive of Wu officially began!

In this Tang-Wu war, in fact, the consumption of Wu was not large, because it did not fight hard with the Tang army from beginning to end. So by this time, there was still almost complete strength.

At this time, the main force of the Tang army had withdrawn, how could some scattered guards stop the army of Wu?

Next, Wu conquered the lost territory, which can be described as a success, and the Tang army fled. In less than a month, Wu recovered all the towns that the Tang army had captured in two or three years!

Not only that, taking advantage of the weakening of the Tang Dynasty's forces at this time, the Wu army continued to step forward and expand the borders of the Wu State outward!

"Your Majesty, this is an excerpt from all over the world to ask for help......"

Late at night, in the Luoyang Palace, the eunuchs brought a large stack of them, which were as tall as one person, and they were all left behind to ask for help.

Li Siyuan was wearing clothes, coughing violently, and his face was pale and terrifying under the palace lamp. Liangchuan and Wu State, the Tang Dynasty took care of one and the other. And most importantly, in the previous two years of attacking Wu, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty was already empty.

It costs money to fight a war, let alone fight on two fronts. At this time, there were also signs of instability in the vassal states of various feudal towns. Li Siyuan was already very ill, but he had to insist on handling political affairs.

But in this way, Li Siyuan's health is getting worse and worse, and he is not far from the limit.

"Almost. ”

The war in the mortal world was chaotic, and in the Qingqiu, Mi Xiaoxia chuckled at the corner of his mouth, and left Qingqiu again, still going to Tushi Palace.

Since Mi Xiaoxia came back, he left Qingqiu twice, both times to go to Tushi Palace.

"The master of the rice sect is here, and there is a loss of welcome, and there is a loss of welcome. ”

The car is familiar with the road, and this time as soon as I arrived at the gate of the Tushi Palace, I saw Taishang Laojun come out. Unlike last time, Taishang Laojun greeted him in person this time.

It's only been a long time, and the attitude has changed so much. Mi Xiaoxia smiled, but did not speak, and followed Taishang Laojun straight to the main hall.

"What Sect Master Mi said last time, Lao Dao has already considered it, and it's not impossible. ”

This time it was straight to the point, Taishang Laojun smiled and continued.

"But in order to show sincerity, in addition to hoping that your sect will release my sect members. It is also hoped that the Mi Sect Master will give an order and order the Wu State to stop the war against the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Hehe, Lao Jun really knows how to do business. ”

Mi Xiaoxia smiled, drank tea but did not reply immediately.

Seeing that Mi Xiaoxia was not in a hurry, Taishang Laojun felt anxious in his heart.

The Tang Dynasty was supported by Taoism, and Taoism was bent on reuniting the world and establishing a dynasty honored by Taoism again. But in the current situation, the Tang Dynasty was under attack, and there were signs of turmoil in various places.

Li Siyuan is considered a generation of masters, but the situation is too bad, even he has no skills to return to the sky. If it continues like this, the Tang Dynasty will not talk about unifying the world, and it is likely that the building will collapse in an instant!

After all, the vassal states of the feudal towns everywhere were all grass on the wall, and once they saw that the Tang Dynasty was weak, they were likely to rebel immediately.

So at this time, as one of the main enemies, the attitude of Wu Guo is extremely important!

As we all know, Wu Guo is completely under the control of the New Sect, and at this time, Mi Xiaoxia, the leader of the New Sect, is still leisurely drinking tea.
