Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Three Li Shimin's Royal Drive to the West
Haotian returned to heaven and practiced with the Queen Mother and Our Lady of Yaochi, comprehending the great ways and increasing his cultivation.
At the same time, Haotian began to use the resources of heaven, and with the support of the Queen Mother, he vigorously trained his confidants.
The Queen Mother has a large number of flat peaches in her hands, which are one of the innate spiritual roots of the five elements. This is the top spiritual fruit for increasing cultivation.
Although it is said that the highest-grade flat peach ripens only once every nine thousand years, but since the Great Lich Tribulation, when Haotian became the Emperor of Heaven and Yaochi became the Queen Mother, Taozu gave the flat peach tree as a gift.
I have almost forgotten how many years have passed. The flat peaches are getting riper and riper. The Queen Mother has been picking them frequently. I don’t know how many flat peaches she has preserved to this day.
And Haotian has a lot of elixirs in his hands, and those are the elixirs refined by Taishang Laojun himself. He sends a few gourds every thousand years, and now there are a lot of them.
To Haotian, these elixirs are just some jelly beans. They don't have much effect other than eating them as snacks, but they are more than enough to train his subordinates.
Haotian has carefully selected a group of heavenly soldiers and generals who are loyal to him, as well as people he brought from other worlds, and they are also key training targets.
These people are practicing secretly in the small world opened by Haotian, and are always ready to follow Haotian to conquer the Three Realms.
At this time, Luo Xiao, the demon king of the lower realm, has begun to annex the Huaguo Mountain demon clan based on the original Aolai Kingdom, and continues to recruit other demon clans from Dongsheng Shenzhou.
As a result, Luo Xiao's Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom will inevitably conflict with the Immortal Cultivating Sect of Dongsheng Shenzhou. The fight for resources, territory, and talents will be very lively.
Fortunately, it was just someone with a cultivation level below Taiyi Jinxian. No real big shot came forward, so it was still a small fight.
The biggest commotion was caused by the Tang Empire in Nanzhan Continent.
Chang'an City, inside the imperial palace.
"My dear friends, are you old?"
Li Shimin asked such a question on the dragon throne in front of the civil and military officials of the court. This made the civil and military officials very puzzled as to what His Majesty meant.
"I, Old Cheng, am still young. My little son was just born yesterday."
Cheng Yaojin didn't think too much, grinned widely, and spoke first.
The other ministers were laughing, watching Li Shimin's reaction and not expressing their opinions casually.
"I am still young, and so are all of you, but my ambition has not been wiped out. My Tang Dynasty has become prosperous and powerful, and the northern Turks have also been defeated by our Tang Dynasty soldiers in recent years."
Li Shimin was filled with emotion, describing how difficult these years had been, but at least the Tang Dynasty had become stronger, but his words were a little confusing.
"Your Majesty, we, the people of the Tang Dynasty, have been bathed in His Majesty's grace. However, in this vast world, there are still many places that have not enjoyed His Majesty's grace."
Changsun Wuji looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and then secretly glanced at Li Shimin. He immediately understood His Majesty's thoughts and stood up immediately.
"In the four major continents of the human world, there are still many human beings who have been killed by other races and are living in dire straits. As the emperor of the human race, your majesty should save all human beings. I suggest that your majesty dispatch a large army to conquer the world and save the human race."
Changsun Wuji made an impassioned speech and encouraged the emperor to lead an army to conquer the world.
"I second my opinion. Many Western countries have not come to pay homage to the Holy Emperor for many years and do not respect the emperor. This is disobedient. According to ancient etiquette, your Majesty should send a large army to conquer it."
Fang Xuanling also understood and stood beside Changsun Wuji, also supporting the crusade against Buchen.
"I second the proposal~"
All the civil and military officials came out to support the emperor in sending troops to expand his territory, but each of them spoke with an awe-inspiring tone.
"Since all of you dear friends have this intention, then I will issue an edict."
Li Shimin nodded, complied with public opinion, and attacked the disloyal ministers.
"The civil and military officials listened to the order and ordered the Minister of War. Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, was the commander-in-chief of the left army. He commanded the 100,000 troops of the left and right guards as the central army. The military tactics were adapted to the Hami Kingdom."
"Order Li Ji, the Duke of Eagle Kingdom, to be the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army, and command an army of 100,000 Xiao Guards on the left and right as the Left Army, and together they will attack the Kingdom of Hami in Western Fan."
"Order Li Xiaogong, the Minister of Rites, the Prince of Hejian County, to be the Commander-in-Chief of the Middle Road. He will command the 100,000 troops of Weiwei on the left and right as the Right Army, and send troops to the Kingdom of Hami in Xifan."
"Gong Cheng Yaojin of the State of Lu was the vanguard, and he commanded Zuo Jinwu's 50,000-strong army as the vanguard."

"Xue Rengui is appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army, and Xue Dingshan is appointed as the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army."
"I will personally serve as the generalissimo. In seven days, I will take the oath to fight." Li Shimin stood up, impassioned, and pointed forward.
"promise!"
In addition, there were Yuchi Jingde, Qin Shubao, Hou Junji, Qu Tutong, Duan Zhixuan, Changsun Shunde, Liu Hongji, Duan Zhixuan, Hu Jingde, etc. as generals, assisting Li Jing, Li Ji, and Li Xiaogong in leading the troops.
There were famous officials in the court such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, etc. to ensure the logistics.
In addition, Xu Maogong followed Li Shimin as a military advisor and assisted in making plans. Prince Li Qian was in charge of Chang'an to supervise the country.
Li Shimin's prestige was too high, so even if the imperial commander personally conquered the country, the civil and military ministers did not object and supported him one after another.
In order to raise more grain and grass resources for the expedition, Li Shimin also issued national bonds.
The common people can contribute money to purchase national debts, and various sects can also purchase national debts. When the spoils of war are obtained, those who purchase national debts will be able to share the benefits.
As a result, the entire Tang Dynasty was in a state of excitement. Those with money and strength contributed their efforts, and all kinds of cultivation resources, immortal weapons, and spiritual stones poured into Chang'an.
In just seven days, the powerful army was assembled and supplies were sufficient.
"Soldiers, follow me to conquer the world, and let the suffering human race in the world return to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty. Follow my name to leave history, become famous, and enjoy glory and wealth."
"Go to war!"
Li Shimin personally led a million-strong army from Chang'an and marched westward in a mighty way.
Yuan Tiangang's bad guys have been sent out in advance to investigate the information.
The mounts of the million-strong army are not ordinary horses, but Pegasus horses.
There is a Royal Horse Prison in Haotian's heaven, and there are many Pegasus in the Royal Horse Prison. Naturally, Li Shimin has some Pegasus in his hands.
Those purebred Pegasus, crossed with some demon horses and ordinary horses, gave birth to some spiritual horses with Pegasus blood, which are very suitable for use as army mounts.
These spirit horses were very fast and had strong endurance, and soon the army arrived at Liangjie Mountain.
"Your Majesty, beyond the Liangjie Mountain is the territory of the Tatar Kingdom. The Wolf Lord of the Tatar Kingdom knows that your Majesty is personally conducting the expedition and has led an army of 500,000 to resist. Your Majesty is invited to observe the formation."
Xu Maogong, wearing Taoist robes, rode a Pegasus horse and came to Li Shimin's dragon horse to report.
"Let's go and have a look. If these wolf lords dare to resist, they will be killed on the spot. My army will crush their Tatar country."
Li Shimin was full of enthusiasm, pointed his riding whip, and urged the dragon and horse to come to the front of the two armies.
After passing Liangjie Mountain, there is a huge plain, now full of troops.
Li Shimin took a quick look and saw that there were at least 500,000 troops in the Tatar country opposite. The enemy's momentum was also very strong. Only the 300,000 troops were mounted on wolf beasts.
The leader of the enemy army, Lord Wolf, rides a five-foot-long three-headed demon wolf. This demon wolf is at least a golden immortal level demon.
