A group of Wagang elders left the meeting hall with doubts and inexplicable complex thoughts.
Wu Dong's words before had a big psychological impact on them.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty actually used the Goguryeo army to consume the power of the noble families.
At first, they didn't want to believe it...
However, Wu Dong's words were well founded and could not be questioned by them.
As for why the first expedition to Goguryeo failed, according to Wu Dong, Yang Guang got lost.
Never would I have thought that the master's strength was so exaggerated that he could directly capture Yang Guang under heavy protection.
It would be fine if he was an ordinary general of the Sui army, but it was Yang Guang who was held hostage.
It can be said that the defeat of Goguryeo was extremely useless.
Of course, this is just Wu Dong's side of the story. Whether this is the case depends on future development trends.
The leader, Zhai Rang, stopped Wu Dong and asked Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin to stay and talk.
Wagang at this time is not comparable to Wagang in its heyday.
Zhai Rang felt that the three young people in front of him were the ones he could rely on, especially Wu Dong, who could be said to be the mainstay of the Wagang Army.
The leaders next to him didn't know, but he still knew that Wu Dong's strength at this time was definitely No. 1 in Wagang. The rest of the leaders, including him, a big leader, might not be as powerful as Wu Dong.
Fortunately, looking at Wu Dong's appearance, he does not have the temperament to fight for power and gain, nor does he have any desire to be in the limelight, otherwise Zhai Rang would have considered abdicating his position in favor of someone worthy of his position.
This time, the news that Yang Guang failed to conquer Goguryeo was indeed a bit sudden.
Wu Dong's analysis also made Zhai Rang feel unsure. This was the main reason why he stopped the person and wanted to talk more deeply.
As for Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin, they are both the core members of Wagang, and there is no need to hide certain things from them.
"Brother Wu, since you think that Yang Guang has a bad relationship with the family, why did the family recruit another million-strong army without interfering with him?"
Zhai Rang expressed his doubts: "If Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo succeeds this time, all the prestige he lost before will be earned back!"
"What if Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo fails again this time?"
Wu Dongyu didn't stop until he was shocked, and said some words that made people stunned.
"What?"
"If at a critical moment, someone in the country launches a massive rebellion, will Yang Guang be able to expedition to Goguryeo with peace of mind?"
Wu Dong chuckled, but his tone was indescribably cold.
Having experienced the film and television world of the late Qing Dynasty and the baptism of modern society, this was what he disliked the most about the ancient feudal dynasty.
Family interests are placed above national interests, and even for family interests, the so-called national interests are not taken into consideration at all.
Yang Guang's failure in his second expedition to Goguryeo was the most typical example.
"No way!"
Zhai Rang didn't believe it, he shook his head and said: "Who could be so stupid and refuse to give Yang Guang face? Do you still want to live?"
"hehe……"
Wu Dong chuckled, glanced at Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin, and said coldly: "Now, how long has it been since the chaotic period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties?"
"The emperor's authority is not as great as everyone thinks!"
"To be blunt, I guess those aristocratic families just regard Yang Guang as their representative and don't have much fear at all!"
"What Emperor Wen can do, aristocratic families can also do!"
"There are many careerists among them. As long as they are provoked casually and agree to some conditions, it will break out at a critical moment. It is normal!"
"As for the possibility of causing heavy losses to millions of troops again!"
Speaking of this, Wu Dong's eyes were cold and his tone was cold: "Do they care?"
At this moment, the temperature of the meeting hall seemed to have dropped a lot.
No matter whether it was Zhai Rang, Xu Shiji or Shan Xiongxin, they couldn't help but have a cold war.
They didn't understand why Wu Dong reacted so abnormally?
The topic did not continue. Wu Dong seemed to be in a bad mood. He stood up and took the initiative to say goodbye and left, leaving Zhai Rang and others with a cold back.
"No matter what, once Yang Guang's second campaign against Goguryeo fails, his throne will be shaken and the world will be in turmoil!"
Xu Shiji said solemnly: "When the time comes, it will be a great opportunity for our Wagang to develop rapidly and become a hero!"
Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin's eyes lit up and they nodded in approval.
Because Yang Guang's first expedition to Goguryeo failed, and he again mobilized the national army and launched a major campaign, there was an uproar and the situation in the entire Central Plains changed subtly.
For a while, almost all the forces focused their attention on the front line of Youzhou. The battle power list incident, which had caused quite a fuss before, was completely overshadowed and made little noise.
This made Jing Nian Temple and Shaolin Temple secretly let out a sigh of relief, and they could finally relieve their tense nerves.
But at this moment, the guy who made the combat strength list got back on his feet again.
Rumors suddenly spread in the hinterland of the Central Plains, saying that although Yang Guang was defeated in Goguryeo, the entire Central Plains world was disgraced.
The majestic army of one million was defeated by a swordsman from Goguryeo.
At the end of the rumor, a heart-wrenching question was asked very directly: Is there no one left in the Central Plains world?
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Regardless of whether it was aristocratic family members or gangsters, they had only focused their firepower on Yang Guang before, labeling him a coward.
However, Fu Cailin, the powerful Goguryeo master who had great contributions to causing all this, deliberately avoided talking about it.
However, the guy who created the combat strength list did not save any face for them, and directly opened up the topic that they did not want to talk about.
The sentence "No one cares about the world in the Central Plains" is simply a slap in the face to Chi Luoluo.
This guy obviously felt that it was not exciting enough, so he spread rumors and asked the famous strong men in the Central Plains, including the Evil King Shi Zhixuan, the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan, and the Sanren Ning Daoqi, if they had gone to Goguryeo to defeat Fu Cailin's strength?
As soon as such rumors came out, the entire Central Plains world almost exploded.
Why, according to the guy who created the combat power list, the masters of Buddhism are not part of the Central Plains Jianghu, and Cihang Jingzhai is also excluded?
However, if you exclude the famous Buddhist masters and think about it carefully, it seems that there are indeed few people in the Central Plains world who can be called top experts.
Unfortunately, neither the Evil King, the Yin Queen, nor the Sanren responded to this rumor.
This situation makes many people who just watch the fun and don't take it too seriously feel it is quite a pity, and at the same time they feel inexplicably unhappy in their hearts.
Co-author, as a few of the gangsters in the Central Plains, do you really dare not take the initiative to provoke the powerful Goguryeo master Fu Cailin?
At this time, the Evil King Shi Zhixuan was beside Sui Emperor Yang Guang of Youzhou.
When he heard the rumors that were spreading in the world and the request to name him, his eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"Fu Cailin..."
Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan and a group of Yin Kui sect masters were actually staying in Yang Guang's palace as one of Yang Guang's protective forces.
"Do you know who this guy who spread the rumors is?"
Queen Yin's tone was a little unhappy. No one would be happy if they were asked to fight against the powerful master by name.
To be honest, she felt a little guilty if she had to confront Fu Cailin directly.
"Not sure!"
The elder of the Yinkui Sect beside him shook his head and said helplessly: "The guy who started the rumor is hiding very deep, and it will be difficult to find out for a while!"
"Besides, the situation over at Wagang is a bit special!"
"What's so special about it?"
"The manor near Wagang seems to be inaccessible to water. I don't know why, but it doesn't have much contact with the guy who spreads the rumors!"
"Find out the origin of that guy as soon as possible!"
Zhu Yuyan chuckled and said: "You are so good at causing trouble. If you can recruit them, you can at least give those Buddhists a headache!"
"really!"
The elder of the Yinkui sect laughed and said: "That guy seems to be quite prejudiced against Buddhism. The previous rumors have caused a lot of trouble for Buddhism!"
"It's just that I didn't expect that Buddhism is so powerful!"
"Who would have thought?"
Zhu Yuyan sneered and said: "Every big temple has at least one first-class master to guard it. There are so many big temples in the world!"
"Yes, even His Majesty is very concerned about this!"
The elder of the Yinkui Sect lowered his voice and chuckled: "Since that incident, Your Majesty has paid more attention to things in the world!"
"It just so happens that the matter of the previous combat power list has made a big fuss in the world!"
"It's normal for His Majesty to pay attention!"
After saying this, he paused and chuckled: "I just didn't expect that several extraordinary generals would emerge because of this!"
"Your Majesty intends to recruit that young general Pei Yuanqing to participate in this Goguryeo war and make him a pioneer general!"
"I didn't expect that those generals are so powerful!"
Zhu Yuyan pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Should we pay more attention to some famous generals and the families behind them?"
"It should!"
The elder of the Yinkui Sect echoed: "Especially, the body-refining methods possessed by these military generals' families are quite powerful!"
"If possible, getting a few prescriptions back will be of great help to the sect in cultivating talents!"
Not to mention the Evil King and the Yin Queen who are on the front lines of Youzhou, Sanren Ning Daoqi, who is the most powerful person in the Central Plains, has also been uneasy recently.
First, an envoy from the imperial court suddenly visited and took out Yang Guang's recruitment order, hoping that he could go to the Youzhou front line to serve and protect Yang Guang's personal safety.
Ning Daoqi refused without hesitation. Are you kidding me? How could he serve as Yang Guang's bodyguard and lose his reputation?
Originally, this was nothing. A strong master would naturally have the arrogance of a strong master.
However, a sudden rumor spread in the world that Ning Daoqi was living a very restless life.
A group of peers from the Taoist sect came to persuade him one after another, asking him to come forward and challenge Fu Cailin to show off the power of the strongest master in the Central Plains...
