Others present showed disbelief on their faces, and some were dumbfounded.
I had long heard that Duke Wu was arrogant, domineering, and cruel. Last night's banquet was fine, and I thought the rumors were wrong.
This time, I learned a lot!
In the face of a formidable enemy, do you still dare to take action against the first-rate force Zixia Temple?
I wanted to think about it, but no one protested, criticized or stopped me. Even Tang Guogong, Li Jiancheng and others hesitated to speak.
Firstly, Duke Wu's position is high and powerful, and he is fierce and powerful; secondly, what Duke Wu said makes sense. In the face of a powerful enemy, it is really not appropriate to fight internally.
Wu Guogong was left behind in the eastern capital. If he was suspected, how could he command the Sui army and command the heroes? Master Zixia was obviously killed to scare the monkeys!
Minister Fan Zigai, Minister of Civil Affairs, Yang Wang and other ministers looked outside the city as if they had not heard anything.
"Several fellow Taoists, I've offended you!"
Ancestor Xiankong greeted him very politely. The expressions of everyone in Zixia's audience changed greatly, but they did not dare to resist in the end. Their pulses were cut off and their acupoints were quickly sealed, and their cultivation was restricted.
Master Zixia's expression was quite ugly, she glared at Wu Xin stubbornly and snorted: "If you want to accuse me, there is no reason to hesitate! Does Mr. Wu Guogong think that by doing this, he will be able to distance himself from the relationship with the Demon Sect, so no one will doubt him?"
"Master Tai also knows that he wants to accuse me, so why bother? The imperial court dares to trust me and specially sent two father-in-laws to protect me. Can you slander me? Is Zixia Temple more powerful than the imperial court? Master Tai is better than the Holy Lord
Return to the Holy Ming?" Wu Xin looked at Master Zixia up and down and shook his head in disdain.
Master Zixia was too speechless, feeling regretful but not wanting to bow her head, so she tactfully said: "I made a mistake, poor nun, there's no need to make such a fuss, right?!"
"Amitabha! Master Zixia's words are indeed inappropriate, but he is just obsessed with grief. Mr. Wu Guogong has a lot of people, so it is better to spare her this time and let Master Zixia lead Zixia Monastery to redeem her sins, so as not to damage the strength of the powerful enemy!
"
Zen Master Honkyu of White Horse Temple proclaimed the Buddha's name, and Baoxiang said solemnly. His tone was calm, which made people agree.
"That's right! Master Zixia made a mistake for a moment, and Duke Wu forgives her greatly. How about asking Master Zixia to take the blame and make meritorious service?" Li Yuan quickly agreed, and he apologized and begged for mercy.
"Let them both go!"
Wu Xin thought for a while, pointed at the two young disciples of Zixia Temple and said. After a pause, he looked at Li Yuan, Master Zixia and others, and said solemnly:
"I have always made a distinction between public and private affairs, and I am not killing innocent people indiscriminately. It's just that the military has military regulations, rewards for meritorious service, and punishment for delinquency. This guild will carefully consider the matter of Zixia Temple. As long as Zixia Temple does not make any mistakes,
, I will put it in after a few days of review, so you don’t need to worry or say anything.”
After finishing his words, he signaled to Ancestor Zengkong and ordered him to take away the three masters Zixia, Qingxia and Caixia. Then he looked at the two young disciples of Zixia Temple and said:
"You can report the situation to the Observer in all its details and re-send the person in charge. However, if you deliberately cause a big impact, shake the morale of the military and the people, and affect major events in the Eastern Capital, this guild will punish you for several crimes!"
"Yes! Please Lord Wu, please be kind to your master, Baiyun and Zixia Temple disciples, and express your great gratitude!"
Wearing a robe as white as snow, Bai Yun, Zixia's direct disciple who looked pure and refined, did not lose his composure and panic, and rather calmly saluted and begged.
"Don't worry! There are so many senior masters watching. How can I do anything wrong? As long as Master Zixia has a correct attitude and a clear mind, I will not treat you badly!"
Wu Xin responded solemnly as a matter of course, and sighed: "Gui Guan has no enmity with me. Maybe we will form a good relationship with me because of this war. This disaster should not have happened, so why bother? Since Gui Guan is a Qing cultivator,
Earth, you should not get involved with hypocritical people like Chunyang Palace, act as servants of eagles and dogs, and become enemies of me for no reason. It is not a wise move!"
After a pause, he looked around at everyone and sighed meaningfully: "It seems that what happened in Wuyang was not thorough enough to warn the world!"
threaten!
**Naked threat!
Everyone present was silent and thoughtful.
Wu Yang's storm shocked the world, and was the most powerful "atrocity" committed by Duke Wu. How could he not know this as one of the people?
Although the Wuyang Che Clan, the Iron Blood Sect and other forces were accused of rebelling by Wu Guogong, the evidence was conclusive. Everyone knew it tacitly, mainly because of the relationship between the Taiyuan Wang Clan, Wuyang Buddhas, Chunyang Palace and other forces.
And destroy the whole family!
"Huh!" Master Zixia thought deeply, bit her lip and snorted coldly.
Bai Yun, however, was elegant and refined. He saluted and responded without any unusual expression: "The noble man's golden words should be remembered by the poor nun, and he will tell the truth to the inside of the temple."
This character alone made Wu Xin look at him with admiration. He was either a coldhearted person or a calm and wise person, and Baiyun was obviously the latter.
Wu Xin waved his hand, and Ancestor Zengkong led a dozen silver-armored guards and left with the three sisters Zixia.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Duke of Wu will have three more refining gods to worship, or the Xinwu Guards will have three more golden-armored military guards.
The two true disciples of Zixia Temple discussed it and left Feng Yun behind, while Bai Yun quickly left and returned to Zixia Temple to report the situation.
Wu Xin walked to the top of the wall, looked down at the wall, and looked ahead...
Looking down, hundreds of feet high, with Wu Xin's amazing eyesight, he couldn't see the ground clearly even if he couldn't focus his eyes, and he felt a little dizzy.
At such a high distance, the God Refining Ancestor would have narrowly escaped death if he fell, and his Qi and Body Refining would basically be dead.
Looking from a distance, the rebels camped twenty or thirty miles outside the city. The camp was more than a hundred miles horizontally and dozens of miles vertical. The iron-blooded evil spirit hung in the sky like dark clouds, which was shocking and powerful.
Gong Ju looked carefully and saw that the tide of soldiers was pouring into the vast military camp, making the iron-blooded cloud thicker and thicker.
Wu Xin turned his head and asked General Cai Yan, the captain of Fengjun (from the fifth rank) and Sima of the Eastern Capital (from the fifth rank), and asked: "How is the situation?"
"Sir, sir! This is the army of the rebel leader Yang Xuangan, with a size of about 3.5 million. It is the main force of the rebel army. It is expected that the entire army will be in place early tomorrow morning." General Cai Yan reported truthfully.
"What else?" Wu Xin nodded and asked.
General Cai Yan was startled and responded: "The rebels outside the city should mainly attack the east city of Luoyang. There is also the famous general Han Shi'e, who has gathered about one million rebels. They will arrive in the north city of Luoyang as soon as tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Add to that
Li Min's navy, which is resting on the mother river of the army, will face more than two million rebels in the northern city of Luoyang."
Wu Xin nodded slightly, and General Cai Yan reported again:
"In addition, the famous general Li Zixiong has gathered more than two million troops, and will blockade the south and threaten the southern city of Luoyang, as soon as tomorrow, or as slowly as three days; there are also famous generals Yuan Wuben, Zhao Huaiyi and other rebels. They have gathered more than one million rebel troops,
We will arrive at the west city of Luoyang in three to five days."
"Yeah! What else?" Wu Xin responded.
"What else?" Cai Yan was stunned, not knowing what to say.
Wu Xin did not blame or ask questions, but looked at Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, Fan Zigai and others.
Fan Zigai consciously said: "Now we have 1.2 million regular troops. 1.5 million reserve troops are still being recruited at full strength, and the number is increasing from 100,000 to 300,000 every day. Maintain the stability of Luoyang and patrol
To get it in place, at least 400,000 troops are needed."
"Too few! Continue to recruit troops with all your strength!" Wu Xin nodded and ordered. He looked at Li Yuan.
"Cough, cough..." Li Yuan was about to speak out, but he coughed violently, making it difficult to speak out at all.
Li Jiancheng comforted his father and reported on behalf of Li Yuan:
"Sir, sir! Now we have invited 167 God Refining Ancestors, 27,654 Qi Refining Powerhouses, and 58,633 Body Refining Warriors.
They have gathered in the military camp and are on standby at any time! In addition, there will be approximately three more God Refining Ancestors, one thousand Qi Refining Powerhouses, and three thousand Body Refining Warriors every day!"
Such accurate data is familiar to me. I am worthy of being a genius.
"Well done! Not bad! But..."
Wu Xin praised without hesitation, then looked around at the representatives of the forces present, frowned and said solemnly: "Too few! There are so many god-refining ancestors and qi-refining powerhouses among the forces present alone, why only so few?"
"This..." Li Jiancheng showed hesitation and a wry smile.
This is already a very strong lineup, are you still not satisfied?
The person being recruited is a chivalrous person, not a soldier. How many do you want?
With the vastness and prosperity of Luoyang, the eastern capital, the actual number may be increased five to six times, or even dozens of times. However, this is a war, casualties are inevitable, and not many forces are willing to risk their lives. The Sui Empire is not that popular.
In the minds of most forces: Even if the eastern capital Luoyang falls, there will definitely be an impact. However, except for the forces loyal to the Sui Empire, most of the forces in the city will not be injured or face annihilation. It is estimated that Yang Xuangan does not dare to go too far!
"With just recruiting so many people, how can we compete with the rebels? Exclude the demon sect. Even the barbarians invited by the rebels can't be stopped!"
Wu Xin frowned and sighed in a deep voice, then looked at the crowd and continued: "According to reliable information, the anti-thief Xuangan has invited most of the barbarians in Henan County and contacted more than 300 barbarian tribes to come out. Eight people are expected to gather in Dongdu this time.
There are more than a million rebels, and about one-sixth are barbarians. Even if each tribe only produces one high priest or great warrior, that is more than 300 people. How can we resist it? Don’t forget, fellow practitioners are of the same realm.
Our tribe is basically inferior to the barbarians, do we still want to fight two, three, or four against each other?"
"..."
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.
What Wu Xin said is indeed an extremely realistic and important issue.
Looking at everyone's reactions, Wu Xin probably guessed what they were thinking, and couldn't help but shook his head and reminded:
"Tell all the forces not to take chances! Luoyang, the eastern capital, is a stronghold of the ancient barbarians. The reason why the anti-thief Xuangan was able to mobilize so many barbarians was because he promised to give the territory of the eastern capital to various barbarian tribes. How did he get the territory? Of course.
Come from various forces. By then, will there still be a place for various forces to gain a foothold in Dongdu? Whether they can be withdrawn is a question!"
Fan Zigai interjected and added: "I believe that as someone present, I know the nature of the barbarians and demons quite well! If the Eastern Capital falls, let alone reconciliation, the rebels may massacre the city. Since the anti-thief Xuangan has attracted so many
The barbarians may not be suppressed, nor can they be suppressed!"
"Massacre the city?" the Zizhu Gang protector exclaimed in disbelief.
The others looked quite heavy, but also had obvious disbelief.
Where is Luoyang, the capital of the East? It has a population of over 100 million, and there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Even if Xuangan's rebels had the courage to do so, they wouldn't even have the ability.
The Minister of Civil Affairs is obviously alarmist and trying to scare people!
"It's really unbelievable. With Edom's status and size, it's impossible for this kind of thing to happen!"
Fan Zigai responded with a self-deprecating smile, paused, his face darkened, and then solemnly continued:
"According to intelligence, since the barbarian army joined the rebel army, every time the rebel army attacked a city, it would cause a bloody storm. The latest intelligence is that the rebel army just massacred Yiyang City! This is despite the rebel army trying its best to suppress it. If the battle of Dongdu
, both sides are furious, will the barbarian army go crazy?"
