The western border of Henan County, the eastern capital is put to the west, and Shaanxi County.
The day after Wu Xin was crowned king, he left Xidu on the grounds that Jiangdu was in critical condition and he had to take office as soon as possible. This was a very good reason. The court did not make things difficult, and many people even breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Wu Xin and his 20,000 Xin military guards, 100,000 Luo Wu troops, and 100,000 Jurong elite soldiers had left the Western Capital for more than ten days and arrived in Shaanxi County. They would arrive in the Eastern Capital about tomorrow or the day after.
The Sui Empire had a vast territory with numerous mountains and rivers, and it was too slow to travel by land. In addition, Wu Xinfang originally took a dragon boat borrowed from the Eastern Capital to go to the Western Capital, and now he turned back and took the Grand Canal route, which was fast and stable.
, and was able to take advantage of the situation to pick up Li Shimin and Jurong soldiers who stayed in the Eastern Capital.
On this day, the sun rose three poles.
"Lord! According to our speed, it will probably take more than a month to return to Jiangdu."
Wu Xinzheng was discussing with Mr. Mingji, Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and others the situation in the world and the strategy of Jiangdu. Mr. Mingji suddenly interrupted with worry.
"Um?!"
Everyone looked at Mr. Mingji in confusion. They had already predicted this before setting off. Why did Mr. Mingji suddenly emphasize it again? It seemed that something big had happened.
Mr. Mingji did not show off and explained directly: "I suddenly have a very bad feeling. It's best for us to return to Jiangdu as soon as possible to avoid getting stuck in a quagmire and unable to extricate ourselves!"
"Bad feeling?"
Everyone was confused, but since Mr. Mingji was good at predicting good and bad luck, it was difficult to refute or accuse him.
"Whoosh..."
Before anyone could think about it, a strong wind blew up, and a great monk shot straight at the flagship of the dragon ship where Wu Xin was, like lightning.
The afterimage lingered, and it turned out to be the ancestor of Tianmei.
As soon as he fell, Patriarch Tianmei ignored the courtesy and anxiously reported: "King Wu! Something bad has happened, Li Tang has raised an army!"
"What?!"
Wu Xin, Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and other people present couldn't help but exclaimed, but their thoughts were different.
What shocked Wu Xin the most was that Li Tang raised his troops so quickly, many years earlier than he had known in his previous life.
The world is different, time may not matter.
Most importantly, the situation is different.
Nowadays, the Great Sui Empire has not yet completely decayed, and it is not the time when all the kings have risen together. Yang Xuangan has just suppressed his army, and the Great Sui Empire is at its peak. It is still extremely powerful and cannot be easily shaken.
As for the others, they were shocked by Tang Guogong's revolt.
Although Li Tang was not a wealthy family and could only be regarded as a noble family, he was a relative of the emperor and had just made great achievements in suppressing the Xuangan rebels. How could he suddenly rebel?
However, everyone quickly thought of the recent "prophecy incident" and the rumors that the Holy Emperor Yang Guang wanted to deal with Li Tang, and it seemed that it was not so difficult to accept. After all, Li Tang had no choice, he could not afford the army, he could only wait to die, or
Bet that Yang Guang will not destroy the Li Tang clan. The chance of the latter being the latter is very slim. It is estimated that no matter who comes forward, it will not work, and no matter what means he uses, it will not work.
"King Wu! This is the order written by the palace lord. The palace lord knew that the matter was urgent, so he asked me to come and report at full speed to avoid delaying the important matter. Fortunately, I caught up with King Wu!"
Everyone reacted, as if Patriarch Tianmei had expected it, he consciously took out a roll of brocade silk, handed it to Wu Xin and said, as proof.
Wu Xin quickly calmed down, took the brocade silk, and asked smoothly: "Where should we raise the army?"
According to the memory of the previous life, Li Tang raised troops in Taiyuan and then captured Chang'an. Later, he used Chang'an, the western capital, as his base, and then competed in the world, and finally unified the world and created the prosperous Tang Dynasty. However, now that the sage Yang Guanggang has returned to the western capital Chang'an, the army of the western capital has
Didn't suffer much damage.
If Li Tang still raised troops in Taiyuan, he would be asking for death, and it would be impossible to capture the Western Capital.
"Dongdu!" Ancestor Tianmei responded quickly.
"Dongdu?!"
Wu Xin, who was about to spread out the brocade silk, froze and stared at the ancestor of Tianmei in disbelief.
"hiss……"
There was a sound of gasping for air from some of the troops present. The prosperity, prosperity, majesty, and strategic location of Dongdu are naturally understood best by those who have personally experienced the battle of Dongdu.
Now, Li Tang was able to raise troops in the eastern capital. The matter was serious, definitely much more serious than Yang Xuangan's uprising!
This is directly occupying a heavenly capital. You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat!
With Li Tang's lineup full of heroes, it is not difficult to occupy the eastern capital and dominate the area.
"While waiting for the reward from the imperial court, the Duke of Tang incited the former Eastern Capital to enshrine him. With the help of the heroes of the Eastern Capital, he imprisoned and controlled the Yue King Yang Tong, the Minister of Household Affairs Fan Zigai and others, and quickly took control of the palace city and subsequently the Eastern Capital army.
Overnight, the eastern capital changed drastically, and the capital of heaven changed hands!"
Ancestor Tianmei quickly explained that this was one of the main reasons why he came in person.
It is difficult to describe the specific situation simply by transmitting information, and writing too much will waste time. It is better to let the fastest ancestor Tianmei come in person and explain it personally.
"Is this okay? Those worshipers and heroes would actually obey the orders of Tang Guogong?" Ancestor Xiankong couldn't help but asked in confusion. I really couldn't imagine that Tang Guogong Li Yuan had such charm!
"Hey... Feng Yun is just an object in the pond. When encountering the storm, it transforms into a dragon! Li Tang was able to capture the Eastern Capital, and with the help of so many strong men, great monks, talents, forces, etc., the situation was complete and the Great Sui Dynasty was in danger!
"
Mr. Mingji, however, let out a long sigh and murmured in a hushed tone. He paused, laughed at himself and continued: "So... this is where my bad premonition came from!"
Everyone was silent, thinking back to Dongdu's lineup when they resisted Xuangan's rebellion. It would be a bit scary if Li Tang really completely controlled them!
At the same time, everyone just understood what Patriarch Tianmei said before... luckily they arrived.
If Wu Xinfang knew nothing about it and just entered the Eastern Capital, he would be put under house arrest at best, or thrown into a trap at worst. A life-and-death battle would be inevitable, and Wu Xinfang would definitely be in danger.
Looking back, Wu Xinfang would not have been able to return to Jiangdu via the Grand Canal without passing through Dongdu.
what to do?!
If we take the land route, we won't be able to return to Jiangdu within a few months. Who knows what Jiangdu will look like by then? What will the world look like?
Returning?
That's even worse. Wu Xin and others finally escaped, but they don't want to return to the quagmire of the Western Capital. In all likelihood, they will be sent by the imperial court to attack the Eastern Capital!
A dilemma!
As his mind was spinning, Wu Xin held back his composure and asked, "When did this happen? Does the imperial court know about it?"
Ancestor Tianmei was startled, and repeatedly assured: "King Wu Mingjian! The Eastern Capital changed hands, and no bloody turmoil broke out. It was like changing the day and night, and the gods and ghosts were unaware. It is estimated that most people in the Eastern Capital are still kept in the dark.
Guli. I’m coming at full speed, I believe the information hasn’t reached the Western Capital yet!”
"Hmm! In other words, Li Tang has not completely controlled the Eastern Capital yet, and the court may not know about it yet!" Wu Xin nodded in response, then frowned in thought.
Mr. Mingji's expression changed, and he blurted out in surprise and confusion: "Does the lord want to take the opportunity to enter the Eastern Capital and compete with Li Tang for the Eastern Capital?"
The Eastern Capital is indeed a foundation for eternity. Wu Xin had previously thought about taking the opportunity to occupy it. Later he gave up, but unexpectedly, Li Tang got an advantage! (To be continued ~^~.)
