Chapter 869: The Western Frontier (2)

Time has entered August, and Zhu Biaodong's days of hiding in Tibet are finally over.

The Tang King's troops and the Xia King Bu Ya entered the west corner. Tang Ying, the general manager of the Tang Palace, found Zhu Biao who was living under a cliff. "I wish you great majesty, Commander-in-Chief, and boost the momentum of our Tang camp. After hearing what I saw, I

The morale is surging and the blood is boiling."

"General Manager Tang, I have been looking forward to the stars and the moon, but finally you are here. The Qiang bandits have been chasing me like crazy these days. If you don't come again, I won't be able to survive." Zhu Biao came out of hiding.

, greeted Tang Ying with a big smile.

Tang Ying was followed by four innate masters, all of whom Zhu Biao recognized. For example, the white-browed and silver-haired Wen Renran, and the Yin Hun Zhenjun who was as thin as a bamboo pole.

"Zhu Shuai is joking. How can a mere Qiang bandit defeat you? There are only a few saints among the Qiang people, and three of them have already been defeated by Zhu Shuai, right? One of their arms was even removed!"

The corner of Zhu Biao's mouth curled up proudly. The Qiang people used the innate master to fight against him. He was really an ignorant country man who didn't know his past reputation. The second one was defeated, and the third one lost his arm. Only then did he seem to find out something.

News, I no longer dare to send just a small team of experts to hunt and kill me.

But there are only a few innate masters in a mere Qiang tribe? After two injuries and one disability, can they still have a foothold on the stage that is officially opening?

To put it bluntly, Zhu Biao's current 'war' with the Qiang people is actually equivalent to knocking the Qiang people out of the game and using his own efforts!

Autumn in August is the best time of the year, neither too cold nor too hot.

Zhu Biao was lying on the rocking chair, spitting out grape skins leisurely. Yes, leisurely, very leisurely. He just visited that place for three to five days without any trouble.

What he had thought before was that after the Tang Dynasty King Xia Wang's troops arrived, he would start slashing people with knives. But in fact, it was not the case at all.

At about the same time that Tang Wang Xia Wang's troops arrived at the Flame Mountain, a massive group of two thousand people from the imperial court also arrived at their destination. Zhu Biao once sneaked over to take a look, and his little heart jumped with fright.

At a glance, thirty people are only a lot more innate masters, which directly exceeds his psychological endurance bottom line. There are also countless 80+, 90+, and 100. The central government's background is definitely not that of the King of Tang or the King of Xia.

It can be compared to the feudal princes who have been kings for more than ten years.

Then Zhu Biao realized that there was a way to open the "knife" in the wheel, but the knives in the wheel were all lip service. The king of Tang, Xia Wang, was attached to Xixia and Xiliang; and the imperial court was attached to Qin, Quanrong; and the Tao Te Palace, Lei

The combination of Yin Temple and the three forces can be said to represent the three strongest forces in the world today——

The imperial court, the anti-king, and the Jianghu. The most basic share between each other was determined first. The rest is the battle between strength and the sweetness left to the other forces.

In this game, the King of Xia has the right to speak because he has the power of Xiliang and Xixia. The King of Tang has the right to speak because the King of Xia wants to use his power on the battlefield. Similarly, the court has the power of Qin.

, the influence of Quanrong, only the Daodegong and Leiyin Temple are because they have real strength. They have the power to send top masters to any place in the world to compete with others!

However, this is Xiyu after all. Xixia, Xiqin, Xiliang, Qiang, Quanrong, and hundreds of thousands of people from all five directions are patrolling the Flame Mountain. After all, this is not a place for masters to show off——

The Moral Palace and Leiyin Temple are indeed powerful, but they are no more powerful than hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. It is not feasible to rely solely on fists, otherwise the losses to each other will be too great. Therefore, the solution to the matter still depends on

Negotiation. A negotiation where every penny has to be weighed.

So I wish Biao is leisurely and relaxed now.

East, the east of heaven and earth.

Also in this August, the Allied Forces from the north, the Cang Navy, the Qilu Allied Forces from the east, and the water tribes outside the corner, with a force of 1.5 million, overran Goryeo, breaking its capital Jincheng, and taking hundreds of Goryeo royal family members and hundreds of ministers, a total of thousands.

People were killed under the city.

Goryeo is destroyed!

The Lieshui tribe got a big piece of the inheritance from the Goryeo Kingdom. Jin Wuke established the Lieshui Kingdom and became king, but he did not submit to the Qi State, let alone the Lu State. The King of Tang did not say a word about this.

All the forces in the east, who clearly understand the ins and outs of the Lieshui Tribe, have nothing to say except that they feel in their hearts that the Lieshui Tribe has lost its fortune and become the hegemon in just a few years.

Qi is still the top player in Dongyu, but it is no longer the overlord of Dongyu.

This challenge of the Koryo people actually won the war between Qi and Lu. The reason why they failed was actually because they lost to the world order with the Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plains as the axis.

Qi army camp.

Tian Sheng, the Duke of Zhenguo, looked at the letter with no money and no palm print in his hand, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face. "Hahaha, hahaha, the King of Tang agreed, the King of Tang agreed!"

His face glowed red and his chest was full of vitality. Tian Sheng suddenly became different from before. His humility faded away, and a domineering aura emerged from him.

"Come here, please give this letter to Mr. Zou, Governor Zhao, Governor Yan..."

Several letters were written in one go. Tian Sheng waved his hand proudly——

Five days later, the army returning to Qi State had already arrived at the northern border of Qi State. Replies to the previously sent letters had been forwarded one after another, and at the same time, Zou Run, a distinguished minister of Qi State and the former Crown Prince and Taifu, was also forwarded.

News of his death.

Tian Sheng's excellent mood was dealt a blow. After a while, he sighed with emotion and said: "Mr., who has made great contributions to the country, passed away at this time. I am deeply saddened. Go tell your wife and prepare a generous gift to send to the Prime Minister's residence."

!”

The person in front of Tian Sheng said seriously: "No, I will do it right away!"

"Slow down!" Tian Sheng seemed to have thought of something, patted the back of the chair with his hand, and said to this person: "Send the picture of the Four Gentlemen in my study. Mr. liked this picture the most during his lifetime, so he can be buried with it!

"

The man responded again and said goodbye and went out.

By the time Tian Sheng led the army back to Chaojun, fifty miles away from the capital of Qi, the originally average-sized Zhenguo Palace had been completely renovated, and a gorgeous and extravagant Guogong Palace had been built. As the royal family of the current King of Qi,

My uncle is also the most important minister of the Qi clan and the pillar of the country. Some flattery is always quick to follow.

What's more, this is also the intention of King Qi. The meaning of building a gorgeous and gorgeous mansion for his uncle is self-evident.

Tian Sheng formally received the generals in the army in the completed main hall of the Duke's Mansion. Amidst the sound of bells, cauldrons, pans, zithers and flutes, the generals paid their respects. It was like visiting a king's small court.

Tian Sheng looked around and saw many faces in robes. They were respectful, flattering, loyal, flattered, envious, and excited, with different colors. It was hard to tell how many people were loyal and how many had different intentions.

He is already old. King Tang also agreed. Although the foundation has been laid for the crown prince, he will be the one to do this evil thing!

Tian Sheng thought calmly, and met with the important generals in the army one by one. Afterwards, he held a big banquet, rewarded gold and silver silk ribbons, and celebrated his achievements with a banquet.

With the spring breeze on his face, Tian Sheng didn't seem to feel that he had overstepped his mark. He toasted repeatedly, and most of the important generals in the army also responded immediately. The atmosphere was always lively and noisy. People were falling, and gradually some cramped ones were joined.

Those who felt uncomfortable were let go.

If the King of Qi knew that he had allocated funds to Tian Sheng to build his mansion, and was ordered around like this by Tian Sheng, he would definitely be so angry that he would vomit blood and die.

After the banquet, they exited. After a while, seven generals were walking towards the backyard of the Duke's Mansion, led by the chamberlain.

When I arrived at the study, I saw an energetic Tian Sheng.

"The general will pay homage to the Duke!"

"A few generals have light cavalry." Tian Sheng said, and asked his followers to give these people a seat and serve tea.

"I wonder why the Duke summoned us?" a general asked in confusion.

Tian Sheng said calmly: "I have summoned all the generals. There is indeed something I want to leave to you to handle."

As he spoke, he gave the person next to him a look.

After understanding the situation, he handed a list to the general sitting in the first place.

"This is..." The general took one look and was shocked.

"Let's take a look at it one by one. This is the list that was just sent to me." Tian Sheng said.

When several generals heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Their hearts sank. They looked at each other, but they were all overjoyed.

At this time, another chamberlain came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Zhao Shuming and Yan Shun would like to see you."

"Let them come in." Tian Sheng said calmly.

The people in the room were even more frightened. Zhao and Yan were clearly the weights used by the king to contain the Duke of Zhen. Why... did they also 'surrender'?

Counting them, basically the entire military power of Qi is in the palm of your hand! Now, big things can really happen.

Thinking of this, the seven people's hearts became clear.

Zhao and Yan entered the room and immediately paid their respects to Tian Sheng.

"You two governors, there is no need to be polite, please come quickly." Tian Sheng said hurriedly.

The two generals also saw the other people in the room clearly at this time, their faces were solemn. Although they had made up their minds, they were still uneasy in their hearts.

"You two should sit down first. After reading the list for a while, I will mention the matter again." He waved his hand to let them sit down. Tian Sheng suppressed the joy in his heart and spoke more calmly.

"Yes, lord!" After hearing Tian Sheng's words, the two of them immediately found a seat and sat down.

Tian Sheng sat on it and saw that everyone had read the list, and then he spoke again: "The current king is immoral. He killed his brother and imprisoned his father. The thousand-year glory of our Qi Dynasty has been wiped out. We were even captured by the Goryeo Tartars."

We lost the city and territory, and lost the face of our ancestors."

"I have decided to send troops to attack the violent king, eliminate the treacherous ministers and villains, establish a new king, and clean up the government. Do you think this can be done?"

"The last general is willing to listen to my lord's orders. Get rid of the ruthless king, get rid of the traitorous ministers, establish a new king, clean up the government, and revitalize the Qi Dynasty."

"Haha, good, good, good. You are all the pillars of my great Qi and the pillars of the imperial court."

Stroking the beard on his chin, Tian Sheng is sure of victory.

At this time, he no longer kept secrets, and ordered the Qi King's trusted generals, the Forbidden Army Commander Zhao Shuming, and the general Zhang Mao: "Zhang Mao, you lead 50,000 troops and march to the general capital overnight. Zhao Governor, order your subordinates to cooperate."

Zhang Mao took down the city defense and first captured Generals Zhang and Liu and ransacked their homes, making sure not to let them escape."

"The general will get the order!"

"The general will get the order!"

"Here is a list. After taking control of the whole city, the people on it will be locked up and their homes confiscated one by one..."

"promise!"

In the quiet night, groups of soldiers quietly entered Zibo, the capital of Qi State.

The city gate is even more heavily guarded.

One after another, courtiers were snatched out of the door with their clothes scattered, and the frightened cries of family members could be heard in the courtyard.

The common people who did not know the inside story were awakened by this kind of movement, but no one dared to go out to watch. Some things had been heard, and the common people were involved in it. There was life and death. These are extraordinary times, and curiosity can kill people. A little bit of discomfort can kill people.

Shen will not only lose his own life, but also harm his family.

Only a handful of people dared to look outside through the cracks in the door, and so they saw the men and women who were being ransacked and pushed towards the prison.

This scene is really familiar to the people in Zibo City. When King Qi launched the coup, the whole city was purged. Isn't it the same situation?

There are also those who resist among the ministers. To deal with this kind of situation, the army has been ordered to kill them without mercy.

Entering the capital, cleaning was the first thing Tian Sheng had to do. He had to completely break up his position, leaving no room for any more. Of course, he had to eradicate all suspicious courtiers and threats.

For a moment, the city of Zibo was ablaze with swords, heads rolling, and blood flowing like rivers.

Inside the palace, the palaces are endlessly luxurious and magnificent. Qi State is a thousand-year-old dynasty with rich heritage. Needless to say, a few rays of moonlight penetrated the main hall!

"What happened? Why is the lonely king suddenly so restless?" The current King of Qi walked back and forth in the palace.

Under the light, the young King Qi was actually very handsome, tall and elegant, and elegant, but his face was pale and blue, and he was obviously too drunk.

King Qi couldn't sleep, really couldn't sleep. He only felt this upset feeling when something big happened. Now it's here. This makes King Qi feel at ease.

But after thinking about it over and over again, he really couldn't think of a place where something big was going to happen.

Feeling waves of uneasiness in his heart, King Qi became annoyed and bored. He couldn't stay any longer and walked out of the palace.

"Your Majesty!" A guard leader standing outside the palace bowed and saluted.

"The palace is stuffy. There is a hole in the palace for the lonely king." King Qi pointed at the sleeping hall behind him and shouted. "Now the lonely king is not in a good mood. He wants to go for a walk in the imperial garden. Show off, show off..."

King Qi's tone became increasingly irritable. He had never been a patient person. Before the coup, he was just pretending.

Naturally, the leader of the guards did not dare to disobey.

The sky was dark in the middle of the night, but the stars and crescent moon were extremely bright.

King Qi did not have the leisure and grace to look up at the stars and moon in the sky, and then sighed: "How beautiful and how sad!"

Instead, he casually drew out the guard's sword and slashed at a bush of flowers and trees to vent his uneasiness.

However, King Qi was a man whose body had been hollowed out. After cutting for a while and venting his anger, the sword fell to the ground and he was out of breath. While he was resting in a pavilion, someone ran over quickly from a distance, shouting: "Your Majesty."

, Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo wants to see you, he has already arrived at the palace!"

As soon as he heard these words, King Qi's originally restless heart suddenly became furious. He entered the palace late at night without his own orders, and even broke into his own back palace. Did he want to die? He thought it was his uncle who had made great contributions.

, don’t you dare to kill him?

He was about to rush away angrily, but was stopped by the leader of the guards beside him. "Your Majesty, think twice, something fishy happened during Duke Zhen's trip. It smells... not right..."

During the coup a few years ago, it was this guard leader who broke into the late King of Qi's bedroom. Isn't this... such a case?

King Qi was instantly alert and recalled his uneasiness tonight. "Come here, summon the guards and the forbidden army. Quickly send people to investigate outside the palace to see if there are any changes in the city..."

His heart shrank instinctively, King Qi stopped and raised his brows deeply...

In mid-August, the state of Qi was in chaos again. Tian Sheng, the governor of the state, launched an army remonstrance and the army entered the city, but failed to capture the King of Qi in one fell swoop. The King of Qi escaped from the tunnel and went straight to the Forbidden Army camp, although his confidant, the Forbidden Army Commander Zhao Shuming, betrayed him.

, but Zhang Mao and Zhao Shuming did not dare to immediately carry out a large-scale purge of the Forbidden Army in order to stabilize the Zibo Forbidden Army. The Forbidden Army was still full of soldiers loyal to the King of Qi. The King of Qi raised his arms and summoned most of the troops to fight with them.

Zhang Mao's army entered the city and fought fiercely all night, but failed to defeat the enemy. He immediately led his troops south and called on the soldiers and horses of all states and counties to be diligent.

In August of the sixth year of Yuanwu, the war that had just ended began again. It was the second civil war in Qi State in eight years, and the second coup in Qi State in eight years!

"Waste, waste!" In Beijing, Ji Fa looked at the urgent message from Dong Yu and cursed Tian Sheng for being incompetent. He created such good conditions for him and helped him control the 300,000 northward army.

He used his own banner to win over Zhao Shuming and Yan Shun, and the commander of the imperial army acted as an internal response, but he let the King of Qi escape. Is there a more useless person in the world than this?

If I could have penetrated the Northern Han Dynasty as deeply as Qi State, would the person living in the Northern Han Palace still be the same person now? "Waste, waste——"

"Tell Tian Sheng to deal with the King of Qi within a month. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning your back on him and denying him -" Tang Wang Jifa was so focused on the west border that he really had no intention of caring about Qi deeply.

changes in the country.

"Tell him to be smart about what should be leaked out and what should not be leaked out, and be clear in his mind."

The king of Tang Dynasty was not even in the mood to write a letter to Tian Sheng himself. He dictated it and asked his followers to write it for him.

Xiqiao, Xiliang military camp.

Zhu Biao, who had been wandering leisurely for seven or eight days, was invited by Tang Ying to the Chinese army's tent.

"So, the three parties have discussed it?"

"It's been discussed."

"How to divide it?"

"The imperial court will occupy 20%, our family and the King of Xia will each occupy 10%, and Daode Palace and Leiyin Temple will occupy 10% together. The remaining half will be divided into ten parts, and they will compete with each other, and the winner will get the treasure!"

"On that day, Jingming could still occupy a share. This is a quarter of the mine, which is enough to make a divine sword."

Zhu Biao looked at Tang Ying. According to Tang Ying, the Taibaijin Essence discovered this time in the Flame Mountain is not very valuable in the Xidi Silver Mine. [This is of course certain. If there were more Taibaijin Essence, it would not be so precious

】Based on the proportion of Taibaijin Essence produced from silver mines, it is estimated that Taibaijin Essence can be obtained at about a hundred kilograms. But with such a weight, five to six divine swords can be made. The imperial court obtained a quarter, which means at least one divine sword.

The sword is enough.
