The Eastern Jin Dynasty was located due east of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
When their envoys came to Chang'an City in the northwest corner of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, they were bound to cross the entire northern part of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Of course, they could also go further north and bypass the territory of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
However, further north was the Northern Qi Dynasty, which had always had good relations with the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, even if the envoys of the Eastern Jin Dynasty traveled to the Northern Qi Dynasty, they could not make it public and had to keep a low profile all the way.
In order to avoid the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty realized that in this case, it was definitely not possible to send a formal envoy with a guard of honor.
At most, it was a few experts close to the King of Jin who flew over thousands of rivers and mountains to avoid being seen or heard, and arrived near Chang'an.
After receiving Mr. Wu Yun's order, Hu Yingjie immediately returned to Yunzhong County.
There, Hu Yinghua, the head of the Hu family, had already invited the guests from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to stay.
After listening to his seventh brother's report, Hu Yinghua nodded slightly: "Since Mr. Wu Yun said so, we will just do as he was told."
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Yuan, the king of Zhaowu County who was responsible for the secret mission to Chang'an, was notified by the Hu brothers and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Accompanied by Hu Yingjie, he immediately traveled from Yunzhong County to Longbei to officially visit Chang'an City.
Seeing the triple outer city of Chang'an City surrounded by Longling Mountains, Sima Yuan, like everyone else, was shocked and speechless for a long time.
No wonder Hong Xiao from the Ninth Realm fell into trouble...he thought to himself.
After following Hu Yingjie all the way to Tianshu Hall, Sima Yuan gathered his mood and entered the main hall.
In the central hall, an old man in black sat quietly drinking tea.
When Sima Yuan saw this, he knew that the other party must be the legendary Mr. Wu Yun.
This old man is not the real owner of Chang'an City.
But if you want to visit the Lord of Chang'an City, you first have to pass the old man in black.
The other party is in charge of the daily affairs of Chang'an City. To a certain extent, he can almost equal half the city lord.
"Sima Yuan of the Great Jin Dynasty, I have admired Mr. Wuyun's name for a long time."
The prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty followed the etiquette of martial arts warriors and first gave Mr. Wu Yun a fist.
Mr. Wu Yun put down the tea cup and nodded slightly: "Why do you come all the way?"
"I am on a mission to visit Chang'an on the order of my king. I hope to express the king's goodwill to the lord of Chang'an City. We will join hands with the East and West to punish the barbaric and unscrupulous Li Xuanxin of the Eastern Tang Dynasty." Sima Yuan said solemnly.
Mr. Wu Yun, projected by Zhang Dongyun, had a very indifferent tone: "Chang'an can destroy the Eastern Tang Dynasty without joining forces."
His determined tone and harsh words made Sima Yuan's breath suffocate slightly.
Mr. Wu Yun said in a casual tone: "It's just that my Majesty is generous and lazy to deal with worldly affairs, so he gave Dong Tang a few days of leisure."
Sima Yuan said: "Your city lord has great supernatural powers and is transcendent, which is really admirable."
He turned to say: "Sir, you are confident enough to destroy the Eastern Tang Dynasty. This dynasty admires you. However, Li Xuanxin's actions are contrary to the laws of heaven. This dynasty has always wanted to send troops to fight against rebellion. If Chang'an wants to raise troops, this dynasty is willing to respond."
"This is your business." Mr. Wuyun said indifferently.
Sima Yuan continued: "Military-wise, Chang'an does not need the cooperation of this DPRK, but I believe that in other aspects, we can have more communication and exchanges."
Mr. Wu Yun said calmly: "For example?"
"For example, various business dealings." Sima Yuan said.
Zhang Dongyun smiled secretly upon hearing this.
Between Chang'an and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty, and even the Northern Qi Dynasty.
The detour heading south is too far.
There is no trade route between the two and transportation is inconvenient. How can there be any business exchanges?
The meaning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is clearly that two families occupied the northern area of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and opened up a brand new trade route.
"It's no problem if your caravan can come over." Mr. Wu Yun said.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou Quan." Sima Yuan smiled slightly.
Just reach a tacit understanding with the other party.
It doesn't matter even if Chang'an doesn't send a single soldier.
Their existence can attract most of Dongtang's attention.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty can safely march westward. By then, it will not only open up the road, but also occupy a large area of land in the northern part of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
The Eastern Tang Dynasty was concerned about the existence of Chang'an, so it would be difficult to fight back vigorously.
Sima Yuan was satisfied and left Chang'an.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun smiled slightly.
It was also difficult for the emperors and ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
In recent years, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has been bullied miserably by the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
The achievements of the Eastern Tang Dynasty that allowed the Tang king to offer sacrifices to the Imperial Ancestral Temple by opening up new territories were basically all taken from the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Half a year ago, the king of Tang attacked Jin again and won again.
If it hadn't been for the chaos caused by Chang'an City inside, the Tang king would not have withdrawn his troops so early, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty would not have been able to regain the lost territory.
Now they finally have a chance to take revenge while Dong Tang is being distracted by Chang'an.
Things are changing, and it's time for the Eastern Jin Dynasty to cause trouble for the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Dongyun doesn't care about this.
Anyway, as long as Invincible City can continue to expand like this, no matter Tang or Jin, sooner or later everyone will have the surname Zhang...
The Eastern Jin Dynasty is very fast
Before Sima Yuan could go back, he sent the news back first.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty also understood the importance of surprise and speed.
As soon as they received the news, the army rushed into the northern border of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
The Eastern Tang Dynasty was caught off guard, and several counties in the north quickly changed hands.
This is not only the territory of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, but also the inherent sphere of influence of White Horse Academy.
But now, just in time for the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the White Horse Academy was empty, so the Eastern Jin army was overwhelming.
After the Eastern Tang Dynasty came to their senses, they quickly counterattacked.
However, as the emperors and ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty expected, the counterattack of the Eastern Tang Dynasty was limited.
As expected, most of their attention was still focused on the northwest.
Therefore, the Eastern Tang Dynasty was unable to regain the lost territory in the north, and the two sides fell into a brief stalemate.
This was naturally a heavy blow to the Eastern Tang Dynasty's rule in several northern counties.
Such an action made Dong Tang furious and also attracted the attention of several other dynasties.
However, the focus of everyone's attention is why the Eastern Jin Dynasty chose to invade the northern part of the Eastern Tang Dynasty?
After all, it borders Northern Qi.
The Northern Qi Dynasty and the Eastern Tang Dynasty had always had close exchanges.
The reason why the Eastern Jin Dynasty was always suppressed by the Eastern Tang Dynasty was largely because they also faced the threat of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
The two sides, one from the south and the other from the north, oppressed the Eastern Jin Dynasty, leaving the Eastern Jin Dynasty weak on the left and right.
Now the Eastern Jin Dynasty is attacking the northern lands of the Eastern Tang Dynasty. If the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Eastern Tang Dynasty attack the Jin army from both sides, what will they do?
The Eastern Jin Dynasty could not waste this rare opportunity to counterattack.
There is only one reason for attacking the northern route of the Eastern Tang Dynasty instead of the eastern or southern route.
They united with Chang'an.
If you look at it from this perspective, it means that the two sides have broken through the Eastern Tang Dynasty and even cut off the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Although Chang'an City seemed to stop advancing eastward after occupying Yunzhong County, the Eastern Jin Dynasty on the other side was rushing west along the northern part of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, clearly intending to join Chang'an.
If they had not reached a tacit understanding with Chang'an, they would not be so determined.
This is by no means a matter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty soldiers being deceptive and deceiving the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Chang'an City appears suddenly, powerful and mysterious.
If you don't say hello to it properly, if you bump into it, you may get a beating at any time!
When the time comes, the Eastern Jin Dynasty will definitely not be able to bear being surrounded by enemies on three sides.
They must have contacted Chang'an secretly and reached a tacit understanding.
Although Chang'an seems to be uncooperative now, if it stands there, Dongtang will have to be on guard.
Because of this, the Eastern Jin Dynasty attacked in full swing and took advantage, while the Eastern Tang Dynasty could only barely parry.
This caused several other major dynasties to start to have various ideas.
First, it is not surprising that the Eastern Jin Dynasty would contact Chang'an.
But why did Chang'an accept the kindness of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?
Doing business with the Western Zhou Dynasty is because the Western Zhou Dynasty is directly adjacent to Hexi County.
There was no contact with the Eastern Jin Dynasty before.
Now the Eastern Jin Dynasty is taking advantage, and Chang'an itself has not taken any action.
If we look at it from the perspective of distant friendship and close attack, it certainly makes sense.
However, Chang'an needs distant relations and close attacks, and allies, which in itself explains many problems.
Hong Xiao, the dean of the White Horse Academy in the Ninth Realm, was defeated in Chang'an City, which truly demonstrated his strength.
But does the current situation mean that Chang'an City is also beginning to feel pressure in the face of the remaining Ninth Level masters Tang Wang and Qingyun Guanzhu in the Eastern Tang Dynasty who may join forces, or in addition to the masters from the Northern Qi Dynasty, an ally of the Eastern Tang Dynasty?
Woolen cloth?
Secondly, Chang'an joined forces with the Eastern Jin Dynasty to block the Northern Qi Dynasty in the north and put huge pressure on the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Can other people also take advantage of this opportunity?
Even if we can't completely dismember and annex the Eastern Tang Dynasty, if our other families tear off a piece of Eastern Tang Dynasty from all directions, will Eastern Tang Dynasty be able to take care of it?
Seeing how Dongtang is struggling to cope with the situation in the north, the answer is gradually becoming clear to everyone.
Several other countries are starting to get excited.
The envoys of the Eastern Tang Dynasty visited various places and spoke loudly, but they could not stop the undercurrents surging in the surrounding countries.
However, everyone is also thinking about a question.
Whether Chang'an really couldn't bear the pressure and joined forces with the Eastern Jin Dynasty, or everyone guessed wrong.
But in any case, it is undoubtedly most beneficial to reach a tacit agreement with Chang'an and carve up the Eastern Tang Dynasty together.
As for what happened to Chang'an after the partition of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, we can talk about it later.
After dividing and absorbing the resources and talents of Dongtang, the strength of our own family will inevitably increase...
Before that, we might as well make good friends with Chang'an like the Eastern Jin Dynasty did.
Having made up their mind, several other countries secretly sent out attempts to secretly go to Chang'an.
In the sky of Longnan County, a bloody light flew across.
After entering the Longnan County area, the blood light fell to the ground, and the figure appeared. It was a roc bird that was three people tall when standing. Its body was white, but its wings were dark red, as if it were blood.
The roc bird flapped its wings, shrunk in size, and turned into a human form.
The middle-aged man straightened his clothes and then walked towards the city ahead.
After entering the city to inquire about it, he left the city again, transformed into the Blood Cloud Peng again, and flew to the next place.
In the next city, he found the person he was looking for.
Looking at the Taoist priest in front of him, the middle-aged man said: "I, Tang Ze, of the Chu Dynasty, have sent an envoy to Chang'an on the orders of the king of this dynasty to ask for an audience with the Lord of Chang'an City. I would like to ask the Taoist priest to report on my behalf."
Gu Hechuan looked slightly cautious and looked at the other person.
This is a great demon who has reached the eighth level and has cultivated a demon soul.
"Are you the envoy of Western Chu?" Gu Hechuan asked.
Tang Ze nodded: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, will not give up. He will take Tang Mou in, and he will serve as the commander of the secret guards and serve His Majesty."
