Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-One Thousands of years no see, stay safe?
"You want me to beat my father?" Yang Jian was amused.
Even if I don't become the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, I can't beat my father.
Do you want me to give you a reason?
Although this reason is very good, Yang Jian cannot say it.
Then, his face darkened.
Next to Yang Jian sat the Demon Queen Luo Wuxie, who was wearing a long black dress. She was already a demon fairy.
Ever since Yu Kuan returned her true soul, her cultivation speed has improved by leaps and bounds.
As her qualifications recovered, her momentum became stronger day by day, and the majesty of the Empress of the Sui Dynasty increased day by day.
The end of the Liang Dynasty was a serious matter, so she also accompanied Yang Jian on the expedition to witness the end of the Liang Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty.
Luo Wuxie looked at the ministers unanimously asking Yang Jian to attack Ming Dynasty, and her eyebrows could not help but frown slightly.
Attacking the Ming Dynasty sounds good. But the Ming Dynasty has been an ally of the Sui Dynasty for so many years. It was thanks to Emperor Ming Jiang Yao's strategy that he destroyed Liang so quickly this time.
Now that they have just destroyed their old enemy Pseudo Liang, they are about to fight against the Ming Dynasty and turn against each other. It seems that the Sui Dynasty has no magnanimity and has broken trust in the world.
Besides, she didn't like the attitude of the ministers towards His Majesty.
Rather than saying that the ministers advised Yang Jian to attack the Ming Dynasty, it would be better to say that they were asking His Majesty to attack the Ming Dynasty!
Humph, your Majesty will naturally consider whether or not to attack Ming, and when to attack Ming. Why do you need to decide?
So, before Yang Jian could speak, Luo Wuxie spoke.
"My lords, if it hadn't been for Emperor Ming's Jiang Yao, it would have taken ten or eight years for me, the Sui Dynasty, to destroy the Liang Dynasty. I don't know what changes might have occurred during this period."
"Even if Liang can be wiped out as soon as possible, Yunhui Tiancheng will still have to be attacked for decades. How many troops will be able to contain the Sui Dynasty? For the Sui Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has really made a contribution this time."
"Now, just because of the resources and wealth of the Liang Kingdom, they are looking for excuses to attack the Ming Dynasty. Then who dares to form an alliance with the Sui Dynasty again?"
Minister Mou Zhi immediately said: "Queen, we, the Sui Dynasty, are the orthodox people in the world. Who is really worthy of forming an alliance with the Sui Dynasty? Aren't the so-called allies using each other?"
"The Ming army has occupied the resources of the Liang Kingdom. Those are the belongings of my demon clan. How can we let the Ming army take them away, strengthen the Ming Kingdom itself, and then turn against the Great Sui Dynasty when we come back?"
"At this time, attacking the Ming Dynasty will not only demonstrate to the demons the achievements of the Sui Dynasty in resisting the human race, but it can also be used to turn against them and give them an excuse to march eastward!"
"If we don't attack the Ming Dynasty, we will not only allow the Ming Kingdom to obtain the resources of the Liang Kingdom, but also bring shame to the Sui Dynasty and the Demon Clan, which will damage the reputation of the Sui Dynasty and the Demon Clan!"
"The Queen Mother and several senior officials are not here. If the Queen Mother and several senior officials were here, they would definitely agree to attack Ming."
As soon as Mou Zhi finished speaking, all the ministers agreed, but only Minister Luo, who was Luo Wuxie's mother-in-law, remained silent.
They didn't say anything, but they actually supported the queen's attitude.
To be fair, from the standpoint of the Sui Dynasty, the ministers' strategy to attack Ming Dynasty was correct!
After all, the Ming Kingdom is a foreign race and has penetrated deeply into the Demon Realm, causing a great impact.
If the Sui army fails to attack Ming, the entire Demon Realm nobles will feel humiliated, and the military morale of the Sui army officers will also be damaged.
Regardless of emotions or reasons, we should put aside the constraints of any covenant and directly attack the Ming Dynasty. Not only will the Ming army be driven out of the demonic realm, but we will also be able to march out of the Great Luoshan in one go.
Yang Jian finally spoke. His cold eyes looked around the ministers, and he said in a slow and deep voice:
"Please don't forget, gentlemen, that the Gongshan tribe has declared its return to the Ming Dynasty. The Gongshan tribe's strength has been greatly reduced over the years, and only eight states are left."
"But the location of these eight states is extremely important. Nearly half of the defense line against the charmed tapirs is in the Gongshan Department. If the Ming Dynasty is attacked and the Sui Dynasty takes back the Kongshan Department, then the pressure on the Sui Dynasty to deal with the charmed tapirs will be great."
When he said this, a sneer appeared on his face, "The Sui Dynasty is certainly not afraid of the Charming Tapir Army. But if the pressure from the northwest is too great, will it still have the energy to march eastward?"
"The goddess of the Charm Tapir has awakened. Don't you feel that the Charm Tapir soldiers are getting stronger and stronger?"
"I can tell you." Yang Jian pointed to the north, "On the Beiming Icefield in the far north, there are a large number of charming tapir wolf riders who have finished their hard training and are preparing to go south!"
"In these years, Charming Tapir Khan has been waiting, so he cannot go all out to march south. But next, Charming Tapir Khan will go all out to march south. Because he is also afraid of the unification of the Demon Realm and the Divine Continent."
"At that time, our Demon Realm will be under tremendous pressure. Now attack Ming and abandon Jiang Yao as an ally. It seems to be for the Sui Dynasty, but in fact it is to take advantage of Charming Tapir."
"Our most powerful enemy in the Sui Dynasty is definitely not the Ming Kingdom, but the Charming Tapir, and the Blood Demon!"
Emperor Sui pointed his hand towards the west again!
"Mrs. Xiaoyue, you went to investigate the reality of the ghost wilderness before. Can you tell me whether the blood demon in the small world in the far west is about to be born?"
Mrs. Xiaoyue, who understood the situation, said: "Not long after I came back from the far west, I did find that more than one vampire race in the small world was born. Their slogan is the Eastern Expedition!"
"If they were to conquer the east, the Sui Dynasty would be the first to bear the brunt. They have colluded with the Qing Dynasty, and they are likely to attack the Sui Dynasty for the sake of the Qing Dynasty."
Yang Jian nodded and looked around at the ministers, "Have you all heard this? There is a powerful enemy, the Charming Tapir, in the north, and there is a Blood Demon in the west who is preparing to conquer the east. Can I, the Sui Dynasty, still attack the Ming Dynasty?"
"The best strategy of the Sui Dynasty is to deliberately give up the Kongshan tribe to the Ming Kingdom after unifying the Demon Realm, and pull the Ming Kingdom and the Great Sui Dynasty to jointly resist the Charming Tapir. In this way, the Great Sui Dynasty will have enough power to prepare for the Blood Demon's Eastern Expedition."
Yang Jian's words seemed reasonable at first glance, but in fact he was playing a trick to fool the officials.
Why are you fooling the officials?
Because, of course, Charming Tapir Khan will go all out to conquer the south, and there is no problem with this information. The problem is that this is not something that will happen within three years.
It would take at least ten or eight years. In this time, the Sui Kingdom would have enough time to destroy the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, in several small worlds in the ghost wilderness, blood demons have indeed been born, are indeed preparing for the Eastern Expedition, and are indeed colluding with Jiang Zhengyi.
However, the ghost wilderness is too far away, and this cannot happen within two or three years.
In this time gap, the Sui Kingdom had no time to destroy the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Jian took great pains to find excuses not to attack Ming.
What a filial son.
But the ministers didn't know this, and they couldn't refute the emperor's reasons.
Luo Wuxie also said: "Your Majesty wants to conquer Ming Dynasty more than you do, and you want to dominate the world. But as the king of a country, how can you act on your own initiative and only care about immediate gains?"
"There are only eight states left in the Kongshan tribe. If the Ming Dynasty wants it, they can simply leave it to them and let them fight with the charm tapir, forcing them to fight the charm tapir. It will be much easier for me in the Sui Dynasty."
"As for resources, our Sui Dynasty has also seized many resources from Pseudo-Liang in recent years. Isn't it more than what Jiang Yao seized this time?"
"Besides, Jiang Yao has just received the resources and hasn't said that he wants to keep them all for himself. Maybe he will still make some comments."
Coincidentally, as soon as Luo Wuxie said this, someone came in to report:
"Your Majesty, the Ming army from Yunhui Tiancheng has sent people over to see your Majesty. They have brought Yeyi Xingkong and other prisoners, as well as a batch of resources."
"Oh?" Emperor Sui looked happy, "Yeyi Xingkong...please come in."
Soon, a man with martial arts cultivation came in with Yeyi Xingkong and other prisoners.
Yeyi Xingkong and others all sealed their cultivations and wore True Essence Locks. They were all dejected and their auras were sluggish.
"Foreign Minister Wei Shenxing has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty! His Majesty's path is promising!" the Ming envoy said, neither humble nor arrogant.
After saying that, he presented two rings and said, "Your Majesty, these are resources specially selected by our Lord to give to the Sui Dynasty and Your Majesty. Please take a look at them."
That's right, this person is Wei Shenxing. He was originally a distant branch of the Wei clan in the Western Regions. After the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Wei clan, he took refuge in the Ming Dynasty and had already climbed up to the rank of minister of the Ministry of Rites.
He was also a suitable candidate for this mission to the Sui army camp.
"Thank you for your hard work, envoy. Come and give me a seat." Yang Jian took a pair of rings, glanced at them pretendingly, and smiled.
As for how many resources and what kind of resources there are in the ring, the officials have no idea.
But seeing His Majesty’s expression, it seems that he has a lot of resources?
Wei Shenxing took out another ring and said, "Your Majesty, these are the seals, talismans, military seals, and books of the Liang Kingdom. My Lord hands them all over to Your Majesty."
Yang Jian took it, nodded and said: "Good. Lord Ming has his heart, and he will live up to the friendship of the alliance."
When the ministers saw that the Ming Dynasty was so sensible, they could no longer clamor to attack the Ming Dynasty.
Then, Yang Jian looked at Yeyi Xingkong again and said with a smile: "Is Lord Liang okay?"
He also felt a little emotional. Speaking of which, Ye Yi and his father still have a relationship.
In my second life, my father also had three separate children, one of whom was given the surname Nightwing and was the ancestor of the Nightwing tribe.
However, after tens of thousands of years, the Yeyi clan has been passed down for at least a hundred generations, and this relationship has long been meaningless.
Yeyi Xingkong sighed: "The Great Sui Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the Demon Realm. Your Majesty is blessed with good fortune. I am not unjustly defeated."
For today's plan, it's no good if we don't bow our heads.
Yang Jian smiled and said: "Now, I am coming with my army. Does Lord Liang have anything else to say?"
Yeyi Xingkong knew what he was doing and expressed his stance: "Liang Kingdom no longer exists, and the only one who owns this Demon Realm is Your Majesty."
In one sentence, he admitted the fall of Liang Kingdom.
So far, out of the four regions and eight countries, only seven countries are left.
The once powerful Liang Kingdom was the first to perish, twenty-eight years after its founding.
Wei Shenxing solemnly said: "Your Majesty, my lord said that the Great Sui Dynasty is an alliance of brothers. This adventure of conquering Liang is also for self-protection. Now that the Liang Kingdom has been destroyed, the Ming Dynasty will immediately withdraw its troops and return home."
"Xuanmao City and Yunhui Tiancheng, my Lord will hand over them all to Your Majesty!"
This is a voluntary withdrawal of troops.
The Lord of the Sui Dynasty seemed to be in a good mood and smiled at the ministers: "The Sui Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are brotherly countries. The Ming Dynasty is so sincere and I have already shown it."
What I mean is, my father is so 'sensible', so you should stop shouting "Gong Ming".
At this time, it was difficult for the ministers to initiate any further attack on the Ming Dynasty.
The fierce campaign to attack Ming Dynasty has been put on hold for the time being.
………
After voluntarily handing over Yunhui Tiancheng and expressing full 'sincerity', Jiang Yao led the Ming army and returned with a full load under the nose of the Sui army.
Of course, not all of the millions of prisoners of the Liang army were left to the Sui State. As soon as Jiang Yao entered Yunhui Tiancheng, he ordered the screening of the Liang army.
Any soldier of the Demon Clan who is willing to follow the Ming Army and serve the Ming Dynasty sincerely can leave with the Ming Army.
Finally, 300,000 Liang Army soldiers were willing to join the Ming Army and return to the Ming Dynasty with Jiang Yao.
The remaining more than 700,000 people were either unwilling to leave their hometown or unwilling to serve the Ming Dynasty, so they were left to the Sui Kingdom.
In this way, Jiang Yao not only received massive resources, but also gained 300,000 Liang troops who sincerely joined him!
It’s really a huge profit.
These elite soldiers of the Liang Army were all from lower classes and were veterans.
Along with these Liang soldiers leaving, there were also their families.
As a result, a spectacle occurred in the Demon Realm. The Ming Army withdrew from the Demon Realm, but many low-level demons followed the Ming Army and Jiang Yao to withdraw!
When the nobles of the Demon Realm heard this, they gritted their teeth and couldn't believe it.
However, Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty ordered that no provocation be allowed to avoid breaking the alliance between the two countries and destroying the joint anti-tapir policy.
By the time the Ming army withdrew to Nuguan, the number of demons following the Ming army had exceeded three million!
Many low-level demon monks knelt on the side of the avenue in advance. When Jiang Yao's big book arrived, they all shouted in a shocking voice:
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious! Jiang Gong will be victorious!"
"I want to follow Mr. Jiang."
Over the past few decades, the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty has developed many organizations in the Demon Realm to promote the Ming Dynasty's reforms and Jiang Gong's benevolence.
Especially the demons close to the Western Regions have long heard about the Ming Dynasty's reforms over the years.
And I heard Mr. Jiang say that the four tribes are from a poor family!
Jiang Yao looked at the low-blooded "bastard devils" and "low-blooded devils" kneeling on the roadside and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
These 'miscellaneous demons' and 'base demons' are the lowest class of demons with the largest number, but the lowest status and the poorest.
The martial nobles of various tribes in the Demon Realm lived a life of luxury and lust by cruelly squeezing them.
The Ming army was a foreign race to them, but they would rather follow the foreign race out of the border than stay in their hometown in the Demon Realm.
Even Zhen Jiubing and others were greatly moved when they saw this scene.
The power of the Ming Dynasty's reform can actually win over the hearts of the demons!
Jiang Yao said loudly: "Anyone who voluntarily follows me out of the seclusion is allowed to do what he wants without any obstruction."
Qin Yu whispered: "My lord, are the demons who follow us placed in the Qishan tribe?"
Jiang Yao nodded, "Let's place it in the Gongshan Department and recruit demon troops from there to serve the Ming Dynasty."
When the poor members of the demon clan heard that Jiang Gong had agreed to take them away, they all burst into joy. Jiang Yao's wish level soared again.
In mid-April, the Ming army withdrew from Nuguan and headed north to the Qishan Mountains.
With the new surrender of the Tongshan tribe, Jiang Yao will of course go to patrol the Tongshan tribe to declare sovereignty, appease people's hearts, and then inspect the anti-tapir border defense.
You must know that the Gongshan Department was established under the control of Xisheng and must be handled with care.
The Ming Dynasty's battle to destroy the Liang Dynasties went so smoothly, and they even captured the Gongshan tribe, which really shocked the world again.
‘The Ming army unexpectedly invaded the Demon Realm and destroyed Liang!’ Zhou’s ministers exclaimed.
"The Liang Kingdom has been destroyed, and the Qing Dynasty seems to have lost an arm!" Qing officials lamented.
The Ming army destroyed Liang, allowing other countries to see how powerful the Ming army was.
Countless monks in the Southern Region of the Western Region of the Ming Dynasty were even more inspired.
Even the poor families in the entire Shenzhou feel proud.
The Ming Dynasty destroyed Liang!
Under the propaganda of Jin Yiwei from all over the country, the Ming army's destruction of Liang was simply an unparalleled achievement that the Shenzhou human race had been proud of for tens of thousands of years.
Mr. Zhongda's reputation and the Ming Dynasty's momentum surged again.
Jiang Yao's will power and Ming Dynasty's royal luck have experienced another surge.
In just a few days, ginger medicine’s will power has exceeded the 40 million mark!
The royal luck stored in Jiuding also changed from dark blue to light green. With the blessing of royal luck, the strength of officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty also increased.
The power of Tao Yun in the Six Paths Reincarnation Tower began to merge.
It can be seen how great the impact of the Ming Dynasty's destruction of the Liang Dynasty.
Those who hoped that the Ming Kingdom and the Sui Kingdom would turn against each other and start a war were all disappointed.
Not only did the Ming and Sui not fight, but the Sui also tolerated the Ming's occupation of the Gongshan tribe!
The Qing Kingdom, which originally united with the Liang Kingdom to conquer the northern and southern regions, could only temporarily cease its activities.
Without the Liang Kingdom to attack the Western Regions to contain the situation, the Qing Dynasty's independent expedition to the north would be very risky.
………
Jiang Yao, the leader of the Ming Dynasty, led a total of 850,000 troops of humans, demons, monsters, and ghosts to the north and entered the Qishan Mountains.
At the end of April, Emperor Ming came to Hanshui City, where the Juncheng of Gongshan was located.
The Juncheng of the Tongshan tribe was originally in the Tongshan Tiancheng, and Jiang Yao visited it once that year. But now, the Tongshan Tiancheng has long since fallen into the hands of Charming Tapir.
This Hanshui City is just a temporary city in the Qishan tribe.
There were originally twelve prefectures in the Tongshan region, and the four northern prefectures were the richest and the most elite areas, but they were all occupied by charmed tapirs.
Nowadays, the Gongshan Department can only rely on the natural dangers of Gongshan Mountain and Hanshui to try its best to maintain its fragile defense line.
If the monarchs and ministers of the Gongshan tribe were not controlled by Xi Sheng, the Gongshan tribe would have been unable to hold on long ago.
In fact, the Gongshan Tribe tried to collude with Charming Tapir several times, but they were killed by Xi Sheng.
It was the Western Sage and the Shen Cult that insisted on the resistance of the Kongshan tribe for so many years.
Speaking of which, this is also the sadness of the Western Saint.
The upper echelons of the Tongshan tribe that he deliberately controlled were originally the greatest success and the greatest confidence of the divine religion.
But luckily, it happened that the Charming Tapir invaded the south. The Kongshan tribe bore the brunt and could only persevere.
If we give up our territory, won’t all these years of hard work be in vain?
In desperation, Xishenghe Shenjiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and control the high-level officials of the Gongshan Department to resist.
He also worked hard to unite the Biluo Tribe, the Liang Kingdom, the Sui Kingdom, and even the Shenzhou Camp, and was able to secure half of the country with great danger.
However, the blood of the Kongshan tribe is almost running out, with only three to four hundred thousand elites left, and they cannot hold on for much longer.
Under this situation, Xisheng simply gave Jiang Yao a favor and took control of the senior officials of the Gongshan Department to bring down the Ming Dynasty!
In the secret palace deep in the Hanshui City Lord's Mansion, a young man who was more delicate than a flower, but whose gender could not be identified, was sighing with a melancholy look on his face.
"Alas, the Jin clan is gone, and now the Kongshan tribe is gone too. Father, what do we have now?"
This person is clearly the former young master of the Jin Clan, Jin Li!
He or she looked at an old man in white clothes in the middle of the hall with a sad expression.
This old man has an elegant face, an ancient attitude, and a pair of deep eyes like ancient wells. He is the wisest man in the divine religion: Master Xisheng.
Xi Sheng looked at the south and said in a calm tone: "Jiang Yao has arrived, and he will become the new master of the Gongshan tribe. As for you, Li'er, accepting the reality is your best choice."
"Why?" Jin Li smiled bitterly, "Father, can I only live under Jiang Yao and live in a poor family? In the so-called Ming Dynasty, does the so-called Ming Dynasty have a way out for me, a nobleman of the Wu family?"
Xi Sheng looked indifferent, "If you cannot give up wealth and noble status, then the road will be far away from you."
"A truly noble person is never brought about by status. Even if you are made Emperor Ming, can you protect the Ming Kingdom from wind and rain, allow the Ming Kingdom to continue, and even dominate the world?"
He looked at the sky, "In this world of great strife, it is not mainly a great struggle between countries, or even a great struggle between alien races. First of all, it is a great struggle between the Wu family and the Han family! Do you understand?!"
"The Wu family has been in the world for 200,000 years and has accumulated too much cause and effect, hatred, and resentment, which is enough to trigger resistance in this world."
"Those who resist may not succeed, but wherever there is oppression, there must be resistance."
"No one can change the general trend. Those who have the ability to force change do not dare to be contaminated by the cause and effect. Those who are not afraid of being contaminated by the cause and effect are unable to force the change."
Jin Li was silent for a long time and said in a bleak tone: "In my father's opinion, who will win between the Wu family and the humble family?"
After hearing this topic, even the wise and profound Western Saint shook his head without hesitation:
"The way of heaven is unpredictable and the destiny changes. Only God knows who will lose and who will win."
Jin Li didn't get an answer from Xi Sheng and couldn't help but feel even more confused.
"No, only God knows." Suddenly a voice with a strange accent came.
Jin Li took a look and saw a red shadow appearing at the end of the hall.
This red shadow seems to have come out of the ground, but it is not an earth escape technique.
Who is it? Can actually enter the secret palace with strict formations?
While Jin Li was in shock, the strange red shadow condensed into a tall, blond, blue-eyed man in red with a high nose and deep eyes.
This man in red clothes has a cross hanging on his chest, holding a crooked scepter, and a faint halo above his head. He looks very sacred.
Like a weird god.
The man in red made a cross on his chest and said with a smile:
"My dear Xiao, we haven't seen each other for thousands of years. Do you still remember your friend, Arthur Sith?"
"Oh my God, my dear Xiao, my sincere and noble friend, we finally meet again today. Thank God, the cake buyer."
He had a compassionate and tolerant smile on his face. Every beard on his face seemed to be filled with the brilliance of kindness, integrity, kindness, wisdom, and holiness.
Like a man with all the good qualities and noble tastes.
Extraterrestrial demon!
It was he who supported the Cult of the Balance back then. In a sense, this man who called himself Arthur Sith was the true founder of the Cult of the Balance.
But that was a long time ago.
Although the Tianping Divine Sect has an inseparable connection with the extraterrestrial demons, there are no traces of the extraterritorial demons in the current Tianping Divine Sect.
Xi Sheng showed no surprise at all. He chuckled and said, "It turns out we are old friends. We haven't seen each other for thousands of years. How are you?"
PS: What do you think will happen when old friends meet?
Suddenly I thought, if the chariot god suddenly died before the Battle of Gaoliang River, would future generations sigh with regret: If Taizong had not died, what would have happened to the Song Dynasty?
