"The current situation in the world of cultivation seems to be calm. In fact, it is already turbulent, like a volcano before it erupts. The longer it is suppressed, the more destructive it will be when it erupts." Yunlong paused and continued:
"In today's world, the two paths of good and evil are dominated by strength, and due to differences in regions and factions, they are divided into several forces. Among the demon sects, the central demon sect appears and disappears in the mist, and no one can figure out their details;
Needless to say, the Eastern Demon Sect was severely damaged in the battle of Kaifeng. The Later Jin Dynasty, which was supported by the closed-door and closed-door mountains, has also been annexed. Only part of its strength is still barely supported by the Liao Kingdom, but its strength has also shrunk greatly. It has been revealed from the outside.
After entering the stage of world hegemony, he is probably still licking his wounds.
The Western Demonic Cult is still competing for territory with the major local sects in the West and the Potala Palace. The conflicts between the various groups of people are very frequent. Now they have no time to separate themselves, so they can be put aside for the time being;
The Southern Demonic Cult is better. Since there are hundreds of ethnic groups in the South, and the various customs and habits are different, they are very integrated. As a result, they get along well with the southern side sects who are also not favored by the righteous people. There is basically no conflict and they can be reasonably controlled.
Chu State’s development strength over the past few decades is certainly not small;
Only the Northern Demon Sect dominates the north and controls a vast land of hundreds of thousands of miles. Under its banner are the disciples of the Hu nationality, mainly the Liao Kingdom. Among all the demon sects, Qian has the most obvious strength and momentum. Even our Song Dynasty has to temporarily
Avoid the front. But..." At this point, Yunlong couldn't help but smile and said:
"I have made some advance preparations to make them wary that they will not invade the south in a short time." Naturally, he was referring to Yunchang Yunqiu's non-aggression agreement. With the guarantee of the great elder of the Northern Demon Sect, he was naturally confident.
Very sufficient.
"After all, we are a member of the righteous path on the surface. In addition, the Tianding Emperor is sitting here, and we have annexed the Later Jin Dynasty controlled by the Eastern Demon Cult. We have also lost many manpower, which has greatly offended the demonic forces. These demonic forces are controlled by the demonic sect.
The country is destined to be our enemy.
However, from a geographical point of view, except for the Liao Kingdom, these countries are separated from the Song Dynasty by several countries, so I do not advocate attacking them without sufficient 'preparation'. Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for military strategists." Yunlong side.
He shook his head as he narrated.
"No wonder Brother Dao used to bring those righteous sects to attend the founding ceremony of the Song Dynasty. It was because of this. Brother Dao probably meant to annex those countries that are easier to win first, and then attack the countries controlled by the devil.
"Taiyanren said excitedly as he smashed his left hand on the palm of his right hand.
"It should be like this. Those sects who claim to be righteous will naturally have some truth behind the scenes. Brother Youlong set up a clever trick to carry out the big hat of 'the emperor is destined to be the emperor, the direction of heaven'. Those who don't want to end up 'acting against heaven'
"Naturally, a sect with a bad reputation can only recognize it by pinching its nose. The so-called fighting formation is just unwillingness to fight for some benefits for oneself." Fairy Han'e said with the light of wisdom flashing in her pair of phoenix eyes.
"However, Brother Dao, there are many well-known sects behind these countries that have accumulated rich support, including the Shushan Emei Sect's 'Liangyi Mochen Formation', the Nanhai Sect's 'Guanyi Wanxiang Formation', and even the newly-emerged Daming Temple's 'Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong'
"The formation is not easy to mess with. In comparison, our Song Dynasty is actually a weaker side. If we really attack them and fail to defeat them, we will be in an embarrassing situation." Fairy Han'e speaks straightforwardly, but it doesn't matter.
scruples.
After hearing this, Yunlong burst into laughter and said, "Fellow Taoist, you don't have to worry that You Long is not a reckless person. Since he dares to set up this trap, you can be sure of it. They are strong and we are not weak! Moreover, these sects are limited to oaths and have secret ulterior motives."
If we want to accomplish a big thing, we can't spare much strength to participate in the battle. The most we can do is defend the territory. We only need to start with the easy ones and then the hard ones, and defeat them one by one. Don't underestimate our strength!" Yunlong looked full of confidence and gave it to Er.
Quite an inspiration.
While being excited, Fairy Taiyan and Han'e couldn't help but think: "Looking at how confident Daoist Brother Youlong is, he must still have some trump cards that have not yet been revealed. In this case, why should I be afraid? Just feel free to go for it!" thought of it!
Here the two of them bowed their hands to Yunlong Yi and said: "Taiyan (Han'e) is willing to obey Brother Tao's instructions and work together for a great cause!"
"Hahahaha, now that you two are helping me, I will be more confident!" Yunlong couldn't help laughing when he saw the two expressed their opinions, happily helped them up, and then began to discuss new measures...
As Yun Long said, the world seems calm, but in fact, there are turbulent undercurrents that are just waiting for an opportunity to explode. The founding of the Song Dynasty, the birth of the Tianding Emperor, and the Song Dynasty cultivators destroyed the "Wonderful Dharma, Lotus and Buddha Formation" and annexed the Southern Tang Dynasty. These are the opportunities. These are the opportunities.
This move was like lighting a powder keg, instantly detonating the situation in the Middle-earth China.
In the first year of Jianlong (the reign of the Song Dynasty after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne), the Song Dynasty sent troops to the Southern Tang Dynasty to defeat the "Miaofa Hualian Buddha Formation". The cultivation world of the Southern Tang Dynasty surrendered its control and the Song Dynasty annexed the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty, which had been recuperating for two years in the third year of Jianlong, had digested the newly added territory and greatly increased its military power. It pointed directly at Wu Yue, Yunlong led the Taiyan people, Fairy Han'e had already had in-depth exchanges, and the three major figures, including Jian Wuchen, were quite compatible.
The masters of the Returning Void Stage brought various casual cultivators and small sects who had joined the Song Dynasty to attack Wu Yue on a large scale.
Wu Yueming Temple, Wuji Gate, Putuo Temple, Inspiration Temple and other righteous cultivators jointly set up the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong" formation, which is extremely defensive and requires the participation of a large number of cultivators. Since the attack power of Buddhism is weak, they try to rely on the hugeness of this formation.
Defense is used to withstand the opponent's attack and delay it.
However, Yunlong's trump card was finally revealed. Daming Temple secretly informed Yunlong about the layout of the formation, and Yunlong failed to work hard several times. He deliberately exposed the loopholes in the formation in secret places and successfully "assisted" without the other sects knowing.
Yunlong destroyed the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong" Buddhist formation. The Wu and Yue sects had no choice but to admit defeat and give up control. The Song Dynasty once again annexed a piece of territory, and its strength greatly increased and shocked the world.
Seeing the ferocious power of the Song Dynasty, the country was small and weak, and Nanping, who felt that it could not resist the military power of the Song Dynasty, could not sit still. Behind it, the Jade Buddha Temple and other sects submitted letters of surrender to the Song Dynasty and voluntarily surrendered. The Song Dynasty also unceremoniously awarded some rewards.
Later, the entire territory of Nanping was annexed. In this way, the territory of the Song Dynasty has been connected into one piece across the northeast, with only Hou Shu in the southeast. The seventy-two islands in the South China Sea are difficult to start because they have the support of top sects behind them; the territory of the Southern Han and the Song Dynasty
There was Hou Chu in the middle and the whip could not reach him, so he had no choice but to give up.
However, after three years of recuperation and digestion of the newly added territory, the strength of the Song Dynasty was greatly increased, and the Song Dynasty set its sights on another place, Houchu!
