In ancient times, the "earth dragon's transformation" was definitely a great event, so among the "visions coming from the sky", its impact was second to none.
Because the Five Elements Theory has always been a mainstream academic existence in ancient times, hundreds of schools of thought originated from it and have continuous connections. The "Kanyu Technique" developed based on the Five Elements Theory and is highly valued. It runs through the Chinese culture.
All aspects.
In terms of "Kan Yu's Technique", Guanzhong has been an "emperor's spirit" since ancient times. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, Fenghao was the capital of the two capitals. The two capitals were built on both sides of the Feng River, Feng to the west of the river and Hao to the east. The Qin Dynasty
During the great unification, Xianyang City, the imperial capital, was established on both sides of the Wei River. In the Han Dynasty, the capital Chang'an began to be built on a large scale to take over the world. The chosen site looked south to Zhongnan, with the Wei River as its back. The layout of the palace corresponded to the stars in the sky, implying "the harmony between man and nature".
"One", so Chang'an City in Han Dynasty is also called "Doucheng"
Dong Zhuo's fire burned the once glorious Han Dynasty Chang'an city to pieces and left it in pieces. Changle Weiyang, which used to be brilliant with lights, had long been covered with vegetation and was in decline. By the time Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty settled the world, he was determined to create an eternal legacy.
, then decided to rebuild the capital.
Yu Wenkai studied heaven and man and was proficient in Feng Shui. He chose the old site of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty. This place is known as "five plateaus, six hills, eight waters, and eleven ponds". There is a dragon vein and dragon head from the south to the north.
Right at the place where the dragon's head was, there are six hills running east and west across the terrain. From the height of the six slopes, the terrain gradually decreases from south to north, and the shape of the ground is very similar to the six lines of the Qian hexagram in the "Book of Changes".
Yu Wenkai believed that this place had "dragon energy" and that it was the location of the dragon veins in the world. After getting the consent of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, he recruited craftsmen from all over the world, and it took thirty-one years to build the new city. Because Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was initially named "Daxing Gong", he built the new city.
This city was named "Daxing City".
When the Li and Tang Dynasties established the country, they were deeply supported by the clans of Guanlong and should be rewarded for their merits after the founding of the country. Guanzhong was the place where Guanlong's power gathered, so the capital was still set in Daxing City, but it meant "long-lasting peace and stability".
Rename Daxing City to Chang'an City...
It can be seen that the land of Chang'an has always been regarded as the place of "dragon veins". The turning over of the earth dragon will cause the earth veins to change and the fortune to rotate. If it occurs in such a place with "dragon veins", it will destroy the "dragon veins" and the consequences will be extremely serious.
So when Li Chunfeng heard Li Chengqian's inquiry, he immediately insisted: "This is definitely not the earth dragon turning over!"
He pointed at the mushroom cloud in the distance that was still gathering, and said decisively: "Earth dragons turn over, their severity is different, and the consequences are also different. Of course, when there is leakage of earth energy and lava spews, it is probably nothing more than smoke.
It rises and the molten lava bursts out. I have never seen such phenomena before."
When all the ministers saw Li Chunfeng's vow, they were relieved.
After all, this person is an authority on the celestial phenomena of the Tang Dynasty, and his words represent the most authoritative judgment. If he says no, then of course it is not.
As long as the "Dragon Vein" is not destroyed, the morale of the army can be stabilized. Otherwise, if rumors spread at this time that the "Dragon Vein" has been destroyed, it will be a huge blow to the Sixth Leader of the East Palace and the people in Chang'an City who still care about the East Palace.
.
Li Daozong's eyes were deep, looking at the direction of the mushroom cloud, and said slowly: "Based on visual inspection of its distance and position, it should be near the foundry bureau. The academy students followed the prince's order and went to guard it, but the rebels must have continued to attack. It must be the foundry bureau.
Something unexpected happened. If this phenomenon were not caused by the earth dragon, could it be that all the gunpowder stored in the foundry bureau's warehouse exploded..."
The hearts of several people around him suddenly sank.
They have all seen the power of gunpowder. Although the phenomena in front of them are too terrifying and a bit unbelievable, since it is not caused by the earth dragon turning over, it is most likely caused by the explosion of a huge amount of gunpowder in the foundry bureau's warehouse.
.
Gunpowder exerted great power on the battlefield in Liaodong. The strong mountain cities built by the Goguryeo people for decades were blown up one after another by gunpowder. This not only greatly reduced the casualties caused by the Tang army's attack, but also accelerated the army's advance. Therefore, His Majesty Li Er
Several decrees were issued, ordering the Foundry Bureau to expand the scale of gunpowder production. However, the Foundry Bureau did increase workshops and craftsmen, and worked day and night to expand production capacity. However, the Liaodong side suddenly withdrew its troops, resulting in a huge amount of gunpowder stranded in the Foundry Bureau.
It was in the warehouse and could not be shipped out in time.
If these gunpowders were really detonated together, thus producing such a world-destroying energy, then how could those academy students who were ordered by the prince to defend the Foundry Bureau still have a chance to survive...
Li Chengqian's heart dropped like a lead, and he stared blankly at the huge mushroom cloud that seemed like it should not exist in the human world. Regrets filled his heart. After a long time, he said with regret: "It's Gu's fault. If it weren't for Gu's edict, the academy students would have died."
They will not go to the foundry, nor will they encounter such a disaster. I am afraid that there will be no bones left at this moment. These are the elites of the empire, each of them is an outstanding person, and now it seems that they have died because of their lonely attachment to power.
Mourning! If I had known this, I would rather have the rebels get the gunpowder to blow up the imperial city than have these pillars of the country die here..."
By the end of the sentence, I was filled with regret and burst into tears.
Xiao Yu hurriedly consoled him: "Your Highness, why are you doing this? We are the emperor's emoluments, so we should be loyal to the emperor. Your Highness is the prince canonized by His Majesty's Golden Code, and the crown prince of the country. The country is in good shape, and the country is orthodox. We should do our best to assist you, and we will fight to the death."
Loyalty! Everyone here, as well as countless loyal people in the world, are willing to sacrifice their lives and blood to maintain His Highness. Those students fought hard and died, and their names in history will last forever.
Li Daozong also said: "What the Duke of Song Dynasty said is absolutely true. His Highness is generous and kind, and cannot bear to see more than a thousand students killed at the hands of thieves. But who can reverse such God's will? Besides, everything is just speculation, and such visions are also
It may not be an explosion in the Foundry Bureau's warehouse. Even if it does happen, maybe the students can evacuate in time."
Although Li Chengqian felt sad and remorseful in his heart, he felt that it was his edict that led to the tragic death of these students. With such a power of destroying the world, he was afraid that there would be no bones left... But he also knew that he was the backbone at this moment, and he could not do it because of it.
The moment of sadness caused morale to drop, so he collected his feelings and nodded: "Don't worry, everyone, although I am soft-hearted, I also know that maintaining the integrity of the country is the most important at this moment."
But I secretly made up my mind that if defeat can be turned into victory this time, and it is later confirmed that all those students have sacrificed their lives for the country, then they must erect monuments and biographies to pass on such heroic deeds to future generations, and will never let the names of heroes
Buried in dust and ashes...
*****
Outside Xuanwu Gate, from the beginning, the entire Zuenwei army made a sudden surprise attack, and the Right Tunwei was forced to take defense. Until now, the situation has been completely reversed. First there was a gunpowder bombardment, and then a volley of muskets. The Zuotunwei faced the Right Tunwei.
The powerful firepower destroyed the troops, resulting in low morale, a disorganized formation, and almost the collapse of the entire army. Then the right guard turned from defense to offense and launched a strong attack. They bombed with artillery from a distance and almost assaulted with armored cavalry. Even if the royal army joined in, it would be difficult to save them.
defeat.
At this moment, on the plateau north of Xuanwu Gate, the Right Guards launched a thorough counterattack in separate groups. The previously strong Left Guards rushed forward and were defeated. They were pursued one after another and suffered heavy casualties. It was not until they retreated to the shore of the Wei River that they joined forces with the imperial army.
A place to regroup and get a chance to breathe.
However, Chai Zhewei knew that after the artillery of the right guard was adjusted and the exhausted and limp armored cavalry took a short rest, they would usher in a round of relentless charge. With the current strength and morale of the left guard,
, it is absolutely difficult to resist.
Defeat is decided.
The only extravagant hope is that we must not allow the Zuotun Guard army to be wiped out...

But how easy is it?
Chai Zhewei looked at the soldiers of the Youtun Guards who were slowly moving forward and constantly adjusting their formations in front of him, then looked at his subordinates who had abandoned their helmets and armor, and whose morale had collapsed. He looked back at the Wei River, which was still rolling in the winter, and felt a wave of
The cold air completely took over my whole body, my hands and feet were cold, and I lost all confidence.
How could this battle end like this?
Although he knew that the Youtun Guards had fought in Bai Dao and overthrew Xue Yantuo, and had a great reputation for being powerful in battle, he never thought that his Zuen Guards were inferior to them. Moreover, the soldiers under his command were more than twice as many as those of the Right Tun Guards.
Coupled with the more than 10,000 royal troops, even if they could not completely annihilate the Youtun Guards, they could be completely defeated. As a result, in less than half a day, the troops who had hoped to help them seize more power and gain more benefits were completely disabled.
, and even face the danger of annihilation of the entire army.
This is completely inconsistent with what I once imagined...
