You Chuhong stroked Dugufeng's hair, looking like she had just woken up from a nightmare and was still frightened.
A nightmare indeed.
The Dugu Clan had invaded Chang'an before, but suddenly surrendered to the Li Clan. Naturally, this was not done willingly, but the leader, You Chuhong, was controlled by ruthless telepathy.
This kind of control could have been released after Wuqing knelt down, but Gushe was extremely cautious and would rather pay more to ensure that everything was foolproof, so he turned it into a mental prison, which directly changed his character.
Ever since, You Chuhong was truly loyal to the Song clan.
Until Xu Yue, Xu Feng, Wu Que and Nightingale join forces.
Xu Fengwu used ancient martial arts, Xu Yue used ice and snow magic, and supplemented it with the magic potion prepared by Nightingale. It took more than a month to finally rescue the old woman's true mind from the mental prison.
It's not a matter of amazing skills, but of hard work accumulated over time.
In fact, there are many people who want to please the Dugu Clan, not to mention that Dugu Feng is one of the Seven Swordsmen.
But after the other reincarnations checked, they all left one after another. The reason was that it took too long. If Qingqing accidentally escaped, there was no guarantee that all the previous efforts would be wasted.
But after Xu Yue and the others contacted Huang Shang and received Wuqing's promise that they would never escape, they made up their minds. After a long time, they finally succeeded.
Xu Feng used Yang Shen martial arts to heal You Chuhong's hidden injuries.
At this moment, she stayed tenderly in the old lady's arms for a moment, then pounced on her two good friends.
Xu Yue was too tall, so she naturally rushed towards Nightingale. The two hugged each other, laughed and danced, and decided to sleep together tonight.
After You Chuhong thanked the four benefactors, she immediately ordered: "Call Feng'er and Ba'er!"
This old lady is old, but her personality is not at all gentle and kind. Instead, she is vigorous and resolute. She has suffered such a big loss this time. If the culprit is not cut into pieces, she might as well die. : :
However, Xu Yue and the others knew that the culprit was on the streets of Luoyang, preparing to transform into a butterfly.
Even though the old lady is so awesome right now, if she really wants to confront her head-on and stand there to cut her body into pieces, she doesn't even have the courage to take action.
Not long after, You Chuhong's two sons, Dugu Feng and Dugu Ba, came in.
When the two of them saw the familiar eyes, they couldn't help but trembled and bowed with great joy: "Mother!"
You Chuhong looked at the haggard two people and sighed in her heart: "Get up quickly!"
After the Dugu clan surrendered, all its power had been swallowed up by the Li clan.
In Dugu Mansion today, these direct disciples are under a state of semi-house arrest.
Dugu Feng and Dugu Ba's abilities are not outstanding, and they really rely on their old mother to support them on weekdays.
When the old mother was used by the enemy, they were immediately confused.
Fortunately, the backbone has finally returned.
Fighting spirit is high.
The next step is nothing more than understanding the current situation.
However, after Dugu Feng told her story, You Chuhong simply felt that she was still being controlled.
Dou Jiande surrendered, Li Mi surrendered, Wang Shichong died, and Buddhism was destroyed.
And just three days ago, the Song Dynasty also fell.
Will Song Que surrender?
You Chuhong didn’t believe it.
This is all so ridiculous.
Then Dugufeng finally told the reason.
The academy fights for the dragon.
After hearing the general reason, You Chuhong sighed: "Your Majesty was right to be worried."
The majesty she spoke of could not be Li Yuan, and it was also not Yang Guang, but Emperor Wen Yang Jian.
What Yang Jian was most afraid of at that time was not the Turkic Empire that had not yet been divided at that time, nor the wealthy families within the Sui Dynasty. It was the great master who opened the academy in Jinyang City and was the best person in the world.
Now it seems that this fear is completely justified.
Because once Pei Ju wanted to compete for the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the help he received and the obstacles he encountered were so small that it was beyond anyone's expectation.
Originally, even if everyone knew that Pei Ju had peaches and plums all over the world, including common people from aristocratic families, and was respected and loved by all walks of life, and had the greatest advantage, fighting for the world was no longer a piece of cake.
I don’t give up just because I want to, I also have to consider the wealth and lives of my followers!
If there was no hope at all, how could a hero like Dou Jiande and Li Mi, or a talented military strategist like Song Que, surrender?
After calming down, You Chuhong asked: "What about now?"
Dugu Feng said: "After the 'Crazy Sword' Pei Yuanqing captured Luoyang, he made some adjustments and led an army of 50,000 to push towards the pass."
Dugu Ba said: "After 'Shang Jian' Shang Xiuxun took over Shu, he also sent 50,000 troops to attack Chang'an."
Dugu Feng added: "After Song Que, the 'Heaven Sword', returned to the Song Dynasty, he mobilized 150,000 troops and went north to fight against the Turkic army. I believe that Li Jing, the 'Smart Sword' who has been resisting the Turkic army, will also be able to free up his hands."
After the Turkic army pressed the border, it continued to clash with the troops led by Dou Jiande and Li Jing. The front they were on was the defense line built by the Northern Qi Dynasty in the past.
Although Lin Guangying sold out all the Turkic troops when he defected, due to the gap in military strength between the two sides, the Central Plains is still in a defensive stage.
Since Jieli Khan became the Turkic Khan, this broken and divided empire has once again restored its former glory. All the people on the grassland are soldiers. Even if the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command cannot all be called elite, they are still an extremely powerful force that can
Being able to prevent it is already something to be proud of.
What should be urgent is the other side.
Because once the Central Plains is unified and a powerful dynasty is born again, it is just a daydream for the Turks to take advantage of it.
And Song Que's journey north was indeed a shot in the arm.
Needless to say, he himself said that the Lingnan Army was mainly composed of sleuths, with simple folk customs and hardworking and good at fighting. Although there were only more than 100,000 people, they were well-trained. Coupled with the weapons of Pegasus Ranch, they would definitely make it difficult for the Turks to overcome the thunder pool.
Half step.
You Chuhong took a deep breath and said, "The focus now is the battle of Chang'an."
She was very fortunate that her good granddaughter became Pei Ju's personal disciple, giving the Dugu Clan a logical reason to rely on him.
Of course, due to previous missteps, if you want to follow the dragon, a bloody battle is inevitable.
However, You Chuhong still overestimated the difficulty.
The next moment, Dugu Feng suddenly waved, and saw Kou Zhong's head peeking in. Seeing You Chuhong sitting upright with a golden sword, he hurriedly ran over: "Hello, grandma, I am Sister Fenghuang's brother Kou
Zhong.”
You Chuhong saw that although this boy was young, his skills were already impressive, and nodded slightly: "Did you bring some good news?"
Kou Zhong touched his head and smiled: "Yes, great news. With Zi Ling's persuasion, Li Shimin surrendered."
…
…
When Xu Ziling led Li Shimin in and surrendered, everyone looked at His Royal Highness the King of Jin with bright eyes.
This step is really crucial.
With this internal agent, the chances of capturing Chang'an are much higher.
After all, he is not only a person, but also has Tiance Mansion under his command.
The mansion has recruited many college students, all of whom are outstanding graduates and have bright futures.
After Li Shimin greeted You Chuhong, Dugu Feng, and Dugu Clan as juniors, he even said to Dugu Feng, "I've met my senior!"
Dugu Feng jumped in front of Li Shimin, deliberately keeping a suitable distance in order not to raise his head, and smiled happily: "Li Er, you are still sensible. When I skipped class, you were the only one who knew how to cover for me... Oops.
!”
Halfway through, she was hit on the head. She turned around angrily and saw You Chuhong and three others staring at her fiercely.
Dugu Feng stuck out his tongue and quickly stepped aside.
I got carried away for a moment and forgot that my parents were still there.
Awkward, embarrassed.
There was no embarrassment in Li Shimin's politeness, just a hint of bitterness.
He really doesn't want to give up.
The Lord of Ninety-Five, supreme!
The Li Clan has occupied Guanzhong and had the foundation for success in the former Qin Dynasty, but in the end it had to be handed over to others!
You can imagine how difficult it was to make this decision!
But this is not a sign of kindness, nor is it a genuine desire to save the world, it is simply an inability to defeat.
In the past, could Qin alone be able to stop the other six countries from joining forces?
cannot!
In the end, we still have to rely on combining vertical and horizontal forces to divide the enemy's strength and defeat them one by one.
But now it is no longer the six countries joining forces, but the unity of one country, twisting into one force!
The Song clan descended.
This news became the straw that broke the camel's back.
Li Clan's original hope was actually Song Clan.
In the original plot, due to the dispute between Hu and Han, the two powerful clans were almost at loggerheads and had to join forces to compete with the academy.
As a result, after Song Que's battle with Jun Jian, he returned to the Song Family Mountain City and directly announced his surrender, even abandoning Zhennan Gong, who had been barely saved by the power of the Sui Dynasty in the past.
This pushed Pei Ju's prestige to a new peak, and at the same time, the aristocratic family in Guanzhong also took a new direction.
The aristocratic family may not necessarily be just a loser, but they also know what to do with these two parties with such a huge disparity in strength.
What's more, Li Clan occupied Guanzhong for only a few months, so there was no question of loyalty.
Li Yuan couldn't wait to proclaim himself emperor, and even removed the fig leaf, so that even the great righteousness of the Sui Dynasty could no longer be used.
With everything like this, internal and external troubles, and powerful enemies approaching, what hope is there?
Do we really expect the Turks to break through?
Li Shimin couldn't do it.
So after meeting Xu Ziling and being persuaded by his sword, Li Shimin followed the trend and chose to surrender.
He brought very important news.
Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng were also controlled, and there was no compromise.
Therefore, if you want to capture Chang'an, you can only proceed in three ways.
The first road controls the outer city.
Leave this to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to complete.
Because they are already very familiar with the local Huanghe Gang.
The Yellow River Gang is a local gang with a long history, and the Chang'an City garrison is closely related to it. Any abnormal gathering will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Yellow River Gang.
Fortunately, all the Yellow River Clan forces except Chang'an have taken refuge in the Academy, and there is only one fuse in the main rudder. With some persuasion, they will be able to abandon the dark side and join the bright side.
The second route is to surprise the Prince's Mansion and control Li Jiancheng.
The final battle is the final battle.
Li Shimin stood in front of the open map and pointed at a place with his finger:
"Xuanwu Gate is the key to seizing the palace city!"
…
…
After Daxing was renamed Chang'an, Daxing Palace was also renamed Taiji Palace.
There are a total of sixteen main halls in the palace. The main building is located on the central axis from Chengtian Gate to Xuanwu Gate, followed by Taiji Hall, Liangyi Hall, Ganlu Hall and Yanjia Hall.
Taiji Hall is called "Zhongchao" and Liangyi Hall is called "Inner Dynasty", which was used by Li Yuan to handle government affairs.
Ganlu Hall is the place for banquets, and Yanjia Hall is closest to Xuanwu Gate and has bedrooms, studies, and halls. Li Yuan lives in it now.
This is a safe move. You must know that Xuanwu Gate is where the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard is located. If there is any trouble, it is safest for the Imperial Guard to come to the rescue.
Therefore, when the news came that the Song clan had surrendered and that all the territory outside the pass was occupied by the academy, Li Yuan remained calm.
How can you surrender in the face of small setbacks?
Li Yuan did not give in. He mobilized 15,000 imperial guards overnight to protect him and arranged a secret signal.
"Impregnable!"
"Li Qin Yongcun!"
…
Night falls.
With the help of Nightingale's potion, Dugu Feng, who suddenly grew twenty centimeters tall, put on armor and became a member of the imperial guard, accompanied by Han Wan and Shi Fei Xuan, who had covered up their body fragrance.
The team was led by Changsun Wuji and Lin Yijiang.
At this time, the former led the Tiance Mansion, and the latter led the academy's elite disciples to replace the imperial guards and patrol the palace.
In addition, there are Lou Guan Sect, Mo Xiang Sect, Tianlian Sect, Laojun Guan and other forces, all of which are mobilized.
While he was getting familiar with his attire, he encountered a group of guards approaching. The lantern bearers in the front row of both sides raised their lanterns at the same time, shining them on the other side, and then exchanged signals.
"Impregnable!"
"Li Qin Yongcun!"
There was nothing unusual, the two teams passed by each other.
Until Changsun Wuji suddenly changed his password: "Unify the world!"
Without thinking, the person on the other side responded quickly: "Fragrance will last forever!"
own people.
Immediately, Lin Yijiang led ten people into the group of guards.
Then go again.
Check the password again.
"The world is unified!"
"Fragrance will last forever!"
"The world is unified!"
"Fragrance will last forever!"
…
When one team after another faced the secret code, the powerful people were divided into different teams and surrounded Yanjia Palace.
It seems that the number of people is only a thousand, which is still a small number compared to the fifteen thousand guards army, but the masters of this world can change a lot.
What's more, there are insiders around Li Yuan.
"The country belongs to me, no one can take it away from me!"
"No! No! I just want to keep my position as Duke of Tang and let the Li family of Longxi continue!"
In the Yanjia Hall, above the dragon collapse, Granny Li Yuan's face was wrinkled. She shouted loudly for a while, and was sweating coldly for a while.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Eunuch Wei came to him and pushed Li Yuan awake from a nightmare.
"ah!"
Li Yuan roared, stood up suddenly, and gasped: "Am I dreaming again?"
"Yes, your Majesty, don't worry, it will be fine, you will be fine soon."
Eunuch Wei's face showed a calm and peaceful look, which comforted Li Yuan's heart.
Although Li Yuan's mind was controlled, he still knew fear subconsciously.
What he is doing now is fighting an impossible battle and pushing the entire Li family into a pit of fire.
But when he woke up, a look of perseverance that could risk all his wealth appeared in his brows. He turned over coldly and prepared to go back to sleep.
Then outside the palace, shouts of death began.
Two beautiful figures flew first, transformed into two extremely beautiful women, and headed toward the palace.
Huanwan's Double Slash of the Heavenly Demon and Shifeixuan's Se Kong Sword came out at the same time. They cooperated in an inexplicable tacit understanding. Their occasionally intertwined eyes revealed a fierce fighting spirit: "After this battle, everyone will return to the valley and enter this year's King Ranking."
In the ranking competition, it will definitely be me who holds the victory trophy this time!”
It's like entering a deserted place.
Until the figure of an old man with white beard and hair jumped out: "Mr. Chao made a mistake here, don't be so presumptuous!"
The two women looked at the immortal old man and suddenly showed anger: "Are you the 'Nanhai Immortal' Chao Gongcuo, who was once defeated by the 'Sanren'?"
Chao Gongcuo showed his humility: "Exactly, in that battle, Brother Pei and I fought until we were a hundred moves away. He used three swords to cut off the sky, and I was defeated. It was so...!"
The two women didn't finish listening and already took action.
Then a textbook beating unfolded.
According to legend, the Nanhai Immortal who was evenly matched with Pei Ju was beaten until he vomited blood, and finally passed away peacefully. Li Yuan had already left for the Xuanwu Gate under the protection of the imperial guards.
Facing the Grandmaster, the number of people is no longer enough as a guarantee, but the role of numbers cannot be ignored.
At this time, Xuanwu Gate is a safer place.
As for the Emperor’s Majesty, let’s put it aside for now!
Just halfway through, shouts of killing broke out, and Lin Yijiang and others even came to kill them.
"Xiao Dao, let me help you!"
Fortunately, at this moment, an angry old man appeared and protected Li Yuan personally.
"Bad Sword" Yue Shan.
Just as Li Yuan showed a reassuring expression, he saw Yue Shan turn around and see a Taoist priest with a clumsy face approaching him with his hands behind his back, as if he was flying in the sky.
"Ning Daoqi!"
Yue Shan shouted out the name, jumped up and jumped out.
The domineering sword was slashed out.
The sword shattered.
The tyrant sword dies.
It was a very simple death.
Due to this heroic sacrifice, Li Yuan was defended by tens of thousands of imperial guards.
But this doesn't bring him the slightest sense of security.
Because masters came out one after another from all directions, countless masters swarmed in to guard every important road in the palace.
Xuanwu Sect, which was once the strongest, has become a trap in a jar.
"Who is it!"
Li Yuan knew that without internal response, this would never have happened.
"Shimin, is that you?"
Then he saw Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan from a distance without saying a word. Next to him was Li Jiancheng who was captured alive.
No need to say more.
Just capture the city.
"Father, don't panic! I'm here to help you!"
Just as the battle between the two sides was about to begin, Li Yuanji led the imperial guards and a group of masters recruited around him to come.
Li Yuanji was not controlled.
Li Shimin was not controlled because Gu She was afraid of the possible existence of the true dragon spirit, but Li Yuanji was not qualified.
But equally, if he wants to turn the tide, he is even less qualified.
The influx of thousands of guards into the battle only caused some trouble for the academy army. Under the luxurious lineup,
Seeing Lin Yijiang and Dugu Feng rushing over at the same time, Li Yuanji first turned his head in fear, then suddenly his eyes turned red and shouted: "Arrest them, arrest all the people in the academy, from now on
After that, there will be no more homework and no monthly exams!"
Dugu Feng showed sympathy.
During the first monthly exam, the child prepared cheat sheets all night before the exam. As a result, he was searched out before even entering the exam room. The second senior brother did not blame him. He just invited his parents and went back to where he was hung up and beaten by Li Yuan.
During the second monthly exam, he paid a lot of money to bribe the classmates in the front row, hoping to use his eyesight to learn from others. However, after entering the exam room, the original order was messed up and redone, and Li Yuanji handed in a blank paper.
, went back and was hung up and beaten by Li Yuan again.
The third time...
The fourth time...
Every time he took the monthly exam, Li Yuanji had a new cheating method. He was discovered every time and was hung up every time.
After a year, he felt tired and dropped out of school.
He hates the academy.
I hate being beaten even more.
But now the two most hated factors have converged.
The Academy came and beat him.
When Lin Yijiang defeated all the masters he recruited around him, Li Yuanji sat down on the ground, tears finally bursting out of his eyes: "I hate homework, I hate exams."
When Dugu Feng came to Li Yuanji, he was finally able to say condescendingly: "Okay, okay, if you don't like learning, don't learn. It's not the only way, right?"
Li Yuanji looked at her with tears in his eyes: "Senior, are you telling the truth?"
Dugu Feng patted his head: "Of course, think about it, I skipped so many classes, why can I still graduate?"
Li Yuanji asked stupidly: "Why?"
Dugu Feng put his hands on his hips and said, "Because I am a master. Once I become a master, you can do whatever you want!"
"Wow!"
Li Yuanji burst into tears.
Life is even more hopeless.
Seeing the bloody battle, Eunuch Wei, who was beside Li Yuan, took action directly to capture Li Yuan.
Eunuch Wei from the Yingui sect, longed for the stars, the moon, and wanted to return to Summoner's Rift, and he finally got his wish.
The significance of the Battle of Xuanwu Gate is to gather all the masters who are loyal to Li Clan here, and then kill them all in one fell swoop, so that Shuanglong can take over the city defense as quickly as possible.
Similarly, when Li Yuan was captured, a military talisman and military order were found from the dragon robe and handed over to Li Shimin, which meant that the overall situation was decided.
Li Yuan's mother-in-law's face was still cold and serious, but deep in her eyes, there was a hint of relief that she was not even aware of.
That night, the city of Chang'an changed hands.
Three days later, Li Qin surrendered.
Pei Yuanqing's army entered the pass.
Six months and twenty-three days after the death of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.
The world will be unified again.
…
…
Luoyang City.
Under the illusion of "mirage", five machine beasts came to the sky.
Liu Wuming had anticipated the battle in Chang'an City, but was unable to stop it.
Because he decided to use the precious integration time of "Qing Emperor" in the battle between the Central Plains and the Turks!
In the confrontation between thousands of troops and horses, it is the best time for the machine beast to show its power.
And he came here just to take advantage of the chaos to rescue Gu She.
Liu Wuming had known for a long time that Gushe was trapped and had no intention of rescuing him.
Although this fairy once led him to walk on the clouds, he still had to stand aside in front of his little life.
But now, we must unite all the forces that can be united.
Liu Wuming has been observing for a long time.
The force guarding Gushe is neither weak nor strong.
It is mainly guarded by a monk with a face like a full moon who looks like a middle-aged Tang monk, and the second law enforcement team of the Bounty Guild.
According to the intelligence, that monk is the captain of the Blood Lion team, not a powerful character.
In this case, the machine beast appeared and suppressed it.
"Enemy attack!"
Wang Long's calm voice sounded, and the four-image barrier unfolded, creating a new shelter at any time and placing the Blood Monk and Gu She within it.
Wang Long believed that the backdoor team would not be so crazy as to come back to rescue them in three months this time, and would definitely go out immediately.
But what he didn't expect was that at the moment Liu Wuming activated it, a golden arm suddenly came out from the giant yellow cocoon and stabbed the blood monk in the chest.
