People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1056 The emperor ordered Li Xuan to return to Beijing

Under the clear blue sky, a pigeon hawk flew from the bank of Luoshui River, and then flew high to Mang Mountain.

Half an hour later, the dove hawk landed on the top of Mang Mountain.

The next moment, a clear mist slowly rose from the head of the dove hawk.

The moment the mist broke away from Dove Eagle, Qingwu suddenly paused and then quickly sank into Dove Eagle's body.

Immediately afterwards, a cold voice sounded: "Who?"

"It's me." A figure jumped out from the edge of the mountain.

On the top of a mountain with a radius of only two feet, there is a figure and a dove hawk facing each other.

"It's you, Sect Leader Yun." Dove Ying looked at the unfamiliar face opposite him with sharp eyes.

Although the face was unfamiliar, there was no doubt that the aura was that of Yun Hebi, the master of the Demon Sect's Hidden Ji Sect.

"I didn't expect you to have such a method." Yun Hebi looked at Dove Eagle, his voice full of surprise.

Dove Ying did not answer Yun Hebi, but just stared at him: "How did Sect Leader Yun find this place?"

"It's not difficult to find this place. The Thousand-Faced Buddha used this place many times to meet with his subordinates." Yun Hebi looked at Dove Eagle with some deep meaning.

Dove Eagle blinked: "Have you found a substitute for the Thousand-Faced Buddha?"

"There is only one." Yun Hebi admitted frankly, and then he asked: "Then why can't the substitute of Thousand-Faced Buddha find the Inanimate Way in Luoyang?"

"It turns out that Sect Leader Yun is suspicious." Dove Eagle flapped her wings and said, "Basically, our people rarely enter Chang'an and Luoyang, and those in the city rarely come out. They only act in a few fixed places, and interact with each other. There is very little communication between them, so it is difficult for outsiders to catch us?"

"Outsiders?" Yun Hebi raised his head in surprise.

There was a smile in Dovehawk's eyes, and then he said: "Those who can't even touch our heels are naturally outsiders."

"Aren't you taking the murderous path?" Yun Hebi's brows furrowed even more.

Wu Sheng Dao's main occupation is killing, and he is the most powerful killer among the demon sects.

"Of course I'm going, but not in Luoyang and Chang'an." Ge Ying's voice was a little low, and then he looked at Yun Hebi and said: "Without Tianyin Sect to support, we naturally have fewer needs, and Chang'an and Luoyang, this It’s such a troubled and treacherous place, so it’s best to stay away from it for now.”

"Stay further away?" Yun Hebi looked at Dove Eagle and asked, "Why should we stay away? Isn't this a good time to take advantage of the situation?"

"Is the Yinji Sect going to replace the Heavenly Demon Sect?" Dove Ying suddenly asked.

Yun Hebi was stunned for a moment, then said: "Such a great opportunity is the best opportunity for us to march into Chang'an and seize profits. Isn't this our usual behavior?"

Dove Ying raised his eyes and looked at Yun Hebi indifferently, and said, "Li just wants to ask, has Sect Leader Yun ever played Wu Ni?"

"I don't need to have played the Queen of Martial Arts, I just need to play better than others, Secret Guard, Qianniu Guard, Dali Temple, Taoist Sect, Buddhist Sect, and other sects of the Demon Sect." Yun Hebi's eyes showed a hint of excitement. , especially when it comes to other sects of the Demon Sect, he has an uncontrollable impulse.

"It turns out that the one who gained the greatest benefit from that battle was the Yinji Sect." Dove Ying nodded suddenly, and he finally saw the historical truth of that year clearly.

When the emperor deposed Wang Li and established Wu, the Xiao family and the Wang family fell. The Demon Sect originally relied on Empress Wu, but unfortunately, Empress Wu turned her hands into clouds and rain.

In the blink of an eye, when the forces of the Demon Sect tried to devour the Xiao family and the Wang family, Empress Wu simultaneously dispatched the Imperial Guards, Qianniu Guards and Jinwu Guards to wipe out all these Demon Sect sects.

It is indeed recorded in the official documents, and the Demon Sect that entered Chang'an did suffer heavy losses.

But in fact, Yinji Sect had already escaped before everything happened.

When other sects of the Demon Sect suffered heavy losses, they began to annex these sects.

Later, they began to rebuild these sects, but when they were rebuilt, all these people were already members of the Yinji Sect.

It was at this time that the Tianyin Sect began to rise.

Yinji Sect indirectly controlled Tianyin Sect through Wu Sheng Dao.

Empress Wu also got involved in the Demon Sect at the same time, and the Wanxiang Sect was Empress Wu's hands and feet.

More sects of the Demon Sect began to be infiltrated by Empress Wu.

As for other people who survived the battle in Chang'an, such as Xiao Tianzi, they sneaked into Mobei.

Hidden on the edge of the world, lingering, dormant and waiting.

The worst thing is that Ding Jiu has completely become Empress Wu's puppet.

Emperor Xiao's power in Mobei was gradually penetrated by the Wanxiang Sect. When Emperor Xiao discovered it, it was already too late.

But he finally discovered it.

Then he used Yun Hebi to escape from Luoyang.

Now, Dijing is about to see chaos, and they are like fish that smell the fishy smell and can't help but pounce upward.

Li Xuan didn't know what Emperor Xiao was thinking, but Yun Hebi, this guy was probably targeting Emperor Xiao.

……

"Just asking you, are you going?" Yun Hebi stared at Dove Eagle with a gloomy look.

Dove Ying smiled softly and said: "Since Sect Leader Yun wants to break into the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den, Li will naturally accompany him, but the power of Wusheng Dao must be withdrawn from Chang'an and Luoyang."

"Withdraw?" Yun Hebi's eyes jumped instantly.

Dove Ying shook his head and said: "Perhaps they have different origins. Li and Sect Leader Yun look at things from different angles. Sect Master Yun thought that this time, Chang'an Luoyang was in chaos and the opportunity lies in Chang'an Luoyang, but Li thought that all this would happen in Chang'an Luoyang." Where there’s chaos, there’s opportunity.”

Yun Hebi's movements slowed down. He looked at Dove Eagle in confusion and asked, "What opportunities does the local government have?" "When everyone goes to the center, the local authority will be freed up." Dove Eagle turned his head. Looking at Luoyang City at the bottom of the mountain, he said softly: "The center is very big, but the center is also very small. Everyone can rush in, but there is only one winner in the end. The Demon Sect can do what you did, but our Li family, aspiring to In the world, we can’t do that. At this time, we must clearly see which benefits we can win.”

Looking at Luoyang City at the foot of the mountain, Yun Hebi fell silent.

After a moment, Yun Hebi had no choice but to nod in agreement and said, "You are right, there is indeed an opportunity there..."

"There is not only an opportunity, but also the future." Dove Ying interrupted Yun Hebi, his eyes fell on Luoyang Palace, and said softly: "When the people in the center need to control the place, but find that the place is already under our control, then, they Either give up the place or transfer us to Beijing.

In this way, we can enter Beijing through the most upright means..."

"You've convinced me. Your people don't have to enter Chang'an and Luoyang, but my people have to go somewhere with you." Yun Hebi's words made Ge Ying freeze on the spot.

"you……"

"I also want to take a walk around Chang'an openly." Yun Hebi's eyes flashed with endless greed.

"You have been in a dark place for a long time. Stand under the light and be careful not to get burned by the sun." Dove Eagle said angrily.

Yun Hebi looked solemn, and then said: "But Chang'an Luoyang, you still have to accompany me."

"Then let's have a good meeting with Emperor Xiao." Dove Ying nodded.

Yun Hebi smiled and said softly: "Not only Xiao Tianzi, but also the prince."

The loser this time, besides Xiao Tianzi, will also be Li Xian.

Everyone can see through this clearly, except Li Xian himself.

"What time?" Dovehawk asked.

Yun Hebi pondered for a moment and said, "It's winter."

"Okay!" Dove Eagle nodded, and the next moment, it spread its wings and flew quickly towards Chang'an.

After a long time, Yun Hebi stood alone on the top of the mountain, looking in the direction where Dove Eagle left, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Among the clouds, the dove hawk flew high, with a solemn look in his eyes: This time, he must really kill Yun Hebi.

……

On the wide Tuotuo River, a dragon boat is parked steadily on it.

Li Xuan stood at the head of the dragon boat, looking at the Tanggula Mountain pass in the distance.

At the Tanggula Station a few miles away from Li Xuan, hundreds of Tibetan soldiers looked nervously at where Li Xuan was, but did not dare to charge forward.

Behind Li Xuan, dozens of dragon boats were parked on the lake.

Thousands of soldiers were waiting for Li Xuan's order, ready to pounce at any time.

Although the upper reaches of the Tuotuo River are wide, the water is not deep. There are many swamps and lakes in the middle, and the water is everywhere, making it extremely difficult to get up and down.

Li Xuan's presence here today means that they have not only figured out the river route along the way, but have even established enough supply points to threaten Tanggula at any time.

Li Xuan looked across the mountain pass to Tanggula Xinyi, with a sneer on her lips: "Do you think Lun Qinling will be there now?"

"Should be there." Qiu Zhenmu was the first to speak, looking at Li Xuan and said: "The scouts reported that Lunqinling has mobilized [-] sheep and cavalry, [-] Supi cavalry, and [-] Tibetan main force. I’ve been here for a month.”

Li Xuan turned to Qiu Zhenmu and asked, "In the battle at Tongtian River, we won a complete victory. What did we rely on?"

"Warship." Qiu Zhenmu answered quickly.

Li Xuan glanced at Yan Tao on one side, nodded, and said, "In that case, if you want to destroy my warship, will Qinling mobilize enough cavalry?"

"Not enough." Qiu Zhenmu shook his head slightly.

"So, now he should have returned to Luoshan and is preparing to prepare the navy." Li Xuan sneered.

Regarding Qinling's repeated losses against Li Xuan's navy, especially in the battle of Qamdo, if he has not learned his lesson, he will not be able to defend Qamdo next year.

"Chamdo is dangerous, but I am spying on the Tanggula Mountains. The troops are divided into two groups, and the reality is uncertain. On Qinling, I am determined to defend Qamdo." Li Xuan crossed Tanggula Town, her eyes fell on the Hoh Xil Mountains further away, and said softly Said: "Although Tanggula Town is important, as long as Qamdo is defended and attacked from the east and west, Tanggula Town can be retaken."

"That's it." Everyone nodded at the same time. Qiu Zhenmu asked cautiously: "Then Prince, when will we capture Tanggula Town?"

"After the last rain in late autumn, we capture Tanggula Town. When the frost comes and the river freezes, the infantry behind can be mobilized. I would like to see if Qinling dares to fight with me on the ice. "Li Xuan sneered. The next moment, he waved his hand and countless dragon boats turned around and returned to Tongtian River.

……

A huge stone tablet was erected in Chengduo County. It was engraved with Yonghui Laws, a total of twelve chapters and five hundred lines.

Zhang Da'an stood under the stone monument, watching Li Xuan return on horseback, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, is there an order for your Majesty to return to Beijing immediately?"

"Huh?" Li Xuan turned over and dismounted, looked at Zhang Daan and asked, "What happened? You are in such a hurry?"

"I don't know." Zhang Daan shook his head.

The reports of the Turks' assassination of the emperor have been sent over, but those are Xue Rengui's matters and have nothing to do with them.

"I originally planned to make a fuss in Tanggula Mountain, but it seems I can only leave it to Zhang Gong and Brother Xiaojie." Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh softly, and the storm in Chang'an finally affected him.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything will be done according to His Majesty's decision." Zhang Da'an paused for a moment and said, "Changzhou's business is booming this year, the food and grass are plentiful, and the front line will be much easier."

Li Xuan shook his head: "It's not enough. Next year's war will require at least half a year's supply of [-] cavalry. In Guangchang Province, only one-third is enough."

"The rest depends on the prince's trip to Chang'an." Zhang Daan smiled and handed over his hands, while Li Xuan was speechless.
