Ji Tang

Chapter 1153 Breaking the city?Going into town?
"There is a big river in Shendu, the Indus River, which runs through the territory of Shendu. As long as you take a boat all the way north, you can reach Tochara in a short time."

"There are not many of them. They can pretend to be merchants and go east without much danger."

Li Chengqian still hasn't figured it out, why is it that starting from the sea is still closer?You must know that starting from Chang'an and going west, you basically take a straight line.The journey on the sea requires at least a large circle, which is half as long as the distance from Chang'an to Anxi.

But arriving in half the time it takes by land?How can this be?

"What a good boy, he is more courageous than his father. What a pity!"

Li Shimin had already figured out why. The sea route could be traveled day and night, and because it relied solely on wind power, the speed itself was much faster than that on land. It was not surprising that they could travel half the distance before Ji Qing and the others when traveling day and night.

It’s just that this kid is so brave that he dares to take this road that no one has ever walked before?
If it really succeeds in reaching Anxi, then Datang will have one more sea channel.There is also the Indus River, which runs straight through the entire territory of India and can carry large ships, which is incredible.

Once this path is realized, the Tang Dynasty's unified knowledge of the Western Regions will reach a new level.

But this matter is not urgent. Although Shendu has many gangs, it is not easy to deal with. Let’s wait until we have the opportunity to talk about it in the future!
"Keep this in mind, and the exploration of the divine poison must be upgraded. This place is very important from now on, so don't be careless!"

"My son understands!"

Li Shimin looked at the map of Shendu, suddenly thought of something, and pondered: "If I remember correctly, Ji Song's other two disciples are in Shendu?"

He carefully nodded for the next location. Li Chengqian stepped forward and saw the words 'Landuo Temple' coming into view!
"This should be the place where Master Xuanzang lectures in the capital of the gods. Are you saying they are also here?"

Li Shimin smiled: "Otherwise? His second disciple is obsessed with classics from all over the world. How could he not come here if he becomes poisoned? That kid Jize went north after being poisoned, so he may not have the intention to find his two senior brothers!"

"Interesting, really fun!"

"The four major disciples of Ji Song have gathered together, plus one of his sons. None of these five people can save money. Needless to say, each of them is capable. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the leaders of the Tang Dynasty. Now we are gathering in Anxi. Ha. Ha ha!"

Li Shimin suddenly laughed, as if he had thought of something happy.

"Father."

Li Shimin stopped laughing, and finally looked at the poisonous Ganges River Basin for a long time, and said, "Okay, as long as they are here, even if there are changes in the Western Region, there will be no big trouble."

After saying that, he hummed a little tune and lay down again, completely ignoring Li Chengqian who looked confused.
-
A manor outside the city of Magadha.

In the past few days, Wang Xuance and Ji Xiancheng had been outside the city on the pretext of visiting the magnificent scenery of Magadha Kingdom, but in fact they were to receive the Tang Dynasty Navy fleet arriving from the sea.

Since that day, Master Ziguang led people to search for the Tang Dynasty Navy fleet, which lasted for three months, and finally discovered the small boat where the navy scouts came ashore in an unexpected situation.

If Shizi hadn't only learned Chinese, he would have been silenced by the Tang army immediately.

After some explanations from Master Ziguang, the captain finally agreed to take them to the navy station.

Since defeating the Great Cannibal Fleet, the Tang Dynasty Nanhai Navy Fleet has been exploring westward. Now it has reached as far as the Great Cannibal's territory. However, in order not to alert the enemy, they just explored it from a distance and began to return.

But on the big island not far from Shenzhen, that is, Sri Lanka, they established a naval station here, and stationed here was Shen Zhen, the vice-admiral of the Nanhai Navy Fleet of the Tang Dynasty.

When he learned that Wang Xuance and Ji Xiancheng had sent them, they were immediately shocked.

However, he could not rely solely on these monks, so he sent people to the meeting point. After several days of sailing, he finally met Wang Xuance and others. When the soldiers returned, Shen Zhen quickly sent people to contact them.

And tonight is the time they agreed to go ashore to raid Rajagaha.

Wang Xuance, who was anxiously waiting for the naval fleet on the shore, held a telescope and saw dozens of black shadows heading this way like giant beasts in the sea under the moonlight. He was immediately overjoyed!
"Sir, look, our people are here!"

Ji Xiancheng was stunned, and quickly grabbed the telescope and looked. Sure enough, more than ten giant ships were slowly sailing this way!
"Master Ziguang, is there any movement in Wangha City?"

When it really comes, Ji Xiancheng has to play it safe first. They are here to make a surprise attack, not to fight a tough battle. Once the city is on guard, they will not dare to take the lives of the soldiers at risk!

They have their purpose in helping Master Jiexian, but if the cost is too high, it's not worth it.If they really reach an irreversible situation, they will take a boat back to their country as soon as possible.

They are not so selfless as to help the vicious people fight the war, now they are just doing what they need!

Soon, the big ship docked. This was originally a deep-water port, but now it was abandoned by Moro. However, it was no problem to dock the ship, but you could only take a smaller boat to get ashore.

"Wang Xuance, Ji Xiancheng, where are these two bastards? I miss you so much! Why don't you come out to greet you, Uncle Shen!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Wang Xuance and Ji Xiancheng had dark expressions on their faces. Without looking at the contorted faces of the people behind them, Wang Xuance went up and punched the bastard.

He said fiercely: "You bastard, how come you're not dead yet? It's really a disaster for thousands of years!"

"Bah! You bastard, you cursed me to death as soon as we met. What are you thinking about?"

After saying that, he laughed loudly, hugged the two of them, and said with a loud laugh: "Damn it, you two bastards ran far enough, and you're all here. I didn't believe it when I heard that you were here, but I didn't expect that it was really you." "

The three of them were excited for a moment. It had been several years since they last saw each other.Since returning from the voyage, they have been separated.Unexpectedly, we met again in a foreign land thousands of miles away. It was really difficult to live in this world!
"Okay, now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Master Ziguang must have told you the specific situation. What do you think?"

The three of them came to a deserted place, and Shen Zhen said seriously: "You two tell me, what do you want to do? Help them fight, you can't think of it."

Ji Xiancheng and Wang Xuance looked at each other and said solemnly: "We won't hide it from you now. Helping them fight is just incidental. We want to open up the passage to Anxi, otherwise who cares whether they live or die?"

"Yes, after all, we don't have any foundation in Shendu. Once we become strong and show off, we are afraid that it will cause groups to attack. This is not what we want to see. These days, we are investigating the news about Shendu. There are many city-states here, and The Kingdom of Magadha is the most powerful country in Shendu. If the old king had not died and had no heirs, his power would now be enough to suppress Shendu."

"Now the Kingdom of Magadha has just been divided, and the forces in various regions are not very strong. What we have to do is to quickly capture the city of Rajgir, choose a royal son to inherit the throne, use the emperor to command the princes, cut the mess with a sharp knife, and quickly integrate Magadha country. Then coerce the Magadha Kingdom to go north to participate in the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Dashi, and hit the Dashi people from behind. Reduce the pressure on Xiancheng! "

Shen Zhen stopped the two of them stupidly, as if he was frightened.

With trembling hands, he pointed at them: "Are you, are you crazy, or am I crazy? Or is the world crazy? Attack other countries' cities, help poisonous people reorganize the country, and threaten the emperor to order the princes? In the end? Want to coerce the entire country to go to war for the Tang Dynasty and the cannibals?"

"Can the Great Eater agree? What if they don't recognize it then?"

Hearing this, Wang Xuance smiled arrogantly and said domineeringly: "Don't admit it? How dare they! I can help them reintegrate the country, and I can also make them irreversible."

"When the army is in hand, are you still afraid that they won't submit?"

That's right, he had planned it for a long time. He would probably be able to fight until the end of the year of the monkey by relying on his own poisonous people to lead the troops.Otherwise, the current situation would not have been formed.

This time, he, Xiancheng, Shen Zhen, plus the 500 people he brought, as well as the Tang military generals, don't you believe that so many people can't control the army?
The strong ones in the army are respected. As long as we win a few battles, are we still afraid that the army will not obey?
At that time, it will no longer be a question of whether they agree or not. Do they dare to admit it?Just kill him directly. "You guys"

Shen Zhen was dumbfounded, who the hell are these people!
Mr. Hao, what kind of evildoer have you taught?

But he had to admit that it was indeed feasible. Not only was it feasible, it was also crazy!
Can you do this without being crazy?

"Just tell me if it's okay, or if it's not okay, we'll do it ourselves. Without you, wouldn't we be able to do it?" Wang Xuance said with a dark face.

"do not!"

Shen Zhen reacted, rubbed his hands, and said with a mean smile: "How can I miss such a fun thing? Damn it, you are fighting in someone else's country, you still have to lead someone else's army, and after that, you have to lead someone else's army. Fighting for yourself. Grandma’s, it’s exciting just thinking about it!”

As for fear?
Stop being ridiculous!

Shendu is too far away from the Tang Dynasty. Even if the court knew about it, they would just treat it as a story.Even if you really knew the details, it would be a matter of great disgrace to His Majesty.As long as it's not detrimental to Datang, we can do whatever we want.

What's more, there is Mr. Xi standing in front of them, and they are afraid of taking a risk.

It's not a large-scale attack on Shendu, it's just sending He and 3000 people to take over the army of Magadha. It's no big deal.

"It's not too late, let's take action immediately. If Moro is alerted, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of damage."

Wang Xuance made a decision immediately.

"Moro? Is that the guy who got shot and ran away? Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I'll keep it until the end of the battle!"

Speaking of Moro, Shen Zhen looked disdainful. He was just a defeated general. He was a coward, but he hadn't noticed it yet!
"You can't be careless. We are outsiders here after all. Although Landa Temple supports us as an internal response, we have to be on guard, at least not to cause too much damage, otherwise it will be difficult for His Majesty to explain."

"Okay, okay, I understand. You just lead the way and see how I break the city." Shen Zhen said with an impatient look.

As the largest religion in the history of God, how could Buddhism not have the ability to protect religion?
Not far from the east gate of the city, there were monks lurking there with weapons in hand. In anticipation of the arrival of the army from outside the city, they responded inside and outside, opened the city gate, and welcomed the army into the city.

On the other hand, Moro, who is as timid as a mouse, is nothing to worry about!
Time soon came to the end of the night and the dawn had not appeared. This was the sleepiest time of the day. The soldiers on the city wall were already drowsy, and some were even leaning against the city wall and snoring like thunder.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot into the sky outside the city, and the monks waiting inside the city suddenly lost their sleep!

"Quickly, open the city gate quickly and welcome the army into the city. Whether we can regain Magadha and restore the prosperity of Harsha Dynasty and our religion will become strong again depends on today."

"Follow me, Buddha, to kill demons!"

"Kill the devil!"

"Kill!"

"."

This place is very close to the city wall. It used to be a believer's home. After everyone rushed out of the room, they quickly arrived in front of the city gate.To everyone's surprise, the city gate was already in chaos at this time, and the soldiers defending the city were running around like headless flies, without any organization at all.

They shouted a killing sound at this time, and the soldiers guarding the city gate suddenly became like birds and beasts!

"Quick, open the city gate!"

The monks didn't care about anything else and hurriedly asked everyone to open the city gate.

In fact, after the signal was released, Ji Xiancheng and others had led the army not far from the city gate.Everyone thought they were going to experience a big battle, but before they could rush to the city gate, they saw the city gate drawbridge open?
"Two of you, are you sure this is not a trap?"

Shen Zhen's whole body was numb. The city gate opened before he even reached the city wall?After not seeing each other for a few years, have these two become so rough at work?

"Look, it's ours!"

Master Shiziguang said in surprise.

In fact, he was also wondering, according to their understanding, they had to at least fight, right?But it seemed that when they sent the signal, there was no delay at all and they opened the city gate directly.

How can this be?

But it is impossible for the monks to betray them, and we have to believe that this is true.

"Whatever he means, go to the city!"

Wang Xuance gritted his teeth and said, now he is riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off. If it is fake, it will be fine. If it is real, when the army in the city reacts, nothing will happen to them.

"Damn it, I believed in ghosts, that's why I brought people to do this to you!"

Shen Zhen looked helpless. Such a battle had never been fought before. Was there no defenders in the city at all?
sonorous~
Pulling out the horizontal sword, Shen Zhen shouted loudly: "Yu Chi Baolin!"

"The end is here!"

A tall figure appeared in front of everyone. When he saw the person clearly, Wang Xuance was stunned: "Uncle Baolin? Why are you here?"

"Let's wait until the battle is over!"

Yuchi Baolin glanced at them and said expressionlessly.

Shen Zhen ignored them and said directly: "Quickly take your soldiers to take over the city gate, but don't go deep, investigate first!"

"promise!"

After saying that, he led a thousand soldiers and galloped towards the city gate, but the next scene left them stunned.

Only a few screams were heard, and then there was no sound at all. Then there was chaos in the city, with various shouts coming and going, and firelight flickering from time to time, as if the city was on fire.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, a navy officer came up to him with a strange look on his face. He glanced at his master, Master Ziguang, and said with a look of disgust, "General, you are fortunate to have fulfilled your duty. Captain Yuchi ordered me to retaliate."

"The city gate has been captured. There is no danger. General, please give us an order. What should we do next?"
