Infinite war begins with Cao thief.

Chapter 421 Dragon Palace Fire Spirit and Island Chain

Dayu actually did not have much demand for famous generals from the Sui and Tang dynasties.

As for famous generals, Dayu, who is known as "Han Baiwei Huo", has already obtained three.

Among them, Han Xin grew up under beatings, while Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were found in the last few years of the Qin world.

In addition, other military generals in the Temple of Martial Arts include Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, Li Mu, Lian Po, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Zhang Liao, Lu Xun, Peng Yue, Zhou Yafu, Deng Ai, Lu Meng, Lu Kang, and Du Yu.

For example, Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Han Shizhong, Meng Gong, Wei Liao, Xiang Yan, Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, etc., their original foundation and Dong Huang's dedicated training also made them as strong as or even stronger than many so-called military generals in the Temple of Martial Arts. They are all talented commanders who can dominate a region alone, and even the makers of national strategies with an overall view of the situation.

If Dayu established its own Martial Temple, Jia Xu would be the first in the name. And he would also be the first in the Confucian Temple.

Others such as Zhang He, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Yu Jin, the Xiahou brothers, Zhang Ren, Wang Ping, the Eight Tiger Riders, etc., also have the strength of first-class commanders.

In addition, there are a large number of second-rate generals and second-generation generals.

Dayu really has no shortage of famous generals.

In particular, there is no shortage of some traitorous generals.

To be honest, the military spirit of this era is not as good as that of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.

During the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, generals would at most serve two lords. Except for Lu Bu and Liu Bei, there were few who defected to others multiple times.

This is why Lu Bu’s “slave of three surnames” became so famous.

The military generals at the end of the Sui Dynasty continued the trend since the Five Barbarians Invasion of China that whoever had soldiers could become a king. Many of them surrendered, rebelled, and changed sides with almost no psychological pressure.

For them, they are loyal to themselves first, then to their family, and finally to their lord.

Loyalty to the lord is often limited and comes after family and oneself.

In addition, during this era, the conflicts between the Guanlong Group and the Shandong Group were very intense. The behemoths such as the Five Gates and Seven Wang, which were a continuation of the aristocratic politics of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, were also stirring up trouble and trying to seize control of the country in the way they were best at.

It is worth mentioning that the Longxi Li family and the Zhaojun Li family among the Five Surnames and Seven Ancestral Families are actually the same family of Li Mu and Li Xin. Li Mu is also the direct ancestor of the Zhaojun Li family.

Of course, the worlds are different. Theoretically, Li Mu under Dong Huang has no blood relationship with Li Mu in this world, but Dong Huang still wants to let Li Mu try out the weight of these two Lis one day.

In history, Shan Xiongxin was suspected to be a slave of three surnames and was eventually killed by Li Tang. Of course, there may be other reasons, such as the mutual distrust between the Guanlong Group and the Shandong Group, Shan Xiongxin had always been against the Guanlong Group, and the leaders of the Guanlong Group did not want to keep this fierce general.

Historically, the Li Tang group had an attitude of annihilating the Shandong group. After defeating Dou Jiande and killing him, they forcibly recruited Dou Jiande's former generals Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, Cao Zhan, Gao Yaxian, Wang Xiaohu and others to Chang'an. Fan Yuan and others were angry about Dou Jiande's killing, and also saw that none of his subordinates could be saved after Wang Shichong surrendered, so they supported Liu Heita's rebellion.

Historically, Shan Xiongxin was also killed by Li Tang as an accomplice of Wang Shichong after Wang Shichong surrendered.

At that time, Xu Shiji had already surrendered to Li Tang, and no amount of pleas from all sides could save Shan Xiongxin's life.

However, things change over time. Shan Xiongxin’s eleventh-generation grandsons Shan Xing, Shan Wang, Shan Mao, and Shan Sheng joined the Huang Chao Uprising and were known as the "Four Heroes of the Huang Army", dealing a heavy blow to the Tang Dynasty.

Dayu's attitude towards generals like Shan Xiongxin is that if they can be used, it would be best, but if they cannot be used, at least they should not be left to others.

In history, Shan Xiongxin was a fierce man, and it is said that he almost killed Li Shimin.

Faced with the "invitation" from elite soldiers and generals after they broke into the city, Shan Xiongxin had no choice but to surrender with his family.

Otherwise, he would never see his family again.

He was also forced to agree to write a letter to Xu Shiji, inviting him to join the "Liangshan Army".

Seeing that Xiang Yan was very interested in Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin started talking about some interesting stories about Xu Shiji, and then the conversation turned to Xu Shiji's sisters.

"Xu Shiji's elder sister Xu Hui, also known by her courtesy name Zongchi, is a beautiful girl with a pair of bright eyes. She is also very intelligent and has a beautiful body. Two years ago, she married Wang Hong, the magistrate of Linqing County, from the Wang family of Langya..."

Shan Xiongxin talked freely.

When talking about Xu Hui's appearance and charm, Shan Xiongxin's eyes lit up.

Back then, Shan Xiongxin also had feelings for Xu Hui, but unfortunately his family background was too low and he was not a good match for the Xu family.

Although he and Xu Shiji swore to live and die together, they were not yet qualified for marriage.

"A married woman? Exceptionally beautiful?"

Xiang Yan suddenly noticed it.

So Xiang Yan changed his itinerary and personally led Shan Xiongxin and an elite force to attack Linqing County.

Linqing County Magistrate Wang Hong "died bravely for his country", while Xu Hui and others were robbed and taken away.

This scene also made Shan Xiongxin both annoyed and loyal, because he realized that this army was really strong! Especially the armor, it was really amazing.

The only drawback of this set of armor is that it has high requirements for baggage and logistics. It needs to carry a large amount of nutrient solution and spare regeneration cores. Basically, the regeneration core will be replaced every three hours, and the replaced regeneration core will be injected with special nutrient solution.

If overused, the regenerated core will age and become useless.

But even so, these armors have surpassed this era. Shan Xiongxin begged Xiang Yan to give him a set of armor.

Xiang Yan naturally wouldn't be stingy.

The repeated actions of Xiang Yan and Cheng Yu's group naturally aroused the vigilance of the Sui Dynasty. However, on the one hand, there were successive floods in Shandong and roads were difficult to travel. On the other hand, Cheng Yu's group did not raise a unified banner, but disguised themselves as various thieves, so they ultimately failed to attract enough attention from the Sui court.

The only correct move made by the Sui Dynasty was to increase Zhang Xutuo's military power.

Cheng Yu was not in a hurry to have a decisive battle with Zhang Xutuo. Instead, he adopted the strategy of surrounding the cities from the countryside, widely supporting volunteer armies in various places and focusing on attacking the cities and armies that were agents of war.

Moreover, after capturing a city, they would generally just execute corrupt officials and open up granaries to release grain. When they encountered a large number of Sui troops, they would take the initiative to withdraw, giving people the illusion that they did not dare to fight the Sui army. Sometimes they would even take the initiative to sell the actions of other rebel forces to Zhang Xutuo.

As a result, Zhang Xutuo's reputation became more and more famous, and Cheng Yu's troops became stronger and stronger.

Just wait for Yang Guang to march to Guangdong next year, and Cheng Yu will turn Shandong upside down.

Cheng Yu even planned to take over Wagang first and become the leader of the Wagang stronghold.

While Cheng Yu's army was taking action, Dayu was not idle either.

On the one hand, Dayu was managing Liaodong, using space cities to annex Liaodong City, Wangxian City, and Shabei City as a fulcrum for fighting against Yang Guang and for future conquests of the grassland and the northeast; and through some small favors and moving the nobles of various tribes to Wangxian City, it stabilized the hearts of the Goryeo king and people.

On the other hand, Dayu also marched towards Ryukyu, and planned to capture the key locations of Nanjing and the South China Sea Barbarians before the end of the one-year deadline for placing cities, and release the cities as a fulcrum for future strategies.

In fact, under the premise of this grand strategy, Ryukyu's position is not prominent. It is only the appearance of the three sisters Fu Jun'er that makes Dong Huang realize that there may be some strange things in this world, such as the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.

Dong Huang was not familiar with The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty. He had only read a certain fan fiction by Bian Bufu and knew that it featured three generations of a grandparent and grandchildren with ageless looks.

Grandma Zhu Yuyan is the leader of the Yinkui Sect, the leader of the evil sect. Her mother Shan Meixian is known as Madam Dongming, and her daughter Shan Wanjing is known as Princess Dongming.

The Dongming Sect where Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing are located is in Ryukyu. In The Legend of the Twin Dragons, the Dongming Sect seems to be famous for its expertise in making weapons and armor, and all major forces have requests for help from the Dongming Sect.

This is a magical setting.

Dong Huang did not take it seriously at first. He just regarded Ryukyu as a small ant beside his couch, thinking that the army could easily destroy it.

As a result, something unexpected happened. After seeing the warships that covered the sky, the Ryukyu people actually cast a spell, summoning the phantom of a dragon to stir up trouble, trying to overturn the fleet of Dayu.

Fortunately, Dong Huang, Himiko, Zhou Tai and others were all in the fleet at that time. As soon as Dong Huang's Sun Bird appeared, it directly dispelled the wind and rain, and opened its mouth to eat the evil dragon. The evil dragon hurriedly dived into the sea, but was caught by Zhou Tai, who condensed the form of Xuanwu, and was eaten alive.

The Dayu army was able to land quickly.

After landing, there were no surprises.

The resistance forces were quickly eliminated, and Madam Dongming Shan Meixian and Princess Dongming Shan Wanjing were captured by Dayu.

"Whatever your majesty wants, the Dongming Sect will never keep it for yourself. Please spare us, the people of the wilderness!"

Shan Meixian kept a very humble attitude.

Shan Meixian is a beauty, wearing gorgeous clothes and having long hair, with an elegant temperament, graceful and noble demeanor, and even a hint of eccentricity.

She was the previous saint of the Yinkui sect of the demonic sect. She was first-rate in both appearance and qualifications. Unfortunately, her innocence was ruined by Bian Bufu, and her mother Zhu Yuyan did not stand for her, so she ran to the Dongming sect to fight.

The reason why the Dongming Sect was able to live far away overseas and not be disturbed by the forces of the Central Plains was not only because of the natural dangers of the sea, but also because Ryukyu enshrined a divine dragon, or to be more precise, a dragon.

In fact, in the history of Blue Planet, Ryukyu has always had the belief in Dragon Palace.

"I heard that the Dongming Sect is good at forging weapons?"

Dong Huang was a little curious.

How could a small country like Ryukyu, with neither sufficient human resources nor sufficient fuel and iron ore, be good at casting weapons?

"Your Majesty, the Dongming Sect inherited the skills of an overseas immortal and is very good at refining weapons. Unfortunately, most of the inheritance has been lost, and now all they can forge are mortal weapons."

Shan Meixian knows everything and tells it all.

"Ancient Immortal?"

Dong Huangyao was curious: "Does it have a name?"

"The Holy Mother of Fire, a disciple of Immortal Duobao. There is the Holy Mother of Fire's temple here, which contains an eternal flame and a large amount of materials. It's a pity that the temple was severely damaged and not much inheritance was left."

Shan Meixian said the name of an immortal whose powerfulness she didn’t know.

Dong Huang's body suddenly trembled.

"Lead the way. If it is true as you said, I will give you and your daughter a great opportunity."

Dong Huang laughed loudly and summoned the true form of the Sun Bird to protect him. He wrapped Jiuer around his waist and Tamamonomae, whose true form was revealed, lay on his shoulder. He registered the two generals Heng and Ha as his guards and followed Shan Meixian in.

It turned out that Shan Meixian was not lying.

There is indeed an ancient immortal's dojo in Ryukyu. There are inscriptions on the dojo that reveal the identity of its former owner. Unfortunately, everything has changed and it has become a place for the Dongming Sect to forge iron.

"Duobao Taoist and Holy Mother of Fire Spirit..."

Dong Huang's expression was somewhat complicated.

These two people are characters in "The Investiture of the Gods" and the Honghuang novel.

In the world of Daqin, there appeared a human emperor who seemed to be from the myth of mountains and seas. In this world, there appeared a background board that seemed to be from the primitive times. Dong Huang's heart was trembling.

Dong Huang knew very well that the mission world in the infinite war space could not be applied to the known history or plot. Considering that the Buddhism in this world seemed to be just like that, the Jiejiao might not be much better.

Now the question is, according to legend, the East China Sea is the territory of Jiejiao, so where are all those fairy islands?

Is there something else to the east of the ocean?
Then there is the belief in Dragon Palace and dragons. Could it be that there really is a Dragon Palace in this sea?

Dong Huang couldn't help but take out his Ruyi Jingu Bang and danced with it twice.

It is a genuine golden hoop stick.

After all, there was a mother and daughter in front of him, and Dong Huang could not do anything that would attract the attention of the Cyber ​​Saint.

At this moment, Dong Huang had an idea. That is, after he unified Kyushu, perhaps he could organize a team to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures?

The Tang Monk is played by Chen Heshang, because his name contains the word "monk"!
Let Wutugu play the role of Zhu Bajie. With his body size, he definitely eats more than Zhu Bajie.

The role of Sha Seng is handed over to Hoshigaki Kisame. He is an honest man who works hard and never complains, so he is the best choice!
As for Sun Wukong, Dong Huang also obtained the summoning beast of the Sarutobi family in the previous world, so he could temporarily find a monkey to train.

The White Dragon Horse can be played by Jueying’s descendants.

The gods who protect the four people who are seeking scriptures, such as the Six Dings, Six Jias, Four Directions and Jie Di, will be played by Jia Xu with an army of five or six million...

As for the destination of the journey, it will be the Kingdom of Women...

Closer to home.

Because of the relationship between the Dragon Palace and the ancient immortal heritage, Dong Huang left a space city here and transferred Pu Yuan and others here to study.

This city, together with Wangxiancheng of Korea and Dongdu of Japan, constitute the core of the first island chain of Dayu.

This first island chain is mainly used to defend against possible ancient immortal forces outside the East China Sea. Of course, once we have time in the future, we will take the initiative to expand into the East China Sea.

Since we are going to establish the first island chain, several other key locations cannot be left behind.

It is a pity that, both in history and in this world, many of the overseas areas in the southwest and southeast of Kyushu are tribal slave-based barbaric countries, and Dong Huang can only save them with difficulty.

Dong Huang plans to deploy three more space cities in these places one after another.

In this way, except for the most important city, Haojing, which will remain in Jinling, the qualifications of Dayu's ten cities have been deployed.

Of course, Dong Huang still has a way to expand the scope of the city. Dong Huang plans to deploy more cities of Yingzhou war agents in overseas countries, and then kill all these war agents. In this way, their cities will be reasonably inherited by Dong Huang.

At that time, Dong Huang, relying on his strong financial advantage, will immediately upgrade these cities into giant cities.

In this way, Dayu's South China Sea will be as solid as a rock.

Deploying the city is a later matter. The most important thing now is to study the casting techniques passed down by the ancient immortals.

"Please Madam personally make a spear for me!"

Dong Huang tested.

Shan Meixian couldn't help but reveal a hint of disgust on her face.

Forging weapons by herself seemed to her like a menial job.

But facing Dong Huang's majesty, she could only stretch out her delicate hands.

Originally the setting of this volume was very grand, but now it can only be accelerated again and again.
