Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

This wave, two marquises, six earls, and eleven viscounts, so happy!

"Let them in."

After arranging the rewards for the generals, Kou Zhong gave his attendants a look.

The attendant immediately shouted: "Your Majesty has an edict, ordering Li Gui, Guan Jin, Liang Shuo, Li Yun, An Xiuren, and Cao Zhen to come to the palace to have an audience."

"Xuan!!!"

The golden melon warriors on duty outside the hall all shouted loudly.

Followed by.

A group of plainly dressed figures walked into the Qinzheng Hall with restraint.

717

"Sin will pay homage to the King of Chu!"

As soon as they entered the palace, Li Gui and others immediately knelt down and saluted.

"You can abandon the darkness and turn to the light to save the people in Hexi from the suffering of war. Who dares to speak out?"

"Get up first."

Looking down, Kou Zhong said gently.

"Thank you king!"

Li Gui and others then stood up and cautiously raised their heads to look at the hall.

Sure enough, the figure of Kou Zhong, who was wearing a royal crown, a handsome face, and no anger or authority, suddenly caught their attention.

In the past, I only heard that the King of Chu was a handsome young man, but when I saw him today, he was indeed well-deserved. Compared with him, middle-aged people such as Li Gui were literally living in the cracks of the earth.

"Read the imperial edict!"

"promise!"

The attendant on the side took out another piece of yellow silk and read loudly: "The king's edict!"

"I am bestowing Marquis Li Gui with the title of Wuwei. I will reward him with a palace, ten thousand gold coins, and thousands of pieces of silk and satin."

"Give Guan Jin, Liang Shuo, Li Yun, An Xiuren, and Cao Zhen the title of Qingche Commandery, and reward them with a mansion, three thousand pieces of gold, and a hundred pieces of silk and satin."

"Feng Guan Jin and Liang Shuo are the generals on the left and right of Long Xiang, Li Yun and An Xiuren are the generals on the left and right of Ying Yang, and Cao Zhen is the right minister of the household department."

The voice fell.

Li Gui and others were stunned for a moment, and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

None of them expected that the rewards given to them by the Chu State would be so heavy. Li Gui himself received the title of Marquis, and the others were all the sixth-class light chariot captains, as well as the rank of General of the Guard and the rank of Right Minister of Household Affairs.

"Order the Marquis of Xiangyang and Lu Shi to join the army in vain, and the two armies of Longxiang and Yingyang will immediately go to the southwest to pacify the Cuan tribe, Pubu, Baiziguo, Piaoguo, Chenla, Tuoluobodi, Johor, Champa and other countries , to recover the entire territory of Southwest and Tiannan."

"Order the Zhenjiang Navy to be changed to the Nanyang Navy immediately. Fan Hu, Lian Ming, and Tiekui will be appointed as generals and commanders of the left and right navy respectively. They will be stationed in Ngee An County on the same day to conquer Lu Song, Sri Lanka, Heling, etc. country, to regain the Nanyang Islands."

"Order the Donghai Navy to attack Liuqiu and Japan from now on and recover the islands offshore the East China Sea."

"Order Yuhanghou and Zhibing Dianjun Shen Luoyan to lead the Yiwei and Xiongqu armies to Suzhou immediately to pacify Dangxiang, Jialiang, Fuguo, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Niboluo, Dabolu, Xiangxiong, Nuguo, etc. The plateau countries opened up their territories and expanded their territories.”

"Order the Marquis of Xingyang and the military counselor Jijiu Hou Xibai to lead the Baotao and Qianniu armies to march north, pacify Guo Zihe and Liu Wuzhou, and recover the Hetao."

Five royal edicts were issued simultaneously, causing the entire palace to boil.

In the Chu State, the most fearful thing is not that there will be a war, but that there is no war. Only by fighting and achieving military merit can they be promoted to a higher position.

"The last general takes orders!"

Xu Xingzhi, Liu Rengui, Zhou Shaofan, Shen Luoyan, and Hou Xibai all spoke out to take orders at the same time.

Li Gui and others who had just joined on the side looked at this scene and couldn't help but be touched. With such a simple and neat way of doing things, it is no wonder that Chu State was able to seize so much territory in such a short period of time. It probably relied on the word efficiency. .

Chapter 1: Continuous calculations, struggles from the four gates!

"Master Ling!"

"In addition to the three armies of Yulin, Yulin and Jinwu, there are another 20 people in Lantian camp, forming two armies of Shesheng and Xiaoqi."

"The Shesheng Army is an archer cavalry, each armed with a horn bow and a five-foot Miao sword."

"The heroic cavalry army is divided into light cavalry and heavy cavalry. Among them, the light cavalry is equipped with three-edged spears and riding crossbows, and the heavy cavalry is equipped with ten thousand armored cavalry."

"The required war horses will be transported to Guanzhong one after another from Beidi, Xihai, and Yiwuhui."

Looking down, Kou Zhong's voice became extremely low, and there was a faint chilling feeling.

Everyone present was shocked. There were 20 cavalry and [-] armored cavalry. In all dynasties, except for the country established after the Hu people took over, not even the Sui Dynasty had such a large number of cavalry. This was the plan. Will the Central Plains, Youzhou, Turks, Khitan and other nomadic peoples be wiped out together?

"promise!"

Xu Ziling responded loudly.

"By the way, if Marquis Wuwei feels free, he might as well go to the Imperial College and be a bartender."

"I just have time to visit Chang'an and see the beautiful Guanzhong."

As he said that, Kou Zhong glanced at Li Gui.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Li Gui heard this, his face immediately lit up with joy.

Who in the world doesn't know that the person offering wine at the Imperial Academy of Chu is Shi Zhixuan, the evil king, one of the father-in-laws of King Kou Zhong of Chu.

The Imperial Academy's Young Master Jijiu was an out-and-out second-grade official, responsible for training scholars from all over the country. His official position was not small, but it was very relaxed.

It can be said that this is a good job!

"If nothing happens, everyone, except Duke Jiang, will disperse on your own."

Kou Zhong waved his hand, and the meaning behind his words was already very clear.

"promise!"

Everyone understood and left the Qinzheng Hall one by one.

Immediately, Kou Zhong explained to Yun Yuzhen and Chen Laomou, and took Xu Ziling to the top of one of the peaks of Zhongnan Mountain.

"Young Master Zhong."

"Why did you bring me here?"

Looking around, Xu Ziling asked with some confusion.

Zhongnan Mountain is not far from Chang'an. The spiritual energy emanating from the spiritual veins of Longshou Mountain has spread here. There are clouds and mist on the top of the mountain. Although it is late autumn, the flowers, plants and trees in the mountain have not turned yellow, but have bloomed new branches. This It was also once praised by the people as the Chu Kingdom favored by heaven.

Looking at it carefully, the scenery is certainly good, but Xu Ziling is more concerned about the fact that Chu State is currently launching troops on the plateau, southwest, Nanyang, and East China Sea. Many things are on the agenda. Naturally, he is also very busy. How could Kou Zhong suddenly Let him come here.

"Master Ling!"

"Do you still remember why I disappeared last time?"

After taking a deep look at Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong said something meaningful.

"This..."

"Young Master Zhong, do you mean the Evil Emperor's relics?"

Xu Ziling's pupils shrank severely and he asked again with some uncertainty.

"Ah."

With his jaw slightly raised, Kou Zhong met Xu Ziling's gaze and said calmly: "As the Chu State grows, there are more and more forces within it."

"Especially since the Demon Sect is very powerful, Shi Zhixuan is a very wise and demon-like figure."

"It looked like Qingxuan had restrained him previously, but in fact it was because he was not familiar with the world's situation yet."

"The evil king still has many unfulfilled ambitions in his heart. I can't place my hope on the depth of his feelings for his daughter."

"Chu State needs a top force to contain Shi Zhixuan. That force cannot be me, it can only be you."

heard.

Xu Ziling fell into silence.

Kou Zhong likes to go out and solve many problems that they can't even imagine. Almost every time he goes out, Chu's strength will increase dramatically.

No one can do this except Kou Zhong.

Therefore, even if Kou Zhong's current strength is not weaker than Shi Zhixuan, and may even be stronger, he cannot always stay in Chu.

"Master Zhong!"

"how do you want to do it?"

After thinking about it carefully, Xu Ziling looked at Kou Zhong with burning eyes.

"That's it."

"The reason why I was in retreat last time was because I wanted to use the power of the Heshi Bi to neutralize the essence in the evil emperor's relics, so as to complete the longevity formula in one fell swoop."

"But doing so almost led to a narrow escape from death, and I almost stepped into the underworld with half a foot."

"Fortunately, at the critical moment, the yang turns into yin, thereby transforming the five elements and realizing the completion of the Secret of Immortality."

"Because of this, I know that this longevity technique does not necessarily require a large cycle. A single picture can also reach the peak. Moreover, the danger of a single picture is much less than practicing seven pictures at the same time."

"Now, I have been able to perfectly elicit the power of the Evil Emperor's relics and He's Jade, and then infuse them into the body."

"According to my speculation, the remaining power here is enough for you to reach the peak of Grand Master."

"so....."

"I do!"

Before Kou Zhong finished speaking, Xu Ziling nodded seriously.

One generation, two brothers, Kou Zhong dared to let him receive the initiation at this time, which is enough to show that Kou Zhong is confident and he believes in Kou Zhong.

"it is good."

Looking at Xu Ziling's firm gaze, Kou Zhong also nodded.

Immediately, Xu Ziling sat down cross-legged on the top of Zhongnan Mountain, facing the autumn wind.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

The Evil Emperor's relics and the He clan's jade appeared in front of Xu Ziling at the same time.

Kou Zhong used his own Chaos True Gang to draw the power of the two. Xu Ziling's Eight Qi Meridians and Two Rendu Meridians entered his Dantian respectively. Finally, they merged in the Dantian and were absorbed and strengthened by Xu Ziling's Yinji True Gang, thereby improving his abilities. The purpose of cultivation.

As time passed, a layer of faint blue Zhengang appeared on the surface of Xu Ziling's body, and it became thicker and thicker, and the aura around him continued to increase.

"boom!!!"

When all the power of the Evil Emperor's relics and the mental power of the He's Bi were absorbed, Xu Ziling instantly burst out with an unprecedented force of energy that shot straight into the sky.

In an instant, the wind and clouds on the top of Zhongnan Mountain changed color, and a dark blue rainbow penetrated the sky and the earth, as cold as the ice of Jiuyou.

"Master Zhong!"

“It feels so good!”

After opening his eyes, Xu Ziling felt the huge power all over his body, which could almost shatter the void, and couldn't help but sigh.

It only took a year and a half to go from having no martial arts skills to becoming one of the strongest men in the world. How incredible is this!

Seeing this, Kou Zhong also smiled and said: "Master Ling, your Zhen Gang has also undergone transformation, and it has become even colder and colder."

"I think it's no longer appropriate to call it Yinji Zhengang. It's better to call it Jiuyou Zhengang."

"it is good!"

Xu Ziling nodded, his eyes sparkling.

The current Jiuyou Zhengang is more powerful than the Yinji Zhengang, and can freeze and kill everything with a single strike.

"Let's go back."

After waving, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling came down directly from Zhongnan Mountain and returned to Chang'an. No one knew what happened when the two went out, but many people vaguely felt that the situation in Chang'an and even the Chu State was becoming more stable, and there was a lot of hope. A feeling of being as motionless as a mountain.
