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

"Brothers, kill all these barbarians!"

On the green grassland, black-armored light cavalry were chasing the retreating Xi tribe cavalry.

From the moment they received the king's order, one hundred thousand cavalry troops dispatched troops from Hetao, crossed the vast prairie, and came directly to the Raole River, where they launched a surprise attack on the Xi tribesmen who had just returned from plundering various counties in Liaodong.

Like steel monsters, the [-]-strong Knight Guards' heavy cavalry rushed through the Xi tribe's camp, galloping freely and invincibly.

The cavalry commander Pei Yuanqing was holding a pair of meteorite iron and silver hammers weighing three hundred kilograms each. The white dragon horses were running wildly under his crotches. Every time he passed by, he would hit the hammer and the Xi tribe cavalry would be directly smashed, and blood and minced meat would burst out. .

The white dragon horse under its crotch has been dyed red all over, and there are still threads of meat on the ferocious fangs. The horse's eyes are also filled with excitement. It has evolved into a dragon horse. In fact, it has broken away from the ranks of herbivores and has become a carnivore. A strange beast.

Not only Pei Yuanqing, Xiaoqi's left general Luo Cheng and right general Pei Xingyan also led their respective subordinates to drive the Xi tribe together.

"Chief Hu, come and accept your fate!"

Luo Cheng was dressed in white armor, with a white dragon horse under his crotch, and the five-clawed divine hook gun kept flying in his hand.

The Xi tribe cavalry in front of him had their hearts pierced, fell off their horses, and turned into corpses.

He immediately saw the bloated figure guarded by five hundred elite Xi tribe cavalry, and his face was filled with joy.

The Xi tribe originated from Donghu, and after the Yuwen tribe of Xianbei, there were five tribes. The leader of the alliance of the five tribes often guarded the tent with 500 soldiers, which must be the chief Yuwen Xie of the Xi tribe.

"Quick! Stop him!"

Seeing Luo Cheng fighting towards him from the rebel army, Yuwen Xie was horrified and quickly called his guards to stop Luo Cheng.

Hundreds of personal guards brandished spears, bones, and axes, and swarmed toward Luo Cheng.

"Ha ha!"

"A bunch of Hulu children, ridiculous!"

Seeing this, Luo Cheng did not retreat but advanced, and gently pinched the white dragon horse under his crotch. The white dragon horse instantly understood what he meant, let out a high-pitched roar, quickened his pace again, and turned into a white lightning to greet him. To the Xi clan's personal guards.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Between Lightning and Flint.

Luo Cheng 11's body was filled with divine energy, which was poured into the five-claw divine hook gun in his hand, and streams of gun energy burst out.

The Xi tribe cavalry who stood in front of him were all stabbed through their bodies. With expressions of disbelief on their faces, they fell on the grassland by the river, their blood staining the grassland red.

In just an instant, hundreds of Xi clan guards turned into corpses, without any chance of moving.

'what? '

Yuwen Xie's eyes widened and he kept twitching the riding crop in his hand.

However, it was still too slow. His eyes were filled with the shadow of a five-claw divine hook gun, and he suddenly fell down from his horse.

"Shh!"

Luo Chengyou made a slight stroke with the tip of his spear, and the head was separated from the body.

Immediately, he picked up Yuwen Xie's head and shouted in the Xi language: "Your chief is dead, why don't you dismount and surrender quickly?"

The true energy poured into the chest, and a roar resounded for five miles. All the fleeing Xi tribesmen looked back and saw Yuwen Xie's head, as if the sky was falling. They no longer had the idea of ​​​​escape, and they all dismounted and knelt down.

"Whoa!"

One after another, hundreds of thousands of Xi people knelt by the Rao Le River.

In this way, the Qiaoqi Army effortlessly wiped out the most powerful ethnic group entrenched in the Modong Grassland.

The Xi tribe occupies the warmest grassland area. Compared with the Khitan, Ping tribe, Shiwei, and Mohe tribes whose territories are mostly in cold areas, they are much stronger. They have hundreds of thousands of tribes and hundreds of thousands of cavalry.

As long as the Xi tribe is defeated, the remaining tribes will be meat on the chopping board and can be eaten whenever they want.

"Send an order to leave [-] cavalry to guard the Xi clan and hand them over to the Yanzhou army. The rest of the army will continue eastward."

"Luo Cheng, you take the left guard of the heroic cavalry to the Xizu and Shiwei. Pei Xingyan and Pei Yuanqing, you take the right guard and the heavy cavalry to go to Khitan and Mohe with me."

Looking into the distance, the Cavalry General Jiang Song issued two orders.

"promise!"

Luo Cheng, Pei Xingyan, and Pei Yuanqing responded in unison, and the heroic cavalry army instantly divided into two groups, one heading northeast and one heading east.

In the summer of the 14th year of Daye, the Chu State dispatched [-] cavalry, and successively destroyed the Kumoxi, Khitan, Lin tribe, Shiwei, and Mohe. There was no longer any power in the entire Modong grassland, leaving only the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. on one's last legs.

.......

at the same time.

King Kou Zhong of Chu met with Li Clan, Dou Jiande, Luo Yi and others at the Qinzheng Hall of Daxing Palace.

In the main hall, everyone in the Li clan was a little at a loss. Dou Jiande and his party were happy to see the Li clan's predicament. Luo Yi was the most relaxed. Who let his two sons, one is a titled general with a hundred thousand troops, and the other is a guard general? .

"Your Highness!"

"Liaodong urgent report!"

A Jinyi Tiqi hurriedly handed a fire-lacquered letter to the attendant, who hurriedly presented it.

"Shh!"

Kou Zhong took the letter, looked at it carefully, and laughed heartily: "Okay, great!"

"The Knights did a good job."

"Edict: The brave cavalry general Jiang Songguo was brave and wise. He pacified all the tribes in Modong. He was promoted to Marquis. His title was: Yuyang."

"Luo Cheng, Pei Xingyan, and Pei Yuanqing are Earls of Jin, with titles: Yang'an, Bai Geng, and Youcheng."

"Each of them will be given a 300-year-old Polygonum multiflorum plant, twenty red fruits, and two red blood vines."

"promise!"

The attendant responded and prepared an edict.

Everyone present was stunned. They all looked at Luo Yi with envious expressions.

Luo Yi is still in a daze. What did his two sons do? In the blink of an eye, they became Yu Yanghou and Yang Anbo.

"General Luo."

"The Xiaoqi Army cooperated with the Yanzhou Army and the Youzhou Army to pacify the Kumoxi, Khitan, Xi, Shiwei, and Mohe tribes, and the desert east returned to Chu."

"I intend to establish the Bohai Governor's Palace in the old places of Shiwei and Mohe. Are you willing to serve as the Governor of Bohai?"

At this moment, Kou Zhong's words cleared everyone's doubts.

But just like this, they were even more surprised. All the Hu people entrenched outside Liaodong were destroyed. This was really shocking.

You know, even the weakest Xi tribe has no less than ten thousand riders. Khitan and Kumoxi have tens of thousands or one hundred thousand riders. Even the former Sui Dynasty had to appease them. When it comes to Kou Zhong, they are like Ni Nie. Same, easily destroyed.

But they had to believe that this was true, because Kou Zhong would ennoble marquis and earl, and it could only be Luo Yi's son who was responsible for such genocide.

"Go back to your highness, the general is willing!"

Luo Yi, who had just come to his senses, quickly responded.

Even though Shiwei and Mohe are bitterly cold places, they are vast in territory, at least two thousand miles across, and the two tribes together number in the millions.

"Edict: Luo Yi lived in Youyan for a long time, protected the people, and made meritorious service to the country. He was granted the title of Duke of Liao."

"I will give you a mansion, two rebirth elixirs, a purple ginseng plant, and a thousand catties of spiritual rice."

The voice fell.

The attendant on the side handed a Na ring to Luo Yi.

"Tick!"

Luo Yi dripped blood on it very skillfully, unable to hide the pride on his lips.

He had long heard his son talk about this matter of storing magic weapons, but he didn't expect King Chu to be so generous.

"Dou Jiande!"

"The crime will be there!"

Next, a middle-aged man with a beard walked out and knelt on the ground.

"Read the imperial edict!"

Kou Zhong raised his hand and said calmly.

"promise!"

An attendant of the King of Chu took out the yellow silk, opened it, and read loudly: "The king's edict: Dou Jiande, Hebei Province, promoted the righteous army, attacked the unruly, obeyed the destiny, and entered the great Chu. He was specially given a marquis, the title: Xia, and his wife was given A second-class county lady, her daughter Dou Hongxian was granted the title of Princess Hejian and allowed to enter the Women's Garden."

"In addition, I will give you a Marquis Mansion with ten thousand gold, three thousand pieces of silk and satin, one rebirth elixir, ten red fruits, and five hundred catties of spiritual rice."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Hearing this, Dou Jiande finally breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the Wang Zhao with satisfaction.

Li Mi and Zhai Rang are both two-character marquis, and Xiao Xian is only one-character marquis. He is very happy to have won the title of Xiahou.

"The king's edict: Liu Heitai and Zhuge Bowei confer viscounts with titles: Wuyuan and Lecheng."

"Order Liu Heita to be the governor of the Japanese Governor-General's Palace and coordinate the military affairs of Japan. Zhuge Bowei is appointed the governor of the Luzon Governor-General's Palace to coordinate the military affairs of Luzon."

"Liu Bin and Ouyang Xun are the left ministers of the Ministry of punishment and the right minister of the Ministry of punishment, and are given the title of Grand Duke."

"Each will be given a mansion, an animal bone pill, and a hundred catties of spiritual rice."

The attendants of the King of Chu read the contents on the yellow silk cloth at once.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Liu Heita and others also expressed their gratitude with happy faces.

"Ah."

Kou Zhong gave the attendant a look.

One of the Chu King's attendants took Dou Jiande and his party away from the Qinzheng Hall.

For a time, only the Li Clan monarchs and ministers were left in the palace, all with complicated faces and even a little disappointed in their hearts. It has to be said that the rewards given by Dou Jiande and his party made these Li Clan monarchs and ministers full of envy, but after all, they are different from Dou Jiande. The former is Active surrender, the latter is passive surrender.

"Li Xiuning."

"You did a good job. Gu is a person who knows rewards and punishments."

"what do you want?"

Kou Zhong asked after taking a deep look at Li Xiuning.

The most fundamental reason why Li Clan surrendered to Chu this time was that Li Xiuning used Li Shimin and Li Yuanba's army to forcibly control the Tang court, and thus escorted all the Tang monarchs and ministers to Chang'an without bloodshed.

"I want a place in His Highness's harem!"

Li Xiuning raised her heroic eyebrows and stared at Kou Zhong motionlessly.

Geek!

When everyone present heard this, their expressions became a little strange, and the atmosphere in Qinzheng Hall became particularly stagnant.

"You are very smart. You guessed that Gu's harem system has also been perfected from the nine-level nobility system for courtiers and family members introduced by Gu."

"Yes, Gu has indeed made some preparations for ascending to the throne."

"But there are only six positions for concubines in Da Chu. You can choose one of the remaining twelve positions."

"When Gu ascends to the position of Ninth Five-Year Plan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will appoint her and make her a concubine."

Kou Zhong said calmly.

He was not surprised by Li Xiuning's choice.

Because, unlike Song Yuhua, Li Xiuning is very similar to Princess Nanyang, and she thinks more about her family.

If you want the Li family to live a better life in the Chu Kingdom and even the Great Chu, only by joining the harem can you make others take advantage of it.

"I respect the imperial edict!"

Li Xiuning didn't hesitate at all and agreed immediately.

She knew that she could not compare with the six wives of the current King of Chu. The fathers of Shi Qingxuan and Shang Xiuxun were both important ministers of the Chu State. Behind Shifei Xuan were the remaining power of the Buddhist sect and Zhengyiyi, and behind Wanwan were the remaining power of the Demonic sect and the Yin family. Later, Zhu Yuyan, Song Yuhua, and Princess Nanyang squeezed into the front line with their strong military exploits. Both of them were supported by the Chu army, as well as the Song family and the Yang family.

The concubine position is the best thing she can get now.

"Three sisters!"
