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

Li Shimin and Li Yuanba felt bitter in their hearts when they saw that Li Xiuning, who was once so proud, was now bowing down for the sake of a mere concubine.

The other members of the Li clan were not sad at all. Even Li Yuan had a smile on his lips. They all thought that Li Xiuning would be able to gain benefits for the Li clan by entering the palace, but they thought too much.

"Li Shimin, Li Yuanba."

"You two have made great achievements in conquering Dingxiang. I will give you a viscount and the titles: Jinyang and Fenyang."

"Order Li Shimin as General Hengbo, Li Xiaogong as General Huwei, Li Shentong and Li Daozong as General Huwei's left and right, and Li Yuanba as General Huwei Cavalry."

"Order Xue Wanche to be the Long Xiang Mo Sword General, Xue Wanjun to be the Ying Yang Rui General, Zhang Liang to be the Divine Cavalry Commander, and Bing Yuanzhen to be the Divine Martial Cavalry Commander."

"Changsun Wuji is the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, Feng Deyi is the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Wei Ting, Feng Li, Changsun Shunde, Yang Gongqing, and Li Gang are the prefects of the five Lingnan states."

"I will take office today!"

The loud words resounded in the hall, and everyone whose name was called was shocked.

"promise!"

Everyone came together and responded.

It wasn't until everyone had finished making arrangements that Kou Zhong turned his attention to Li Yuan. Looking at the rickety old man, he felt deeply that the winner was king and the loser was Kou. If he lost, he would probably end up worse than Li Yuan.

Everyone present focused their attention on Kou Zhong, because they knew that the next step was the most critical moment.

"Send the edict!"

I saw Kou Zhong drink lightly.

"promise!"

The attendant of the King of Chu immediately spoke out: "The king's edict: Grant Li Yuan the title of Marquis of Tang, with the title: Tang, and make Li Jiancheng the scholar of the Marquis of Tang."

"Li Yuan's eldest daughter was granted the title of Lord of Jinyang County and Lord of Fenyang County. His fourth son, Li Zhiyun, was granted the title of Doctor Ronglu and entered the Imperial Academy to study."

"In addition, I will give you a palace, ten thousand gold, and three thousand pieces of silk and satin."

'well! ! ! '

heard.

Everyone present couldn't help but sigh.

This kind of reward seems to be very good, but it is very different from what Dou Jiande and Luo Yi received.

Can two county heads be as good as one princess?

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the gift!"

Li Yuan dragged his old body and kowtowed to thank him.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Jiancheng and Li Zhiyun also expressed their gratitude one after another.

Only Li Yuanji, who had not received the reward, flashed a trace of resentment in his eyes. It was not against Kou Zhong, but against Li Yuan and others. The entire Li family had been rewarded, and even the concubine Li Zhiyun was not left behind. He was the only one who did not even have an official position. There is no title, why?

Li Xiuning and Li Shimin next to them looked at each other and saw the bitterness in their eyes. It was obvious that this knighthood was to divide the Li family.

The huge Li clan will be divided next. Li Shimin and Li Yuanba both have Viscount Mansion. The three sisters are either county lords or Princess Chu. Naturally, they can no longer live in Tanghou Mansion. So only the remaining three sisters still live in Tanghou Mansion. Exit Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji, who had not received a title or official position, could not be without anger in his heart. The Tang Hou Mansion would probably end up in an embarrassing situation with two sons fighting for the family property.

Chapter 127: Eastern Shura, iron-blooded swordsman!

As the night gradually fell, Kou Zhong stood outside Daxing Palace, looking at Longshou Mountain, feeling filled with emotion.

In two years, the Central Plains was unified, and then only the three kingdoms of East, West Turks, and Goguryeo were left. Time flies so fast.

"Your Highness, it's late at night, go to bed!"

suddenly.

A soft whisper full of temptation sounded in Kou Zhong's ears.

Kou Zhong looked back and saw that it was the former four leaders of the Ba League and today the Chu Kingdom's Forbidden Army General Sina. This enchanting Yao beauty showed up under the moonlight, which made him feel a little full of blood. He hugged her horizontally. Qi Sina entered the inner hall.

.........

Daye 14, September.

In the distant Persian Empire, on the left bank of the Tigris River and at the mouth of the Diyala River, a huge circular city built with loess bricks stood on the Mesopotamian Plain. This was the most prominent city on the land, Sasha. The capital of the San Dynasty - Ctesiphon.

At the end of May, the Heavenly Sword Song Que took over the four armies of Yiwei, Xiongqu, Baotao and Qianniu in Gandhara, led 40 Chu troops to attack Tochara, and destroyed all the ruling power of the Western Turks in Tochara. He seized the entire Tocharian territory, marched westward, captured Khorasan, and had several battles with the Sasanian cavalry.

As of early September, the Chu army and the Sasanian dynasty had fought for more than a hundred times, all of which ended with the Chu army's victory.

"Hoo! Chi! Chi!"

In September, the wind blowing from the southern ocean brings thick water vapor to the face.

The six armies of Da Chu formed a black military formation, standing outside Taisi Feng, the capital of the Sasanian Dynasty.

The leader, Song Que, was wrapped in a red turban, wore red armor, and had a heavenly sword tied to his waist. He was as majestic as a god of war descending to earth or a tiger descending from a mountain after starving for a long time. The 60 Chu troops behind him admired and revered him.

Song Que, who is at the pinnacle of the Grand Master, is not scary. What is scary is that he is no longer a warrior, but a first-rate strategist and military strategist who has knowledge of the past and the present, and whose wisdom is as deep as the sea. The man who has been observing the situation coldly for 30 years has appeared today Song Que.

After 30 years of sharpening the sword, it swept across Central Asia and West Asia. The Sassanid Dynasty, one of the most powerful empires in the world today, was once crushed by the Chu army and was killed below their capital. How powerful this was!

"Kingdom!"

"Order to attack the city!"

The dark and rough face of Du Fuwei, the eldest Xiongqu General, showed a different kind of excitement.

Beside him, General Longxiang Guo Xiaoke, General Yingyang Wang Junkuo, General Baotao Su Lie, General Qianniu Xue Rengui, and General Yiwei Wu Yunzhao could not control their inner feelings and were ready to move.

Who can take this kind of country-destroying war and take it lightly?

The fighting spirit of the 60-strong army was so fierce, like a group of wild beasts emerging from the desolate hell into the human world, brutal and violent.

"Order Leopard Tao Qingqi and Qianniu Qingqi to follow me closely, while Yiwei Qingqi and Xiong Qu Qingqi patrol on the left and right flanks."

"As soon as I break the city, the whole army will press forward and conquer Ctesiphon in one fell swoop!"

With piercing eyes, Song Que's handsome middle-aged face showed a hint of murderous intent.

Two hours had passed since the surrender letter was sent to the city. It can be seen that the Sasanians did not intend to surrender, but intended to resist.

In this case, there is no need for him to wait any longer.

"promise!"

Guo Xiaoke and other generals all responded and went down to make arrangements.

Ten thousand Leopard Tao Qingqi and ten thousand Ox Qingqi all came out to form a huge black arrow.

The remaining [-] Yiwei Qingqi spread out on the left wing of the Chu army, and the [-] Xiongqu Qingqi spread out on the right wing of the Chu army, always paying attention to the enemy's movements.

next moment.

Song Que stood up from his horse, stepped on the void, and appeared in the sky a hundred meters away from Taixifeng like a heavenly being.

"what is that?"

The Sasanian Guards of Ctesiphon couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw Song Que's figure.

"Shh!"

I saw Song Que above the sky gently pulling out the Narcissus Sword from his waist. This is a high-grade yellow-level magic weapon forged from the mysterious crystal by the commander of the Imperial Household of Dachu. It can exert the power of his true power to the greatest extent. Extremely, it is more like rippling water than the previous narcissus sword, reflecting in the void like a stream of autumn water.

"What is he going to do〃~?"

The commander of the Sassanid Imperial Guards also stared at Song Que in the sky.

In the Sasanian Dynasty, there was no division between Grand Master and Grand Master, but they had a knight system. Only the Grand Knight Commander could barely walk in the void. Only the Paladins could stand in the void for such a long time.

Looking at the entire Western world, it is impossible for any country except the Holy See to have Paladins. This general from the East is actually a Paladin.

'Let you come and sacrifice my father's Eight Heavenly Sword Styles! '

Staring at Taixi Feng City Gate, Song Que's heart trembled, and a wave of water-like true energy began to fill his body.

Gradually, under the sun, an unprecedented blue color filled the sky and reflected on the earth. It was such a refreshing blue, as majestic as the ocean, which made people feel confused when they saw it.

But it was this kind of true energy attached to the magic weapon Narcissus Sword that instantly emitted a threat that could destroy all things.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The power of weak water is not just weak, it is a preparation for setting off stormy waves.

In everyone's eyes, Song Que's figure became fainter and fainter, and finally intertwined with the clouds, seemingly alive and dead, like dreams and illusions, with myriad shapes.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, a celestial figure kept slashing at an unprecedented speed.

One sword after another, a total of eight sword qi crossed the sky and merged into one, turning into a huge azure sword thousands of feet long, like a huge wave reflected in the sky, which was breathtaking.

"Do not!!!"

Watching the sword fall, the commander of the Sassanian Guards Yebagu roared with despair on his face.

The Sasanian Guards beside him had already been frightened by this horrific scene and froze in place, unable to move even an inch.

"boom!!!"

A loud noise echoed across the plains of Mesopotamia.

Within the entire Ctesiphon area, there were earthquakes and landslides within a ten-mile radius. All the Sasanians knelt on the ground in horror, looking at the blue sky.

A thousand-foot sword stood on the gate of Taixi Feng City, and the entire gate tower collapsed instantly, revealing a huge gap that could accommodate thousands of people at the same time.

The "Eight Techniques of the Heavenly Sword" is when Song Que merged the eighty swords of his "Eight Techniques of the Heavenly Sword" into eight ways after the battle with Kou Zhong, and then combined them into one, how powerful it is!

"attack!"

With a wave of his hand, Song Gao's voice followed Zhen Gang and spread throughout the battlefield.

"Da-da-da! Da-da-da!"

The long-awaited 60 Chu troops and light cavalry instantly poured into Ctesiphon like a tide, and [-] Chu troops entered the capital of this ancient empire.

"kill!"

"Whoa!"

The long-handled Miao knife in the Leopard Tao light rider kept waving, and the light of the hunting knife shocked people's hearts.

Along the way, Sasanian soldiers were all cut off, and blood spurted out, staining the city buildings like yellow earth red.

This is just the beginning!

The [-] heavily armored Mo Dao soldiers directly under Longxiang Army advanced to the front of the Sassanid Palace like steel monsters, followed by [-] Yingyan Rui warriors.

Among the entire army directly under the Chu State, apart from the Hengbo Army and the two major naval forces, the Yingyang Army and the Longxiang Army were the most powerful infantry.

The hundred-foot-tall Arch of Ctesiphon was originally a building specially built by the Sassanid Dynasty to show off its military force and used it to receive foreign envoys, but now it has become their last support. Tens of thousands of Sasanian guardsmen holding spears died. Death Guard in front of the Sassanid Palace.

The Sasanian king Khosrau II, his wife, children, and ministers were all guarded by the Praetorian Guard.

"attack!"

Xue Wanche, the general of Mo Dao, was covered in heavy armor and held a man-high meteorite iron Mo Dao in his hand. His eyes were bloodshot and he gave the order.

"Ta Ta..."

Low and orderly footsteps sounded in this small neighborhood.

Everyone could feel the ground shaking and the gravel jumping.

"Quick! Block them!"

Sasanian King Khosrow II pointed at the [-] black-armored soldiers in front of him in horror and ordered.

Tens of thousands of Sasanian Guards heard the voice from His Majesty the King, and everyone faced the [-] Long Xiangmo swordsmen with reverence and enthusiasm.

"cut!!!"

However, just as the Sasanian Guards approached Mo Daobing, there was an angry shout.

"Whoa!"

Ten thousand Mo swordsmen all slashed down with their swords, and the sun shone on the swords, reflecting a heart-stopping cold light.

"what?!"
