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

"Not only that, Shuanglong must have other opportunities."

"Xu Ziling's swordsmanship can predict other people's moves, take the lead in using the sword, and block the way forward. It is quite similar to Goguryeo Yi's swordsmanship."

"Coupled with the fact that Fu Junma, master of Yijian Master Fu Cailin, is following them, Xu Ziling's swordsmanship must be taught by Fu Junma."

"But Koo Zhong's sword skills are so domineering that there is no similarity in the world. Also, his sword has a blade like dragon scales and a handle like a dragon head. It is quite consistent with the three swords forged by Jie, the last emperor of the Xia Dynasty recorded in ancient books. The first dragon tooth."

"As for the sword in Xu Ziling's hand that looks like Jiuyou Ice, it is also a magic weapon that is not inferior to the Dragon Tooth Sword."

"It's just that what I'm curious about is what opportunity made Ssangyong's mentality grow so fast."

"First kill the backbone of the Haisha Gang, then take over the Zhuhua Gang, Jukun Gang, and establish the Shuanglong Gang. This is not like a simple effort to establish power."

In the pavilion, Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes kept flashing, and she secretly felt strange in her heart.

This is the first time that Miss Li Clan San, one of the few smart women in the world, has witnessed such a rapid rise!

At this moment, Hong Fu Nu suddenly thought of something and couldn't wait to add: "Miss, there is something very suspicious."

"The Shuangyong Gang is selling the shops and houses under its name on a large scale, selling them for cash, and recruiting a large number of sailors."

"Almost all the young refugees in Jiangdu were wiped out by Shuanglong. The number of Shuanglong gangs has expanded several times, reaching nearly 10 people."

"Some of the Shuanglong Gang's ships carry a large amount of baggage and have arrived in Yuhang County from the Grand Canal south."

"Moreover, they are also building docks and houses in Yuhang County, showing signs of taking root in Yuhang."

what?

heard.

Li Xiuning's expression suddenly changed. Why was it Yu Hang?

Yuhang County is a new county that was founded in the third year of Daye (607). It governs seven counties: Qiantang, Fuyang, Yuhang, Yuqian, Yanguan, Xincheng and Zixi.

This is the southernmost point of the Grand Canal, running down the Qiantang River, not far from the entrance to Hangzhou Bay.

Occupying Yuhang will seize the opportunity for any force to go south through the Grand Canal.

It is precisely because of the connection of the Grand Canal that Yuhang County, as the southern end of the canal, has developed rapidly. From 15380 households with a population of about 9 in the sixth year of Daye, it now has no less than 3 households with a population of nearly 20.

In the entire Jiangnan region, Yuhang County is undoubtedly the largest county.

In fact.

During the Sui Dynasty, the population reached its peak.

In the fifth year of Daye, there were 8907536 households, and the total number of households was [-].

At that time, there were 190 counties in the country. Those with a population of more than [-] households were classified as upper counties, those with more than [-] households were classified as middle counties, and those with less than [-] households were classified as lower counties.

There are 34 Shang counties nationwide, and all 34 are located north of the river.

Although Shu County in the southwest and Jiangdu County in the southeast have more than [-] households, they are not part of the Jiangnan region.

The population north of the river accounts for 70.00% of the national population, the remaining 20.00% is distributed in Bashu and Jiangnan, and the remaining 5.00% is the total population of the Lingnan region.

In fact.

The population of Bashu is not inferior to that of Jiangnan. There are [-] households in Shu County alone.

In comparison, Jiangnan is divided into four major areas: Jiangdong, Jiangyou, Xiangchu, and Central Guizhou. Jiangdong is especially the most prosperous, covering the land of Wu and Yue.

Previously, Jiangdong was headed by Danyang, Wujun, and Kuaiji. Later, after the Grand Canal was connected, Yuhang County rose up and once led all counties.

Not only that, south of Yuhang, the combined population of Kuaiji County, Dongyang County, Yongjia County, and Jian'an County has a population of at least [-] households. If Yuhang County is combined, the population is [-] households, which is exactly the size of a Shangjun.

If we seize Wu County, Piling County, Danyang County, Xuancheng County, Xin'an County, and Sui'an County, we can control the entire Jiangdong area.

That is 20 households, more than one million people.

For a moment, Li Xiuning seemed to have guessed what Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were planning, and the light in her beautiful eyes continued to refract.

However, what she doesn't know is that the Shuanglong Gang is just a pawn on the surface, and Kou Zhong's appetite is not just as simple as Jiangdong.

Chapter No.16: Keep a low profile and bide your time, Yu Wenji, who is flexible and flexible!

Jiangdu, Youtunwei General's Mansion.

"Big brother."

"You still have time to enjoy the flowers and fish here."

"Our Yuwen clan's face is being rubbed on the ground by others."

"The Shuanglong Gang has begun to retreat to Yuhang. After crossing the river, that is no longer territory we can control."

"If you ask me, mobilize the Xiaoguo Army now and kill the Shuanglong Gang in Jiangdu City, lest everyone in the world laugh at me, the Yuwen clan has no one."

Yu Wenzhiji rushed in hastily, his hawk-beaked face full of fierce light.

Kou Zhong stood on the long street and said openly, "Today, the king of heaven is here, and he is also a poor man. How can he want to change his ancestors?" ' Everyone in the south of the Yangtze River has heard about it. Soon, Bashu, Central Plains, Hebei, Guanzhong, and Ganlong will all know this sentence.

The face that the Yuwen clan had hidden for hundreds of years was gone. The royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Western Wei Dynasty, would become the laughingstock of the world.

Since then, the Yuwen Clan has been eliminated from the ranks of the Han people. Everyone mentions it as the Xianbei Poyantou. How can it take over the world?

"Second brother."

"The sky hasn't fallen yet, why are you so panicked!"

Yu Wenhua stood up tall, wearing purple clothes, with unpredictable eyes and a cold and indifferent expression, giving people a different kind of domineering attitude that shocked people's hearts.

"My big brother!"

"Don't you know that the Shuanglong Gang was formed by the integration of three major gangs by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling?"

"Together, these three major gangs are no less powerful than the Poyang Clan and the Baling Clan."

"If we just watch the Ssangyong Gang go south to Yuhang, we will undoubtedly let the tiger go back to the mountains."

"In time, how will we control Double Dragon?"

Seeing Yu Wenhua's calmness, Yu Wenzhiji became more and more anxious.

What a joke!

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were only 17 years old, in the early stage of Grand Master. Kou Zhong even killed Han Gaitian, the Dragon King in the middle stage of Grand Master.

If they were given time to develop to the late Grandmaster stage, and with the help of the Shuanglong Gang, wouldn't the Yuwen Clan be destroyed by others?

"Oh?"

"Let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

"If Yuhang is a mountain, who is the tiger, the Shuanglong Gang or the Shuanglong Gang?"

"Without Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, what use would the Shuanglong Gang have? They are just making wedding clothes for others."

Glancing at Yu Wenzhiji, Yu Wenhuaji said indifferently.

Immediately.

Yuwen Zhiji looked shocked and asked: "Brother, what do you mean..."

"Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Fu Junma are all stationed at Haisha Gang."

"I have appointed a young man to lead the Iron Cavalry to go south. As long as Shuanglong is still there, what's the matter even if the Shuanglong Gang is gone?"

"Without Ssangyong, the Ssangyong Gang is a plaything in the hands of you and me, easily available."

As he spoke, Yu Wenhuaji threw out the fish food in his hand, causing a group of carp in the pond to fight for it, and the water surface rippled.

At this time, Yuwen Zhiji couldn't help but speak again: "Brother, although the Iron Cavalry Club has three hundred cavalry, it can't compare to the Xiaoguo Army."

"Why did you leave the Xiaoguo Army in front of you and let Ren Shaoming go south?"

"Second brother, shut up."

Hearing this, Yu Wenhuaji's narrow eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said coldly: "I am the general of the Sui Youtun Guard, not the general of the Imperial Guard."

"The Xiaoguo Army is the emperor's imperial guard, and it is led by General Hu Benlang. It is my turn to intervene."

"Previously, His Majesty had explicitly ordered me to seize the "Secret of Immortality", but I failed and cannot escape the blame."

"I have submitted a letter requesting my resignation as General of Youtunwei. Your Majesty has agreed and appointed Dugu Sheng as General of Youtunwei."

what?

heard.

Yuwen Zhiji had a look of horror on his face and lost his voice: "Brother, why is this happening!"

The difference between Yuwen clan and other clans is that the clan leader is not the most powerful person, but the person with the highest martial arts cultivation.

Therefore, the head of the Yuwen Clan is Yuwen Shang, Yuwen Shang's uncle. Yuwen Shang has three sons: Yuwen Chenglong, Yuwen Chengdu, and Yuwen Shanggu.

Among them, Yuwen Chenglong, Yuwen Chengdu and Yuwen Wenhuaji are tied as the top four masters of the Yuwen clan.

The most powerful member of the Yuwen Clan was Yuwen Wenji's father, Yuwenshu, who rose to the rank of General Zuowei and Duke Xu Guogong.

But since he went south with Yang Guang, Yu Wenshu was bedridden, as sick as a dangerous egg, and might die at any time.

At present, Yuwenshu's third son, Yuwenshihe, has not been close to him since he was a child. Although he married the princess of Nanyang and worshiped the prince-in-law as the captain and Honglu Shaoqing, he was far away in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and could not provide any help to the Yuwen clan.

At this time, Yu Wenhuaji, the highest-ranking official, suddenly resigned. How much power can the Yuwen clan have in the court?

"Second brother."

"Your Majesty is very jealous of us."

"The day the dragon boat arrived in Jiangdu, it already attacked me. I was seriously injured with one palm."

"Otherwise, do you think Fu Junma, Kou Zhong and others can hurt me?"

Looking at Jiangdu Palace, Yu Wenhuaji said in a gloomy tone.

"What? That Hunjun is so..."

When Yuwen Zhiji heard this, he was furious and his face became extremely ferocious.

However, Yu Wenhuaji warned him with a cold face: "Second brother, the Yuwen family tree is very powerful."

"We should learn from Li Clan, keep a low profile and wait for the future."

"As long as the [-] Xiaoguo Army is still there, Yang Guang will be able to securely sit in Jiangdu. Do you understand?"

"Yes, brother, I understand."

Yu Wenzhiji's face turned serious and he solemnly replied: "I will deepen my relationship with Sima Dekan and Yuan Li."

"No, it's not just them."

"You must also make friends with Yuan Min, the internal historian, Zhao Xingshu, the general of Hu Yalang, Meng Bing, the general of Ying Yanglang, and Tang Fengyi, the general of Chengmen."

"Including Yang Guang's close ministers, they will win over him at all costs."

Looking at Yuwen Zhiji, Yu Wenhuaji's pupils were deep, faintly reflecting the beautiful mountains and rivers, and his ambition suddenly appeared.

"Yes."

Yuwen Zhi and his mind were shaken by this, and then he turned around and left General Youtunwei's mansion.

Jiangdu said whether it was big or not, and whether it was small or not.

News of Yu Wenhua and his resignation as General Youtunwei spread quickly.

The spies from both the powerful family and the Buddhist and Demonic Clan have captured this important information. Almost everyone believes that the Yuwen Clan has declined. Even Yu Wenhua and the number two figure have been disbanded and returned to their fields. How can there be hope?

Chapter No. 17: With a strong army and strong horses, the young man is full of splendor and brilliance!

Ten months have passed in a flash, and the midsummer heat has arrived.

The original Haisha Gang garrison on the bank of Slender West Lake is now the Shaoshuai Army garrison.

All spies within a hundred miles radius were eliminated by Jin Yiwei, and even a fly flying by could be clearly heard.

Jinyiwei also developed rapidly in Jiangdu. With the help of the underground power of the Haisha Gang and the Zhuhua Gang, it quickly established the Jiangdu Qianhu Office and the Hailing County Hundred Household Office, Ninghai County Hundred Household Office, and Gaoyou County Hundred Household Office under its jurisdiction. The intelligence network of the Hu Office, Jiangyang County Hundred Household Office, and Wujiang County Hundred Household Office covers the entire Jiangdu County, and the latest news is continuously delivered to Kou Zhong's ears.

"Ha ha!"
