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

"The land owned by the Sui Dynasty accounts for about one-thirtieth of the world's land, and its population accounts for 30.00% of the world's population."

"hiss!!!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tongxuan couldn't help but take a breath of air.

The ancients said: The world is vast and endless, but the people of Middle-earth have always believed that they live in the center of the world and own the most land.

But who would have thought that these lands are less than one-thirtieth of the world, so how huge the world must be, and the population is large enough.

He was even more shocked that opening a passage to another world would be such a requirement. This requirement was too difficult.

"A new sect has emerged in the far west. They wield sabers in one hand and hold the Quran in the other to unify every country and region."

"The slogan of this sect is for holy war. What is holy war? It is to eliminate all forces that are unwilling to comply."

"Old Niubi, don't you think the Taoist sect lacks such a spirit?"

"The southwest and even the southern part of the world have been newly enshrined in the Buddhist sect that came from the body poison, but why are the closer-to-the-earth Taoist sects still unable to integrate into it?"

"There are also those cannibalistic cults that are prevalent in Nanyang. Is this something that the Taoist sect can allow to happen?"

"Master Tian, ​​why don't you hold your sword to the west and kill the demons?"

Looking at Zhang Tongxuan, Kou Zhong said with a half-smile.

"Are you planning to tie me into the Chu Kingdom's chariot?"

Zhang Tongxuan looked at Kou Zhong directly with his old, cloudy eyes.

It was so obvious that if he could no longer understand Kou Zhong's thoughts, then his life would have been in vain these past few decades.

"Hahaha!"

"The Heavenly Master is now sixty years old, but the Grand Master can live for 150 years, and you haven't even lived half of his life."

"It's inevitably a bit boring to live alone in Longhu Mountain for a long time. Why not expand the territory for the Middle-earth Taoist Sect and establish a great reputation."

"In the future, future generations will remember that our ancestors were heading west with their swords, slaying demons and demons along the way, and clearing the world. Wouldn't it be wonderful!"

Kou Zhong said with a smile.

The voice fell.

Tianshi Mansion advocate Tongxuan fell into deep thought.

For people like them in the Taoist sect, what they want most is not wealth, let alone worldly power, but reputation.

Zhang Tongxuan has lived for so long, and he is already halfway to the realm of Shattered Void. If he still has concerns in his heart, it is that he wants to surpass Zhang Lu and even Zhang Daoling.

Naturally, it is impossible to reach such a height in Middle-earth step by step. If you really want to expand outside, you may be regarded as the ancestor of the outside world by the Taoist sect. Wouldn't it be a different way?

Seeing that Zhang Tongxuan was a little confused, Kou Zhong continued to place a bargaining chip: "There are spiritual veins in Longhu Mountain, so we can open up no less than three thousand acres of spiritual fields to plant elixirs and spiritual valleys. Gu Ke will order people to set up the spiritual gathering array and provide the spiritual valley seeds." ."

"I think the Heavenly Master should already know that the Linggu is ripe once a month and can weigh no less than three thousand kilograms per acre. It is most suitable for consumption in the Houtian realm."

"Furthermore, medicinal materials such as ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and Ganoderma lucidum can also be planted in spiritual fields. The years will increase faster and the medicinal power will be stronger. Over time, they can transform into elixirs and be used by masters and great masters."

"These three thousand acres of spiritual land can be owned by Zhengyimen."

One sentence after another, full of tempting words, finally made the Master of Heavenly Master Palace unable to bear it any longer.

"The king has any request, but please tell me!"

Zhang Tongxuan stared at Kou Zhong with burning eyes, his meaning already clear.

As long as the conditions are not excessive, their Tianshi Mansion is willing to accept this matter on their behalf.

"I want to know how many masters and great masters there are in Zhengdao now!"

"Including Pindao, there are only two grand masters and more than twenty grand masters."

heard.

Kou Zhong knew what was going on.

Compared with the step from acquired to innate, the step of breaking through the Grand Master has hindered many people.

If the acquired breakthrough fails and the innate breakthrough fails, there may be people who will not die. However, if the master fails to break through the grand master, he will definitely live for a short time, because the step of transforming Qi into Gang is very critical. If you are not careful, your body will die and your Tao will disappear.

Apparently, the great masters of the Zhengyi sect are Zhang Tongxuan and Zhang Qingyang, the leader of the Tianshi sect.

"Two Grand Masters and ten Grand Masters will follow our army to the southwest and annihilate the Southwest and Tiannan."

"The Taoist sect kills the enemy's master and gives him a red fruit. He kills the enemy's great master and gives him a hundred-year-old ginseng."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs will make a note for the time being and allocate rewards in a unified manner. In the event of death, the rewards can be received by heirs, relatives, and apprentices."

"If the captured territory has famous mountains and rivers, Zhengyi can give priority to selecting it as a dojo."

Facing Zhang Tongxuan's gaze, Kou Zhong added again.

"It is my duty to kill demons and demons, and it is my duty to do so!"

all of a sudden.

Tianshifu advocated Tongxuan showing his righteousness and awe-inspiring appearance.

"Hahaha!"

"That's such a happy decision."

"The Heavenly Master can take people to Shuzhou by themselves, and someone will arrange for you there."

Seeing this, Kou Zhong also smiled and said.

Afterwards, he said hello to Zhang Tongxuan, and he and Xu Ziling rode dragon horses and dragon horses respectively, and returned to Chang'an.

.........

In the 13th year of Daye, October [-]th, the fourth moment of the hour.

Daxing Palace, Qinzheng Palace.

All the cavalry generals, guard generals, titled generals, and military advisors in the Chu army were all standing in the hall, including Hou Xibai, the military advisor, Xu Xingzhi, the military commander, Shen Luoyan, the military commander, and Xu Ziling, the former military commander. Everyone's face was filled with joy. With a sense of joy.

A few days ago, Chu State successively captured the lands of Yongliang, Qinglong, and Bashu. It should be the time to reward the generals.

"The king is here!"

With a light drink.

Kou Zhong, wearing a royal robe and a royal crown, appeared in the hall with a majestic face, walked up to the throne, and sat down on the dragon throne.

"Join Your Majesty!"

All the generals bowed and saluted and said greetings.

"Be flat!"

The superior, Kou Zhong, glanced at everyone and raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The generals then regained their posture and returned to their respective positions.

At this time, looking down at the crowd, Kou Zhong's lips curved slightly: "Half a year has passed since the founding of the country last year."

"We, the Great Chu, have taken over at least one-half of the world, and you all have contributed a lot."

"Come here, read the edict."

Swish! ! !

All the generals present raised their heads upon hearing the sound, their faces full of desire and expectation.

The attendant of the King of Chu who was standing aside took out a piece of yellow silk, opened it, and read loudly: "The king's edict: The destiny of Chu is in Chu. It depends on the support of the ministers. The generals must use their orders to gain the land today. Therefore, reward the troops and Show the great Chu."

"The Marquis of Jin, the Marquis of Jin who sacrificed wine to the marquis Xibai and recorded affairs and joined the army in vain, was given the title: Xingyang, Xiangyang."

"Yulin General Li Jing, Yulin General Xie Yingdeng, Jinwu General Zhang Xutuo, Navy Admiral Liu Rengui, Longxiang General Guo Xiaoke, Yingyang General Wang Junkuojin Count, titles: Chaisang, Yugan, Haihun, Liling, Yudu , new dry.”

"Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Wang Junke, You Junda, Yuchigong, Hou Junji, Shi Danai, Fan Hu, Lian Ming, Tiekui are viscounts..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The generals came out happily to thank him.

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!"
