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

"In half a year, he is still a first-time master. This rate of progress is terrifying."

"Third brother, you may have underestimated his courage."

With deep eyes, Song Que said meaningfully: "He probably wants to use Chu State to attract attention and hide his true thoughts."

"Jiang Nan may not mean what he means, and sometimes it may be a false move."

what?

heard.

Silver Dragon Song Lu changed his expression and blurted out: "What the eldest brother means is that Kou Zhong may not want to seize the entire Jiangnan next."

"His true goals are still open to question?"

"Ah."

Tiandao Songtou nodded and continued: "The master's teaching has conveyed Kou Zhong's true intention."

"This Duke of Chu wants all the power of our Song family in Shu."

"Moreover, as a father, I didn't notice that Hua'er was so sad in Shu."

"But Kou Zhong knew the news about Hua'er before I did. It can be seen that the Chu Kingdom's royal guards are pervasive."

"Brother, Hua'er is serious..."

Silver Dragon Song Lu had felt something was wrong a few years ago when Song Yuhua had not returned to the Song clan for several years.

It's just that Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, has been addicted to seclusion, so he can't meddle in this matter rashly.

"Ah."

"Xie Hui is really my good brother."

"Unknowingly, I got connected with Buddhism, and I actually broke through the peak of Grandmaster and became a half-step Grandmaster."

"Bashu has many elixirs, and he alone accounts for at least [-]% of them."

"Hua'er has been imprisoned by Jie Wenlong for three years. He can't even leave the door."

"The Song clan's spy in Duzun Fort has been bribed for a long time."

Speaking of this, Heavenly Sword Song Que's eyes were filled with cold light.

Cihang Jingzhai Fan Qinghui once used her beauty to seduce him and Xie Hui when he was young. At that time, Song Que saw through the Buddhist conspiracy and did not agree.

Therefore, there is still no Buddhist temple in the eighteen counties of Lingnan.

But he never thought that his sworn brother Xie Hui would agree to enter Shu.

I'm afraid that today, the reality of Bashu has been clearly discovered by Buddhism, and they are ready to tell Li Clan at any time.

If the Li clan goes south to Guanzhong and seizes Bashu, it will have the power to strengthen Qin in the past, and it will only be a matter of time before it unifies the world.

"asshole."

"The Jie family actually treats Hua'er like this."

"Brother, this matter must not be let go."

The silver dragon Song Lu often appears angry. Song Yuhua is the eldest lady of the Song family, and therefore the niece who grew up under his care.

The dignified eldest lady of the Song Dynasty had been imprisoned for three years, and not even the slightest news had been spread. If Kou Zhong hadn't exposed the matter, they would have been kept in the dark.

If this spreads out, how will the world view the Song clan?

"Third brother."

"Contact the three great commanders and ask them to help us send [-] elite soldiers into Shu County without anyone noticing."

"Since Kou Zhong wants it, I will give him a big gift~"

"Not only will all the power of the informants in Shu be given to him, but also these [-] elite soldiers will be given to him."

"I want to see if with these [-] elite soldiers, the real dragon Koo Zhong can overwhelm Shu."

Song Que said in a deep voice with a cold look.

"Yes."

Silver Dragon Song Lu was shocked and immediately went down to make arrangements.

.......

Jinyang, Li Clan.

"father."

"The power of the Chu army is at its peak."

"After the battle in Jiangxia, the people of the world saw the strong side of Kou Zhong and cut off the river with one sword."

"Although the Grand Master is not absolutely invincible, the name of Chu Gong Kou Zhong is already equivalent to invincibility."

"If the Chu army attacks again, many places may collapse without a fight."

"Furthermore, the Shuanglong Gang has taken root in Yuhang and has more than [-] members."

"In less than a year, the Chu army will capture Jiangdong and Xiangchu, and Jiangnan will be under control. Who can control it?"

Li Shimin said with a solemn expression.

Not long after Li Clan decided to cooperate with Buddhism, all four Buddhist saints died.

A rising young marshal actually controlled the territory of ten counties and established the country as a duke. This was a greater threat than any other force.

"What Shimin said is not unreasonable."

"The fight for the dragon should be fought sooner rather than later."

"It's just that our army is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Zhen Zhai'er in Queshu Valley, and we won't be able to determine the outcome in a short period of time."

"In Taiyuan County, Wang Wei and Gao Junya, the deputy left-behind officers, also control a large number of elite soldiers."

"Even if you want to go south, you can't do anything!"

As he spoke, Li Yuan looked a little bitter.

Zhen Zhai'er, the Lishan flying thief himself, has the late-stage cultivation of a grandmaster, and the tens of thousands of thieves under his command are equally fierce.

Last time, Li Yuan was almost cut off from his retreat. If it weren't for the source of Li Shimin's troops, he might have been in trouble long ago.

Zhen Zhai'er's troops were entrenched in Linfen County, which was in the upper reaches of the Fen River. If they had not defeated this bandit, how could the Li clan go south to seize Jiangjun and Hedong counties, and then knock off Hangu and enter Guanzhong.

"father."

"Zhenren Ziyang sent a message, saying that Yuanba has come down from the mountain and will return to Jinyang soon."

"Jinyang Commander Liu Wenjing and Jinyang Palace Supervisor Pei Ji have expressed their willingness to join our Li family."

"Now, we just need to keep an eye on Wang Wei and Gao Junya and bribe their people."

"When Yuan Ba ​​comes back, first defeat Zhen Zhai'er and then raise an army!"

Facing Li Yuan's gaze, Li Shimin said solemnly.

"What? Yuanba is coming back."

"Good! Wow!"

When Li Yuan heard that Li Yuanba was coming back, he almost burst into laughter.

Three years ago, Li Yuanba was already a mid-stage master, and now he is at least a late-stage master, with immense power.

With him here, Li Clan's army will be invincible.

Therefore, Li Yuan accepted all Li Shimin's suggestions, and Li Clan's army also began to secretly accumulate strength and prepare to start.

Coincidentally, the Yuwen Clan is also accelerating the pace of wooing the Xiaoguo Army. Among the four great clans in the world, only the Dugu Clan is sitting in the pass, and the old god is still there.

The major rebel kings were not idle either. As if they were stimulated, Zhai Rang of the Wagang Army proclaimed himself Queen of Xingyang, and then sent troops to capture Dongjun, doubling his territory. Li Mi took all Weijun and named himself Duke Wei. , stepped onto the stage of history.

For a time, the wind and clouds surged, and the smell of gunpowder smoke in the world became more intense.

Kou Zhong, the instigator, greeted Sui army Zhang Xutuo, Jia Wuben, Qin Qiong and others at Poyang Pier.

"Young Marshal, here we come!"

As the sun sets in the west, the golden afterglow spreads all over Pengli Lake, and the water light reflects the sunset, which is particularly beautiful.

Hundreds of large ships with thousands of materials appeared on the lake in the distance, carrying iron ore sent from Jiangxia. This was a must-see scene for Peng Lize every day.

On the first ship, there were several wretched figures standing, looking particularly desolate. The leader was a burly veteran who was over fifty years old.

"That is..."

Zhang Xutuo and others at the bow of the ship also looked at the young man in black clothes and python suit who was surrounded by Jinyi guards. They looked at him like a dragon and a tiger, and there was an indescribable domineering look in his hands and feet.

If they guessed correctly, this is the Lord of Jiangzuo, Duke of Chu Kou Zhong.

When they were on the boat, they already knew that Kou Zhong established the country with nine counties on the left side of the river, which shocked the world.

But what they didn't expect was that the dignified Lord Chu would actually appear at the dock to greet them. This was too unimaginable.

Immediately, the big ship quickly sailed into the dock and docked. Zhang Xutuo and others got off the ship in unison and hurriedly walked towards the shore.

"Mr. Chu! You can't do it!"

"If the defeated general had not been rescued by the Jinyi Guards, he would have died tragically in Dahai Temple. How can I trouble you to condescend to greet him?"

Zhang Xutuo stepped forward and knelt down on one knee with tears of gratitude on his face and said.

Behind him, Jia Wuben, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Cheng Yaojin and other generals also felt very warm in their hearts.

Chu Gong Kou Zhong's personal greeting instantly won the respect and admiration of these defeated Sui generals.

"General Zhang fought on the battlefield for the country and the people. Today's defeat is not the fault of the general, but is actually destiny!"

"I come to welcome you not as Duke of Chu, but as a common citizen."

"If there were no generals, how many people would be called kings and how many would be called dukes in this world, and the people would already be miserable."

Looking at Zhang Xutuo, Kou Zhong spoke solemnly.

These words are not false, they are just thoughts from the heart.

In the Sui Dynasty, only Zhang Xutuo turned the tide. Starting from the fourth year of Renshou, he continued to suppress rebellions all over the country, killing Wang Bo, Sun Xuanya, Shi Zhenya, Hao Xiaode, Pei Changcai, Shi Zihe, Zuo Xiaoyou, Lu Mingyue and other rebel kings. Hearing the news, he was frightened and stopped the decline of the Sui Dynasty.

Most of the rebel kings in the world are ambitious people who do not care about the life and death of the people at all. If they are allowed to grow stronger, the lives of the people will be even more difficult.

"With Duke Chu's words, my life will not be in vain."

Zhang Xutuo looked moved, and it took him a long time to utter these words.

Many people regarded him as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty was even more afraid of him. Little did they know that he just wanted to do something for the people.

"..Hahaha!"

"Don't blow the cool breeze here."

"I have ordered people to prepare a mansion in Poyang City."

"Everyone will check in first, and then come to my house for a banquet in the evening."

With that said, Kou Zhong helped Zhang Xutuo up and got into the carriage hand in hand.

Jia Wuben, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and Cheng Yaojin also got on the carriage, and the group returned to Poyang in a mighty manner.

As the sun sets, many farmers in the fields of Poyang return home one after another. Every citizen's face is filled with happiness and satisfaction. Moreover, the official road is paved with bluestone slabs, and canals are built on both sides. There are neat fields separated by A short distance away you can see a water tanker diverting water for irrigation.

Smoke billows from cooking fires not far away, and every household seems to have chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and the sound of dogs can be heard one after another, giving the impression that the people of Sri Lanka are well-off.

"It is rumored that the rule of Duke Chu is not that of the wise kings of ancient times. Looking at it today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

"It's just that I'm a little confused. Does Mr. Chu really hate the aristocratic family so he can please the people?"

Sitting in the car and looking at the scene outside through the car window, Zhang Xutuo was so moved that he couldn't help but ask.

Not only him, Jia Wuben, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and Cheng Yaojin also looked at Kou Zhong with curiosity.

In fact, Zhang Xutuo was the grandson of Zhang Si, Duke of Nanyang County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Qin Qiong was the son of Qin Yi, the general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Cheng Yaojin was born in the Cheng family of Dong'a, which was considered a noble family, not to mention Jia Wu. There was a wealthy family in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but only Luo Shixin came from a rough background.

Therefore, several people here are very concerned about Kou Zhong's reputation for killing aristocratic families.

"Ha ha!"

heard.
