Chapter 154 Nanzhao’s Creed of Credence
"Hui, your Majesty, you have been in seclusion for twelve years!"
"You didn't eat even one bite of the food my slave sent you."
The leader of the Shadow Guard said, and Zheng Yi also frowned at this time.
"Twelve? One day in the Yu world is equivalent to one year in the Huanzhen world?"
"One day in the sky and one year underground?"
Zheng Yi calmed down. Fortunately, he was a second-level qi-training monk and his requirements for ordinary food were not very high.
Otherwise, just the experience in the fantasy world will starve him to death!
"I order Liu Cheng'en and Chen Liancang to prepare a table for me to eat."
"My slave obeys the order!"
The two shadow guards left quickly, and soon a table of food was prepared by Zheng Yi.
Anchovy fin, red plum bean paste, kung pao hare, eight-treasure wild duck, bergamot golden roll, fried cuttlefish shreds, hydrangea scallops, fried guinea fowl, fish fillet with milk...
Dozens of delicacies were placed in front of Zheng Yi. The dazzling array made him move his index fingers and he quickly began to eat to his heart's content.
Chen Liancang and Liu Chengen were also waiting carefully on the side.
After five minutes of fullness, Zheng Yi took a sip of the lotus seed soup and asked: "Cheng'en, I have been in seclusion for the past few days. Will anything big happen in the court?"
"Your Majesty, there are not many major things happening in the court. They are all information related to some rebels."
"Oh? What's the important information?"
"Shuzhou, General Cui Xiawu has completely conquered the Hanzhong area, and has already broken through the Shenjian Pass, the largest pass in Shuzhou, and is now advancing towards Rongcheng, the capital of Shuzhou."
"We have been rebelling against the army all the way and running away, no one is our opponent."
"Oh?"
Zheng Yi was not too surprised. With the red cannon and hot air balloon, if Cui Xiawu couldn't even defeat the Divine Sword Pass, then he would be serving as General Zhaowu for nothing!
"What else?"
"Jingzhou is a place."
Liu Chengen continued: "General Jinpeng defeated the Thirteenth Water Bandits in Jingzhou on land, but he did not have a big ship. He was attacked by the Thirteenth Water Bandits and had to retreat thirty miles."
"But fortunately, General Meng Guang led the Beiyang Navy from the Nulong River to Jingzhou, crossing Haizhou, Jiangzhou, and Jingzhou all the way, and wiped out a large number of anti-thief navy troops."
"The latest information from the past few days is that General Meng Guang has led his navy to defeat three water bandits in Jingzhou, and is currently sieging the largest rebel water bandit in Jingzhou, known as the 'White Dragon in Hunjiang'."
Before Zheng Yi could ask, Liu Chengen continued: "In the direction of Yunzhou, General Guanshan has fully commanded the Yunzhou official army, but he was attacked by Yuezhou Shitianlang and had to turn around to deal with Yuezhou Shiheilang."
< br>
"One more thing. General Shi Heilangshi, the son of Shi Tianlang, who was appointed by your Majesty as the commander-in-chief of Yuezhou, also rebelled, but was killed by General Qu Boqu, the commander of the first division of the First Army of the New Army!"
"Ishiguro Lang rebelled?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liu Chengen said: "When Shi Heilang was passing through Shuzhou, he was sent by the King of Shu to instigate a rebellion. He then raided General Cui Xiawu's camp. Unfortunately, he was killed by... a landmine placed outside the camp by General Cui Xiawu."
Zheng Yi shook his head. These grass-headed kings didn't have much knowledge. They liked to lead their troops to attack when the foreign troops were fighting.
In this way, although it will increase the combat power of the troops under his command and greatly increase the morale, it will also put himself in an extremely dangerous situation.
Once the general in command is killed, the morale of his officers will immediately drop drastically.
In the most serious case, even the entire army will collapse directly.
This is the case for Ishiguro Wolf.
The imperial court treated him well. Not only did he become the commander-in-chief of Yuezhou, he was given a large number of rewards, and he was also given the position of a second-rank general.
Not only was he ungrateful, he was also seduced into rebellion by the anti-king.
This kind of person deserves to die.
Zheng Yi said: "Send an order to Guan Shan, asking him to destroy Yuezhou Shi Tianlang and destroy all nine of his tribes!"
"No!"
"Where else?"
Liu Chengen said: "Your Majesty, in other states, anti-kings from all over the country are fighting each other, and the winner has not been determined yet."
"The imperial court has limited spies in these places and cannot get all the information."
"But we have already found out the general information."
Liu Chengen continued: "The area of Bingzhou was taken by the Wang Family Yin Sect. Its 'Heavenly King's Army' had a strength of 300,000, occupying most of Bingzhou and threatening the capital."
"There are even rumors that there are people suspected of being immortals in the Binzhou Tianwang Army, who control the sky thunder, and once used the sky thunder to kill the governor of Bingzhou in the first battle."
"Immortal? It should be a monk hidden by the Wang family's hidden sect. Unexpectedly, they finally took action."
Zheng Yi said indifferently: "The Wang family collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and it would be a shame not to die."
"After my army pacifies the two states of Sichuan and Jingzhou, they will definitely conquer the two states!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liu Chengen continued: "Haizhou is occupied by Yuanhe Mountain. There are 30,000 disciples under his command, and each one is worth a hundred."
"They recruited refugees, defeated the official army, occupied the state capital, and even sent envoys to request an audience with His Majesty."
"Haizhou? Yuanhe Mountain?"
Zheng Yi frowned. This sect is located in Haizhou. It is a martial arts sect that can compete with Taiyi.
After they occupied Haizhou, why did they send people to see me?
"They sent people to see me. What's the important matter?"
Liu Chengen hesitated for a moment, and Zheng Yi said quietly: "Say."
"Yes!"
"Yuanheshan sent people to ask for an audience with His Majesty, asking Your Majesty to recognize Yuanheshan as the actual ruling sect of Haizhou. The imperial court is not allowed to collect taxes in Haizhou, and the officials and generals sent by the imperial court to Haizhou must be recognized by Yuanheshan..."
"Presumptuous!"
Zheng Yi himself laughed angrily. Yuan Heshan dared to make such a request to the imperial court because he was so brave.
Where do they get their confidence?
"Cut off the ears of the Yuanhe Mountain envoys and tell them to go back!"
"No!"
Liu Chengen continued: "Qingzhou is occupied by the White Lotus Sect."
"It is rumored that a saint from the White Lotus Sect has come to the world. She can float in the water to cure diseases and save people. She can also summon heavenly soldiers and generals. She is invulnerable."
"They defeated the soldiers of Qingzhou County as quickly as possible and invaded Jizhou next door, but were repelled by Taiyi disciples."
"According to the latest information, the White Lotus Sect seems to have had a conflict with Yuanhe Mountain, and a battle broke out between the two sides to compete for the city..."
"Yangzhou and Xuzhou are occupied by the Tuoba family, and Jiangzhou is occupied by Tianlong Temple, but there are still a large number of anti-kings among them, and they are still fighting."
"These anti-kings don't know when the winner will be decided..."
"Ten states have rebelled, but the people are still suffering."
"Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou are okay because they are very close to the capital. Nearly a million refugees have come here in the past two years." "After all, in the whole world, only your Majesty's capital is the safest."
"Not only can you find a way to survive, but you can also stutter, and you can even save a lot of money..."
"The other southern states are in dire straits..."
Zheng Yi shook his head, it was too messy.
Now the entire Yu world is almost in a state of chaos. There are dozens or even dozens of rebel kings in almost every state.
The large number is hundreds of thousands, and the small number is 30 to 40 thousand. They are all attacking cities and plundering territories everywhere, conquering and conquering each other.
It would really take a lot of time for Zheng Yi to kill so many anti-kings in one go.
"Where is General Xu? Is there any news about him?"
Liu Chengen did not reply, but looked at Chen Liancang.
Chen Liancang said respectfully: "Your Majesty, General Xu has returned to Yunzhou and is returning to the capital."
"General Xu, are you okay?"
Zheng Yi said in surprise: "When can I return to the capital?"
Chen Liancang whispered: "Your Majesty, General Xu's left arm was cut off and he entered the Nanzhao Kingdom alone... He killed the Grand Protector of the Nanzhao Kingdom and forced the King of Nanzhao to sign a treaty between the two countries."
"The Kingdom of Nanzhao sent Princess Lingyin to the capital to become your concubine."
"The Kingdom of Nanzhao surrendered to Dayu and recognized Dayu as its suzerain state. The Kingdom of Nanzhao has been a vassal state of Dayu for generations!"
"What?!"
Zhengyong eight years, November 25th.
Xu Mujun entered Nanzhao Kingdom alone, and was blocked by Nanzhao Kingdom's 3,000 elite Nanlin troops at Taohuazhang, the dividing line between the two countries.
Xu Mu's army, one man and one sword, penetrated the Nanlin Army's formation, killed 1,562 Nanlin Army soldiers, and killed the leader of the Nanlin Army, Luo Lin!
In the eighth year of Zhengyong, November 28th.
Xu Mu's army was blocked by She Longzi, the great protector of Nanzhao, and the two sides started a battle.
On that day, Xu Mujun used the flying sword technique to kill the great mage She Longzi of Nanzhao Kingdom!
In the eighth year of Zhengyong, it is the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Xu Mu's army entered the capital of Nanzhao, but was blocked by 20,000 imperial guards.
Xu Mu's army advanced, and the 20,000 imperial guards retreated.
Xu Mu's army advances again, and the 20,000 imperial guards retreat again!
King Nanzhao persuaded Long Sheng to come forward in person, and 20,000 imperial guards surrounded Xu Mu's army!
On that day, Xu Mujun spit out flying swords, which turned into blood and killed more than 3,800 Nanzhao Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Guards of Nanzhao Kingdom collapsed!
Ignoring the order of the king of Nanzhao, he turned around and fled for his life.
The king of Nanzhao persuaded Long Sheng that the whole country had to surrender.
Three days later, the king of Nanzhao issued an edict and announced several edicts.
First: Princess Lingyin of Nanzhao Kingdom entered Yu and became the concubine of the Emperor of Yu.
Second: The whole country of Nanzhao surrendered and regarded Dayu as the suzerain state.
Third: Nanzhao's 120,000 border troops were all led by Yunzhou Commander Guan Shan.
Fourth, the garrison at Taohuazhang on the border of Nanzhao was withdrawn and Dayu sent troops to guard it.
Fifth: The king of Nanzhao persuaded Long Sheng to abdicate, and his seventh son persuaded Xu Bai to succeed.
Sixth:...
When he saw the memorial submitted by Xu Mujun and the credentials signed by the two countries, Zheng Yi rubbed his eyes and almost didn't believe it.
Are you kidding me?
Are you sure this is a letter of credence and not a document of surrender?
All military power and national defense were handed over, and Nanzhao was left with only a part of the political power exercised within its own territory.
From this point of view, Nanzhao Kingdom is almost equivalent to a state of Dayu.
The king of Nanzhao was able to sign so many treaties, so he must have been frightened by Xu Mujun.
Zheng Yi immediately ordered: "I ordered the defenders along the way to ensure the safety of General Xu, and welcome everything with the courtesy of a king. Do you understand?"
Liu Chengen was shocked and said quickly: "I obey the order!"
Chen Liancang suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I still have something to report."
"What's the matter?"
"The Captain of Tianshou Mountain Touching Gold has already broken through the konjac and sea lotus roots and found the main tomb of Taizu."
"Because they don't dare to enter without His Majesty's orders."
"Get through?"
Zheng Yi's eyes suddenly lit up. It has been almost five years since he finally dug in front of the main tomb!
This ancestor's tomb is really difficult to dig.
"Liu Chengen, look at the palace."
"Mr. Chen, follow me to Tianshou Mountain!"
"No!"
When the sky was getting dark, Zheng Yi led a large number of imperial guards and finally arrived at Tianshou Mountain.
"We see your Majesty!"
Under the leadership of Hu Bafeng, more than a dozen Mojin captains and hundreds of 'staff' knelt down respectfully and shouted long live the mountain.
"Get flat!"
Zheng Yi said: "Hu Bafeng, you have done a good job, I will have my own reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After more than four years of continuous excavation of the imperial tomb, Hu Bafeng's face was weathered and his hands were covered with calluses.
And because he has been frying konjac and sea lotus roots almost every day for the past two years, he seems to have a hearing problem.
When talking to others, you must shout loudly, otherwise you will not be heard clearly.
Under the leadership of Hu Bafeng, Zheng Yi led people into the tomb of Taizu.
The Konjac and Sea Lotus that originally occupied a huge wall had now been dug out into a deep and dark passage, enough for five people to walk side by side.
Walking into the konjac and sea lotus passage, after a cup of tea, the scenery suddenly opened up.
Huge stalactites hung upside down above the head, and even the surrounding air was filled with rich moisture.
In front of Zheng Yi, a huge bronze cauldron appeared.
Behind the giant bronze cauldron is a huge bronze gate, guarded by a ferocious dragon-shaped evil beast.
On both sides of the giant bronze door, a pair of huge couplets are carved.
First couplet: I hope the bullfight will take the flying fairy to fly;
Second line: The breeze embraces the bright moon and lasts forever.
Hengbiao: Soaring in the daytime!
