Unification of the Country (Grand Finale)

Gao Bufan led his army into Chang'an City without encountering any resistance. It was like entering an uninhabited land and went straight to the palace. At this moment, the entire palace was almost empty. It was not until the Qi army searched the Chengqing Palace that they found Li Li

Xuan Ba’s dazed medicine girl immediately reported it.

Gao Bufan has such a sensitive sixth sense. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw that Li Xuanba was lifeless in the arms of the medicine girl. He couldn't help being slightly shocked. Changsun Wuji frowned and said: "It seems that Yuwen Daoxin died of smallpox."

!”

Gao Bufan couldn't help but secretly lament that things in the world are unpredictable. Li Xuanba has always been an invincible little strongman. He thought that he and he would have a fierce battle sooner or later, but he didn't expect that the other party would die of smallpox. Is this considered self-inflicted?

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!" Sun Simiao shouted, while Ruo Gu frowned and shouted: "Nie Zhu, you are really here!" After saying that, she strode forward fiercely.

The medicine girl was slightly startled and looked up. She looked horrified and shivered all over. Then she fell to her knees on the ground, kowtowed and begged: "Master, please help Xuan Ba."

Gao Bufan was a little surprised that this Ruogu was actually the medicine girl's master, but after thinking about it, it made sense.

Ruogu said with murderous intent: "A stinky man is worthy of your life and death, but you even used the same life poison to extend his life."

"Disciple is willing to trade his own life for Xuan Ba's life." Yao Nu sobbed.

Ruo Gu was so furious that she slapped Yao Nu on the head with her palm and said sternly: "Then go to hell, you idiot!"

Ruogu's palm was powerful and heavy, and the fierce wind blew the dust on the ground. Pei Xingyan and Cheng Yaojin both secretly dumbfounded, this fierce woman's palm power is so powerful, it is really beyond appearances.

Seeing that the medicine girl was about to be slapped on the head, Sun Simiao arrived at the side without knowing it, and took Ruogu's wrist lightly. This time, even Gao Bufan showed a look of surprise. It seemed that Sun Yaowang was not only

His medical skills are superb, and his martial arts skills are also superb. I'm afraid he's not as good as his eldest brother, the bearded man.

When the medicine girl saw Sun Simiao, she felt as if she had grasped a life-saving straw. She kowtowed and begged: "Master, please save Xuan Ba. The smallpox was released by the medicine girl on her own initiative. It is none of his business. Please save him."

Bar."

Sun Simiao sighed and said: "You can still live if you do evil by God, but you can't live if you do evil by yourself. This person's life has been cut off for a long time. Even Daluo Jinxian can't save him, let alone a poor Taoist!"

Hearing this, the medicine girl couldn't help but burst into tears in despair. Ruogu shouted impatiently: "Shut up, what kind of drug did this man give you, a little prostitute, and actually..."

Ruo Gu's expression changed drastically before she finished speaking. She pinched Yao Nv's cheeks with her left hand and inserted two fingers of her right hand into the latter's throat to prick her throat a few times. Yao Nv suddenly vomited out a pool of filth, filth.

There seems to be something like a pill in it.

"It's not easy to commit suicide by taking poison!" Ruogu looked ferocious as she untied the gourd from her waist and poured liquid into the medicine girl's mouth.

Wow…………

The medicine girl drank half of the gourd liquid and began to vomit violently. As she vomited, she even began to vomit blood, smelly and black blood.

Ruogu was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned grim. Her legs went limp and she fell to the ground. It turned out that the medicine girl had stabbed a dagger in her chest, hitting her heart. It was estimated that the dagger was quenched with poison, and she started to tremble all over.

It's dark, it's really decisive.

Sun Simiao hurriedly took out a pill and stuffed it into the medicine girl's mouth, but in the end he shook his head and sighed, and gently put the medicine girl's body down. It was obviously hopeless.

Ruogu couldn't help stroking the corpse and crying: "Silly girl, why are you so stupid? Is it worth it for a man?"

Sun Simiao sighed, bowed to Gao Bufan and said, "Your Majesty, can I dispose of the bodies of these two people by myself?"

Ruogu cried so heartbrokenly while holding the medicine girl's body. It was obvious that the relationship between the two was more than just master and apprentice, so Gao Bufan nodded and said, "It's okay!"

"Thank you for your grace!" Sun Simiao bowed his head again and left the palace with the bodies of Li Xuanba and Yaonv.

After the Qi army entered Chang'an, the first thing they did was to post a notice to calm the people, and then began to disinfect the whole city and treat the people suffering from smallpox. Because of their previous experience, everything was done step by step and orderly, and it only took a month.

Over a period of time, the epidemic situation in Chang'an City and surrounding areas gradually stabilized. By February of the following year, there were no new cases. This wave of smallpox epidemic was completely over, and it was just in time for spring plowing, without delaying the farming season.

As the saying goes, when there is a crisis, there is an opportunity. Although the plague almost wiped out Gao Qi's 200,000 troops, in the end it allowed Gao Bufan to capture Chang'an without spending a single soldier, and it also allowed Gao Bufan to win

He strengthened the morale of the military and the people, and won the support of the gentry and people in Guanzhong.

The Li family was originally a member of the Guanlong gentry with deep roots and luxuriant roots, but this time Li Tang broke the hearts of the people in Guanzhong. After releasing the poison, he abandoned the Western Regions and did not care about the lives of the people in Guanzhong. Compared with the benevolence, righteousness and responsibility of Emperor Qi

After this battle, even if Li Shimin led his army back from the Western Regions in the future, he would probably no longer be supported by the gentry and people in Guanzhong.

In August of the fourth year of Daqi Tianbao, the Guanzhong area was completely stabilized. Gao Bufan returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and immediately announced a general amnesty for the whole country and changed the title of the next year to Taiping. This was followed by a series of drastic reforms, including counting the registered population and redistributing the country.

land to promote the restoration of production.

After nearly ten years of turmoil in the late Sui Dynasty, the land of China has finally stabilized again, and the people have finally ushered in the long-lost days of peace. The Daqi Dynasty, which was waiting to be revitalized, is full of vitality. Under the hard work of Gao Changqing, the founding hero of the country, Gao Changqing worked hard to rule.

Next, the national power is increasing day by day, and a picture of a prosperous age is slowly unfolding...

Let us say that since Li Shimin fled to the Western Regions, he has been trying to find opportunities to return to Guanzhong and restore the Tang Dynasty. However, what awaits him is an increasingly powerful Daqi, and the people of Guanzhong are getting further and further away from Li Tang.

In despair, Li Shimin had no choice but to turn all his ambitions to the Western Regions. It must be said that Li Shimin did have the appearance of a hero, but he was born at the wrong time. Under his painstaking efforts, Li Tang gradually became stronger in the Western Regions.

It continued to annex small countries, and finally unified almost the entire Western Region, and its territory even extended to Persia. It was known in history as the Western Tang Dynasty, which brought great pressure to the western frontier of Da Qi. Of course, this is all for later and will not be discussed here.

.

In the fourth year of Taiping in the Qi Dynasty, the Northern Capital built by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng was completed. The whole country celebrated. Gao Bufan took the Queen's eldest grandson Wugao, his concubines Yang Qingruo, Bai Yunshang, Dou Xianniang and Cui Shirou on a northern tour and visited the Northern Capital.

Envoys from the road came to congratulate one after another. Taoist leader Wang Yuanzhi and Buddhist leader Huijing Shitai led their representatives to visit him. Gao Bufan gave them a grand reception, continuing the Sui Dynasty's policy of promoting both Buddhism and Taoism.

Just when Gao Bufan was accepting the coming of all nations in the northern capital, the Turkic Jieli Khan came out to increase his presence. He sent cavalry to attack Zhuojun and carried out plundering for several days. Although Daqi's losses were not big, they were still there.

He lost face in front of envoys from various countries.

Gao Bufan was furious and ordered Li Jing and Xu Shiji to expedition to the north of the Turks and capture Jieli Khan and the princess of Kedunyi City who was behind the attack.

In the fifth year of peace in Da Qi, Da Qi's two war gods each led an army of 100,000 troops from the east and west to the foot of Yin Mountain. They attacked from both sides. In the end, Li Jing personally led 3,000 cavalry to brave the snow and storm at the foot of Yudu Jin Mountain.

In the Turkic Yazhang, they captured and killed the princess of Ke Guo Yicheng, and took away more than 300,000 cattle, sheep and horses, and a population of more than 30,000. They returned in triumph.

Jieli Khan fled in a hurry to the Jiuxing Tiele area and rested south of Moyuer Lake. The next year, he tried to return south to reorganize his old troops. Daqi spies intercepted the information. Li Jing and Xu Shiji attacked again, encircling Jieli Khan on all sides.

With no way out, he fled to Khitan, but was eventually captured by Lu Sheng, the general manager of Da Qi Yingzhou, and sent to Luoyang to be beheaded. His head was eventually sent to nine sides to promote the prestige of Da Qi.

Since then, the Turks were destroyed by Da Qi. The northern nomadic tribe Shi Shu surrendered to Da Qi and respected Da Qi Emperor Gao Bufan as the Khan of Heaven.

In the fifth year of peace in the Qi Dynasty, Fu Gongyou used the name of Du Fuwei to summon his old troops to rebel in Liyang County. Du Fuwei was serving as an official in Luoyang at this time. He was so frightened that he immediately ran to the driver and fell on the ground to plead guilty. Not only did Gao Bufan fail to capture Du

Fuwei questioned the crime and appointed him as the marching commander, responsible for leading the army to suppress Fugongyou. Du Fuwei did not disappoint Gao Bufan, and finally annihilated Fugongyou, captured Fugong alive, and escorted him to Luoyang for trial.

In August of the sixth year of Taiping in the Qi Dynasty, Fu Gongyou was sentenced to the punishment of breaking a chariot. This was in response to the prophecy made by Shen Faxing before his death. Fu Gongyou was not good-looking and would not die well. His final fate would be even worse than that of Shen Faxing.

In the eighth year of the Great Peace of the Qi Dynasty, Li Jing, who was over 60 years old, led his army to pacify Tuyuhun. His military achievements vaguely surpassed Xu Shiji's. At this time, Li Shimin was gradually growing in power in the Western Regions. It was said that the Holy Emperor intended to lead the Western Expedition, but Shangshu's right servant shot Du Ruhui.

He suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away in the twelfth lunar month. The Holy Emperor was deeply saddened and announced a ten-day suspension of the imperial court and a two-year cessation of troops to support the people.

In the ten years of peace in the Qi Dynasty, the Lingyun Giant Buddha at Lingyun Temple in Meishan County was finally completed. Gao Bufan accompanied Bai Yunshang, the imperial charioteer, to witness the consecration ceremony of the Lingyun Giant Buddha and wrote an imperial inscription.

In the eleventh year of the Taiping of the Qi Dynasty, Gao Bufan personally conquered Goguryeo and appointed the rising star Xue Rengui as the commander of the army. He conquered Goguryeo in one fell swoop. From the beginning, all the barbarians surrendered. Looking at the world, only one country from the Western Tang Dynasty remained in the vicinity of the Qi Dynasty.

In the fifteenth year of the Taiping of the Qi Dynasty, Emperor Li Shimin of the Western Tang Dynasty died of illness. Gao Bufan sent Xu Shiji and Xue Rengui to conquer the west. It took three years to finally conquer the Western Regions. Emperor Li Chengqian of the Western Tang Dynasty went into exile in Persia. At this point, the territory of the Da Qi Dynasty reached Goguryeo in the east and Goguryeo in the west.

And Central Asia, reaching Lake Baikal in the north and Jiaozhi in the south. Its vast territory, its military might, its national power are so powerful that it is so powerful that the whole world surrenders. (End of the book)
