Chapter 54 Unification of the world
The news that Ling Donglai and Li Gong broke the void before Xuanwu Gate was immediately spread throughout the world by the martial arts people watching the battle. The departure of these two people will bring varying degrees of shock to the country and the world.
First of all, at the national level, those aliens who were intimidated by the power of Ling Donglai and did not dare to invade the final one, such as the Eastern Turks and Goguryeo, began to move and move frequently after receiving the news that Ling Donglai had broken the void.
Secondly, in terms of the world, the current situation where the Holy Church is dominant will change with the departure of Li Gong.
It is just because everything in the Holy Church is based on his absolute strength, and the power of victory in every battle allows Li Gong to forcibly implement reforms regardless of the opposition voices within the church.
But with Li Gong's departure, will his previous efforts be wasted? Although the position of the sect leader of the Holy Sect was designated as the deputy leader Zhu Yuyan before Li Gong ascended, he would eventually be unable to suppress the wave of opposition within the sect because he did not have the same strength as his former sect leader.
It is almost foreseeable that this wave will split the uneasy magic sect.
This is also a matter of Buddhism’s pleasure in seeing things. If the holy teachings cause internal struggle due to division, the opportunity for Buddhism’s prosperity will reappear.
As expected, the holy religion, which had already swept the martial arts world, finally showed a split.
First, the most complete Butian Pavilion was preserved, and under the leadership of this generation, Yang Xuyan, was the first to withdraw from the Holy Church.
Later, the parts of the Demonic Sect and the True Pagoda within the Holy Sect also split to varying degrees, and some of the backbone of the sects broke out with some disciples.
Fortunately, the Lotus Sect, the three sects of the Death and the Shengji Sect were completely destroyed because the sect leader was dead by Li Gong.
These news naturally made Buddhism, which was suppressed by the Holy Church, ecstatic, and believed that Buddhism would be like the ones that year when the Northern and Southern Dynasties swept across the south. Although Buddhism was severely injured, it gained a chance to breathe due to Sun En's ascension and flourished again.
The only thing that made Buddhism feel regretful is that Shi Zhixuan, the "evil king" who originally thought they would carry the banner of splitting the Holy Church and could compete with Zhu Yuyan, did not take this opportunity to appear, which completely ended the Holy Church, which had already split.
Could it be that it was dealt with early before the battle between Li Gong and Ling Donglai?
Unlike the optimistic attitude that dominated the mainstream in Buddhism, Fan Qinghui holds a different view.
She believes that the holy religion is the greatest enemy of Buddhism.
It is because the Holy Teaching is different from the Tianshi Taoist Taoist where only Donglai takes the lead.
The Yinkui Sect, whose original body, was originally an evil leader who was not inferior to Cihang Jingzhai. There were many masters in his sect, and he needed to be taken seriously by Buddhism.
Although I have lost Li Gong, a master who has been fighting for a lifetime, the foundation of the Holy Teaching has not dispersed. Although the number of masters in the sect is separated, the number is still better than that of Buddhism.
In contrast, due to the bloody purge of Li Gong, the four great monks and other masters of the Buddhist temple were all lost. The many Buddhist temples that were the foundation were also cut off by Li Gong, and a large number of middle and low-level talents were lost.
But her voice was also due to Li Gong's previous attempt to punish her heart, Buddhism no longer paid attention to it.
Even if the world is in the world, it will not affect the progress of the frontline war and the general trend of the unification of the world.
Just when something happened to the Holy Sect, Li Tang's army had already completed the encirclement of Kou Zhong's Young Commander's army.
Li Yuanji took the lead in leading the troops to join Li Shimin, causing the balance of victory to tilt towards Li Tang.
When Li Jiancheng (Chengqian) arrived with the troops who went to Hebei, Kou Zhong knew that there was no hope of victory, but he was supported by his unyielding breath in his heart, which enabled him to withstand the attack from the Li Tang army from all directions.
On the other hand, in order to accumulate military merits for Li Jiancheng (Chengqian) and suppress Li Shimin, Li Yuan issued an imperial edict to replace Li Jiancheng (Chengqian) as the commander and lead the army.
After seeing that the Young Marshal's Army survived the first round of Tang army attacks and still maintained high morale, Li Jiancheng (Chengqian) ordered the change of strong attack to siege and not attack.
Just because Li Jiancheng knew that although he had an absolute advantage, Kou Zhong, as the son of the plane in this world, who knew whether he would cheat and turn the tables on the Jedi.
Even if he could not turn the tables, Li Jiancheng (Chengqian) was afraid of forcing a tiger to hurt people, which would cause him to burn his boats and cause huge damage to his army.
Therefore, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji were rejected in one battle and began to build a strong village and beat a fool.
He surrounded Kou Zhong's young commander's army and sent cavalry to cut off his food route.
No matter how he provoked, he would not send troops.
When Kou Zhong saw that Li Jiancheng (Chengqian) did not send troops to fight him. He knew that the food and grass were about to be exhausted, he thought of leading his army to break through and launching a series of fierce attacks on the Tang army's camp.
But they were all held back by Li Jiancheng (Chengqian), but instead he suffered heavy losses due to attacking the well-equipped Tang army.
There were also some small episodes in the middle. The Turks and Goguryeo sent troops to invade, but were defeated by Luo Shixin and others, and the leaders of the Prince's Mansion generals, beheaded a total of 70,000.
With the pacification of Hebei and Jiangnan, Li Tang's army arrived more and more, and Kou Zhong had a slim hope of breaking out of the encirclement.
At this moment, the arrival of two visitors from Li Jiancheng's central army camp brought life to Kou Zhong.
The visitor was Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan.
Their purpose of coming to the camp was not to hijack Li Jiancheng, but to Kou Zhong seek a glimmer of hope.
Seeing that the two were so loyal, Li Jiancheng (Chengqian) asked them to join the Young Marshal's Army to send a message to Kou Zhong. If he was willing to surrender, he would let his Young Marshal's Army have a way out.
He himself can survive, but the price is to accept Li Tang's imprisonment and release him when the world is stable.
After Kou Zhong received the letter of persuasion from the two of them and left the tent to inspect the camp, he accepted the suggestion of Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan and surrendered to the Tang army.
I also accepted the Tang army's house arrest and was sent to Chang'an.
All the world has returned to Li Tang.
Li Shimin and Li Yuanji returned to Chang'an with the troops escorted Kou Zhong, while Li Jiancheng (Chengqian) had to arrange troops to withdraw his original territory in batches, and then lead his direct troops, Lin Jun, the commander of his direct troops, and Wen Chen, the general under the Prince's Mansion, to join him and return to Chang'an.
But just when Li Jiancheng returned to the court, he kept receiving secret reports from his own secret spies arranged in Chang'an City.
After Li Shimin returned to the court, he was first named General Tiance, led the Situ, and the Shangshu Ling of the Daxingtai of Shaanxi. He was in power and was appointed as the prince and the fief increased to 30,000 households.
But then, a group of civil and military officials and generals under his command, were transferred by Li Yuan, who found various excuses to be transferred and dismissed.
Just as Li Jiancheng (Chengqian) led the Changlin army and his civil servants and generals under him were approaching Chang'an, he received an obituary for Li Yuan to kill Liu Wenjing.
