Chapter 199 Go to Longhu Mountain Again (1)
According to historical records, in the first year of Xiangfu, Zhao Kai ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Half a year later, gunfire broke out in Liyang, and Western Chu, which had been destroyed for 20 years, resurrected. Under the leadership of Princess Jiang Si and Cao Changqing, the country was restored, and countless old ministers of Western Chu
They responded one after another, and the Western Chu army was unstoppable. They won consecutive battles and most of Guangling Road fell. Liyang's army retreated steadily, and the vassal king who supported his troops and respected himself chose to sit back and watch.
In the same year, the new emperor Zhao Kai decided to personally lead an army of 150,000 from Liyang, and conquered it himself. He swept away the previous decline and won every battle. Soon he came to Shenhuang City, the capital of Western Chu, and the destruction of Chu was just around the corner.
Victory was in sight, but unexpectedly at this moment, two powerful vassal kings from Liyang suddenly defected and planned to rebel. They assembled hundreds of thousands of troops in Lai County in an attempt to surround and kill the emperor.
The situation was precarious. Just when everyone thought that the new emperor was bound to die, they never thought that this was actually the new emperor's plan. At the critical moment, Xichu and Shu King Chen Zhibao chose to defect to Liyang. The situation was reversed in an instant, and hundreds of thousands of people rebelled.
The army was defeated like a mountain, and all of them became prisoners within a day.
It lasted less than half a year, and finally ended with Liyang's great victory, King Jing'an and King Yanchi conferring their heads, and Western Chu surrendered.
This rebellion swept almost all the territory south of Liyang, with a combined force of nearly 800,000, involving all the vassal kings in Liyang except the King of Jiaodong and the King of Beiliang.
It is worth mentioning that this rebellion not only did not weaken Liyang's strength, but actually became stronger. All 300,000 surrendered troops were recruited. Liyang's control over the world reached an unprecedented level.
Since the war was short and was a battle between armies, it did not have much impact on the people of Liyang.
The war was over before some people could even react.
After plundering the wealth of the two major vassals and their vassal clans, Liyang's treasury became unprecedentedly wealthy. Zhao Kai waved his hand without hesitation, first exempting Southern Xinjiang and Qingzhou from taxes for two years.
, and then generously rewarded the three armies, making Zhang Julu, the prime minister and assistant, call him a loser.
After that, officials were dispatched from various places to govern the two places and kill all possible rebels.
Although there are still many remaining forces such as the master of Chunxue Tower, the Guanyin Sect in Dragon Palace and other martial arts masters hiding in the dark, the world is so big that there is not much room for them anymore, and it is only a matter of time before they are wiped out.
Everything was settled, and it was time to return to the palace. After all, there were still a lot of things waiting for him at home. The Liangmang war was in full swing, so he couldn't just sit back and watch. But before returning, Zhao Kai had one more place to go.
Want to go.
That is Longhu Mountain across the river from Huishan.
The contemporary headmaster of Longhu Mountain and the Celestial Master chose to attack Zhao Kai and intercept and kill him on the battlefield. In addition, coupled with the previous actions of the ascended ancestors of Longhu Mountain, such a crime, according to the law, would punish the nine tribes.
It's considered light.
As an emperor, if you don't deal with this matter, it will only make people think you are weak and can be bullied. Therefore, Zhao Kai did not hesitate to mobilize 50,000 elite troops and directly surrounded the entire Longhu Mountain, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
As the first sect in Liyang, Longhu Mountain is closely linked to the fate of the Zhao family. The sect is very prosperous and has thousands of disciples. Usually, Longhu Mountain has several land immortal masters who are difficult to hide in the rivers and lakes.
Moreover, almost every hundred years, there are masters who ascend to heaven, countless first- and second-grade masters, and even the royal family backs them up, making them a truly super-first-class force.
But now, when this unparalleled super power in the world is facing an army of only 50,000 from Liyang to seal the mountain, thousands of masters within the sect dare not resist at all.
In front of the gate of Longhu Mountain, Zhao Kai was wearing a dragon robe, with the Lingxu Sword hanging from his waist, and he slowly stepped forward, followed closely by Xuanyuan Qingfeng, who was dressed in purple, and a group of martial arts masters.
This is the second time Zhao Kai has set foot on Longhu Mountain. The last time he came, he had just been crowned king, with only the sword attendant Wu Qing by his side. Now, when Zhao Kai climbs the mountain again, he is already an emperor on earth.
This time he came with a large army.
After entering the mountain gate, Zhao Kai saw that the wide demon-slaying platform was densely packed with thousands of Taoist priests. The leaders were Zhao Danping and Zhao Xituan who were wearing purple Taoist robes, as well as those who were seriously injured and whose cultivation was abolished.
Zhao Xiyi.
Later, there were many masters who became famous, such as the Little Heavenly Master Zhao Ningshen, Qi Xianxia and so on.
Seeing Zhao Kai's arrival, all but a few of the thousands of Taoist priests knelt down to salute and shouted long live! As for those who refused to kneel down, they were obviously unconvinced by what Zhao Kai had done.
Zhao Kai turned around and looked at Xuanyuan Qingfeng. With just one look, the people from the Xuanyuan family took action without hesitation and killed these people without any room for bargaining.
Zhao Xituan said:
"Your Majesty, please spare these disciples. They have no knowledge of what the two Heavenly Masters of Longhu Mountain have done. We are willing to use our lives as a guarantee that the disciples of Longhu Mountain will never do any harm in the future.
Jiangshan, things that endanger the world!"
Although Zhao Xituan had ignored the Longhu Mountain issue all year round, he could not bear to let the Longhu Mountain orthodoxy be cut off.
Zhao Kai shook his head and said:
"Your guarantee is of no use. I have promised you before that I will not pursue the Qin Tianjian matter from Longhu Mountain, but you have also seen the result. I have given you a chance, but you don't know how rare it is. That's it.
, then don’t blame me for being cruel.”
After saying that, Zhao Kai swung his sword and slashed into the void! The sword energy surged, and the heaven and earth shook. As if some kind of rope was cut off, all the luck golden lotuses on the luck pond in the back mountain withered instantly!
puff!!
Zhao Huangchao on the back mountain suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and his breath was reduced by more than half in an instant. He said with lonely eyes:
"Longhu Mountain is no longer the Longhu Mountain of the Zhao family! How cruel!"
Zhao Kai's sword directly cut off the fate that had been closely connected between Liyang and Longhu Mountain for hundreds of years.
"From now on, Longhu Mountain has nothing to do with the royal family!"
Zhao Kai's tone was cold. Longhu Mountain obviously had its current status because of the royal family, but they chose to attack him. In this case, they would have to bear the consequences.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Kai announced a plan to deal with Longhu Mountain, and Zhao Xiyi was willing to die, removing Zhao Danping from all his duties in Tai'an City.
Let him and Zhao Xituan lead their respective disciples to leave, and they can establish their own sects, but they are not allowed to name them after Longhu Mountain. The remaining disciples have abolished their martial arts and will never go to Longhu Mountain again. They have no choice but to call themselves monks of Longhu Mountain. All the precious classics on Longhu Mountain, their merits
Most of the secret books will be brought back to Liyang for storage.
As soon as this imperial edict came out, it was equivalent to removing Longhu Mountain from Liyang. All the Taoist priests cried bitterly, and nearly a hundred Taoist priests couldn't bear the blow and chose to commit suicide.
If Zhao Xituan hadn't hesitated to become his senior brother's enemy and help him in front of the battle, Zhao Kai would have blown up Longhu Mountain long ago. It can be said that such a result is already quite merciful.
