Seeing Zhu Wen going far away, Li Ye frowned slightly. Immediately, he felt that a master in the Spiritual Master Realm appeared.
He looked far away and didn't intend to go out to chase after him. He didn't know how many cultivators there were in the Spiritual Master Realm of Zhongnan Mountain. If the two people joined forces, he couldn't fight against them.
But since he had occupied Dengzhou, Li Ye didn't feel like raising new issues. Zhu Wen had the great luck to become an emperor, so Li Ye couldn't easily kill him as he wanted. At present, he shouldn't only focus on Zhu Wen.
In the afternoon that day, the battle was declared to be over.
Before sunset, the city gradually became quiet and order was restored. Even though some of Zhu Wen's troops were still resisting desperately, they couldn't make any trouble facing the official troops.
Zhu Wen had fifty thousand soldiers, but over ten thousand of them were dead.
Looking back, Zhu Wen saw Prime Minister Shang Rang, so he hurriedly saluted to him. After Huang Chao established the Qi Empire, he appointed four Prime Ministers. Shang Rang was undoubtedly the head of them and was deeply trusted by Huang Chao. Otherwise, it was impossible for Huang Chao to let him lead the troops to attack Zheng Tian in Fengxiang several times. That was because Shang Rang was Shang Junchang's junior brother. Shang Junchang was Wang Xianzhi's general. After Wang Xianzhi was persuaded to surrender by Yang Fuguang, he was dispatched by Wang Xianzhi to negotiate with the official troops. But in the end, he was killed. Shang Junchang died unjustly, so Shang Rang hated the Tang Empire very much. He was one of those who were the least likely to surrender to the Tang Empire and he was good at leading troops to fight on the battlefield, so Huang Chao valued him. Facing such a figure, Zhu Wen had no reason not to be respectful. It w
The messenger-guard obeyed the order. He then turned and flew off to immediately to convey the order quickly. Moments later, the attacking side suddenly sped up their pace. A bunch of high level-cultivation warriors headed the attack. The Xi Chuan Sect's military formation that was blocking them had quickly been broken. Seeing this scene, Tian Lingzi finally showed a smile and said, "Now that is what I'm talking about." Prime Minister Chen Jingxuan was standing beside Tian Lingzi. He silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he saw Tian Lingzi's eyes. He was full of fear. After Tian Lingzi's protected Li Yan to Chengdu, he had made quite a few thunderous maneuvers. He wanted to quickly gain control of Xi Chuan and cease both political and military power. With his first maneuver, Tian Lingzi got cozy with the head of the Xi Chuan civil officer, Chen Jingxuan. After gaining his trust, he petitioned for Li Y
It seemed that Huiming did not notice Li Keyong's agitation. He replied calmly, "Because Wang Duo has gained control of military power and has already left Sichuan." "Wang Duo?" Li Keyong was taken aback by his words, "He's just a civil officer, not indifferent to Zheng Tian. So even with military control, how could he make a difference in the situation?" "He certainly could," answered Huiming. His answer was unusually short. Li Keyong asked in a deep voice, "And how so?" Huiming replied, "Because Wang Duo is a loyal officer." Li Keyong continued to ask, "And loyal officers could win wars? How?" Huiming answered, "Loyal officers might not win wars per se, but they could give the talented patriotic men a chance to make a name for themselves on the battlefield." Li Keyong tightened his eyebrows for a second and soon realized what Huiming had meant. "So you're saying Wang Duo could give me
- Staring at the woman, Zhu Wen hurriedly asked, "Are you the daughter of the former Songzhou Inspector General?" Raising her head, the woman barely glanced at Zhu Wen and said yes to him. Zhu Wen was overjoyed. He quickly supported her to sit down and waved everyone off. The generals didn't figure it out, but they didn't ask anything as they saw Zhu Wen's expression, so they left with suspicion. They also took away the rest of the women as they left. The woman did not dare to sit down, trembling with fear like a frightened little elk. With her face full of tears, she looked at Zhu Wen in fear. Seeing the look on her face, Zhu Wen hurriedly explained, "Don't be afraid. You and I are the fellow-townsmen. The sudden disaster of the war must have frightened you a great deal, but you don't need to worry about it anymore, as you've come to my place. I'm here, so no one can hurt you!" While saying that, Zhu Wen immediat
"That guy Li Ye and I have a grudge. This time, he and I join forces to attack Tongguan. Will he cause me trouble because of the grudge?" Li Keyong asked Monk Huiming nearby. He was riding on the horse with hundreds of his trusted soldiers. Looking at the Pinglu Army's barracks far away, he looked worried. Monk Huiming said without expression, "Prince An has ever beaten you in Huangli County, so can you forget this grudge?" When he recalled the past, Li Keyong was angry. As Monk Huiming spoke out the matter directly, he was so embarrassed that he wished he could dig a hole and hide in it. However, this was what Huiming's character was, so it was impossible for him to beat around the bush. He described it euphemistically as a "monk should not lie". But, in Li Keyong's view, it had nothing to do with telling a truth or a lie. Obviously, it was because he had no scruples. However, Huiming had saved his life before, so Li Keyong was thankful to
Li Ye and Li Keyong joined forces to attack Huang Chao. Naturally, this was a joint action. But who would get these three achievements or who would get the bigger share, Li Ye and Li Keyong had to contend with each other one by one. However, after Li Ye started the topic, Li Keyong didn't rush to request the first strike mission. Just now, Huiming spoke with Li Keyong outside the army barracks. At that time, Huiming said, "If Prince An's troops request to be the vanguards to attack the city, don't compete with them. More than that, you have to be modest." Li Keyong was puzzled. "Isn't that giving achievements away?" Huiming said, "Firstly, it's easier to defend than to attack Tongguan, so the battle certainly will bring heavy casualties. Secondly, there are two masters in the Spiritual Master Realm in Tongguan, so the one who goes first will have trouble. Prince An has to take action first. If he doesn't appear in the battle, t
Yang Fuguang said this for Li Ye's sake. He was worried that Li Ye would become angry, due to embarrassment, as he had not able to conquer Tongguan, for such a long time, and that he would ask the Pinglu Army to keep attacking it, out of desperation. He was afraid that the soldiers would be dissatisfied in the end. And when casualties reached a certain point, they needed to rest, in order to recover. By that time, the Yanmen Army would certainly take advantage of the situation. Li Ye smiled. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Yang Fuguang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked, "Then tomorrow?" Li Ye said, "Let the Pinglu Army attack the city." Yang Fuguang was stunned for a moment. Was what he said earlier, just a waste of breath? Li Ye saw Yang Fuguang looking a bit muddled. He wanted to persuade him not to be so reckless, but he was afraid that the other side would suspect him of being partial to Li
Li Keyong knew that his army could not compare to an army of such standards. In fact, there was no Vassal State Army in the world that could approach its greatness. Perhaps the former elite Regal Guards were of his sort of level. Was this still the Pinglu army of old? Of course not. Li Keyong clearly understood that this Pinglu army before him, whether measured by courage or fighting will, even the marching formations had far exceeded the previous Pinglu Army! The previous Pinglu Army was neat, but lacked courage. The current Pinglu army however, was made up of tigers and wolves! This was an army of tigers and wolves! Li Keyong was frightened and pale. He wondered where this army had come from. He looked at Huiming, and saw that Huiming looked as usual. But his eyes were low, obviously he was also frightened and angry! He had to be angry! This army, of course, did not emer
