The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 670: Deterrence

Views:

When he saw the almost boundless black city wall of Chang'an in front of the Baqiao, Hunan Jiedu envoy Ma Yin didn't feel any disturbance in his heart.

The city is a majestic city, which can arouse the awe of ordinary people, but for Ma Yin, who has conquered thousands of miles in Hunan in recent years and is determined to ask the imperial court to be the king of Chu, this city in front of him has been captured several times by the Anshi rebellion army and the Huangchao rebellion army. The city that was captured without much hindrance was really nothing to look up to.

Some time ago, he received an order from the court asking him to enter the pilgrimage to meet the emperor, and Ma Yin agreed without thinking too much. He also wanted to see what King An, who swept Hebei and pacified the Central Plains, looked like, and whether King Qi, who swept Huainan, had the same heart with him.

If there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, Ma Yin doesn't mind adding fire, so he can look forward to it in the future. As the current absolute ruler of Chu land, he has this strength, and a dozen real people under his command are enough to establish a sect.

If there is no chance, as long as the court crowns him king, he doesn't mind serving the court temporarily and watching the changes.

It is said that Wang Jian in the middle of Shu was determined by the bastard and did not intend to obey the orders of the court. With this person who could be used, Ma Yin felt that he had a lot of room to change.

"Hey, isn't this Ma Lian envoy? Why is he standing by the bridge and not entering the city? Could it be that he is waiting to welcome the old man?"

A yin and yang voice sounded from the bridgehead, with a sense of joking, even sarcasm.

Ma Yin knew who it was without looking back, Liu Yin, the envoy of Lingnan Jiedu.

When he conquered the Chu land and expanded the territory, the opponent also basically occupied the entire territory of Lingnan. When the feudal towns around this town were captured, the soldiers of the various princes also met together. The east of Chu land is under the control of Gao Pian in Huainan, and Ma Yin can't deal with it for the time being. When he sent troops to the south, he ran into Liu Yin.

The two sides fought a few times at the end of the Xiangshui River, especially around Lingqu and Guizhou, which were the focus of contention between the two sides. Ma Yin wanted to march into Lingnan to ensure the stability of the backyard, and Liu Yin wanted to go north, so he had to occupy the ancient Meiling Road.

As a result, the two sides have won and lost each other, and no one has been able to achieve an overwhelming record so far.

Seeing Liu Yin's chubby face and thinking of the other party's sinister and sinister demeanor, Ma Yin couldn't help feeling sick, "I thought Lingnan Mountain was high and the road was far away, and you, Liu, a businessman, are all focused on profit. I don't know why the court rules I didn't expect to come to Chang'an now, it's really unlucky to meet you!"

Liu Yin didn't mind Ma Yin's insinuation that he wanted to stand on his own in Lingnan, but the title "Liu Dafu" still made him angry.

His ancestors were merchants, and Ma Yin often ridiculed him for this.

The enemy's road is narrow, since they met in Baqiao, there is no possibility of dispute. The two of them were fighting with each other, and the monks brought by each of them were on the verge of breaking out, which inevitably blocked the bridge. Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, unexpectedly, some people began to shout at them in dissatisfaction.

The two of them turned their heads angrily at the same time, wanting to see which one was blind and dared to yell at them.

If it is an ordinary person, it is unavoidable to become the object of the two to vent their anger, and it is light to be beaten in vain.

Jingnan Jiedu envoy Gao Ji ruled Jingzhou.

"Before Wang Jian led his troops to fight in the Central Plains. When they passed through the territory of Jingnan Jiedushi, they asked the other party to supply food and fodder. Later, when they were defeated, this man thought he had an opportunity to mobilize his troops to encircle the remnants of the Shu army. He didn't want Wang Jian to break into the Chinese army. , beat him up. If this guy didn’t run so fast, I’m afraid he would lose his head. Now that we see our flags, it’s really unreasonable to dare to be so arrogant!”

Ma Yin looked at the other party and sneered, but he didn't rush forward to make a move.

Liu Yin said with a sneer: "I heard that someone coveted Jingzhou, and once gathered a large army to attack, but was beaten by the Jingzhou navy, and ran away without even seeing the city wall. .”

Hearing this, Ma Yin blushed. Of course he did it. With a cold snort, he turned his head and left.

If he continues to scold and fight with the other party, he is afraid that he will not be able to resist. After all, Chang'an is King An's territory. If there is a dispute, it will embarrass King An. Ma Yin has no plans to make things difficult for King An.

If possible, he hoped to get King An's support to suppress Liu Yin.

——This is the reason why Ma Yin convinced himself.

What he didn't want to admit was that ever since he got close to Chang'an City, he had faintly felt two powerful auras passing by him from time to time. That was a power that frightened him, and he was completely unsure of defeating it. Under the supervision of such a powerful force, Ma Yin did not dare to act presumptuously.

Consciously or unintentionally, he glanced at Liu Yin a few times, and realized that Liu Yin looked similar to him, so Ma Yin knew that the other party was also afraid. If not, the other party would not obediently quiet down.

"It should be King An and King Qi without a doubt." Ma Yin thought bitterly, "Unexpectedly, the cultivation base of the two has become so strong that Liu Yin and I have not even seen anyone, and the breath is locked. It seems that, Their domain is big enough to cover the whole city... ”

Reining in his mind, Ma Yin walked towards the corridor after meeting the officials who came out of the city gate to greet him.

Entering the city one after the other, although Ma Yin and Liu Yin did not walk together, the expressions on their faces were not different.

According to the two people's predictions, Chang'an had suffered many wars in recent years, so it must be very dilapidated and depressed. Once most of the city has no residents, prosperity is just something that can't be reached.

However, the Chang'an city in front of me is peaceful and peaceful. Not to mention pedestrians rubbing shoulders on the streets, but there are also people coming and going. Although merchants' carriages and horses are not like snakes and dragons, they can be seen everywhere.

Especially on the faces of the common people, there is no sign of dispiritedness at all, and they are full of energy and energy. Such a scene cannot be faked at all. It shows that Chang'an is returning to prosperity, which surprised Ma Yin and Liu Yinzai At the same time, I have a new understanding of Li Ye's ability to govern the local area.

Only when the place is prosperous, the imperial court will have more taxes to recruit troops, the army will be strong, and the monks will gather. Although Chang'an City in front of us is no longer at its peak, it still shows that it is indeed the capital of the world.

Ma Yin and Liu Yin did not go to Jinzuoyuan to stay. In fact, the Jinzuoyuan in Chang’an of each town has been abandoned for a long time. After all, no one wanted to follow the order of the court—the two were greeted by officials and led to the post. museum.

There was quite a lot of noise in the post house. When Ma Yin entered the courtyard, he saw many people walking around, many of them in official uniforms. Ma Yin thought in his heart that those should be Jiedu envoys from all over the country. After all, the world has not been in chaos for a long time, and Jiedushi in many places is still the lord of a town and has not been annexed.

After resting in the room for a while, Ma Yin planned to go shopping. He just arrived in Chang'an today, and he had to wait until the court meeting to meet His Majesty. Taking a look at the city and assessing Li Ye's strength is an important basis for Ma Yin to decide his future strategy.

Before leaving the post house, Ma Yin was attracted by a noise. Looking at the courtyard from the corridor, I saw two groups of people clashing. From their words, it could be heard that they were trying to fight for who the freshly prepared meal belonged to.

Ma Yin didn't intend to pay attention to this kind of thing at first, but he became interested only when he saw Gao Ji, the Jiedu envoy of Jingnan, in charge. Not long after, Zhao Xingyuan, the governor of Shannan West Road in Hanzhong, confronted Gao Jizheng, and Ma Yin became more and more interested.

"I heard that Wang Jian sent a large number of masters to assist Gao Ji in order to control the land that came out of the east. Although Jingzhou is now called Gao Ji in name, it has actually become Wang Jian's sphere of influence. Hehe, this guy is not stupid, he knows how to emulate Kong Ming Of the policy."

At some point, Liu Yin came to Ma Yin's side again, looking at the courtyard with great interest.

Ma Yin didn't speak yet, only to hear Liu Yin say again: "Emissary Ma Lian suffered a setback in Jingzhou last time, without Wang Jian's help, it is almost impossible."

Ma Yin's defeat in Jingzhou was actually not a big defeat, at most it was a small setback, not many soldiers were lost, but a few monks in the Realm Realm were killed, which made him very heartbroken. In Jingzhou's small land, there are so many masters appearing, Ma Yin has long felt that there is a problem.

It's just that Liu Yin pointed out these words now, but Ma Yin sneered in his heart.

This time the Jiedu envoys of the world made a pilgrimage to the emperor, but Wang Jian did not come, but he obviously would not give up the opportunity to find out the hearts of the people in the world.

Ma Yin said bluntly: "If Jingzhou really becomes Wang Jian's sphere of influence, his next step is to try to annex Hanzhong, the territory of Zhao Xingyuan, the governor of Shannan Dongdao. Right now, Gao Ji is in conflict with Zhao Xingyuan. Without Wang Jian behind the scenes, no ghost would believe it."

Liu Yin laughed and said, "Wang Jian is throwing stones to ask the way. He wants to see how we react to this matter. If we mean to muddy the water and take advantage of the opportunity, it means that we are still interested in competing in the world. This is exactly what he The situation I want to see. If not, how can he compete against King An and King Qi with his land in the middle of Sichuan?"

Liu Yin pointed out the words directly, but Ma Yin didn't know how to answer the words for a while.

He was silent for a moment, then sneered again: "I'm curious how King An and King Qi will think about this matter, this is Chang'an after all, if they don't respond..."

As soon as Liu Yin heard this, he understood what Ma Yin meant.

Whether they want to stir up trouble, whether they want to fight for the world, now depends on whether they have this opportunity. Once King An and King Qi have little control over the towns, they are already small princes, and naturally they will not be willing to give up the opportunity to build great achievements...

It's just that Ma Yin shut up suddenly when he was halfway through speaking.

Liu Yin didn't feel abrupt, let alone asked, but couldn't help holding his breath.

The two powerful auras that appeared in front of the city gate once again swept across their bodies like eyes.

The difference is that this time it feels clearer, as if the other party is very close.

Ma Yin and Liu Yin had a verbal argument in front of the city gate, which might attract the attention of King An and King Qi, not to mention that Gao Ji and Zhao Xingyuan were now clashing in the posthouse, and they were almost about to fight.

Soon, the coercion of the tyrannical aura came to the top.

Ma Yin and Liu Yin looked up at the same time.

The next moment, their jaws almost dropped to the ground in surprise.

It was not King An and King Qi that appeared in midair.

Not even King An, nor King Qi.

The masters of those two tyrannical breaths are just two women.

One in white clothes and purple hair, with an ethereal temperament, and one with heavy makeup, enchanting and charming.
