"I said before that the two small losses I suffered at the hands of Li Ye were entirely due to lack of preparation."
Yelu Abaoji sat recliningly on a low platform, with a glass full of blood-colored grape wine in his hand, and said to Qiewo Tai, the great envoy in the tent, "Since I was sensible, I have been learning Chinese characters and reciting classics and historical books of Tang Dynasty poetry and prose. Classics. My understanding of the culture of the Tang Dynasty is a hundred times better than those so-called Great Confucians of the Tang Dynasty."
Qie Wotai, who had gray beard and hair but no wrinkles on his face, noticed that when Yelu Abaoji said this, there was undisguised pride in his eyes.
Yelu Abaoji squinted his eyes and enjoyed a sip of the wine, and continued: "People in Tang always call us barbarians. They not only call the shepherds on the grassland barbarians, but also the tribal people in the poor mountains and rivers beyond the border. .Many people think this is an insult to us by Tang people, but in my opinion, it is the truth.
"In terms of culture and wisdom, the Tang people are much better than us. When I read the history books of the Han and Tang Dynasties, even if I am a prairie man, I would admire them very much. In comparison, the shepherds on the prairie, besides being able to get along with cattle and sheep, Nothing but learning from wolves. We don't even have our own writing!
"So, if I, Yelu Abaoji, want to become the greatest hero in history on the grassland, I have to change the ignorant state of the Khitan people! So I let people create the Khitan characters, and learned the system of the Tang Dynasty to establish a country. Ignorance People who want to become masters of this world have to learn to be smart.
"Ordinary people don't know how to be smart, but I, as their great king, must teach them how to be smart! The warriors on the grasslands are not lacking in bravery. In this regard, the people of Tang do not have much advantage. Soldiers have wisdom, we will be able to defeat the Tang people!
"My great envoy, I know what you want to say. It takes time for grassland people to become smart...well, or to become cunning and cunning. I know that. This is me, Yelu Abaoji, on the grassland The greatest king ever, should have done for my people.
"Before the grassland people become smart, I will use my wisdom to make up for their shortcomings and make the Tang people suffer! Great envoy, you should know how studious I am and how I like to think. Only God knows. The enthusiasm for these two things even exceeds that of being on the bed with Yue Liduo!"
The Great God Envoy felt a little strange.
Yelu Abaoji talked a lot today.
The other party seldom talks so eloquently. It's not that he can't, it's that he doesn't want to.
So at this moment, Yelu Abaoji should be very happy. When a person is happy, he naturally has a reason, especially as the king of the grassland, his great happiness must be because of great things happening in the grassland.
To be more precise, it was Yelu Abaoji who did great things for the plateau.
Qiewo Tai first raised his glass to express his praise to Yelu Abaoji, and then asked, "What did you do to benefit the grassland so much that it made you so happy?"
Yelu Abaoji looked at Qiewo Tai seriously, and said slowly: "Qiewo Tai, you are an envoy of God, and a great envoy of God, so even in front of me, the king of the grassland, you have never been in awe.
"You always proclaim that you are acting according to God's instructions. You always say that the world belongs to God, and the king of the grassland should also prostrate at God's feet. But let me tell you, God is not omnipotent, at least for now, She can't let me win the war against Datang!"
Qiewo Tai, as the leader of the divine religion, was naturally not happy with Yelu Abaoji's words.
He said in a deep voice: "God is omnipotent, you should not be disrespectful to God, you must know that it is God's will and God's help that you can have today's achievements. What kind of things did the gods and the army of gods do above the fairyland!"
Yelu Abaoji opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute.
Of course, he doesn't know about the things above the fairyland, and he can't know.
Whether in the Central Plains or on the grasslands, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven has existed since ancient times. The purpose of the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven is for the mortal kings to communicate with the gods and obtain their instructions and blessings.
In the ceremonies of worshiping heaven in the Central Plains, the object is relatively fixed, the sky. This word has a very general meaning. It doesn’t matter who is in the sky. Anyway, you are the sky, so you accept my prayer. Therefore, the emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty and the Dynasty all called themselves the Son of Heaven.
On the grasslands, the objects of the rites of offering sacrifices to heaven are more specific, such as Kunlun God, Wolf God and so on.
The gods worshiped by Khitan are neither Kunlun gods nor longevity gods, but gods.
This is similar to the Central Plains.
Yelu Abaoji, as the king of the grassland, has the qualifications to communicate with the gods of the gods, but from the beginning to the end, he didn't know what the gods looked like or what kind of supernatural powers they possessed. He used the power of the gods to dominate the grassland, accepted the will of the gods and planned to go south, but he had never even seen the gods of the gods.
This of course made Yelu Abaoji dissatisfied.
In fact, at the very beginning, Yelu Abaoji was not dissatisfied.
It is very reasonable that mortals cannot see God. No matter how confident Yelu Abaoji is, he doesn't have the extravagant hope of being king in the Immortal Realm. To be the lord of the mortal world is already the limit of his imagination.
Until, he heard that Li Ye seemed to have seen a Taoist god.
Even killed many Taoist gods.
This made waves in his heart.
It turns out that mortals can kill gods and have the ability to kill gods.
Since then, Yelu Abaoji no longer has pure reverence and worship for the gods.
He even heard rumors that Li Ye not only has status in the mortal world, but also in the fairyland!
He once gathered a team called "Monster Clan" and killed the Immortal Territory, intending to seize the territory of the Taoist Immortal Court!
Mortals can not only kill gods, but also destroy the gods. This scene has a huge impact on Yelu Abaoji.
Under such circumstances, Yelu Abaoji burst out with unsurpassed fighting spirit and wisdom.
Yelu Abaoji looked at Qiewo Tai, smiled inscrutablely, and said: "I once heard Li Ye say a word: Man can conquer the sky. I didn't agree with this sentence before, and felt that the power of mountains, rivers and grasslands is better than the power of people." Much stronger. I realized later that what he said was that the power of the mortal world can defeat the power of the fairyland.
"If before, going south to annex the Central Plains was only God's will, then now, this is my lifelong goal of Yelu Abaoji. When I occupy the Central Plains, I will be able to possess the ability of man to conquer the sky like Li Ye! So this time I will launch In the battle of 'World Attack on Tang', my plan is far beyond your imagination!"
Qiewo Tai was stunned, he didn't care about Yelu Abaoji's false claim that he could defeat God, because it was impossible to achieve, and he was concerned about another question: "What kind of plan do you have?"
Yelu Abaoji smiled mysteriously: "This is a competition of wisdom, and it is the use and utilization of all powers. Even if Li Ye is a giant, he will eventually die in the mouths of countless gluttons!"
What Yelu Abaoji didn't say clearly was that when Li Ye was defeated and he captured the Central Plains, he would also lead the army to defeat the gods in the Immortal Realm.
If it is said that a long time ago, Yelu Abaoji was only satisfied with being the king of the grassland, but with the help of the divine religion, he had the ambition to be the emperor of the world.
Then the road and back view of Li Ye walking in front made Yelu Abaoji realize that he can still be the Lord of Heaven and Earth!
...
This is the second time Wang Jian has come to Dousha Pass in Dousha County.
Here is a remote mountain, an endless wilderness, and a deep wilderness.
But here is also the pass from central Shu to Nanzhao, the most dangerous passage, and in a sense, even the most suitable passage.
In the year before last, Shun Huazhen, the most valiant general under the command of King Shunhuachen of Nanzhao, led Nanzhao's 500,000 troops from here, invaded the middle of Shu, plundered prefectures and counties, plundered the population, property and food, and brought the land to the middle of Shu. A great disaster has come.
But now, Wang Jian, with 300,000 soldiers from central Shu, is about to set off from here and go south to attack Nanzhao, a shame of the year before. As a Tang native, and a brave Tang native, and one of the few kings among the Tang natives, Wang Jian has his own undeniably unparalleled self-esteem and pride.
This kind of self-esteem and pride made Wang Jian unable to tolerate the shame of being offended by Nanzhao savages!
"Your Highness, according to the Tsingyi Yamen's report, the King of Nanzhao has summoned 600,000 troops to assemble on the southern line of Doushaguan! The forward army is approaching Wuchi Road, and it is expected to arrive within three days!" The envoy came to report to Wang Jian.
Wang Jian's face was gloomy, but there was a high-spirited fighting spirit in his eyes, and he ordered in a low voice: "Pioneer 30,000 paces, within three days, must pass the five-foot road, set up camp in the south of the road, and fight to the death for the army to pass the five-foot road! "
In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanent source replacement App as soon as possible, huanyuanapp.org
The military envoy's face was solemn, and he cupped his fists to accept the order: "The humble officer accepts the order!"
Wang Jian looked at the steaming Wuchidao with an iron face.
...
Khitan did not have envoys to cause chaos in Chu, but Li Ye stayed in Changsha for a long time. Just as he expected before, the fact that Ma Yin wanted to rebel has caused panic in Chu, making the people deeply uneasy.
Living and working in peace right now is hard to come by. Once a military disaster breaks out, no one knows whether they will live until tomorrow, and there is no guarantee that their children will survive the military disaster, so they are filled with sadness and fear—this is of course the effect of the Tsing Yi Yamen secretly exaggerating.
Therefore, after Li Ye killed Ma Yin and passed it on to Chu, the people were all grateful to the court and King An. As a result, Li Ye successfully harvested the luck of many people in Chu, and his cultivation improved a lot.
As for Lingnan, according to Li Ye's order, 200,000 soldiers have been assembled to attack Nanzhao from the side, echoing Wang Jian's offensive from the middle of Shu.
As the king of Guangzhou, Liu Yin did not take command of the expedition, but only supervised the transportation of grain and grass in Guangzhou.
The war in the south has broken out, and it is very powerful. It is different than ever before, and the momentum is huge and tight.
However, Li Ye didn't intend to stay longer in the south, and he handed over all the affairs to Wang Jian, and he quickly returned to Chang'an.
