Chapter 762: The Sovereign Castle (Part 2)

Jingling, in fact, is a city with a strategic location. The Duba Villa occupies it, and it is a powerful force with nearly 20,000 troops. Ren Shaoming of the Iron Cavalry Club wanted to occupy it before, but failed.

Fang Zetao, the owner of Duba Villa, is a man without much ambition. He was able to occupy Jingling thanks to his previous identity, a general of the Sui Dynasty, and his troops were the former Sui army.

Fang Zetao's original plan was to wait for the emergence of a wise leader, and then directly surrender to him. Apart from anything else, he would definitely be indispensable for wealth and glory. It must be said that this idea is very good, if he himself is not too lustful.

In the original book, a 婠婠 made Fang Zetao, who was originally very loyal, almost killed his brothers, and finally died in the hands of 婠婠, as if he had not completely awakened.

This time, Yin Kui sent out Bai Qing'er, and Fang Zetao was even more unlucky. In terms of appearance, figure and other conditions, Bai Qing'er was not inferior to Xianxian at all. In addition, the Ca Nu Heart Method she had cultivated made her every move, every word and every smile seem charming and boundless. It can be said that Fang Zetao's death this time was more unjust than in the original novel.

In the original novel, at least Fang Zetao knew Xianxian's true face in the end. This time, he did not find the problem of Bai Qing'er from beginning to end. Similarly, many of his generals were jealous of Bai Qing'er. Then, before Du Fuwei attacked, all the backbone figures who dominated the villa were killed by Fang Zetao and his men. Only Xu Xingzhi had expected it and ran away early.

Appearance reaches the level of Xianxian and Bai Qing'er. It is difficult to judge who is the most beautiful simply by appearance. At this time, it is natural to look at temperament. In this regard, Xianxian's unique spirit and weirdness, coupled with the enchanting charm of the Yinkui Sect, these two together form a unique temperament that belongs only to Xianxian.

This temperament is completely incomparable to Bai Qing'er. Perhaps it is because of the Cainu Heart Method, or Bai Qing'er herself. Bai Qing'er's temperament has a trace of worldly air. For ordinary people, it is difficult to detect this. Even Li Yuan, who is strong, may not be able to detect it.

But for those who have a high level of spiritual perception and spiritual cultivation, they can completely detect it. For example, Xu Ziling has never had a good face to Bai Qing'er. Looking at his attitude towards Xianxian, you can understand the difference.

"Meet His Royal Highness the King of Tang."

In a very ordinary single-family courtyard on the west street of Luoyang City, Xu Xingzhi was originally reading the first edition of the Tang Daily at the stone table in the courtyard. When he saw Bai Qing'er push open the door and walk in, his face immediately changed. Just when he was about to escape, he saw Shen Fei who came in right after him, and his expression immediately returned to calm.

"Mr. Xu, this is a quiet place in a bustling city, so enjoyable." Shen Fei said and walked straight to the stone table on the side and sat down. This is a small courtyard similar to a quadrangle.

Xu Xingzhi is a young man who looks about 30 years old, but because of his martial arts, it is very difficult to tell a person's age by appearance in this world.

Even if Xu Xingzhi is a counselor and military advisor, he also has a strong martial arts. Without a strong martial arts, it is very difficult to travel around in this chaotic world.

Just like Li Si, when he just left Xiaoshengxianzhuang, he also had a strong martial arts. Even though Xunzi said that the Confucianism in Xiaoshengxianzhuang was divided into the literary school and the martial school, he was a martial school without martial arts, but those who really believed him were fools.

"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. I hope you can help me unify the world." Looking at the Tang Daily on the table, Shen Fei directly stated his purpose.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm curious how you know me?"

Shen Fei's straightforward recruitment made Xu Xingzhi stunned for a moment. He had never met such a straightforward person, and the target was still a little-known person like him.

Xu Xingzhi was a great talent, but unfortunately, it was not enough to have talent in this era. There were too many cases of talent not being recognized. He was a ready-made example. He had been running around for so many years and was not reused at all.

Finally, he was discouraged and turned to Fang Zetao. At that time, Fang Zetao was not the owner of the villa. After all, there was no chaos in the world at that time.

In the original novel, Kou Zhong recommended him to Wang Shichong, but Wang Shichong still didn't take him seriously until he joined Kou Zhong's army. His talent was fully utilized.

"Of course it was found out through investigation. As far as I know, Fang Zetao's Duba Villa was able to successfully occupy Jingling, and it was basically your contribution. If it weren't for the irresistible factors, Du Fuwei would probably not be able to take down Jingling."

Jingling's Duba Villa and Pegasus Ranch have always been in the same boat and helped each other, but due to the appearance of Bai Qing'er, Fang Zetao became extremely stupid, and the relationship between the two sides was severed.

For Pegasus Ranch, although it was a bit troublesome without the help of Duba Villa, the gains and losses offset each other because the four major bandits were eliminated. After that, even if Du Fuwei wanted to take over Pegasus Ranch, it would not be so easy.

Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army originally wanted to besiege Jingling, lure reinforcements from Pegasus Ranch, and then surround and attack the reinforcements. Unfortunately, Shang Xiuxun had no intention of monopolizing the villa by caring about Jingling.

Shen Fei's words made Xu Xing couldn't help but look at Bai Qing'er who had been standing quietly behind Shen Fei. Jingling's great situation was ruined because of Bai Qing'er.

However, Xu Xingzhi has no intention of pursuing the case. When these heroes compete for hegemony, they all have their own masters. Even if the two sides are fighting against each other one moment, it is very normal for them to become companions in the same camp the next moment.

"Now that you've read this, I believe you probably understand what I want to do. I'm very short of people now. I'm thinking about whether to issue a recruitment order." Shen Fei pointed to the big table on the stone table. Tang Daily continued.

"Then your Highness should also know that the current situation is very unfavorable to you. I admire you very much for what your Highness wants to do, but frankly speaking, your Highness is too impatient."

Things that could obviously be planned out slowly turned out to be straightforward and fair. It can be said that except for people from the Shen Fei camp, basically no one from other forces is optimistic about him.

"I am indeed a little impatient, I admit that." After becoming the king of Tang and doing things, Shen Fei discovered why Ying Zheng and Yang Guang were so impatient. He actually made a mistake in this regard.

"But I have the ability to correct mistakes. Even if I become the enemy of the entire Buddhist sect and all the aristocratic families in the world, I can be sure that I will be the winner in the end." The only difference between him and Ying Zheng and Yang Guang is that he has the absolute ability to correct chaos. strength.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Xu Xingzhi immediately asked curiously.

"It's very simple. I have unrivaled martial arts. Even if Ning Daoqi, Bi Xuan, and Fu Cailin join forces, I can kill them with just one move." After saying this, Shen Fei showed a proud smile on his face, and then continued. : "In addition, I am building an invincible army. Once the army is successfully formed, the Turkic cavalry will be nothing more than scabies and vulnerable to a single blow."

"Besides, I can also control the wind and rain."

While Shen Fei was speaking, he made a seal with his right hand. A moment later, a light rain began to fall in the originally clear sky.

"And sowing the beans can lead to an army."

The moment he finished speaking, Shen Fei's left hand immediately drew talismans in the void. As each talisman took shape, ten headless walkers holding axes and shields appeared in the courtyard.

"No one in this world can stop me."

The drizzle of rain immediately stopped, and the ten headless walkers turned into light and disappeared without a trace.

"Xu Xingzhi has met His Highness Prince Tang."

Xu Xingzhi, who had been stunned for a long time, immediately saluted Shen Fei solemnly after coming back to his senses. At this time, Bai Qing'er, who was behind Shen Fei, also looked at him respectfully. Regarding the ability that Shen Fei showed just now, There is no doubt that he is already an immortal.

"Welcome."

After Xu Xingzhi agreed to join, Shen Fei took him away immediately, and then gave him a lot of work, all of which were internal affairs work, such as rescuing poor people through labor and fleeing the war. Homeless people who came to Luoyang

In addition, there is the statistics of land, population, etc. around Luoyang, which are very tedious and require time to process slowly.

In this era, there were originally more people and less land. With the three conquests of Goguryeo and the subsequent civil strife in the Central Plains, a large number of people were lost.

"First come the two hundred Wei soldiers, and the white-armored soldiers of the Bloody Marquis.

After leaving the relevant matters to Xu Xingzhi, Shen Fei took out the self-cultivation furnace and started to create related masters. With the supplement of the real person pill, he could create a batch of super soldiers.

"That makes no sense."

In the back garden of the Chang'an Palace, Li Yuan, who was watching the maids performing songs and dances in the pavilion in front of him, immediately smashed the stone table in front of him with an angry look on his face after seeing the intelligence from Luoyang.

Li Tang, this was the name Li Clan had prepared for a long time, and now it was snatched away. How could this not make Li Yuan angry? Looking at the angry Li Yuan, the maids on the side immediately stopped singing and dancing, and were so quiet that they did not dare to express their anger. Stay aside.

Although Li Yuan still holds the self-proclaimed title of general, he behaves like an emperor and lives directly in the palace.

"Brother, what should we do now? Do we need to advance?" Li Yuan's younger brother Li Shentong spoke. Shen Fei suddenly regarded himself as the King of Tang Dynasty. It can be said that it disrupted many people's plans at once. After receiving the relevant news , all the rebels from some forces began to call themselves kings.

Yu Wenhua and others are planning to become emperor.

Under this situation, Li Clan can only be forced to follow up. After all, others have already declared themselves kings and emperors. If you don't do this yet, in the eyes of some people, it may mean that you are not ambitious enough and let those People who originally wanted to take refuge no longer wanted to take refuge.

For the vast majority of people in the world, they only see the surface and cannot see the deeper meaning.

"Let Jiancheng come over, and by the way, let Shimin come over too." After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuan immediately spoke to his younger brother. After Li Shentong had just left a few steps, he asked him to add Li Shimin.

"Father, this person is the Li family's great enemy and must be eliminated as soon as possible." In the imperial study room, after listening to Li Yuan's latest intelligence, Li Shimin spoke immediately and directly advised Li Yuan to send troops to attack Luoyang.

In feudal society, why so many emperors, including Wu Zhao, often went from Chang'an to Luoyang was because the distance between the two was not that far, only a few hundred kilometers. Even if the mountain roads and canyons were difficult to travel, if you passed the waterway, It only took a few days, thanks to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal dug by Yang Guang.

"Hmph, is it the enemy of the Li clan or the enemy of Buddhism." Li Jiancheng sneered at the side.

"That's right. Didn't the Jing Nian Zen Sect say that after finding the He's Bi, they would elect the emperor in Luoyang? Isn't this just about reaping the benefits of being a fisherman?" Li Yuanji, who was sitting next to Li Jiancheng, interjected immediately.

The Luoyang emperor election plan is an activity that Cihang Jingzhai started building momentum very early. After all, they started building momentum when Shuanglong was still a gangster. Naturally, it is impossible to cancel this plan that greatly increases the influence of Buddhism so easily, even in the heart The same goes for the prestige of Buddhism which was greatly reduced due to Shen Fei's actions.

The influence of the handed down jade seals and jade in the hearts of the people of the Central Plains is so great that even Sun Jian died because of it during the Three Kingdoms period.

For Cihang Jingzhai and Jing Nian Zen Sect, the reputation of Buddhism may be restored with the help of He's Bi. In fact, after Yang Guang's death, the efforts of Buddhism during this period have greatly alleviated their situation. , after all, no one is targeting them now.

As long as the Heshi Bi is not given to Li Shimin by then, Cihang Jingzhai will have all the means and methods to turn Yang Guang's words into right and wrong.

Since Luoyang is Shen Fei's territory now, he can be sure that he will definitely confront Cihang Jingzhai and those people who are in Luoyang to choose the emperor with his clan. No matter who wins or loses, it will be good news for the Li clan.

"Father, according to the information I received, Song Que of the Song Clan has left the mountain city and headed for Luoyang. Once he gets the support of the Song Clan, it will be too late." Li Shimin gave Li Yuanji a hard look. , spoke again.

"You are really well-informed. We haven't received any information here. It couldn't have been passed on to you by Buddhism. But isn't it just right? Song Que can't have a better result for Ning Daoqi than this." Li Yuanji was unwilling to give up. He stared at Li Shimin weakly.

"you."

"enough."

Li Shimin glared at Li Yuanji, and was about to say something, but Li Yuan severely scolded the two of them, and at the same time looked deeply at Li Shimin, as if Song Que had left the Song family mountain city, this was information that he had not received.

Li Shimin gave a helpless smile and told Song Que's information. Li Shimin naturally knew what the result would be, but he had to tell it, otherwise it would not attract Li Yuan's attention. As Li Yuanji said, this information does speak to Buddhism. .

"Jian Jiancheng, what do you think?" Li Yuan immediately asked Li Jiancheng after scolding Li Shimin and Li Yuanji.

"What the second brother and the third brother said are reasonable, but at this stage, even if we want to do something to Luoyang, it is impossible to do it. And since the second brother said that the other party is the Li family's archenemy, then we don't have the first Time is rushing forward, why not just sit back and watch him compete with Buddhism."

After Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Shimin, he slowly said his suggestion. Li Jiancheng was not a fool. He also had many talents under his command. He naturally knew what to do and what to say in front of Li Yuan. That is, he was a brother, friend and brother. Anyway, he There is a Li Yuanji here who can challenge Li Shimin.

"As for Luoyang and Shibi's party, who do you think should be sent?" Li Yuan continued to ask.
