Section 337

Then she touched the jade pendant that represented Zhou Tianxing Douzong that she had been wearing around her waist.

In fact, not long before Huang Shang came to the Sui Dynasty to ask for help, Zhou Tianxing Douzong told Xiao Meiniang the news that Huang Shang might ask for help from the Sui Dynasty.

And asked Xiao Meiniang to find a reason to refuse Huang Shang and not to arouse Yuwen Tuo's suspicion.

This order was personally issued by Emperor Ziwei, the leader of Zhoutian Xingdou Sect, that is, Ying Ziyu personally issued it.

Ying Ziyu had already guessed what was going to happen and made corresponding arrangements.

According to Ying Ziyu's plan, Huang Shang will definitely go to the Tang Dynasty after leaving the Sui Dynasty.

The reason why he asked Xiao Meiniang to refuse Huang Shang's solicitation was because he wanted to use this opportunity to completely involve Datang in this storm! .

Chapter 253: I also think the catastrophe in Kyushu is related to this huge force.

As Ying Ziyu expected, Huang Shang went directly to the Tang Dynasty, which was adjacent to the Sui Dynasty.

Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, Daming Palace.

Li Shimin and Yuan Tiangang are discussing things.

In the period since the birth of Tianbang, the chaos among the major forces in Kyushu has been more than the major events that happened in the past hundred years before the emergence of Tianbang combined.

Judging from Li Shimin's long political sense, he had already guessed that behind the fog of chaos, there must be a pair of black hands driving all of this.

Now is the most chaotic time in Kyushu, but it is also the time when Datang is most likely to compete for the best in the entire Central Plains.

Opportunities and dangers coexist.

"Master Yuan, all kinds of chaos in Kyushu are very frequent now."

"Not only have the Jianghu forces in various countries been in a bloody mess, but there have also been huge frictions and casualties between the major dynasties."

"Especially the three countries of Han Dynasty, Northern Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty."

"Among them, the Ming Dynasty is okay, but there are already two dragons fighting. I believe that there will be a big chaos in the Ming Dynasty soon."

"The Han Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty have reached the point where they are about to be destroyed."

"I always have a bad feeling that Datang may soon be pulled into this whirlpool rolling up in Kyushu."

Li Shimin gently pinched his eyebrows and continued:

"I always feel that although the current chaos in Kyushu will happen sooner or later, it will definitely not happen as quickly as it does now."

"It's very possible that behind this fog, there is a very huge force driving all of this."

"I also think that the catastrophe in Kyushu is related to this huge force."

"Although the Tang Dynasty is very powerful now, I feel that the current national power of the Tang Dynasty is not enough for the Tang Dynasty to successfully survive the catastrophe in the future."

"The best way I can think of now is to use all means to increase the national destiny of Datang."

"I wonder if Master Yuan has any way to increase the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty in a short period of time?"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Yuan Tiangang frowned slightly.

Yuan Tiangang is also a very smart person. He can understand what Li Shimin is worried about, but if there is no treasure that can be rewarded by heaven, Yuan Tiangang cannot think of a way to increase the fortune of the Tang Dynasty in a short period of time.

It wasn't until he felt Huang Shang's aura that he finally gave Yuan Tiangang a solution to the fate of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I think we can take advantage of the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty and take the initiative!"

"Now the national power of the Tang Dynasty is very strong. Whether it is the Northern Song Dynasty or the Jin, Daliao, Xixia, Fangla, Liangshan and Southern Song Dynasty that attacked the Northern Song Dynasty, our national power of the Tang Dynasty far exceeds theirs."

"In my perception, Huang Shang is rushing towards the palace. I think Huang Shang must want to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to help the Northern Song Dynasty overcome this difficulty."

"We in the Tang Dynasty can actually make good use of this opportunity, directly send troops and horses, and actively get involved in this whirlpool."

"The final catastrophe has not yet come. If I take the initiative to enter the whirlpool, Datang has the power to protect myself."

"We can take advantage of now and directly occupy the power and national destiny of the Jin, Daliao, Xixia, Fangla, Liangshan and Southern Song Dynasties on the pretext of helping the Northern Song Dynasty."

"Then I'll put forward certain conditions with the Northern Song Dynasty!"

"After this incident, our country's fortune will definitely increase a lot."

"And we can use this opportunity to form an alliance with the Northern Song Dynasty. When the catastrophe of Kyushu really comes, we can let the Northern Song Dynasty be my scapegoat for the Tang Dynasty!"

"At that time, it can also increase the probability of our Datang successfully surviving the disaster."

Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Li Shimin's eyes burst into light.

…

Huang Shang came all the way to the Tang Dynasty and felt the culture and strong national power of the Tang Dynasty, which made her even more shocked.

Originally, after Huang Shang saw the national power of the Sui Dynasty and the prosperity of the people, he felt that the Tang Dynasty would definitely not be as powerful as the Sui Dynasty.

After all, the Sui Dynasty possesses two magical weapons that are worthy of being on the list of divine weapons and receiving rewards from heaven.

Naturally, the Sui Dynasty will be favored by heaven.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were no people or weapons who could be on the Heavenly List. Without Heaven's blessing, Huang Shang naturally believed that the Tang Dynasty must be inferior to the Sui Dynasty.

But after seeing the Tang Dynasty's national power, customs, culture, and prosperity, Huang Shang's understanding was completely refreshed.

The scene of the great Tang Dynasty coming to court completely shocked Huang Shang.

After arriving at the Tang Dynasty, Huang Shang did not expect that after Huang Shang told the Northern Song Dynasty what it could give, Li Shimin agreed to send troops to rescue the Northern Song Dynasty very smoothly.

The request for help was too smooth, which made Huang Shang have some unbelievable thoughts in his heart.

"If the king has other requests, you can put them forward together."

"々｀ Now the Northern Song Dynasty has reached the critical point of life and death. If the Tang Dynasty can rescue the Northern Song Dynasty."

"Then the Northern Song Dynasty will never forget the kindness of the Tang Dynasty from generation to generation."

Huang Shang bowed to Li Shimin gently and said.

Seeing Li Shimin's demeanor and the way he handled things at this time, Huang Shang felt a little envious.

If their Northern Song Dynasty's Song Huizong Zhao Ji could also be as kind as Li Shimin and become a wise ruler, how great it would be.

If Zhao Ji could be like Li Shimin, the Northern Song Dynasty would never have ended up like this, and Huang Shang would never have been so tired so early, causing him to want to retire to the mountains after helping the Northern Song Dynasty survive this disaster.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji completely disappointed Huang Shang.

Li Shimin smiled very kindly after hearing what Huang Shang said.

"Mr. Huang, you don't have to be so polite, as long as the Tang Dynasty still has me, Li Shimin, as the emperor."

"Mr. Huang will always be a distinguished guest of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin said to Huang (Zhao Nuo Zhao) Shang while smiling.

"But since Mr. Huang asked me to continue, I don't want to waste Mr. Huang's time."

"Then I'll say it directly. Our Tang Dynasty can send troops to reinforce the Northern Song Dynasty and help it overcome difficulties!"

"And our Tang Dynasty does not need to ask the Northern Song Dynasty to pay tribute every year after helping it quell the rebellion!"

When Li Shimin said this, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and then he continued:

"But after the war, I want the land that the Northern Song Dynasty ceded to the Tang Dynasty, as well as the corresponding national destiny!"

"And, after our Tang Dynasty sent troops this time and captured the territories of Fang La, Liangshan, Liao, Jin and Xixia, I want the territories and all national destiny of these countries or forces!"

"As long as Mr. Huang agrees, I can let Master Yuan lead the troops and accompany you to wipe out the enemy forces of the Northern Song Dynasty."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang appeared beside Li Shimin and nodded very solemnly.

Chapter 254 The only way left for the Northern Song Dynasty was to destroy the country.

After hearing what Li Shimin said, Huang Shang was slightly stunned, and then he was stunned.

Huang Shang did not expect that Li Shimin's appetite was so big.

Huang Shang could understand Li Shimin's words. If Li Shimin was allowed to send troops, it would be natural for Li Shimin's army to obtain the land and national fortune of these countries after conquering the land of the Liao Dynasty, the Western Xia Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty.

But after Li Shimin's cavalry conquered Fang La and Liangshan, if they also wanted the fortune and land owned by Fang La and Liangshan, Huang Shang would have to think about it carefully.

After all, the Liao Dynasty, the Western Xia Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty were all enemies of the Northern Song Dynasty from outside.

And Fang La and Liangshan were enemies within the Northern Song Dynasty, and they were internal affairs of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The power and land that Fang La and Liangshan now have are also within the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty. If Li Shimin said so, then the Tang army will also take away their land after conquering Liangshan and Fang La. In fact, this is cutting the meat of the Northern Song Dynasty!

Moreover, Fang La and Liangshan have now jointly conquered nearly half of the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty.

If the Tang Dynasty swallows up the land and national destiny of this half of the territory, and then asks the Northern Song Dynasty to cede a certain amount of land, then the Northern Song Dynasty, which was originally not powerful, will be reduced to half of its original power after this battle!

This is somewhat unacceptable to Huang Shang.

But if Huang Shang refuses Li Shimin's request now, then there will really be no power to help the Northern Song Dynasty, which is now on the decline.

The only way left for the Northern Song Dynasty is to destroy the country.

After thinking for nearly a quarter of an hour, Huang Shang sighed helplessly, and then looked at Li Shimin with a very complicated look.

In the end, Huang Shang decided to compromise with Li Shimin's request.

After all, if Li Shimin's request was agreed, although the Northern Song Dynasty's power would be reduced, it would not be destroyed in the end.
