525 Internal Disintegration

In the third year of Tongguang, Li Cunxu issued an edict in June to purchase war horses and sent troops to attack Shu in September.

Without Buddhist support, the troops were far weaker than those of the Tang army, and Shu Kingdom responded passively. The Tang army took several important cities in succession, but did not face too strong resistance.

In this way, the Tang army advanced straight and the war went very smoothly.

The war was not good, and Wang Yan was very anxious. Seeing that the troops were about to come to the city, he personally led an army of 50,000 to Lizhou and ordered 30,000 infantry and cavalry to fight against the Tang army in Sanquan.

But unfortunately, the Tang army had a general Li Cunxiao, and the Flying Tiger Army was unstoppable, and the Shu army could not resist at all. After a great battle, Wang Yan was defeated and fled back to Chengdu.

The Tang army became more powerful, and wherever they went, they were invincible. The officers and soldiers guarding the city either fled in sight or directly offered the city to surrender.

In November, the Tang army invaded Chengdu and Wang Yan surrendered.

At this point, Shu Kingdom had two rulers, which lasted for eighteen years and were destroyed.

This time, the Tang army attacked Shu in just over seventy days. Apart from the Battle of Sanquan, there was almost no decent resistance.

For a time, the Tang Dynasty became more powerful, and the various vassal states became more obedient. In addition, the capture of Shu Kingdom received a large amount of materials, greatly expanding the Tang Dynasty's military.

This time the attack on Shu not only caused no damage, but for the Tang Dynasty, it was like taking a big tonic pill.

Next, the army will return to the court, and after a while, we will prepare to attack Wu!

"You can't live without committing your own sins!"

On the eve of the demise of Shu Kingdom, Manjushri Bodhisattva took the Shu seal first. At this time, Wang Yan was taken to Luoyang, but Li Cunxu killed him directly on the road with a secret decree. Manjushri Bodhisattva stood in the air and saw clearly, and couldn't help but sneer.

Wang Jian established the Shu Kingdom, and his territory was originally vast and strong, but it was completely destroyed by the hands of the foolish king Wang Yan. It doesn’t matter if Wang Yan lost his country and died. It was wasting eighteen years of Buddhism’s efforts. Even the Bodhisattva was angry.

Since it has come to an end, I will not care about these things. Manjushri Bodhisattva has kept the Shu seal but did not leave. He continues to stay in Shu, looking for the next wise master.

“Too fast…”

The Wu Kingdom was preparing for war nervously. When they learned about the demise of Shu Kingdom, they couldn't help but frown. The demise of Shu Kingdom was too fast, which greatly shortened the preparation time of Wu Kingdom, which was really passive.

At this time, deep in the Wu Palace in Nanjing, there was a side hall.

"How is the situation?"

"Gaga, everything is right!"

Xu Xuan and Chou Nu met here. After receiving Chou Nu's answer, Xu Xuan's face was still serious and he couldn't let go of his heart. Although he had done what he should have done, no one could predict the specific result.

"The master's plan has never been done. Don't worry, senior brother, this matter will definitely be accomplished!"

Seeing Xu Xuan showing concern, the ugly slave smiled and comforted him, while looking confident.

"right!"

Xu Xuan nodded, and his eyes also showed a sense of firmness.

The Taoism was extremely excited when the Chinese scholars acted secretly. They did not expect Shu to take it so quickly. In this way, they could attack Wu immediately!

Just as the situation became more and more tense and Taoism was trying to deal with the new sect, something big happened suddenly. Huangfu Hui, a general of the Tang Dynasty, rebelled in Yedu.

"Bold Huangfu Hui! Dare to take the blame for the world!"

After receiving the news, Li Cunxu was furious. He had just captured Shu Kingdom, and it was the time when the Tang Dynasty was the strongest, so there was no room for sand.

Li Cunxu immediately issued an order, ordering Li Siyuan to lead a large army to attack. Li Siyuan was Li Keyong's adopted son, Li Cunxu's younger brother. He was brave and good at fighting and made many military achievements. At this time, he was appointed as the governor of Chengde Jiedu, the general manager of the cavalry and infantry army inside and outside the foreign Han Dynasty, and the Secretary-General.

In Li Cunxu's opinion, although Huangfu Hui had some talent, he must not be Li Siyuan's opponent.

"Your Majesty! The big thing is wrong, Li Siyuan rebelled!"

But Li Cunxu never expected that a few days later, he would come to report. As soon as Li Siyuan arrived in Weicheng, his troops mutiny and even joined forces with the rebels! What's even more annoying is that the rebels actually supported Li Siyuan as the emperor!

Li Siyuan led the rebels and was turning around and running towards Luoyang! At this time, he had just captured Shu Kingdom and the army was still on the way back, and Li Cunxiao and Feihu Army were not in Luoyang.

There was no one available for a moment, and Li Cunxu mobilized his only army and had to lead his army to fight in person. But unfortunately it was too late, and the rebels had already entered Bianliang when he arrived.

The troops were limited and there was no city to support him. Seeing this, Li Cunxu hurriedly fled. As the saying goes, it rained all night long. Li Cunxu had just returned, and the commander of Congmazhi in Luoyang, Guo Congqian, also led his troops to mutiny!

For a moment, Li Cunxu had nowhere to go and had no choice but to fight fiercely with the rebels in Luoyang.

"The fight started! Finally the fight started!"

Wu State has been paying close attention. After receiving the news of the Tang Dynasty mutiny, Xu Xuan was full of excitement and could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he thought to himself that the master had indeed made a wonderful calculation of the Three Realms.

Before leaving, Mi Xiaoxia left a document, which described the situation in the next century and the strategies of the new teaching. But in the chaotic times, Mi Xiaoxia could not have predicted everything in detail. For example, Mi Xiaoxia did not mention this crisis in Wu.

But one thing is that Mi Xiaoxia listed a large number of characters and possible actions in the document. These characters belong to various forces. Mi Xiaoxia said in the document that if it cannot be defeated head-on, it will collapse from the inside!

At this time, facing the threat from the Tang Dynasty, Xu Xuan thought about how to start from within the Tang Dynasty. He looked through the list listed by Mi Xiaoxia, found some of them, and then asked Chou Nu and others to contact him secretly.

First, he bewitched the Tang general Huangfu Hui to make him rebel. At the same time, the new education arranged people to be with Shi Jingtang, An Chonghui and Huo Yanwei. Shi Jingtang was Li Siyuan's son-in-law, and An Chonghui and Huo Yanwei were both confidants under Li Siyuan.

Li Siyuan was ordered to quell the rebellion, and the sects were made to deceive Shi Jingtang and others, so that they could persuade Huangfu Hui to rebel!

At the same time, the Chinese sect also bewitched many other generals of the Tang Dynasty, such as Guo Congqian, Luoyang.

Originally, I was just a dead horse, but I never expected that things would go so smoothly.

"I am worthy of being a master."

Thinking of this, Xu Xuan couldn't help but sigh again. If things go so smoothly, selecting people is the key. And the reason why he was able to select these people was exactly what Mi Xiaoxia had already listed?

Although Mi Xiaoxia is not here, she can calculate the people and things in this troubled times. As a great disciple, Xu Xuan couldn't help but wonder how vast his master's magical power is?

"Die! Li Cunxu is dead!"

The Tang Dynasty was already in civil turmoil. Just as Xu Xuan, Chunniang and others were planning their next plan, the Chou Nu suddenly came in excitedly.

"Gaga! I just got the news that Li Cunxu was hit by a ravage and died in the chaos!"

"Very good!"

When everyone heard this, they were all excited. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty replaced people. As the saying goes, there must be some turmoil in the court.

In this way, I don’t have time to attack Wu.

"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Xu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

"With this time, that thing can catch up."

Chunniang nodded and sneered. Although she only fought for a few more years and did not really solve the problem. But these few years are extremely important to Wu!
