Chapter 425     The Kingdom of Guzhu

"Now, I have included all the Liao Kingdom and Xixia in our Liang Kingdom. Now the road between the Western Regions and the Central Plains can be said to be prosperous. I have only one thing to come to you today, that is, to tell you that from now on, the Liang Kingdom will once again control the Western Regions. Not only that, I will also assist the Western Regions countries in developing their economy and military. But there is a major premise, that is, you must all obey my will. If someone dares to disobey him, I will never be polite to him. I believe you should all know this in your heart."

Wu Tian's words hit the hearts of the four vassal kings present like lightning.

They looked at each other, and finally Songtsen Gampo stepped forward, bowed to Wu Tian, ​​and said, "Your Majesty, I am here this time to respect Your Majesty as the Heavenly Khan of the Western Regions and command the countries of the Western Regions. We are all very clear about what Your Majesty said. Don't worry, since we respect you as the Heavenly Khan, we are treating ourselves as your servant, how dare we have two hearts towards you from now on. It's just..."

Speaking of this, Songtsen Gampo paused and said nothing.

Wu Tian heard something in this and stared at Songtsengan and preached: "King of Tubo, just say anything if you have anything to do. There are no outsiders here."

Songtsen Gampo nodded and bowed to Wu Tian and said, "If this is the case, there was a Blood Sword Sect in the Western Regions in the early years, and His Majesty must have known this."

When Wu Tian heard this, his face changed slightly and he said, "How could I not know? The Blood Sword Ancestor, the head of the Blood Sword Sect, often opposed me when I destroyed the Liao Dynasty. I always wanted to avenge this hatred, but I had no chance. This time I attacked Xixia, but I didn't see him or Li Yun. I was still puzzled. Could it be that they had escaped to the Western Regions?"

Songtsen Gampo bowed and said, "When I came to Yinchuan City, I heard that the Blood Sword Ancestor and Li Yun captured the Guzhu Kingdom in the northern part of the Western Regions. With the national strength of the Guzhu Kingdom, they defeated the thirty-six small countries in the north, unified the northern territory, and occupied the road to Mobei. Not only that, he also joined forces with the Tsar Kingdom, which was further north of the Mobei Kingdom, and tried to fight southward to unify the remaining Western Regions."

Hearing this, Wu Tian was slightly surprised, waved to Dai Zong over and whispered a few instructions.

Dai Zong left.

Wu Tian looked at Songzan Ganbu, smiled faintly, and said, "It's just a small blood sword gate, what's it? I am now your master, so this matter will naturally take action for you. As long as my subordinates investigate this matter clearly, I will take action immediately to clear the Guzhu Kingdom for you and protect your land security."

Songtsen Gampo, King Hami and Wu Tian of the Donghu Dynasty knelt down and bowed, "Your Majesty is kind, we will never forget it. From now on, Your Majesty will be the master of our kings in the Western Regions. If you need anything, just give me an order, we will immediately recruit you."

Wu Tian nodded slightly, but when he saw Yelu Guang not kneeling, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Dongfang Wen had sharp eyes and gently pushed Yelu Guang.

Yelu Guang came to his senses and saw Wu Tian staring at him, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Wu Tian nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to signal them to get up.

"You all go back first. If you don't need anything else, just prepare some food for me. Three days later, I personally lead the army into the Western Regions and head straight to Guzhu Kingdom."

"yes!"

After bowing, the four Khans bowed and retreated silently.

Two days later, Wu Tian handled the official documents in the study. Dai Zong came in and bowed to Wu Tian: "Your Majesty, I have investigated it clearly. After Li Yun and the Blood Sword Ancestor left the Western Xia Kingdom, they defected to the Guzhu Kingdom. They pretended to be an envoy sent by Xixia, tricked the Guzhu King out of the city and killed them, forged the Guzhu King's documents, and supported a puppet to be the Guzhu King. Later, the time was ripe, Li Yun killed the puppet, became the Guzhu King himself, and sealed the Blood Sword Ancestor as the head of the Blood Sword, and developed the Blood Sword Sect. At the same time, they cultivated a large number of killers and lurked to the small Western countries in the north of the Guzhu Kingdom."

"Finally, when Liang State attacked the Western Xia, the countries in the Western Regions were all focused on this war. Li Yun sent the Blood Knife Patriarch to lead the army of Guzhu State, united with the killers who had sent other countries before, and soon destroyed a group of small countries and unified the northern part of the Western Regions. At the same time, Liang State occupied the land of Xixia, and Li Yun was afraid that we would settle the score with him, so he wrote a letter to the Tsar Kingdom 300 miles north of the Moon. The two sides reached an agreement. As long as the Tsar Kingdom was willing to help him unify the countries in the southern Western Regions, he was willing to help the Tsar Kingdom seize the land of the Moon."

"The land in the north of the Mohe is very close to our Liao land. If all the tribes in the north of the Mohe are annexed by the Tsar, the State of Liang will border them."

After listening to Dai Zong's report, Wu Tian pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "What is the current domestic economic development and military combat capabilities of this Tsarist country?"

Dai Zong said: "The land area of ​​the Tsar is larger than that of the Liang Kingdom today, more than twice that of ours. However, in addition to the eastern region, the areas close to our Liang Kingdom are suitable for population living and economic development. The central region has many mountains and long strategic depth. As for the western and northern regions, heavy snow is always snowing, and it is not suitable for human habitation. Therefore, the Tsar's population is only half of the Liang Kingdom and its economy is only one-third of the Liang Kingdom. However, the conventional forces have reached one million. Without using new weapons, it may be evenly matched with us. It is not to be afraid of using new weapons."

Wu Tian nodded and said to Dai Zong: "You are now sending orders to Hua Rong and Guan Sheng, ordering them to start comprehensive martial law from now on, strengthen soldiers' training, and be ready to enter the Western Regions at any time. In addition, send people to invite Lu Zhishen to come and ask him to come quickly."

"yes!"

Dai Zong went to pass the order.

The next day, just as dawn, Lu Zhishen hurried into Wu Tian's study, knelt in front of him and bowed: "My minister Lu Zhishen pays homage to Your Majesty."

Wu Tian helped Lu Zhishen up, patted his shoulder and said, "Master Lu, thank you for your hard work all the way."

"I dare not say that I have worked hard. If your Majesty has something to do, I should come forward to serve you immediately."

Lu Zhishen bowed and said.

Wu Tian nodded with satisfaction and said, "I asked you to come here to guard the Xixia region that I just captured. I now grant you the commander-in-chief of the Northwest, the Duke of the Northwest, the General of the Gamaginable Wu, and the commander of 100,000 troops and 500 red-clothed cannons to protect this place, and the commander camp is set up in Yinchuan City. During the period when I went to the Western Regions, you not only have to manage the Xixia region well, but also have to dispatch military rations and quilts for the army at any time. Do you understand?"

Lu Zhishen was overjoyed. Although he was just a duke, he became a vassal official who guarded the country from then on, and he was a glorious family.
