Chapter 2236: All the people are soldiers, fighting to promote peace

 Many forces and people do not want Tang to lose Guanzhong. After all, Qin is already strong enough. If it captures Guanzhong, its strength will be further enhanced. This is what many people do not want to see.

Taking the Sui State as an example, once the Tang State loses Guanzhong, the Sui State will border the Qin State, and no one wants to have Qin as a neighbor.

For example, in the two countries of Shu and Chu, one of the member states of the Southern Han Alliance during the Tang Dynasty, Tang lost Guanzhong and Qin gained Guanzhong. Under the ebb and flow of one another, Qin's strength became stronger, and the strength of the Southern Han Alliance naturally also increased. It's even weaker.

Even Wei and Song, who were allies of Qin, did not want Tang to lose Guanzhong. After all, once Qin occupied Guanzhong, it would either attack Liangzhou or the Central Plains. They definitely hoped that Li Shimin could hold on longer.

 So many forces did not want Qin to occupy Guanzhong, but they had no way to stop it.

The Sui Dynasty was busy unifying Liangzhou and had no time to care about anything else.

The Kingdom of Shu has just experienced a major defeat, and the king of Shu, Liu Ji, has fallen again. Now he is trapped in an internal fight between the two factions. It is impossible to support the Tang Kingdom until the winner is determined.

Chu State also experienced a major defeat, and it was too far away from Tang State, so even if it was willing to support, it was too late.

 As for Wei and Song? The War in the Central Plains had just ended, and both countries had not yet recovered. Moreover, they were both under the eyes of Qin, so they naturally did not dare to blatantly support them, and could only provide spiritual encouragement at most.

In addition to these powerful forces, there are many people who do not want the Tang State to lose Guanzhong, such as Kong Peng, who has a grudge against the Qin State, and Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong, who were the gods of the northern and southern armies of the Han Dynasty.

After defecting to Qufu, Kong Peng's goal was very clear, which was to go and join Liu Ji, the king of Shu. In his opinion, although there were many princes in the world, only Liu Ji, the king of Shu, who led the Southern Han alliance, was qualified to compete with King Ying Hao of Qin.

Based on this consideration, the three Kong Peng brothers took a boat upstream of the Yellow River, preparing to enter Guanzhong first, and then enter Yizhou from Hanzhong.

What was unexpected was that before the Kong Peng brothers arrived in Guanzhong, they heard the news that Liu Ji was dead, and then the Guanzhong War broke out between Qin and Tang Dynasty.

The three brothers Kong Peng were at a loss as to what to do next. When they learned about the war between Qin and Tang, the three brothers decisively decided to join the Tang and help Li Shimin first, and then decide which princes to join.

When passing through Hanoi County, the eldest of the three brothers Kong Peng discovered signs of the Qin army marching in Hanoi. Kong Peng quickly deduced that the Qin army was preparing to surprise Fenglingdu, so the three brothers immediately rushed to Fenglingdu to report the news. .

The information received by Fu Cunchen was provided by the three Kong Peng brothers. It was precisely because of the information from the three brothers that Li Jing and Zhang Liao's plan was exposed in advance.

However, even if his whereabouts are exposed, it will not have much impact on the plan.

Because Huo Qubing defeated Xiao Pass and entered Guanzhong far away, Li Shimin had already transferred a large number of defenders from Zuo Fenling. Now even if he urgently mobilized troops back, it would be too late.

 So, if there are no other surprises, Zhang Liao still has a high possibility of conquering Fenglingdu.

 But, this world is very strange, full of variables and accidents, and this accident came from Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong.

Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong were implanted by the system into the Northern and Southern Military Gods of the Han Dynasty. Now Ying Hao is about to proclaim himself emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty is about to perish. Having assisted two generations of emperors of the Han Dynasty, they naturally want to go to Luoyang to see this scene with their own eyes. .

What? You mean Nanhan?

In the eyes of people like Jiang Shangwenzhong, the Han court in Luoyang was the orthodox Han Dynasty, while the Southern Han court in Chengdu was careerist.

Jiang Shang was originally not planning to go to Luoyang, but Wen Zhong couldn't help but insisted on dragging him there, so he had no choice but to go with Wen Zhong.

Not long after the two descended from the Kunlun Mountains, they learned about the outbreak of the Guanzhong War between the Qin and Tang Dynasties. Jiang Shang couldn't help but sigh: "The King of Qin has chosen a good time. At this time, when he sends troops to Guanzhong, the Tang State will be isolated and helpless. The princes will lend a helping hand."

Wen Zhongze looked surprised and said, "Junior Brother Jiang doesn't think so highly of Li Tang?"

Jiang Shang shook his head: "It's not that junior brother is not optimistic about Li Tang, but that Li Tang is facing a desperate situation now. Even if Guan Yue comes back to life, he can't save Li Tang."

Wen Zhong smiled calmly: "Guan Zhong and Leyi can't save the two saints, what about you and my senior brothers?"

The subtext is actually that the two of us together are much more powerful than Guan Zhongleyi.

Jiang Shang immediately understood what Wen Zhong meant, and after a moment of silence he said, "It's difficult, it's difficult, it's difficult." Jiang Shang mentioned three difficulties in a row, which is enough to show how difficult Li Tang's current situation is, even for a man who was just once a man. Even if the war gods of the north and south join forces, they may not be able to save the embattled Tang State.

Wen Zhong didn't say anything after hearing this. After all, like Jiang Shang, he didn't like the country Li Tang very much.

Li Shimin was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and Dong Zhuo took the greatest credit for the man's current situation. This made it difficult for Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong to have a good impression of Li Tang, and they would not choose Li Tang even if they left the mountain.

Taoist choice of Li Tang does not mean that all Taoist disciples will also choose Li Tang, and Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong are obviously not people who will be bound by the sect.

Although both of them were right in thinking so, Li Tang, the Taoists, and the Taiqing lineage were too involved.

Jiang Shang's disciple Wu Ji was pulled by people from the Taiqing lineage, and went down the mountain to join Li Tang together with several Yuqing disciples. This in turn gave Jiang Shang and Li Tang an extra layer of contact, and naturally they would be separated from each other. By yourself.

"I hope my Buji disciple can escape this disaster. At least he won't be foolishly loyal to Li Shimin and be buried with Li Tang." Jiang Shang sighed lightly.

Although Jiang Shang said this, he also knew his apprentice's temperament. If Li Tang was not saved, Wu Ji would definitely fight tooth and nail, and the possibility of surviving was slim.

At this thought, Jiang Shang felt a little unbearable and sighed: "Well, just help Li Shimin once. You are also helping my stupid disciple. Whether he can escape this disaster depends on Li Shimin himself."

When passing through Wuzhangyuan, Jiang Shang went to the Tang camp under the protection of another apprentice, Long Xuhu, but was stopped by the soldiers guarding the camp.

Tang Bing saw that Longxuhu was two meters tall and strong, while Jiang Shang was an immortal. Neither of them looked like mortals, so they naturally did not dare to be rude.

“Old man, this is an important place for the military camp, and no one can get close to it.”

 “I’m looking for General Bukit.”

 “Who are you General Bukit?”

 “I am Buji’s master.”

 “Wait a moment, I’d like to report to you, little one.”

Wu Ji was naturally overjoyed when he learned that Jiang Shang was coming. He hurried out of the camp to greet him and wanted to introduce his master to Li Shimin, but Jiang Shang refused.

 “You are a rebellious disciple, you are stuck in the quagmire, and you are dragging down your teacher.”

Jiang Shang slapped Wu Ji on the back of the head, but Wu Ji, who was majestic on the battlefield, now had a face full of grievances like a child.

"Master will not see Li Shimin. Disciple, please pass this letter on to me. Master has done his best. Whether he listens to it or not is his own business."

After saying that, Jiang Shang turned around and left without giving Wu Ji a chance to speak.

Unable to stop him, Wu Ji hurriedly went to report to Li Shimin and handed over Jiang Shang's letter on his behalf.

Li Shimin was shocked when he learned that Wu Ji's master had arrived. He naturally knew Jiang Shang's identity, so he quickly opened the letter and started flipping through it, but he didn't want to be shocked by the first line of the letter.

 You know that Li Tang is not far away from the end of his country.

  Next, Jiang Shang analyzed from all aspects and stated the situation in which Tang State was now isolated and besieged on all sides. He also gave methods to avoid it, but he could not guarantee that it would be 100% effective.

 This method is: the whole country is in arms and war is used to promote peace.
