……
After the morning court, Zheng Ming returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The plan to go to the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms has been finalized long ago. The Governor's Mansion and the cabinet are all prepared, so he doesn't need to worry too much, but he still needs to agree to some things.
For example, the dispatch of priests in the hall of worship cannot go out with the army without Zheng Ming's consent.
As soon as he sat down in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Chen Ze hurried over with a memorial.
"Your Majesty, this is the enshrinement proposed by the minister to accompany the army."
Zheng Ming took the memorial and read it.
After reading it, Zheng Ming shook his head and said, "There is no need for so many offerings."
There are more than 30 people enshrined in the army planned by Chen Ze, including twelve great masters and 23 grand masters.
This was planned by him based on the information provided by Jin Yiwei on the Hall of Chaofo and the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
"Why?" Chen Ze asked suspiciously.
Zheng Ming said with a smile: "The great monks in Chaofo Hall and Ten Thousand Buddha Hall have been beheaded by Dugu Qiubai and Ximen Chuuxue, and they can't come back, so now there are no great masters in the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms."
"It's enough to bring two great masters to sit in the town, there is no need to trouble so many people."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Let Master Compassion and Ye Nanxin go."
After all, it is a Buddhist country, and no one is more suitable than compassion.
"I obey!" Chen Ze said.
After Chen Ze left, Zheng Ming sat in front of the desk and said to Xiao Fuzi: "You go and deliver the decree to the Hall of Enshrinement, appointing Zhang Shitou as the second generation of Tianshifu, and Miss Ruoshui as the head of the Taoist sect. "
Both Zhang Zhiwei and Xiaomeng went to Tianyuzong, Tianshi Mansion and Daozong couldn't live without their masters.
Zhang Shitou is Zhang Zhiwei's personal disciple. Although he is only 11 years old, it is reasonable for him to take over as the celestial master.
And Ruoshui is also Xiaomeng's disciple, only this year. He is Xiaomeng's next generation master, and Zheng Ming has no reason to change it.
Fortunately, the number of people in Tianshi Mansion and Taoist Sect is relatively small, and the weakness of the head of the sect does not have much influence.
But without Zhang Zhiwei and Xiaomeng, Tianshifu and Daozong will inevitably decline, and Zheng Ming needs to support them vigorously.
Xiao Fuzi responded, and immediately went to the hall of worship to deliver the decree.
Zheng Ming recruited Yuhuatian again and asked him to send someone to bring Canglong Ling back.
The Canglong Token was buried in Dongpu before, so there is no need to keep hiding it now.
Although Zheng Ming didn't value Canglongling, he couldn't let it go to waste.
There are many exercises of the Four Spirits Sacred Palace on the Canglong Token, and it is also related to the disappearance of the Eastern Sacred Palace. It can be retrieved to find out the reason why the Eastern Sacred Palace disappeared thousands of years ago.
The matter of the Canglong Order was handed over to Yuhuatian, and Zheng Ming held the jade pendant of Tianyundongtian and meditated.
Up to now, he still hasn't figured out what to do with this thing.
It's definitely not going to be left idle like this.
After thinking about it, he decided to hand over Tianyun Dongtian to Yuan Tiangang, and at the same time let Yuan Tiangang break through to the cave god realm.
The elixir given by Luo Qingyu was enough for ten people to break through to the grand master rank.
As for the Tianyundongtian, Zheng Ming kept it, except that it can be used as a place outside the world, and it doesn't have much use.
And he can't go to the location of the cave portal to deal with things in the cave.
Handing it over to Yuan Tiangang can make Tianyundongtian a base for Jinyiwei to train dead soldiers. As for the survivors of the original Tianyun Dynasty inside, Zheng Ming thinks it is better to keep them inside and let Yuan Tiangang brainwash them.
After finishing these chores, Zheng Ming went back to the harem to accompany his wife to take care of the children.
And while Zheng Ming was watching the children, the huge machine of Dali Chaotang began to operate.
……
Today, the five major military regions in Dali have a total of about 500 million soldiers, of which there are more than 90 soldiers in the western theater. They are well-trained and equipped, and all of them are elite soldiers.
Zhao Yun was then the General Protector of the Western Regions.
Now Zhao Yun is already a master master, no matter in terms of ability or strength, he is enough to serve as the general protector.
At this time, Zhao Yun was dealing with some affairs in the military in the study of the Duhu Mansion.
A personal guard stood outside the door and reported: "My lord, Dudu Chen from the Dudu Mansion is here."
Zhao Yun stood up abruptly, and looked at the guard outside the door in astonishment.
"Why is Dudu Chen here? Where is he?"
He walked around the desk in a hurry towards the door.
"It's already in the lobby, waiting for the general." The guard replied.
As Zhao Yun walked towards the lobby, he was thinking secretly.
There is only one reason for Chen Ze to leave Kyoto and come to the Western Protectorate, and that is to go to the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms.
It's just that he didn't expect Chen Ze to come so soon. It stands to reason that he should have arranged for someone to communicate in advance.
Walking into the lobby, Zhao Yun saw Chen Ze at a glance.
"The last general, Zhao Yun, pays homage to the governor!" Zhao Yun cupped his hands in obeisance.
Chen Ze laughed, stretched out his hand to support Zhao Yun, and said, "General Zhao please hurry up."
Zhao Yun raised his head, looked at him and asked, "The governor came here suddenly, did your Majesty already give an order?"
"That's right!" Chen Ze said with a smile.
"This is His Majesty's will and the order of the Governor's Mansion."
He handed Zhao Yun an imperial decree and a document.
After Zhao Yun opened it and inspected it carefully, he said happily: "Master Governor, the Western Protectorate has been preparing for more than a year, and it is finally useful."
Chen Ze nodded slightly, and introduced the people behind him, "General Zhao, this is Master Compassionate, this is Enshrine Ye Nanxin, and this is Enshrine Rong Wanshan from Tianshi Mansion. .”
Zhao Yun hurriedly greeted several people one by one.
"In addition, the officials of the Governor's Mansion and the other enshrined soldiers in the Shrine Hall are still on the way, and they will arrive in three days." Chen Ze continued.
"How are you preparing for the Western Protectorate?"
Zhao Yun said with a relaxed expression: "It has been prepared according to the plan. The 90 troops are ready to go out at any time."
Chen Ze nodded, and said, "Immediately summon the commanders, deputy commanders, and the western commander of Jinyiwei. Let's establish a marching plan first."
Zhao Yun replied: "The general will follow orders."
Subsequently.
Zhao Yun ordered hundreds of messengers to send orders to military camps in various places.
The Western Protectorate was established outside Bailian City, Yuanyuan, Guiyun Province, while the armies under the Protectorate were distributed in Guiyun Province, Beijiang Province, and Western Beijing Province. It is estimated that it will take two or three days to complete the convening.
……
July 25th of the fifth year of Huaxia.
In the Western Protectorate, Chen Ze discussed matters with hundreds of generals from the Western War Zone.
In fact, the battle plan has already been prepared. Whether it is terrain detection, marching route, or specific strategy, it has already been determined. Now it is only necessary to pass on the general's order.
After the discussion was over and the commanders and deputy commanders of the various armies returned, the entire western theater was in motion.
All armies and ministries marched westward according to the established marching route.
The 90 troops moved together and couldn't hide it at all, which quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding forces.
The first to get nervous is naturally the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms in the west of Dali.
When Dali occupied Bayu Mountain, they already had a premonition that Dali would attack them.
He even invested millions of troops on the border with Dali.
Although they had been prepared for a long time, they still couldn't help getting nervous in the face of the menacing Dali army, especially when the two great masters in the Chaofo Hall were not there at this time.
In addition to the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms, the Longyuan royal court on the northwest grassland couldn't help becoming nervous.
Over the years, Ye Su'er has not been idle. Not only has the entire grassland been unified, but he has also worked hard to establish a Longyuan Royal Court that has never been seen on the grassland.
Although the strength is much worse than that of Dali and Dajin, it should not be underestimated.
Chapter 263 The Wind and the Clouds Move
At this time, Ye Su'er was sitting in the king's tent at the foot of Longyuan Mountain.
Frowning beside him, the old shaman in divine clothes looked extremely solemn.
"National Teacher, Da Li has already conquered the Great Zhou and the Wuman tribes, and now he is going to conquer the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms. The next one must be our Longyuan Royal Court. What should we do?"
Ye Su'er frowned and asked in a low voice.
Now Dali's ambition is known to everyone, he has to guard against it.
But the strength of Longyuan Royal Court alone is not enough to resist Dali's attack.
As early as five years ago, they had already seen Dali's strength, and in the past five years, Dali's strength has improved rapidly, and various rumors continued to come from Dali.
"Khan, we have to make a choice before Dali conquers us, surrender or fight, we can only choose one." The old shaman said.
Ye Su'er had a contemplative expression on his rough face, and asked, "How should I submit, how should I resist?"
The old shaman said in a low voice: "If you choose to surrender, the Great Khan will give up his honorable throne. Before Dali conquers the eight Buddhist kingdoms, he will present the letter of credence to the Dali court and bow his head as a vassal. In this way, the Great Khan can borrow the throne in exchange for Dali." A noble title of Li is like that of the Wuman tribe."
"If you want to fight, the Great Khan will immediately send envoys to the Dajin Dynasty and the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms to persuade them to form an alliance against Dali. When Dali attacks the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms, send troops to attack Dali to support the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms."
Ye Su'er frowned even more after listening.
He wanted neither option.
He just wants to be his prairie king honestly.
But he also knew it was impossible.
Dali would not allow it, and the Dajin Dynasty and the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms would not allow him to be peaceful, and would definitely do everything possible to drag him into trouble.
Facing the powerful Dali Dynasty, as long as the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms are not stupid, they will definitely unite all forces that can be united to resist.
"How do the national teachers think we should choose?" he asked.
The old shaman was silent for a moment and said, "Surrender!"
"Why?" Ye Suer said dissatisfied.
He is more inclined to fight to the death than surrender.
He is not a coward and he is not afraid to fight.
"If you choose to surrender, you can live and protect the herdsmen on the prairie, but fighting is just a meaningless struggle."
"Dali is too powerful. According to what we know about Dali, the Dali dynasty has at least ten great masters, or even more. Unless we can get the hermit sect to take action, we have no chance."
The old shaman said.
In the past, the hermit sect was a secret in the practice world, and few people knew about it.
But in recent years, the hermit sects have shown up frequently, and they have gone out to sea with great fanfare. Their existence is no longer a secret.
Ye Su'er lowered his head and pondered.
Looking for help from the Yinxiu sect, he, the Great Khan of the Grassland, doesn't have such a big face.
Besides, there is a price to be paid for asking the hermit sect to help. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
More importantly, he didn't know how to contact the hermit sect.
After thinking about it, it seemed that he really had no chance to choose.
"Go to Dali Capital and be an idle nobleman!" Ye Su'er murmured in a low voice.
Now Gelai is an idle nobleman, Zheng Ming didn't make things difficult for him too much, nor did he pay too much attention to him, he just gave him the title of Uncle Annan.
If he chooses to surrender, the probability is the same.
"Khan, our advantage lies in the unified royal court. If we choose to surrender now, we may be able to obtain greater benefits." The old shaman raised his head, his sunken eyes were deep and distant.
