Changsheng opens treasure chests everywhere

Chapter 536 Change Reversal
Seeing Mi Xiaoxia again, the Jade Emperor was very happy, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

The two chatted for more than two hours, and no one knew what they talked about.After leaving the Lingxiao Palace and leaving the Heavenly Court, Mi Xiaoxia went straight back to Qingqiu.

The small killing has already begun, although it is only the beginning, and the killing intent is not obvious, but it is also extremely important.But at this time, since Mi Xiaoxia went to the Heavenly Court, he has been staying in Qingqiu, closing the door.

Outsiders were puzzled, and there were speculations for a while. The mainstream theory is that although Mi Xiaoxia captured the Taoists, he was also injured in the battle, and he is recovering from his injuries at this time.

In fact, Mi Xiaoxia was calm and relaxed, just waiting for an opportunity.

In the mortal world, the war is still going on.

Datang continued to increase its troops and wanted to capture Jinling in one fell swoop, but there was no progress.Without the participation of Taoism and Xinjiao, it is said that the impact on the two armies is the same, but it is not.

Taoism left, and took away the raining ink Jiao at the same time.When the sky cleared over Jinling, the artillery could continue to be used.

Siege is much more difficult than defense, and Jinling is notoriously easy to defend but difficult to attack.With the help of artillery at this time, it was almost a daydream for Tang Jun to want to capture Jinling.

Without Mo Jiaobu Yu, you can only see the face of God.The whole Tang army was looking forward to the rain. Even some generals did not fight and set up altars and knelt on the ground to pray for rain, but after half a month, there was not even a breath of wind.

How did they know that even though the new sect had been withdrawn, they had already greeted Heavenly Court.Not to mention ten days and a half months, even one year, Jinling probably won't rain.

"Siege!"

Li Siyuan didn't dare to attack the city without rain, and after half a month's delay, Li Siyuan was not happy, and issued several imperial edicts one after another to urge him.Tang Shuai had no choice but to command the army to attack forcibly.

Boom boom boom...

Amidst the deafening artillery sound, the Tang army attacked the city dozens of times for seven days in a row, and they were all blasted back.Even without touching the city wall, 10,000+ troops have been lost.

"How can this be good..."

In the big tent of the Tang army, the generals all had bitter faces, as if their parents had died.

"Ask for help..."

There is no way, the current situation cannot attack Jinling at all.Tang Shuai sighed, and immediately drafted a memorial to ask the court for help.

"Cannon... Cannon!"

The military situation was expedited for eight hundred miles, and it was sent to the Luoyang Palace overnight.Li Siyuan looked at the memorial and frowned.

This memorial seems to be asking for help, but it is actually complaining. Under the attack of artillery, it is good that they are not repelled, and there is no room for attacking the city.

"Attack is worse than siege..."

After reading the memorial, the whole article reveals this meaning.A strong attack will definitely not work, it is better to besiege and not attack, and turn Jinling into an isolated city, slowly dying.

Actually, how could Li Siyuan not understand this truth?
But his health is deteriorating, and he has a premonition that time is running out.Seeing that the world is about to be reunified in his hands, if he just let it go like this, he would be unwilling!
Whether to attack or besiege, Li Siyuan fell into a deep contradiction.

"Your Majesty! Something is wrong, Meng Zhixiang rebelled!"

Just when Li Siyuan was hesitating, an urgent report from Sichuan came.

"What... poof!"

Upon receiving this news, Li Siyuan's eyes widened, and he was furious for a moment, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Meng Zhixiang was Li Keyong's nephew, and he was highly valued. After the Tang Dynasty captured Shu, he was appointed as the governor of Xichuan, and later he was even named the king of Shu.

But unexpectedly, Meng Zhixiang turned against him.

It is clearly stated in the memorial that Meng Zhixiang has sent troops to Dongchuan, and Dongchuan Dongzhang is definitely not his opponent.And once Meng Zhixiang occupies Liangchuan, it will not be far from self-reliance.

"Decree, order the Wu army to come back."

When he came back to his senses, Li Siyuan's breath was weak, and he immediately ordered someone to draw up an imperial edict.Withdrew the army attacking Jinling and dispatched troops to calm down the situation in Sichuan and Sichuan.

"The Tang army has retreated!"

"Win!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

On Jinling City, watching the Tang Dynasty's army slowly retreat, all the soldiers burst into loud shouts.

"Everyone! The army of the Tang Dynasty has withdrawn, and it's time for us to recover the lost ground!"

Immediately afterwards, after some planning in Jinling City, it was immediately decided to send troops to take back the towns of Wu State that had been captured by the Tang Dynasty.

With the withdrawal of the Tang army as a signal, Wu's counterattack officially began!
In this battle between Tang and Wu, the country of Wu actually did not consume much, because it did not fight head-on with Tang Jun from the beginning to the end.So at this time, almost complete strength is still preserved.

At this time, the main force of the Tang army has been withdrawn. How can it stop the Wu army with a few scattered defenders?

Next, the state of Wu conquered the lost ground, which can be described as victorious, and the Tang army fled in anticipation.In less than a month, Wu Guo took back all the towns that the Tang army captured in two or three years!

Not only that, taking advantage of the weakening of the Tang Dynasty's troops at this time, the Wu army continued to advance and expand the border of Wu State outward!

"Your Majesty, this is a booklet asking for help from various places..."

In the middle of the night, in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, the eunuch brought a large pile of memorials, which was as tall as a person, and they were full of left-behind people asking for help.

Li Siyuan was wearing clothes, he couldn't stop coughing violently, his face was frighteningly pale under the palace lantern.In the two Sichuans and the Wu Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty took care of one and lost the other.And most importantly, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty was already empty after attacking Wu State two years ago.

Wars cost money, not to mention fighting on two fronts.At this time, there are also signs of instability in the vassal states in various places.Li Siyuan was already seriously ill, but he had to insist on handling political affairs.

But in this way, Li Siyuan's health became worse and worse, and he was not far from the end.

"almost."

The war in the mortal world is chaotic, in the Qingqiu, Mi Xiaoxia chuckled, and left Qingqiu again, still headed for Tushita Palace.

Since Mi Xiaoxia came back, he left Qingqiu twice, and both times went to Tushita Palace.

"Master Mijia is here, and some are far away to welcome, some are far away to welcome."

He is familiar with the road, but this time he just arrived at the gate of Tushita Palace, and saw the Taishang Laojun coming out with his arms folded.Unlike last time, Taishang Laojun greeted him personally this time.

How long has it been since then, and the attitude has changed so much before and after.Mi Xiaoxia smiled, but did not speak, and followed Taishang Laojun straight to the main hall.

"What Master Mi said last time, the old Taoist has already considered it, and it is not impossible."

This time straight to the point, Taishang Laojun smiled and continued.

"But in order to show sincerity, in addition to hoping that your religion will release my disciples, I also hope that Master Mi will give an order to order Wu to stop the war against the Tang Dynasty."

"Hehe, Laojun really knows how to do business."

Mi Xiaoxia smiled, drinking tea but did not reply immediately.

Seeing Mi Xiaoxia's unhurried look, Taishang Laojun felt anxious for a while.

The Tang Dynasty was supported by Taoism, and Taoism wholeheartedly allowed the Tang Dynasty to reunify the world and once again establish a dynasty where Taoism was respected.But in the current situation, the Tang Dynasty is under the enemy's back and forth, and there are signs of turmoil in various places.

Li Siyuan can be regarded as a generation of bright masters, but the situation is too bad, even if he is unable to recover.If it continues like this, the Tang Dynasty, let alone unify the world, is likely to collapse in an instant!

After all, the vassals and towns all over the country are like grass on the wall. Once they see that the Tang Dynasty is weak, they are likely to rebel immediately.

So at this time, as one of the main enemies, Wu Guo's attitude is extremely important!

As we all know, Wu Guo is completely under the control of Xinjiao, and at this time, Mi Xiaoxia, the leader of Xinjiao, is still drinking tea leisurely.
