Su Ming was not surprised, but comforted him, “It’s okay, the Bad Man has tried his best, and he can’t be stopped. He was able to delay the court for so long, and he really didn’t let me down.”

“Be flat.”

Yuan Tiangang followed suit and stood up straight, “Your Majesty, if Yelu Abaoji learns of the news, he will be furious and will take advantage of the fact that the Tang Dynasty is not yet firmly established to launch an attack.”

Su Ming looked into the dark eyes and said in a deep voice, “I have already prepared for this matter, and I don’t believe that you don’t know about it. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly.”

“Since ancient times, those who are good at fighting have never had powerful soldiers. If Your Majesty wants to lead the army in person to fight against the foreign tribes on the grassland, I beg to join the army and do my part.”

Unexpectedly, Yuan Tiangang did not try to persuade him, but instead asked for a fight.

Su Ming smiled faintly, “Since you have a request, I will agree to it.” As he spoke, Su Ming suddenly remembered something, “The Ten Thousand Poison Cave should be returned to its original owner. I don’t want to see any accidents in the border area of ​​the Hundred Thousand Mountains.”

“Your Majesty, rest assured. He is one of the thirty-six captains of the Wu Wang Shi Bad People. He dare not disobey your Majesty’s orders.”

“Okay, you go down and do your work first.”

“Wei Chen resigns!”

After Yuan Tiangang left, Su Ming smiled and looked in a certain direction, “Come out, I will not break my promise to you.”

After a few breaths, You Chuan walked out from behind the pillar, “You Chuan thanks your Majesty.”

Being in Luoyang, he was very clear about the affairs of the court. The man in front of him was about the same age as himself, but he established a dynasty and restored the Tang Dynasty, and all this took only a few years.

He solved the problem of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave with just a few words.

He also knew that Su Ming had more than one woman, but Chi Meng didn’t say anything, so he couldn’t interfere. What’s more, he couldn’t interfere.

The battle for the Longquan Treasure made him understand what the pinnacle of humanity is and what the ultimate force is. In front of such powerful force, he was just an insignificant ant.

It’s time to let go!

You Chuan sighed in his heart and bowed deeply to Su Ming, “Your Majesty, the matter of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave has been resolved, and it is time for You Chuan to go back. Please, Your Majesty, bid farewell to Chi Meng on my behalf.”

“What? Aren’t you going to say goodbye to her in person?” To this day, Chi Meng still loves him to death, and he doesn’t worry at all that You Chuan will steal her away.

A bootlicker will never have a future, and Feiyangyang is even worse.

Chi Meng is the eternal pain in You Chuan’s heart. When he mentions her, his expression becomes unnatural. “No need. I have to go back and report as soon as possible, so as not to worry my foster father.”

“Okay, You Chuan, take care on your journey! The gate of Luoyang Palace will always be open to you.”

“Farewell.”

That day, You Chuan packed his luggage and left Luoyang.

He was alone when he came and he was still alone when he left. From the Shiwanda Mountains to Luoyang, a long journey of thousands of miles, he still couldn’t win her heart. After all, the childhood sweethearts were no match for the rival who appeared out of nowhere.

That night, Su Ming had sex with Chi Meng.

After a period of passionate lovemaking, Chi Meng lay in his arms, her fair face flushed, her skin rosy and very moist. Just as she was enjoying the afterglow, Su Ming suddenly told her that You Chuan had left.

Chi Meng was stunned at first, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her purple eyes, “Why didn’t Brother You Chuan say goodbye to me? I should go and see him off.”

Seeing this, Su Ming suddenly had the idea of ​​teasing, “Can’t you guess why he didn’t say goodbye to you?”

Hearing this, Chi Meng fell silent.

After a long while, she finally spoke, “It’s impossible for me and Brother You Chuan to be together. Even if you weren’t here, I wouldn’t like him. In my eyes, he’s just a brother.”

If You Chuan heard this, he might give up.

But Su Ming knew that for the rest of his life, he would probably never set foot in the Central Plains again. He was destined not to hear these words, and Su Ming would not sympathize with him.

The dog licker does not deserve sympathy.

He admired his affection and devotion, but he did not agree with this kind of feeling because it was not worth it. Of course, love is unreasonable and there is no such thing as worth or not worth it.

Then Su Ming did not mention him again, but changed the subject, “The matter of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave has been resolved. Yuan Tiangang has sent a message, ordering him to release the Gu King Chi Li. Maybe he has already released Chi Li.”

“Really?”

Ever since she got together with Su Ming, Chi Meng had been immersed in tenderness and love and couldn’t extricate herself. She had long forgotten her father. When she suddenly heard his words at this moment, Chi Meng was very moved and hugged him tightly, refusing to let go.

“Thank you.”

“You are my woman, so of course I have to help you. You don’t have to worry about the Ten Thousand Poison Cave anymore.” Su Ming put his arm around his shoulders and chuckled.

Chi Meng nodded vigorously, then her eyes rolled and slid down Su Ming’s chest.

After a moment, Su Ming’s eyes widened and he trembled with excitement. She had been reluctant all along, but today, she took the initiative. It was such an unexpected surprise.

……

Mobei, Khitan royal court.

“Bastard!”

“fraud!”

“waste!”

In the main hall, Yelu Abaoji’s roars rang out one after another, and the palace servants were trembling with fear and their faces turned pale.

Before Queen Shuliduo of Yingtian entered, she heard the angry voice, so she winked at the palace servants, signaling them to leave.

Suddenly, they felt as if they had been pardoned. They bowed to Shulido and then quietly retreated.

“Qiu Lizhi, what happened?” Shuliduo walked behind Yelu Abaoji, rubbed his shoulders, and said softly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Yelu Abaoji stopped talking.

Seeing this, Shuliduo smiled gently and did not ask any more questions.

When Yelu Abaoji’s anger had almost subsided, he finally spoke, “Yueliduo, I was deceived by that kid from Zhongyuan.”

Shulido was confused for a moment. What was going on?

“Just now, the spies in the Central Plains sent us news that a month ago, the Jin, Qi, and Shu kingdoms all surrendered to the Central Plains court at the same time. We were deceived!”

Instantly, Shuliduo’s pupils shrank. After a long silence, she sighed, “Qiusilizhi, is the news correct?”

“Of course it’s true. It has spread all over the south. If it weren’t for the bad guys behind this, they wouldn’t have kept it secret for so long.” Thinking of this, Yelu Abaoji felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

Now that the incident has already happened, it is meaningless to pursue it any further. The most important thing now is how to deal with it. “Chuilizhi, what are you going to do next?”

Yelu Abaoji pondered for a moment, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, “I personally led the army south to the Central Plains. After such a long time, I will not repeat the same mistake again.”

“The Central Plains court must surrender, and this boy must not be allowed to stay! If he lives, he will be a great enemy of the Khitans.”

Chapter 285 Yelu Abaoji’s Decision

Back then, he led an army of 300,000 to invade the south. He was young and strong at that time, and full of ambition. The Central Plains was in chaos.

In his eyes, the two countries of Jin and Liang were fighting each other and restraining each other. They were no match for him at all. With 300,000 troops at hand, he just wanted to ask, who else was there!

Unexpectedly, I was taught a lesson by that man the moment I turned around.

A few thousand cavalrymen dared to attack his 300,000-strong army. He lost miserably in that battle and never went south again after that.

Two years ago, the Tang Dynasty was restored and Luoyang sent an envoy. When he learned that the emperor of the Central Plains court was his adopted brother Li Xingyun whom he had met before, he immediately became interested.

In his opinion, Li Xingyun was naive and gullible, and he came to Khitan this time because he was forced to seek external help.

This was a situation where the fisherman benefited from the conflict between the two parties, so he gave money and people, and even married his daughter to the emperor in order to strengthen the power of the imperial court.

Force him to fight with Li Siyuan. When the war breaks out, nothing will be up to them. No matter whether Li Siyuan or Li Xingyun wins, it will be a miserable victory and will only make things difficult for him.

He only needs to lead his army south at the last moment and give the so-called victor a light blow. How can the victor resist after this tragic victory?

Either surrender and cede territory, or die.

In this way, he will be able to achieve final victory without any effort.

Originally in history, after his death, the Later Tang Dynasty established by Li Siyuan was quite powerful, and Yelu Deguang did not dare to go south until Shi Jingtang was forced to rebel and offered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Although the terrain was strategic and there was no defense in the Central Plains, Yelu Deguang still did not move south. He waited until the older generation of vassal states died out before he led his army south and plundered all the money and food in the Central Plains.

Even so, Yelu Deguang died suddenly on his way back.

The Central Plains that Yelu Deguang invaded had to be weakened time and time again before he could succeed. This shows how strong the martial virtues of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were at that time.

It was only after the Khitan took control of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that they completely established their position as the overlord of the grassland.

But now, everything is gone, Yelu Abaoji has been cheated.

The rumor that the Luoyang court was going to send troops to Taiyuan to attack Li Siyuan together with Qi State was all lies.

Thinking about the tens of thousands of war horses they had sent to the Central Plains in the past two years, Yelu Abaoji felt a headache. These war horses must have been used to form cavalry to deal with him.

Yelu Abaoji laughed out of anger and praised Su Ming, “What a good method and scheme, why didn’t I see it back then!”

Seeing that he had stabilized, Shuliduo felt relieved. She was a strong woman and knew how much of a threat the unification of the Central Plains would bring to the Khitan.

Li Xingyun was able to force three countries to surrender. No matter what means he used, with his strength and scheming, he was a formidable opponent.

In order to force them to fight each other, they had sent a lot of money and food. These aids would be used against them in turn, not to mention the war horses that flowed into the Central Plains.

A trace of worry appeared on Shuliduo’s beautiful face. “Qielizhi, are you really going to mobilize 500,000 troops?”

Yelu Abaoji touched the wolf tooth necklace on his neck, his expression solemn, “Well, the emperor of the Central Plains has gained three countries, and his strength has skyrocketed. Even if he doesn’t train his troops, he can sweep the world with the armies of those vassal states alone.”

“I can’t let him succeed, otherwise, we will be in big trouble. I’m old, I can only live one day at a time, but I can’t leave such a big disaster for my children and grandchildren.”

“Since we are destined to have a war, let me, Yelu Abaoji, do it. I will tell Li Xingyun to give back what he has taken from me. If you want to unify the world, you are just dreaming!”

At the end, his words were full of finality.

Seeing this, Shuliduo sighed in her heart and stopped persuading him. However, when she thought of the letter Li Xingyun wrote to her, a layer of gloom rose in her heart.

She had a premonition that perhaps Chuoli would fail again this time. However, she could not say it, because he was the king of Khitan, and even though she was his wife, she could not persuade him at this time and could only support him.

Now that the decision had been made, Yelu Abaoji began to execute it vigorously. “Yueliduo, have someone notify the other tribal leaders to hold a meeting in three days to discuss the march south.”

Shuliduo nodded, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, “Qiusilizhi, what about you?”

Yelu Abaoji sighed and said, “I’m going to ask the shaman Changshengtian’s Master Duokuohuo. He’s an elder, and I want to ask him for advice.”

When talking about Dohoku, Shulido’s expression became noticeably serious. He nodded silently and said nothing more.

……

After the news was exposed, the court accelerated its military preparations again and began to operate like a war machine.

After dragging on for more than a year, they finally got a chance to catch their breath. After more than two years of training, the Imperial Guards have become quite capable. They are not just rookies, but a mix of new and old soldiers. As long as they can survive one or two major battles, they become veterans.

Moreover, over the past year, Su Ming has been continuously sending out imperial troops to crack down on local bandits and thieves, and has accumulated a lot of experience.
