Chapter 493 Succession
Wei Zhuang and Xie Chang'an integrated the Pingxi Army and the Dingguo Army into the Zhengxi Army, with Wei Zhuang as the commander-in-chief and Xie Chang'an as the deputy commander-in-chief. They marched towards the Turpan Khanate in a mighty force.
At the same time, the declaration of war from the Great Chu was also delivered to the Khan of Turpan.
When the Khan unfolded it, he was so angry that his hands shook.
The Great Chu made a huge demand, not only demanding a huge amount of compensation, but also requiring him to cede the two major areas of Turpan and Tarim, which was approximately equal to two-thirds of the territory of the Turpan Khanate!
If the Khan does not agree, the Chu Western Expedition Army will destroy the Turpan Khanate!
"The Great Chu is really going too far!" The Khan was so angry that he fell backwards.
Prime Minister Muhaner wiped his sweat and said, "Calm down, Khan. The Chu army is clearly coming to invade us! The army will arrive soon. Should we fight or make peace? Khan, please come up with a plan as soon as possible!"
The ministers also made their suggestions, some advocated war, some advocated peace, and each side held its own opinion and argued until they were red in the face.
The Khan roared, "If you keep arguing, the people of Da Chu will come to our door!"
A burly general stepped forward angrily: "Great Khan, Yesen is willing to lead the army to fight against the Chu State and avenge my brother!"
The general's name was Yesen, and he was the younger brother of the former commander Sayyid who was beheaded by Xie Changan.
A civil official was worried: "General Yesen is indeed brave and extraordinary, but it is said that Xie Chang'an is the reincarnation of the god of war. Even Marshal Sayyid was beheaded by him without anyone noticing. How can we mortals fight against gods? Please think twice, Khan!"
Yesen's eyes widened with anger: "If I stick my head out, I will be stabbed. If I hide my head, I will be stabbed too. Are we going to hand over our Khanate to the Chu Kingdom? Yesen would rather die on the battlefield than become a slave of a conquered nation!"
The Khan sighed: "Well said! I would rather die on the battlefield than become a slave of a conquered nation! The hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen in Turpan are all passionate men. How can we surrender without a fight?"
He immediately gave the seal of commander-in-chief to Yesen and ordered him to lead an army of 500,000 to the front line to fight against the Chu army.
After the Western Expedition Army set out, Yin Er led an army to guard Yumen Pass to prevent the Dzungar Khanate from taking advantage of the situation to rob.
Jiang Li also stayed in Yumen Pass temporarily to dispatch the Tianji Camp and help Yin Er keep an eye on the rear.
She is connected to Bai Xian through a contract.
"Bai Xian, where is your team?"
Baixian was originally a hedgehog. Although his clan was slow in movement, they had strong bodies and were also good at medicine and illusion.
People regard them as auspicious symbols that bring wealth and prevent disease. The Jurchen Kingdom even built many "White Temples" dedicated to the White Fairy.
After a long while, she heard Bai Xian's slow voice in her mind: "Little Fairy, we have entered the Turpan Royal City and are now scattered around the palace."
"The Khan of Turpan ordered Sayyid's brother Yesen to lead an army of 500,000 to fight against the Duke's troops."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Okay, you've worked hard. When my husband and the guard arrive at the border, you will meet up with them and discuss the next steps."
"I obey my orders!"
Jiang Li contacted Xie Changan again and informed him of this information.
When Wei Zhuang heard that the Turpan Khanate had dispatched an army of 500,000, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"My Lord, we only have 300,000 troops. Are we sure about this mission?"
Xie Changan smiled slightly: "We still have the Tianji Camp. Every brother in the Tianji Camp can fight against a hundred people. General Wei, don't worry."
Speaking of Tianjiying, Wei Zhuang looked up at the sky. A group of eagles led by General Ying Chengfeng were soaring above the army.
He thought of the time when the Turpan army attacked Yumen Pass, when the eagles defeated the Turpan cavalry in just one round and seriously injured the commander Sayid. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "The eagles led by General Eagle are so brave that they can really defeat a hundred people alone!"
Xie Changan smiled and said, "There is another team from the Tianji Camp. They have already entered the Turpan Royal City and are lurking around the Royal Palace."
Wei Zhuang was overjoyed: "This way we can cooperate inside and outside to capture the Khan of Turpan in one fell swoop!"
With the God of War on the scene, Prince Jing'an in command, and the unpredictable Tianji Camp helping him, if he cannot win this battle, Wei Zhuang will not be able to face the soldiers of the Pingxi Army.
Minjiang River.
It was already late at night, and a black boat was floating downstream.
Inside the cabin, a man in black was sitting cross-legged. On his jade-white face, he wore a half-mask. His lips were red and his teeth were white under the mask. He was undoubtedly a handsome man.
Kneeling before him was a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe and a red scarf, his face pale and trembling.
These two people are none other than Nan Xi, the leader of the Jiulian Sect, and Chen Lie, the red-headed wizard of the Lushan Sect!
Of course, this “Chen Lie” is no longer the same “Chen Lie”.
Nan Xi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an evil smile: "I have finally replaced your body, and helped you find the secret treasure of Lushan Sect, Minshan, so that you can become the head of Lushan Sect."
"I have arranged everything for you, but I didn't expect that you can't even handle the Lushan Sect. What use do I have for you?"
“Chen Lie” burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly: “My Lord, please forgive me! My Lord, please forgive me!”
"That Minshan is very strange. He can actually tell that Chen Lie has changed his mind. It doesn't recognize me, and there is nothing I can do!"
"I am willing to atone for my sins, Master, please grant my wish!"
"In this case, you will..."
Nan Xi showed a strange smile on her face and gave instructions to "Chen Lie" in person.
Lin Xuan was recognized by Minshan, which caused an uproar within the Lushan Sect.
The disciples of the Red-headed Master and the Black-headed Master were quarreling with each other.
The Red-Headed Mage believed that it was their Mage Chen Lie who found Minshan first. Although he failed to gain Minshan's recognition, he was the first person in the Lushan Sect to find Minshan in hundreds of years!
Lin Xuan simply followed the path he had paved with blood and finally found Minshan.
I don’t know what despicable means he used, but he managed to snatch Minshan from Master Chen Lie!
How could such a sinister and cunning villain become the leader of the Lushan Sect?
Master Wutou retorted, "Then why didn't Minshan recognize Master Chenlie? Who knows what shabby tricks he used to find Minshan first?"
"Minshan chose Master Lin Xuan for a reason. Do you doubt the forefather's vision?"
"That's right. The founders of our Lushan Sect are all upright and righteous people. They cannot tolerate any injustice. How could they recognize someone with evil intentions?"
"Who knows what shameful things your Master Chen Lie has done that would make the Grand Master disapprove of him."
"Don't spit bloody slander! You have no evidence, just speculation. Who has evil intentions?"
The red-headed wizard's disciples glared at each other, and the two sides were on the verge of a fight.
Lin Xuan said calmly: "There is no right or wrong in the matter, justice lies in the hearts of the people, why not ask Master Chen Lie to come out, I will confront him face to face."
The disciples of the Red Head Mage's faction were suddenly choked, because Chen Lie was missing!
After Lin Xuan returned to the sect with the mark of Minshan, Chen Lie disappeared without a trace.
"The whereabouts of Patriarch Chen Lie is currently unknown!"
A disciple stared at Lin Xuan with tears in his eyes, "Did you kill him?"
The disciple of Master Wutou immediately sneered: "You are slandering me and making groundless guesses!"
"Yes, yes, do you have any evidence?"
"You have no evidence to accuse Grandmaster Lin Xuan. This is an act of insubordination. You should be expelled from the sect!"
The disciples of the Red Head Mage were speechless.
In this way, Lin Xuan successfully ascended to the position of the head of Lushan and became the first head of Lushan to inherit the Taoist tradition in a hundred years.
When the news came out, Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain was the first to send someone to deliver a congratulatory letter, and all the Taoists were shocked.
A hundred years ago, the Lushan Sect was a Taoist sect that was as famous as the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Dao, and its Taoist magic was as powerful as that of the Longhu Mountain Sect.
Later, because the disciples were unable to open the ancestral altar in Minshan, the sect gradually declined. It seemed that the sect would be cut off and lost in the world.
Unexpectedly, this generation produced another genius who could actually find Minshan and gain recognition from Minshan!
It seems that the Lushan Sect is about to rise again!
The first announcement issued by Lin Xuan after he became the head of the sect surprised all the Taoists in the world!
He declared that the Red-Headed Mage Chen Lie had seduced with evil cultivators and harmed his fellow disciples, and therefore he was expelled from the sect!
This bombshell news caused an uproar among all the sects.
During the last demon-eliminating operation in the Ten Thousand Mountains, many disciples from various sects went missing. These disciples have not returned yet, which has caused a lot of speculation.
Some people speculated that these disciples had died at the hands of the Ten Thousand Mountain Monsters, while others said that they had heard rumors that these disciples’ disappearance was caused by evil cultivators.
At this time, the Lushan Sect claimed that Chen Lie had seduced with evil cultivators and murdered his fellow disciples. Various sects began to speculate whether the disappearance of the disciples was related to Chen Lie?
Rumors spread everywhere and people were in panic.
At this time, Zhang Tianshi promptly issued a notice for the Zhongyuan Festival Taoist Conference. He will thoroughly investigate the matter, announce the truth, and give an explanation to all Taoists in the world.
