The Blackwater Shaman had not paid a price for communicating with God time and time again in an attempt to see the future!
Up ahead, Wunu Shibi said no more, a solemn look in his eyes. The information on the Tang Dynasty's King of Foreign Lands had probably piled up into a small mountain in the hands of these people. The first half of his life was mediocre and lackluster, and the second half was a sudden awakening and astonishing advancement. Even now, many people were still deeply bewildered.
"Let's not talk about this matter. The Khagan asked me to ask you something. Can we tamper with the disarmament of two hundred thousand soldiers?" the Blackwater Shaman said.
"Does the Khagan believe that the Western Turks and the Tang dynasty are so far apart that even if we tamper with the disarmament, the Tang dynasty won't be able to see through it?"
Wunu Shibi put away his smile and sternly said.
The Blackwater Shaman nodded.
"Impossible!"
Wunu Shibi indifferently said, his answer clean and crisp.
"All of you are looking down on that Tang dynasty Confucian too much!"
As Wunu Shibi spoke, he slowly stood up from the smooth boulder he was sitting on. In that instant, the earth quaked and mountains swayed. There was even a series of metallic clangs that came from the golden Sun Battle Armor. When Wunu Shibi stood up straight, it was as if a giant had appeared in front of the round stone.
Wunu was two meters tall. Compared to the Blackwater Shaman beside him, he was a full head taller, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling.
"That Confucian might be too naive, but he's not simple. At the very least, he's not as simple as all of you imagine! He's the King of Foreign Lands who can suppress the Tang Dynasty, summon him back to the capital at his peak, and suppress the militarists. Do all of you really think that he can be so easily fooled? "
Wunu Shibi slowly said.
To everyone's surprise, Wunu Shibi's evaluation of Li Junxian was much higher than many people had imagined.
Hearing this, even the Blackwater Shaman's eyes flickered.
"The current Tang Dynasty has already reached its peak. No single side can contend against it. And if they really wanted to use the conflict between militarists and Confucians in the Tang dynasty to wear down the Tang dynasty, they couldn't afford to take any chances. At least at this stage, they must see the disarmament for themselves. "
Wunu said in dismay.
"I understand. Let's reply to Khan like this!"
The Blackwater Shaman nodded and quickly left.
…
At the same time, far away in Ouzan.
An endless gale blew from the north all the way to the south.
Ever since the Battle of Talas last year, in which Dalun Ruozan, Dusong Mangpoje, and Huoshu Huizang had died, the entire Ouzan was suffused with an oppressive aura, and even the sky was oppressive. At this moment, at the eastern edge of the Ouzan Highlands, several figures were standing on the edge of a cliff, looking at the endless land in front of them.
The robes of the three people at the very front fluttered in the wind. Their bodies exuded an aura of boundless power.
This person was dressed in an azure robe, and as he silently looked forward, his eyes shone with boundless wisdom.
"Hualala!"
As the three of them looked down at the Central Plains, they suddenly heard the flapping of wings. An eagle pierced through the clouds and split the sun, rapidly flying down from the northwest direction.
Swoosh!
In the next moment, an arm reached out and caught the eagle that was descending from the sky.
"Imperial Minister! It's a letter from the Western Turkic Khaganate of the northeast. Wunu Shibi's seal is on it! "
The fully-armored Ouzan warrior strode up to the Ouzan Imperial Minister, Dalon Trinling, and handed over the letter.
Although he was not yet fifty and was in the prime of his life, Dalon Trinling's face was weather-beaten. The deaths of two Great Generals and a Prime Minister had dealt an unimaginable blow to the empire. Even now, Dalon Trinling still had not recovered from that blow. Dalon Trinling only gave the letter a cursory glance before putting it away and placing it behind his back.
"Wunu Shibi has sent a letter. The Western Turks are withdrawing their army of two hundred thousand. All of you should prepare!"
Dalon Trinling's indifferent voice resounded in everyone's ears.
"Yes! Imperial Minister! "
The generals of the Yarlung Royal Lineage and Yaze Royal Lineage bowed.
In its several battles with the Tang dynasty, the Ouzan Empire had suffered grievous losses. The illustrious Ngari Royal Lineage had been completely wiped out, and the northern regions only had two Royal Lineages left. Even so, the entire Ouzan Empire was in danger of losing its talents. Standing at Dalon Trinling's side were mostly the younger disciples of the great clans like Dayan Ersongrong and Dari Nyetsai.
"Imperial Minister, a disarmament of one hundred and fifty thousand has never happened before. Can we really use that Confucian Child of Destiny to topple Wang Chong?"
Great General Namri Songtian of the Yarlung Royal Lineage said. As a Great General of the post- Ouzan era, Namri Songtian was one of the few remaining Great Generals of the plateau. The deaths of Dalun Ruozan and the others had been a massive blow to this Yarlung Royal Lineage Great General.
"If it can't be done, then we'll make it possible!"
Dalon Trinling coldly said as he looked forward.
If one looked carefully, one would realize that Dalon Trinling was looking at the lands to the east with a sharp expression.
"This is also the main reason we are cooperating with them this time."
For all the countries bordering the Tang Dynasty to simultaneously reduce their armies for the first time in history was unimaginable to any faction. Behind all of this, aside from the Confucian Sect and the Son of Heaven's Mandate, as well as the frequent discussions and negotiations, very few people knew that there was another person behind all of this.
Although this figure had not personally appeared, it was precisely the Imperial Minister of the Ouzan Empire who had contacted the other countries to facilitate this massive disarmament.
To take first, one had to first give! The daring required for this was not something an ordinary person could do.
"Your subordinate understands!"
Namri Songtian lowered his head, a look of respect on his face. In all of Ouzan, if there was anyone who could surpass the late Dalun Ruozan in intelligence, it was probably this Imperial Minister.
Only the Imperial Minister could avenge Dusong Mangpoje, Huoshu Huizang, and Dalun Ruozan who had died in battle.
This was the unshakable conviction of Namri Songtian and all the Ouzan soldiers.
"The time is ripe. The internal strife of the Tang Dynasty is the best chance for us to borrow a knife to kill someone and weaken the Tang Dynasty! But before that, we cannot let down our guard. Write a letter for me to warn all the countries that until the militarists of the Tang Dynasty are completely suppressed, no one should let down their guard. In addition, tell them to be careful of the King of Foreign Lands of the Tang Dynasty. "
Dalon Trinling sternly said.
Buzz! Namri Songtian's body trembled as if he had thought of something.
"Imperial Minister, what do you mean?"
"A man who fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, who defeated Dalun Ruozan, Abu Muslim, and Qutaybah in intelligence … do you really think that he will just resign himself to death?"
Dalon Trinling suddenly turned his head, his sharp and penetrating gaze piercing through the mind.
Namri Songtian's heart trembled, and a look of apprehension finally appeared on his face. He had always believed that Ouzan could stay out of this matter and watch from the sidelines, but now, he suddenly realized that he had been too simple-minded.
"Victory is still not over. If all goes as expected, the King of Foreign Lands of the Tang Dynasty is about to move. Tell them not to show any openings!"
With a single glance, Dalon Trinling turned his gaze to the east, to the majestic Big Dipper City at the end of the horizon.
The plateau quickly regained its calm, and with Dalon Trinling's order, the ancient plateau once more began to stir.
The disarmament had officially begun!
… …
A few moments later, with the flapping of wings, an eagle soared into the air, flying toward the northeast of the Tang Dynasty.
Other than the Western Regions, Youzhou in the northeast was probably the place where the Tang Dynasty had the most complicated situation. The Eastern Turkic Khaganate, the Goguryeo Empire, the Xi, and the Khitans were all gathered together in such a small place.
At this moment, in the city closest to the northeast corner of Youzhou, black war banners were flying over the walls. But few people noticed that there were a few yellow banners among these war banners.
Whoosh! A large eagle swooped down from the sky and quickly disappeared into Bisa City.
"Your Majesty! Ouzan has sent a letter. "
A few moments later, a black-armored soldier of the Goguryeo Empire with a large eagle perched on his shoulder appeared in the hall like a gust of wind. Across from him was a stalwart figure, exuding an enormous aura, sitting high above like a storm. His hands were pressed on the armchair, not moving an inch, but his bell-like eyes, when they opened and closed, gave people a feeling of thunder, like a lion or a tiger, causing people's hearts to tremble, and they were filled with reverence.
In all of the Goguryeo Empire, there was probably only one Goguryeo Emperor who possessed such might.
The six crossed sabers on his back were the best proof of this.
Yeon Gaesomun!
The most legendary figure of the Goguryeo Empire, a miracle born from the waters. From the moment of his birth, he had attracted the attention of countless people, and he had not let them down. He had become the supreme 'emperor' of the Goguryeo Empire. And his martial arts had reached a level that all Goguryeons could only look up to. Especially those six sabers. It was rumored that even now, no one had been able to make him draw all six Taiyuan Blades.
"Read!"
Yeon Gaesomun calmly said from his seat. There was not the slightest expression on that dignified face.
"Ouzan has come to report that Ouzan, the Western Turks, the Xi, and the Khitans are all reducing their armies. He hopes that Goguryeo will cooperate fully!"
