I am the Tao of bad people

When Shen Feng came to Raojiang alone, he rode at full speed, changing horses but not people, which delayed all the follow-up measures for quite some time.

But what he didn't expect was that the army that came to garrison in Raojiang came faster than Shen Feng had imagined. Just a few days after the Twelve Caves made their plan, he saw several familiar people.

What’s even more interesting is that the news these people brought made Shen Feng realize what it means that you never know which one will arrive first, accident or happiness.

Shen Feng is a person who is very strict in his plans, which can make him feel unexpected things. With his temperament, it is inevitable that there will be surprises.

"Are you talking about Cao Yijin of Shazhou? His envoys to the Tang Dynasty have already arrived in Luoyang!"

Shen Feng stared at Miao Chengtian, who looked exhausted. As his voice gradually rose, his thoughts were already storming in his brain.

As her career gradually became successful, Miao Chengtian was very happy. She explained softly, "It's like this. When the news of our capital Chang'an spread, the Guiyi Army in Shazhou were all excited about the revival of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the person in power in Shazhou was Cao Yijin, who was the grandson-in-law of the prime minister Zhang Yichao. He had long been fascinated by our Tang Dynasty, so he sent envoys to Chang'an to pay homage."

"Shi Yao met him in Chang'an, but the matter was serious and Shi Yao did not dare to make a decision on his own. The envoy also emphasized that he must meet the Buliang Marshal, or at worst, the King of Qi. Shi Yao sent someone to escort him to Luoyang, but unfortunately the Marshal also had plans in Raojiang, and due to a series of mistakes, the envoy was one day late and could not catch up."

"After meeting him, King Qi settled him in Luoyang and informed him of all the events in Shazhou, and entrusted us sisters to report the news to the commander-in-chief."

At this point, Xuan Jingtian, who was always following Miao Chengtian, also said, "When my sister and I led the people from Huanyinfang through Shu, we learned that the commander had already ordered the Shu army to enter Rao, so we just took a ride and followed along."

"Cao Yijin Cao Yijin."

After hearing these words, Shen Feng chewed on the name, and then recalled the history books, he understood everything: "I actually forgot about him."

If it were in the official history without any changes, the Tang Dynasty that Cao Yi Jin paid homage to should be Emperor Zhuangzong of Tang, Li Cunxu.

Looking back on this person’s life, it can be summed up in one sentence: It doesn’t matter who is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but I must be a minister of the Tang Dynasty!

Although Li Cunxu's political acumen was very poor, he was really a good fighter in the official history. He brought back a lot of glory for the Tang Dynasty, so it was understandable that Cao Yi Jin surrendered.

Until Li Siyuan plotted against Li Cunxu and came to power, the Khitan power became increasingly powerful. Cao Yijin was completely disappointed with the political situation in the Tang Dynasty, so he proclaimed himself king to satisfy his desire, but died of illness a few years later.

Even so, he was still a nominal vassal king of the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of the Guiyi Army, Shen Feng recalled Zhang Yichao, a powerful figure in the Tang Dynasty.

After the An-Shi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty lost the entire Hexi Corridor, and the Tubo took the opportunity to betray the alliance and conquer it.

However, Zhang Yichao formed an army by himself, won over many Helong families to his own use, took advantage of the civil strife among the Tubo forces to revolt, and eventually recovered the Hexi Corridor and all eleven states in Hexi.

But how can a man defeat nature if he only has a hundred years?

After Zhang Yichao's brother Zhang Yitan died in the Tang Dynasty, the 69-year-old Zhang Yichao entered the Tang Dynasty to show his loyalty. He died at the age of 74.

Afterwards, conflicts arose within the Zhang family, and they plotted against each other. At that time, the Tang Dynasty not only had no spare energy to help the Guiyi Army, but also was suspicious of its ability to break away from the Tubo forces, and thus secretly suppressed it, causing the allies within the Guiyi Army to rebel again.

As time passed, after Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty and Cao Yijin came to power, the Guiyi Army only had the two states of Guasha left.

Although Cao Yijin was Zhang Yichao's grandson-in-law and had considerable abilities and had inherited much of the Zhang family's political power, it was a pity that he was born at the wrong time and was powerless to reverse the situation, and could only barely stabilize the situation.

At the end of the official history, the Tang Dynasty was gone, but the Guiyi Army was still there. The Cao family managed for several generations, but was eventually destroyed by the Western Xia.

It was not until several hundred years later that the Hexi Corridor was recovered by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Get the map!"

Thinking of more, Shen Feng gave a direct order. Miao Chengtian was also well prepared. She took out the Hexi map marked by Song Yunji from her arms and spread it on Shen Feng's desk. The map still had her body temperature.

This was a rubbing of the map of eleven states that Zhang Yitan brought with him when he entered the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty had lost its territory for decades and had long lost its impression of Hexi. This was also the last memory of that era.

Shen Feng raised his eyes slightly, watching Miao Chengtian approaching. He had a thought, and said in a low voice, "No. This matter is of great importance. According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, King Qi should have sent the bad guys to deliver the letter. Why did he let you come?"

As soon as Shen Feng finished speaking.

Miao Chengtian's body stiffened slightly. She didn't dare to look at Shen Feng. She just lowered her head and said nothing.

Shen Feng slightly tilted his eyes, and Xuan Jingtian behind Miao Chengtian buried his head in his chest.

Seeing their reactions, even though they were thousands of miles apart, Shen Feng could see through Song Yunji's little thoughts at a glance.

"I see. She wants you two to sleep with her, right?"

Shen Feng spoke directly and the two sisters dared not to look up.

As early as in Luoyang, when Shen Feng used his own Gangzi's internal force to fight against three people alone and beat Li Siyuan into a drowning dog, Song Yunji knew his reaction after using the internal force transition. At that time, Song Yunji suffered a lot.

This is for stretching purposes only.

But what about facing the mighty army of the God of War in Raojiang?
This level of internal energy consumption is a different matter.

Song Yunji knew that her Chi Meng was still a virgin and couldn't handle a man at all, but she couldn't let that bastard get hurt. Instead of letting him mess around outside, it would be better to give him two sisters who knew him well and would not affect her status at all. This would not only make a good deal but also avoid potential risks. It was like killing two birds with one stone, wasn't it wonderful?

Shen Feng knew all about her little thoughts and chuckled in his heart.

Wait for me.

You silly girl, wait for me to come back and I will let you know what it means that a king’s heart is unpredictable.

"No problem. If you want to sleep with me, just say it openly. If you don't say it, how can I know what you are going to do? It was just a joke in Huanyinfang back then, but I didn't expect that you two would really be given as dowry. Are you tired from the journey? Go and wash yourself."

Shen Feng waved his hand casually, signaling them to get out.

Girls of this era are too thin-skinned, and Shen Feng's words are too direct, so they don't know what to do except blush.

After Miao Chengtian and the other man chose a way to escape, Shen Feng lowered his head and began to study the map on the table.

"Longyou, Hexi."

"Guazhou, Shazhou, Yizhou, Xizhou, Gansu, Lanzhou, Shanzhou, Hezhou, Minzhou, and Kuozhou. Of the eleven states of the Guiyi Army, only Guazhou and Shazhou are left."

"But the Guiyi Army has been operating in Hexi for nearly a hundred years. I can intervene with just my name. Moreover, if we still have two states in our hands, then this is the right time!"

"Decades ago, this place was under the influence of Tubo, but the remaining glory of the Tang Dynasty had already conquered Tubo, and Tubo is dead!"

"At this time and place, apart from the remnant forces of Tubo, only the Umo tribe and Ganzhou Uighurs are capable of fighting. If I raise troops from Chang'an and Chengdu, with Cao Yijin as the internal support, and take the opportunity to recapture the Hexi Corridor, I can divide my troops from Hexi during the decisive battle with Mobei, bypass the grassland, and attack directly from behind!"

"Great!" (End of this chapter)
