The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 245 The Sui Dynasty is about to end

Needless to say, the hatred was great. Besides Ba Shiba, the two most important martial arts masters of the Ming Dynasty, one was killed and the other was seriously injured.

Of course, there are still some martial arts masters at the grandmaster level in the Mongol Yuan Dynasty today.

But compared with Pang Ban and Meng Chixing, it is far behind.

Compared with the endless stream of powerful people in the Ming Dynasty, it is also incomparable.

I am envious, of course I envy the Ming Dynasty for its profound heritage and many strong people.

As the Mongols’ biggest enemy, the Mongol leaders kept a close eye on any major events that happened in the Ming Dynasty.

The new armies of the Ming Dynasty have not yet fought, so we don’t know how strong they are.

However, the Mongol high-ranking officials had absolute confidence that they were definitely not as good as the Mongol cavalry and could easily destroy them.

Even the Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry, which they had to admit was terrifying, they were not afraid of it either. The Qiexue Army was invincible in the world.

Only in the Ming Kingdom, the appearance of strong men one after another made them feel the pressure increasing day by day.

The same is true for Temujin.

It seemed that it was really the appearance of Zhu Houzhao that boosted the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty, causing the number of masters in the Ming court to increase at an incredible rate.

"We can't give Ming any more time to grow stronger."

Temujin said this firmly once again in his heart.

He shifted his gaze and looked at the Sui Dynasty, then at the Jin Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, with countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

Northern Sui Dynasty.

With the arrival of Li Chimei, the undercurrents between several grassland countries became more turbulent.

It was as if two big hands were playing and stirring things up.

Of course, it’s definitely not just these two big hands. There are countless spies from all over the world.

For a time, without the knowledge of the middle and lower classes of the countries in the world, the Eastern and Western Turkic grassland countries located to the north of the Sui Dynasty became the focus of attention of many major countries.

Sui Dynasty.

"Pei Ju sent back information that the Mongols had sent people to cause trouble, and some people in those grassland countries had other ideas.

I'm afraid the Mongols promised them huge benefits.

He was not absolutely sure that he could unite all these grassland countries to fight against the Mongols.

I suggest that my third personal expedition can be postponed to next year.

Humph, I have already prepared for the expedition. It is absolutely impossible for you to postpone it to next year." Yang Guang said coldly with a gloomy face.

"This old minister does not recommend any further delay. The longer we delay, the weaker the power we can exert will be." The only important minister of the Sui Dynasty present, King Kaoshan Yang Lin, said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Yang Guang nodded, and then said without question: "Send an order to Pei Ju, asking him to unite the grassland countries to fight against the Mongols."

After a pause, he added: "I will give him more power, as long as he can do it, at any cost."

"Yes." Someone answered in secret.

"Uncle Wang, we can't wait any longer, let's go to war right away.

This time, we will never fail again." Yang Guang took a deep breath and said seriously.

"Yes." Yang Lin saluted and replied.

On May 10, Yang Guang officially issued an order to personally lead an expedition against Goguryeo for the third time.

The Sui State, which had been preparing for more than a year, acted very quickly.

At the same time, there was resentment everywhere in the Sui territory.

All the countries in the world were in an uproar.

Even those who had long since discovered that Yang Guang was likely to lead a third expedition in person could not help but feel a wave of disbelief when it actually happened.

It is not incredible that Yang Guang would lead the army for the third time.

After all, at this point, Yang Guang actually didn't have many choices. Should he wait to die on the spot or choose to fight hard?
This decision was not unexpected to them.

What really surprised them was that almost none of them believed that Yang Guang could succeed.

So what even if they succeeded in destroying Goguryeo?

If one wants to prolong the life of the Sui Dynasty through military merit, it is no longer enough to just destroy Goguryeo.

We still need greater military results and merits.

What's more, there are two of the most powerful evil tigers in the world, watching covetously. The Sui Dynasty has no hope of success.

Not to mention what happened afterwards, the Mongols alone helped Goguryeo repel two attacks from the Sui Dynasty.

This time, there is an 80% chance that they will not sit idly by.

And if the Sui Dynasty failed for the third time, it would really be over.

There won't be any more chances.

How long has it been?

Less than ten years ago, the Sui Dynasty was the most powerful empire among all the Han Chinese countries in the world.

In the blink of an eye, it is about to perish.

This made many people feel incredible and dazed.

Meng Yuan.

When Temujin received the news, he smiled.

"It's just right that Yang Guang is seeking death so early." After laughing a few times, Temujin invited Bashiba.

He said directly: "The Imperial Master, Yang Guang personally led the expedition to Goguryeo for the third time. Even if he destroyed Goguryeo, he would only be able to take a few more breaths, but we cannot give him any chance.

The magic master is in seclusion now, so I'd like you to go there in person.

I will send a message to those two. If...
Although those two people are not trustworthy, they definitely do not want to see Ming Dynasty dominate the world, but it must be true, so they will not refuse. "

Bashiba didn't say much and went towards Goguryeo.

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao habitually cursed Yang Guang a few times, but after hearing the explanations from the ministers, he realized that he had no good solution. He could only help Shi Zhixuan and promote the unification of the Eastern and Western Turks.

At the same time, he stepped up his contacts with various forces within the Sui territory.

···
At this moment, Yang Guang no longer cared about what anyone thought. He only knew that he must succeed this time.

He no longer had any room for retreat.

Having learned from the previous two lessons, this time, although Yang Guang was still the commander-in-chief of an army of hundreds of thousands, he no longer commanded it personally.

Instead, he handed over the command to King Yang Lin, and Qiu Rui, the only remaining one of the Nine Founding Elders besides Yang Lin.

This result also led to the rapid advance of the Sui army. Goguryeo, which had suffered equally heavy losses in the previous two wars and had a harder time recovering, was simply unable to resist.

It was not until late June that the Eighth Division appeared.

This battle made people all over the world once again understand the power of the realm of heaven and man.

Yang Lin and Qiu Rui led an army of 300,000 to besiege the city.

The two of them led an army of 300,000 troops, but they were still unable to defeat the Eighth Division and even fell into a disadvantage.

If Yuwen Chengdu had not broken through to the level of Grandmaster and led a hundred thousand brave soldiers to help, Yang Lin and the other two would probably have been defeated.

Even so, the Eighth Division retreated calmly.

The three great generals led an army of 400,000, including the Sui Dynasty's most elite 100,000 brave soldiers.

But he still couldn't do anything to the Eighth Division.

Of course, the Sui army also had big problems.

For example, after the two major defeats, most of the Sui army had no fighting spirit and morale.

For example, Qiu Rui has not had access to military power for a long time, making it difficult for him to unleash the true strength of the army.

For example, Yuwen Chengdu was a fierce general, but not a commander-in-chief, and it was difficult for him to exert the military power of a hundred thousand brave soldiers.

There are many more aspects.

But they couldn't cover it up, they couldn't do anything to the Eighth Division.

This was when the Eighth Division did not fight them to death.

In the following time, the Sui army attacked fiercely, but Goguryeo, with the help of the Eighth Division, held on.

The two sides started to argue.

Large numbers of soldiers died every day.

This battle completely attracted the attention of all countries in the world.

At the same time, in the north of the Sui Dynasty, there were increasingly undercurrents surrounding the unity of several grassland countries to resist the Mongol invasion.

Under the relatively calm surface, I don't know how many spies are fighting and gambling.

I don’t know how many senior executives are arguing about this.

In early July, something also happened in the Ming Kingdom.

After more than half a year of planning and investigation, under the leadership of Bai Fanghua, the saint of the Tianming Sect, the factory guards arrested the top leaders of the Tianming Sect in one fell swoop.

Among them was Shan Ruyu, the leader of the Tianming Sect who had already broken through to the Grand Master level.

Once the top management has laid the foundation, the rest will be easy.

Especially with Bai Fanghua's identity and the support of the giant imperial court, Bai Fanghua quickly gained control of the Tianming Sect.

For Zhu Houzhao, this matter was actually just a trivial matter.

If it didn't involve Bai Fanghua, it wouldn't be worth his personal attention.

After paying attention to this incident, Zhu Houzhao gradually withdrew most of his attention.

Even the fighting between Sui, Goguryeo and Bashiba could not attract much of his attention.

Although he had thought about whether he should let Old Man Zhang and Old Monk Wuji take action together and take the opportunity to kill that Eighth Master Ba?
Later, he gave up the idea.

Because Meng Yuan and Ba Siba were definitely not fools. Having experienced being hunted down once, Meng Yuan and Ba Siba would definitely not fail to think of the possibility that the Ming Dynasty would take action again.

The Eighth Division still took action, obviously ready.

Even if Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji acted together, the possibility of success would probably not be very high.

After thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao gave up the idea.

The biggest reason why he gave up the idea and focused his attention so easily was that after more than half a year of practice, he was finally about to break through.

The time came to July 22nd.

Tai Chi Thirteen Forms Fourth Level (68606/90000)

The fourth level of Mingshen Wudian (not yet started: 49995/50000)

After another storm and a night of practice, Zhu Houzhao looked towards Tianfu as usual, revealing an expectant, happy and proud smile.

Finally a breakthrough.

After putting on his clothes, Zhu Houzhao looked at Qin Mengyao beside him and laughed, "Mengyao, I may not come to accompany you tonight."

"If your majesty has important matters, don't worry about Mengyao." Qin Mengyao said softly, and smoothed Zhu Houzhao's collar with her bare hands.

"Haha, I'm about to make a breakthrough today. If you're fast, I'll come to you. If you're not fast, I won't come." Zhu Houzhao smiled happily without hiding anything.

Qin Mengyao was stunned, breakthrough~!

Then, even she was dazed and shocked.

I want to say that Zhu Houzhao has already strode away and is heading to Emperor Wu’s Dragon Cavalry Camp as usual.

As usual, he visited some departments of the court.

In the afternoon, Zhu Houzhao sent a message to Zheng Gong and made the final breakthrough in the Qianqing Palace.

When Duke Zheng hurried over, his heart, which had been calm for decades, was no longer calm.

There are all kinds of emotions in his eyes that cannot be concealed.
