Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

After Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wugou arrived, Zhu Yuyan threw Changsun Wuji to Yang Zhao, and instead took Changsun Wugou as her apprentice, keeping her away from Yang Zhao.

It's a pity that the method to eliminate Changsun Wugou's disease and stimulate his physical condition was taken away from me.

Why shouldn't I be able to get close to that little beauty who will be remembered through the ages?

Throwing a rough guy over here, what does that mean?

In Fengming Pavilion, Yang Zhao rested his head on Jingwei's long legs, drinking sake and watching dance and music in a depressed mood.

On the contrary, it was Changsun Wuji, after gaining power from Yang Zhao and the Demon Sect, with the help of young men from the Yuan clan, the Dugu clan and other families, he quickly became engaged in a fierce battle with various aristocratic families in Daxing City.

In fact, when Changsun Wuji arrived at Fengming Pavilion and saw Yang Zhao, he already understood Zhu Yuyan's tactics.

However, ever since Changsun Wuji and his sister walked out of Gao Shilian's mansion, they had no way back.

Moreover, although Zhu Yuyan used some tricks, there was not a single lie in her words, and she treated Changsun Wuji and his sister very kindly.

So Changsun Wuji hesitated for a while before taking the initiative to join Yang Zhao's army.

Compared to developing power in the Demon Sect, there are intrigues in the martial arts world.

Changsun Wuji hopes to develop in the court, rebuild the former glory of the Changsun family, and better realize his ambitions.

Undoubtedly, Yang Zhao, the big boss behind the entire Demon Sect, is the more suitable person for him to be loyal to.

have to say.

People like Changsun Wuji are born to be in the court and deal with aristocratic families.

Within a few days of joining Yang Zhao's team, even though Yang Zhao only showed up a few times, Changsun Wuji had already taken advantage of the situation and built a preliminary network of contacts among the aristocratic families in Daxing City.

The song ended with Shang Xiufang's performance.

A prosperous scene of singing and dancing came to an end, and groups of young men from wealthy families either became the lovers of some brothel girl, or walked out in groups of three or four, arm in arm.

When the noise died down, Changsun Wuji and Shang Xiufang, one in front and one behind, quickly arrived at Yang Zhao's exclusive room on the second floor.

"Your Highness!"

"Well, Master Shang, you have worked hard. You can take a rest in the backyard. Or you can discuss some music with Master Shi."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The two of them exchanged a few brief words, and Shang Xiufang quickly left the room and went back to the backyard.

Within a few days, the compensation given by the Li family has arrived.

In addition to the heads and wealth of the entire Taiyuan Chai family, the Li family also took out the entire Daxing City's industry and handed it all over to Yang Zhao. Even Shang Xiufang and the Shang family were sent to Fengming Pavilion.

A woman, no matter how famous she is.

In the eyes of those aristocratic families, they are ultimately just tools that can be discarded at any time.

Mrs. Dou’s birthday party before.

Yang Zhao exposed his own martial saint cultivation, which shocked the entire Daxing City. He also exposed many of the Li Clan's plans in front of the high-ranking officials behind the scenes, catching the other party off guard.

As the chaotic times had not yet arrived, the Li family could only lick their wounds in silence and did not dare to really fight with Yang Zhao.

And Shang Xiufang is just a chess piece used to paralyze and ease the situation.

Yang Zhao is a passionate and philandering person, but he is not lustful.

After Shang Xiufang was sent to Fengming Pavilion, Yang Zhao did not treat her as a tool or chess piece. Instead, he led her to Shi Qingxuan and treated her with courtesy. He then used Shang Xiufang's fame to attract many children from aristocratic families to come to Fengming Pavilion.

Even though Yang Zhao has the support of the Yuan and Dugu clans, his influence is ultimately shallow among these aristocratic families.

Shang Xiufang's arrival was a supplement that could help Yang Zhao's reputation spread quickly among the younger generations of many aristocratic families.

Only after Shang Xiufang left did Changsun Wuji enter the room.

When Yang Zhao saw Changsun Wuji coming, he straightened his body slightly and said, "Brother Wuji, please take a seat quickly. Zhaoyi has said many times that there should be no strangers between you and me."

Yang Zhao's posture was very appropriate.

If Changsun Wuji didn't know that Yang Zhao was thinking about his sister, he would probably feel a little moved.

For now, forget about being touched.

Zhang Sun Wuji bowed very sincerely and said, "Your Highness, after a period of testing, I found that among these many aristocratic families, there are not many who recognize Your Highness."

"The Guanzhong Yuan Clan and the Dugu Clan are your royal family's relatives, and most of the Guanlong groups such as the Jingzhao Wei Clan and the Yin Clan are also neutral. The Guandong families such as the Boling Cui Clan, the Qinghe Cui Clan, the Fanyang Lu Clan, and the Rongyang Zheng Clan are mostly resentful and ostracizing your royal family."

"At this stage, there are not many people in the court that we can win over, and in this Daxing City, Your Highness is like a dragon trapped in shallow water. You need to find a base before you can achieve anything."

Changsun Wuji has great strategy and outstanding vision.

Yang Zhao also agreed with his analysis and nodded, saying, "The Guanlong Group received a lot of favors from my grandfather in the past, and even worse, Yang Guang is jealous. It is normal for them to accept us participating in the human struggle for the dragon. Once we make some achievements in the future, these people will come closer to us."

"As for those Guandong noble families, ah, they are a bunch of corrupt people. They had the upper hand in Yang Guang's fight for the throne in the past, and with the dominance of Dongdu, they naturally excluded us."

"Brother Wuji, where do you think we should take our first step?"

Now it is getting closer to the end of the year.

In the Liaodong area, the imperial court's million-strong army and two to two million civilians have already gathered. They will lead their troops to attack Goguryeo in the early spring of next year.

As the initiator of chaos in the world, Yang Zhao naturally had to start choosing a base.

At that time, Yang Zhao will become the target of public criticism.

Perhaps those aristocratic families would accept Yang Zhao's existence because of this, but it would also arouse Yang Guang's boundless hatred, and he might even send a large army to attack.

Yang Zhao didn't care about this.

What Yang Zhao could not tolerate even more was that Yang Guang would be defeated three times in a row at the gates of Goryeo, and millions of Sui people died in Liaodong.

That would cause the entire Sui Dynasty's people's hearts and prestige to be destroyed.

It would be better for me to stir up unrest in the Sui Dynasty, so that I can also make use of my title as the grandson of the Sui Dynasty emperor to bring him great value.

In this way, choosing the right foundation for the game with Yang Guang became the most important thing.

Chapter 378 Planning Guanzhong

A huge map of the Sui Dynasty was spread across the private room on the second floor of Fengming Pavilion.

While discussing serious matters, Yang Zhao did not linger on Jingwei, but sat upright, which was extremely rare, holding a cup of tea, and quietly watched Zhangsun Wuji's performance.

Changsun Wuji also knew that this was a test from Yang Zhao.

Humanitarian competition and situation analysis require extremely unique and wise strategic vision.

Chang Sun Wuji stared at the map for a full stick of incense before he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, our first choice for a base should be the Longxi area, and the second choice should be the Hanzhong Sichuan area."

Yang Zhao's expression remained unchanged. He took a sip of tea and said, "What do you mean?"

Chang Sun Wuji's eyes quickly became firm, and he said, "In the battle of the dragons, when many aristocratic families are unable to show their strength, the most important thing is a sufficiently strong military force."

"The people of Longxi are tough and far away from the conflicts in the Central Plains. The Silk Road brings a lot of wealth, and there are also the advantages of grassland war horses. With the wealth and the strength of the army, with a little preparation, they can form a powerful army capable of conquering the world."

"In addition, Longxi is easy to defend but difficult to attack. You can attack eastward to seize the prime location of Chang'an, or you can attack the granary of Hanzhong southward. When Your Highness becomes powerful, the Guanlong Group will also move closer to Your Highness. By occupying Hedong, Hangu Pass, Wugu Pass and other places, you can achieve the goal of half-powerful Qin."

"Starting from Longxi, the only things we need to worry about are the insurgents in the Western Regions and the Turks in the north."

"The rioters in the Western Regions are nothing to be afraid of, but the Turks in the north have been divided into the east and the west after Pei Ju's division and my father's repeated alienation. As long as we make friends with those far away and attack those near, we can contain them."

After he finished speaking, Changsun Wuji's forehead was covered with sweat, and he drank two cups of tea in one breath.

This is the best way that Changsun Wuji could come up with with Yang Zhao's identity as the core.

It has to be said that the other party's talent was somewhat beyond Yang Zhao's expectations.

According to some of Yang Zhao's memories, his biggest impression of Changsun Wuji was that he was a scheming old man, good at court fighting, had a good sister, and so on.

However, I never thought that Changsun Wuji's strategy was quite impressive.

"It's a good plan. At your age, you have such a vision. You are also a first-class talent of the younger generation."

Just as Changsun Wuji was waiting for Yang Zhao to speak, a tall figure suddenly appeared in the room.

The person who came was Shi Zhixuan who had disappeared for some time.

Shi Zhixuan once used the pseudonym Pei Ju, and he also made great achievements in the court.

Therefore, Shi Zhixuan is qualified to evaluate Changsun Wuji.

See Shi Zhixuan's arrival.

Yang Zhao also chuckled and said, "Brother Wuji, don't be on guard. This is the Evil King Shi Zhixuan, who also used the pseudonym Pei Ju. He is one of us. Brother Wuji should be proud of himself for being praised by the Evil King."

After hearing Yang Zhao’s introduction, Changsun Wuji was also amazed.

Then, Changsun Wuji bowed humbly and said, "Junior Changsun Wuji greets the Evil King."

Shi Zhixuan looked at Changsun Wuji and sighed, saying, "If Changsun Sheng knew that he had a son like this, he would rest in peace."

"I used to have some friendship with your father, but you are not as polite as me."

"As for your plan, it is quite similar to my opinion. However, you overlooked one point. When His Highness was rising to power, the only base he chose was Guanzhong and Daxing City."

"Your Highness's father was the eldest prince of the former Sui Dynasty. This fight for the throne is not a grassroots uprising, but an effort to restore order and rebuild the Sui Dynasty. As long as we occupy the Daxing City in Guanzhong, we can compete with Yang Guang for two days."

"By then, all those who are dissatisfied with Yang Guang in the entire Sui Dynasty will surely gather under your command. At the same time, you can also suppress ambitious people such as the Li Clan, the Yuwen Clan, and the Xiao Clan, making it difficult for them to gain power in a short period of time."

"As for the subsequent plan, maybe we can do as you said, first conquer Longxi, then conquer Hanzhong, and use the power of half of the powerful Qin to resist the Li clan in the north and Yang Guang in the east."

After hearing what Shi Zhixuan said, Changsun Wuji frowned.

There is no doubt that Shi Zhixuan's planning and layout are much more sophisticated than Changsun Wuji's. It can be said that he has brought Yang Zhao's own advantages to the extreme.

But there is only one thing, which is a fatal flaw.

Changsun Wuji quickly spoke up and said, "Yang went to Guangdong to fight, and appointed Dai Wang Yang You as the governor of Daxing. He was assisted by experienced people such as Yin Shishi, Wei Yuanzhao, Song Laosheng, and Qu Tutong. The Right Guard of 100,000 soldiers was stationed in Guanzhong."

"It would be almost impossible for us to take over Guanzhong and Daxing City out of thin air."

Attack Daxing City and occupy Guanzhong.

This is not something that can be accomplished just by talking. It requires a sufficiently strong army, brave generals, and good ministers who can stabilize the situation.

A single Demon Sect is enough to monitor Guanzhong and suppress the martial arts world.

But if it is used to fight wars or govern the world, it would be impossible.

Shi Zhixuan saw that Changsun Wuji was not fooled by his words, and he admired him even more. He then looked at Yang Zhao and said, "Your Highness, we have already told you all our plans. If Your Highness has any background, you can already reveal some of them now."

Shi Zhixuan couldn't see through Yang Zhao.

But years of experience have made Shi Zhixuan never underestimate Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao smiled and said, "What kind of background is that? I just arranged a large Snow Dragon Cavalry of 100,000 people a while ago. With the help of Yinkui Sect and Mieqing Dao, I split them up and scattered them into the Western Regions. Now, I think the Longxi area should be pacified soon."

"Don't worry, wait until the beginning of next spring, when Yang Guang goes to war with Goryeo in Liaodong. When the time is right, I will call the Snow Dragon Riders to visit Guanzhong."

An army of 100,000 was sent to pacify Longxi.

Yang Zhao's words were very light-hearted, but they made Shi Zhixuan and Changsun Wuji gasp.

It would have been fine if it was Changsun Wuji, as his understanding of Yang Zhao was still very one-sided. He only knew that Yang Zhao had some influence in the Song Dynasty, but he did not expect that Yang Zhao directly brought together a large Snow Dragon Cavalry of 100,000 people.

Even Shi Zhixuan, who had made sufficient preparations long ago, was frightened by Yang Zhao.

After they recovered, the two looked at Yang Zhao with awe in their eyes.

You know, Yang Zhao had already sent 100,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry to Longxi and the Western Regions long ago. This method, scheming, and strategy were far beyond the two people's imagination.

Shi Zhixuan began to have some confidence in Yang Zhao's chances of winning the dragon competition.

Chang Sun Wuji was even more excited, thinking that he should go to his sister's place more often.

Chapter 379: The Evil King is in seclusion, Changsun Wuji offers his sister

After discussing the start of next spring, Yang Zhao quickly looked at Shi Zhixuan again.

After not seeing each other for a while, Shi Zhixuan obviously looked much better.

Yang Zhao personally poured tea for Shi Zhixuan and the other man, and then said, "Evil King, I haven't seen you for a while. I wonder how the intelligence network in the Great Sui is being arranged now?"

Shi Zhixuan sipped his tea and said confidently, "Your Highness is wealthy and has enough gold and silver to support you. You also have the foundation of the Demon Sect and the Six Bats Hall. This will be easy to accomplish. Now in the Great Sui Dynasty, all towns with a population of more than 100,000 have intelligence bases."

"The Guanzhong area, Hanzhong Sichuan area, Lingnan area, and Hongnong area have all been quite effective. Not only have they been able to bring a large amount of information to Your Highness, but they can also gather a group of capable assassination troops at any time."

"But we still have some influence in Bingzhou, Jizhou, Bohai, Liaodong, Luoyang, Lianghuai, Jiangnan and other places. Even if we have gold and silver, we can only bribe some ruffians and collect some intelligence information. We are powerless to deal with things that are too in-depth."
