As the saying goes, war is the first step, and food and grass will take the lead. A battlefield decision is easy, but after making preparations, it takes time to prepare. The army mobilization, food and grass preparation, weapons, equipment, etc., each need to take time to prepare.

If one side fights, it is quite convenient, at least there will be no discount in command. But now it is a three-way army. Although Huo Xiangkong has Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, there is no reason to use their killing weapons such as fish that kills and kills the net. Moreover, the meaning of the Heavenly Court this time is to rely on the human race to solve it themselves.

Although it is a three-party cooperation, Yanhuang Kingdom is currently busy adapting to the world of cultivation, and domestic elite players have gathered in Jingwu Hall, so Yanhuang Kingdom can basically ignore this action.

Although Jingwutang has been working hard to develop and is far ahead of many player forces, if it fights a large-scale war, the comprehensive strength and experience of the Tang Dynasty are much stronger than Jingwutang. Therefore, when Li Shimin knew that when the great gods such as Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Guanyin and others did not participate in this war, Li Shimin began to have new ideas.

Soon an order was passed to the Tang Dynasty Expedition Command. Li Shimin wanted to personally expedition this time, and the person in charge of coordinating with Jingwu Hall received an order from Li Shimin, requiring that the command of the coalition forces must be obtained, among which Li Shimin's personal expedition was an important bargaining chip.

Li Shimin actually wanted to fight in person. The first idea of ​​several major officials of the Tang Dynasty who received the news was to stop Li Shimin. You must know that Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If something happened to him, wouldn’t the whole Tang Dynasty be over?

However, these people soon gave up the idea of ​​persuading them. How could they not know the temper of the monarch and minister Li Shimin who had been in so many years? Although Li Shimin is a wise ruler, they know very well that as long as it was decided by Li Shimin, they cannot change it. In addition, there is another reason why they did not go, that is, behind Li Shimin's failure to go.

As the founder of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin has always been the 95th Lord. Now the situation is chaotic. He, the 95th Lord, actually depends on the expression of others. How can this not make Li Shimin angry?

Those who are used to being kings are not willing to surrender to others. Although Li Shimin's personal expedition seems dangerous, it would be different if he can get the position of commander of the coalition army. As long as he wins this war and wins it in the hands of Li Shimin, Li Shimin's prestige will definitely surpass Huo Xiangkong. In addition, the comprehensive strength of the Tang Dynasty is already very strong. At that time, as long as he takes the opportunity to recruit a group of masters, he will not have to live in the shadow of those masters in the Xia Kingdom.

Although many people are not optimistic about Li Shimin this time, since Li Shimin insists on expeditioning in person, the ministers have to do their best. If Li Shimin can really get the position of the Emperor, then his own and his ministers will naturally rise.

Because of this, the Tang Dynasty did not let go of the main and secondary aspects at all. Even Wu Meiniang showed them some evidence of their corruption in private, and they still did not let go of this matter. However, Wu Meiniang still gained something. At least after threats, the person in charge of the negotiations in the Tang Dynasty said that he could help Wu Meiniang convince Li Shimin in other aspects.

That afternoon, Wu Meiniang went to the palace to see King Xia Huo Xiangkong. He reported the matter in detail. After reading the report, Huo Xiangkong looked up at Wu Meiniang and asked, "Li Shimin is unwilling to be just the King of Tang."

"I think Li Shimin cares too much about that reputation. The position of the Emperor of Humanity will eventually be obtained by strength. Even if they win this time, it doesn't mean anything. Mei Niang thinks that the lord might as well be like Li Shimin this time. With the evidence of corruption among the negotiators in our hands, we might as well use this matter to exchange for a deal." Wu Meiniang said.

"Oh? What deal?" Huo Xiangkong asked with interest after hearing this.

"Mei Niang feels that this matter is an opportunity to intervene in the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty. The lord can take the opportunity to ask for the supervision of the Tang Dynasty. If a large army of hundreds of tribes appeared in the Middle Land, General Huo Xiangkong has the wartime command power of the Tang Dynasty's army. In addition, he also has to give us the people of the Xia Kingdom the same treatment as the people of the Tang Dynasty. All commodities are the same as those of the Tang Dynasty. There is no need to pay tariffs or anything else. They should be treated the same as those of the Tang Dynasty..."

"In principle, I agree with this matter. You can do the specific things according to the actual situation. I will give you a chance to make a decision."

The four words of inspiration seem inconspicuous, but this made Wu Meiniang jump up happily. You should know that with this so-called inspiration, Wu Meiniang can almost make any decisions on behalf of Huo Xiangkong. In addition, people who can be authorized by the monarch to make decisions are generally trusted people.

Besides, Wu Meiniang jumped up like a little girl after receiving the promise of Huo Xiangkong. Before this was over, Wu Meiniang came to Huo Xiangkong, kissed Huo Xiangkong on the cheek, and said, "Mei Niang thanked the lord for your trust."

As he said that, Wu Meiniang wanted to leave and do it immediately, but Huo Xiangkong grabbed her jade hand, "Hmph, I've molested me, you just want to leave like this."

"Mei Niang just wants to thank her lord." Wu Meiniang said shyly.

"If you kiss me, then you have to let me kiss you."

"Hmph, I won't give it to you." Wu Meiniang snorted, then left as soon as she said she could go. Her speed was very fast. Huo Xiangkong couldn't help but feel depressed, "Does my face now have the words "I am a lust* wolf?"

In order to gain more benefits, Wu Meiniang went to see Li Shimin in person this time. Li Shimin had the experience of the last time and was pretending to be a big deal in his heart, so he was very polite to Wu Meiniang and had no idea of ​​deviating from the slightest.

"Your Majesty, the lord gave me the right to make a decision in this matter. I can decide whether to refuse or agree. What I just said is based on equivalent exchanges. Otherwise, with the current status of the Jingwu Hall, Xia Kingdom, why should I be Your Majesty's deputy? If we are willing, both Marshal Tianpeng and Monkey King can do this. However, in order to give the human race more opportunities to exercise, we are doing this. In addition, my lord has a strength in the Western Continent. Although they are not managed by us, they can still help Your Majesty when you are in a difficult situation."

"If this battle is won, Your Majesty's prestige will greatly increase, and what Your Majesty has lost is sooner or later the Tang Dynasty Yuxia Kingdom, which will be integrated. How to make a decision, Your Majesty think about it yourself."

Wu Meiniang's words made Li Shimin think deeply. At present, Wu Meiniang's requirements seem to be a little more, but from the current overall situation, not only will the Tang Dynasty Yuxia Kingdom be deeply merged in the future, but other countries may gradually be economically integrated. If they win, they will do this when they come back. Since they will do it sooner or later, why should someone worry about it now if they want to help them do it?

"I have agreed to this matter. You can discuss the detailed provisions with the Prime Minister and others." This kind of historical event that had a major impact happened like this.

In fact, the Prime Minister and others had been dealt with by Wu Meiniang. After obtaining a lot of evidence of corruption, Wu Meiniang did not blindly ask them to do anything. In fact, every time Wu Meiniang asked them to do things, there would be a lot of rewards, but sometimes there would be special gifts. For example, this time, Wu Meiniang found a young woman who had a love affair when she was young and gave it to the Prime Minister.

Her young body and her first love look, and there were some tricks on Wu Meiniang. After this period of dealing with her, the Prime Minister also knew that she had principles. Although she mastered those things, it was not just a blind threat.

In fact, this is actually Wu Meiniang's plan. If you ask too much and don't give others a favor, you will continue to corruption, and you will force others to be too late and you may go to confess your mistakes to Li Shimin. Wouldn't you lose an important piece by then?

Although this woman was given to the prime minister, she was kept in a house. Wu Meiniang valued her very much and had been carefully trained for several months before. She had basically learned the method of seducing men.

Those who can take the position of prime minister are undoubtedly high IQ, so if you want to charm such a man, you should not be too vulgar. Therefore, Wu Meiniang asked her to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting diligently. According to the agreement between Wu Meiniang and the prime minister, if Wu Meiniang's request was met this time, he would be able to have fun with her.

As the prime minister, I have never played any kind of woman, but I am so charming and powerful, and I am looking for someone who is the same as the prime minister's first love. Tonight, Wu Meiniang nominally invited the prime minister to come to her residence to discuss work, but in fact she was here to reward him. The reward is the woman the prime minister has been obsessed with in recent days.

In fact, the Prime Minister came today and was taken to the woman's boudoir before he even saw Wu Meiniang. "Sister Wu is coming later, so I'll let my family accompany you."

The girl in Qing*lou was naturally first-class in her ability to persuade her to drink. So soon the prime minister got a little drunk. The wine was already bold, and in order for the two of them to have fun tonight, Wu Meiniang specially put medicine in the wine.

Soon the two of them got together, but when they were preparing to fight with real swords and guns, the woman took out a camera (similar to a camera) and said, "Tonight is my first time in my family, and I want to record it."

The Prime Minister instinctively felt that this could not be done, but the woman put the camera on her back after she finished speaking, and then she made the sound of deliberately training to make a happy sound. Soon the Prime Minister became lost in it and couldn't extricate himself. No matter what consequences he had, he would be happy first.

The next day, the prime minister was still sleeping, and the woman had already gotten up, and then handed the photorepeater to Wu Meiniang. However, when she returned to the room, the prime minister had already woken up. Seeing him in, he asked with a bad look: "Where is that photorepeater?"

"I took it and hid it. How could I put such things casually?"

"You...ah, tell me honestly, did Wu Meiniang ask you to do that?"

"We just have some things to know in our minds, so why do we need to say them out." Although the person in front of us is a prime minister, in her eyes, she is just an ordinary man. After saying that, she pressed against him and said with a charming look: "Sister Wu is actually good. As long as she does everything she does, she will basically satisfy me. In fact, you should have known that Sister Wu introduced me to you to control you. Although I am a young building woman, I have never been touched by a man. If you treat me well, I am willing to be your first love substitute."

"How can she hand over the camera?" the prime minister said unwillingly.

"Behind Sister Wu is King Xia, and King Xia is even willing to be his subordinates of the Monkey King and Guanyin Bodhisattva. Sister Wu is the right-hand man of King Xia. In this situation, Sister Wu still has to control the Tang Dynasty by you. So as long as you are obedient and obedient, not only can you keep your wealth and honor, but you can also be happy with me often. The most important thing is that if you make great contributions, you may also be rewarded with some elixirs that prolong your life in the future. If you don't cooperate, I will not be able to play the task and I will be sent to pick up customers. Do you want me to be taken over by countless men?"

"Oh, that's fine."

"I want it again, let's do it again."

The beauty has a request, so she naturally has to obey it. The two of them are in a mess at the moment. Fortunately, the prime minister also practices. Although they can't get there just after reaching the Golden Elixir Stage, there is no problem if they come to the time of 70 or 80 times a day.

After the end, the two hugged each other Wen Cun, and the Prime Minister said, "Go and say goodbye to Wu Meiniang. I'll take you home."

"I won't go home with you."

"I am willing to be controlled for you, why don't you go home with me?"

"I'm going to your house. You should get tired of me after staying for about half a year. We have to keep a distance so that we can keep a fresh feeling." After that, the woman kissed the prime minister and smiled and pointed his nose. "From the future, we will meet once or twice a week, and every time we meet, I will bring Sister Wu's orders. As for you, you will hand over the important information of the Tang Dynasty to me every week. Do you know?"

As the saying goes, the word "sex" is a knife. The Prime Minister never expected that he would become a puppet of Wu Meiniang. The most tragic thing is that he actually liked this woman who had been calculating him from beginning to end, and wanted to be wise forever...

Regardless of the Prime Minister's grievances here, Wu Meiniang was finally able to control the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty after a series of planning. Soon a contract that was basically planned by Wu Meiniang was submitted to Li Shimin by the Prime Minister. Li Shimin just took a rough look and approved it quickly.

In May of the 14th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin officially reached an agreement with King Huo Xiangkong of Xia. This time, Emperor Taizong of Tang was personally in charge of the coalition forces. Huo Xiangkong was in charge of the Central Turkish army. Under Li Shimin's authorization, if a large army of hundreds of tribes appeared in Central Turkish, Huo Xiangkong would be responsible for the wartime military command. In addition, the Xia State and the Tang Dynasty would comprehensively deepen the economic and trade relations between the two sides. One of them was: the people of the Tang Dynasty or Xia State could use the other party's household registration certificate to enter and exit the other party's territory, and the people of both sides enjoy the other party's national treatment.

Among the many agreements, one is: the Tang Dynasty allowed the Jingwu Hall to recruit members within the Tang Dynasty. All members who joined the Jingwu Hall were considered to have joined the Xia Kingdom and become a Chinese from Xia.

In this case, when Li Shimin competed for the position of marshal, although Huo Xiangkong gave up voluntarily at the suggestion of Wu Meiniang, this incident also exposed one thing. In Pangu Tian, ​​the overall strength of NPCs is still much stronger than that of players. If Jingwutang or Xia Guo wants to truly develop, it must recruit a large number of excellent and talented NPCs.

In addition, the Jingwu Hall is developing very rapidly now. In almost every city in the Tang Dynasty, the Jingwu Hall is under the jurisdiction of the Jingwu Hall. After these developments, the seven major regions have also developed very well.

Regarding the positioning of the Jingwu Hall, Huo Xiangkong listened to the comprehensive suggestions of the senior management of the seven major districts of the Jingwu Hall, the person in charge of the Jingwu Hall, scholars related to the Yanhuang Kingdom, martial arts masters, etc., and finally decided to position the Jingwu Hall in the innate realm, that is, the Blood Refining Realm. Every time the Blood Refining Realm advances to the small realm, you can get rich rewards.

These rewards include money, martial arts, privileges and other aspects. What is most worthy of Huo Xiangkong's praise for today is the establishment of a system of honor and privilege. Every time you enter a small realm of the Blood Refining Realm, the difference between privileges is huge. If you show enough cultivation talent, you will be treated specially by the organization.

In addition to being reflected within the Jingwu Management, this kind of privilege is also shown outside the Jingwu Hall. The Jingwu Hall and Yanhuang Kingdom have jointly launched a series of life privileges, shopping privileges, etc., from shopping discounts to limited realm purchases, all aspects are showing the world of privilege.

If it were in the past, many people would have accused people of power, equality, etc., but in the era of invasion of hundreds of races, these are actually not really worthy of it. On the contrary, they are praised. In the words of an expert: Although they now show privileges in all aspects, if war occurs, they will go to the battlefield earlier than ordinary people.

This expedition will take the water route. In terms of the navy, although Zhu Bajie's navy has not been established for a long time, no country in the Middle Earth water dares to challenge Zhu Bajie. The former identity of Marshal Tianpeng made Zhu Bajie easily find many masters who were good at building warships. Some of these masters were dug by Zhu Bajie. More people know that Zhu Bajie wants a ship, so they give priority to Zhu Bajie. You must know that these ships are built completely at the level of immortal ships.

Although Marshal Tianpeng and Monkey King Qitian did not interfere, the Xia Navy was still carrying the burden of sea supplies this expedition. In addition, I also checked the warships. If there were any blind monsters along the way, they would dare to crash into the navy and practice their skills.
Chapter completed!
