Chapter 358 Emperor Fan
Days later, night.

Above the city gate of Tanzhou.

"Marshal, everything is ready." Holding a carved feather tied with a bamboo tube, Shi Yao walked quickly to Yuan Tiangang's side, and said in a low voice: "The news came from the scouts, and he found out the whereabouts of the Langzhou soldiers." The location is just to the northeast of Tanzhou." With that said, Shi Yao passed the note in his hand to Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang took the note, glanced at it, and shattered the note casually.

He said slowly: "Based on the current situation in Tanzhou, the state of Chu will surely perish."

"If you kill Ma Xifan, the commander-in-chief, can't you retreat from the enemy?" Shi Yao looked at Yuan Tiangang, puzzled.

Yuan Tiangang shook his head lightly, and said: "So many horses are fighting for the slot, so what if you kill one person? What's more, that person is not Ma Xifan at all! Now Chu has no leader, and there are internal and external troubles.

Shi Yao didn't say a word, but listened silently.

"This is not a good thing." Yuan Tiangang said: "Because behind the horse family's horses fighting for the slot, it is actually the tiger and wolf peeping."

"I understand. It's just the commander..." Shi Yao's words paused slightly, "We have made so many arrangements in Tanzhou, are we really going to hand over Chu State?"

"The country has no master, so what can I do?" Yuan Tiangang turned his head to look at Shi Yao.

Shi Yao replied: "Naturally, a country cannot be without an owner for a day."

Yuan Tiangang took a look at Shi Yao, and ordered in a low voice: "Go and bring His Majesty back to the Tang Kingdom, and inform the imperial court to prepare the army and prepare to enter Tanzhou along the west of the river."

"Yes!"

Shi Yao saluted Yuan Tiangang and was about to step back when suddenly the sky brightened.

boom!
A huge fireball suddenly fell from the sky and approached the city wall, reflecting the sky and the earth red in the dark night.

"Cannon again!" Shi Yao looked at this scene and exclaimed, "Could it be Li Cunxu again?"

"He's gone crazy!"

Yuan Tiangang did not expect this artillery raid.He flew back quickly, and went down the city gate in an instant.

The target of this artillery fire is the city gate!
At this time, the sky was filled with flames, and shells shot down across the sky.

After countless loud noises that shook the sky and the earth, a raging flame suddenly ignited in the direction of the city gate of Tanzhou, illuminating the sky and the earth in the dark night.

The fire intensified with the night wind, and the smoke fluttered with the wind.

After the soldiers in Tanzhou woke up from their sleep, they found that the city gate was in ruins, and even the city wall next to the city gate had been bombed and collapsed, and they suddenly became frightened.

At this time, countless torches and banners were suddenly raised not far from the city.

Under the night, the tumbling flag was illuminated by the fire, and the four characters "Fighting Crimes and Rebellions" were clearly written on the flag.

This is the army of the Langzhou army attacking Tanzhou at night!

Footsteps rumbled and shouts were deafening.Under the light of the fire, the blade of the weapon reflected the silver light, and it rushed towards the city gate in the night.

The city gate tower soon fell into chaos, and the few Tanzhou defenders rushed from the rear. The soldiers from both sides fought together, and blood flowed everywhere in an instant.

Li Cunxu stood in front of the city wall, staring at the army that was charging towards the city gate.His head was slightly lowered, as if he was lost in thought.

"No need to hide, come out." Li Cunxu's voice was low, and he didn't know who he was talking to, "I know you are here."

In the darkness not far ahead, a figure slowly appeared.

The man was dressed in black, his figure looming in the flames and night.He faced Li Cunxu and said darkly: "How dare you attack Tanzhou at night?!"

"I don't want you, where is your master?" Li Cunxu looked up at the man in black and asked in a deep voice.

The man in black snorted coldly, and said, "If you want to see the commander-in-chief, it depends on your real ability."

Before he finished speaking, the man in black quickly approached Li Cunxu, but the latter remained indifferent.

He turned his head and glanced at Li Cunxu who was standing there without moving, with a smug smile on his face.

However, at this moment, Li Cunxu's figure suddenly disappeared, and suddenly appeared in front of the man in black.

Bang!
Before the man in black could understand what had happened, Li Cunxu punched him hard into the collapsed city wall, and he spat out a mouthful of blood on his back.

Li Cunxu grabbed the man in black's ankle, pulled him out of the city wall, and threw him on the ground, staring down at the man's distorted face due to pain, and asked, "Who are you? Are you a bad person?"

"Do you think I'll tell you?" The man in black fell to the ground unable to move, but he was not afraid at all.

Li Cunxu looked down at the pale man in black, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I don't need to know who you are, I just know that you are going to die soon."

Li Cunxu simply ignored him, instead walked to his side, and slapped the city wall with his palm from the air.

The city wall had been baptized by artillery fire and was already crumbling. After receiving Li Cunxu's palm, it collapsed with a bang, directly burying the man in black in the pile of stones.

At this moment, a phantom suddenly swayed in the darkness, rushing towards Li Cunxu like lightning.

Li Cunxu seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he turned his palms to face each other, and the two palms immediately faced each other, and his true energy was surging.

"Tiangang Jue?"

It was Yuan Tiangang who came.His complexion changed, and before he could think about it, a strong wind broke out at the place where the two met, forcing them to retreat one after another.

The two distanced themselves and looked at each other vigilantly, without any movement.

After a long silence, Yuan Tiangang finally spoke.

"How can you have the internal power of the Tiangang Jue in your body? No, not only the inner power of the Tiangang Jue, but also the inner power of the Wulei Tianxin Jue and the Most Holy Qiankun Gong in your body."

Li Cunxu stood three feet away from Yuan Tiangang, and said, "Everyone has secrets."

"It seems that you have quite a lot of secrets."

At the same time as these words sounded, a golden color appeared in Yuan Tiangang's hands, and a wave of tyrannical true energy suddenly enveloped the left and right.The originally aimless Night Breeze was forced by true energy and flew towards Li Cunxu.Its strength is as sharp as a biting cold wind.

Suddenly, Li Cunxu raised his left hand very quickly, and when Yuan Tiangang's true energy was about to stop in front of his throat, he swung his palm to reach it.

The two internal forces collided again, but this time Yuan Tiangang felt as if he was facing a huge boulder, and he couldn't make any further progress.

Li Cunxu's internal energy seems to be deeper than his internal energy!

At this time, two strands of true energy collided violently.In the gap that could not be released, Li Cunxu's whole body was shaken with zhenqi, and he actually pushed Yuan Tiangang's zhenqi away again.

"Let's stop fighting." Li Cunxu stood where he was, looked at Yuan Tiangang and shook his head: "You are not my opponent now."

Yuan Tiangang sneered, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "Whether you win or not, you have to try it."

"To be honest, I have absorbed the internal power of Zhu Youwen, Mirror Heart Demon, and all the undercover agents of bad people lurking in every army, town, and faction!"

Li Cunxu narrated very flatly: "Especially Zhu Youwen. Originally, Zhu Youwen had the internal energy of hundreds of Jianghu masters that he absorbed in his body, but now these hundreds of people and the original internal energy of Zhu Youwen have all belonged to me. What do you think? Can you still beat me?"

Yuan Tiangang didn't think so, "You have absorbed so much mottled and messy internal energy, your body is probably at the end of its strength."

Li Cunxu smiled but did not answer.

The unscrupulous undercover agents in the feudal towns that he had absorbed his internal power were actually found out by the Nine Yin Mantra and the soul-hunting technique, that is, the soul-searching technique. There were about 30 of them.

Although Li Cunxu absorbed the different internal forces of so many people, there were not many side effects.

Under the magical conversion effect of Xuanbing Jade Fire Wine, and under the effect of the system, all the internal forces he absorbed can be used freely.

This is the reason why his martial arts has advanced by leaps and bounds, and it is also the reason for him to face Yuan Tiangang directly.

"Unification of the world is the general trend, there is no possibility for you to return to the Tang Dynasty."

The atmosphere was silent for a long time, and Li Cunxu suddenly said to Yuan Tiangang: "The puppet dynasty you have established, the country has no master, will be incompetent, the people will have no food, and the bureaucracy is corrupt. How can it become a climate?"

Yuan Tiangang said with a sneer: "The way of heaven and the stars, everything must be reversed."

"The way of governing a country is not that everything must be reversed. Tang Taizong can be said to be well aware of this principle." Li Cunxu retorted: "Yuan Tiangang, although you have lived for 300 years, do you understand the way of governing the country?"

"You don't understand, and I don't understand, but there are some people who understand, and these people who understand are very small."

"They don't know martial arts, celestial phenomena, or even how to survive the war, but they know people's livelihood."

"In today's world Si'an, with the efforts of all living beings, the Jin State uses Bianzhou as its capital to manage the Central Plains, and has achieved leapfrog development in regional economy, culture, education and other aspects of society."

"In terms of medical institutions, the State of Jin established the Imperial Medical Bureau. There is no distinction between education and teaching. Anyone who is literate can enter the Imperial Medical Bureau. A large number of medical talents have been trained to benefit the people."

"In terms of agriculture, the imperial court not only resumed camping, but also formulated a series of policies to encourage fleeing households to return to work and resume agricultural production, striving to restore and develop agricultural production. In addition, I have already sent people to Champa in the Indochina Peninsula to find A high-yielding, early-maturing, drought-tolerant Champa rice variety."

"In terms of water conservancy, although the state of Jin has not been established for a long time, it has repaired the river embankments in Suanzao County many times."

"In terms of education, Jin reopened the imperial examinations, built schools, and printed a large number of Confucian classics as standard texts for Confucianism..."

"The way of heaven is impermanent. Everything you said and did has been shown in the prosperous Tang Dynasty." Yuan Tiangang sighed: "But these things are still passing. , Lost deer is hard to chase... Let you be brilliant for a while, but what if the sky wants to kill you?"

"The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was not due to God's favor, but to human affairs. The demise of the Tang Dynasty was not caused by natural disasters, but by man-made disasters."

Yuan Tiangang said: "Oh?"

Li Cunxu said: "The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty did not rely on the blessings of heaven, but on the efforts of the wise monarchs and ministers of the past dynasties. The society formed interest groups like big landlords, and in the imperial court formed interest groups like big bureaucrats.”

"They colluded with each other and influenced each other, forming a huge force, which in turn affected the political direction of the entire Tang court. In order to maintain their vested interests, they opposed all things that were beneficial to people's livelihood, economic development, and social relief at that time. Contradictory reforms...do not take the hearts of the people as the heart, do not take the people as the foundation, this is the root cause of the decline of the Tang Dynasty."

"In the final analysis, the rise and fall of dynasties depends on the way of man. What is the connection with the way of heaven? People are the capital of successful social activities!"

Li Cunxu glanced at the soldiers advancing into Tanzhou City in the distance, and said: "You are peerless in martial arts, and you have a high position. You are clearly capable of preventing Huang Chao, Zhu Wen, and others in Anlu Mountain from harming the people of the world, but you stand by and even add fuel to the flames. The people suffered from the war and lost their lives for no reason. The country is based on the people, and the development of people's livelihood and science and technology is the top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country. If the people are all dead, who can develop production? Who will want to restore the Tang Dynasty? You If you don’t take the lives of the people as your life, the people will naturally not sacrifice their lives for you, the Jingyuan Mutiny is a living example!”

The so-called Jingyuan mutiny refers to Fengtian's disaster. It was a mutiny in which Jingyuan soldiers who went to pacify the rebels in Huaixi counterattacked Chang'an because the court did not distribute food, and forced Tang Dezong to flee.

Yuan Tiangang laughed twice when he heard this.

Li Cunxu said, "Are you laughing?"

Yuan Tiangang asked back: "Should I not laugh?"

Li Cunxu looked at him and shook his head: "I don't understand what you mean by laughing."

"Laughter has many meanings. There are bitter smiles and happy smiles." Yuan Tiangang said: "The reason why laughter has so many meanings is because knowing the sky is easy, but it is difficult against the sky."

Li Cunxu said: "What is the fate of the gods? In fact, they think they have penetrated the world, but they are not. People should be more pragmatic and do things down-to-earth. For example, Emperor Taizong's last instruction "Di Fan", this is a person who can do something. Entrepreneurs’ understanding of life and the world.”
