Chapter 13 Ambition
"I said that the small loss in Li Ye's hands was completely due to insufficient preparation."
Yelu Abaoji sat obliquely on the low-collapsed glass, filled with blood-colored grapes in his hand, and said to the great envoy of the tent, "Since I was sensible, I have been learning Chinese characters and reciting the Tang Dynasty's poetry, classics and historical books. My understanding of the Tang Dynasty culture is a hundred times stronger than the so-called great scholars of the Tang Dynasty."
Qi Wotai, who had gray hair and beards but had no wrinkles on his face, found that Yelu Abaoji had an unconcealed look of pride and complacent eyes when he was saying this.
Yelu Abaoji squinted his eyes and enjoyed it and continued, "The Tang people always called us barbarians. They not only called the shepherds on the grasslands barbarians, but also called the tribes in the poor mountains and rivers outside the border as barbarians. Many people think this is an insult to us by the Tang people, but in my opinion, this is the truth.
"In terms of culture and wisdom, the Tang people are much better than us. When I look at the history of the Han and Tang Dynasties, even if I am a grasslander, I will admire them very much. In comparison, the shepherds on the grassland are useless except for getting along with cattle and sheep and learning from wolves. We don't even have our own words!
"So, Yelu Abaoji, if I want to become the greatest hero in history on the grassland, I have to change the ignorant state of the Khitans! So I have created Khitan characters and learned the Tang Dynasty system to establish a country. If ignorant people want to become the master of this world, they have to learn to become smart.
"Ordinary people don't know how to become smart, but I, as their great king, must teach them how to become smart! The warriors on the grassland are not lacking in courage. On this point, the Tang people have no advantages. If the warriors on the grassland have wisdom, we will definitely be able to defeat the Tang people!
"My great messenger, I know what you want to say, the people on the grassland become smart... Well, or it takes time to become treacherous and cunning, and this is what I know. This is exactly what I, Yelu Abaoji, the greatest king ever on the grassland, should do for my people.
"Before the grassland people become smart, I will use my wisdom to make up for their shortcomings and let the Tang people suffer all their hardships! Great God, you should know how easy I am to learn and how much I like to think. Only God knows that my enthusiasm for these two things is even more than that of Yunyu Liduo on the bed!"
The great god felt a little strange.
Today, Yelu Abaoji talks a lot.
The other party rarely talks like this. It’s not that he can’t, but that he doesn’t want to.
So at this moment, Yelu Abaoji should be very happy. If a person is happy, there must be a reason, especially as the king of the grassland, his great joy must be because there are great things on the grassland.
To be more precise, Yelu Abaoji did a great thing for the plateau.
Zhiwotai first raised his glass to express his praise for Yelu Abaoji, and then asked: "What have you done to benefit the grassland so much that it makes you so happy?"
Yelu Abaoji looked at Qiwotai seriously and said slowly: "Qiwotai, you are a divine envoy, and a great divine envoy, so even in front of me, the king of the grassland, I have never had a sense of awe.
"You always preach yourself to act in accordance with God's command. You always say that the vast majority of heaven and earth belong to God, and the king of the grassland should also prostrate himself at God's feet. But I tell you that God is not omnipotent, at least now, she cannot let me
Win the Tang War!”
As the leader of the God Sect, Qi Wotai was naturally unhappy after hearing what Yelu Abaoji said.
He said in a deep voice: "God is omnipotent. You should not be disrespectful to God. You should know that the achievements you can have today are God's will and God's help. The immortals and mortals are one, and you will never know what God and the army of God have done above the fairyland!"
Yelu Abaoji opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute it for a moment.
Of course he didn't know about the things above the fairyland, nor could he know about them.
Whether in the Central Plains or in the grassland, the ceremony of worshiping the sky has existed since eternal times. The purpose of the ceremony of worshiping the sky is to communicate with the mortal kings and obtain instructions and blessings from the gods.
The Central Plains worship of heaven is relatively fixed, the word "Heaven" has a very general meaning. No matter who it is in heaven, you are heaven anyway, you will accept my prayers. Therefore, the Central Plains dynasty and the emperors of the imperial dynasty call themselves the emperor.
On the grassland, the objects of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven are more specific, such as the Kunlun God, the wolf God, etc.
The god worshipped by the Khitan is neither the Kunlun God nor the immortal heaven, but the god.
This is similar to the Central Plains.
As the king of the grassland, Yelu Abaoji was qualified to communicate with the gods and immortals of the Divine Cult, but from the beginning to the end, he didn't know what the gods looked like or what kind of magical powers they had. He used the power of the Divine Cult to unify the grassland and accepted the will of God to go south, but he had never seen the gods of the Divine Cult before.
This of course made Yelu Abaoji dissatisfied.
In fact, at the beginning, Yelu Abaoji was not dissatisfied.
It is a very reasonable thing for mortals to not see God. No matter how confident Yelu Abaoji is, he does not have the luxury of being the Lord of the Immortal Realm. Being able to be the master of the mortal world is already the limit of his imagination.
Until, he heard that Li Ye seemed to have seen a Taoist god.
He even killed many Taoist gods.
This shocked his heart.
It turns out that mortals can kill gods and have the ability to kill gods.
Since then, Yelu Abaoji no longer had pure awe and worship of gods.
He even heard rumors that Li Ye not only has an identity in the mortal world, but also in the fairyland!
He once gathered a team called the "Demon Clan" and rushed to the Immortal Realm to seize the territory of the Taoist Immortal Court!
Mortals can not only kill gods, but also destroy the gods. This scene has a huge impact on Yelu Abaoji.
Under this circumstance, Yelu Abaoji burst out with an unmatched light of fighting spirit and wisdom.
Yelu Abaoji looked at Qiewotai and smiled mysteriously, saying, "I once heard Li Ye say something: Man conquers nature. I didn't agree with this before, and felt that the power of mountains, rivers and grasslands is much stronger than that of humans. Later I realized that what he said was that the power of the mortal world can defeat the power of the immortal realm.
"If it was just God's intention to go south to annex the Central Plains before, then now, this is my lifelong goal. When I occupy the Central Plains, I will be able to conquer nature like Li Ye! So this time I launched the "World Attack Tang" battle, my plan is far beyond your imagination!"
Zhiwotai was stunned. He didn't care at all about Yelu Abaoji's rash words that he could defeat God, because it was impossible to achieve. He was concerned about
Another question: "What kind of plans do you have?"
Yelu Abaoji smiled mysteriously: "This is a competition of wisdom, a use and utilization of all powers. Even if Li Ye is a giant, he will eventually die in the mouths of countless Taotie!"
What Yelu Abaoji did not say explicitly is that when Li Ye was defeated and he would conquer the Central Plains, he would lead the army to strait the gods in the Immortal Realm.
If a long time ago, Yelu Abaoji was only satisfied with being the king of the grassland, it was the help of the Divine Cult, which gave him the ambition to be the emperor of the world.
Then the road and back that Li Ye was walking ahead made Yelu Abaoji realize that he could still be the master of heaven and earth!
......
This is Wang Jian’s second time to come to Dousha Pass in Dousha County.
This is a remote mountain, endless wilderness, and even deep wilderness.
But this is also the most steepest passage from Shuzhong to Nanzhao, and in a sense, it is even the most suitable passage.
The year before yesterday, Shun Huazhen, the most brave and war-friendly general under the command of Shun Huachen, led the 500,000 Nanzhao army from here to invade Shu, plunder the prefectures and counties, plunder the population, robbery of property and food, and brought great disasters to Shu.
Now, Wang Jian, with 300,000 soldiers from Shu, was about to set out from here to attack Nanzhao, and to save the shame of the previous year. As a Tang Dynasty man, and a brave and good at fighting Tang Dynasty man, and one of the few kings among the Tang Dynasty, Wang Jian has his undoubtedly awesome self-esteem and pride.
This kind of self-esteem and pride made Wang Jian unable to tolerate the shame of being offended by the savages in Nanzhao!
"Your Highness, according to the Qingyi Yamen investigation, King Nanzhao has summoned 600,000 troops to complete the assembly on the southern line of Dousha Pass! The front of the vanguard army is approaching the Five-Foot Road and is expected to arrive within three days!" The military envoy in charge of military information came to report to Wang Jian.
Wang Jian's face was low, but he had a high fighting spirit in his eyes. He whispered: "The vanguard's 30,000 infantry and cavalry must pass the Five-Foot Road within three days, and set up camp in the south of the Dao, so that the army can pass the Five-Foot Road and fight to the death without retreating!"
The military envoy looked solemn and held his fists to take the order: "I am grateful for the order!"
Wang Jian looked at the steaming five-foot road with iron expression.
......
The Khitan did not have a god envoy to cause trouble in Chu, but Li Ye stayed in Changsha for a long time. As he had expected before, Ma Yin's attempt to rebel had already caused panic in Chu and made the people feel deeply uneasy.
The current peace and prosperity are hard-won. Once a military disaster breaks out, no one knows whether they can live until tomorrow and cannot guarantee whether their children can survive the military disaster, so they are filled with sadness and fear - of course this has the effect of secretly exaggerating the Qingyi Yamen.
Therefore, after Li Ye killed Ma Yin and was promoted to Chu, the people were grateful to the court and King An. As a result, Li Ye successfully gained the luck of many people in Chu, and his cultivation has improved a lot.
As for Lingnan, according to Li Ye's order, 200,000 troops have been gathered to attack Nanzhao from the side, echoing the offensive launched by Wang Jian from Shu.
Liu Yin was the king of Guangzhou, but he did not take charge of the battle. He just supervised the transportation of food and grass in Guangzhou, which was considered as the best use of the goods.
The war in the south has broken out, and its power is very powerful, different than ever before, with a huge momentum.
However, Li Ye did not intend to stay in the south for more. He handed over all the affairs to Wang Jian and quickly returned to Chang'an.
