In the eighth year, the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the sixth month, the beginning of the moon.

In the eighth year, the time of the nine stars, the hour of the moon, the Little Heat and the Great Heat.

On the last month, on the last day of Mu Yue, Yelu Deguang conferred Dongfang Yanguang as the new emperor of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, replacing the Mengdan Empire and taking charge of this land in the land of Shenzhou.

After doing all this, Yelu Deguang, the Tiankhan of the Mengdan Empire, was so excited that he led the Mengdan Iron Cavalry Army, and brought one carriage after another of the spoils to the northern imperial capital of the Mobei on the grassland.

Therefore, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Later Jin court was the first to be destroyed, and the entire family of Shi Jingfeng died.

It can be seen that it was a pleasure to recognize the thief as his father for a while, and the endless disasters were waiting. Before the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were opened, his younger brother Shi Jingchao was because he recognized Yelu Deguang, who was younger than him, as his adoptive father, and thus he developed a rebellious heart.

In the end, Shi Jingfeng watched helplessly that his younger brother Shi Jingchao's entire family was executed by Yelu Deguang in Youzhou City.

Now, after Shi Jingfeng's death, Yelu Deguang instigated Dongfang Yanguang and his group to kill all his entire family.

True, the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, who have you spared?

Therefore, Bai Tu in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Bai Tu Kingdom in Leizhou City was the first to be destroyed. Bai Renyi's family was still alive except for his son Bai Yulong. His daughter-in-law Yun Yiyin, his wife Bai Lady, his three brothers, his four nephews, and all of them died.

If it weren't for this, Yun Wenxi would rescue him on the Tianqi Peak of Jiuxian Mountain, I'm afraid the White Jade Dragon would die from the inner demon of revenge in his heart.

Therefore, at the beginning of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the first to use conspiracy to unite and join forces, allowing the two island countries, the Eight Islands of the East Islands and the Eight Islands of the South China Sea to be completely merged into the Sixteen Islands of the South China Sea.

The sixteen islands in the South China Sea are:

Crescent moon, coral, Ryukyu, fishing for rain, Penghu, Gonggu, Wang'an, Zhoushan, Huayang, Jiulong, Nansha, Yongshu, Taiping, Jinlan, Huangyan, Lindao.

The last prime minister of the Tang Dynasty - Dongfang Yuandao was the peak of the Fence Clan during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. He became the lord of the Sixteen Islands of the South China Sea and the current lord of Shangdu City.

Not only that, the east and the distances also had the seal of the two dynasties, the Later Jin court and the Later Han court.

In the end, after the demise of the Later Jin court, his son Dongfang Yanguang became a puppet emperor, and their family became the biggest beneficiaries of the disaster in China.

………………………………………………

In June, the eighth year of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the beginning of the moon.

The army of 200,000 Mengdan Iron Cavalry started from the Great Wall defense line on the easternmost coast of the North Sea, swept across the entire fifteen Youyun states until the troops headed straight to the city of Youzhou.

It lasted for half a month, and the large-scale battle, with 200,000 Mengdan Iron Cavalry Army, was invincible, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil.

Under the continuous war, all the people of Youyun, except for Leizhou, died in battle, leaving only the White Jade Dragon and Long Yue.

The people of other states did not flee to the northern border, were not captured to the imperial capital of the northern desert, and were not cruelly killed. The large tract of land in Youyun was like a purgatory on earth.

For this reason, Tingzhou City has collected countless refugees from Youyun, and the entire people's livelihood economy in the northern border country has also paid a great price.

In the end, with the maintenance of Zhu Yitian and a group of civil and military officials, the situation was barely stabilized.

The land of China, the five dynasties and ten countries, originally checked and balanced each other and maintained a delicate balance, and there will inevitably be extremely drastic changes.

In Chang'an City, the Later Tang Dynasty emperor, the Li family, and the only remaining royal family - Li Ketian, who he and Shen Jimiao once conceived to peacefully unify the Five Dynasties, or at the minimum price, the prospect of unifying the Five Dynasties and recreating the Tang Dynasty, suddenly became dim.

At that time, in the Later Tang court, Chang'an City, and the palace, many Later Tang civil and military officials and generals were planning for the future.

At this time, the city of Tingzhou was in an uproar and the crowd was infuriated.

The vendors are in a state of mood, and the food in restaurants and restaurants seems to be less smelly. The people in Tingzhou are in a state of mood.

The two sides of the Iron Cavalry of Mengdan were attacking the northern border. Although there was a Great Wall defense line in the north, it rushed from the entire Youzhou City to the east and came a flank sneak attack.

There is a straight punch on the front and a right hook on the side. In such an unfavorable situation, who can sit at home?

Even, together with the disabled soldiers of Chengde Army who had just fled from the front line of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun and who were unwilling to surrender to the puppet regime of the Mengdan Empire, spontaneously came to Ziwei Palace.

The people of Tingzhou, a small number of them were disabled German soldiers, most of them were fleeing people, and thousands of people stood silently outside the Ziwei Palace of the Later Sui court.

No one caused trouble, no one even made noise. They all stood in the scorching sun in the summer, and stood in the late night before they dispersed.

Then the next day, it was still the same, for several consecutive days.

Thousands of people gathered together and looked at Ziwei Palace silently for several days, but there was no sound.

The quiet outside Ziwei Palace caused indescribable pressure on the inner Ziwei Hall, the latter Sui Emperor Zhu Yitian, the latter Sui Prince Yun Xingchen, and a group of civil and military officials. In these few days, everyone's hearts instantly experienced a lot.

In fact, it was not that Zhu Yitian did not lead the Tingce Iron Cavalry to return to rescue Youzhou City.

Instead, the Youzhou City rebelled and surrendered too quickly in the east by Yanguang and the Ghost Girl Snake Demon.

When Zhu Yitian gathered tens of thousands of Ting Ce cavalry and sent troops to Youzhou City, after half a march, he learned that Youzhou City surrendered to Xiancheng, and knew that the situation was hopeless and irreversible.

If so, if you attack Youzhou City at this time, your tens of thousands of Ting Ce troops would probably go but not return.

………………………………………………

In June, the eighth year of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the middle of the moon.

Outside Ziwei Palace, thousands of people have been silent for nearly ten days.

All of them start from the early morning of the day, and then go back late at night to take a break.

Finally, the next day, and then, it continued, and lasted for nearly ten days.

In the middle of the moon, this afternoon.

Inside the Ziwei Palace and above the Ziwei Hall, Zhu Yitian has been sitting on the dragon throne for several days, and has been a little bored from the early morning to now.

So he walked down the high dragon throne and came to the middle of a group of civil and military officials in the court.

At this time, the young prince, Yun Xingchen, still insisted on his opinion:

"The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are one of the most important horse pastures in China. If you lose Youyun, not only will you lose half of the Great Wall defense line, but you will also lose it. In the past, the most important horse pastures of the Tang Dynasty."

"So, no matter what, we must recover the Sixteen State of Youyun and drive Dongfang Yanguang, the puppet of the Mengdan Empire, out of Youzhou City."

Indeed, as Yun Xingchen said, there are many places within the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun that are stretching for hundreds of miles. Regardless of the climate or landforms, Youyun that are the most suitable for raising war horses.

Because war horses need wildness to show bloodiness on the battlefield. If they are kept in captivity, how can they get wildness?

Therefore, since the Great Han Dynasty, traditions and customs of raising war horses and raising war horses within the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun have been formed.

The one who sets this precedent is the Great Han Dynasty. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che attracted the bloody horse from the Four Wastelands at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains of Kunlun.

Therefore, more than two hundred years ago, in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, this tradition was adopted.

Therefore, decades ago, the Tang Dynasty had not experienced the Anshi Rebellion, and was not in the reign of the last Tang Emperor Li Yu.

At that time, on the land of China, the warlords had not yet become a climate.

At that time, for more than a hundred years, the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty also traverseed the grasslands, making the Iron Cavalry of Mengdan frightened.

One of the most important reasons is that the horse ranch farms in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun have been providing the most wild, tamed and disciplined bloody war horses.

………………………………………………

On this day, the three parties were arguing over the Later Sui court whether to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

The first party is represented by the young prince Yun Xingchen, who insisted on sending troops to recover the Sixteen State of Youyun immediately.

There are only a few supporters on this side, but Yun Xingchen argues with reason and will never compromise.

However, this side, outside the palace, represents the voice of thousands of people.

The second party is represented by the later Sui Prime Minister, including a group of civil servants, advocated a settlement in a corner and not to start a war easily.

There are many supporters on this side, including a group of civil servants and some generals of the Tingce Army.

From a strategic perspective, this side is not without reason. In the northern border country, the Great Wall must be defended in the north. If so, the east will continue to fight, and Li Ketian of the Later Tang Dynasty and Zhou Zetian of the Later Zhou Dynasty will not unite and quickly conquer the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

Once all the Ting Ce troops of the Northern Territory Kingdom fell into a protracted war with the puppet regime of the Mengdan Empire in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

In the north, if the Mengdan Iron Cavalry takes advantage of the opportunity, I am afraid that the northern country will not be protected.

However, these three dynasties, the Later Sui, the Later Tang and the Later Zhou dynasties, if so, conquered the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

After that, how to divide the spheres of influence of each party!

Luoyang City in the Later Zhou Dynasty was far away from Chang'an City in the Later Tang Dynasty and Tingzhou City in the Later Sui Dynasty. The land of the Sixteen Prefectures was divided into the sixteen prefectures, which was useless for the Later Zhou court.

Chang'an City in the Later Tang Dynasty was much further away from the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun than Tingzhou City in the Later Sui Dynasty.

No matter how the land in the sixteen states is divided, for Tingzhou City, it is impossible to conceal the geographical fact that the tower near water has the moon first.

Therefore, it is understandable that the second party adopts a conservative attitude.

The third party, represented by Zhu Yitian, the Later Sui Emperor, including some high-ranking military generals of the core Tingce Army, advocated the formation of two dynasties and the Later Sui court united into one court and two armies.

The Tingce army defended the Great Wall of the Northern Territory and resisted the raid from the Mengdan Iron Cavalry on the grassland.

The Dragon Cavalry Army in Chang'an City is used to conquer all directions and recreate the unified land of China.

However, from the beginning, this idea was firmly resisted by the Later Sui Prime Minister, a group of civil servants, and some generals of the Tingce Army.

Because this means that the Tingce army guards the Great Wall of the Northern Territory, the entire civil servant group of the Later Sui court, from the prime minister to the minor officials, would basically have to be replaced by the civil servant group of Chang'an City, represented by Shen Jimiao.

Therefore, in the face of future interests, a group of civil servants led by the Sui Prime Minister resolutely resisted.

Besides, those generals of the Tingce Army, who had followed Zhu Yitian into Chang'an City and fought fiercely with the Dragon Cavalry and Longxiang Army, were stained with the blood of many of their generals and soldiers. In addition, Zhu Yitian killed Li Quanzhong, the commander of the two imperial guards at that time, and he was the father of the current Emperor Li Ketian of the Later Tang Dynasty.

The reason was that Zhu Yitian's wife Yun Huixian was dug up the heart of the seven-orbital saint by Li Yu, the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and used it for Mengchen's body.

So, in the past, that night, Zhu Yitian waved the spirit-killing sword and assassinated Li Yu with one sword. With just one sword, he stabbed his head in his chest and heart. In an instant, the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty was killed immediately.

In the end, the Heaven Sword and Dragon Slaying caused the end of the Tang Dynasty.
