542 Return to the Qinghai

After Master Huaizhi helped Pugu Huaien recovered all the territory of Xueyantuo in one fell swoop, the news of victory soon spread to Chang'an City, Kyoto. Emperor Xuanzong was very pleased after receiving the good news. Because he knew that as long as Master Huaizhi continued to help the official army kill demons and eliminate demons, recover all the territory of the Great Northwest and Southwest, and rebuild the prosperous Li Tang Dynasty again, it was only a matter of time. However, the situation in the Great Northwest and Southwest had become extremely chaotic and uncontrollable. Now, the caliph of the Great Food Kingdom, King Abbas, supports the White Horse Association in Qinghai to carry out riots and split activities. This will constrain the main force of our official army to use troops to the Western Regions. At the same time, the Tufan Zhongbajie sent Shang Wentong and Shang Wenbao.

The two brothers commanded the 200,000 Tufan army to conquer Qinghai in one fell swoop and control the Western Regions. This made Emperor Xuanzong extremely worried. In order to completely eliminate these rebels, Emperor Xuanzong finally decided to let this Grand Marshal Gu Huaien station in Ulan Sade City to ensure that the northwest of the Great Food Kingdom was not invaded by the Great Shige Kingdom. At the same time, Zhang Jingzhong was appointed as the governor of Hexi, and personally led the 200,000 troops of the official army to go to the Western Regions, recover the lost territory, and annihilate all enemies. In order to prevent the damn Kunlun Mountain Qitian Emperor from continuing to disrupt the Western Expedition Army, Master Huaizhi was allowed to transfer to Qinghai and help Marshal Zhang Jingzhong continue to complete the mission of the Western Expedition. In this way, Master Huaizhi and his disciples received the imperial edict from Emperor Xuanzong and continued to help General Zhang Jingzhong go to Qinghai.

Now this Qinghai land is a place that must be fought for in the Western Regions. Not only does it support the White Horse Association, but it also has the White Lotus Sect, a remnant force of the Persian Empire, defeated by the Great Food Kingdom. Its leader is Li Shidao, and his master is Sasan Dulong, the prince of the Sasanid Dynasty in the Persian Kingdom. He is determined to use the strength of the Tang Dynasty to help him restore his country and defeat the Great Food Kingdom. He came to Qinghai and asked General Zuo Di, the Qinghai Guard here, to help him.

General Zuo Di is the beloved general of Emperor Xuanzong. He has been guarding Qinghai for many years. As a commander, he never takes anyone seriously, especially Murong Delong, the leader of the Tuyuhun tribe who dominates Qinghai. General Zuo Di has always focused on him for fear of his uprising. In this way, they guarded each other and the relationship became very unharmonious. This brought opportunities to the White Horse Association, which supported the Great Food Kingdom. They have always been trying to win over Murong Delong, the Great Food Kingdom. As the Great Food Kingdom, Murong Delong, as the Great Food Kingdom, knows that this White Horse Association is a dangerous element of the Tang Dynasty. They not only have connections with the Great Food Kingdom, but also have connections with the Nighthawk Heavenly King, who is deeply hated by the people of Qinghai.

So Murong Delong, the leader of Tuyuhun, has always been very cold to them and strictly guarded against them. The conflict between the two sides has not completely intensified. As a result, at this time, Tufan Zhong cursed himself to control the land of Qinghai and control the Western Regions. He joined forces with the king of the Great Food Kingdom to invade Qinghai together, which led the ten major division leaders of the White Horse Association, Bai Shijue, Bai Canghai, Bai Yuting, Ma Qinglong, Bai Tianlong, Ma Liangcai, Ma Shaozhi, Ma Feihu, Ma Feibao, and Ma Jinlong, to lead 200,000 great food scholars to join the two brothers of Tufan generals Shang Wentong and Wenbao to send a total of 400,000 troops to sweep the land of Qinghai in one fell swoop, preparing to annihilate General Zuo Di's main force.

There are many generals around General Zuo Di, especially the Zuo family army in his hands, all of which are his sons. They are known as the Ten Tiger Generals of the Zuo family. They are Zuo Zhenshan, Zuo Zhenhai, Zuo Zhenchuan, Zuo Zhenfeng, Zuo Zhenlei, Zuo Zhenting, Zuo Zhenlin, Zuo Zhenxiao, Zuo Zhentian, Zuo Zhentian, each of them is very skilled in martial arts. They have been studying in the immortals for many years and commanded the Zuo family army of 100,000, and are intimidating in this Qinghai land. As a result, this time, Shang Wentong and Shang Wenbao brothers, in order to defeat the Zuo family army, actually cooperated with the Nighthawk Heavenly King, the Great Governor of the Qinghai War Zone garrison in the hands of Emperor Qitian. This caused the Zuo family army to encounter an unprecedented crisis. They were the Weird Eagle Beast King and the Thunder Eagle Beast King in the hands of the Nighthawk Heavenly King using the night attack to raid the Zuo family army camp, killing the Zuo family army with heavy casualties. After a night of fierce fighting, they were finally forced to withdraw from Qinghai Prefecture.

The Zuo family army was the last glimmer of hope for the Persian prince Sasanthesia Poison Dragon to restore the country. Seeing that they were defeated like this, he asked Li Shidao to lead 10,000 White Lotus Sects to rescue him. In this way, he encountered a group of sieges by Shang Wentong and the flying beast monster in the Tianwang Mountain area. The battle situation was tight. Only then did General Zuo Di think of asking for help from the leader of Tuyuhun Murong Delong.

Murong Delong has a main force of 200,000 Tuyuhun in his hands, which is why Nighthawk Heavenly King has always been interested in him and wants to use his main cavalry force to annihilate the Zuo family army in one fell swoop. Murong Delong is interested in the Tang Dynasty. He knew that once the official army retreated from Qinghai, his people would be harmed by flying beast monsters. After thinking about it, he finally decided to send troops to rescue the Zuo family army. In this way, he took his beloved daughter Murong Jinyan, who is good at fighting, and went to Tianwang Mountain to rescue the official army.

After the Tuyuhun leader Murong Delong personally led the army to the camp of the Nighthawk King, the Nighthawk King trusted him very much and promised him. He said, "In the future, whether it is the Tufan control of the Western Regions or the Dashiguo invaded the Western Regions, this Qinghai land belongs to you. As long as you submit to me, I will make you the King of Qinghai." After hearing this, Murong Delong pretended to be very happy and asked for the Nighthawk King to fight. In this way, he obtained the approval of the Nighthawk King. Then he asked his beloved daughter Murong Jinyan to bring her handwritten letter and took the chaotic battle between the two armies and ran to General Zuo Di and handed it to him.

Murong Jinyan rode on a fast horse as his father's instructions. With his martial arts skills, he found General Zuo Di and handed the letter to General Zuo Di. When Zuo Di got the letter, he realized that the leader Murong Delong asked him to lead his main force to break through his defense line, ready to fight out in one step. After receiving such a letter, General Zuo Di was very grateful to the leader Murong Delong, and it was difficult to express his gratitude, so he had to launch a comprehensive breakthrough according to the agreement in advance. In the end, they fought together inside and outside, so they caught the Tufan army and the White Horse Association army off guard, and broke through the siege in one fell swoop.

The Nighthawk King did not expect Murong Delong to turn against him at this time and destroy his good deeds. Seeing that the Zuo family army had already broken out of Qinghai, he did not continue to pursue him, but instead scattered all his breath on the Tuyuhun people, which caused the Qinghai people to suffer a complete disaster. On the one hand, they were massacred by the Tufan and the White Horse Association, and on the other hand, they were harmed by the flying beast monsters. Only those White Lotus believers were still protecting the people and leading the people to continue to resist. For this reason, the White Horse Association and the White Lotus Sect started a fierce battle.

Qinghai was completely controlled by the Tufan. General Zuo Di and Murong Delong, the leader of Tuyuhun, summoned their old subordinates together to retake Qinghai. At this moment, Master Huaizhi helped General Zhang Jingzhong march towards Qinghai, and finally met General Zuo Di and Murong Delong, who had suffered a tragic defeat. After learning about the situation in Qinghai, Master Huaizhi decided to let General Zhang Jingzhong accompany the army of the leader of Tuyuhun, and the Zuo family army stationed in Xiazhou City. They entered Qinghai in advance to eliminate demons and lay the foundation for the army to recover lost land. After everything was arranged, the masters and disciples set foot on the land of Qinghai.

Before they left, they met Sasanian Prince Sashan Dulong and learned that there were many believers in the White Lotus Sect in Qinghai area and could help the masters and disciples get rid of demons. The masters and disciples led Li Shidao, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, to head to Qinghai together.

The person who obtained the scriptures came to Qinghai. For this reason, the commander of Qinghai, who was the Great Governor of the Nighthawk Heavenly King, had already received the order of the King of Heavenly King of Kunlun Mountain: "Guarded him that Xue Yantuo had completely lost, and the person who obtained the scriptures was very likely to advance to Qinghai in the next step, so that he could lead the millions of flying beasts and monsters in Qinghai to take strict precautions, and the person who obtained the scriptures should not make the person who obtained the scriptures advance half a step. Otherwise, once Qinghai falls, the land of the west of Longyou Hehe will be recovered by the Tang Dynasty's official army. By then, the Western Regions and Tufan will be in danger, and Kunlun Mountain is in danger. Therefore, at all costs, defend Qinghai will not be allowed to do so.

Let the seeker advance half a step forward, otherwise the title of Nighthawk King will be cancelled." After receiving the latest instructions from Kunlun Mountain, in order to fulfill his mission, Nighthawk King let the demon king and the Thunder Eagle Beast King personally lead 10,000 flying beast monsters stationed on Leiying Mountain. This is the place that must be passed to Qinghai. As long as you guard this mountain, no matter whether it is an official army or a seeker, you will not be able to step into Qinghai. For this reason, Shang Wentong personally sent 50,000 troops to assist the Thunder Eagle King in building fortifications here, stationing here, strictly guarding the death, and making all preparations for war.

Master Huaizhi and his disciples came all the way and finally arrived at Leiying Mountain. In order to prevent the master and apprentice from being discovered by the flying beast monster, Xuantong Liuer disguised his brothers and became the people of Tuyuhun tribe. He used the stones all over the mountain to transform into a horse team. The master and apprentice rode on the horses and drove the horses to approach Qinghai. Finally, they were discovered by the flying beast monsters who were reconnaissance in the air. Seeing that it was a horse, he did not continue to care about them and just snatched by the flying beast monsters. However, when they arrived at the foot of Leiying Mountain, they were discovered by the Weiwei King. He felt strange when he saw these Tuyuhun people were not afraid of flying beast monsters at all. Because they were killing in the Tuyuhun tribe, the people could only run out to survive. How could they run around the net? With this, he concluded that it must be spies, so he asked the Tuyuhun soldiers to investigate.

These Tufan soldiers only knew how to occupy other people's territory, sleep with other women, and ignored other things. So they saw that they were all men and women, and after several searches, they found nothing, so they let them go. The strange eagle beast king was secretly surveillance, and when they saw that they could not find anything, they checked with their own eyes. As a result, they found that they were not a tribe, all monks. They asked the flying beast monsters to go out and capture them. As a result, these flying beast monsters flew towards Master Huaizhi, aroused the counterattack of the high disciples, and eventually all of them were exposed, and they started a fierce battle with these flying beast monsters. It was this battle that made the strange eagle king notice the master and disciples of the people who were seeking scriptures, and then told the Thunder Eagle King the news.

When the Thunder Eagle Heavenly King learned that the people who were seeking the scriptures had arrived, he asked Ma Feibao, the leader of the White Horse Association, to lead 5,000 believers to kill the demon monk. In this way, Ma Feibao followed the Tufan general Shang Wentong to chase and kill. The situation in Qinghai was completely different from that of Xue Yantuo, and there were rebellious people everywhere. For Master Huaizhi, he must not participate in the religious massacre war, otherwise his practice would be destroyed. So in order to reduce conflicts and avoid casualties, Master Huaizhi had to let his disciples give up resistance, and was captured alive by Shang Wentong and brought back to Leiying Mountain.

The Thunder Eagle Heavenly King captured the masters and disciples without any effort. He was very happy and asked the Weiwei Heavenly King to discuss the solutions to the masters and disciples. As a result, Xuantong Liu'er could not let the master suffer a lot. He used his ability to break free from the ropes and launched a counterattack on the Demon Mountain. Although they were too great to mortals, they were no problem to deal with these flying beast monsters. After several fierce battles, they chased all the flying beast monsters on the mountain into the air. Finally, the Thunder Eagle Mountain became the territory for those who seek the scriptures.

This was a very shame for the Thunder Eagle King. In order to save his face, the Weird Eagle King mobilized a large army to launch an attack. As a result, no one of the high disciples was worried about it. One by one, they all changed. A large number of monkey soldiers and monkeys were all stationed on the Demon Mountain, defending the Demon Mountain to the Demon Mountain and not letting go. In the end, Shang Wentong led tens of thousands of troops to attack the mountain and assisted the flying beast monsters to regain the lost land.

With the help of Tianshan Snow Monkey, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Li Shidao, quietly mobilized tens of thousands of believers of the White Lotus Sect, and launched an attack on the main force of Shang Wentong. He persisted until the general Zhang Jingzhong's personal army arrived before defeating the rebels. Then the disciples rushed to the Weird Eagle Beast King and the Thunder Eagle Beast King, trapped them in the Tianxuan Demon Capture Formation, fought hard for hundreds of rounds, and was taken away by Master Huaizhi. In this way, the masters and disciples helped Marshal Zhang Jingzhong, recovered Leiying Mountain in one fell swoop, and achieved a comprehensive victory in the first victory in Qinghai. It laid a solid foundation for the next step of continuing to move westward to recover all the lost land in Qinghai.
