Pawn Crossing the River

During the previous Wei Dynasty, a two-capital system was implemented, one in the east and one in the west. The capital in the east is now the Imperial Capital, and the capital in the west is Xijing.

Xijing is also the ancient capital of several dynasties and was once the capital of the Daqi Dynasty.

Since the 20th year of the reign of Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty in the Great Wei Dynasty, the Golden Horde Khanate located on the vast northern grasslands has repeatedly invaded the border from the northwest. By the 22nd year of the reign of Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty, the Golden Horde army came to Xijing City. Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty issued an order, Qi Ying, the governor-general of Qin Dynasty, came forward to form a city alliance with Ili Khan of the Golden Horde. The Wei court compensated the Golden Horde army with 200,000 taels of gold, 13.3 million taels of silver, 1 million shi of grain, 300,000 jins of tea, and 300,000 bolts of silk, and ceded the three prefectures of Liangzhou and Qinzhou In one house, the Golden Horde army withdrew.

In the tenth year of Wude, Qi Ying, the governor-general of Central Qin, died suddenly. Ili Khan led the Golden Horde army to go south again and captured Xijing. Emperor Wude was so frightened and angry that he fell ill and was unable to govern. The affairs of the court were handed over to the Queen Xie and the chief minister of the cabinet Zhang Suqing. Under the leadership of Zhang Suqing, the court refused to negotiate peace and mobilized Shuzhou, Zhongzhou, Jinzhou, and Yanzhou The troops from other places were personally led by Qin Wubing's ancestor Qin Xiang, the governor-general of the left, and launched a battle with the Golden Horde army in Qinzhou, forcing the Golden Horde army to retreat to Liangzhou.

The following year, the Golden Horde army withdrew due to lack of food and grass. Just when Qin Xiang was planning to regain Qinzhou, Liangzhou and other places, Emperor Wude, who was seriously ill, died in the Yanbo Hall of Xiyuan. In the same year, famine broke out in Qinzhou and Liangzhou, leaving hundreds of thousands of refugees homeless. The Gezaodao and other Taomen side branches headed by the Dishi took the opportunity to rise up, sweeping across the two states, occupying Xijing, and elected Tantaiyun as the co-leader. , known as the King of the West.

At this time, the fledgling Xuansheng came to Liangzhou, determined to pacify the world.

At this time, the situation in the Wei Dynasty was turbulent and unclear due to the new emperor's accession to the throne, and there was no time to take care of the Qin and Liang states. In the second year of Tianbao, Empress Dowager Xie launched the Imperial Capital Rebellion and executed the four ministers Gu Ming, headed by Zhang Suqing. Among the charges listed was "the inability to fully negotiate peace with the Golden Horde, which led to today's northwest rebellion." After Zhang Suqing was killed, Qin Xiang, who was favored by Zhang Suqing, was also implicated and was dismissed from office and imprisoned. Thanks to various rescue efforts by others, he saved his life and returned to his hometown.

Later, Xuan Sheng came forward and promoted Qin Xiang to go to Liaodong, and eventually became the founding king of Daxuan.

After Qin Xiang was imprisoned, the imperial court no longer had any generals to fight with. It tried several times to regain the northwest, but was defeated by Tantai Yun. Countless troops were lost and the treasury became increasingly empty, making it difficult to support the war.

In the third year of Tianbao, Tantaiyun led his army to invade Shuzhou and defeated the imperial army. In just one year, he pacified sixteen barbarian tribes in southern Xinjiang. The land was formally separated and a country was established, with Xijing as the capital, and the country was named Dazhou.

Until Xuansheng led the Taoist sect to defeat the Confucian sect and Daxuan replaced Dawei, Dazhou was still separatist in the northwest. At this time, Qin Xiang had changed from a guilty official of the Wei Dynasty to a hero of the Daxuan Dynasty, and once again led his army to regain the northwest.

Tantaiyun saw that the situation was no longer feasible, so he reached an agreement with Xuansheng and left for the Western Regions. As a result, the Tantai family was also divided into two branches, one was the Confucian Tantai family, and the other was the Taoist Tantai family. Zhang Yuelu's mother, Tantai Qiong, was born in the Confucian Tantai family and married into the Taoist family. , and became a Taoist disciple. As for the Taoist Tantai family, they went overseas and were said to have taken root in the Western Continent.

After the Daxuan court recovered the northwest, they rested for ten years, raised troops again to defeat the Jinzhang, regained Xizhou, and established the Xizhou Protectorate, thus establishing the territory it has today.

Taking into account that Xijing was once the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Daxuan court changed Xijing and Xizhili into mansions, which is today's Xijing mansion.

Qinzhou Daofu and Wuxu Palace are both located in Xijing Prefecture. Wuxu Palace was once the royal palace of the Daqi Dynasty, and was later occupied by Tantaiyun, and later fell into the hands of Daomen. It is said that there used to be a cave in Wuxu Palace, but now it has disappeared. I don’t know whether it was broken or due to other reasons.

Difei Mountain is located just outside Xijing City. Basically, you enter Xijing's territory after exiting Difei Mountain.

Although Qi Xuansu didn't know that Uncle Feng was chasing him, or that he had accidentally escaped Feng Bo's two pursuits, he didn't forget about the "Tianting" thing, so he still took precautions. Along the way, Go wherever there are more people. Because the more people there are, the greater the power of the government and Taoist sects, and the less masters of secret societies dare to act rashly. If the person coming is not a master, but just an ordinary person, then Qi Xuansu can handle it himself.

After Feng Bo knew Qi Xuansu was heading to Xijing through some mysterious induction, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart. This guy was too slippery and kept his hands free, and he just got into these tricky places.

Although Xijing Mansion is not as scary as Difei Mountain, it cannot be ignored. It is not difficult for him to hide his identity and sneak into Xijing Mansion, nor is it dangerous. But if you kill people in Xijing City, you have to take some risks. And there is only one chance to take action. No matter whether you succeed or not, you must retreat in time, otherwise you are likely to fall into danger.

Feng Bo identified Qi Xuansu as a member of the Taoist sect or the imperial court, so he preconceived that Qi Xuansu could ask for help from the Taoist sect and the imperial court. The Taoist sect and the imperial court would definitely not sit idly by. However, he did not know that Qi Xuansu was a fake, so after many considerations, Fengbo still decided Deciding to take action in Xijing City, he really didn't want to wait any longer.

One thing happened late, and Qi Xuansu escaped in front of his eyes twice. Who knows if there will be a third time.

Secondly, it won't get any better if you keep going. Qinzhou is no different from Yongzhou, Xizhou, Liangzhou and other places. It is already within the scope of the ancient Central Plains and is densely populated. It was also the core sphere of influence of Quanzhen Tao. It was almost every three steps and one sentry post, and every five steps and one sentry post. He could tell that this kid would probably go to the front line of Beimang Mountain. This is the famous Quanzhen Taoist mountain next to Difei Mountain. It was the foundation of Zhige Zaodao next to the Taomen. Huashengtang set up three huge workshops here, as well as one that was followed by Longmen Mansion and Wanxiang Taoist Palace. In terms of sphere of influence, because of the transcendent status of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, before being promoted to a fourth-grade Taoist priest, they would come to the upper palace of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace for further training. They have already entered the core area of ​​influence of the Taoist sect, and it will be difficult to escape.

The third is that the connection between the two is getting weaker and weaker, and the time left for the magical power is running out. If he doesn't take action at this time, he is afraid that he will be lost.

Feng Bo made up his mind, whether it was success or failure, this was the last fight. If it can be done, then of course it would be best. If it doesn't work, then forget it, cut off a similar head, burn it into charcoal, and then take it back to replenish the number. This will be an explanation to the subordinates and will not really cause people to lose their hearts.

At this time, Qi Xuansu finally arrived in Xijing City.

As the accompanying capital of the previous dynasty, the former capital of the Daqi Dynasty, and the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, Xijing's style cannot be compared with that of Xiping Prefecture and Tianshui Prefecture, and it is also far from Shangqing Prefecture and Jiangling Prefecture located in the south of the Yangtze River. Although Jinling Mansion may be slightly better in terms of prosperity, when it comes to majestic atmosphere, it is still inferior.

Qi Xuansu looked up at the Xijing city wall, which covered the sky and could not be seen. It was said that six horses could run parallel on it. Only such a city wall could place artillery and ballistae, which made people marvel.

The feeling of thousands of years of vicissitudes is overwhelming.

This city has witnessed the rise and fall of many dynasties.

What a majestic city.
