Chapter 43: The End of Tianlongbabu (few words, free to read)
The Western Xia changed its name to a vassal of the Jin Dynasty. Later, Emperor Tianzuo of Liao was captured and the Liao Dynasty fell. Yelu Dashi and Xiao Feng led their army westward and established the Western Liao Dynasty in the Western Regions.
After Xin Zhen ascended the throne, he organized his army and prepared for war. In the following year, he sent troops to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. The Jin Dynasty originally wanted to stop the Hua Dynasty army in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. However, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were already in the hands of the Huashan Sect, so how could they withstand it? The Jin Dynasty was defeated in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
The Jin Dynasty repeated its old tricks and joined forces with Western Xia to fight against the Hua army. Xin Zhen went to Lingjiu Palace and joined forces with Tianshan Tonglao to control the Western Xia royal family. The Western Xia royal family pretended to agree to the Jin Dynasty, but instead gave the Jin Dynasty a cruel trick on the battlefield. The Jin Dynasty was defeated again, and this time it was not so easy to explain. The Hua army pursued the Jin Dynasty to the north and completely destroyed it.
At this point, the Hua Dynasty took back all the territory of the Liao Kingdom. Xin Zhen recuperated for a few years. Duan Yanqing took the initiative to come to the court. The Dali Kingdom took the initiative to request to be incorporated into the Hua Dynasty. The Hua Dynasty incorporated the territory of the Dali Kingdom into its territory without bloodshed. However, Xin Zhen did not go too far. He still made the Duan family of Dali a king, which lasted for several generations before Xin Zhen's great-grandson began to reduce the power of the vassal states.
As for Western Xia, five or six years later, the Chinese army marched westward in large numbers, swept across Western Xia, opened up the road to the Western Regions, and established diplomatic relations with Northern Liao.
Xin Zhen did not relax his control over Mongolia. He ordered the Huashan Sect to establish a branch in Mongolia to keep an eye on Mongolia, but if any genius appeared, he would be killed immediately.
During this period, Xin Zhen obtained all the inheritance of the Xiaoyao Sect from Tianshan Tonglao and Li Qiushui. However, there are only the new version of Tianshan Six Yang Palm, Life and Death Talisman, etc., but no more advanced ones.
However, Xin Zhen was also very satisfied. What made him happiest was the Six-Meridian Divine Sword he had obtained before. To be honest, the Six-Meridian Divine Sword was quite interesting. Xin Zhen played with it for a while after he got it.
Xin Zhen even went out of his way to look for the Changchun Valley. The Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts originated from the Changchun Valley, but unfortunately he didn't find it.
In this life, Xin Zhen lived for more than a hundred years. He watched the Hua Dynasty reach its peak. Before his death, he returned to the top of Mount Hua and sat in meditation watching the rising sun. Before his death, he thought, "I wonder if there will be an afterlife. If it is still the world of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, it seems quite boring."
