Chapter 223: Conquering the World
Zhongjue Hall.

Ever since the emperor went into seclusion to recuperate and practice, the fourth prince, Prince Qin, finally got the coveted position of regent.

He sat on the throne with mixed feelings.

just.

There are still many troubles to be solved right now.

There were powerful enemies outside and inside, the King of Jin, the King of Yan and the White Robe Army of Northern Liang were in rebellion.

"Dear ladies!"

The King of Qin asked loudly: "What should we do next?"

Ming Qingfeng, the former Minister of War, followed Jin Prince Cao Huan in rebellion.

The new Minister of War was Mu Fengchun, who had followed Sun Xiangzong for many years, resigned and retired, and returned to the court not long ago.

"Your Highness."

Mu Fengchun said slowly, "The most urgent task is to deal with the affairs of Liangzhou. Whether it is the King of Jin or the King of Yan, or the enemy from other countries, they just took advantage of the rebellion of the White Robes and took advantage of the opportunity to invade. Whether it is to kill them or to recruit them, as long as Liangzhou is pacified, the world will naturally return to peace. In my opinion, General Lu should hold on to Liangzhou first and wait for the court to send the immortal master and the Central Plains troops to Chunqiu Mansion, the gateway to the northern border, to fight against the rebels."

"quick!"

The King of Qin commanded: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and send a message to General Lu. As long as he can defend Liangzhou City, I will submit a memorial to my father and confer him the title of Duke!"

……

Liangzhou City.

The two sides have been in a stalemate for more than half a month.

Lu Ji held his ground and refused to come out. At the same time, he ordered Nie Yuan and others to spread the news to shake the morale of the rebels.

"Brothers!"

Third Senior Brother Nie Yuan said earnestly, "I have received news that His Majesty will soon execute the thief Yan and restore order to the court. Brothers, you can go home now. Why do you have to continue risking your lives?!"

"General Nie!"

Xu Wencai sat on the four-wheeled cart and ordered his disciple Qi Cheng to push him to the bottom of the city wall: "How come the news I got is different from yours?! Now I am rising up in the rebel army in response to the call of the King of Jin and the King of Yan. We are obeying the will of heaven to quell the rebellion and clear the emperor's side. It is justified!"

"King of Jin, King of Yan?"

Nie Yuan frowned: "What are you talking about?!"

"General Nie will soon know what Xu is talking about, so go back and wait for the news!"

After Xu Wencai finished his conversation, he left slowly.

Nie Yuan left the tower in confusion.

When he arrived at the central military tent, he just happened to hear a eunuch reading a secret letter.

The emperor remained in seclusion, the kings of Jin and Yan rose up in arms, the kings of Qin and Qi, together with the Yan Party, seized control of government, and the whole country was outraged...

“How could this happen?!”

Nie Yuan snatched the secret letter and read it himself: "It was the fourth brother, he must have been the one who did it, what a good trick, the court sent him to the capital at the beginning, just to use him as a hostage, but unexpectedly, he messed up the situation and dragged everyone into the water.

“If that’s the case.

“Then my junior brothers and their group really have a good reputation.

"Big Brother, what should we do? There is not much food in the city. I am afraid we can't hold out until reinforcements from other places arrive."

Lu Ji didn't rush to speak, but stared at the chessboard quietly. After a long time, he gathered the chess pieces and said, "Tell them to let Lao Wu come in for negotiations. I am considering opening the city and surrendering."

That night.

Fifth brother Meng Guangxin ignored all obstructions and rushed into the city with great momentum, but was detained and there was no news of him for several days.

"The bald donkey is most likely dead!"

Wang Zhi was furious: "Second Brother, it's all your fault. You insisted that we should try to negotiate. Now, the three-surnamed slave will definitely refine the fifth brother!"

"Ugh!"

Second Senior Brother Cheng Wei stamped his feet and sighed, "I have no other choice. Although they don't have much food and grass, the city of Liangzhou is strong. If a fight breaks out, it will take a while to capture it. The brothers in the city are all our own people. Do we really have to kill each other?
"Moreover.

"If things get really desperate, what will happen to the people in the city?!

"If you ask me, it's all Old Five's fault. He's the one who usually scolds the eldest brother the most. Now, if it was me who went to negotiate, I would definitely not be detained!"

"Okay, then you go!"

"I'm not going!"

"..."

"Brothers, it's done."

Chen Sanshi interrupted, "Since you refuse to open the city gates, then we have no choice but to do it ourselves. Pass the order down, and the entire army will close in and surround the city. After ten days, I will be the vanguard and begin the siege."

A hammer is fixed.

October.

Heavy rain fell in Beiliang.

Dark clouds hung low, as if they would crush the city at any time. There was no light in the sky, and the air was filled with a dull atmosphere. The sound of wind mixed with thunder echoed in the sky. The rain poured down, hitting the ground as densely and violently as thousands of arrows, making a deafening sound. The streets were instantly flooded by the rain, and the water gathered into a small river. Mud and gravel rolled away with the rain, and the entire northern border was shaking.

After the autumn harvest.

The defenders in Liangzhou City had completely missed the time to receive food and grass from various prefectures. The food and grass in the city had been exhausted. If they wanted to hold on, they would either have to eat people or rob the granaries of the people and the sects. Even if they did so, they could not delay for a few days.

The Northern Liang uprising army gathered 60,000 soldiers and horses, like a tide, and completely surrounded the city of Liangzhou.

A man in white robes rode a white horse and came to the city wall alone. He did not roar loudly, but his voice still sounded louder than thunder and resounded in every corner of Liangzhou City: "Brothers in the city, listen up!

"Your Majesty has neglected state affairs, allowing treacherous ministers to take power, and allowing the King of Qin and his party to wreak havoc on the world!
"We, the Beiliang righteous army, responded to the call of King Jin, obeyed the will of Heaven to quell the rebellion, and purged the emperor's side. We are the army of justice, while you indulge in stupidity and are the army of injustice!

"Now, the food and grass in the city are exhausted. I will give you the last half day. If you don't open the city and surrender, you can only wait to be trampled to pieces by a hundred thousand cavalrymen!"

The ultimatum was issued.

Then Xu Wencai and others took turns to persuade him to surrender, with nothing more than "comrades in arms" and "why not rush to fight each other"

The officers and soldiers guarding the city all had solemn expressions on their faces.

At noon, the sound of war drums mixed with thunder. The dim sky occasionally lit up under the illumination of lightning, illuminating the rebels lined up in battle formation outside the city. It was terrifying and the atmosphere became even more solemn and heavy.

The man riding a white robe and a white horse, leading two thousand soldiers and horses to form the vanguard, was going to lead the way and personally attack the city first.

"Om-long——"

At this moment, the sound of the Liangzhou city gate opening mixed with thunder was heard, and Lu Ji, with a tall figure wearing scarlet armor, a crown on his head and a Fang Tian Huaji in his hand, rode the scarlet fiery warhorse and walked out of the city slowly alone.

"A slave with three surnames?!"

"Let Lao Wu out!"

Wang Zhi and others in the army were about to draw their swords.

But Chen Sanshi, who was at the front, raised his arm, signaled them to retreat, and then rode his warhorse alone to meet them.

There was a heavy rain and thunder and lightning.

A man in white robe and riding a white horse.

A man with red armor and a red horse.

The two men were only seven steps apart, facing each other in the air.

"Junior brother."

Lu Ji spoke, just in time for only the two of them to hear: "Does it have to be this way?"

Chen Sanshi said calmly: "It has to be this way."

"You can't win."

Lu Ji said in a deep voice: "The imperial court has an immortal sect behind it. The immortal sect will soon hire immortal masters such as the 'Master of Formation' and martial artists of the True Power Realm from the martial arts families. Your Majesty will soon succeed in building the foundation. You can't win. It's not too late to stop now. With me here, no one will die."

"I'm a hunter."

Chen Sanshi calmly replied: "Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back."

"It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin, then..."

Lu Ji paused, and his voice suddenly rose: "Let me see how capable you are!

"Chen Sanshi!"

All of a sudden.

His voice resounded through heaven and earth, shaking the rain curtain, and the 100,000 people present could all hear it clearly.

"you're right!
"We all came from Beiliang, there is no need to kill each other!

"In that case, how about we make a gentleman's agreement?!"

Gentleman's agreement?

"Sanshi, don't listen to the slaves of the three surnames!"

Wang Zhi and others gave reminders.

"Big brother."

Chen Sanshi looked at him and said, "Please speak."

"You and I will fight it out here, regardless of life or death, and no third person is allowed to interfere."

Lü Ji's powerful call spread throughout the world:
“If I win, you will strip yourself of your title and military power, send your wife and children to the capital, and then hand over the Dragon Scripture to quell this chaos!

"If I lose, I will withdraw my troops and hand over Liangzhou City to you! How do you think?!"

"Junior brother, no!"

Cheng Wei and others gave advice.

"You are a slave of three surnames, practicing evil methods. I don't know what kind of traps you have dug!"

"..."

however.

Everyone only heard the man in white robe agreeing in a soul-stirring voice: "Okay! It's a deal!"

The rain is getting heavier

The waterfall-like rain blocked people's vision. In the waterfall, they could only vaguely hear the neighing of war horses like dragons, and vaguely see purple light rising step by step until it turned into a twisted dragon elephant. Then a fire dragon suddenly appeared in the water curtain, and the scorching flames evaporated the rain and stirred up a thick fog in the sky, and it rushed head-on into the incense dragon elephant.

"Boom!"

Lightning flashed across the sky again, and the Longdan Silver Spear and Fang Tian Huaji kept colliding. The deafening sound mixed with thunder, shaking the earth.

October 8, the seventy-sixth year of the Longqing reign.

Chen Sanshi in white robe and Lu Ji in red armor fought for thirty-six rounds outside the city of Liangzhou. In the thirty-seventh round, Chen Sanshi in white robe shot a spear through Lu Ji's chest, knocking him off his horse and returning victorious.

The man in white robe is the true spear master of Sun Xiangzong, no one objects to that.

The next day.

Both parties abide by the agreement.

The three battalions of Xuanwu, Baihu and Tianshi withdrew from Liangzhou City under the leadership of Nie Yuan.

Since then.

The white-robed soldiers entered Liangzhou City and firmly held Youzhou and Liangzhou. They had an army of 100,000 men and were always ready to march south to purge the emperor.

……

The heavy rain that lasted for several days finally subsided.

The troops of the Xuanwu and other three battalions withdrew in an orderly manner on the official road that was full of puddles and mud.

Third Senior Brother Nie Yuan lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Big Senior Brother, how are you?"

Lu Ji, shirtless, was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, his face pale and he was biting a bandage to bandage himself. The wound was located under his left chest, only half an inch away from his heart.

"In terms of spear skills alone, Junior Brother has already shown signs of surpassing Master."

Nie Yuan sighed: "But he was too cruel. Senior Brother never thought of taking his life!"

Lu Ji suddenly said, "Why do you think the wound is so severe, only half an inch away?"

"..."

Nie Yuan was silent for a moment: "Big Brother, Junior Brother is a monster. I'm afraid no one in the world can compare to Junior Brother in terms of martial arts talent. Even Master was far inferior to him in the past, so you don't have to be depressed."

"If you lose, you lose."

Lu Ji sneered dejectedly: "It seems that Master did not choose the wrong person."

During the conversation.

His pupils suddenly lit up with purple light, and for a moment he seemed to have turned into another person. Then he pressed his head with one hand, and his face twisted in pain.

"That evil spirit again?!"

Seeing this, Nie Yuan said with a worried look: "Big Brother, you must never practice the evil way again! That evil obstacle disturbs your mind day and night. If you continue like this, sooner or later you will become a demon!"

"It's too late."

After about a cup of tea, the symptoms gradually subsided, and Lu Ji said with relief: "From the moment I established communication with him, it was already too late. The evil god has no retreat."

"Eldest brother?!"

Nie Yuan's pupils widened, and his tone was filled with anger as if he had been deceived: "Are you really going to become a demon?"

"Third brother, cough cough..."

Lu Ji did not give a direct answer, but sat in the bumpy carriage, looking at the sunset outside the window: "To be honest, I still don't think I was wrong about what happened back then.

"I do not understand.

"In this world, apart from my fellow disciples and relatives, what does the life and death of others have to do with me? Why should I care? The strong prey on the weak, which is the truth of this world."

"Keng——"

Nie Yuan, who had been following the eldest senior brother, drew his sword when he heard this: "Boss! If you use this as an excuse to become a demon, don't blame me for turning against you!"

Lu Ji ignored him and continued to speak: "But I respect my master.

“Since Master said it was wrong, then the lunchbox must be wrong.

"I, Lu Ji, can swear that in this life, I will only kill enemies and not kill living beings, so you can rest assured."

"..."

Hearing this, Nie Yuan slowly put down his sword and warned, "But you also have to understand that the evil way of gods can seduce people's minds. A few days ago, I found some books about the way of incense gods.

“It’s clearly written there.

“When you have cultivated the way of the gods to a certain degree, you must follow the path of the god you worship and serve him forever!
"The reason why the evil way of gods is called 'evil' is because the 'gods' they worship are often bloodthirsty and use the lives of living beings as blood. This cannot be changed!

“Further on.

“The evil god can even directly control your mind, so you have no say in the decision!

"Big Brother!

"It's not too late to turn back now and find a way to get incense and holy objects to cleanse your spirit platform and destroy your evil god cultivation."

"enough."

Lu Ji did not listen any further: "I have my own path to follow, no need to say more."

Nie Yuan knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he sighed, stamped his feet, and turned away.

The carriage fell silent, with only the sound of horse hooves and wheels crushing mud. The side effects of the evil spirit came back to haunt him. Lu Ji's body was shaking in pain, but he made no sound. He just closed his eyes and looked within. Above his altar, there was a twisted shrine, which was hazy, evil, and bewitching.

This time, it took half an incense stick of time for everything to slowly calm down.

Lu Ji, with cold sweat all over his forehead, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the distorted and unreal face of the god in front of him, with a hint of disdain and ferocity at the corner of his mouth.

……

Beijing.

Zhongjue Hall.

The regent prince, Prince Qin, sat on the main seat, enjoying the feeling of commanding the government.

"Report——"

A eunuch rushed into the hall in a panic.

"Something bad is going to happen!"

"Ten days ago! General Lu and Chen Sanshi were defeated and seriously injured outside Liangzhou City. In desperation, the three battalions of Xuanwu and other soldiers had to withdraw from Liangzhou!"

"Now Liang and You states have all fallen into the hands of the white robes!"

"What!?"

"Then Lu Ji is also a waste?!"

King Qin was furious: "Isn't it said that he practiced some evil method? He practiced evil methods, but he couldn't beat a martial artist!"

"quick!"

"Find a way to inform His Majesty who is in seclusion!"

"Only Your Majesty can invite the Immortal Master!"

……

Kunlun Mountains.

Cave heaven and blessed land.

This cave is built against the mountain and hidden behind the waterfall. Everything inside the cave is carved out of rock.

But on the hard rocky ground, there grew a small sapling that was half a person's height and as thick as a woman's wrist. Bursts of rich spiritual energy emanated from it, but many of the originally green leaves on the branches had begun to turn yellow, and it looked like it was about to die.

Just as the capital was shaken.

The news of Lu Ji's defeat and the fall of Liangzhou also reached the cave here.

Due to his injuries, Emperor Longqing looked unhappy and gloomy.

"Your Majesty, the dragon's body is the most important."

The other party didn't speak, but Huang Hong could feel the overwhelming wrath of the dragon.

Within just one month, first the White Robes rebelled, then the Prince of Yan joined forces with Xunxian Tower to assassinate the king, and the Princes of Qin and Qi were only concerned with fighting for power, turning the entire court into a mess. The world was in chaos, and anyone would be furious.

"The child does not teach, the father too."

Emperor Longqing closed his eyes, clearly blaming himself, but it made everyone in the blessed land feel like they could hardly breathe: "Over the years, I have focused on cultivation and governing state affairs, and completely forgot to properly train the crown prince. I am ashamed of my ancestors."

this incident.

It would be fine if Prince of Yan Cao Zhi joined forces with Xunxian Tower.

What makes people most infuriated are the two idiots, the King of Qin and the King of Qi.

He actually believed the slander and tried to assassinate Cao Huan, the Prince of Jin, forcing the Prince of Jin to leave the capital with the Prince of Yan. This caused an uproar in the world and ruined a good plan.

"Your Majesty, this is the end of it."

Huang Hong had served the master for decades and understood his master's thoughts best: "Your Majesty needs to remain in seclusion, so the affairs of the court can only be handed over to them. Fortunately, there is the help of the immortal master of Shengyun Sect. According to the date, someone should come."

Soon after the words were spoken, the sound of a waterfall was heard from outside.

Soon, three monks came into the cave.

"Dao Xuan Sanren, the formation master of Shengyun Sect, greets His Majesty the Emperor of Dasheng."

"Ling Yun from the Ling family of Tianshuizhou martial arts, on behalf of the Ling family, came to visit fellow Taoists."

The last person.

It was Li He, a cultivator of the Li family who had met the emperor before. He looked at the old emperor with a hint of mockery on his face: "Fellow Daoist Cao Kai, if you had listened to me earlier and eliminated the three white-robed stones, there wouldn't be such a turmoil today?"

"Haha~"

Emperor Longqing was not angry, but said awkwardly: "Next, I will trouble you fellow Taoists to perform your duties and overcome the difficulties ahead. Huang Hong, I will continue to retreat, and you can arrange the rest."

"Master, don't worry, I understand."

Huang Hong made a gesture of invitation and led several immortal masters out.

"My Ling family's ancestor has personally gone to Mangshan to guard it. Our ancestral vein will definitely not fall into the hands of the thieves in Luoye Valley."

Ling Yun said calmly: "And I, together with Senior Li He, will lead other cultivators to help fellow Taoists suppress the rebellion in the north and resist foreign invasion."

"Masters, are you sure?"

Huang Hong reminded calmly: "That white-robed Chen Sanshi is a good fighter. In just a few years, he has fought many battles in the south and the north. He is invincible. In particular, he has a kind of 'Heavenly Book Formation' in his hands, which can affect the celestial phenomena. It is unpredictable and must be guarded against."

At first.

When Fang Qingyun went to Beijing, he handed over a talisman, claiming that it could move the celestial phenomena when combined with the heavenly book formation.

However, after Fang Qingyun made three reports on the White Robe Rebellion, it became self-evident whether it was true or not.

"I have also studied the 'Heavenly Book Formation' carefully."

Daoxuan Sanren, the master of formations, stroked his beard and said confidently, "The formations in there were originally designed for people in the world of immortal cultivation. They just need formation flags and spirit stones to bless them. If Chen Sanshi can use them, I, Daoxuan, can use them too!"

"Sure?"

Huang Hong said: "Chen Sanshi has never used these in his battle formation."

"I know that too." Daoxuan Sanren said with some curiosity, "I guess he probably has some incredible magic weapon in his hand. After he dies, we can take it away!"

"correct."

Ling Yun added: "After all, we are from the world of immortal cultivation. We are not familiar with military tactics. Who should command the overall situation?"

"I have a fellow cultivator."

Daoxuan Sanren said: "His attainment in formations is higher than mine. He was once a mortal and was said to be a master of military tactics. He and Han Xiang from Luoye Valley are chess friends who often play chess. The sect has already offered a bounty. When he returns home from his travels, he will surely be able to rush here immediately. However... it will take time. If we go out right now, how about I take charge?

"To be honest, I have read quite a few military books!"

"This has already been arranged."

Huang Hong said hurriedly: "A few days ago, the court issued an order to ask the other immortal masters to go to the south to guard Nanxu, and instead transferred His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan to deal with the white robe. His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan is not only experienced in battle, but also a warrior in the realm of true strength. He will be a great help to all the immortal masters.

"only……

"Since His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhennan broke through to the realm of true strength, he has gone mad every full moon night. I don't know why, so I would like to ask a few immortal masters for help."

"Oh? Your Dongsheng Continent is short of spiritual energy, but you can actually produce two real force warriors in your native land. This is extremely rare!"

Ling Yun, who came from a martial arts family, was quite interested and said, "Where is the King of Zhennan now? Take me to see him."

"Just rest in the palace in Kunlun Mountain."

Led by eunuch Huang Hong, they were heading towards the palace. Before they arrived, they heard a loud noise coming from the mountain, accompanied by screams.

"Prince Zhennan has gone crazy!"

"Your Highness is crazy!"

"..."

"Boom!"

On the top of the mountain, a figure was running down like a long-hungry beast that had escaped from its cage. He killed anyone he saw on the way. With one punch, a palace maid exploded into a bloody mist. If there was anything blocking the way ahead, he would also smash it with one punch.

Look carefully.

The man was wearing a dragon robe, showing his noble royal status, but his hair was disheveled and his clothes were in disarray. He looked like he had epilepsy and was completely unconscious.

"Your Highness!"

Eunuch Huang Hong was startled and said quickly: "This is what we just said about madness, but in the past it only occurred on full moon nights, why is it happening in broad daylight today?!"

While talking.

Cao Rong, the Prince of Zhennan, had already noticed them. Like a vicious tiger smelling blood, his full energy surged and he attacked with murderous intent.

The true energy emanating from him is even higher than that of the early stage of the true energy realm!
"This is……"

Wu Xiu Lingyun has been practicing martial arts since he was young, and he soon saw the clues: "The disorder of meridians caused by the practice should be controllable. My two Taoist friends, help me."

"All right!"

The other two reluctantly agreed. After all, having one more person to help deal with the white robes would make things safer.

Daoxuan Sanren waved his sleeves, and seven flags of different colors and shining light flew out, drawing a line on the ground as a prison, trapping the ferocious and brutal Zhennan King inside. Then, golden chains extended from the ground and entangled his hands and feet.

Li He of the Li family also summoned his natal flying sword.

Different from ordinary monks.

He once took the foundation-building pill. Although he failed to build the foundation, he was able to continue to improve in the Qi Refining realm until Shouman's death. Now he has the strength of the sixteenth level of Qi Refining.

A sword fell.

It was like a landslide.

"boom!"

Cao Rong roared as his energy emanated wildly, crossing his arms to block, bursts of black evil energy burst out, transformed into true energy to protect his body, and head-on blocked the sword energy.

the other side.

Ling Yun took the opportunity to get closer, holding a few gleaming silver needles in his hand.

With the concerted efforts of the three, and after several rounds, he finally succeeded in inserting the silver needle into the top of the head of the King of Zhennan.

at once.

The bloodshot in Zhennan Prince Cao Rong's pupils dissipated, and the evil spirit on his body slowly disappeared. Finally, his body swayed and fell on his back. About a cup of tea later, he opened his eyes again and regained consciousness.

"How strange!"

Ling Yun placed his hands on the opponent's acupuncture points, feeling the strange phenomenon in the meridians, and said in a low voice: "Brother, can you show me the skills you practice? You don't have to worry, I just need to read a few paragraphs."

"..."

Cao Rong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly came back to his senses. He was also very curious. He had clearly mastered the martial arts and the skills must be real, but why did they have such powerful side effects?

Originally, he even thought that the "Dragon Sutra" was like this, and the White Robe would also go crazy in private. It was not until Beiliang rebelled that he realized that there must be a problem.

Without much hesitation, Prince Zhennan took out a few pages of martial arts techniques and handed them to the other party for review.

"Your technique..."

Ling Yun only took a few glances and saw the problem, with anger showing on his face.

"This brother?"

Cao Rong had just regained consciousness, his voice still a little hoarse: "Is my technique fake?"

"No, the technique is real."

Ling Yun cursed, "I just don't know who is so vicious! He actually messed up the order of the exercises. Normally, the opening of the Jingshen starts from the skull, not from the feet!

"and many more……"

He suddenly realized something and looked at the King of Zhennan in disbelief, "You, you took the disordered technique and succeeded in practicing it?!!"

"Disordered?"

Cao Rong stood up hurriedly and asked, "What impact will this have on my future cultivation?"

"The secrets of the human body need to be opened in order. If you forcefully open the Eight Scenery Gods while you are confused, it will be equivalent to blocking your way forward. In simple terms, you will only be in the early stage of the True Power Realm in this life and will never be able to advance an inch."

Ling Yun sighed again: "There is actually someone in this world who practices martial arts incorrectly and has stepped into the realm of true power. What a talent this is. I'm afraid it's not worse than Chen Sanshi who has only practiced martial arts for a few years. It's a pity... It's ruined like this!"

"The road ahead is blocked?!"

Hearing this, Cao Rong was struck by lightning, staggered back a few steps, and then suddenly stepped forward: "Is there any way to remedy this?!"

He originally just wanted to practice martial arts in peace, so he was unwilling to participate in the open and secret struggles in the court. He chose to leave the capital and go to the southern border to guard it. Later, he practiced martial arts every day for twenty years.

After the Martial Saint.

He has practiced nearly a hundred different weapons!
The purpose is just to increase the true Qi a little bit!
He finally obtained the legendary martial arts technique that was above that of a martial saint and came into contact with an immortal who could go even further, but now he was told that the road ahead was blocked? !

"Don't panic."

Ling Yun seemed to appreciate the other party's talent, and patiently told him: "If you can get the original version of the skills, and use it with the treasures of heaven and earth to refine yourself, there is still a slim hope that you can practice normally.

“Also, one thing is, although you are unable to continue to improve your realm now, the true power you just displayed is much higher than that of the ordinary early true power realm.

"I have also opened the fourth of the Eight Scenic Spots of the Central Region. Together with Daoxuan Sanren and Daoist Li He, we can work together to wipe out the so-called rebel army and kill the white robes. It shouldn't be a problem."

"Chen Sanshi, Fang Qingyun!"

Cao Rong, the Prince of Zhennan, was furious: "I will kill you!"

……

Liangzhou.

The Northern Liang Army, which inherited the orthodox tradition, entered the city.

From today on, this is Chen Sanshi’s real home, and no one can transfer him away.

The families who had been placed in a safe place outside the city also returned one after another.

There was no need to hide the use of spirit beads for cultivation, and one could do it openly in the pavilion by the lake in the back mountain.

[Kung Fu: Fire Swallowing Technique. Qi Refining Level 3]

【Progress: 566/800】

By the time Chen Sanshi finds time to refine more pills, his breakthrough to the middle stage of Qi Refining will be not far away. However, the speed of the "Dragon Sutra" is very slow, and it takes an average of five to six months to open a Jingshen.

Even though this speed was extremely fast, it was still too slow for him.

because……

The emperor is going to build his foundation!

Under the strategy of the fourth senior brother, Xunxianlou had a battle with the old emperor and successfully slowed down his foundation-building time, but he could not stop him after all.

It was impossible for him to reach the capital or Kunlun Mountains immediately.

Therefore, while going south to fight, he could not neglect his cultivation.

I still have to find some time to go to the world of immortal cultivation again, find the Bai family to complete the transaction, and then see if I can get some elixirs from them that can speed up the cultivation of the true power realm.

War is not a matter of overnight, especially sieges, which can take months or even years. The two can be carried out simultaneously without any delay.

Moreover, after Chen Sanshi practiced the "Fire Swallowing Art" to the fourth level, even when he entered the middle stage of Qi Refining, he could fly objects, which could save a lot of time going back and forth.

Put away your thoughts.

He calculated the time and thought that all the generals in the city should have arrived, so it was time to make a comprehensive plan for the next major move.

In the military camp, inside the central army tent.

Except for the generals who had to guard important places, most of them gathered here.

"Xu Wencai, map."

Chen Sanshi walked into the tent in a hurry.

"See the Marshal!"

All the generals clasped their fists and spoke in unison.

The title of commander-in-chief is no longer necessary.

Whether there is an imperial court or not, he is now the commander of 100,000 cavalry.

"My lord, please take a look."

Xu Wencai had already prepared everything.

In front of them, there was a map that was more than ten feet long, and on it was the entire world!
In less than two months, the world has changed dramatically and everything needs to be re-examined and replanned.

After the man in white robe sat down on the commander's seat.

Xu Wencai took the feather fan and began to summarize the current situation to all the generals:

"Marshal, everyone.

“The world is in chaos now!

“First, let’s talk about ourselves.

"Now, my Beiliang orthodoxy has Hongze... Great Halberd, eight battalions of soldiers, plus the garrison soldiers that surrendered in Youzhou not long ago, with a total force of 140,000, dominating the 61 prefectures of Liang and Youzhou.

“Then, there are the remaining three countries.

"Nanxu's 500,000-man army, under the command of Grand Master 'Zhonghu', began a large-scale attack on the south, while the Dasheng court sent the Immortal Master and 'Mr. Mo' to guard the area.

"After the 200,000-strong army of Western Qi entered Mingzhou, they wanted to go south into the Central Plains to seize Mangshan, while at the same time going north out of Jianmen Gorge to attack Yanzhou.

"Right now, there are only three battalions in Yanzhou: Tiance, Anshan, and Hubao. Plus a small number of garrison troops, so we are attacked from both sides. Soon, we will be able to seize control of the Tiance Battalion. As for the Anshan and Hubao Battalions, they will most likely not be able to withstand the pressure and will withdraw from Yanzhou, flee to the Central Plains, and then join forces with the Du Biao Army to fight against the Western Qi army in Mangshan.

“Let’s talk about Dongqing.

“Not long ago, the Empress of Dongqing abdicated to the King of Shen Zhou, who also cooperated with the Immortal Master. In just two months, they took over the three states including Ziwei Mountain that were recovered just a few years ago, and also took over Yunzhou, which is adjacent to our Youzhou.

"Then the King of Jin and the King of Yan, who are located next to Lingzhou in Ziwei Mountain, have occupied three states and have 80,000 soldiers. However, their geographical location is not good. I estimate that they will soon have to retreat to two states. The situation is not optimistic.

“Finally, there is the imperial court.

“The imperial court is now truly surrounded by enemies on all sides. Except for the troops in the capital and a small number of troops adjacent to the capital, almost all of them have been dispatched.

"In addition, they also brought Cao Rong, the King of Zhennan, and several monks, and gathered 400,000 soldiers from the Central Plains and rushed to the northern border with great momentum."

After listening.

Wang Zhi scratched his head: "What a mess!"

"Yes."

Fan Hailing flattered him, "This is called 'When Sheng loses his white robe, the whole world will chase him'. Without our great commander to keep him in check, all the demons and monsters in the world will come running out!"

"That's natural."

Xu Wencai followed up with a sentence, and then continued in a serious tone: "Since our Beiliang Army has revolted, we naturally cannot stay in one corner and must find a way to fight our way out.

"But if we want to enter the Central Plains, we must first capture the 'Chunqiu Prefecture', which is known as the gateway to the Central Plains. That's the problem.

"Now, we are surrounded by enemies on three sides!"

"Yeah yeah."

Fan Hailing complimented again, "Fortunately our Marshal defeated the barbarians two years ago, otherwise we would be surrounded by enemies on all sides."

"..."

Chen Sanshi held his forehead and said, "General Fan, the army has just entered the city. Go and sort out the military affairs. I'll call you back if there's anything else."

"Yes, handsome!"

Fan Hailing took the order and left without saying a word.

"Go on." Chen Sanshi gestured.

"Now we have enemies on three sides, which can be said to be a chain reaction. Once we want to attack any one side, the other two sides will attack our rear, and the current situation is.

"Neither the manpower nor the food supplies are enough to support us to start fighting on three fronts at the same time."

Xu Wencai paused, then continued, "In fact, my advice to you is to build high walls, store up food, and slowly claim the throne."

Chen Sanshi looked at him.

"Yes, I want to be king!"

Xu Wencai analyzed the pros and cons and said, "Before the chaos in the capital, even if you 'cleared the court', you would inevitably be called a traitor afterwards. But after the chaos, the situation is completely different!
"People in the world only saw that the emperor stayed in seclusion and allowed the two kings of Qin and Qi to cause chaos in the court, which led to chaos in the world. This shows that it was not simply because the treacherous officials deceived the emperor, but that the emperor himself was stupid and incompetent!
"In addition, Mr. Fang and I will continue to spread the deep truth of 'Ten Days in Yunzhou' and 'Three Prefectures of Guandu' among the people. As the war intensifies, his true face will slowly be revealed!
"There is no such thing as 'rebels', but rather 'those who are violent and unjust can be attacked by anyone in the world'.

"In order to win over the remaining people, the King of Jin will definitely declare himself emperor.

"We can also become the king of Beiliang. When our strength is accumulated, we can go south, conquer the world, and plan for great achievements!"

A dynasty.

It's really fate.

If the King of Jin were to proclaim himself emperor, no one would agree.

But as time goes by, the original luck will slowly run out and the situation will change.

"No."

However, Chen Sanshi quickly rejected Mr. Wolong's plan for Liangzhou's future "ten years".

because……

too long!
Of course, he could also practice and become stronger, catching up with the emperor's level.

From a big picture perspective, it is indeed a more rational choice to first stabilize the two states, find a way to take over Yanzhou and Yunzhou, and then slowly make plans after occupying the entire northern border.

But don't forget.

There are still ancestral bloodlines in the world!

Once the ancestral vein revives, the seal of heaven and earth will be further damaged, and cultivators of higher realms will flood into Dongsheng Shenzhou, and everything will be lost!
and so.

This is a great battle for the Central Plains.

Can't delay!
If it is dragged on, it will not do any good to Beiliang, to our brothers, or even to the people of the world!

"Two years!"

Chen Sanshi decided on a timetable: "Make a new plan. I want to reach the capital city Chang'an within two years!
"I don't care what you said about becoming king. I don't have time to think about it now, and I have no interest in it.

"I will take Cao Kai's life within two years!"

Hear the words.

The whole place was shocked.

Marching and fighting is a long process.

Both Wang Zhi and the other senior brothers were prepared for a protracted war.

But their junior brother, who is now the commander-in-chief, actually made a bold statement that he would capture the capital within two years.

Two years.

At most, it is enough to fight one or two large battles.

This is a plan to win a quick victory, take the capital directly, and strive for the Central Plains!
