At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 192 Riding a Tiger and Being Difficult to Dismount
Inside the knife-grinding hall.

The void around him vibrated, and invisible sharp edges appeared, colliding and annihilating each other, giving rise to new life.

The Jingzhe Knife on the knees emitted a terrifying murderous aura, impacting the void around it.

Fortunately, Xiao Han was able to divert some of his attention to control this power, otherwise the Grinding Knife Hall would have been torn apart in an instant.

The boundless power of heaven and earth descended from the sky, tearing the sky thousands of feet apart and submerging the entire Grinding Hall.

The wind and snow blew violently, and a strange scene occurred. A huge vacuum zone appeared above the Modao Hall.

Not a piece of snow can enter, not a trace of wind can blow in.

Outside the Marquis’ Mansion.

No one noticed.

Only the masters in the Marquis' Mansion can sense this terrifying power of heaven and earth.

Shen Pei, who was originally guarding the door, looked up at the sky, with a hint of shock on his cold face.

Without any hesitation, he sat cross-legged at the door of the knife sharpening hall, holding his long sword horizontally, and began to comprehend the power of heaven and earth.

From Zhixuan to the celestial phenomena, there is a huge barrier. In the world, if there are a hundred people who can point to Xuanwu, only one of them can break through the shackles and set foot on the celestial phenomena.

If you wish to enter the celestial realm, you must first cultivate the five energies in your chest to perfection before you can enter the realm of resonance between heaven and man.

Use human heart to comprehend the way of heaven.

Such a majestic power of heaven and earth is a great opportunity for warriors below the Celestial Realm.

of course.

Specifically referring to Zhi Xuanwu Fu. After all, under Zhi Xuan, he hasn't even touched the threshold of Tianxiang Realm, let alone comprehending the power of heaven and earth.

Even Yu Wen Yulou stopped, sat cross-legged, and freed his mind to feel this terrifying and illusory power.

Inside the knife-grinding hall.

Xiao Han sat cross-legged regardless of day or night, immersed in the practice of controlling the way to destroy the immortals.

Three days later.

The power of heaven and earth began to weaken, and the remaining blood-red ocean in his sea of consciousness transformed into the last dragon, which was swallowed and refined by him.

At this point, the sea of consciousness regained clarity, and the man sitting cross-legged in it opened his eyes, and the next moment.

The sky and earth in the sea of consciousness cracked apart, followed by a terrifying blade light that tore through the sky, and blood rained down between heaven and earth.

Countless miserable wails echoed in my ears, accompanied by angry roars, and corpses fell from the sky one after another.

The boundless immortal light collapsed, and the heaven and earth were dyed blood red.

Xiao Han closed his eyes.

After a while.

Open it again.

Another sword cut down the sky and earth.

He repeated this process over and over again. After each strike, he would comprehend the whole thing before striking the second time.

The Three Wild Wind Swords are not a sword technique, nor a sword move, but a state of mind, the most superior sword spirit in the way of swordsmanship.

As one progresses in martial arts training, the state of mind becomes more and more important. Some people can kill with their Vajra Finger, some can kill with their Finger Xuan, and some, with their cultivation at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, die at the hands of martial artists at lower levels.

There are differences in physique, internal strength and martial arts techniques.

But the more advanced the martial arts, the higher the requirement for the state of mind. Only in this way can a more powerful killing power be exerted.

The three whirlwind swords represent the path to the human world, the path to hell, and the path to destroying immortals.

One sword kills the body, one sword shatters the soul, and one sword destroys the immortal.

The three states of mind each have their own mysteries, but in terms of the strongest killing power, it must be the Immortal Destruction State.

Time passes day by day.

Outside the knife-grinding hall.

a few days later.

The terrifying power of the field completely dissipated and returned to peace.

The confrontation between Xiliang, Jizhou and Northern Wei continued. Xiliang continued to transfer troops from the three guards of Shatuo and the six guards of Xue Yan to keep putting pressure on Xie Xuanli.

The daily consumption of the huge amount of money in the treasury was extremely terrifying, but no one had any intention of backing down.

If the Western Liang cavalry did not retreat, Xie Xuanli would not dare to retreat. If Xie Xuanli did not retreat, the Northern Wei would not dare to retreat, and did not want to retreat.

It seemed that the Northern Wei Dynasty had guessed Xiao Han's thoughts, and an army of 200,000 marched southwards, stationed at the border between Jizhou and the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Every half an hour, scouts from Jubei City would go to Jizhou to report the news and ask for military equipment, food and supplies.

At this moment.

Xie Xuanli is now in a difficult situation.

I can’t retreat. I dare not retreat.

They could only grit their teeth and continue to send more troops. Outside the Tianxian Pass on the western front, Chen Qingzhao commanded 190,000 cavalry, while the Xiliang cavalry inside the pass were around 120,000.

At this moment.

The situation has changed.

The purpose of Chen Qing summoning these 190,000 cavalry was no longer to attack Xiliang, but to guard against the 120,000 cavalry from Tianxian Pass from entering Jizhou.

In various places in Xiliang, huge granaries were opened, and carts of grain and fodder were sent along the broad official roads to Tianxian Pass, Qimen Pass and Qingyou Pass.

Some of these grains are even two or three years old.

It's just the right time to free up the warehouse to store this year's new grain.

In the counties of Xia Pi and Shang Dang, countless fertile fields are reclaimed every year, and the annual harvest is increasing.

Xiliang has no shortage of food.

There is no shortage of people.

Ten days have passed since Xiao Han went into seclusion.

In the small courtyard.

Miaoyu, Cao Ruixue and Ning Xi are discussing something.

"A secret report from Jizhou yesterday."

Miaoyu took out a memorial and handed it to the girl, "Xie Xuanli has started recruiting soldiers, and food and grass are becoming scarce."

After Ning Xi read the memorial, he handed it to Cao Ruixue.

"We have calculated Jizhou's reserves."

Cao Ruixue said: "If there is no support from the court and other places, the consumption of 400,000 troops can only last until the end of June at most."

Xie Xuanli is currently recruiting soldiers, and he will certainly increase taxes, so let's assume he can hold out for two months."

"By September at the latest, we will not be able to hold out. We will have to waste more than a year of farming, and the harvest will definitely be poor. When winter comes, Jizhou will be full of starving people."

"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame them for being born in Jizhou."

The girl's face was resolute. "What we need to do is to take good care of the people of Xiliang. As for the people outside of Xiliang, we can't care so much."

"Sister Yu'er, how long can the food we have last?"

She looked at Miaoyu.

"Enough for an army of 200,000 to consume for three years."

Miaoyu raised her lips, "Xie Xuanli must have thought that we would withdraw our troops on our own initiative during the spring plowing season."

"Don't withdraw."

The girl shook her head: "We finally got the chance, we must let Xie Xuanli bleed hard, and have all the silver and money departments of the prefectures and the business travel departments of the prefectures go to the Central Plains to purchase food and fodder."

First, it can replenish our food reserves, and second, it can prevent Jizhou from purchasing food."

"If Xie Xuanli gets desperate, he might send cavalry south to seize our convoy. Let Huluxu keep a close eye on the Jizhou garrison on the border of Liangqing."

"no problem."

Miaoyu nodded.

"And there is Qingzhou Hou there."

She said, "Xie Xuanli might borrow food from him."

"I have already sent someone to say hello to the Marquis of Qingzhou." The girl raised her lips and said, "It is impossible for Jizhou to get too much food and grass from Qingzhou."

This confrontation.

Who retreats first?

Whoever bleeds.

Whoever can hold on to the end is the winner.

The thirteenth day.

The door of the Grinding Hall, which had been closed for a long time, opened, and a man in a white robe walked out.

The wind and snow gradually subsided.

Sparse.

At the entrance of the Grinding Hall.

All the women are here.

"Congratulations, husband, on your release."

The young girl Ning Xi smiled with bright eyes.
