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

Chapter 209: Conquering Youzhou
"If this battle is successful, within ten years, the Northern Wei will be unable to move south, and the several states in the south will be at the mercy of our Western Liang cavalry."

"How about it?"

He smiled and said, "Is what I said the same as what you think?"

"Same as before."

Miaoyu shook her head: "It's just that the young master thinks more deeply. We don't want to surround the point and attack the reinforcements."

"Hehe, Young Master is more thoughtful."

"But the focus of this plan is whether Xie Xuanli agrees to join forces with us."

She was in a dilemma: "After all, we have to ask for the three counties of Youzhou first."

"He will agree."

Xiao Han was extremely confident.

"Because he has no choice. If he agrees, Jizhou can breathe a sigh of relief. If he doesn't agree, Jizhou will definitely break the city."

"Send a message to Lu Ju, asking him to make more noise inside Tianxian Pass in the next few days."

"it is good."

"Miaoyu, this young master will show you something good."

He looked mysterious.

"what?"

Miaoyu blinked.

"Come closer."

he tempted.

When Miaoyu stretched her face towards him, Xiao Han gave her a quick kiss and this time took out a jade box from his sleeve.

"The Buddha's bone relics in Shadow Mountain contain the cultivation of a Buddhist immortal on land."

"In the past two years, you have spent most of your time dealing with official documents, which delayed your practice. It just so happens that you have obtained the Buddha's bone relic, so I will help you refine it."

He handed the jade box over, Miaoyu took it and opened it carefully. The Buddha bone relics inside gave off a heart-pounding vibration.

“Is this the Buddha’s bone relic?”

There was a hint of surprise in her eyes. The fluctuations of cultivation contained in the relics were extremely terrifying.

He reached out and took it out of the jade box, held it in front of his eyes and played with it carefully. It was translucent and exuded a dense luster, just like pearls and jade, extremely exquisite.

"Like it?"

Xiao Han spoke.

"I like it naturally."

Miaoyu smiled and nodded. After playing with the Buddha bone relic for a while, she put it back into the box and closed it.

"You should keep this thing, young master."

She said, "I am in the Marquis' Mansion and rarely go out. I have experts protecting me, so it is not necessary."

"On the contrary, if you can use this Buddha bone relic to break through the barrier of the celestial realm and step into the immortal realm on land."

"Whether it is for the young master or for Xiliang, it will be of great benefit."

Miaoyu said: "At present, Jizhou, Xiliang and Northern Wei are in confrontation, and a war is inevitable. By then, the masters of Northern Wei will surely come out in full force. If you can improve your strength a little more, we will have a better chance of success."

What he said makes sense.

Xiao Han shook his head: "I can't use this thing."

"Why?"

she wondered.

"Although the Buddha's bone relic contains the cultivation of the Buddha's land immortals, it is not compatible with the Three-point Return to Origin Qi that I mainly cultivate. If I refine it rashly, it will not only be useless, but I am afraid it will become the guest's master and ruin my foundation."

he explained.

"Refining this thing can improve your cultivation in a short period of time, but in reality, it is equivalent to giving up your original cultivation and turning to cultivating Buddha power."

It is a pity to throw it away if it is tasteless to eat. To the people of the Demon Sect, the Buddha bone relics are the supreme treasures, but to a gifted child like Xiao Han, they are of little use.

"Sir, can you trust Gong Ye?"

Miaoyu pondered for a moment.

"Of course I can trust it."

He nodded: "Yu'er means to give this Buddha bone relic to him for refining."

"Ah."

Miaoyu nodded: "Gong Ye's Vajra Indestructible Magical Skill is originally a Buddhist martial art, which is just right for the Buddha's bone relics."

"If you give him the Buddha's bone relic, firstly, you can have another master from the land immortal realm to support you, and secondly, you can make him grateful."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

"Good Yu'er, you are indeed the most caring little cotton-padded jacket of this young master." He grinned and his hands began to get naughty.

"Sir, stop making trouble."

Miaoyu's pretty face turned slightly red and her tone was shy.

In the courtyard.

It was still snowing sparsely, and the leaves of bamboo and trees were covered with a little white frost. A biting cold wind blew in.

The flames in the stove flickered, emitting blazing heat.

Had dinner.

Xiao Han went to bed early. He didn't practice martial arts or deal with official documents. He just fell asleep.

He was a little tired.

Under the city of Qingzhou, he fought several great masters in succession, which drained his energy greatly. He slept for three days and three nights.

It was not until the early morning of the fourth day, when the sky was hazy, that the door of the room opened and he stood at the door in a green robe.

In the courtyard.

Qingyao, who was practicing sword, stopped and looked back, "Awake?"

"Ah."

He stretched.

"I'll get you some hot water."

After saying that, he put away his sword and went to the kitchen. After a while, he came back with a basin of hot water, helped Xiao Han wash up, and then made a cup of hot tea.

Only then did he continue practicing sword.

February and March.

It was an extremely cold morning in early spring. The biting wind was howling, blowing up the snow on the ground and creating a hazy mist.

The warm tea went into his stomach and dispelled the sleepiness in his body. He squinted his eyes, lay on the chair, and hummed a little tune.

At noon.

Lu Ju, Xiahou Qing, and Pan Yuanshao came together.

"My Lord, our spies in Orange Island have sent back news."

"The Northern Wei is transporting a large amount of food and military equipment to Orange Island."

Pan Yuanshao looked excited, "If I am not mistaken, in three months at most, the Northern Wei will march south to Jizhou."

"My Lord, we can start moving now."

Xiahou Qing: "I have checked and found that the food reserves in Xiliang are more than enough to sustain this battle."

"Then keep up the pressure."

Xiao Han smiled and nodded: "As long as we don't give in, Chen Qingzhao's 200,000 cavalry and Shuoyin's 100,000 cavalry will not be able to withdraw."

He looked at Lu Ju, "You have been confronting that white-robed soldier fairy for so long at Tianxian Pass, do you have the confidence?"

"Naturally there is."

Lu Ju was eager to try, "But it was just a small fight at first, it's not satisfying."

"Then let go."

He said, "Give him a good fight and let him know the pain."

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis."

Only by putting enough pressure on Northern Wei and Xie Xuanli can we give Northern Wei enough confidence and at the same time force the Marquis of Zhenbei to bow his head to the greatest extent.

After a long discussion, many details were finalized and everyone left. He stood up and walked towards the Knife Sharpening Garden.

In front of the stone house, Tiger Maniac was dancing with a saber in his hand, and the powerful force passed through the blade, creating a strong wind.

Miyano sat on the steps holding a wine jug, and from time to time he would point out the flaws in Hu Chi's swordsmanship.

"Master Hou."

I saw the man in green robe from afar and greeted him with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Hu Chi also stopped, and seeing his own lord, he quickly ran over with a long sword in hand.

"How's your swordsmanship?"

Xiao Han spoke.

"reluctantly."

Tiger Chi scratched his head.

"My disciple is a martial arts prodigy who is a soldier."

Miyano took over the conversation and boasted: "It only takes two days to master the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art. I can learn any sword and knife techniques after just one look."
