Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

The only flaw is that this method cannot be practiced for a long time.

Otherwise, the extremely powerful effect will completely erode people's emotions bit by bit.

However, for Yang Zhao at this stage, it is enough.

What Yang Zhao wanted was nothing more than the perfection of the Samsara Sutra.

Once Yang Zhao achieves the fusion of essence, energy and spirit, and the cycle of reincarnation is completed within his body, it will no longer matter whether he has the Tai Shang Scripture of Response or not.

And after having the Great Response Sutra.

Yang Zhao's comprehension of the Tibetan Tantric wisdom book became a natural process, and it didn't take long before he initially achieved the fusion and transformation of spirit and essence.

This way.

Yang Zhao's Reincarnation Sutra was further perfected, and the rotation of reincarnation in his body became much smoother.

Even Yang Zhao could feel it clearly.

It will only take a maximum of seven years for the reincarnation cycle in your body to be truly complete, achieving the goal of automated unlimited growth.

This thing is like Yang Zhao installed a perpetual motion machine inside his body.

It's just like the obstacle-breaking mechanism in One Punch Man.

Before Yang Zhao reaches the limit of his physical potential, his energy and spirit will continue to grow.

Until one day, Yang Zhao's physical potential was exhausted.

This growth will stop.

It does not touch the origin, but can extend infinitely in quantity. It is extremely powerful.

Now Yang Zhao even has the urge to break out of the cage and fight with a top-level martial saint for three thousand rounds.

What Yang Zhao didn't know was.

During the period of Yang Zhao's seclusion, the Song Dynasty was engaged in a decisive battle with hostile forces such as Beiliang, Liao, Jin, and the Mongols on the northern border.

Chapter 320: Speculation on the Death of Beiliang King Xu Xiao

In ancient times, autumn was often a time of harvest and joy for the stable inland areas of the imperial dynasty.

But for the northern border of the Song Dynasty.

After the granaries were filled with food and fodder, what they had to face was the Beiliang army, which also had abundant food and fodder, as well as the crazy looting from the foreign tribes on the grassland in preparation for the cold winter.

Today, the northern border of the Song Dynasty is divided into four battlefields.

The former group of military generals has not yet fully recovered, but their ability to command and fight is not bad. They fought effectively against the Liao army on the Hedong Road battlefield.

Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other four great generals of the Restoration in history fought against the Jin army on the battlefield.

The Northwestern Zhong Family Army and the Zhe Family Army responded to the numerous attempts and attacks from the Mongol Yuan Dynasty after Western Xia was incorporated into the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Shirong, Cao Wei, Di Qing, Zong Ze and others joined forces to deal with the Northern Liang army.

The Liao Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty were all foreign ethnic groups from the grasslands.

Although these foreign races have always been eyeing the Song Dynasty, it is a common occurrence. Without a stalemate of a hundred years, it is difficult to completely destroy one of them.

Because there was no room for easing tensions between the Han people of the Song Dynasty and the ethnic minorities on the grasslands.

Once one side loses, it will inevitably face a crisis of near genocide, and there will be an endless ethnic hatred between the two sides.

But Beiliang is different.

Beiliang was once the land of the Song Dynasty, and more than 90% of its inhabitants were former Song Dynasty citizens. It was a scourge that could be completely eliminated in a short period of time.

Even the Song Dynasty did not need to deal with the people of Beiliang.

As long as the main force of Beiliang on the battlefield is defeated and the rebel leaders such as Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian of Beiliang are eliminated, the entire Beiliang can be easily conquered.

Therefore, the ultimate core of this battle in the northern border is still on the border between the Song Dynasty and Northern Liang.

Town Liangcheng.

This important military town on the border between the Great Song Dynasty and Northern Liang is also where the main force of the Great Song Dynasty is located. It is personally commanded by Zhao Shirong, Cao Wei, Di Qing, Zong Ze and others.

City Lord's Mansion, meeting room.

Zhao Shirong was dressed in military uniform, with a slender long sword on his waist. He and Cao Wei, Di Qing, Zong Ze and others, who were also wearing armor, gathered around a border map.

"General Cao, General Di, Lord Zong, have you noticed that Beiliang's recent actions are very strange?"

"Something is indeed amiss. Perhaps it is showing weakness to the enemy?"

"Not really. After years of fighting, our Song Dynasty Imperial Army has been constantly transformed in the bloody war. We are no longer as weak as before. We can definitely compete with the sharp knife troops such as the Northern Liang Heavy Cavalry and the Phoenix Camp."

"That means there is a problem within Beiliang..."

As the top generals at the peak of the Song Dynasty, Cao Wei, Di Qing and Zong Ze, based on various intelligence coming from the front line and the direction of the war in the past few days, all guessed a possibility almost at the same time.

King Xu Xiao of Beiliang died.

This is actually no secret between the Song Dynasty and Northern Liang.

Xu Xiao was the most vicious, violent, and powerful top general in the Song Dynasty decades ago. He was responsible for destroying half of the countries and his achievements were so great that they frightened the emperor.

However, due to his excessive killing, he was punished by heaven and suffered serious injuries, making it difficult for him to improve his martial arts.

Even before the autumn harvest, there had been several reports on the front battlefield that Xu Xiao was critically ill.

But there are also capable people in Beiliang.

Xu Xiao was critically ill several times, but was saved by people from Beiliang using various methods.

But this time, it was different from the temporary internal unrest in the enemy army before the autumn harvest.

During this wave, for several consecutive days, the morale of the Northern Liang enemy on the battlefield was extremely low. The elite soldiers who were once able to rival the Song Dynasty's imperial guards had suffered four consecutive defeats.

It can be said that if there are two more defeats like this, the Beiliang Army’s defense line will almost collapse completely.

It may even cause direct damage to bones and muscles, from which you may never recover.

If it was just a trick, the Beiliang Army would not have to pay such a heavy price. So after eliminating all the impossibilities, the only possibility was that something really happened to Xu Xiao.

Think of this result.

Cao Wei, Di Qing and Zong Ze quickly looked at each other, and their faces changed. There was indeed no joy at all. Instead, they all showed expressions of great worry.

"Your Highness, the Northern Liang army's counterattack is about to come."

"Yes, Your Highness, please notify the Bianjing Central Government as soon as possible and have Prince Zhao bring the Song Dynasty's resources to come quickly."

"Your Highness, please give orders as soon as possible to have the army defend and strictly prohibit going into battle..."

Zhao Shirong was shocked by the performance of Cao Wei, Di Qing and Zong Ze.

Zhao Shirong did not dare to delay and quickly took out the jade talisman and sent messages to Yang Zhao, Zhao Defang, Fan Zhongyan and others one by one. Then he decisively gave the power of decision-making in the camp to Cao Wei, Di Qing and Zong Ze.

Wait until a series of arrangements are completed.

Zhao Shirong frowned and asked, "General Cao, General Di, Lord Zong, if Xu Xiao of Beiliang is really dead, isn't this a great thing? Why don't we take advantage of the victory and defeat Beiliang in one fell swoop?"

"The army of mourning will win!"

Almost at the same time, Cao Wei, Di Qing and Zong Ze spoke in unison.

Zhao Shirong raised his eyebrows, somewhat confused.

Princess Shuangyang beside Di Qing explained, "Princess Di, if our prediction has come true, then Xu Xiao of Beiliang is dead. Under normal circumstances, the enemy's morale will be greatly damaged and they will be in a state of collapse."

"In that case, we can naturally take advantage of the victory and pacify Beiliang in one fell swoop."

"However, according to the news from the front line, although the Northern Liang army suffered four consecutive defeats in the past few days, their morale was low and their bones were broken, but they did not form a real trend of collapse and still had a strong will to resist."

"In this case, the Prince of Beiliang is still alive."

"If we push the Beiliang army too hard, then the Beiliang prince only needs to raise his arm and call for the Beiliang army, which has been forced into a corner, to come forward with a will to fight to the death."

When marching and fighting, it is not enough to have a smart brain and knowledge, what is more important is experience.

Just like the current situation of the Northern Liang Army.

What Zhao Shirong thought of was to pursue the victory, while veteran generals such as Cao Wei, Di Qing, Zong Ze, and even Princess Shuangyang saw the great crisis before the final victory.

After hearing what Princess Shuangyang said, Zhao Shirong almost broke out in a cold sweat.

The combat effectiveness of the Northern Liang Army, whether it was the Northern Liang Heavy Cavalry, the Feng Camp, the Shan Camp, etc., were all extremely powerful. In the early stages of the war, they were even outnumbered and still launched a fierce attack on the Song Dynasty's Imperial Guards.

That is, after one bloody battle after another.

The Song Dynasty was able to hold on thanks to the crazy transfusions within the Dynasty at all costs, as well as the equipment, military pay, rewards, etc. that far exceeded those of the Northern Liang Army, and was able to engage in a limit-pull fight with the Northern Liang Army.

If the Northern Liang army were really allowed to launch a desperate and extreme counterattack.

Zhao Shirong didn't even dare to imagine that scene.

Not only would the morale and advantage that the Song Dynasty had worked so hard to build up be destroyed, but the Northern Liang Army would be more likely to break through the northern border defense line in one fell swoop.

The consequences will be extremely serious.

Chapter 321 Beiliang's Last Chance to Win

The speculations and precautions made by Cao Wei, Di Qing, Zong Ze, Princess Shuangyang and others were very correct.

Moreover, Zhao Shirong is not the kind of person who insists on his own way and refuses to listen to advice.

On the contrary, Zhao Shirong believes more in what her husband Yang Zhao often said: leave professional matters to professionals.

When it comes to fighting, Cao Wei, Di Qing, Zong Ze, Princess Shuangyang and others are undoubtedly the most professional.

At this time, twenty miles away from Zhenliang City, there was an endless stretch of military camps.

The central army commander’s tent.

Xu Xiao, the once rugged and majestic hero, was now lying on a soft couch like a dying tiger. His face was pale without a trace of blood, and he didn't even say a word and had to rest for a long time.

Beside Beiliang Xu Xiao, Xu Fengnian, dressed in military armor, was crawling on the side with a look of sorrow.

Besides.

The military advisors, generals, miracle doctors and others in the Northern Liang army all gathered in the commander's tent, weeping uncontrollably.

No one knows what Beiliang Xu Xiao said to Xu Fengnian.

However, everyone present knew that King Xu Xiao of Beiliang might not be able to hold on any longer.

As early as half a month ago, Xu Xiao, who was already in poor health, was accidentally hit by a stray arrow during an extremely fierce small-scale battle, causing his old injury to relapse, and he has been lying in the general's tent ever since.

That was something no one expected.

At that time, the autumn harvest had not yet been completed, and the Northern Liang Army and the Song Dynasty Imperial Guards had only engaged in various small-scale clashes around the farmlands outside the city. At most, there were only two or three thousand people fighting against each other. More often, there were only a few hundred people confronting each other, and then protecting the civilians on both sides to harvest grain.

However, in this small-scale confrontation where it was almost impossible for anything to go wrong, a life-and-death battle broke out.

No one cares about the specific reasons anymore.

Anyway, Xu Xiao was going to die, and at this critical moment when the autumn harvest was over. In the past ten days, Beiliang suffered four major defeats. If it weren't for the loyalty of everyone present to Xu Xiao, the war would have come to an end.

However, no matter how loyal and brave the people present were, they could not stop the trend.

After Xu Xiao's death, everyone was already unhappy with the outcome of this war.

At this moment, Xu Fengnian turned his head with tears in his eyes.

It took Xu Fengnian a whole cup of tea to suppress the infinite sadness in his heart. His eyes became increasingly cold and fierce, scanning everyone.

Finally, Xu Fengnian spoke up and said, "Master Li, you are my father's disciple. Do you know about my father's death? Is there any conspiracy hidden in the dark?"

In a very short period of time, Xu Fengnian seemed to have become a different person and matured.

Even many of the intimate terms used in daily life began to become more formal in Xu Fengnian's mouth.

Hearing Xu Fengnian’s words.

Li Chungang, who only had one arm left and was wearing a sheepskin coat, sighed and said, "There is no conspiracy here. Your father was a general of the Song Dynasty in the past. He was favored by the Song Dynasty and killed too many people."

"It would be fine if the Song Dynasty was in internal chaos and had a declining fortune."

"Now the Song Dynasty is peaceful, the strong have returned, and it is rumored that the gods are protecting them. The luck is reunited, and there are even things that are soaring. Under the backlash, the King of Beiliang has suffered this disaster."

Li Chungang's words were not very clear.
