Refine Gu to become immortal from one person

With the current situation in the world, Beimang and Liyang are roughly divided into fours and sixes.

The border line between the two sides is extremely long, extending from Youzhou, Liangzhou, which belongs to Northern Liang, to Jibei and Liaodong, which can be said to traverse east and west.

Among them, apart from the obstruction of the mountain roads that are difficult to march, there are two roads that can be used to go south from Beimang, guarded by Beiliang King Xu Xiao and General Gu Jiantang respectively.

"Do you know why there are two routes to the south, and the east route is closer to Tai'an City, the capital of Liyang, than the west route, but Bei Mang seems to have lost his mind, and he just stares at the most elite people in the world? The Beiliang army is going to fight?"

Chi Yao and Ying Zheng crossed the border of Youzhou, and Shi Shiran entered the territory of Beimang, chatting along the way.

"It's nothing more than a court battle,"

Ying Zheng said contemptuously, "It's really shameful. Everyone's thoughts in Liyang, including Xu Xiao, have been seen through by Bei Mang."

This is true.

Unlike Xu Xiao, Gu Jiantang's credit for unifying the Central Plains was only one-third of the former's, so he was not crowned king. Later, he was transferred to Tai'an City by Emperor Yuan Benxi, and held the position of Minister of the Ministry of War for twenty years. Most of the former old troops were scattered and assigned to other princes and generals.

Therefore, if Bei Mang chooses to send troops to the east to threaten Tai'an City, Gu Jiantang's expedition will have the full support of the Liyang Dynasty.

Because he can't afford to ride any big waves.

So even if his soldiers and horses are not as elite as Beiliang, but with unlimited logistical support, they are still enough to barely hold back the Beimang army.

At this time, Xu Xiao, king of Beiliang, would definitely not let go of this opportunity, and would definitely lead his army to the north, heading straight to the royal court of Beimang.

With the size of Bei Mang, it is not enough to support such a two-line battle, and it will undoubtedly lose.

But on the other hand, if Bei Mang insisted on attacking Bei Liang first, the situation would be very different.

Xu Xiao, a king with a different surname who is in charge of power, is like a thorn in the throat of Liyang Dynasty, and he can't wait to get rid of it soon.

So before Beiliang collapsed, they could not get any support from the rear, and they even had the risk of being pulled back.

In this way, Beimang only needs to deal with the pressure of a single line.

Although Beimang is on the weak side when facing the whole Liyang, but if they only need to face Beiliang alone, then they are the superior side with several times the territory.

If they can defeat Beiliang and occupy the land of the three states, the Western Regions may also be swallowed by them.Then the strength and weakness of Beimang and Liyang may be more difficult.

In such a situation, Beiliang, who was sandwiched between Beimang and Liyang, seemed to be unloved by his uncle and grandma, and he was not a human being inside and out.

As for Bei Mang, they fought desperately, with blood feuds, and there was almost no possibility of turning around.

But for Li Yang, who was guarding behind him, he was criticized verbally and in writing.From the emperor to the scholars, and even the common people, most people in the public opinion wished for their death, as if their existence had destroyed the supposedly stable order of the Central Plains.

After Ying Zheng fully understood Beiliang's current predicament, his eyes were very gloomy.

When had he been wronged like this?

"Those people live too safely behind!"

"Indeed."

Chi Yao nodded, agreeing with Ying Zheng's statement. "However, all dynasties are the same, and Beimang is no better than Liyang. Speaking of which, the King of Beiliang is also responsible for this."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Ying Zheng was very interested in understanding the enemy's weaknesses.

"You should be clear about the characteristics of the Prairie Dynasty. Based on what we have learned along the way, have you found anything different?"

"Um……"

Yingzheng pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, "City! They actually have such a complete city!"

"Yes, now we are in Longyao Prefecture of Beimang. According to the habits of traditional nomads, even their royal court is nothing more than pitching a large tent on the grassland, using horses, fences, etc. It's just a circle around things. But here..."

Chi Yao raised his finger and pointed to the vaguely towering outline in front of him, "Although we have never entered a city during this journey, we have already counted many cities we passed by. Whether it is the left city full of tea and horse trade, or the flying fox in front The cities are all in the style of the Central Plains with a high city, deep pools, and eight classics. Don’t you think it’s strange?”

"Appreciate further details."

"This matter dates back to twenty years ago, when Li Yang was first settled."

As he rode forward leisurely, he said casually, "At that time, Liyang, a barbarian from the north, defeated the other eight countries. Naturally, there were a large number of remnants of the old country who refused to accept the rule of the new dynasty. Civilized areas, such as Western Chu, Southern Tang, etc. If left alone, it will inevitably lead to continuous rebellion and uprising, but if they are really killed, it will be too bloody for Liyang, a new dynasty, and it will hurt the peace of heaven. Bad for reputation.

"So the Liyang royal family sent Zhao Bing, the most brutal Yan assassin king among the vassal kings, to suppress the old land of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Individuals also sent out words one after another, saying that the entire Guangling River Basin would be bloodbathed!

"Who is Xu Xiao? Human slaughter! At least hundreds of thousands of people died under his command. His reputation is enough to make a child cry. But Zhao Bing directly swung a knife and killed the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty. All of a sudden, Those southern gentry couldn't sit still anymore, in order to survive, they had to flee north."

Speaking of this, Chi Yao sneered, "According to Yuan Benxi's plan, the emperor cannot be accused of excessive killing, so he sent Yan assassin king Zhao Bing to be the sword. But Zhao Bing also has Nalan You Ci, saw through this plan at a glance, so he chose to drive away most of the gentry in the south with a small amount of killing. Now, the pressure came to the north. But Xu Xiao is not a fool, and under Li Yishan's suggestion, he did not stop So, let this group of people escape into the grassland directly to enrich the national power of Beimang. Yuan Benxi was very angry when he saw this, but he had no choice but to take the powerful King Yan and Beiliang, so he had to send the same people in the northern border The Han family in Jizhou was wiped out."

"However, the influx of a large number of talents is not entirely a good thing for Beimang."

Chi Yao continued, "Because there are too many people pouring in, after they gained a firm foothold in Beimang, due to differences in living habits, cultural influence, etc., Beimang was vaguely split into two factions from the inside, the North and the South. The Central Plains people are not used to the migratory life of the grassland people, so the southern faction is actually dominated by the Central Plains people who fled there.

"In this way, although Beimang's overall strength has been greatly enhanced, it has made up for the extremely lacking cultural background, and even has the potential to compete with Liyang. However, their interior is quite fragmented. If this problem cannot be solved If not, their potential will always be nothing but potential.

"However, for Beiliang, the most important thing is that the nomadic habits in the southern part of Beimang are gradually decreasing, which reduces the harassment and invasion they receive a lot. Only Liyang, looking at Beimang's majesty, makes his teeth itch, and wants to move Beimang." Liang has scruples in his heart, he is really aggrieved!"

"Deserved!"

Ying Zheng also scoffed at this.

"It really deserves it,"

Chi Yao smiled and nodded.

While talking, an inn appeared in front of the two of them.

Under the curling smoke, a small three-story building appeared next to the yellow sand. Four or five carriages were parked in the courtyard, and there were twenty or thirty good horses in the stables outside, many of which were shiny and tall. Strong and strong, even people who don't understand horses can easily see that the appearance of these horses is excellent.

"Bei Mang's good horses are indeed well-deserved!"

Ying Zheng praised him, jumped off his horse, handed the reins to the black boy who came up to meet him, and then walked to the mouth of the well next to the tree stump at the door, ready to fetch two ladles of water to wash the dust off his face.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he picked up the water ladle, Xiao Er, who was tied to the horse on the other side, stared at it eagerly.However, his eyes turned around Chi Yao and Ying Zheng, as if he could see that they were rich people, so he turned around and concentrated on feeding the horses.

At this time, the proprietress who heard the sound of water came out, put her hands on her bucket-like "small waist", and greeted warmly with a smile: "You two gentlemen, please come in quickly! We can eat and drink at the Yatoulu Inn Able to live, the price is fair, children are not deceived, it is a famous brand in Longyao Prefecture, as long as you have lived here once, you will know our kindness."

Amidst the laughter of the proprietress, the two stepped into the fairly spacious courtyard.

As the sky was full of wind and sand, he was refused to go outside, followed by piercing gazes from all directions, and turbulent malice rushed to his face.

"Ok?"

Chi Yao paused and looked around.

As far as the eye can see, those men who looked fierce and bare-chested all shuddered one after another, lowered their eyebrows unconsciously, and even retracted their hands and feet that were attached to the girl, showing a look of trepidation.

"Oh?"

Seeing this, the landlady's eyes flashed, and her voice became even more delicate, "Guest officer, please don't pay attention to those poor ghosts. There are only sixteen girls in our Yatoulu Inn to treat guests. Those who pay the highest price will get a spring night. I’m afraid of meeting someone richer.”

"Ha ha,"

Chi Yao didn't bother to get to know this group of people, so he followed the proprietress to the second floor, throwing a bunch of money at random, "Girl, we don't want it, as long as good wine and good food are served. In addition, I need to ask the proprietress for some information."

"okay!"

The proprietress took the money with a smile, called Xiao Er to work loudly, and then sat down at the table by herself, "What do you two want to inquire about? We dare not say that you are just asking, but the general news is still well-informed."

"Does the proprietress know how to get to Qijian Yuefu?"

Chess Sword Yuefu, one of the five great sects of Beimang.

The rivers and lakes in Beimang are quite different from those in the Central Plains.

In the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, except for Longhu Mountain, most of the top sects have no apparent relationship with the imperial court. Even if they secretly communicate with each other like Dongyue Jianchi, they are still nameless on the surface.

But Beimang is different. Among their five top sects, the status of Daodezong is similar to Longhu Mountain in the Central Plains, and the suzerain Yuan Qingshan is the national teacher of Beimang.

Tibing Mountain is even more incredible. Their mountain lord, the fifth raccoon dog, directly controls the military town. The generals of the two towns of Laohuai and Wuchuan are also from Tibing Mountain, and they are called the co-lords of the Rouran Mountains.The fifth raccoon's daughter, the fifth fox, also married the general of Beimang.It is more appropriate to say that they are a Jianghu sect, rather than a large tribe.

As for Qijian Yuefu, their relationship with the Beimang court is also quite close.

Chess, Sword and Yue House are divided into three houses of Qi, Jian, and Le under the master of the big house. Each house is under the jurisdiction of a house master, and the names of the disciples are all taken from famous Ci cards.

Their past lords were all called Taipingling. They were stunning and peerless generalists who knew almost everything. They basically all held the post of Beimang emperor and teacher, ranking first in the sequence of Beimang civil servants.

But passed down to this generation, Chess and Sword Yuefu also had a little problem, because their grand palace master failed to be the master master according to the usual practice.

The reason is not complicated to say, just because the empress of Beimang ascended the throne at that time and reprimanded the Taiping Order: "Since ancient times, the sacrifices have been ranked by the emperor, relatives and teachers of heaven and earth, and widows have no parents to worship. If you think you can be equal to heaven and earth Shoulder, come to be this emperor teacher again."

But as the saying goes, a slap is also a sweet date, and the emperor couldn't do it, and Beimang also comforted him. They gave Qijian Yuefu a crown princess as a compensation.

But even with such compensation, the momentum of Qijian Yuefu will inevitably weaken.What's more, their peace orders have been missing for years.This series of blows almost made this sect with a glorious past fall to the bottom of the five major schools in Beimang.

But even so, it is still one of the holy places that countless young people in Beimang dream of worshiping.

It seems that this is not the first time the proprietress has heard such a question, she asked with the meaning of "I understand" in her eyes: "Well, the two of you also want to go to apprentice?"

"It's not guaranteed to be a teacher, but I heard that all the women in Qijian Yuefu are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and knowledgeable. It must be good to ask one to be a wife."

Chi Yao looked at Ying Zheng and raised his eyebrows, "How about it, do you want a wife or not?"

"puff!"

Before Ying Zheng could answer, the proprietress on the opposite side sprayed first.Fortunately, Chi Yao was alert early on, waved his sleeves and threw a sip of drink on the ground, and then heard the boss Nian Shang's out of breath laughter.

"Oh my mother, you want to marry a woman from Qijian Yuefu? Hahaha——"

The waist of the bucket endowed the proprietress with a strong lung capacity, making her laughter full of air, which soon spread throughout the inn.

Not long after, a tall and thin man with a dull expression and cloudy eyes who seemed to be weak and sick followed the sound and looked at the proprietress who was still leaning forward and backward.

After a long time, the landlady's laughter gradually subsided, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and waved to the man: "It's okay old ghost, they told me a joke just now, it's so funny."

"Ah."

The man turned his head and stared at Chi Yao and the two again, as if giving a silent warning, then turned and went downstairs.

After the proprietress laughed, she readily gave the move method of Chess Sword Yuefu, and said: "If you can really get the female disciple of Chess Sword Yuefu, if you come again, the expenses will be free!"

"Then thank you in advance,"

Chi Yao nodded noncommittally, raised his hand to stop the proprietress who was just about to leave, "I have one more question, how do I get to Princess Grave?"
