Let you rebel, you build the Immortal Kingdom of Longevity?

Chapter 78

Because the inner breath cultivated in the "Nine Cauldron Jue" is very weak, after tempering the body for a while, it has been exhausted and swallowed up by Zixiao's blood.

In addition, Xia Hao discovered in "Inner Vision" that although the two special energies are distinct and have different attributes, they have an additional tempering effect, which will slightly strengthen the physique.

"Could it be that if I practice a variety of techniques, my body can be better tempered and tap out more potential?" Xia Hao thought in his mind.

It is also possible that the tempering effects and emphasis of different "internal refining methods" will definitely be different.

The higher the level of exercises, the more comprehensive it may be refined, and the stronger potential can be discovered.

However, every advantage has its own dangers. In addition to slow cultivation, the blood qi tempered by different exercises may interfere with each other, resulting in conflicts between qi and blood, affecting cultivation, and even causing more serious consequences.

"Continue to try and improve your understanding of "Jiuding Jue" so as to lay the foundation for integration."

Another 2 points of luck were consumed, and the "Nine Cauldrons Jue" was upgraded to the level of "first glimpse of the door", which improved the physical fitness to a certain extent.

"The power of luck is not enough, it is consumed too fast. If it is above the first rank, the total amount of consumption will reach a terrifying level." Xia Hao thought to himself.

.........

This time, Xia Hao stayed in Tianchi County for a relatively long time, mainly studying the "Jiuding Jue", exploring and studying Tianchi hot springs, and integrating the army.

Since the horse stepped on the Tianshan Mountains, it has only been half a month.

He already occupied Qiyun County, Luoyun County, Guyuan County, and Tianchi County.

The total population of the four counties is more than [-], which is almost equivalent to the city population of the entire seven counties of Jincheng County.

Jincheng County is located on the north side of the Tianshan Mountains. It belongs to the basin terrain with fertile soil and a large population.

However, because of the fertile soil, people lived by cultivating the land, so once they were hit by natural disasters, the losses would be very heavy, and the people fled famine and fled around.

And it wasn't just Jincheng County that was affected by the disaster. Most of the six northern states, and even the grasslands outside the Great Wall, were suffering from drought.

However, because Tianshan County is located at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, there is still some water source after the snow melts. Even so, the crops have disappeared, and the food they eat is the food stored in previous years.

"Nearly [-] soldiers from the four counties to be surrendered will be integrated into the army before they can march again.

It is best to completely dismantle the surrendered troops in different places according to the established plan discussed in advance, forming a model of "old with new" to form combat effectiveness as much as possible. "

It would obviously be inappropriate for the seven thousand soldiers brought from Jincheng County to be dispersed to defend the city. They must be mobilized as strategic mobile forces for support.

The task of defending the city can only be carried out in a rotating manner with the combination of "Xia Army + Jin Army surrender troops + Tianshan County soldiers", with the backbone of the Xia Army as the leader.

Their force is not bad, and they have all reached the eighth-rank "skin-smoothing state". Unless they encounter a large army besieging the city and stick to it for a few days, they can still do it.

Besides, Xia Hao doesn't expect them to expand their territory. At least they don't have the ability yet, as long as they can defend the territory.

……

Xia Hao was walking in Tianchi County, the market was much more lively than Jincheng County, with all kinds of hawking sounds.

Beside him, Chen Shuhua, the magistrate of Tianchi County, was introducing the situation of the entire Tianchi City and the other five counties of Tianshan County to Xia Hao.

"My lord, it's not easy to keep Tianchi City in order. The people in the city only have a few months of food in their homes, but outside the city there are already starvation everywhere, and there are bones on the road... If God doesn't open his eyes, the people in the entire nine counties of Liangzhou will be killed." One out of ten, even death."

Chen Shuhua was obviously a man who cared about the country and the people. Although he hated the Jin Dynasty, he cared about the people of Tianchi County very much.

After these few days of talking and understanding, Xia Hao also quite recognized Chen Shuhua.

He was born as a Jinshi, with profound knowledge, especially in people's livelihood, farming, law, etc. He is currently the most knowledgeable person under Xia Hao's command.

Moreover, Chen Shuhua has experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom, has governed the local area for many years, and has rich experience.

Otherwise, with his sixth-grade Bone Forging Realm strength, it would be difficult to integrate the entire Tianchi County.

Of course, the biggest shortcoming of this person is that he is somewhat scholarly, not cruel enough to the common people, and not strict enough.

In troubled times, it is more than enough to govern one party, but if you want to fight for hegemony, then it will not work.

"Magistrate Chen, God is ruthless and people are merciful, so we still need to distribute food as reasonably as possible... Try to find ways to get those big households to take out all the food, and the military government will redistribute it...

As long as we work together and overcome difficulties together, I believe that man can defeat nature. "

When Chen Shuhua heard this, he was also shocked by Xia Hao's boldness and confidence.

This week, his influence on Xia Jun has changed a lot. Under Xia Hao's strict military discipline, he has truly achieved non-disturbance with the people, even if there are some people who are looking for flowers and willows, they have done fair transactions.

"My lord, if you want those big families to donate generously, you still need your lord's coercive policy. I have thought about this before, but most of the soldiers in the city are from rich and powerful families, and I am powerless..."

Xia Hao smiled coldly and said: "I will do this. If anyone really wants to try my sword, I don't mind."

In the face of Xia Hao's power, if he does not compromise, his family will be ruined.

He has already given enough face, and all the food donated or sold to the military government have received corresponding "military tickets".

After the severe drought is over, when the military government has surplus food, it will naturally be returned.

Chen Shuhua hesitated to speak. If the rich and powerful people did not cooperate, there would be another bloody storm.

He didn't doubt Xia Hao's determination and ability at all, and thought to himself: "I have to confess again in secret, don't touch the tiger's whiskers, then I will die in vain without knowing it."

……

Next, the two talked about the remaining five counties in Tianshan County.

Tianshan County grows in a strip shape, nearly two thousand miles long from east to west, with cities dotted all over the place.

In addition to the four occupied counties, there are five counties in the west of Tianshan County: Changqiu, Ruifeng, Qingping, Guitu, and Longkou.

Chen Shuhua obviously understood the situation very well, and told Xia Hao all kinds of situations in detail.

"My lord, in addition to the stronger ones in Qingping County, the leader is also a sixth-grade warrior.

In the other four counties, there are all seventh-level warriors. They are all powerful local clans. They may have some ambitions, but they are all vulnerable to you, my lord. "

Chen Shuhua stared at Xia Hao with bright eyes, with great expectations in his heart.

After a week of contact, Xia Hao had already met all the conditions of a saintly monarch in his heart.

In terms of martial arts strength, Xia Hao has already broken through to the third-rank "dirt refining state" when he is only 16 years old.His blood is strong and thick, and his foundation in martial arts is solid. In time, he will become a first-rank national town master, which is almost a certainty.

In terms of aspirations, they are also very lofty. Xia Hao’s words, "Build a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations", have spread to the counties of Liangzhou and become the highest in his heart. ambition.

It's not just him. In the hearts of some scholars in Tianchi County, Xia Hao's four sentences have established the status of a sage monarch in their hearts.

Therefore, it is so easy to dedicate the whole city of a county with a population of 4 to Xia Hao.

In terms of running the army and fighting battles, Xia Hao is invincible, and the strict military discipline is well known throughout the world.It's just that the expansion is too fast now, which may have caused people to pretend to be fakes, but given time, if it stabilizes, it will definitely be a powerful army in the world.

When it comes to knowing and employing people, one can also distinguish between good and good, only talents are used, and there is no concept of family status. The policy of "recruiting talents" has opened a new chapter, and it has spread to surrounding states and counties, attracting many people with lofty ideals to join them.

Chen Shuhua, who had great expectations for Xia Hao, continued to make suggestions with enthusiasm.

"My lord, after the integration of the army is completed, you can march westward and recover the nine counties of Tianshan Mountains. Based on these two counties, attack the land of Li Zhi and Longlong in the south, and take the land of Zhouyu Yuequan and Beihai in the west. Then the hegemony will be established... "

Xia Hao laughed out loud, and had to say that what Chen Shuhua said was exactly what he wanted, and he also had a certain strategic vision.

"That's right, wait until tomorrow, and I will invite County Magistrate Chen to go with me, and head west on the horse, taking all of Tianshan."

……

The next day, the army initially completed the integration and continued westward.

The leader of Changqiu County, which is the closest to Tianchi County, is only a seventh-rank warrior. When he saw the arrival of Xia's army, he directly surrendered to the city.

After another five days of marching, they arrived at Ruifeng County.

The leader of Ruifeng County was a rebel. He tried to resist, but was killed by Xia Hao hundreds of meters away with a sword energy. Ruifeng County was conquered...

Next, the army arrived at another big city "Qingping County".

Qingping County has a population of nearly [-], the leader is a sixth-rank warrior, and there are six seventh-rank warriors under his command. This person is an ambitious person, and he also tried to resist, but he was still easily beheaded in the face of Xia Hao...

The last two cities, Huidu and Longkou counties, were located in remote areas and the generals were overwhelmed. Facing the Xia army approaching the city, they surrendered in fear after just a volley of bows and crossbows.

So far, it took a month before and after, the entire nine counties of Tianshan County were all occupied by Xia Hao,

During the nearly one month of fighting, Xia Hao hardly encountered any decent resistance.

After all, he is a genuine third-rank "dirt-refining-level" warrior. Apart from the Tianshan School, perhaps the entire Liangzhou has no one-on-one enemy for him.

So far, the land of the nine counties in Tianshan County has all been in Xia Hao's hands.
