From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

February 15th, the fourth year of Qianyuan.

Jiangnan Road fell.

The four great warlords joined forces in rebellion, and the 100,000-strong Longxiang Army was divided into two groups, successively capturing Yangzhou City and the secondary capital.

Zhao Xun, the prince of Jing'an, proclaimed himself emperor and married the young princess of the Dongyue royal family. He held a grand ceremony to announce to heaven and earth that Dongyue had been restored.

On the other side, Western Shu fell into the hands of Western Chu, and in exchange, the Southern Tang Yan Emperor occupied the old Xiangyang area.

The Emperor of Li Yang was furious and made an exception to appoint Gu Jiantang as the Grand Marshal of the Army, in charge of all military affairs in the territory, and named him the King of Liaodong, a hereditary title.

Unlike the previous minor conflicts, the loss of Jiangnan Road, the world's granary, caused the situation, which had been going smoothly, to deteriorate rapidly.

But a more serious external threat had already broken out. Outside the border, the Northern Mang Wazhu Army and the Northern Liang Longxiang Army had a head-on encounter in the wild. With 15,000 troops exchanging for 8,000, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

The Queen of Beimang showed her courage as an emperor. She ordered the imperial tent to move south and all the troops from the four states of Beiyuan were mobilized. A million-strong army approached the border of Liyang, and a war to destroy the country was about to begin.

Since when, the originally peaceful world has become chaotic, and the first rebel army appeared in the three prefectures and the capital area. Although it was quickly put down, it was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous signal.

In Jiangnan Road and Southeast Road, sixteen rebel groups emerged and grew rapidly.

Things took a turn for the worse.

……

Yangzhou Riverside.

The area near the shore was littered with dead bodies.

After conquering Yangzhou City, the Longxiang Army, like the Xiangwu Army before it, immediately launched a city-wide search, with raging fires everywhere.

A passenger ship was moving forward on the river. Jiang Yuan stopped at the bow and looked into the distance. In his sight, a blind scholar was caught up and chopped down by several infantrymen. After searching him and finding no valuables, they stabbed him in the heart with a knife, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.

"General Gu Jiantang led the North Camp and the South Camp of the capital, with more than 150,000 troops heading south to recapture the Jiangnan Road." Crow said, standing on someone's shoulder.

"Gu Jiantang has left the old nest, but Beimang is still planning to attack Beiliang first?" Jiang Yuan asked. He knew that the Imperial Master's Taiping Order was having an impact, but he didn't intend to target Beiliang so deliberately.

"The troops of the Murong and Yelu families have entered Longyao Province. It seems like a personal vendetta between the empress and Xu Xiao." The crow cooed.

Rumor has it that the empress and Xu Xiao had an unclear relationship in Liaodong when they were young. Later, one became the emperor and the other became the powerful King of Beiliang. The empress once sent a letter to Xu Xiao, expressing her willingness to "marry Xu", but was blocked by the sentence "I am too old to be a slave". As for whether the matter is true or not, the result is the same, and the two sides are still fighting to the death.

Jiang Yuan turned and walked into the cabin. His condensed purple-gold eyes returned to normal. The power of sixteen dragons and elephants was not on the battlefield, so its effect was slightly worse, but it was not a big deal.

Now on the entire south bank of the river, countless refugees and scholars fled to the Southern Tang Kingdom. In response, the Emperor of Yan showed unprecedented leniency. This "human wealth" was one of the important reasons why he was willing to give up Shu. The army set up checkpoints in the old Xiangyang area, showing an attitude of intercepting them all and not letting Western Chu take a single bit.

Population is part of a country's destiny, and there are many scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, which perfectly makes up for the fatal weakness of the southern border region's lack of cultural governance. The Emperor Yan and his son made a lot of money.

……

The passenger ship sailed downstream and entered the territory of Jianzhou.

After the fall of the secondary capital, Jianzhou, which was not far away, fell into chaos. Dongyue, which had recently restored its country, and the scholar group composed of the four top-class tycoons obviously did not have the ability to grasp the overall situation. Sixteen rebels rose up and formed an alliance called the Peace Army, claiming that they were for the peace of everyone in the world.

Jianzhou is traversed by a tributary of the Changhong River, and its central region now belongs to Shi Yi, one of the sixteen rebels and the stone-opener.

Originally this man was a hero in the martial arts world, with the strength of a second-rank junior grandmaster. He was somewhat famous in the state and was the leader of the local salt gang. This time he rose up in rebellion, with private salt dealers as the backbone, and quickly formed a huge team of 50,000 to 60,000 people. Of course, half of the soldiers had no weapons, and some had just put down their farm work.

This group of rebels has been roaming around the central part of Jianzhou and has captured two county towns. So far, they have only encountered setbacks when attacking Huishan. Two hundred heavy cavalrymen of the Xuanyuan family swooped down from the low hill and easily defeated thousands of troops.

Since then, both sides have lived in peace.

The passenger ship docked and Jiang Yuan landed first.

The illusion of two magnificent towers suddenly appeared and then disappeared.

A complete Dahuangting can construct five cities and twelve towers, and then enter the Dazhixuan realm that is rarely seen in the world.

By the time the two buildings were completed, the length of Jiang Yuan's Qi flow had reached 1,500 miles, which was a big step forward from the level of a god.

The Eighteen Riders of the Evil stood on the land on the shore one after another. Ning Shijian looked up and saw a line of black smoke rising straight into the sky. He could vaguely hear shouts and screams.

In a thatched cottage by the river, an old man came tremblingly in front of the group of people and took out a piece of yellow talisman paper from his clothes.

"It's the secret technique of the big boss around Mr. Yuan." Crow explained.

Jiang Yuan took the yellow talisman paper, and black ink gradually seeped out of it and then formed words.

Tangxi Sword Immortal was seriously injured. He escorted the eldest daughter of King Beiliang, Xu Zhihu, out of Yangzhou City through a secret passage. When he reached the border of Jianzhou, he was detained by the ancestor of the Xuanyuan family, but he is temporarily safe.

"Is Xuanyuan Dapan so brave?" The crow blinked.

"The Beimang army is approaching the border, there are wars everywhere, Beiliang is out of reach, and few people in the martial arts world can match him. This guy has long lost his shame, so what is he afraid of?" Jiang Yuan said.

The Xuanyuan family dominates the three states and has a history of five or six hundred years. They are located in Huishan, facing Longhushan across the river.

The ancestor Xuanyuan Dapan and Wang Xianzhi both took the path of proving the truth through force, but one came first and the other came later.

When he was young, Xuanyuan Dapan practiced spear, but was defeated by the Northern Spear Immortal Wang Xiu, so he turned to practicing swordsmanship, and then met Li Chungang who was at the peak of his power, and was defeated again. He gave up sword and practiced knife, and when he was challenged by the latecomer Gu Jiantang in middle age, he actually lost to him by one move. This time he did not practice knife either, but started to focus on internal strength. When he achieved great success, he ran to the Demon-Slaying Platform of Longhu Mountain to ask Qi Xuanzhen for advice, but was naturally defeated in the end.

He was defeated again and again by various top masters, and eventually became a great martial artist. When the martial arts world was in a good period, he made further progress and became a half-step martial arts saint who was able to dominate the martial arts world.

After his defeat, Xuanyuan Dapan never stopped, and began to study the Three Teachings twenty or thirty years ago, in order to strengthen his determination in martial arts by refuting these teachings. However, he had already practiced martial arts for seventy or eighty years at that time, and had less and less time, so he embarked on a unorthodox path.

The normal way of dual cultivation is helpful to both men and women. Once it becomes a matter of taking yin to replenish yang or taking yang to replenish yin, it will be a failure. This person combined the Taoist Jade Maiden Sutra and Buddhist Joyful Zen to create his own unique practice and rise to a new level.

The Xuanyuan family has always been famous for the beauty of the women in the family. Some are plump and some are thin, each has their own merits. Over the past twenty or thirty years, the women in the family have often suffered at the hands of the ancestor. Occasionally, a chivalrous young man would go to seek justice, but the result was that all the men died and the women ended up miserably.
