By the end of the 14th year of Zhengzheng, the central army of Mingjiao took over the entire Shanxi.
Li Jiang issued a military order, and the Guards was divided into two.
One group has 20,000 people, and this group is divided into two. The first one is to guard Taihang Baxing to defend against the central army of the Yuan Dynasty; the second one is to guard Ningwu, Yanmen, Piantou, kill Hu Jiguan, and prevent the Mongols from going south.
The other group has more than 20,000 people. This group is composed entirely of veterans of the bloody battles who fought on the front lines. It was personally led by the commander-in-chief of both the Feng and Lei armies to go south to Yuncheng.
Fan Yao also received the military order, and the two armies joined forces to attack Shaanxi.
Along with the order came a letter from Li Jiang sent to Fan Yao by the leader of Fengjun Hall.
In the letter, Li Jiang explained to him why the next target was not Henan.
Right? This is exactly what Fan Yao wants to know. He can't wait to rush into Henan to avenge his brothers.
So he suppressed his anger and looked down. Li Jiang mentioned the Ming Army's grand strategy. At this time, the Western Army, led by Wu Jincao, attacked Ganlong and headed east. The Ming Army's central army happened to be moving from east to west.
Clamp down on Shaanxi.
As long as Guanzhong is captured, the foundation of Mingjiao will be stable. With the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain, we can advance directly to the Central Plains or enter the Jiangnan area, and when we retreat, we can rely on dangerous passes to defend ourselves.
Of course, Qinchuan, which is eight hundred miles away, is no longer a land of abundance and cannot support so many soldiers and civilians, but don't forget that below Shaanxi is Sichuan, another land of abundance.
Shaanxi is backed by the Qinling Mountains and overlooks Sichuan from top to bottom. Since ancient times, it has been easy to attack Sichuan from the middle of the pass, but it has been difficult to attack Sichuan. As long as we capture Sichuan, which is rich in products, we can feed the army on the one hand, and on the other hand, we can go down the river to attack Jiangdong, and fight with
The eastern theater is connected into one.
Fan Yao finally agreed to Li Jiang's suggestion, and after arranging the defense of the Yellow River crossing, he mobilized more than 30,000 troops from the Heaven and Earth armies to join forces with the Fengling and Lei armies, totaling more than 50,000 troops, and crossed the Yellow River westward to invade Shaanxi.
After Fan Yao invaded Shaanxi, Li Dong, in addition to caring about the issue of recruiting troops, left all other official duties to the military personnel, and he became free again.
He wants to practice!
After more than a year of hard work on "Easing the Muscles and Forging the Bones", he had a premonition that there would be a big breakthrough in the near future.
Although he could not see the whole body's bones internally, he could feel that the bones seemed to be denser and his weight had increased slightly.
The meridians and Dantian are tougher and more open, which is the result of his internal vision. In fact, internal vision is not completely correct. It is only perceived from the side through the flow of true energy, but with the scanning function of the system, he can basically do it.
clear.
If we take Zhang Wuji as an example, his Dantian is like a pool and his meridians are like streams. What about Li Jiang? Li Jiang’s Dantian is like a big lake and his meridians are like small rivers.
Compared with the two, no matter in terms of output, endurance, storage, etc., they are not the same.
From this, Li Jiang guessed that if "Yi Jin Forging Bones" has a small success, the system panel will definitely reflect it.
Maybe he can break through the shackles and break through the power of 40 men?
But Li Jiang immediately became entangled again. After mastering the "Yi Jin Jing", is it necessary to pursue Xiao Lin's "Yi Jin Jing" again?
What a headache!
Li Jiang's Pixiu obsessive-compulsive disorder is in progress. As long as it is a martial art with a name, he wants to collect it. Even if he doesn't practice it, he can just take a look and leave it in the space to eat dust.
I wonder if Cheng Kun succeeded in Xiaolin Temple? If so, is it the original version of Bodhidharma? Li Jiang clearly remembers that the original version contains the "Magadha Kingdom Desire Samadhi Breaking Practice and Achievement God Foot Sutra".
This sutra not only trains Qi, but also trains Spirit.
Leaving aside Qi training, Shen training is much more important to Li Jiang. Although it is not the same system as Taoist Xuan Guan Yi Qiao, it can always increase spiritual strength.
As for whether it would cause conflict between the two families and lead to an obsession, Li Jiang said he would wait and see first.
Three months later, the subordinates reported that the remaining enemies in Shanxi had been cleared. After screening, there were still more than 5,000 northern Han people among the Yuan soldiers, and the remaining more than 10,000 were Mongolians, Semu people, Khitans, and Jurchens.
The subordinates then asked for instructions on what to do with these people.
Li Jiang thought about it for a while and said: "The Han people can be handed over to the incense masters to study and reorganize into the Ming army; the others can be demoted to logistics and let them build roads and mine. You can find the people left behind in the Liehuo Banner and the Houtu Banner, and talk to them.
They worked together to find a way to open a coal mine in Shanxi."
"Coal mine?" The clerk blinked a few times, not understanding.
Seeing his confused look, Li Jiang had no choice but to explain: "It's graphite and charcoal. Ask the people at Liehuo Banner, they will understand. Also, let me tell you, these captives must be put to use as soon as possible. Now it's too late."
Leng, I see that everyone is cutting down trees, which is not good. There is no awareness of environmental protection. If all the trees are cut down, water and soil will be lost..."
The scribe went out with his head full of paste.
Li Jiang continued to retreat. When summer came, another urgent news broke his peace.
Fan Yao captured Chang'an City bravely!
Li Jiang was overjoyed and took the battle report and watched it carefully.
It turned out that Fan Yao led his army to bypass the Yuan Bing Pass, lurking day and night, sneaking quietly all the way, and arrived outside Chang'an City in less than a month.
By personally entering the city for reconnaissance, he found that the local garrison was not on guard, so he made a prompt decision and launched an attack the next day. The soldiers defending the city were caught off guard and were rushed into the city by the Ming soldiers.
Fan Yao personally led his men and horses, surrounded the Yuan army's barracks, and easily captured the city of Chang'an.
When Li Jiang saw this, he sighed with emotion. It would be strange for the Yuan Dynasty, which was so civilized and vigorous, not to be subjugated! Tens of thousands of troops were operating in Shaanxi, and they didn't know it. Even if they didn't know, they should be aware of the great changes in Shanxi? Why?
Is there any precaution at all?
Fan Yao also said in the battle report that he had divided his troops into four plunders. There were two groups with more people as the focus, and they were led by the two governors of heaven and earth. He went all the way south to attack Hanzhong, opened a passage to Sichuan, and all the way west to Gansu to meet Wu Jincao.
The Western Route Army.
Li Jiang nodded while watching, thinking that Fan Yao usually had many objections, but as long as he accepted an order, he would execute it wholeheartedly. He was a talented general.
Seeing that the war situation was similar to what he had expected, Li Jiang felt relieved, dropped the battle report, and went into seclusion.
Another month has passed and it’s May.
Li Jiang's seclusion was still not ideal. He had been lingering at a certain threshold for a month, unable to enter, and he was always almost able to break through the barriers and enter a new world.
In desperation, Li Jiang left the border.
After he came out of seclusion, a swarm of things came to him again. After he patiently reviewed a few items, he could no longer suppress his annoyance, threw away the official documents, and went out to relax.
After taking a break, he ran far away, heading north to Datong, and then climbed Mount Heng.
I revisited the old place, but there was no Hengshan sect here, let alone the gentle little junior sister Yilin. The founder of the Hengshan sect may not have been born yet.
Li Jiang strolled into the Hanging Temple with its eaves and walls. He was in it and looked up at the hilltop opposite. He remembered that in the previous world, he was there looking at the Hanging Temple, and he couldn't help but feel that time and space were confused.
When Li Jiang thought about himself in the previous world, he laughed at himself. Wasn't it a bit of a waste of resources? His goal was to practice and become stronger, not to plunge into mundane affairs and just think about gaining faith points.
Should I withdraw?
Chapter completed!
