"If Liang Jinian, the commander of the Red Eyebrow Army, were to use the treasures he possessed as an exchange, and the Western Qi Kingdom were to make promises such as granting him a title or land, it would be entirely possible to win him over."

"real or fake?"

Bai Tingzhi stood to the side, and he, Zhao Kang, and the others listened in complete confusion.

"grown ups!"

Xu Wencai cupped his hands and asked, "What should we do next?"

"I'll write down my thoughts and present them to General Zhao and the others, but they're unlikely to listen. After all, it's just speculation without any substantial evidence, and the speculation is rather... absurd."

Chen Sanshi and the old scholar were making forced predictions based entirely on the assumption that the Western Qi Kingdom would inevitably win and our army would inevitably lose.

Even they themselves are unsure whether this situation will actually occur.

Write a good letter.

He whistled to summon the gyrfalcon, which then delivered the intelligence to the front lines.

Then, everyone rested for the night in Baigou County.

The next day at dawn, Yu Song sent a messenger to lead them to a place 200 li outside Yangchun Prefecture to assemble. They then set up camp on the spot and began to maintain the transportation of grain and fodder.

War is not something that can be fought overnight, especially when it involves such a large-scale conflict as that of a single state.

Before you knew it, more than ten days had passed.

After filling his stomach, Chen Sanshi found a secluded spot to practice shooting. Since arriving in Mingzhou, thanks to thorough preparation, his progress in proficiency was not hindered at all.

In his blood-rage state, he continuously used the blood of the dragon and elephant to generate power, consume it, and then generate it again, repeating this cycle day after day, constantly refining the strength and purity of his power.

He could feel that, as time went on, the force was about to burst out of his body, but each time it would dissipate before it could leave his skin. He could only grit his teeth and persevere, continuing the monotonous repetition.

at last.

Just before Chen Sanshi was completely exhausted, a surge of energy flowed out from his arm, passed through the gun barrel to the gunman, and unleashed unprecedented power.

Break through external forces!

[Technique: National Guardian Dragon Spear - Transformation of Internal Energy (Mastery)]

【Progress: 0/1000】

[Effect: ..., Accumulates energy]

New effects have been added to the original entry.

【Accumulate Power: Gather strength for a sudden burst of power】

After mastering the techniques of the Transformation Realm, one enters the "External Force" of the middle stage of Transformation Realm. In the entire realm, this is considered a transition, laying the groundwork for the "Power of Weapon Holding" of the Lesser Completion.

Its main function is to allow force to leave the body.

In layman's terms, it means hitting something from a distance.

Chen Sanshi planted his spear in the ground and threw a punch. Although his fist did not touch the tree trunk, he easily broke a tree about the size of a bowl in half.

For martial artists at this level, wielding weapons is actually not very effective.

Because their external force cannot be sustained, it's like an arrow that can only be fired one at a time, and it's very weak. But if they could store their energy, it would be completely different.

Chen Sanshi clenched his fist and could feel the power slowly accumulating in his arm, soon far exceeding the strength that should be present in the external force realm. Given enough time to build up power, he could unleash an unexpected effect in a single attack.

"We've run out of spirit sand."

His magic didn't falter either; he gathered up sword energy once more.

[Spell: Sword Qi Technique (Beginner)]

【Progress: 35/500】

However, the progress in proficiency is pitiful.

The spirit sand was completely consumed, turning into a pile of ordinary sand and gravel without any luster.

Once we get back, we must get the incense burner from Ciyun Temple.

Before Chen Sanshi set off, not only were the abbot and the supervisor imprisoned, but the entire Lingwu Mountain was sealed off. It was found that all Taoists were not allowed to leave the mountain gate before the investigation was completed. The incense burner was naturally well protected and there was no need to worry about it being lost.

Whether or not we can go back, and when we can go back, are the immediate questions we need to consider.

The intelligence he passed on to Zhao Wuji and others received a reply.

The content is simple; they will pay attention.

Now that things have come to this, the front line has already set up camp and begun to confront the main force of the Red Eyebrow Army. It's too late to turn back.

The transport of grain and fodder in Yangchun Prefecture was relatively smooth.

"I hope I'm overthinking it."

Chen Sanshi looked at the setting sun and muttered to himself.

Another ten days passed.

"Five days later!"

Back in the camp, Yu Song issued a new order: "The entire reserve battalion shall set off for Eagle Beak Mountain to join the main battlefield and participate in the decisive battle!"

"Are we even sending the reserve battalion?"

Xie Sishu asked, "Commander Yu, what's the situation at the front?"

"Three wins and one loss, annihilating eight thousand Red Eyebrow rebels, while our army suffered three thousand casualties."

Yu Song said in a deep voice: "This group of rebels has very high morale. Relying on the heavenly book bestowed by the immortals, they have managed to be defeated but not broken. Moreover, in the past two months, they have recruited another 10,000 people from sects, mountains in various places, and newly trained soldiers."

"That means even now, they still have over 30,000 men."

"However, that's all!"

"General Dong left his deputy Wu You to guard the Great Wall and personally led 30,000 men to join the battle. They will arrive at Jinquan Prefecture soon. At that time, they will attack from both sides and annihilate half of the enemy within half a month. Within two months, they will pacify the entire territory!"

"Then we'll be able to return to Liangzhou!"

They recruited another 10,000 people.

That's terrifying, how long has it been?

In this way, it's almost equivalent to half of the sect disciples and martial artists in Mingzhou joining the Red Eyebrow Army.

That's the charm of "myths and legends".

"A treasure bestowed by an immortal," and what was bestowed was a divine book of extraordinary military strategy, which was of such high value that it was no different from "receiving a mandate from heaven," and it was genuinely backed by a deity.

Based on this alone, even more people will flock to join us.

If it weren't for the "heavenly book," this rebellion wouldn't have escalated at all.

in other words.

No matter how bad the situation gets, the key point is Liang Jinian in Meishan. As long as Meishan Prefecture is captured and the rebels lose their "faith" to keep going, all problems will be solved, and the enemy will be subdued without a fight.

of course.

The prerequisite is winning the upcoming decisive battle.

His position is still too low, and there are limited things he can do.

"Wang Li".

Chen Sanshi asked, "Is there any news from Jianmen Gorge?"

"almost."

Wang Li replied, "Zhao Kang and the others should be back in a few days."

"Okay, let's go."

Chen Sanshi sent people back to Jianmen Gorge to investigate the situation a few days ago.

If his speculation comes true, then a large number of troops will definitely be deployed to the western border to the rear, set up camp near Jianmen Gorge, and block their retreat.

……

Meishan Prefecture City.

The prefect's residence.

"Holding the power of life and death, I will eliminate evil and preserve righteousness to relieve the people's suffering."

"The Heavenly Book and the Extraordinary Soldiers are bestowed by the immortals; the poems are recited before the patriarch."

"The dragon, hidden in the mountains, might startle the heavens; for now, it steals a moment of leisure to leap into the abyss."

"Waiting for the winds and clouds to gather, soaring across the land to establish our rule!"

"What a poem, what a poem!"
