Transmigration begins with archery training

Chen Sanshi quickly figured it out.

These cultivators flocked to Dongsheng Shenzhou.

The purpose is simply to find spiritual veins.

The extremely precious resource of spiritual veins will inevitably attract fierce competition from various sects.

he guessed.

Within Tianshui Island.

These sects may have already "divided" the territory of Dongsheng Shenzhou, with each sect participating in a court and then searching for spiritual veins on that land.

"Nanxu has undergone the most significant changes recently."

Qin Changxu continued, "Just four days ago, the old emperor of Nanxu passed away. After an internal strife, Fan Shuzhen, with the help of Zhonghu and the Immortal Master, ascended the throne and became emperor."

"And Liangshan Marsh, which we will pass through, is growing stronger. Not long ago, Prince Cao Rong of Zhennan personally mobilized troops to suppress the bandits, but he suddenly went into seclusion. It seems that the court gave him some new martial arts techniques. By the way, Prince Cao Rong of Zhennan is a martial arts genius and a martial arts fanatic. The Grand Commander should have heard of this."

"Kung Fu."

Chen Sanshi thought of the martial arts technique that his fourth senior brother had promised to the imperial court.

Could it be that they actually gave the "Dragon Scripture" to the imperial court?

Or perhaps, it's some other kind of technique.

My senior brother didn't give any instructions when he left, but he must have had his own plans, so there's no need for him to worry too much.

"The situation at Liangshanbo is also quite complicated."

Qin Changxu added: "On one hand, Nanxu wants to directly incorporate them into its own court and use them to pave the way to attack my Great Sheng Dynasty. On the other hand, the Prince of Zhennan is also advancing his army while constantly issuing orders to offer amnesty, which can be considered as a final ultimatum."

"Based on the previous situation, Liangshanbo has always been cooperating with Nanxu, so theoretically they should be biased towards Nanxu."

"But as far as I know..."

"Liangshan Marsh was also divided into two factions."

One faction believes that they should submit to Nanxu.

"The other faction believes that one should not betray the country, and even if one accepts amnesty, one should accept the amnesty of the Prince of Zhennan."

"Given their current situation, they have no choice but to choose sides, or they'll just be waiting to die."

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi browsed through the intelligence: "What's Liangshan Marsh like on ordinary days?"

"Does 'supervisor' refer to their actions?"

Qin Changxu said, "There was indeed a band of bandits in Liangshan Marsh, but since the Grand Canal Uprising, they haven't really done anything heinous. On the contrary, they killed a lot of corrupt officials, and that's basically how they got their wealth."

"If that's the case."

Chen Sanshi put down the paper: "If the Prince of Zhennan really wipes them out like this, or forces them to surrender to Nanxu, neither of these will be good results. The best way is to make them accept our offer of amnesty."

"Isn't it?"

Qin Changxu agreed, saying, "After several rounds of reshuffling, they now have as many as 80,000 combat-ready troops, including 40,000 elite soldiers, enough to guard a province. That's no small number."

"What about the internal list?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "Can you find out which faction supports whom?"

"Have."

Qin Changxu immediately pulled out another list: "There's been a lot of commotion inside Liangshan lately, people have died, and we can find out the truth with a quick investigation."

Holding the extremely detailed list, Chen Sanshi marveled at the intelligence gathering capabilities of their Commander-in-Chief's Office, which were probably not much inferior to those of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, as they even possessed such detailed intelligence.

He estimated.

Master has been using this method to find spiritual veins all these years.

"lets go."

"Let's go to Liangshan first."

……

Liangshan.

There are a thousand crisscrossing rivers and canals, and the surrounding area is eight hundred li in circumference.

Thanks to its unique geographical advantages, the mountain bandits had existed here for decades until the Grand Canal Uprising a few years ago, which turned it into a base camp for raising local troops.

Even the Prince of Zhennan would need to mobilize a naval force of 70,000 before he could launch a siege, and even then, success was not guaranteed in a short time.

But at this moment, inside the Hall of Gathering Righteousness.

The two groups are arguing endlessly.

"Brother, what did you say? We're really going to accept the imperial court's offer of amnesty?!"

"Recruit amnesty, recruit amnesty, what a load of nonsense!"

"What can you scoundrels do if we don't surrender?!"

"Although we have a large army, we don't have a single prefecture or county. Now we are surrounded by enemies, and if we don't accept the offer of amnesty, we will only face death."

"Then it would be better to simply submit to Nanxu and start a war with the imperial court!"

"Nanxu wants to use us as a shield, can't you see that?!"

"Could it be that offering amnesty will solve everything?"

"We've been bandits for so long, and we've killed quite a few corrupt officials. Will the imperial court let us go in the future?"

"Isn't it the same in Nanxu? There's a saying: 'When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked; when the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away!'"

“That’s right. If we accept the Prince of Zhennan’s offer of amnesty, at least we won’t have to betray the country and bear the infamy of cooperating with the Southern Barbarians!”

"..."

Nanxu, Dongqing, Dasheng, and Xiqi.

In the eyes of the desert barbarians, everything was the Central Plains.

But in their own eyes.

Only during the Great Sheng Dynasty was the Central Plains legitimate dynasty.

For this reason, the scholars and intellectuals of the Great Sheng Dynasty had a strong sense of superiority and pride. In their eyes, other countries were nothing more than heretical paths.

Shan Qunyu, the chief of Liangshan and the current Grand Marshal of the Army, felt a headache coming on as his brothers argued incessantly. Taking advantage of the chaos, he quietly left.

Zhang Shun didn't listen anymore. He picked up a harpoon and went down the mountain, intending to vent his anger in the big lake.

Suddenly, a large hand landed on his shoulder.

"Who?!"

He was horrified to find that he had not noticed anyone approaching at all.

"I am Zhang Laizi!"

After disguising himself, Chen Sanshi wore a long, azure robe and carried Sun Li's Red Lotus Blade at his waist. He was getting tired of using the Zhenyue Sword, so he brought out his senior sister's blade to use.

"elder brother?!"

Zhang Shun's horror turned into surprise, and he quickly led the group to a deserted place: "Brother, how did you get here? And you ran all the way here without anyone noticing you? That makes sense, you're a Martial Saint now."

The battle in the north was a decisive victory.

It is naturally known to everyone in the world.

He was also quite emotional.

The last time we met, Brother Shi was still a Xuanxiang, but I never expected him to become a Martial Saint after returning. That speed is truly astonishing.

"The matter of surrendering to the emperor."

Chen Sanshi cut straight to the point: "What are your thoughts?"

"Me? If it were up to me, I wouldn't listen to either side."

Zhang Shun threw down the harpoon, his expression somewhat gloomy: "But they all say that if we don't choose a side, we'll be attacked from both sides, and our destruction will be just around the corner in the next two years."

"Indeed it is."

Chen Sanshi explained to him, "You have been able to stay in Liangshan Marsh for so many years. The geographical advantage is only one aspect. The main reason is that the Prince of Zhennan was dealing with Nanxu, and Nanxu was also trying to win you over."
