Transmigration begins with archery training

"

"Transfer them all over there."

The Longqing Emperor ordered, "Also, Mangshan, the old ancestor of the Ling family, after dealing with the war against Western Qi, should also return to the Central Plains first. Everything from now on should be focused on stopping Chen Sanshi and buying me time."

"I will remember this."

Huang Hong said.

"I really can't stay in Kunlun Mountain any longer. I'll return to the capital and complete my seclusion in the Wanshou Palace. I'll entrust the matter of protecting the Dharma to you. Huang Hong, you are now the only person in this world who is truly close to me."

As the emperor spoke, he came to the tree inside the cave that exuded spiritual energy.

This tree.

Its full name is the Blessed Spirit Taiqing Heavenly Treasure Tree. It is an extremely precious spiritual plant that can replace spiritual veins to provide spiritual energy. Unfortunately, it is about to wither and die.

Cao Kai didn't feel sorry for it and uprooted it completely.

After that, Baoshu was able to survive for a while longer, enough time for him to successfully complete his seclusion.

After taking the precious tree into his possession, Longqing waved his sleeve and rode the Dragon Abyss Sword out of the Water Curtain Cave, quickly disappearing from sight.

……

Yulu Prefecture.

"Twelfth Brother!"

Prince Cao Huan of Jin personally took the battle report and, with a mix of joy and complex emotions, went to the backyard. He found Prince Yan, who was fishing idly, and eagerly informed him: "Great victory! Great victory! Chen Sanshi broke through the enemy's formation single-handedly, and then led the defending troops in Qiantang Prefecture to launch a counterattack, defeating the imperial army of 300,000. However, my ninth brother, along with those immortal masters, was killed by Chen Sanshi in the chaos of battle."

"Ninth Brother."

Cao Zhi recalled: "So what if he's dead? Although we are brothers in name only, we don't really have any relationship. Besides, we're enemies now. Sixth Brother, there's no need to be sad."

"Ah~"

Prince Cao Huan of Jin sighed slightly and said, "That may be true, but we are still connected by blood. If Father had not been so obsessed with the so-called path of immortality, we brothers would not be in this situation."

"Now that the Northern Liang army has entered the Central Plains, let's not sit idly by."

Cao Zhi put down his fishing rod, stood up and stretched, and said, "Sixth Brother, starting today, you will personally lead the troops into battle. Within two months, you will surely be able to conquer three more prefectures and expand your army. Then, you can prepare to inherit the throne."

……

Qiantang Prefecture.

On top of the city wall.

The rooster crows at dawn, and the morning mist thins.

Chen Sanshi practiced his already masterful spear technique, using the Fire Element Breathing Method combined with special stance training, constantly mobilizing spiritual energy to circulate through his body in a complex cycle, refining his physical body while continuously nourishing the divine shrine within.

On his upper right abdomen, a radiant light shone, first blue, then yellow, then green, until finally merging into a dazzling tricolor light, and a shrine awakened.

Courage!

His name was Delong Ju, his courtesy name was Daofang, he was 2.6 inches tall, and wore a greenish-yellowish-green outfit!

[Cultivation Technique: Dragon Scripture (Early Stage of True Power)]

【Progress: 314/500】

The fifth of the eight scenic spots in central China, the Divine Cave, has been opened.

Put away the spear.

Chen Sanshi then began practicing magic.

[Spell: Myriad Swords Descend from Heaven - Tier 2]

【Progress: 1583/2000】

……

[Spell: Earth Spell (Mastery)]

【Progress: 798/1000】

……

[Skill: Archery. Perfect (Level 3 Breakthrough)]

Progress: (1811/2000)

These spells are basically all close to breakthroughs.

At last.

These were spoils of war from the Battle of Qiantang Prefecture.

He took possession of everything belonging to Cao Rong, Ling Yun, Li He, and Dao Xuan Sanren.

The biggest gains from this trip included a blunt broadsword, a soft sword, a sword, and Dao Xuan Sanren's first-order array diagram.

These first-tier formations include the Golden Light Formation for defense, which was used in the Spring and Autumn Prefecture to make the city impregnable; the Dungeon Formation, which can trap enemies and lock up generals; and the Shadow Formation.

As for the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation, the chessboard was broken, and no corresponding method for its creation could be found. It is possible that Dao Xuan obtained it from a sect or someone else in the cultivation world, rather than creating it himself.

Overall.

These formations are neither particularly powerful nor insignificant.

With the idea that having more skills is never a bad thing, Chen Sanshi would also take out his skills to study during his cultivation. After all, cultivating array formations can also enhance one's spiritual sense. In addition, alchemy and talisman drawing have a complementary effect.

In particular, there are many similarities between drawing talismans and forming formations.

[Skill: Formation (Beginner)]

【Progress: 82/100】

[Effect: None]

Chen Sanshi carried his spear back to the military camp.

"See the Marshal!"

The roll call has just ended.

All the generals gathered here, waiting to plan the next move of the Northern Liang army.

Without wasting any words, Chen Sanshi went straight to the head seat and sat down, then gestured for Xu Wencai to begin.

"Generals."

Xu Wencai pointed to the map with his feather fan: "After Qiantang Prefecture, even if our Northern Liang army occupies 30% of the Central Plains, the problem of food and supplies in the rear will also be solved."

"On the imperial side, a large number of troops have been gathered in the Feishui area. According to reliable intelligence, the number may be as many as a million, and there are also many high-level immortal masters who have come to help.

But...

"This will also be our final battle!"

"As long as we win this battle, there will be no force in front of us that can stop us. The Northern Liang army will march straight to the capital Chang'an and establish our rule over the world!"

"But before that."

"We still need to solve some problems."

"As per the commander's instructions, we must launch a decisive battle in the next year or so."

"However, if we continue south, there are still many passes and obstacles along the way. The number of troops in these prefectures is neither too many nor too few, so if a real battle breaks out, it will probably waste a lot of time and cause all sorts of trouble for the stability of the rear."

"The best way is to try to persuade them to surrender directly."

"So, starting today."

"Generals, you shall divide your forces into eight routes and first capture some of the easier-to-conquer cities to demonstrate your strength and see if you can awaken the others and make them abandon darkness for light!"

"Do as Xu Wencai says."

Chen Sanshi issued the command order.

The Great Sheng Dynasty had a vast territory.

These prefectures are scattered and cover a very wide area. It is impossible for him to personally lead troops to conquer them one by one. Not only would that waste time, but it would also waste a lot of food and supplies.

Even looking at the whole world, after years of war, food supplies are extremely precious.

Therefore, the best approach is still to persuade them to surrender.

"The last general takes command!"

Qi Cheng quickly helped to make more detailed arrangements, and after the generals received their respective tasks, they left Qiantang Prefecture one after another.

"grown ups."

After everyone had left, Xu Wencai leaned closer and said, "The Prince of Jin in Yulu Prefecture has recently expanded his power considerably, taking advantage of the momentum of our Northern Liang army's great victory. He now controls five prefectures and has an army of 150,000, which can be described as a strong and well-equipped force."

"They wrote to us early this morning, saying they hope to join forces with us and then march south together to attack the imperial army."
