Traditional cultivation of immortality, you can really ascend in a day

A few days later, Liu Lang left Bianjing with Pang Zhen.

Five days later, Su Yige and Shangguan Xiaotong went to the Black Dragon City in Liaodong.

Kim Yun-hee and Kim You-jin stayed in Liufu to assist Mo Bingyan in managing the affairs of Liufu, and at the same time began to embark on the road of cultivating immortals.

After listening to all the experiences of the Jin sisters, Liu Lang had to sigh at the wonders of fate, all kinds of coincidences that were too coincidental, so that the two chess pieces sent by Xiao Ying to Bianjing not only did not have time to play a small role, but instead became his own woman by mistake, helping him easily break a big realm.

Liu Lang has made a decision in his heart, and if he has the opportunity, he really has to thank Xiao Ying for this lucky star of fate.

The destination of Liu Lang's trip was Xiazhou.

After the battle of Jinyang destroyed Liu Han, the Song army broke 100,000 Liao troops in the battle of Yanmen Pass.

Liu Lang spent a lot of time and energy, visited Zhao Pu Cao Bin and other Chinese military ministers many times, and entered the palace several times to express his views to the official family and the empress dowager, and finally let the official family and the imperial court form a flat side strategy to first solve the division of the Li clan in Xiazhou, then attack the Hexi Corridor to connect the Western Regions, and finally fight Yanyun with the Khitans.

Since the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty formed a relatively complete defense line of the Great Wall based on its control of Liaodong, Yanyun region, Hetao and Hexi corridors, and formed a suppressive posture against the nomads of the Mobei grassland, before finally solving the powerful Xiongnu and Turkic.

The Great Wall is centered on the Hetao and opens to the northeast and northwest respectively, with the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and Liaodong to the northeast, and the Hexi Corridor to the northwest.

Now the Khitan people occupy and operate Liaodong and Youyun Sixteen Prefectures for many years, especially the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures have a number of strong cities, at this time they will fight a decisive battle with the Khitan people in the Youyun region, not only to face the strong and tall city, but also to deal with the Khitan iron cavalry that goes to and from the wilderness like the wind, big horses and fast knives, once the decisive battle fails, the Great Song Dynasty will be broken and bones, and it will take a long time to recover.

If you take the Hetao first, and then attack Hexi, the situation is completely different, first, you can recover half of the defense line of the Great Wall of the Central Plains Dynasty, the fertile grassland outside the Great Wall for more than 100 miles, and encroach on the living space of the Tubo, Qiang, Dangxiang and other nomadic tribes, second, you can get excellent war horses from the Hetao and Hexi regions, and form a strong cavalry to fight with the Khitans, third, you can reopen the trade route with the Western Regions, enrich the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty, and fourth, you can migrate to the real border, once you start a war with the Khitans in the northern Youyan area, you can start from the south, The two directions in the southwest put pressure on the Khitans, so that the Khitans did not dare to easily transfer the soldiers and horses of those powerful tribes in the southwest to the Youyan region.

Since the victory at Yanmen Pass, the vast majority of the proud generals in the Song army have burst with self-confidence, believing that they should recover the sixteen states of Youyun in one go.

Fortunately, Cao Bin, Pan Mei and other generals with the highest prestige in the army were quite sober-minded, and the generals personally promoted by Ye Changqing and Yang Ye also agreed with Liu Lang's views, so the officials finally agreed to this flat side policy.

Xiazhou, known as Tongwan City in ancient times, was the capital of the Jin Kingdom during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Since Tuoba Sigong received the surname of the Tang Dynasty and settled in Xiazhou, Xiazhou has gradually become the place where the people of the Dangxiang clan are aspiring.

In recent years, under the continuous erosion of wind and sand, the desert around Xiazhou has gradually expanded, and it is very likely that Xiazhou will become an isolated city in a few decades.

In the room of the inn, Liu Lang and Pang Zhen were listening to Qu Zhiyuan, the sixth commander of Wu Desi, report on the matter.

As soon as Liu Lang arrived, he fulfilled his promise and promoted Lei Hucheng to the deputy envoy of Wudesi and transferred him back to Bianjing.

Since Li Kerui's death last year, the imperial court has not been canonized on his son Li Jiyun, he claimed to know the affairs of Xiazhou, and has sent envoys to the imperial court several times to ask for the seal, and because of this, many people within the party are ready to move, in short, Li Jiyun is nominally the leader of the party people, and the secret struggle for power is very powerful, he has no way to really control all the power of the party people, and the Khitan people have also been winning over the Li family, but when Li Kerui was alive, he admired Taizu very much, so did not promise. But now that the imperial court has not canonized Li Jiyun as the envoy of the Dingyan Army, the party members are worried, and they are all speculating that the official family is going to attack the Li family, which gives the Khitans an opportunity to take advantage of it, so that they can win over many people within the Li family, among which Li Jiyun's brother Li Jiqian is the most active. "

When Liu Lang heard this name, his face changed slightly, and he immediately returned to normal, and said: "Give me a dossier of the Li family and other powerful figures of the party and tribes, and in addition, send someone to contact the Zhi Yuqing in Fuzhou, so that the Zhi family is ready to send troops to Yinzhou at any time, and I have recommended Yang Ye to the official family to serve as the defense envoy of Yan'an Mansion, and his wife is the sister of the Zhiyu Qing, and the two of them will join forces to prepare to send troops to the Li family, and it will be all right." Under the pressure of the army, I want to see how Li Jiyun will choose. Pang Zhen, transfer a hundred Hidden Dragon Guards to come over, I will be of great use. "

Except for the later founding emperor of Western Xia, Li Yuanhao, Liu Lang didn't know much about the party item Li, but he still knew the name of Li Jiqian, the founder of Western Xia, the Taizu of Western Xia.

Specifically, Liu Lang doesn't need to know, he just needs to know that Li Jiqian must not stay, and while the current historical process still has traces to follow in his memory, of course he wants to accumulate advantages and pioneers for the Great Song Dynasty little by little.

"Zhiyuan, how much do you know about Li Jiqian?"

Qu Zhiyuan didn't know why Liu Lang didn't care about Li Jiyun and Li Jizhui, the two brothers who inherited Li Kerui's family business, but asked Li Jiqian about the person, and replied: "Li Jiqian is the son of Li Guangyan, the defense envoy of Yinzhou, and he was already the commander of the Dingyan Army at the age of twelve, and now he is only eighteen years old, and he is one of the real power figures in the Dingyan Army. Mounted archery kung fu is also famous in the Dingyan army, but from what we know, this man is hot-tempered and reckless, believing in solving problems by force, but in fact he is brave and resourceful, and among the friends he has made, there is a Han man named Zhang Pu, who has always been a military advisor like a figure around him. It is reported that he secretly has the support of the Khitans, and has a large number of followers in the entire Dingyan army and even in various party tribes. "

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiqian's great-grandfather Li Sizhong's retinue brother died on the battlefield when he pacified the rebellion in Huangchao, Li Jiqian's lineage has lived in Yinzhou, and the party Li family has also been able to rely on the land of five states centered on Xiazhou, and call the difficult army.

And Yinzhou is the party territory second only to Xiazhou.

Liu Lang waved his hand, did not let Qu Zhiyuan continue, and directly ordered: "Xiazhou affairs are temporarily handed over to Pang Zhen, you select a group of good players, go to Yinzhou with a hundred hidden dragon guards, and let Zhe Yuqing cooperate with you, I want you to get rid of Li Jiqian at all costs by any means, if you let him run away, I only ask."
