Arriving at Sikong Li's residence alone, Guo Yuan said straight to the point: "Does the military god know that Li Jian has regained control of the military? He has assembled an army of 150,000 in just a few days. He is now on his way to Silver Tiger City. I don't know what the military god is doing." What do you think?"
When Sikong Li heard this, he couldn't help but be eager to try, and smiled: "I have been waiting for this day for too long. In my opinion, no matter who wants to break through Liang Guoqing Yangcheng, they can't avoid Li Jian. It’s a level one, but now there’s such a disparity in military strength, there’s little chance of winning this battle.”
Guo Yuan frowned and chewed Sikong Li's words carefully. Compared with what he thought was no chance of winning, the other party thought that the chance of winning was small, but no matter how small it was, there was still a slight chance of winning, so he said: "According to the wishes of the God of War , since the chance of victory is not high, is it possible for Chengzhi to give up the previous results? Although Liang Jun has 350,000 troops, I firmly believe that with the military god sitting in charge, he will be able to turn decay into magic. "
Hearing this, Sikong Li burst into laughter, glanced at the thoughtful young counselor, and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
Guo Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Please ask the God of War for clear instructions."
Sikong Li looked forward and pondered with a smile: "So what about the 350,000 troops? Except for Li Jian's subordinates, Zhu Wang and others, in the eyes of this general, are just wine bags and rice bags for the sake of fame and reputation, not worth mentioning. Now you are expensive The combined forces of our two countries total 180,000 people. If all these 180,000 people are handed over to the general, it will not be difficult to kill the 350,000 people. However, the national strength of the three countries will be greatly depleted by then, and the Liao Kingdom will be in vain. I guess you don’t want to reap the benefits of being a fisherman. Besides, both sides will die together, whether you, sir, or Baili Jin. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will have no chance of success in the court in the future. I wonder if you are willing, sir?"
Guo Yuan laughed at himself: "I can't do anything to make others beautiful. Besides, that person is my life-long enemy."
Sikong Li sneered: "In this case, we can only return Yongzhou's hands and return to the country to recruit troops. When the troops are complete, we can make plans."
Although Guo Yuan was unwilling to give up, he also knew that what Sikong Li said was true. Facing Li Jian's 350,000 army, he was really unwilling to risk the lives of all the soldiers of Yan State and make Li Mi Xian's wedding dress in vain. Not wanting to be reduced to military merit by accident, he nodded and said: "In this case, I will inform General Baili about this when I go back next time, so that our Yan army can prepare as soon as possible."
Sikong Li sneered in his heart and thought to himself: This Guo Yuan is said to be thoughtful and resourceful, but he is limited by his age and does not have the courage to make a desperate move. If he can really defeat Liang's 350,000 troops and kill Li Jian, Liang's army will definitely be demoralized. What's the difficulty in going straight to Huanglong?
How could Guo Yuan know what Sikong Li was thinking, so he asked again: "I still have something unclear, sir. Please clarify."
Sikong Li twitched his lips and said, "Sir, please speak."
"As the leading martial arts master in the military world, the God of War is unparalleled among the four kingdoms. If the God of War single-handedly raided Yinhu City, could he take off Li Jian's head and escape intact?" Guo Yuan looked at him with a look on his face. said solemnly.
Sikong Li originally wanted to make a joke, but when he saw Guo Yuan's serious face, he explained: "If it can really be like this, why do you need to remind me, sir, I have already done it. But war is not a romance novel, and tens of thousands of troops will choose the enemy from it. Even if there is such a thing as a general's head, I can't do it. In today's world, I am afraid that only the extraordinary Monk Kongshan, the Sword God Cao Qiong and the Spear Immortal Ling Xiaoyun can do it, and there is a high possibility that they will never return."
Guo Yuan had never practiced martial arts and had only heard about the division of martial arts realms, so he asked: "Why is this?"
Sikong Li continued: "When warriors in the world reach the realm of generals, they pay attention to working with the heaven and earth to transform all things in the world for their own use. Their Qi is long, like a bright lamp in the dark night, and they are easily manipulated by Qi refining magicians. Other masters of the same realm are tracking the whereabouts. This general asserts that as long as I dare to do something drastic, there will be martial arts masters like Li Xian or Yang Xiu waiting for me in Silver Tiger City to fall into my trap."
Hearing this, Guo Yuan nodded and said, "I see, it's because Guo is ignorant and ignorant that I'm being taught by you."
Sikong Li asked again: "Sir, do you know why so few warriors in the world are willing to join the army, and the higher their cultivation level, the more so?"
"I don't know." Guo Yuan shook his head.
Sikong Li went on to say: "Martial arts competitions are high and low, but fighting the enemy on the battlefield is a matter of life and death. For a martial artist, the biggest threat on the battlefield is the countless soldiers and crossbows! This shows that it is easy to dodge concealed arrows with guns. Beware, a hundred crossbow arrows are enough to give a master of the Third Middle Realm a headache. If thousands of arrows are fired at once, under the overwhelming rain of arrows, even if you are the best in the world, there is nothing you can do. An ordinary martial artist who has cultivated into the Third Realm, You can start a sect in one state, become famous, and enjoy endless glory and wealth. There is no need to fight on the battlefield. If you are not careful, you will be reduced to the military merits of others. Therefore, if you look at the whole world, you will only be a general. It’s just a combination of martial arts and battlefield.”

One day later, Li Jian led his army to arrive at Yinhu City. The garrison in the city got the news early and came out of the city to greet him. For a time, 200,000 troops knelt outside the city. The voice of "see the general" could not be heard. Zhu Wang even more He left the city early and led Li Jian's horse in person!
After placing the army outside the city, Li Jian slowly walked up the city tower. He did not make an impassioned speech or issue any military orders. He just cupped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Thirty miles ahead, we are Baixiang City, Yongzhou, Daliang. Please follow me." Let’s drive the outsiders away and regain the lost ground together!”
The crowd is excited!
With Li Jian in charge of the army, he brought an additional 150,000 soldiers and horses. In addition, Sikong Li, Guo Yuan and others were unwilling to fight to the death. In just three days, Baixiang City was destroyed, and the Liang army took over. After retaking the remaining two cities in one go, it took the King of Qingzhou only five days to put down the rebellions in the two countries, leaving only the Liao Kingdom in the south still to be resolved.
