Cai Jing asked in confusion: "I wonder why your Majesty said this?"
Cheng Qian explained Cai Jing's doubts and said: "If there really were more soldiers than anyone else in the war, wouldn't the Song Dynasty have already destroyed Liao and Xixia and unified the world? There would be no need for the three kingdoms to fight for more than a hundred years."
Cai Jing continued to ask: "Even so, it is true that our army has few soldiers. How can your Majesty explain this matter?"
Cheng Qian continued: "Although our Miao territory now has few soldiers, the land it occupies is densely populated and has abundant resources. As time goes by, the Miao territory has established its rule in various places, opened up industry and trade routes, and The army under my command will only become more and more numerous, and the enemy will only become weaker and weaker."
After speaking, he handed the memorial in his hand to Cai Jing, "Look, this is the news sent by the chief minister from Liaodong. He has recruited another 100,000 troops from Liaodong, Hebei and other places to support him. They will be available in two months." To support the Liaodong battlefield. There is no need for me to send any more troops there, and Shandong, Henan, Jiangnan and other places have also recruited 300,000 troops. In three months, they can support our army's main battlefield against Song and Xia."
Cai Jing immediately bowed to him, flattered him and said, "My emperor has a far-reaching plan, and we can't catch up with him."
Cheng Qian waved his hand to signal Cai Jing to step back, "Okay, let's go down and pay more attention to the distribution of materials on the front line. There is no room for failure."
"As ordered, I will retire."
Looking at Cai Jing's retreating figure, Cheng Qian's thoughts returned to the battle with the sweeping monk that day.
If it weren't for the limitations of this world, with the power of the sweeping monk, in the innate state, how could he die so easily under the "military disaster and natural danger" that has not yet been deduced, just because he has not exerted his innate ability at all? In other words, it is impossible to exert the capabilities of this state. This is why Cheng Qian said the word "what a pity" after the battle.
Cheng Qian's injury was not caused by the Sweeping Monk's "Illumination of the Great Thousand", but the backlash caused by his good use of "Six Disasters Forbidden Techniques" and other tricks that did not belong to this world.
However, the battle at Shaolin Temple can be said to have provided tremendous help to Cheng Qian's future martial arts.
First of all, through the battle with the sweeping monk and others, Cheng integrated a number of gold system secrets such as "Marrow Cleansing Sutra", "Dragon Subduing Palm" and Xiaoyao sect's martial arts into "Sen Luo Wan Xiang".
Secondly, during the battle with the sweeping monk, through observing his innate state, he understood why he was in this state, paving the way for the future.
Now he only needs Cheng Qian to destroy the Song, Liao, Xia and other small countries, and understand the true meaning of war disasters in the war, and then he can return to the main world.
-------I am the dividing line------
In October of the first year of the Holy Calendar of the Miao Territory, the Miao Territory, which was founded less than a year ago, gathered more than 200,000 people in Luoyang under the leadership of the Miao Saint Ancestor Cangyue Guming (Chengqian), luring the enemy deep into the territory, causing the Song and Xia Allied Forces to At the beginning of the war, nearly 100,000 troops were lost.
After that, the two sides faced off. Although the Miao border side had the advantage of weapons, they were still in the minority. Under the offensive of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty and the "Iron Kites" of the Western Xia Dynasty, regardless of casualties, they also suffered heavy losses. During the three months they held Luoyang, they suffered heavy losses. More than 100,000 people were killed or injured.
During this period, Miao Taizu went to the front line several times to personally kill the enemy and boost morale, which prevented the city wall from falling, but it was still in danger.
Although the Song-Xia coalition had the advantage, it also paid the price of more than 300,000 casualties. Its elite troops, the Western Army and the "Iron Kites", were also lost in this long-term war of attrition.
The allied forces of Song and Xia finally captured the Luoyang city wall in February of the second year of the Miao Kingdom. When the Miao forces turned to street fighting, they even sent Song Ting Dauchi masters and Xixia Yipintang masters to break into the Luoyang Palace in an attempt to implement a beheading strategy to counteract the attack. Miao territory’s determination to fight.
But what he didn't expect was that the intelligence was wrong. Miao Shengzu's strength was far greater than what he had shown in Shaolin that day. He failed to behead him and was killed instead.
All the masters of the Song Dynasty and Xixia were tragically killed by Miao Shengzu's "military disasters and natural dangers".
What was even more unexpected for the Song and Miao coalition forces was that after all the coalition forces entered the city, a huge army suddenly appeared outside the city and surrounded them. It was the more than 300,000 Miao troops that had been trained and put into the battlefield.
This group of Miao troops, armed with more advanced weapons, pushed back the coalition forces that wanted to break out of the city, but the coalition forces were unable to attack Luoyang's inner wall.
As a result, the coalition forces could not push back or advance. After being besieged for a month, they surrendered when they had exhausted their food and grass. The leader of the Song-Xia coalition forces personally launched a desperate charge before the coalition forces surrendered and died heroically for their country.
Then the Miao army in Luoyang City went out of the city to join the Miao army outside the city, leaving some to guard the prisoners, and then went straight to Tongguan.
Due to the lack of troops, Tongguan was captured in less than a day, and then they went straight to Chang'an, where the Song Emperor was located.
By the time Emperor Song received the news that the frontline army had been wiped out, the Miao army had already surrounded the entire city of Chang'an.
The Song Emperor could only hope that the Liao Kingdom could win victory in Liaodong, causing his Miao army to call back for support.
In April of that year, the news of the Liao Kingdom's great victory in Liaodong did not arrive. The first thing he waited for was the news of the fall of Sichuan and other places and Dali's request for help.
This means that Chang'an has been reduced to an isolated city and can no longer receive any support. After that, bad news comes one after another.
In June of that year, Dali surrendered under the auspices of Duan Zhengchun, the king of Zhennan, and the country of Dali was destroyed.
In July of that year, the Miao Territory mobilized to eliminate the 200,000 troops surrounding Chang'an and adopted the "Five Routes to Defeat Xia" strategy. Xixia had lost all its elite troops in the previous Battle of Luoyang. When it encountered the Miao Territory's five-pronged army again, the Xia Army was defeated. Tired of running for their lives, they were finally destroyed by the Xixia army who came for rescue at Shimenkou.
Subsequently, the Hengshan area of Xixia was conquered, and Xixia lost its barrier and faced the danger of national subjugation.
In the next month, the Miao army was unstoppable, winning consecutive battles, and successively conquered all the Hexi prefectures and Hehuang and other places except Xingzhou, the capital of Xixia, and completed the siege of the capital of Xixia.
The city wall of the capital of Xixia could not hold out for three days before it was blasted open by the Miao army's artillery. The entire line was defeated. The king of Xixia had no choice but to leave the city and surrender.
At this point, Xixia, which had been fighting with the Western Army of the Song Dynasty for a long time, was destroyed in August of the second year of Miao Jiang.
In October of that year, Emperor Zhao Xi of the Song Dynasty received the news of the destruction of the Xixia Kingdom in Chang'an City. He couldn't help crying and vomiting blood. He could only let his younger brother Zhao Ji (the original Song Huizong in history) take over the affairs of state. Died ten days later.
After Zhao Xi's death, Zhao Ji became the new emperor of the Song Dynasty, and then he personally left the city to surrender.
At this point, the Song Dynasty was destroyed.
The Liao Kingdom also repeatedly attacked Shanhaiguan (Xinjian) in Miao territory but failed. After receiving news of the demise of the Song Dynasty, the governor could not do anything and withdrew his troops back to the grassland.
Time has come to the fifth year of the Holy Calendar of the Miao Territory. After three years of training, the Miao army has initially digested the territories of Song, Xia, Dali and other countries, and its military strength has increased again.
And during this period, the leader of the Tubo Kingdom surrendered at the suggestion of the Great Lunming King Jiumozhi, and the Miao Kingdom occupied Tibet, Qinghai and other places without spending a single soldier.
On the one hand, Miao Shengzu ordered the assembly of troops to launch a war of annihilation against the Liao Kingdom. On the other hand, he ordered the domestic collection of Taoist classics. Huang Shang took the lead and presided over the compilation of the "Wanshou Taoist Canon". In addition, he also ordered the Shaolin Temple to send the manuscripts of the Seventy-Two Special Skills and the Bodhidharma Sutra to the royal arsenal for copying.
In the sixth year of the Holy Calendar of the Miao Territory, the Miao army captured the capital of the Liao Kingdom. Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Liao Kingdom burned himself in the palace. Xiao Feng, the king of the South Courtyard, fled with his father Xiao Yuanshan and his wife and sister Azi, and has been missing ever since.
In the tenth year of the Miao Kingdom's Holy Calendar, Huang Shang went to the palace with the "Wanshou Taoist Canon" compiled by him. The Miao Saint Ancestor suddenly tried to test it, and all the officials were shocked, because Huang Shang, who was born as a scholar, turned out to be a peerless master.
It turned out that when Huang Shang was compiling the Taoist Scriptures, he learned from the Taoist Canon without a teacher, studied internally and externally, and became a peerless master by himself. Therefore, Miao Shengzu ordered him to write the secrets of martial arts that he had learned.
In the fifteenth year of the Holy Calendar of the Miao Territory, with the support of Miao Saint Ancestor, Huang Shang finally completed his work. On the day when the book was completed, he handed it over to the Holy Ancestor to give him his name and the "Nine Yin Manual", which was included in the royal arsenal and ordered Huang Shang was the general manager of the arsenal and could consult the royal books at will.
Later, the Miao Saint Ancestor felt that this skill was too focused on using softness to overcome hardness, so he created the "Nine Yang Manual" (yes, that one) to counter it, and also included it in the royal arsenal.
In the 30th year of the Holy Calendar of the Miao Territory, the Miao Saint Ancestor passed the throne to the crown prince Qiongxi Guming (currently edited by the former Murong Xing), and then left in pieces.
