Not long after the first attack on Liao, the new emperor of Liao, Yelu Chun, fell seriously ill and died soon after. Huizong heard the news and thought there was an opportunity. In July, he sent Tong Guan to send troops again, and appointed Liu Yanqing, the governor of Heyang Sancheng, who was known as the famous general, as the capital commander, replacing Zhongshi Dao.
The Kingdom of Jin heard that Tong Guan was sending troops and was afraid that once the Song army occupied Yanjing, the 500,000-year-old coins originally promised by the Song Dynasty would not be available, so while contacting the Song Dynasty, they also quickly sent troops. At this time, the Liao Kingdom was leaderless, and the internal struggle for power became more and more serious, and it was on the verge of destruction.
After Lu Yi came to Tong Guan's army, Tong Guan ordered Li Er to lead an army alone. In addition to continuing to command his own 1,000 sergeants, Tong Guan also assigned 9,000 sergeants to Li Er, making up exactly 10,000 people.
Although Tong Guan was defeated in the last attack on the Liao Dynasty, his power in the court was still undiminished. This can be seen from the fact that Huizong still sent Tong Guan on the expedition this time. Naturally, no one in the Song army dared to say anything about Tong Guan's arrangement.
The sergeants assigned by Tong Guan naturally have no fighting ability, but Lu Yi is not short of money and food now. Li Ruowei has already connected with Tong Guan, and now sells illegal salt and makes a lot of profits every day. If a large amount of money and food are allocated, morale will naturally be boosted. If Li Er trains for a period of time, these sergeants will also have considerable combat effectiveness.
After joining up with Tong Guan, Tong Guan's army rushed towards Yizhou and Zhuozhou. The situation this time was very different from the previous attack on Liao. The Liao country was already in danger. At Lu Yi's suggestion, Tong Guan wrote to Zhuozhou garrison Guo Yaoshi to persuade him to surrender. Unexpectedly, Guo Yaoshi surrendered without saying a word.
Medical Master Guo also saw that the Liao Kingdom was in danger, so he thought of his own way out: surrender to the Song Dynasty. This ever-victorious army led by Guo Pharmacist was a powerful force of the Liao Dynasty, Sheji Qiancheng, which was completely different from the army of the Song Dynasty. Under Lu Yi's arrangement, Guo Pharmacist's troops were still stationed in Zhuozhou.
Due to Guo Yaoshi's surrender, the Liao Kingdom was suddenly panicked. Seeing that nothing could be done, the general of Yizhou also hurriedly surrendered to the Song Dynasty. This allowed the Song Dynasty to gain two cities without spending a single soldier. In a short time, the Song Dynasty The morale of the soldiers soared.
The attack on the Liao Dynasty went so smoothly, the Song army naturally wanted to pursue the victory. Liu Yanqing immediately led the army to Yanjing, preparing to capture the Nanjing Road of the Liao Kingdom in one fell swoop. In this way, the Northern Song Dynasty's goal of recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was achieved.
Lu Yi naturally knew the strength of the Song Army. This time the Northern Expedition seemed to go smoothly, but the Song Army was unable to attack Yanjing for a long time, and was counterattacked by the Liao Kingdom. In the end, it ended up in a huge defeat. .
If he had known about this situation, Lu Yi would naturally not go to Yanjing to join in the fun, and stayed in Zhuozhou City with Tong Guan. Under Tong Guan's arrangement, Li Er's 10,000 men were also stationed in Zhuozhou City. This was the foundation place that Lu Yi had planned long ago, and many things could now be arranged.
In the following months, the Northern Song Dynasty army was unable to attack Yanjing City, and the two sides were still in a stalemate. In the past few months, Lu Yi had put an iron barrel into the construction of Zhuozhou City. Not only had he replaced all the officials from top to bottom with his own people, he had also secretly subdued Pharmacist Guo.
This Guo Yaoshi was also a good general. Not only was he good at fighting, but he was also known to be resourceful. However, he was not taken seriously after surrendering to the Song Dynasty. Of course, there was also Lu Yi's instruction in this, and he deliberately caused Pharmacist Guo to be marginalized so that Lu Yi could come forward and use some means to subdue Pharmacist Guo. (This article is not a historical article, so military battles will be omitted as much as possible, and the focus will be on the Jianghu!)
Tong Guan wielded power in both the government and the public, so he naturally had no shortage of means. It was with Tong Guan's help that Lu Yi was able to subdue Yaoshi Guo. After conquering Yaoshi Guo and integrating Yaoshi Guo's army, Lu Yi's strength was also enhanced. Guo Yaoshi's army was a powerful force in the Liao Kingdom, not comparable to the army of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Cuibeishan had accumulated a large amount of money and food from selling private salt over the years. In the past few months, Lu Yi had poured out a large amount of money and food, and the morale of his sergeants had soared. Under Li Er's training, these soldiers have begun to take shape compared with the past.
Secretly, Lu Yi also organized a bomb force of 3,000 people, trained according to special methods, and directly commanded by Li Er. For this army, Lu Yi selected young and strong elites. Once they are successfully trained, they will become Lu Yi's biggest trump card.
Apart from these trivial matters, Lu Yi still practiced diligently during this period. After entering the innate realm, you must constantly polish your innate true energy and make your own innate true energy gradually stronger. This is a hard work and requires time to accumulate slowly. It is difficult to make a big breakthrough in a short period of time.
In terms of moves, Lu Yi has made great progress. After breaking into the innate realm, Lu Yi's vision was completely different. Tai Chi was gradually perfected in Lu Yi's hands, and Lu Yi had already practiced the Dugu Nine Swords to an extremely advanced level. It was somewhat difficult to break through again.
"I practice the most top-notch skills, but these skills are not my own way!" While practicing, Lu Yi was also constantly thinking about his own martial arts.
Whether it's the Dugu Nine Swords, the Nine Sun Magic Technique, or Tai Chi, they are all the top techniques. But these skills are not martial arts created by Lu Yi. If he continues along the path of his predecessors, Lu Yi believes that he will gradually reach the pinnacle of martial arts in this world.
Lu Yi had seen the pinnacle of this world in Dugu Qiubei. But this is not Lu Yi's ultimate pursuit. With such divine objects as the Heavenly Creation Tower, Lu Yi naturally has to make further progress. Breaking through the peak of this world is Lu Yi's ultimate goal.
"Originally, I thought Tai Chi was my martial art. This boxing method can be said to be my own creation. It is very different from the Tai Chi on Blue Star, but now it seems that it still has traces of my predecessors!" Lu Yi Secretly thinking about his own martial arts, he gradually discovered the problem.
There is no doubt that Tai Chi reaches the pinnacle of martial arts. Even Dugu Qiufei once marveled at it. But the theoretical basis of Tai Chi was not created by Lu Yi. With his extraordinary understanding, Lu Yi advanced Tai Chi to a state of no thought, no self, and invincibility. It is actually very rare, but it is almost impossible to make a breakthrough.
"If it's not yours, it's not yours after all!" Almost every innate strong man will create his own martial arts. Lu Yi originally thought that his martial arts was Tai Chi, but now it seems that it is somewhat limited.
Tai Chi is a boxing technique that is a collection of Taoist masters, but it was with the help of Wang Chongyang that Lu Yi created this technique. Later, Wang Chongyang perfected this boxing technique before teaching it to Lu Yi again.
Tai Chi is not so much a boxing technique created by Lu Yi as it was created by Wang Chongyang. It contains Wang Chongyang's martial arts thoughts, but these are not Lu Yi's. What Lu Yi wanted was to truly create his own Tai Chi and completely break away from Wang Chongyang's influence.
In fact, what Dugu Qiubai said at the time was correct. If he only reached the pinnacle of martial arts in this world, today's Tai Chi would naturally be enough. But what Lu Yi wanted was a higher and stronger realm, so he had to innovate and find his own way.
"Why can't I integrate my thoughts and will into Tai Chi and create my own Tai Chi!" Once this idea arises, it will be difficult to get rid of it.
"Boxing is an extension of one's own will. Different people perform the same boxing, and the artistic conception of the boxing will be different. Practicing boxing is like being a human being, and the intention of boxing is like the human heart. If you want to practice boxing, you must understand yourself!" Lu Yi kept thinking and gradually gained a new understanding of boxing.
"My greatest opportunity is the All-Heavens Creation Tower. After owning the All-Heavens Creation Tower, I am destined to travel through thousands of worlds and seize all kinds of creations to achieve myself!" Lu Yi understood that his greatest opportunity is the All-Heavens Creation Tower, and having the All-Heavens Creation Tower After the creation tower of the heavens, Lu Yi would inevitably travel to various worlds to seize creation.
"So I can use Tai Chi as the core, absorb countless boxing techniques from all over the world, cultivate hundreds of classics in one furnace, and create truly invincible Tai Chi!" Thinking of this, Lu Yi has gradually understood what his future path should be. Walk.
In fact, Lu Yi had known this path for a long time, and many arrangements in this world were also aimed at this goal. It was just that the authorities were confused, and it was only then that Lu Yi truly understood his future path.
As the saying goes, when the mind is clear, the fist will be born. After Lu Yi understood his own path, he continued to practice boxing. Combining the subtleties of many boxing techniques and integrating his own thoughts into the boxing techniques, Lu Yi's boxing techniques have gradually taken shape.
"The Pisces Cycle of Tai Chi Yin and Yang, including the Dao of Heaven and Earth, is the supreme essence. If you want to perfect this Tai Chi, it actually has to fall on the two characters of Yin and Yang!" At this time, the Tai Chi in Lu Yi's hands became extremely immature, as if Baby steps. However, the prototype of the boxing technique has already appeared. Lu Yi only needs to continue to improve this boxing technique, and he will eventually find his own path.
"Use yourself as a melting pot, constantly integrate different boxing techniques and martial arts, and refine them into steel. Then you will naturally become the strongest fist, capable of suppressing all kinds of opponents with one force!" The more Lu Yi thought about it, the clearer it became. The boxing techniques he had seen in the past began to appear in front of his eyes, and Begins to gradually integrate into his own boxing skills.
While Lu Yi was practicing hard, a figure was gradually approaching Zhuozhou City. It was midnight at this time, and there was no starlight in the dark night sky. In a few flashes, this figure had crossed the tall city wall of Zhuozhou City and disappeared in Zhuozhou City in the blink of an eye.
The black figure moved quickly in Zhuozhou City. This black figure seemed to be extremely familiar with Zhuozhou City. It hardly stopped for a moment while moving quickly. Soon, this black figure came to the garrison of Zhuozhou City, which was Tong Guan's mansion.
The black figure's martial arts skills were also extremely high. He kept moving quickly in the defensive position without alerting the guards in the defensive position. Soon the black figure arrived outside Tong Guan's courtyard.
The black figure made several leaps in the air and landed in Tong Guan's courtyard. However, at this time, the black figure discovered that a person was already standing in front of Tong Guan's door.
