At this time, the Northern Kingdom of Jin was still licking its wounds, with no more than 100,000 soldiers available to fight in the country. Moreover, because the two armies were destroyed by Lu Yi, other foreign races on the grassland were already ready to move. At this time, the Jin Kingdom did not have the strength to look south again.
As for Zhao Gou in the south, it can be seen from history that this man has no ambitions. If Lu Yi didn't go to him to trouble him, he would have burned incense. How could he still have the courage to trouble Lu Yi? So now the only one that still poses a threat to Lu Yi is Xixia in the northwest.
Speaking of which, Xixia was seeking its own death. In the past, the Song Dynasty would give Xixia coins every year, which was actually spending money to buy peace. Now that the Central Plains was occupied by Lu Yi, Xixia actually asked Lu Yi for coins as usual.
Which is unbearable? You must know that Lu Yi had just annihilated the Jin army and occupied the Central Plains. The Jin army did not dare to go south. Xixia actually dared to ask Lu Yi for money, which angered the group of arrogant soldiers under Lu Yi's command.
On that day, Lu Yi asked Pharmacist Guo to lead an army of 100,000 to conquer Xixia. In order to avoid accidents, Lu Yi specially asked Yaoshi Guo to bring a large number of Thunder God Strikes. Lu Yi wanted to destroy Xixia in one fell swoop, leaving no further trouble.
After occupying the Central Plains, the manufacturing of Thunder God Strike no longer needed to be secretive, and the output had been qualitatively improved. Now that Lu Yi has the Thunder God Strike, he can launch a war to destroy the country. Moreover, as time goes by, Lu Yi will only have more and more Thunder God Strikes.
Guo Yaoshi led an army of 100,000 people and won consecutive battles. The thunder god attacked the city and destroyed the land without any disadvantage. In just three months, Pharmacist Guo occupied most of Xixia's territory and was about to completely destroy Xixia.
After hearing the news, Lu Yi's subordinates were excited. Under the persuasion of the ministers, Lu Yi planned to hold a public ceremony to worship the heaven and officially ascend the throne as emperor after Guo Yaoshi returned to the court.
"I don't know how much luck I can get this time!" For such a long time, Lu Yi has not ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, let alone established a country title. He is just preparing to harvest luck in one fell swoop when his strength has accumulated to a certain level.
The so-called reputation is not justified. Whether it was occupying Zhuozhou City or destroying the eastern and western armies of the Jin Kingdom, Lu Yi gained a certain amount of luck, but the luck was not much. The main reason was that Lu Yi had not yet established his reputation. Number.
Once Lu Yi ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor and establishes the name of the country, with the current strength of Lu Yi, who can resist the Jin Kingdom in the north, destroy Xixia in the west, and occupy half of the mountains and rivers in the Central Plains, Lu Yi will reap a huge wave of luck. Lu Yi didn't know exactly how much luck he could get, but he knew that this amount of luck would never let him down.
One month later, Xixia suffered successive defeats under Guo Yaoshi's conquests, and was about to be destroyed. The leader of the Xixia Kingdom hurriedly sent envoys to submit a surrender form to Lu Yi, willing the whole country to surrender and become Lu Yi's vassal state. Of course, Lu Yi would not allow it. After more than a month, Xixia was destroyed.
News of the fall of Xixia quickly spread throughout the world. At this time, Lu Yi was already at the peak of his power, and countless generals and advisers came to surrender. Everyone can see that Lu Yi has achieved great success at this time, and it is only a matter of time before he can bring peace to the world.
Three months later, Lu Yi held a ceremony to worship heaven in Kaifeng City and officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Originally, Lu Yi wanted to move the capital elsewhere, but because it would take too long to establish the capital elsewhere, Lu Yi could only give up temporarily and wait until later to move the capital.
After the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, Lu Yi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, named the country Ming, named Li Er and Guo Yaoshi as generals, named Quanzhen Sect of Zhongnanshan as the state religion, named Chongyang Zhenren Wang Chongyang as the protector of the country, and named Yang Xiyan As a noble concubine.
"I didn't expect that I actually got so much luck!" When the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony ended and the Ming Dynasty was officially established, a message came from the Heavenly Creation Tower, and Lu Yi's luck increased again.
Luck value +500
The current luck value is 580 (if you stay in this world for 7 years, 70 luck points will be deducted)
A one-time increase of 500 points of luck was not only the luck of Lu Yi establishing the Ming Dynasty and occupying half of the country, but also the luck of the destruction of Xixia. At this point, Lu Yi already had a lot of luck. Even if he chose to travel independently, his luck would be enough.
Doing the math, it has been more than seven years since Lu Yi came to the world of "Martial Arts of the Song Dynasty". In these seven years, Lu Yi has not only made rapid progress in martial arts, but also earned a lot of luck points. Even now, Lu Yi returns to the wild world. It was also profitable. As for the tiger monster, Lu Yi's current strength was enough to deal with it.
However, Lu Yi naturally would not stop there. Whether it was strength or luck, Lu Yi had greater ambitions. In this world, Lu Yi is ready to accumulate enough foundation to lay a solid foundation for the future.
After a year of recuperation, in the second year of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Yi led an army of 200,000, known as an army of 500,000, to march south. After Zhao Gou heard the news, he was in panic all day long. He hurriedly mobilized his army and gathered an army of 300,000, which was known as an army of 600,000. He relied on the Yangtze River's natural moat to resist Lu Yi's army.
The Song Dynasty's army was still the same, with a large number of people, but low combat effectiveness. However, this time there were several outstanding generals in the Song Dynasty army, led by Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, who caused a lot of trouble for Lu Yi.
However, the general trend of the world is now on Lu Yi's side. Since ancient times, the north has unified the south, and the south has not yet unified the north. What's more, Lu Yi's army was well-trained and even had divine objects like the Thunder God Strike.
Under the destructive power of the Thunder God, Xiangyang City was destroyed, and the Yangtze River natural moat that the Song Dynasty relied on was no longer a threat. No matter how powerful Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were, they could not reverse the situation.
This time, many outstanding generals emerged in Lu Yi's army, such as Xin Qiji, Zhang Jun and others. Under the command of these outstanding generals, the Ming army was as powerful as a rock. After conquering Xiangyang, it became even more powerful.
Now Lin'an City is in shock three times a day, and Zhao Gou can't sleep at night. Seeing that Lu Yi's army was about to cross the Yangtze River and approach Lin'an City, there would be no other way to find Zhao Gou but to continue running away.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Shenhou Mansion is planning to send people to assassinate Your Majesty again this time!" On this day, Yang Baitian hurriedly came to Lu Yi's army with a panic look on his face.
"It's just an assassination, there's nothing to panic about!" Lu Yi looked calm. With Lu Yi's current strength, he really didn't believe that anyone else in the world could assassinate him.
"This time is different. I have received news that the masters invited by the Shenhou Mansion this time are of great importance. Your Majesty must not underestimate them!" Yang Baitian said hurriedly, with a solemn look on his face.
"Oh? Who are they specifically?" Lu Yi was a little curious. Are there other masters in this world?
"According to the information I got, Zhao Gou personally came to invite Xiao Li Feidao, and God Lord Zhuge even invited the old sword god Xie Xiaofeng who had been in seclusion at Shenjian Villa for 20 years, as well as Xie Xiaofeng, who had been in retreat for 30 years. Zhao Qian, the Heavenly Sword, and Kong Ming, the divine monk of Shaolin Temple!" Yang Baitian said in a solemn tone.
"Shaolin Temple actually dares to take action. It seems they don't want to live anymore!" Shaolin Temple is located in the Ming Dynasty. They actually dare to take action this time. They treat Lu Yi as if he is nothing. It is simply too presumptuous.
"Your Majesty, please do not underestimate me. These people are all legends in the world, and their martial arts skills are superior to mine!" Yang Baitian looked solemn as he explained the origins of these people to Lu Yi in detail.
Xiao Li's flying swordsmanship has always been a success, and has become a legend in the world. According to Yang Baitian, Xiao Li Feidao and Li Xunhuan's martial arts cultivation has reached the realm of heaven and man. Even Yang Baitian, who has perfect innate perfection, is absolutely no match for him.
Xie Xiaofeng, the old swordsman of Shenjian Villa, was a master of the innate Dzogchen realm thirty years ago. However, he lost a single move against Dugu Qiufeng. Since then, Xie Xiaofeng has been in seclusion for thirty years. No one knows the extent of Xie Xiaofeng's strength, but it must be very terrifying to think about it.
Heavenly Sword Zhao Qian is said to be a member of the royal family. When he became famous in the world in his early years, he and Xie Xiaofeng were known as the masters of swordsmanship. This man's sword skills are extremely domineering, so he has the name of Heavenly Sword, and his strength is by no means inferior to the sword god Xie Xiaofeng.
As for the Shaolin monk Kong Ming, Yang Baitian didn't know much about him. He only knew that he was a figure from the previous generation of Shaolin Temple and his reputation was not well known in the world. But since this person was invited to assassinate Lu Yi along with the previous three, he must not be inferior to those three in terms of strength.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was established only a short time ago, and it was Lu Yi who established it out of impossibility. In the Ming Dynasty, Lu Yi had absolute prestige, but correspondingly, the safety of the Ming Dynasty also depended on Lu Yi alone.
If Lu Yi was assassinated and killed, the Ming Dynasty would collapse in an instant, so Zhao Gou and the Shenhou Mansion tried every means to invite these four masters. As long as these four masters can successfully assassinate Lu Yi, the Song Dynasty will not only be able to turn the corner, but also be able to counterattack the Central Plains and reunify the country.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a master hidden in the martial arts world!" After listening to Yang Baitian's words, Lu Yi was slightly absent-minded, his tone full of excitement.
Originally, Lu Yi thought that the top master in the world was none other than an innate Dzogchen like Yang Baitian, but the four people Yang Baitian mentioned just now, without exception, were all stronger than Yang Baitian. As for what level of strength these people have reached, even Yang Baitian is not very clear.
Dugu Qiufei's martial arts cultivation has undoubtedly reached the pinnacle of this world. It is rare to see such a warrior in hundreds of years. Now, these four people are very likely to be in the same state as Dugu Qiubai. How can this not make Lu Yi excited?
"Your Majesty, these four people are not trivial, it's better to stay away from the edge for now!" Yang Baitian saw Lu Yi's expression and already guessed Lu Yi's plan, so he couldn't help but remind him.
"If you pass the order, I will wait for the four masters here. When the time comes, I will have a fair fight with the four masters!" Lu Yi said firmly.
"Your Majesty!" Yang Baitian said anxiously.
"The martial arts has reached its peak, and there are no more thousands of troops. If I don't fight and these four masters hide in secret, won't I have to be on guard day and night? What's more, do you think I will definitely lose?" Lu Yi said.
"Could it be your Majesty?" Yang Baitian's expression moved slightly and he said in disbelief.
