Chapter 32 What the People's Heart
Although there is only one step difference between innate perfection and eternal life, since ancient times, more than 90% of practitioners have been unable to further enjoy eternal life after practicing to the realm of innate perfection.
Seeing that Fan Xiaojin advanced to the Long Life in the process of practicing martial arts, these masters who have reached the Long Life also showed envy.
Qing Qiandao people and others are simply envious, while Xiao Yu is more excited while envious.
After Fan Xiaojin advanced to the Long Life, Xiao Yu had another master of Long Life.
When Fan Xiaojin's cultivation was stable in the long life, he stopped his fast-moving figure.
As soon as Fan Xiaojin's figure stopped, the big axe in his hand cracked into small pieces of iron debris and fell to the ground.
When Fan Xiaojin stared at the cracked axe handle in his hand and was in a daze, Qingqian Daoren and others walked forward to Fan Xiaojin to congratulate Fan Xiaojin on his progress to the long-term habitat.
Although Fan Xiaojin is not good at communicating with people, he has a strong personality. When these Qingqian Taoist people and others came forward to congratulate, he answered carefully one by one.
When thousands of Taoist people and others congratulated Fan Xiaojin, Xiao Yu came forward to Fan Xiaojin.
Unlike Qingqian Taoist people and others, Xiao Yu came to Fan Xiaojin's side and just gently patted Fan Xiaojin's shoulder.
Seeing that Fan Xiaojin was still holding the handle of the axe full of cracks, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "The previous axe is no longer suitable for you to use. When I find the right material, I will give you a new axe."
"Thank you, Lord!"
After bowing and saluteing Xiao Yu, Fan Xiaojin carefully took out a piece of cloth and wrapped the cracked axe handle.
Seeing Fan Xiaojin's behavior, Xiao Yu smiled and turned her eyes to Qingqian Taoist people and others.
"Dear Taoist friends, now the water disaster in Pingjiang County has been eliminated, and it's time for Xiao to return to Baishuiguan. I don't know what your Taoist friends plan is?"
Qingqian Daoren looked at several people around him and said with a smile, "Although the water disaster has been eliminated, the impact of the water disaster has not completely disappeared. I'm going to go to those places that have been flooded."
Now that the biggest disaster of the flood has been eliminated, it is a good time to collect faith everywhere. Naturally, these practitioners will not give up such a good opportunity to promote their heart to help the world.
There are some things that can't be said clearly, just tacitly.
Xiao Yu sneered in her heart, but her face was indifferent.
"In that case, Xiao will leave first."
"Xiao Daoyou, have a good journey!"
After the Qingqian Taoist said goodbye to Fan Xiaojin, Xiao Yu and Fan Xiaojin used their bodies and rushed in the direction of Baishui Pass.
Even if Fan Xiaojin can't fully grasp the soaring power in his body now, his speed is much faster than that of his previous cultivation in the realm of innate perfection.
After less than eight hours in a row, Xiao Yu and Fan Xiaojin returned to Baishui Pass after nightfall.
After returning to Baishuiguan, Xiao Yu first prepared a banquet for Fan Xiaojin's advancement, and then discussed with Lin Beiwen and others about pacing Pingjiang County.
As soon as Xiang Yuanji died, Shang Wang sent a general Yang Zhan to Pingjiang County.
Yang Zhan is Yang Shang's cousin and the deputy commander of the bodyguard in front of Shang Wang. In terms of status, he is not much worse than Xiang Yuanji, but in terms of prestige, Yang Zhan, who has not much combat achievements, is much worse than Xiang Yuanji.
At this time, it has been two months since Xiang Yuanji died, but Yang Zhan still did not completely collect the power left by Xiang Yuanji.
After the death of the Hao brothers who guarded Lingyun Ferry for Xiang Yuanji, there were still seven immortal masters under Xiang Yuanji's command. In the war at the end of last year, Meng Zishan was killed by some crazy faceless Taoist people, and there were only six masters of Changsheng under Xiang Yuanji's command.
After the end of the war at the end of last year, only one of the six long-term living masters named Yuan Hai did not retire.
If it hadn't been for Yang Zhan's five Changsheng masters when he received Xiang Yuanji's power, Yuan Hai would be the only Changsheng masters around Yang Zhan.
At present, one county and five prefectures in Pingjiang County are under the absolute control of Yang Zhan, while most of the garrisons stationed in counties and important towns are not fully convinced by Yang Zhan.
According to the inference of Xiao Yu and Lin Beiwen, most counties and important towns will choose to obey Xiao Yu when Xiao Yu leads troops to the city.
When Xiao Yu and Fan Xiaojin went to deal with the flood disaster in Pingjiang County, Lin Beiwen had transferred another 70,000 troops to Baishuiguan.
With 70,000 more troops, the number of troops in Baishuiguan has reached 128,000.
Although these 70,000 troops are not completely elite, Xiao Yu is sure to pacify most of Pingjiang County with 120,000 troops when Yang Zhan can't fully control Pingjiang County.
After discussing the journey of the march and the details of the march, Xiao Yu asked Lin Beiwen and others to go down to prepare for the battle.
When dealing with the aftereffects of the flood in Pingjiang County, Xiao Yu did not use the "Helping to Rebirth the Great Tibetan Sutra" to deduce all kinds of ghosts in the seven prison towers; this night, he still did not deduce the ghosts in the seven prison towers.
At three o'clock the next day, Xiao Yu, who had been dedicated to cultivation all night, led 120,000 troops to leave Baishuiguan.
When he came out of the Baishui Pass, Xiao Yu led a large army to march straight south.
After going south for a day and a half, Xiao Yu led the army to White Bear City.
The geographical location of White Bear City is average, and it does not have much important strategic significance. Therefore, there are only 9,000 permanent defenders in White Bear City.
Before Xiao Yu's army reached the front of the White Bear City, the eagle flag on the gate of the White Bear City began to slowly fall.
When Xiao Yu rode to the gate of White Bear City 70 or 80 feet away, all the flags on the White Bear City disappeared, and the gate of White Bear City also opened.
Seeing such a situation, Xiao Yu and Lin Beiwen looked at each other, and a faint smile appeared on their faces.
With the sound of horses' hoofs coming from the White Bear City, a general with a face of about 50 years old walked out of the White Bear City with 20 cavalry.
After approaching Xiao Yu, the general disothed with the 20 cavalry behind him and knelt down on one knee to Xiao Yu.
"Bai Angui led 9,000 soldiers from White Bear City to join the general and asked the general to accept him."
Bai Angui's move was to surrender to Xiao Yu. He said that he was just a kind of careful thought of covering his ears and stealing bells and deceiving himself.
"General Bai's move avoided a scourge of war, which can be said to be of boundless merit."
Xiao Yu said with a smile, as she lifted it up to Bai Angui and pulled Bai Angui up with Zhenyuan.
Accompanied by Bai Angui, Xiao Yu led 20,000 troops into the White Bear City.
For the vast majority of ordinary people, they don't care who rules them. What they really care about is whether they can live a good life under their rule.
Therefore, in the cities occupied by Xiao Yu, there are small families and small forces that make trouble, but there are almost no people who make trouble.
Ordinary people will not make trouble, and they will not have any joy until the new rulers do something that is really beneficial to them.
On the contrary, because they do not understand what kind of person the new ruler is, after the change of a city, the people in the city are wary of the new ruler.
Xiao Yu successfully received many cities, but he had never been welcomed by the people in the city when he received the city before.
Looking at the people who welcomed her on the street, Xiao Yu felt very uncomfortable and didn't know how to deal with such a scene for a while.
consciously, Xiao Yu stopped the horse.
Seeing Xiao Yu looking at the people on the street, he stopped. Bai Angui, who followed Xiao Yu closely, smiled and said, "The general's acceptance of Bai Xiong City is the people's intention, so these people will come to welcome the general."
Hearing Bai Angui's words, Xiao Yu's heart moved and understood how these people came to the street to greet him.
As far as Xiao Yu knows, although Bai Angui does not have much ability, his prestige in Baixiong City is not low.
Now that the owner of Baixiong City has changed, if it hadn't been for Bai Angui's prior arrangements, these people would never have come to the street to welcome Xiao Yu into the city.
To understand why these people came to welcome him, Xiao Yu no longer felt uncomfortable.
"It is the people's will to accept Bai Xiong City. Isn't General Bai taking the initiative to go out of the city?"
After replying with a smile, Xiao Yu did not look at Bai Angui's embarrassment and drove her horse to the location of the General's Mansion of Baixiong City.
Along the way, Xiao Yu showed enough kindness to these people who were ordered to welcome her predecessors, but won the favor of these people.
After arriving at the general's mansion, Bai Angui took out some of the treasures he had collected.
Xiao Yu is not a greedy person, and she also knows how to win over the general. She took two things that she could use from the treasures offered by Bai Angui, and let Bai Angui take back most of the treasures.
After resting for two hours in Baixiong City, Xiao Yu took the army and went south.
The situation in today's world is relatively clear. Among the kings of Li, the king of Ming and the king of Shang, the first to be destroyed must be the weakest king.
When Yang Zhan could not fully control Pingjiang County, many generals of Pingjiang County had the intention of relying on the King of Ming.
In just ten days, Xiao Yu occupied most of the western part of Pingjiang County with little obstruction.
After six or seven days of rectification, Xiao Yu did not continue to calm down other places in Pingjiang County, but went to Xijiang County to the west of Pingjiang County.
As Xiao Yu speculated, Yang Zhan did not dare to watch Xiao Yu attack Xijiang County.
Xiao Yu has just attacked a small county at the junction of Pingjiang County and Xijiang County. Yang Zhan, who had not launched an active attack on Xiao Yu, walked out of Pingjiang City with 180,000 troops.
When fighting a siege, unless one side has an absolute advantage, the attacking party is at a disadvantage.
Xiao Yu made the move of Xijiang County because she didn't want to attack Pingjiang City, which was defended by Yang Zhan.
Now Yang Zhan was transferred out by him, and Xiao Yu naturally transferred troops to meet Yang Zhan.
Across the Turtle Mountain, which is about 130 miles away from Pingjiang City, Xiao Yu's 120,000 troops confronted Yang Zhan's 180,000 troops.
