A month ago, since the Battle of Huainan and Shandong, the Sui Dynasty lost its sharpest weapons, lost its generals and lost its elite troops, and could no longer command and dispatch the various places. Moreover, chaos was constantly everywhere, and soldiers and bandits were blocked. Even if there were loyal ministers, they could not communicate and communicate, and government orders could no longer enter and exit the eastern capital Luoyang.

Emperor Yang Guang of Sui also spent all day seeking fun in the harem, living drunk and dreaming, and never paying attention to the government affairs again. The ministers of the Sui Dynasty also began to have their own thoughts and were ready to move...

In Taiyuan, Li Yuan executed Gao Junya and Wang Wei for the crime of colluding with the enemy and traitoring the country. Then, Pei Ji, the supervisor of Jinyang Palace, opened Jinyang Palace and presented Li Yuan with 400,000 sets of soldiers, nearly one million stones of grain, countless silver and various equipment and military tents.

Li Yuan immediately recruited righteous men from various counties in Hedong. There were many recruits. Within ten days, Li Yuan recruited more than 80,000 soldiers, all equipped with regular military armor. So far, Li Yuan had nearly 200,000 troops, strong troops, and rich in money and grain.

At this time, Li Yuan had widely circulated the prophecy: "The law exists, the morality is there, and the emperor in white goes out of the East China Sea." Even a three-year-old child in Hedong knew about it, Li Yuan ordered the three armies to change the flag and change the flag, and white was the most respected. The soldiers of the three armies wrapped in white cloth on their left arms, and he himself rode a white horse, wore a white robe, and a silver helmet. He called himself the Duke of White. He respected him as the general and established the General's Mansion.

Pei Ji was appointed as the chief secretary, Liu Wenjing was appointed as the Sima, Tang Jian and Wen Daya were appointed as the military officers, Wen Dayou was appointed as the clerk, Wu Shi was appointed as the military officer of Kai Cao, Liu Zhenghui, Cui Shanwei, Zhang Yuandao was appointed as the military officer of the household, Liu Hongji was appointed as the military officer of the palace, Changsun Shunde, Dou Cong, Wang Changxi, Jiang Baoyi, and Yangtun were appointed as the left-right commanders.

Li Yuan also named the crown prince Li Jian as Duke Longxi, the commander-in-chief of the left, the second son Li Shimin as Dunhuang, and the general of the right, the two of them commanded 50,000 troops, and all of them established officials. Li Yuanji was the prefect of Taiyuan, and led 30,000 troops to stay in Jinyang Palace. He then divided his troops into two groups and marched towards Guanzhong.

In early March of the 12th year of Daye, Duke of Tang and Li Yuan, the remaining guard in Taiyuan, announced that the empty thieves in Guanzhong were rising everywhere and wanted to attack, so they led an army of 150,000 to march towards Guanzhong, officially kicking off the prelude to Li Yuan's rebellion against Sui.

At the same time, Zhang Lun, a powerful man from Yanmen, rebelled against Liu Wuzhou and surrendered to Yanmen County. Li Yuan then ordered him to be the Western Army to seize Hedong, and later Tang Kelishi, Longquan and Wencheng counties, guarding Bingzhou and one place.

The other army was rebelled by the local heroic warrior Wu, and then led the general Liu Shilong to fight eastward. The army was becoming more and more powerful. Many chivalrous armies such as Hengshan County, Xi Shiling, etc. surrendered Zhao County and Boling County, which shocked Hebei. The Sui general Zhang Zi'ang surrendered the county, and Li Yuan then established Julu County.

Later, he returned to Jinyang City, defeated Liu Wuzhou, blocked the Sui army from the north, attacked Shangdang and Changping, and then defeated the main force of the Liang army invading the south, attacked the northern part of the Shangjun, and won the majority of Yan'an County.

The main force, starting from late April, as Li Yuan's army quickly moved south, the road was unstoppable. The civil and military officials of various counties opened the city to surrender, defeating Taiyuan County, Xihe County, and Jiang County, and rushed into Hedong County, and the troops were directed to Guanzhong.

In Hebei, the Emperor of Sui sent General Xue Shixiong, the Right Guard, to lead 30,000 troops to attack Dou Jiande. At night, he led thousands of death-death soldiers to attack Dou Jiande in the swamp on the southern border of Hejian County. Thirty thousand Sui troops collapsed, Xue Shixiong died, and all the Sui troops were incorporated.

Later, he defeated Wei Daoer, who was surrounded by Shanggu County and Hengshan County, surrendered and annexed his troops, and then defeated Yang Shanhui, a Sui general who was entrenched in Wei County. He led nearly 10,000 elite Sui troops. He also ordered Liu Heita, Wang Fubao, and Wei Daoer to fight south and north, almost unify Hebei.

In this regard, Dou Jiande ruled the area north of the Yellow River and east of the Taihang Mountains, established the capital in Leshou, renamed the Jincheng Palace, established the Daxia Kingdom, and opened the way to the north.

Further north, Luo Yi of Youzhou led his troops to establish himself, and was appointed as the general manager of Youzhou. He sent his son Luo Cheng to sweep the peace in the territory. He only led the cavalry of Youzhou to occupy the north and quietly watched the turbulent mountains and rivers in the south.

In the northeast, the Liaodong and western Liaoning areas were vacant because the Sui army and the Goryeo army had fought for several years. Taking this opportunity, the bandit Gao Kaidao called on the countryside to conquer cities and territory, spread money, and recruited powerful people. They also obtained the armor and grain money stored by the Sui army in Liaodong. The mercenaries became independent and called the King of Yan, fighting with Luo Yi in the West and Dou Jiande in the South.

As a result, the situation in the world gradually became clearer. From east to south, from the south, Liu Yueqing in Hanting, Xiao Xian in Xiliang, Zhu Jie in Nanyang, and Que in Lingnan Song, while the Bashu area still had no common rule in autonomy.

From west to east in the north, from west Qin Xueju, Xiliang Li Gui, Tang Wang Li Yuan, Liang Wang Liang Shidu, Dingyang Emperor Liu Wuzhou, Xia Wang Dou Jiande, Youzhou Chief Manager Luo Yi, and Yan King Gao Kaidao.

Between the north and the south, there were Li Mi who occupied the Central Plains and the Sui Dynasty, which was only Luoyang and Hongnong.

At this point, the situation in the world has completely emerged.

……………………

In the south of the Yangtze River, the Poyang Lake area, the Yuzhang Palace.

Liu Yueqing stood in the courtyard, quietly looking up at the night sky, the bright moon and the stars, feeling the slight tides around, smelling the fragrance of green grass and trees...

Thinking about the evolution of the world inside and outside the territory, and the chaos...

He said to himself: "It's time to go to Lingnan, and I'll meet the 'Sky Knife' for a while..."

He originally practiced the national art of thoroughly exploring the potential of the human body from the time and space of dragons and snakes, and practiced the method of extraordinary spirit, achieving the "indestruction of seeing the spirit" and "indestruction of Vajra". At this time, he practiced the Taoist secret record "The Secret of Eternal Life", and finally achieved the perfection of essence, energy, spirit, and three combinations, and all achieved great success, and the secret of breaking the void.

The "The Art of Eternal Life" passed down by Guangchengzi has been a master of its wonder for nearly a thousand years, and no one can follow its method. It was not until the two dragons once again appeared. They were peerless martial arts geniuses who were born in thousands of years. They were gifted and different from ordinary people. They each obtained a yin and yang article in "The Art of Eternal Life" and then followed them to spread the world.

The so-called Taoist secret book "The Secret of Eternal Life" is woven into a thread of mysterious gold, and water and fire are difficult to invade. It was written by Guangchengzi, a Taoist wise master of the emperor, and has been passed down for thousands of years. There are seven chapters in it, written in oracle bone inscriptions, divided into yin, yang, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and the five elements.

Those who practice "The Eternal Life" are very easy to communicate with the world, understand the rules of all things, and can quickly extract the vital energy of the world around them, either replenish themselves or use them for others. The true energy can be said to be endless...

The seven chapters of "The Eternal Life" have the same roots and origins. As long as you practice one of them, you can get a kind of innate true energy. If you practice it in the two chapters of Yin and Yang, then the movement, stillness, cold and heat, and the rotation of Yin and Yang can form a system. If you practice it separately, the two will still be extremely strong when they fight together.

And Liu Yueqing...

Standing quietly in the courtyard with his eyes closed, Liu Yueqing's body, and the yin and yang and five elements were in the five elements. A total of seven innate true qi wandered around the world. The seven qi were the same root and the same origin. One stool was seven, and seven stool was one. It formed a small world, which was repeated over and over again, and even faintly connected the ancestral orifices between the eyebrows...
