Li Yongxuan's Northern Expedition went so smoothly. In addition to being equipped with a large number of muskets and artillery, the most important thing was that Mongolia repeatedly attacked Sichuan and Chongqing, all with the purpose of weakening the Song Dynasty's strength.

The Mongolian army is small and the battle line is too long, so it is easy for the troops to be dispersed and defeated one by one. Especially in the mountains of Shu, there are dense forests, which makes it difficult to take advantage of the Mongolian cavalry.

They mainly engaged in plundering and killing. Once the army retreated, only a few puppet troops were left to defend the city.

Li Yongxuan led his army to deal with the puppet army, which was like destroying the dead.

This was the main reason why he reorganized his troops. He selected strong soldiers, including many puppet soldiers and many people who had fled to the mountains to avoid the war.

Although they were forced by circumstances and had no choice but to take precautions, Li Yongxuan had to take precautions.

In order to prevent them from being timid before fighting or even running away at the critical moment, affecting the situation of the war.

The soldiers and horses have not moved yet, and the sentinels go ahead.

Li Yongxuan led the army to rest for a month in Nanzheng, Lizhou East Road, and was preparing to march westward when he received news that the Song Emperor sent an imperial envoy to announce the decree.

He hesitated for a while and then decided to go to Lin'an Mansion to meet the saint.

If Li Yongxuan did not straighten out his relationship with the Song Dynasty, people would continue to hold him back during his northern expedition to Mongolia.

It will be more difficult to achieve success.

Half a month later, Li Yongxuan followed the Han River into the river and went eastward to Lin'an Mansion.

Maybe because he didn't get promoted this time, he didn't get anything or skills.

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty summoned Li Yongxuan to the capital just to take over Jincheng smoothly, as well as the troops and horses in Li Yongxuan's hands, and to test whether he was loyal.

Seeing Li Yongxuan arriving as scheduled, Emperor Song couldn't help but feel a little proud.

No matter how high your martial arts skills are, no matter how great your achievements are, you still have to obey the orders of an imperial edict?

Knowing that Emperor Song wanted to take over Jincheng and deprive him of the troops and horses, Li Yongxuan remained calm on the surface, but he had already made up his mind.

After leaving the palace and returning to the post house, Li Yongxuan found that he was being watched, but he didn't care.

After nightfall, he put on his night clothes, slipped out, and sneaked into the palace.

Li Yongxuan's light kung fu is unparalleled in the world, only Xiao Longnu can compare with it, and his martial arts is unparalleled. Coupled with his super sensory skills, entering and exiting the back garden of the imperial city is like no one else.

Although he had no one to provide information, he quickly found Zhao Yun.

To his surprise, Li Yongxuan discovered that someone else had sneaked into the harem of the imperial city. This person was not only extremely powerful in martial arts, but also had superb light kung fu.

After a while, Li Yongxuan followed the man to a dormitory.

The man set a fire in the palace, then turned around and set fires in other palaces.

Only then did Li Yongxuan realize that this man wanted to fish in troubled waters and deliberately set fire to the palace to create chaos.

After a while, the quiet palace became lively and noisy.

Some people screamed, some cried, some put out the fire, some fled in panic, and some went to report to the emperor...

Emperor Song finally couldn't sit still and came out of the palace with a bunch of people, asking people to put out the fire.

Most of the palaces in the imperial city are civil engineering works and are connected together. Once they burn down, it is difficult to put them out.

Li Yongxuan originally thought that the man's goal was to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate the emperor, but what he didn't expect was that the man actually sneaked into the palace.

"Who?"

As soon as Li Yongxuan went in with the man, he heard a woman yelling.

Just by listening to her voice, you can tell that she is very young, very beautiful, and has very high martial arts skills.

The man was startled: "I didn't expect that the imperial concubines could have such powerful masters!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped out of the palace.

Li Yongxuan thought that Zhao Yun had just left this palace and would probably come back when everyone put out the fire in the palace.

So he didn't leave in a hurry, but took this opportunity to sneak into the palace.

The woman who spoke before ordered the maid serving beside her to go down. Just as she was about to go to bed, Li Yongxuan tapped her acupuncture point and said: "If you don't want to die, just be honest and answer whatever you ask!"

As expected, this woman was about twenty years old, not only very beautiful, but also very enchanting.

She looked at Li Yongxuan doubtfully and nodded.

Although the woman's mute point was tapped and she was unable to speak, there was no problem with her movement.

"Who are you?"

Li Yongxuan brought a cup of tea, put it on the table and asked the woman to write.

Originally, he wanted to use the soul-moving technique, but unfortunately the woman was too mentally strong and determined, so he could only use ordinary methods.

After some communication, Li Yongxuan learned that this woman was Yan Guifei, the most beloved concubine of Song Emperor Zhao Yun.

At first, Concubine Yan refused to tell her true identity. It was not until Li Yongxuan said that she would be executed on the spot that she confessed that she was a Mongolian spy who had sneaked into the Song Emperor's side, just to take the opportunity to cause trouble to the Song Dynasty and create trouble for the Mongolian invasion.

Song created favorable conditions.

This beauty trick is not new. Many years ago, the State of Yue offered Xi Shi to confuse the King of Wu.

Although Li Yongxuan felt suspicious, thinking about it, what Yan Guifei said was not unreasonable.

He thought about it and decided to cooperate with Concubine Yan.

Anyway, Li Yongxuan was completely disappointed with the Song Dynasty. Instead of letting Mongolia break up the mountains and rivers and flow into rivers of blood, it would be better to provide him with conveniences, gain more benefits, and strengthen his own power.

After Yan Guifei learned Li Yongxuan's true identity, she was both shocked and surprised.

She didn't expect that the person in front of her was Li Yongxuan, the leader of the martial arts alliance who had recently become famous and had unparalleled martial arts skills. No wonder she didn't notice him coming in at all.

What's more, he didn't expect that Li Yongxuan, as a minister of the Song Dynasty, would dare to break into the palace of the imperial city and blatantly propose to cooperate with him.

Concubine Yan Guifei's life is now in Li Yongxuan's hands, how can she refuse?

She promised to persuade Song Emperor Zhao Yun to let Li Yongxuan lead the Song army in the northern expedition to the Central Plains and provide supplies.

As a condition, Concubine Yan asked Li Yongxuan to reveal his true face.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Concubine Yan performed her feminine charm on Li Yongxuan.

She originally thought that Li Yongxuan would definitely be at the mercy of her, but she didn't expect that he would have no influence at all.

Seeing Concubine Yan's charming eyes, Li Yongxuan couldn't control himself.

Li Yongxuan showed his true face in front of Concubine Yan, and quickly left and returned to the post house.

He was not afraid that Concubine Yan would go back on her word and complain to Emperor Song to cause trouble for him. In the worst case, she would completely break up with her.

Seeing Li Yongxuan's true face, Concubine Yan showed a surprised look.

At this moment, Concubine Yan knew that the rumored young hero Li Yongxuan lived up to his reputation. He was indeed handsome and extraordinary, with unparalleled martial arts skills.

Two days later, Emperor Song issued an edict.

Li Yongxuan was granted the title of Jiedushi, controlling the soldiers and horses in Jincheng and Lizhou. He recently led his soldiers and horses in the Northern Expedition. He ordered Yu Jie, the envoy of Sichuan and Chongqing, and the Mongolian Communist Party to appease the Jinghu system to send troops to cooperate with Li Yongxuan's northern expedition.

It was said that they were cooperating with Li Yongxuan's Northern Expedition, but in fact it was the Song Emperor who sent Yu Jie and Meng Gong to monitor Li Yongxuan and sent them a secret order.

In addition, Emperor Song also sent a father-in-law to Li Yongxuan to supervise the army.

Anyway, he was promoted again.

Li Yongxuan was very happy, and even more happy was that he received a backpack as a gift from the system.

With this multi-functional backpack, it is much easier for him to transport food, grass and equipment to the front line. He no longer has to dress up and carry it to a secret space again and again.

A few days later, Li Yongxuan arrived in Xiangyang by boat, and the comfort envoy Lu Wende and Guo Jing, Zhou Botong, Zhu Ziliu, Yeluqi, Yeluyan and others went to greet him.

Huang Rong had to take care of two babies and couldn't get away.

Guo Fu didn't want to see Li Yongxuan, so she didn't go.

Everyone had already received the news that General Li Yongxuan would lead his army to the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and they were all gearing up and eager to try.

Many people with lofty ideals and benevolence in the Song Dynasty also responded one after another, waiting for this day to make contributions to the country and nation.

For more than ten years, they have not had this opportunity, and they finally waited for this day.

At the reception banquet, Li Yongxuan told everyone about the martial arts methods Yan Guifei practiced and asked everyone which sect she belonged to.

Everyone was confused and confused after hearing this.

They have never heard of this kind of martial arts, let alone seen it.

Only Huang Rong was knowledgeable and thoughtful.

She said that she once heard her father Huang Yaoshi, who likes to travel around the world, talk about this kind of martial arts. It seems to be a secret sect called Su Nu Palace. The martial arts are very special and are good at confusing people's minds. It is said that the disciples in the sect are all young girls. Once they lose their virginity,

, you will lose most of your power...

Li Yongxuan suddenly heard this and was confused.

Could it be that Concubine Yan was still a virgin? No wonder she was so scared when she was told to rectify the law on the spot. It turned out to be because she was afraid of losing her power!

Thinking of this, Li Yongxuan immediately changed the topic and asked everyone to focus on the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.

He inadvertently revealed the news to everyone that he was preparing to divide his troops into three groups to march north to the Central Plains.
