The soldiers all said that Li Yongxuan was a god descended from heaven, with unparalleled martial arts skills and knowledge of magic. It was not surprising that he appeared in two places at the same time.

He has high martial arts skills and can be said to have extraordinary talents. He can conjure countless grains, grass, artillery and guns out of thin air. This is not a god. What is a god?

In fact, the soldiers who came out from Sichuan and Chongqing with Li Yongxuan for the Northern Expedition were already accustomed to this kind of thing.

When they were marching and fighting, they never had to carry food, grass, equipment and supplies. They would naturally have them when they got to the place.

Not only does it make them more relaxed, but it also makes them more confident. With such a powerful person leading them, why are they afraid of not being able to win?

Along the way, from Jincheng to Lizhou and then to Henan, there was not a single battle lost. The soldiers' support and admiration for Li Yongxuan could not be greater.

Along with this, the soldiers who joined Li Yongxuan's army were also influenced by them and treated Li Yongxuan as a god: awe, worship, trust, and reliance...

The news that Li Yongxuan knew magic and was a god spread out. Although it had a uniting and encouraging effect on his soldiers, it also had a deterrent effect on the Mongolian army, but it was not good news for the Song Emperor and those corrupt officials.

A large amount of gold and silver treasures disappeared from Lin'an Mansion twice. From beginning to end, no suspicious target was found.

Suddenly, news spread that Li Yongxuan knew magic and was a god. Coupled with his miraculous rise, it was impossible for corrupt officials not to doubt him.

How can ordinary people steal gold and silver through such weird means without anyone noticing?

Before Li Yongxuan was twenty years old, his martial arts skills were invincible. In one or two years, his military strength reached 200,000.

If he didn't steal those gold and silver treasures, where would he have the money to develop his power? Produce so many artillery and muskets?

The corrupt officials in the Song Dynasty were furious and demanded that the Song Emperor severely punish Li Yongxuan and compensate for the losses.

The problem is, if we can’t find someone, how can we punish him severely?

If Li Yongxuan did not accept the order, could it be said that troops would be sent to arrest him? How many people would the court send to arrest him?

Li Yongxuan has more than 100,000 troops, how to capture him?

When the time comes, he will defect to the Mongolian army and lead his army south. Who can stop him?

Emperor Song still saw this very clearly.

Originally, the Mongolian army could not capture the cities in Henan. Ever since it was rumored that Li Yongxuan knew magic and was an immortal, it was even less possible.

In desperation, Kublai Khan had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat to Luoyang and the north of the Yellow River, forming a confrontation with Li Yongxuan, hoping to sow discord between Li Yongxuan and the Song court and reap the benefits.

At this time, the Mongolian Empire was still ruled by Queen Naimazhen, who wanted to support her son Guyu to inherit the throne.

It's a pity that Guiyu was not the successor designated by Ogedai Khan.

Wokuotai was more optimistic about his beloved grandson Shiliemen, but he died before he could establish a heir.

According to Genghis Khan's regulations during his lifetime, the successor of the Great Khan must be elected and decided by a conference attended by kings and nobles. Batu, the commander of the Western Expedition, was at odds with Guyu. He first excused his illness and refused to attend the meeting, and then openly refused to attend the meeting, which made the Mongol Empire long-term Khan.

Can't be sure.

Due to internal discord in Mongolia, Ogedai has been dead for four years. To this day, the Mongolian Khan's throne has not been determined.

With the harvests in various places in Henan, the surrounding Song people living in the shadow of the Mongolian army were envious.

Since Fan Yongji of Henan surrendered to Li Yongxuan, the Mongols had strengthened their supervision of the Song officials under their rule.

In particular, the various state capitals surrounding Henan are the focus of Mongolian supervision.

These days, people in various state capitals are constantly sending letters to Li Yongxuan, wanting to surrender.

Even if the commander refused to surrender, he could not stop his soldiers from wanting to surrender.

If you insist on refusing to surrender, you are likely to be killed by your subordinates as a greeting gift, and you will be rewarded for your meritorious service.

Although Kublai Khan sent people to conduct strict supervision, it was still impossible to prevent it.

He decided to take the initiative.

He sent officials to pretend to secretly surrender to Li Yongxuan in an attempt to lure Li Yongxuan into being deceived.

Li Yongxuan received many surrender messages one after another, and it was difficult to tell whether they were true or false.

He didn't want to miss a good opportunity, so he used the soul-moving technique on the people who came to deliver the message.

No problem, we can make contact and understand, and send Xuanmen disciples and spies over to investigate the situation.

If there is a problem, Li Yongxuan will stand still and wait for the opportunity before making plans.

Unexpectedly, some officials in Luoyang wanted to surrender.

If Luoyang is successfully captured, Li Yongxuan can lead his army to occupy Guanzhong, advance and attack, retreat and defend, and quickly develop and strengthen his strength.

Faced with the huge temptation before him, Li Yongxuan did not lose his mind.

He knew that the main force of the Mongolian army was concentrated north of the Yellow River and in some important cities, so he decided to use Huazhou as a breakthrough point to march north.

A few days later, Li Yongxuan led 50,000 troops to successfully recapture Huazhou, occupy Baima, and approach Junzhou.

The Liyang defenders got the news and killed the officials sent by Mongolia to surrender to Li Yongxuan.

The Kaizhou defender who was approaching Huazhou hesitated again and again, and finally led his army to surrender to Li Yongxuan.

In a few days, Li Yongxuan led his army to march across three states.

Kublai Khan and Wu Liang joined forces. Chahan and Zhang Rou were shocked when they received the information.

They thought that Li Yongxuan would definitely attack Luoyang or other important cities, but they did not expect that he would lead his army north to attack Huazhou.

Unable to attack and defend, Kublai Khan and others were in a dilemma.

The Mongolian army was good at attacking but not good at defending the city. They could only rely on the Song people who surrendered to them to defend the city.

But they killed too many people, and they didn't dare to trust the Song people too much.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yongxuan sent Li Tingzhi with 20,000 troops to the east to capture Puzhou, and he personally led 30,000 troops to the west to capture Weizhou and Xiangzhou.

Weizhou, Zhengzhou, and Bianliang face each other across the Yellow River. The soldiers and people here see the prosperity of the various prefectures in Henan, and each of them has already been ready to make a move.

They wanted to surrender to Li Yongxuan, but the Mongols stared too hard, so they never dared to act rashly.

Now that Li Yongxuan has led his army north to Junzhou and has a solid backing, how can the soldiers and people of Weizhou fear suppression by the Mongolian army?

Kublai Khan, Wu Liang joined forces, Chahan and Zhang Rou wanted to lead their troops to a decisive battle with Li Yongxuan, but unfortunately they never found the opportunity.

They did not dare to divide their troops hastily to avoid being defeated by Li Yongxuan's internal and external cooperation. They could only concentrate their forces in Damingfu, Dongpingfu, Cizhou, Luzhou, Zezhou and Huaizhou to prevent Li Yongxuan from leading his army to the north, east and west.

Before every action, Li Yongxuan would find out the situation clearly, try to avoid the main force of the Mongolian army, and play a cat and mouse game with them.

He was still not sure of a head-to-head confrontation with the Mongolian cavalry. Even though he had a large number of artillery and muskets, he was not willing to risk a battle easily.

Li Yongxuan saw that it was difficult to achieve any breakthrough, so he led his troops to garrison Ji County in Zhouzhou, ready to march westward to the southeast of Henan Road to threaten Luoyang.

Secretly, he teleported to Jincheng and sent 10,000 horses out of Sichuan to Lizhou, and then transferred 10,000 horses from Lizhou to prepare for a surprise attack on Chang'an.

Since Li Yongxuan arrived in Jincheng, he has placed chess pieces in Bianliang, Luoyang, and Chang'an so that they can be used when needed.

At present, the main force of the Mongolian army is north of the Yellow River, Luoyang and other places. Relatively speaking, Chang'an's defensive force is very empty.

On the one hand, Li Yongxuan's main troops are all in the Henan area. Unless they capture the Henan Road or Luoyang first, they will not threaten Chang'an's security. On the other hand, the Song army in Sichuan and Chongqing is limited in strength and has more than enough defense but not enough aggressiveness.

When the troops were deployed in place, Li Yongxuan personally led 20,000 elite troops into Ziwu Valley. He prepared to imitate Wei Yan of the Three Kingdoms and stage a surprise attack on Chang'an.

When they were approaching the exit of Ziwu Valley, Li Yongxuan sent the army into hiding. He teleported to the ancient tomb and entered Chang'an with Xiao Longnu at night.

This strategy seems dangerous, but it is not.

Li Yongxuan has a secret space, a backpack, and the ability to teleport. There is no need to worry about supplies. What's more important is that what he has to face is not the stable Wei State, but the unpopular Mongolian army.

Chang'an is located to the north of Zhongnan Mountain and was the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties of China. It is not far from the ancient tomb to Chang'an. Li Yongxuan and Xiao Longnu have been there twice.

Li Yongxuan was appointed as the magistrate of Jincheng and regained Lizhou. He arranged to be in Luoyang in advance, and the manpower in Chang'an wanted to start an uprising as soon as possible to restore the Central Plains.

Unexpectedly, Li Yongxuan led his troops to Henan. It was two years later that he thought of a surprise attack on Chang'an.

Not long after, Li Yongxuan and Xiao Longnu sneaked into Chang'an City, killed all the important officials who were unwilling to cooperate, and let the lurkers control the south gate of Chang'an.

After settling matters in Chang'an City, Li Yongxuan and Xiao Longnu went to pick up the 20,000 elite troops hidden in Ziwu Valley.

The two men killed the Mongolian guard, opened the door, and marched into Chang'an with the 20,000 men who had been waiting for a long time.

Before dawn, Li Yongxuan led his army to pacify Chang'an City, which was in chaos.

They originally thought that they could capture Tongguan before the Mongolian army could react. To their surprise, the Mongolian defenders had received news of the unrest in Chang'an and had already taken precautions.

Li Yongxuan was not discouraged. As soon as it got light, he sent people to surrender the cities near Chang'an.

He believed that there should be many people willing to surrender. Instead of being lackeys for the brutal and unofficial Mongolian army, it was better to be an upright human being.

As the news that Li Yongxuan led his army to seize Chang'an spread, surrounding cities surrendered one after another. Zhang Rou, who was guarding Luoyang, was confused again and quickly reported the news to Chahan, Wu Liang and Kublai Khan.

These days, Li Yongxuan's deeds have long been known to everyone. I heard that he distributed fields to soldiers and people in Henan without paying taxes. Even the hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops could not do anything to him.

The soldiers and people in the prefectures around Honan dreamed that Li Yongxuan would lead his army to attack, so that they would not have to be bullied by the Mongolian army and could be allocated land to live and work in peace and contentment.

After learning that Li Yongxuan led his army to successfully capture Chang'an, the surrounding cities asked for surrender.

Even Chang'an couldn't resist it, let alone the surrounding cities? Not many people were willing to fight for the Mongolian army.

In less than two days, most of the state capitals in Jingzhao Prefecture surrendered to Li Yongxuan, and only a small number of state capitals and cities have not yet surrendered.

Kublai Khan couldn't believe it when he learned that Li Yongxuan led an army of 20,000 troops to surprise Chang'an through Ziwu Valley and regained most of the state capitals of Jingzhao Prefecture. Chahan and Wu Liang joined forces.

If Li Yongxuan was not stationed in Weizhou with his army, how could he suddenly go to Lizhou? He also led his army to capture Jingzhao Chang'an?
