Chapter 278: The Legendary Emperor (2)
The offensive and defensive battle of Jiankang City is the biggest crisis in Liu Yu's life, when the Heavenly Master Dao came with the aftermath of two great victories, more than 200,000 soldiers, thousands of warships, all over the river, and the defenders in Jiankang City were less than 20,000, and the army of the expedition to Nanyan could not rush back for a while, in this case, the people in the city were panicked, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces strongly persuaded Liu Yu to take the emperor to withdraw to Jiangbei to avoid the edge.
As a result, Liu Yu resolutely stayed, not retreating, on the one hand, he spent a lot of money to recruit civilian warriors to urgently join the army, on the other hand, he withdrew the defense of fortresses along the river, and went all out to defend Jiankang City, and he must take the lead in every battle. For more than two months, they repelled dozens of sieges by the Heavenly Master Dao army, and finally supported until reinforcements from all over the country arrived, forcing the Heavenly Master Dao troops to withdraw.
In the following year, Liu Yu personally led the army to pursue the Heavenly Master Dao troops all the way, and also sent a partial division to drift into the sea, go to sea from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and attack Guangzhou, and finally after hard fighting, finally pacified all the Heavenly Master Dao.
After that, Liu Yu, after successively eliminating his old comrades-in-arms, the great warlord Liu Yi and the clan of the Sima clan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, really monopolized the power in the south of the Yangtze River, and personally took command of the expedition, and comprehensively went north to conquer the Hu people and the Later Qin Empire in the capital Guanzhong, hundreds of thousands of troops, and finally conquered Chang'an, swept away the Later Qin, and completed the feat of the Han people in the south of the Yangtze River for more than 100 years since the Five Hu Rebellion.
It's a pity that the will of heaven has never been easy to know, just when Liu Yu was fierce and ready to continue to march into the army, pacifying Hu Xia in Longxi or the Northern Wei Dynasty in Hebei, he stayed in Jiankang's important ministers, for him can be called Liu Bang's Xiao He, Liu Bei's Kong Ming's military advisor Liu Muzhi, died of illness in Jiankang, because Liu Yu was born in the grassroots, and was not accepted by the Gaomen family, Liu Muzhi, a major minister sitting in the rear, died, and the entire rear began to be unstable.
Liu Yu had to hurriedly lead the army back to Jiankang to stabilize the dìng. Due to the internal discord among the generals left behind in Guanzhong, the director was attacked by Hu Xia within a few months, and the director was lost in Guanzhong, and when Liu Yu returned to the south to restabilize the situation, he had lost his fighter plane, and there was no possibility of recovering the pass, so he could only climb high and weep and talk about the sorrow of the strong man.
Liu Yu's Northern Expedition failed this time, and he turned back to the royal family of the Sima clan. simply abolished the puppet emperor of the Sima clan, established himself as the emperor, and established the Liu Song Dynasty, with the Tuoba clan's Northern Wei Dynasty finally unifying the north, the confrontation between the north and the south was formed again. It opened the prelude to the two hundred years of the coexistence of the northern and southern dynasties.
When Li Cangxing saw this, he admired this Liu Yu so much that he threw himself to the ground. He learned martial arts from an early age. I haven't read the Four Books and Five Classics, and most of my understanding of history comes from commenting on books, when I was a child, when I listened to Uncle Hongyun talk about Yue Fei's Northern Expedition, I was fascinated, and I couldn't wait to fly back to that time and slap Qin Hui to death, and today I finally know. More than 800 years before Yue Fei, there were such great heroes of the Northern Expedition in the history of the Han people.
Just as Li Cangxing was looking at the inscription, Liu Sheng Xiongba kept staring at the knife and was silent, waiting until Li Cangxing turned to him after reading the inscription. Only then did he find that the front of this Oriental man was sinking like water, looking at the faint text on the knife.
Li Cangxing saw the end of the inscription, engraved with a paragraph: You have come here, the martial arts should be first-class, this knife is called the dragon, it is an ancient artifact, I have a coincidence, this knife is all over the world, I can't bear to bury it, I am willing to give it to those who are destined.
Li Cangxing smiled slightly, stepped forward, called Liu Sheng Xiongba over, pointed to the last paragraph of the inscription to show him, although Liu Sheng Xiongba's Japanese language and Chinese pronunciation are different, but the words can be recognized, read for a long time, nodded, took out a knife and pointed to the last sentence "May it be given to those who are destined", and then pointed to Li Cangxing, and then pointed to himself, shaking his head.
Li Cangxing didn't understand the meaning for a while, his face was dazed, and Liu Sheng Xiongba wrote crookedly on the ground: Knife, your Central Plains warriors, I, Fusang warriors, don't want it.
Li Cangxing was happy all of a sudden, that is, his own brothers, fathers and sons, when he saw treasures or martial arts cheats, there were not a few people who turned against each other and killed each other, but this Oriental who was still fighting hard with himself just now was unmoved in the face of the treasure knife, which really surprised him.
He shook his head, and wrote with a purple electric sword on the ground: The one who sees it has a share, the owner of the knife used to be the emperor, he said, those who are destined to get it, since you have come in, it is fate, you can also try it.
Yanagi Xiongba waved his hand and continued to write: Central Plains martial arts, Fusang martial arts, it's different, this knife, mine, wanted, useless. I came to the Central Plains, for martial arts, for communication, for other people's things, don't want it.
Li Cangxing nodded, he knew that this Fusang man was also quite stubborn, so he walked to the big knife, this knife is five feet long, the back of the knife is ten centimeters wide, it is a big knife that needs to be held with both hands, cold and cold, the handle of the knife is made of cold jade, carved into the shape of a dragon's head, and there is a blood groove on the body of the knife, there is a trace of dark red blood stains in it, I don't know how many people have been killed, a blood stain is left, under the light of this room, there is a trace of strange turquoise light.
On the body of the knife, with the flickering of light, some strange words loomed, Li Cangxing looked at it carefully for a long time, but when the knife light was extremely bright, it would flash for a moment, but it was definitely not a Chinese character.
Li Cangxing glanced at Liu Shengxiongba, who was standing behind him, silent, took a step forward, held the hilt of the knife with one hand, and an unprecedented extreme cold rushed straight to his meridians from the hilt, Li Cangxing instantly felt that his heart seemed to be frozen, and he had never felt this way even when he was soaking in the cave spring in Emei before, he hurriedly let go of his hand and took two steps back, only then did he feel that the heart-penetrating chill was slightly relieved.
Liu Sheng Xiongba's eyes looking at Li Cangxing also showed a slight surprise, as if he didn't expect this knife to have such an effect, Li Cangxing looked down at his right hand, and found that there was a faint layer of frost on his palm, just this grip, the whole person was almost frozen.
Li Cangxing carried the Ice Heart Technique, and his mind immediately entered an ethereal state, his face was cloudy and yang, and after a few changes of color, he finally returned to normal, and the strong discomfort in his body was also better, he turned his head to look at Liu Sheng Xiongba, and wrote on the ground: This knife is strange, extremely cold!
Liu Sheng Xiongba nodded, the whole person's body suddenly rose a burst of white gas, and his face became blood red, Li Cangxing was four or five steps apart, he could feel the heat rushing to his face, and couldn't help but take a step back, only to see Liu Sheng Xiongba's eyes suddenly opened, his eyes suddenly became empty and full of death, he stretched out his hands, and held the handle of the knife at the same time.
The blade suddenly became shiny, the streamer was great, and the strange words on the body were also revealed, the whole knife was shaking slightly, making a huge dragon groan, which shocked Li Cangxing's eardrums numb, and the qi and blood in his chest began to churn, and the cold began to overflow from the blade, and even the air seemed to be frozen, he hurriedly collected his mind, hugged Yuan Shouyi, and fought against the bone-chilling cold that he had begun to feel.
The situation of Yanagi Xiongba on the side was even worse, he was still red with heat just now, even his eyebrows and beard began to freeze at this moment, and a thick layer of frost had formed on his hands, and Sensen's ice qi was entering from his palm, spreading towards the eight veins of the strange meridians all over his body.
In the blink of an eye, Yanagi almost became a snowman, not only his eyebrows and mustache, but even his clothes began to freeze, he was still in the heat just now, and now there is no temperature at all, and even his heartbeat seems to have stopped.
Li Cangxing's face changed greatly, I don't know when it started, he suddenly felt that this Oriental man was a trustworthy friend, just now he took the initiative to ask him to try to take the knife he refused, and only after he tried it did he try it on a whim, obviously not with the idea of possession, but with the heart of victory, besides, in this tomb, if you want to go out, you must work together, you must not just watch Yanagi become an iceman.
Li Cangxing gritted his teeth, the ninth layer of the Ice Heart Technique was instantly raised, and a cold air began to circulate in the limbs, judging from the situation of Liu Sheng Xiongba just now, the pure Yang internal force could not control this strange knife for a while, Li Cangxing thought to himself that his current Heart Burning Technique would not be stronger than Liu Sheng Xiongba just now, and if he wanted to save people, he could only try this Yin and Soft Ice Heart Technique.
