Lu Yuan said, "When General Gui and General Liu are out of the customs, I can go and check. During this time, you will practice well with me. Although we have pacified Xishu, the forces of the two thieves are pervasive, and we must always be vigilant!"

"Yes!" Liu Yuansi replied loudly.

So, Liu Yuansi trained hard under the guidance of Lu Yuan.

Lu Shan also attracted some alchemists after his fame. Under the guidance of Qing Qiuzi, they made rapid progress and refined many Breaking Xuandans that could be used by low-level cultivators.

In this case, half a month later, Liu Yuansi broke through the rank and rose to the third order!

Lu Yuan was very pleased: "Yuan Si, you are so talented, it is really a great blessing for our demon master!"

"Where, where, Master has won the prize. I was lucky enough to fall on your tree."

"! Don't be a sycophant!" Lu Yuan scolded with a smile.

Before they could leave the border, Lu Yuan commanded other generals to strengthen the city defenses, pacify refugees, recruit talents, train troops, raise more livestock, reclaim more farmland, and plant more crops......

Lushan, from a temporary shelter, gradually turned into a large-scale city.

The population plus the demon mouth has 1780,000.

There are also about 60,000 monks and monsters who can fight.

With such a strong soldier in hand, Lu Yuan has more confidence in his heart.

He knew very well that Changning above his head had now been occupied by Shi Xue'an, and if he wanted to sweep away Xishu, he was bound to take Lushan.

But now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, Emperor Yu Ming, who hid in Shu, is not as important to the two thieves as before, so Shi Xue'an's schedule to take Xishu may be slightly behind.

It is precisely because of this reason that Lu Shan can have time to prepare for war.

For Shi Xue'an, instead of harassing Lu Shan sporadically, it is better to completely wipe it out in one go.

Today's situation in the world is more delicate:

Ning Fuhai occupied Luoyang and established himself as emperor, and desperately resisted the onslaught of the two generals Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi. Now the second general has retreated to Lingwu and is ready to obey Emperor Su's dispatch at any time. In this way, Ning Fuhai can be regarded as consolidating the base area.

Shi Xue'an occupied Changning and eyed Shudi. Ning Fuhai promised him - after leveling the land of Shu, he would reward him with the entire land of Shu and give him the king of Shu. Therefore, for Shi Xue'an, it is to pave the way for the foundation of the second half of his life.

Lu Mountain, between Changning and Shudi, under the leadership of Lu Yuan and Guili and others, guarded a large area of territory in the southwest, and became a major disaster in the hearts of the two thieves.

Emperor Yu Ming, now taking refuge in Shu, was forcibly honored as the "Emperor Taishang". z.br>

Shudi, currently under the jurisdiction of Yan Wu. In the face of the fallen Emperor Taishang, Yan Wu still showed the heroic side - he kept his promise to Lu Yuan and did not embarrass Emperor Yuming.

Lingwu, now the temporary capital of the Great Yu Kingdom, was succeeded by Emperor Yu Ming's eldest son, Emperor Yu Su. In the face of the two thieves, the young and powerful new emperor has no fear and is always ready to eliminate them.

A month has passed since the retreat of Guili and others.

The two thieves continued to encroach on the land in the east and north of Dayu, and had not yet made a move against Lu Shan.

Lu Yuan naturally knew that this was the quiet before the storm.

But in any case, "quietness" does exist.

So five days later, Guili and Liu Qianqian went out on the same day!

Both of them have also been promoted to fifth-order one-star monks!

At the same time, Zhou Wanzhi also returned from Nanming.

Raj gathered the most famous local soldiers and created three sets of armor in a very short time.

This armor is called "Spirit Demon Armor", and it is very close to the body, extremely light, and its defense has been greatly strengthened - it can firmly withstand the full force of a fifth-order nine-star monk!
