Liu Ruoshui stroked the map on the wall, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Because most of the 22 counties in Jingzhou have been occupied by him, except for Jiujiang, Yiyang and other places occupied by Du Fuwei, most of Jingzhou has been owned by him.
In addition to Jingzhou, he also occupied part of the land of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, and really became the power of the separatist side, he roughly occupied all the territory of Zhu Wei and Xiao Miao, as well as part of the territory of Li Zitong, Du Fuwei and Lin Shihong, and became the first prince in the south.
In the entire south, the only one who can really compete with Liu Ruoshui is probably only Song Que in Lingnan. However, because of the topography, Lingnan can only be in a corner at most, although it is difficult for outsiders to invade Lingnan, but it is also difficult for Lingnan to compete for the world. If it weren't for Song Quezheng's full support for Li Mi at this time, Liu Ruoshui could even join forces with Song Que and truly become the lord of the south.
The reason why the form has changed so much is that Liu Ruoshui's timing is too good, when he defeated Zhu Wei, he had already arranged a shadow, and secretly controlled the Baling Gang, and when he sent troops, he directly took over all the territory that Zhu Wei and Xiao Mo should have controlled, and secondly, because Li Jing's ability to command the army was too good, and he defeated Du Fuwei several times, not only forcing Du Fuwei not to dare to get involved in Jingling again, but even seized part of the land controlled by Du Fuwei. Third, because of Liu Ruoshui's great potential, the Demon Gate had to give up Lin Shihong, who was originally able to divide one side, and there was no helper of the Demon Gate. Lin Shihong naturally couldn't take advantage of the situation, but let Liu Ruoshui seize most of the territory he should have occupied.
Of course. Because Liu Ruoshui has captured too much territory, he does have some indigestion at this time. If it weren't for Liu Ruoshui, he would know the names of those famous ministers in the future. And after several invitations, I am afraid that he will already be overstretched in terms of government affairs.
However, since Liu Ruoshui has a false line, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Xiao Yu, Yu Shinan and other famous ministers are assisted, they can still control the current form. What's more, with several lifetimes of experience. His ability to handle government affairs is also enough to compare with those ancient emperors, and he naturally governs the territory under his command in an orderly manner.
Of course, things are not satisfactory, although his power continues to flourish, but his own strength has reached a bottleneck.
In the past few days, although Liu Ruoshui has fought in the south and the north, and has collected a lot of martial arts secrets from all over the country, his entry into the martial arts is very small, and he has not grown much.
But that's normal. After cultivating the "Recipe for Longevity", Liu Ruoshui's internal cultivation has naturally improved by leaps and bounds, but his current cultivation is not far from his realm at the peak of the Xiaoao world, and his progress is naturally slow.
Not to mention. These days, although Liu Ruoshui has been fighting endlessly, he has never fought with a real master. Naturally, we cannot break through the current shackles in the form of war and warfare.
"Could it be that I was wrong?" Liu Ruoshui sighed in his heart.
Originally. Liu Ruoshui is fighting for the world for martial arts. But during this period of time, the battle for world dominance has not helped his martial arts. Rather, it's a shackle.
However, Liu Ruoshui just sighed, and he didn't really regret it, because he knew in his heart that although he hadn't increased much in his internal strength, his spiritual cultivation had taken a big step forward.
Self-cultivation, governing the family, and leveling the world.
For Confucian scholars, "leveling the world" is the biggest wish in life, just like Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen and other smart people, even if they know what the future will be, they can't help the temptation of calming the world.
The reason why Liu Ruoshui regretted it was because he found that compared to pacifying the world with his own hands, he worked hard to be an emperor's teacher and assisted an emperor to pacify the world, which was actually more beneficial to him.
After all, for Confucian students, the highest achievement is not to become an emperor, but to become a teacher of the emperor.
Otherwise, his attainments in the "Gewu Heart Sutra" may have been able to reach a higher level.
But now, because he is taking the "path of the emperor", his internal strength method "Gewu Heart Sutra" has some deviations and is biased in an unknowable direction.
Originally, according to Liu Ruoshui's calculations, the realm of the "Gewu Heart Sutra" was divided into four levels, the first was "Gewu Zhizhi", the second was "sincerity and sincerity", the third was "self-cultivation and Qijia", and the fourth was "cherishing the world".
Originally, his spiritual realm was at the peak of "sincerity and sincerity", and he was only one step away from "self-cultivation and Qijia", but now, although his spiritual realm has improved a lot, it is farther away from the realm of "self-cultivation and Qijia", and his path is no longer the path of Confucianism, but in the direction of the emperor.
If Liu Ruoshui's expectations are correct, the next moment of the realm of the "Gewu Heart Sutra" may no longer be the "Self-cultivation Qi Family", but the so-called "Sword of the Princes"
The sword of the princes is to know the warrior as the edge, the honest and honest as the spine, the virtuous and virtuous as the spine, the loyal saint as the sage, and the heroic warrior as the clip. This sword, straight and forward, there is no top, there is no case, there is no side, the upper law round the sky to shun the three lights, the lower law to shun the four times, and neutralize the public opinion to the four townships. This sword is used, like a thunderous shock, within four seals, all of them obey the king's orders. This sword of the princes also.
As for the last realm of the "Gewu Heart Sutra", I am afraid it will not be "the heart of the world", but the "sword of the Son of Heaven".
The sword of the Son of Heaven is based on Yanxi Stone City as the edge, Qi Dai as the spine, Jin and Wei as the spine, Zhou and Song as the fang, and Han Wei as the clamp; it is wrapped in four yi, wrapped in four times, surrounded by the Bohai Sea, and brought by Changshan; it is made of five elements, and it is based on criminal virtue; it is opened by yin and yang, and it is held in spring and autumn, and it is in autumn and winter. This sword is straight and unstoppable, supreme, case-in-the-bottom, unlucky, up to the clouds, and down to the Jedi. This sword is used, and the princes of Kuang are obeyed by the world. This sword of the Son of Heaven also.
Of course, for Liu Ruoshui, although this transformation is temporarily troublesome, making Liu Ruoshui almost overthrow half of his previous theoretical system, but on the other hand, it can help Liu Ruoshui completely solve his hidden dangers.
After all, there is indeed a person in this world who can integrate the systems of "Confucianism", "Taoism", "Medicine", and even "Buddhism" and "Zonghengjia".
And this person is the emperor.
After all, no matter what kind of doctrine it is, it is actually for the sake of the emperor. (To be continued.) )
