Dali is a different story.

If it weren't for the fact that Duan Xing had fully advocated foreign policy over the years, he had transported war horses from the north every year, and bought slave soldiers from the Western Regions, with the pervasive meticulous work and killers of Yanyulou, coupled with the poppies that the Wang family had been providing to continue to corrode the high-level leaders of various countries, Dali would have absolutely no achievements today.

Even so, in the continuous conquest of the past few years, Dali has also shown that it has a little lack of stamina, and it needs to digest the results of these years.

Today's Zhendong Mansion covers a large area of land in the former Cochin, Bagan, Champa and Zhenla, and in terms of area, it is comparable to the border of the original Dali State. The problem of insufficient manpower has come to the fore. As for the source of soldiers, they were all snatched and forcibly requisitioned.

Under Duan Xing's instructions, Dali constantly relied on wars with other countries to transfer the dissatisfaction and hatred of the recruits to the new country, but this was on the premise of fighting a good war.

Once it is confronted with Tianzhu State, Dali is currently not sure to win the other party, at this time, the shortcomings of Dali's lack of background will be completely exposed, plus the Liao State has begun to use troops against the Song State, Tubo is also ready to move, the Central Plains, the situation is about to erupt.

At this juncture, Duan Xing decisively sent someone to inform Banonka that he would use new soldiers to go to the battlefield in the Southern Wasteland Boundary, firstly, to continue to divert their contradictions, and secondly, to hone them into veterans, and at the appropriate time, the new frontier line could be shrunk back.

At the same time, a part of the army was left to consolidate the rule of Zhendongfu, and most of the other troops drove back to Dali. Prepare to face the turbulent situation in the Central Plains next, after all, for Dali, the next war in the Central Plains can even more crisis its own roots.

If Song Guo wins, it's okay to say as usual.

If the Liao State wins, Dali will have to face the Liao State like a tiger and a wolf, and the precautions must be done in advance.

In fact, judging from Dali's current national strength. If the further expansion of the Southern Wilderness is completely abandoned, all the troops will be used to consolidate the existing territory, and do a good job of uniting the Great Song Dynasty to resist the invasion of the Great Liao. Totally more than enough.

But Duan Xing was not satisfied with this. Today's Dali is like a tiger that chooses people and devours people, this tiger has taken its claws back from the Southern Wilderness, and has been gearing up to win the greatest interests between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao.

......

Dali Kingdom, Imperial Palace.

"Father. Do you really want to abdicate?" Duan Xing looked at Emperor Baoding in front of him in surprise. I don't understand why Emperor Baoding suddenly proposed to abdicate. Today's Dali country is strong and strong, and its territory has more than doubled compared with the original. There is no fierce enemy outside, and there is peace inside.

And after Emperor Baoding transferred the exercises given by Duan Xing, he has now reached the threshold of the innate realm, and it is only a matter of time before he breaks through the acquired world. Once Emperor Baoding breaks through to the innate realm, the lifespan will be greatly increased, and it is not a problem to live for at least another 100 years.

Under such a good situation, Duan Xing really didn't understand why Emperor Baoding, as the king of a country who enjoyed endless rights and glory, suddenly wanted to let go of this qiē, which was obviously unreasonable.

Emperor Baoding looked at Duan Xingdao lovingly: "Xing'er, since my father has cultivated the 'Northern Spiritual Skill', his skills have improved rapidly, and he has reached the realm of acquired perfection in less than a year, but now that more than half a year has passed, the realm still has not broken through, and every time he cultivates, his father always feels that something is missing." ”

Duan Xing was puzzled, secretly thinking that there should be no problem with this 'Northern Spiritual Skill', if it weren't for the fact that he had transferred to the "Nine Heavens and Nine Earths Supreme Dafa", his internal strength would definitely be based on the "Northern Spiritual Skill" now. But when I was cultivating before, I had never encountered any realm threshold, and I really couldn't understand Emperor Baoding's painful feeling that he could clearly see and touch, but he couldn't get over.

Thinking back to the feeling he felt when he broke through, Duan Xing said tentatively: "Father, is it because you have absorbed too much of other people's skills and have not condensed and refined, so you can't be promoted to innate?"

Emperor Baoding shook his head and said: "My father has practiced martial arts for decades, how can I not know such a superficial truth, as early as when I cultivated, I had refined the internal strength of my whole body, but I still couldn't break through." ”

Duan Xing was even more curious, and couldn't help but recall the countless martial arts cheats he had read, wanting to find out the answer to his question.

Martial arts cultivation is divided into acquired and congenital.

There are three reasons for restricting the promotion of the acquired innate realm. First, there is no peerless martial arts, and martial arts cultivation will not reach home for a lifetime. The second is that there is no support from the genius earth treasure, and when he is promoted to the innate realm, he lacks a lot of energy support, and his success falls short. The third is the lack of understanding, even if the skill is enough, but always stay in front of that threshold, and cannot advance an inch.

And the most important of these three points is understanding.

A person with extremely high comprehension, even if he is not cultivating a peerless exercise, but an ordinary first-class exercise, he can rely on his ultimate talent to break his own defects and promote to innateness.

The second is the importance of the exercises. Most of the martial arts cheats either lack follow-up content, or there are many problems in themselves, which cannot make people smoothly promoted to the innate realm, and only those peerless exercises can make frank and unrestrained cultivation, only if there is no big problem, you can be promoted to innate normally.

And the role of genius treasure is on these two foundations.

Some genius earth treasures can burst out with endless energy in their bodies, helping some people who have cultivated to the realm, but lack the foundation, to break through the acupuncture points that they usually can't break through, and realize the cycle of Zhou Tian. Or maybe after some genius earth treasures are eaten, they can greatly increase the comprehension of cultivators and help them advance smoothly.

But this kind of genius treasure is generally unavoidable, but this problem does not exist in Emperor Baoding.

Since the Dali army fought in the Southern Wilderness, many genius treasures that had never been discovered and excavated were dug up by them.

Nowadays, in Zhendong Province, there is a large area dedicated to the cultivation of these things.

The masters of Duan Xing Yanyulou, not counting Huang Shang, Wukong, Liewang and others, now there are already 6 gold medal killers who have been promoted to the innate realm, if you count Xiao Yuanshan, who has seen the beginning and the end of the dragon, is counted. Duan Xing's Yanyu Mansion alone was a master of the innate realm, and there were already more than ten people.

Even the Thirteen Eagles of Blood Rain, which Duan Xing valued and cultivated the most, now have the skills of first-class masters, once a killing array is formed, a few innate masters will only be surrounded and killed.

This is also the main reason why Duan Xing didn't understand why Emperor Baoding couldn't be promoted to the innate realm.

Peerless exercises, Emperor Baoding has.

Genius treasure, Emperor Baoding has.

Being able to touch the threshold shows that Emperor Baoding has enough understanding, if he doesn't have enough understanding, he also uses genius to pile up the treasure, why can't Emperor Baoding break through?

Emperor Baoding saw that Duan Xing was silent and didn't say anything, so he sighed and said, "Xing'er, my father has been thinking about it for more than half a month, and finally figured out the reason. ”

Duan Xing looked at Emperor Baoding suspiciously.

Emperor Baoding said helplessly: "My father has been devoted to Buddha since he was a child, and his murderous heart is insufficient. Speaking of which, my father's personality was not suitable for this throne, but my Duan family is now scarce, and the other side branches are all Adou who can't be supported, so my father inherited the throne. ”

"If it weren't for my father's weak character, I wouldn't have let Gao Shengtai hurt you in the first place, and I would have punished him from the beginning. As he spoke, Emperor Baoding sighed again.

Seeing that Duan Xing wanted to speak, Emperor Baoding raised his hand, stopped Duan Xing from speaking, and continued: "The character of my father's emperor My father knows that over the years, Dali has been the emperor in name, but many decrees were issued by my father and emperor in response to your opinions. Now, Dali has laid down such a large territory as the Southern Wilderness, which has never been seen in the history of Dali, and it stands to reason that the father should be happy. ”

"But every time I see the number of casualties of the soldiers, the common people are unclothed, and they are plagued by the war, my father and the emperor always can't go down in his heart, and his heart seems to be a piece of wood, and his qi is not well cultivated. Come to think of it, this is also the reason why the father can't break through the last barrier. ”

Duan Xing was silent, no matter how high his ability was, he couldn't solve it.

I only heard Emperor Baoding continue: "Although my father also knows that Dali is becoming stronger and stronger day by day under your policy, my father just can't go down in his heart. Therefore, the father thought about it, only to abdicate one way, so that it was good to end up out of sight, not upset, every day to see that my Dali country is getting stronger and stronger, those headaches will be left to you. Perhaps, in this way, the father's state of mind can be broken through. ”

After speaking, Emperor Baoding looked at Duan Xing with blazing eyes, and said, "But there is one thing, you must promise your father." ”

Duan Xing replied: "Father, please speak." ”

Emperor Baoding said: "We must be kind to my Dali people, and don't delay the cultivation of martial arts because of the addiction of power, we must finally break the shackles of this heaven and earth, shatter the void, and seek new breakthroughs." ”

Duan Xing said firmly: "Definitely!"

......

Tibet, the royal palace.

"National teacher, what do you think of this letter?"

The king of Tubo handed a letter in his hand to Gu Mozhi, who was sitting on the side, and asked lightly.

At this time, the solemn appearance of Gu Mozhi, the faint true qi on his body flowed, and inadvertently, he could affect the spirit of others, as if the person in front of him was not a mortal, but a mortal god and Buddha in the nine heavens.

Gu Mozhi took the letterhead, and after reading it at a glance and ten lines, he replied: "Your Majesty, the person who sent the letter is in a high position in the Great Song Dynasty, he said yes, and he thinks that he is eighty or ninety percent sure, but this person actually abandons his country for his own selfishness, this kind of person should take more precautions, don't end up with a blade for nothing, but the benefits are all taken by the other party."

The king of Tubo nodded and said: "This king also means that, now that Da Liao has raised troops and taken Yanmen Pass overnight, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is already equal to a lamb to be slaughtered in the eyes of Da Liao, if we can't get a piece of the pie at this time, we really gave up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." As for the man who wrote the letter......" (to be continued......
