Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Three months later, Song Shidao successfully conquered Jiangxia, approached Jingxiang, and began a formal confrontation with the Yuwen clan.

During this period, the Dugu clan and Wang Shichong fought fiercely for more than half a year, with countless casualties, but Luoyang City had not been captured for a long time.

The fighting between the two sides caused the people to be displaced and miserable, and Wagangzhai took the opportunity to gather refugees and further develop and grow. Seeing that the snipe and the clam were fighting, the fisherman benefited, and the situation of Wagangzhai was very good.

But at this time, the head of Wagangzhai, Zhai Rang, and the second head, Li Mi, had an internal conflict. It turned out that Li Mi's talent and reputation were originally higher than Zhai Rang, which made Zhai Rang always worried that he was in danger of usurping the throne.

In addition, Li Mi recently raised the banner of justice and gathered the victims who fled due to the war, and gained a large number of people and reputation, which made Zhai Rang even more uneasy, so he prepared to get rid of Li Mi, who was too powerful to be lord.

But in the end, Li Mi was more skilled and got rid of Zhai Rang, and took the throne of the leader of Wagangzhai.

However, this also led to the split of Wagangzhai. Many talents who originally belonged to Zhai Rang left Wagangzhai and defected to other places, weakening the strength of Wagang Army.

…

Two months later, Li Clan suddenly sent troops to attack Chang'an City occupied by Dugu Clan.

It turned out that Dugu Clan had been fighting with Wang Shichong to death in Luoyang City, and constantly sent troops to attack, resulting in a lack of troops and empty guards in their own nest Chang'an, and finally it was captured by Li Yuan's second son Li Shimin.

Dugu Clan was shocked when they received the news, and immediately retreated to reinforce, but they happened to fall into the "Besiege Wei to Save Zhao" strategy, and were ambushed by Li Clan's army halfway. Dugu Clan's army suffered countless casualties, and the clan leader Dugu Ce was captured alive, so he had no choice but to surrender.

Later, the Li clan incorporated the territory of the Dugu clan, recruited Li Mi, and led troops to march into Yanzhao to attack Dou Jiande's hinterland.

Dou Jiande had already conquered half of Qi and Lu, but because he was born in poverty and was not from a noble family, he was disliked by the gentry and encountered many obstacles. Therefore, when he was attacked from behind, he had to withdraw his troops first to protect his base.

…

At the same time, Yu Wenzhi also led his army to attack Jiangxia, seek the land of Jingxiang, and fought a war with Song Shidao. But then his imperial army was defeated by the well-equipped and advanced Song army.

Because although Yu Wenzhi's imperial army was also a strong army, its equipment was a generation behind that of the Song army. Moreover, most of the imperial army came from Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and were not accustomed to life in southern regions such as Jiangdu.

In particular, the Dugu clan in Chang'an, Wang Shichong in Luoyang, and the Li clan in Taiyuan fought one after another, causing them to worry about their own relatives, so they did not have too high morale to help Yu Wenzhi conquer the world.

Therefore, when fighting with the Song army, they did not collapse at the first blow, but they were also sluggish. In the end, they were defeated by Song Shidao and had to retreat to Jiangdu again.

As a result, the prestige of the Yuwen clan was greatly reduced, and they basically lost the qualification to compete for the world. Song Shidao took the opportunity to occupy Jingxiang, Xubang, and further expanded his sphere of influence.

"Brother is really good." Song Yuzhi admired him after hearing the victory report.

Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, but he was still a little worried.

Because although Song Shidao went on the expedition smoothly, he did not encounter a few tough guys.

Although Yuwen Huaji was the commander of the imperial army, he was not good at fighting. If he fought with the Song army, he would not take any head-on confrontation.

Instead, he would cut off the retreat of the Song army, then surround Jiangxia where Song Shidao was, and then surround the reinforcements, taking advantage of the opportunity when the Song clan was eager to send troops to rescue people, and set up ambushes at the passes along the way.

At that time, Song Shidao's retreat was cut off, and he was trapped in the city of sorrow. The Song clan would die if they tried to save him, and they would die if they didn't. This was the real trouble.

In short, Song Shidao still had the risk of going deep into the enemy's territory alone, and the rear was not solid. Once the vanguard failed in the battle, the territory he had conquered before would probably collapse.

It was not so easy to manage the rear well. After all, the Song clan still lacked talents, and there were not so many suitable people to manage in a short period of time.

However, Xiang Nan did not participate in these wars. During this period, in addition to accompanying Song Yuzhi, he was comprehending his sword intent.

...

The so-called sword intent is a higher level of the sword, transcending all the concepts of sword moves. The sword moves at will, the mind moves with the heart, the sword heart is clear, and it illuminates everything.

Know yourself, the enemy, and the environment well, and are not affected by any illusions or disguises. Know yourself and the enemy, and you will naturally be invincible in a hundred battles.

In layman's terms, when masters compete, they must know themselves, the enemy, and the environment very well.

In "The Sentimental Swordsman", Li Xunhuan would scout the place in advance and conduct a detailed investigation of the environment before dueling with others, so that he would have a clear idea of ​​the situation.

But many times, the fight happens suddenly, and you won't have any time to prepare.

At this time, once you master the sword intention and reach the state of "sword heart is clear", you will have a good understanding of yourself, the enemy, and the environment, and naturally you will have a better chance of winning.

And swordsmen's competitions are usually divided into false moves, real moves, or deliberately revealing flaws to lure people to attack.

It's like Huang Yaoshi's Falling Flowers Sword, which combines the real and the fake, with five fakes and one real, eight fakes and one real, and even the fake can turn to real, and the real can turn to the fake.

If you can't distinguish between fake and real moves and make a move at random, it will not only be futile, but also create opportunities for the opponent.

Moreover, in "The Legend of the Two Heroes of the Tang Dynasty", the martial arts of Cihang Jingzhai and the Demon Sect are very strange, and they all integrate illusions and mental attacks, which are often hard to guard against.

For example, the demonic sound of Kankan and the flute sound of Shi Feixuan can directly affect people's spirit.

The description of martial arts in the original novel "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is even more terrifying, and Zhu Yuyan's "Magic Field" can even give people the illusion of space collapse;

Shi Zhixuan's "Seal of Immortality" can quickly reverse the energy of life and death in the body, and use the method of detecting, knowing, and confusing the enemy to turn the opponent's true energy into his own use to attack the opponent. This is an extremely clever method. illusion.

Of course, due to the limited cost of the drama version, the "Heavenly Magic Field" and "The Seal of Immortality" in the original novel were not well presented, and they were all changed to "Strong Bricks Flying", which relied entirely on crude Kung Fu skills. It would be a huge regret not to say it.

If you can see through whether the enemy's moves are imaginary, real, illusion, or reality, you will naturally be able to adapt to the situation and make the most correct decision.

Therefore, sword intent is very important.

Once you understand it, you can basically be invincible, and even if you can't beat it, you can still escape in time.

Just like Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling, after mastering the realm of "Moon in the Well", although they still suffered defeats many times, they could still escape even if they couldn't be beaten.

So Xiang Nan began to understand his sword intention.

To understand the meaning of the sword, one must cultivate the power of the soul, the power of the spirit, and the power of the mind.

In short, people with stronger mental power have stronger perception, analysis and adaptability.

Although Xiang Nan is already one of the best, with a superior IQ, strong perception, analysis, and adaptability, it is still not enough, so he plans to go to Jing Nian Zen Monastery to obtain the hard training skills.
