    Three years have passed by in a blink of an eye, neither long nor short. A lot of things have happened in three years, some good and some bad.

    Let¡¯s talk about the bad things first. The Red Scarf Army led by Liu Futong and Han Shantong once expanded its power to Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi and other provinces. The size of the army once reached up to 700,000, which really caused great pain to the Yuan court.  Even King Ruyang personally took command, but failed to annihilate them in a short time as Yuan Shundu hoped.  However, after all, Liu Futong and Han Shantong were not men who could achieve great things, and they had no generals who could be entrusted with important responsibilities. There was only one Xu Shouhui, who was marginalized and led his troops south to Hubei. Therefore, in three years, the Red Scarf Army went from seven to seven.  The number of 100,000 soldiers gradually dropped to 300,000, and newly recruited soldiers accounted for one-third.  The Yuan army's attack is still so powerful. The Red Scarf Army's sphere of influence has been reduced to Henan, and it will only be destroyed sooner or later.

    Another bad thing is Xie Xun's incident. After the Battle of Guangmingding, Xie Xun threw himself into Shaolin, Yang Xiao was killed, and the rest were incorporated by the Shenlong Sect. On the surface, the Six Sects and the gang achieved brilliant results, but Guangming  After the Battle of Ding, Shaolin Temple took in Xie Xun and obtained the Dragon Sword, and immediately became a public enemy of the world's martial arts.  After all, the Shaolin Temple has a thousand-year reputation for its profound martial arts spirit, and there are many masters in the temple. It is actually a place where the dragon pond and the tiger's den are located. Although the world's martial arts community is dissatisfied with the Shaolin Temple for tolerating Xie Xun and taking away the dragon-slaying knife, there are very few people who dare to come and cause trouble.

    The few people who dare to come to make trouble does not mean that the Shaolin Temple is peaceful, because most people choose to cause trouble secretly, those who set fires, those who poison, those who specialize in killing monks with low martial arts skills, and almost all plots and conspiracies are used.  The Shaolin Temple suffered from severe headaches and injured as many as forty disciples in three years.  Moreover, a lion-slaying alliance is being secretly organized in the martial arts world. Once the alliance is established, they will go to the Shaolin Temple to investigate. The leader of this lion-slaying alliance is not known. I only know that this person is extremely skilled in martial arts. Even the head of the Yunnan Diancang Sect  It can't support ten moves in its hands.

    There are many good things, and here are two of the most representative ones. First, the Shenlong Sect¡¯s various preparations are in place, the training of the army has been completed, and the time for the uprising is ripe; second, Zhang Wuji, Zhou Yude, Zhou Zhiruo, Xiao Zhao,  Zhong Li, Ji Junlan and other younger generations are all adults (in ancient times, adults were fifteen years old, Zhang Wuji was already sixteen or seventeen years old, and Zhou Zhiruo was also fourteen or fifteen years old).

    Originally Hong Tianxiao thought Zhang Wuji was an honest man, but he didn¡¯t expect that this boy would actually have his eye on Zhou Zhiruo. After all, among the girls, even Xiao Zhao was slightly inferior in appearance, not to mention Zhong Li and Ji Junlan.  Of course, Zhang Wuji didn't know that Zhou Zhiruo was one of Hong Tianxiao's wives, so he actually went to beg Ji Xiaofu, hoping that Ji Xiaofu would make the decision to betroth Zhou Zhiruo to him. It happened that Hong Tianxiao and Ji Xiaofu were together, so Zhang Wuji naturally  He was scolded by Hong Tianxiao.  Hong Tianxiao also realized that Zhang Wuji's marriage could no longer be postponed, so he decided to betroth Xiao Zhao and Ji Junlan to him. With these two women watching him, Zhang Wuji naturally did not dare to pursue other women.  In addition, Hong Tianxiao was afraid that someone would have another idea for Zhou Zhiruo, so he took her away from Ji Xiaofu. In this way, those who wanted to have Zhou Zhiruo's ideas stopped one after another. Who dared to compete with Hong Tianxiao for a woman?  Unless you want to die.

    There is another incident, naturally, the head of the Emei sect, Miejie Shitai, and his junior sister, Jiu Nan Shen Ni, grew their hair and returned to secular life at the same time. This incident shocked people in the martial arts world no less than Hong Tianxiao's uprising three years later.  Of course, there are many speculations in the martial arts world as to why Fang Qian and Zhu Shurao returned to secular life, but the most common one is that they could not stand the Buddhist precepts.  Of course, there are also people who speculate that the two have a man, but no one can guess who that man is. Most guesses are that the two are having an affair with a male disciple, but this is just speculation after all, and there is no evidence. After talking about it,  It is not credible. Moreover, since the two announced their return to secular life, no outside man has come to the Emei sect, which makes the reason why the two returned to secular life a strange martial arts incident.

    In the autumn of 1354 AD, Hong Tianxiao raised the flag of justice in Qingcheng Mountain and officially began to resist the Yuan court. He occupied Sichuan and Yunnan with lightning speed and established the Ming Dynasty. Hong Tianxiao called himself King Ming. This move made  The world was shocked.  After Hong Tianxiao occupied Sichuan and Yunnan, he was not in a hurry to expand outwards. Instead, he gathered grain and trained troops to consolidate his territory.

    Sure enough, as Liu Bowen expected, after Hong Tianxiao rose up, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and others followed suit. In just half a year, in addition to the Red Scarf Army, more than a dozen political powers emerged across the country. Larger ones  They are Hong Tianxiao, Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng.

    Unlike Hong Tianxiao, the two regimes of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng developed very quickly. They were in the south and the north, and they echoed each other from afar. This caused a huge headache for the Yuan court and had to send two more armies to exterminate them.However, Hong Tianxiao's Ming Dynasty regime was treated coldly by the Yuan court.

    Regarding this current situation, many masters of the Shenlong Sect were greatly puzzled. They came to Hong Tianxiao to ask for a fight, but they were all rejected by Hong Tianxiao.  However, although Hong Tianxiao did not expand externally, he was very benevolent in governing the two provinces, abolishing all the bad policies of the Yuan court, and won the praise of the people in both places.  Many people from Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Shaanxi and other places moved their families to Sichuan and Guizhou. In just six months, the population of the two places surged by 300,000.

    After the Ming Dynasty's regime was recognized by the people in both places, Liu Bowen sent people to spread rumors that the Yuan court was about to use troops against the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's unstable foothold and lack of troops to annihilate it.  After all, ordinary people are ordinary people. How could they know that the Yuan court was having a headache to wipe out Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and the Red Turban Army? They just thought it was true and signed up to join the army one after another, expanding the Ming army's strength to 300,000.  Hong Tianxiao was secretly happy and ordered his generals Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Deng Yu and other generals to train the army every day. He only waited for the Yuan court to decide the winner with other rebels, and then took advantage of the opportunity.

    After the Hong Tianxiao uprising, Fang Qian immediately led his disciples to respond and became the first among the martial arts sects to respond to the call to oppose the Yuan Dynasty. Then the Diancang sect in Yunnan also responded.  The Beggar Gang also organized a gang to respond to Chen Youliang's uprising. The Beggar Gang's disciples were spread all over the world, which turned out to be a huge intelligence network formed by Chen Youliang. Only Zhang Shicheng's sphere of influence did not have a response from Jianghu sects.

    In 1356 AD, after accumulating strength for two years, King Hong Tianxiao of the Ming Dynasty sent General Xu Da to lead an army of 50,000 people eastward to Guangxi. With the cooperation of Feng Xueyao, the Guangxi branch of Shenlong Sect, it took only one month to conquer Guangxi.  It was included in the Ming Dynasty¡¯s sphere of influence.  Although the Yuan court also received the news, all its main forces had been contained and could no longer send troops south to deal with the Ming army.

    In fact, in the past two years, small-scale rebel armies were successively wiped out by Yuan soldiers, leaving only Hong Tianxiao, Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and the Red Turban Army in the country.  It is said to be four places, but it is actually three places. At this time, Han Shantong was dead, his son Han Lin'er succeeded to the throne, and Liu Futong took power. The strength of the Red Scarf Army had been almost wiped out by the Yuan Army. Its strength was less than 50,000, and its scope of influence was only  In Shangqiu and Kaifeng, it is only a matter of time before they are destroyed.

    The two anti-Yuan forces, Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, were evenly matched with the main force of the Yuan army. They relied on each other and actually withstood the million-strong main force of the Yuan army.  Although they resisted, it was quite difficult. The two of them wrote letters to Hong Tianxiao, hoping that he would send troops to the north and together they would wipe out the main force of the Yuan court.

    Chen Youliang¡¯s sphere of influence is Qinghai, Gansu, Shaanxi, Shaanxi and other places. Zhang Shicheng¡¯s sphere of influence is Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places. They are all north of the Yangtze River. Only Hong Tianxiao¡¯s sphere of influence is entirely in the south of the Yangtze River.  Hong Tianxiao was not a fool, and with Liu Bowen's help, how could he lead his army north across the river to fight the Yuan army? First, the land he occupied was too far away from Hong Tianxiao's sphere of influence, and he could not send troops to guard it. Second, the supply route back and forth was too long. Once the Yuan army  If the army sends a large army across the Yangtze River, the Ming army in the north of the Yangtze River will be plunged into a desperate situation.

    However, the rebels' request for help still had to be heeded. At Liu Bowen's suggestion, Hong Tianxiao divided his troops into two groups, with Xu Da as commander and Chang Yuchun, Deng Yu and Mu Ying as generals. He led a hundred thousand troops eastward into Guangdong, and then attacked northeast  In Fujian and Jiangsu south of the Yangtze River, in order to prevent the Yuan Dynasty from sending martial arts masters to assassinate the commander-in-chief, Hong Tianxiao sent the Hejian Shuangsha, the Eight-Armed Divine Sword Fang Dongbai and the Green-winged Bat King Wei Yixiao to protect Xu Da's safety.  Hong Tianxiao personally took command, with Liu Bowen as military advisor, Tang He and Hua Yun as generals, and a hundred thousand troops to attack Hunan, then go north to Hubei, and finally east to Anwei in the south of the Yangtze River. If the two armies can succeed, then Jiangnan will  All the land will be owned by Hong Tianxiao.

    This battle is a crucial battle for Hong Tianxiao. Whether Hong Tianxiao can achieve hegemony depends on this.  Once this battle is successful, not only will the land south of the Yangtze River be owned by Hong Tianxiao, but his strength will also be doubled, which will deal a one-third blow to the strength of the Yuan court. Moreover, by occupying the natural danger of the Yangtze River, even if Hong Tianxiao is disadvantaged in going north, he can  Staying in danger, waiting for the opportunity, and sending troops to the Northern Expedition. Therefore, as long as this battle can succeed, Hong Tianxiao will be in an invincible position.  Once the Yuan court loses strength, it is equivalent to helping Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang. The battle between the two and the main force of the Yuan army will continue to be postponed. This is not good for the Yuan court, but it is also bad for Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang, but it is a huge benefit to Hong Tianxiao.  And no harm done.

    Although the two armies are both 100,000, Xu Da's pressure is much greater than that of Hong Tianxiao, because there are branches of the Shenlong Sect in Hunan and Hubei, and the leaders of the branches are Cheng Qingyi and Zhang Xun respectively, but Guangdong, Fujian,  However, there is no branch of Shenlong Sect in Jiangsu, so there is no internal response.

    Naturally, the Yuan court quickly learned the news that Hong Tianxiao's 200,000-strong army was attacking the Jiangnan areas. However, the main army was held back by Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang and could no longer send any extra troops. It could only urgently order the garrison guards in the Jiangnan areas to hurry up.  Recruit an army to resist the invasion of Hong Tianxiao's army.

    However, Hong Tianxiao ruled Sichuan and Yunnan for two years, and the name of benevolence has spread throughout the world. The Ming army rarely encountered resistance wherever it went. The Han army defected one after another, and the people in some places even participated in riots and cooperated with the Han army.  The army killed the leader of the Yuan army in the garrison and surrendered the city. In just one month, Hong Tianxiao's army had advanced to the foot of Wudang Mountain in Hubei.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)In the future, we can only urgently order the generals in the Jiangnan areas to recruit troops to resist the invasion of Hong Tianxiao's army.
