The morale of the army under his command was low. Tuotuo wanted to boost his morale and defeat the Ming army in front of him, but was blocked by the Five Elements Flag. In all his helplessness, he could only slowly withdraw his troops and retreat to Yangzhou.

"Nahai, Mu Kuntu, Qiu Chengye! You three trash said they were assassinating Gao Cheng, but they all brought all the masters in. Even if you don't die, I will give His Majesty a memorial to you when you come back!"

Tuotuo cursed in his heart. When he saw Gao Cheng and Ming Jun, he knew that the plans of Na Hai and Mu Kuntu failed. As for whether these people were dead or alive, it is unknown now. However, these masters who are known as the best in the world were seriously injured even if they did not die.

Otherwise, these people wouldn't have had any news yet.

On the ship, Gao Cheng saw the Mongolian Yuan army retreating slowly, and was cautious and orderly. While retreating, there was a counterattack formation hidden. Among the army's army, tens of thousands of cavalry were led but not launched. He did not dare to be careless at all.

"Tutuo seems to be very capable!"

Gao Cheng passed the order to prevent the army from chasing it. He watched hundreds of thousands of troops of the Mongolian Yuan retreat into the city. He sighed in his heart. In the original timeline, Tuotuo was the pillar of the Mongolian Yuan court. At least, he was much more powerful than Zhao Min's father, King Ruyang.

The government affairs and army mobilization of the Mongol Yuan were all supported by him. Unfortunately, when he led a million troops to besiege Gaoyou, he was attacked by the political enemies in the rear, allowing the emperor to change his commander at the last minute, resulting in Gaoyou's defeat. After leaving the office, the Mongol Yuan was out of power and could no longer suppress the rebel army in the world.

But now Tuotuo has just become the prime minister, and his power has not stabilized. This time he led a 500,000 army of water and land to the south, but the army was not good at going to the army and the navy was defeated.

Maybe he won't be able to wait long, and Tuotuo will be reprimanded by the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, just like the original timeline, and he will lose his military power.

When Gao Cheng thought of this, he did not rush to attack the city, but sent a navy to attack the Mengyuan Water Village first. At this time, the Mongyuan Navy had only more than 10,000 people left, and had not recovered from the defeat. He was attacked by Chang Yuchun and could not hold on.

The navy cleaned the periphery of Yangzhou, and Gao Cheng personally led his troops to surround Yangzhou. The soldiers of the Houtuqiu flag were building a large number of projects every day, digging trenches everywhere on the land outside Yangzhou City. They blocked the most sharp cavalry of the Mongolian Yuan army tightly in the city.

Gao Cheng was not in a hurry to attack the city, and Tutuo sent a large army out of the city every day to break the siege, but he was still unable to break the formation of the Five Elements Flag and tens of thousands of troops.

For a time, the Ming army and the Mongolian Yuan army were in a confrontation in Yangzhou.

...

When the Ming army surrounded Yangzhou and blocked hundreds of thousands of Mongolian Yuan troops, the news of the Yangzhou war spread throughout the world through various channels. On Wudang Mountain, Zhang Sanfeng showed a happy expression. In Huashan, the two elders of Huashan and Ning Qingyu put down their hearts that almost jumped out.

Zhongnan Mountain, Yang Yunling heard the news from Gao Cheng, thought of what Li Mochou mentioned to her, and her eyes became blurred. After Master Miejue from Mount Emei, hesitated for a moment and gave up his plan to clean up the Ming Cult in Sichuan and Shu branch.

The news spread more and more widely, and Gao Cheng, the King of Wu, became more and more famous, and was regarded by the people of the world as the only candidate to overthrow the Mongol Yuan and restore the Central Plains.

In the blink of an eye, it was two months. Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, Feng Guoyong and Hu Dahai were all famous generals with extraordinary abilities. Gao Cheng dragged the Mongolian and Yuan army in Yangzhou, and they captured cities and land in the two Huaihe Rivers, continuously breaking Taizhou, Gaoyou, and heading straight to Huai'an.

In the south of the Yangtze River, Li Shanchang, Liu Ji and others sorted out their internal affairs and gradually stabilized. They continuously provided Gao Cheng with a large amount of money, grain and military resources.

Chang Yuchun stayed in Zhenjiang camp, constantly accepted new recruits, and began to train soldiers in the rear.

As long as this situation is followed, with the support of the Jiangnan land and continuous farming and training, Gao Cheng will have the capital to dominate the world in less than two years.

The Mongolian Yuan court could also think of this situation and began to mobilize cavalry on the grassland and soldiers from the Central Plains to form an army of 200,000, led by King Ruyang, and came to support Yangzhou along the Grand Canal.

On this day, Gao Cheng came to the top of the ship to swallow the purple air of the morning sun. The extremely pure innate energy was constantly refined and poured into Gao Cheng's dantian.

The true energy that has condensed into a paste is like purple mercury, emitting a misty atmosphere.

When he refined all three streams of the rising sun purple aura, he suddenly shook his whole body, and a faint purple aura surged around his body, and a supreme, noble, and most pure aura appeared in his body.

"This is... the fourth level of Zixia Gong, the innate purple qi!"

Gao Cheng showed ecstasy expression on his face. After so many days of water grinding, he finally cultivated Zixia Gong to the peak. The Nine Yang True Qi in his body was also condensed into innate purple Qi by Zixia Gong.

It can be said that no matter what internal strength he practiced before, he could condense into innate true energy through the Zixia Technique. He secretly used the exercises and a faint purple qi appeared all over his body.

"Innate Gangqi! Hardness and softness are combined, and yin and yang are combined! This Gangqi has greater potential than Nine Yang Gangqi!"

Only one step away, as long as you practice Zhixu Sutra to the ninth level! Gao Cheng can practice innate skills. At the same time, he cultivates the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, laying an extremely mellow foundation for cultivation.

Gao Cheng practiced Zixia Gong. When he was happy, Chang Yuchun and Zhu Sheng came to this big ship with serious expressions.

"King of Wu, King Ruyang has already arrived in Shandong, and in a short time, he will arrive in Xuzhou! If the king does not make a decision, then 200,000 reinforcements from Mongolian Yuan will come to Yangzhou and attack inside and outside, our army will be defeated!" Zhu Sheng's face was anxious. After receiving military information these days, he persuaded Gao Cheng to retreat.

After all, there are hundreds of thousands of Mongolian Yuan troops in Yangzhou City. Even if you attack the city without hesitation, you will not be able to break the city in the short term. Once the Mongolian Yuan reinforcements arrive, the Ming army that cannot be captured for a long time will be taken by the opponent to take the opportunity to reverse the situation.

Gao Cheng was calm and took out a few silk pieces from his arms with red handwriting on them. He handed them to Zhu Sheng, and the other party took them and looked at them. He was shocked.

"This... is this the surrender letter from the commander of the Yuan and Han Army in Inner Mongolia? How is that possible?" Zhu Sheng said in shock.

Gao Cheng smiled and said, "I sent Lan Yu to attack Taizhou and Gaoyou before, cut off the grain route in Yangzhou and besieged the city for two months. No matter how much food and grass there are in the city, it cannot withstand the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops!"

"In addition to the hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou City, the food and grass consumed by so many people every day is astronomical! Now Yangzhou is probably out of food!"

When Chang Yuchun heard this, he showed a look of pride and understood Gao Cheng's plan to not attack the city these days.

He said: "If the city is short of food, as the Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty, he will naturally give priority to supplying Mongolian soldiers and grass. The Han army and the people will go hungry! The Han army has more than 200,000. If so many people are hungry, they will definitely feel resentful. As long as our army compiles a letter and surrenders, these people will definitely surrender!"
