    As for the other two princes and kings, the King of Liao was far away in Yunzhou in the northeast.  It was a bitter cold land with a vast territory and sparsely populated areas, but it was rich in mineral deposits, as well as a huge amount of medicinal materials, furs, timber, cattle, sheep and livestock. It was not poor at all, and could support hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry.  The King of Liao also had a good relationship with the surrounding foreign races. If necessary, he could recruit tens of thousands of foreign warriors to fight for him in a short period of time, and his strength should not be underestimated.

    The last King Su is in Xinzhou, which is further away in Western Xinjiang. It is a state capital with a wider area and a small population. People from the Celestial Dynasty of China and some foreign races from Western Xinjiang live here together.  Moreover, it is the only place where the caravans from the Western Desert Empire come east, and trade is also developed.  Moreover, the people of all ethnic groups under the rule are tough by nature and are not afraid of death in battles. The imperial court has always had a headache about this.  In addition, King Su also had close contacts with the Yushen Sect in Bazhou and formed an alliance to help each other, which further consolidated King Su's dominance over Xinzhou.

    The Yushen Sect is one of the four major sects. It is a pure magic sect. This sect is most famous for its beast taming, puppets and talisman soldiers.  Bazhou is a land of barren mountains and rivers, and the people are impoverished. Although there are many natural materials and treasures in the local area that are conducive to magic practice, the overall strength is too weak to resist the imperial army, so they came together with the neighboring King Su.

    The other three major factions are relatively isolated. Apart from being closely connected with each other, they rarely cooperate with other forces.  They do not have the ambition of princes and kings, and they do not want to rebel. They are purely for self-protection.

    Since the Shengwu Dynasty, the conflict between traditional sects and the imperial academy system has never stopped.  Successive dynasties promoted the academic system intermittently, incorporated and restructured various sects and sects in Central China, and gradually evolved into imperial-controlled academies, replacing the once glorious sect era.  To this day, only the four major sects are left in the world. Other magic or martial arts sects have either surrendered to the imperial court, disappeared, or their inheritance has been cut off, and they will never become popular again.

    The reason why the four major sects have been able to maintain their existence to this day is primarily due to their geographical location.  Yushen Sect is far away in the mountains of Bazhou in Western Xinjiang. The other three sects, Chongxuan Dao is in the north, Dongli Sword Sect is in the southeast, and Fuluo Sect is close to the millions of wild mountains. It can be said that they are far apart from each other.  one party.  It is precisely because they are located in remote frontier areas, and have deeply rooted in these places, and have won the support of local people, that they have survived several major restructuring trends in history.

    Secondly, the four major sects are all good at forbearing, and their ability to seize opportunities is extremely precise.  When the court was powerful, they would pretend to be grandsons and would never confront you head-on. There were even a few times when they were forced to close the mountain gate or go into darkness. But as long as there was an opportunity, they would take advantage of the situation and quickly recover.  Strength is like the weeds in the wilderness, full of incredible resilience.

    Take the Daiei Dynasty a hundred years ago as an example. If the imperial court had not suffered heavy losses during the Great Shattering Period, the four major factions would have seized the opportunity to consolidate the place, form a powerful army, force the imperial court to publicly acknowledge their existence, and allow them to appoint their disciples to serve.  Local officials formed a system of autonomy to safeguard their own interests.  He also joined forces with several other forces to suppress the imperial court several times, forcing the imperial court to not dare to use troops at will, and missed several good opportunities to defeat them individually. Only then did the inheritance of the four major sects continue.  But now, their living space is once again threatened, and they are likely to send troops together with the three princes and kings to hinder the imperial court's northern expedition.  If that happens, the war will break out in the surrounding areas of Middle-earth at the same time and get out of hand until life and death are separated. Tie Heng estimates that the war will last for several years.

    Since Gongsun Bian and others knew the news that the imperial court was preparing for the Northern Expedition, it was no longer a secret.  On the second day of school, word spread among the people, and the clouds of war began to hang over the land of China.  In order to enhance the deterrence of each branch of the Heavenly Guards, the imperial court ordered all states and counties to allocate some soldiers to cooperate with the Heavenly Guards operations.  At the same time, garrison generals from various states were allowed to recruit troops and expand their armies to prepare for war.

    The most direct impact of these on Tie Heng is that he has hardly had a good day of class since the beginning of school.  On the one hand, a large number of teachers in the school are searching for treasures in that dirty land, and some courses cannot be started.  On the other hand, as Fuzhou began to recruit new soldiers and form new military brigades, the governor's office and the garrison general's office issued a large number of commissions to Fa Dao College, the most important of which was to enchant weapons and armor to enhance their offensive capabilities.  Sharpness and sturdiness.  Of course, these possessed weapons are not for ordinary soldiers, but are standard equipment for officers. They are also used to equip elite troops, such as generals' personal barracks or cavalry.  Even so, the amount of swords, guns, swords, halberds, shields, armor and other types of equipment required is staggering, and some of them are small gadgets such as arrow clusters and horseshoes, which can almost pile up into a mountain.

    Half a month into the school year, all students in the six grades of Fa Dao Branch only have one or two classes a day. The rest of the time they go to the school's weapon-making hall to participate in work, or they simply don't go to class for several days, and the students go directly to the government's ordnance factory.  Assemble and bring in as much equipment as possible, they??Attach spirits one by one.  Every student seems to have become a coolie, with endless errands to do all day long, but they are exhausted and have few complaints.  After all, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, not to mention that they are all magician apprentices with some status.  Everyone's work results are recorded by a dedicated person, and based on this, they are paid a lot of remuneration. Those who perform well will also receive awards, and the school will also give them appropriate bonus points in several subjects.  These are not the most important. You must know that the art of spirit possession covers many aspects such as spells, talismans, formations, spiritual patterns, weapon making, etc. Now the government provides inexhaustible resources. While the students are working, they are  Uninterrupted practice is itself an accumulation of experience, which is very beneficial to one's own cultivation and growth. This is also the reason why students work hard and have no complaints. After all, such good things do not happen every day.

    He continued to be busy in this way until late February. When the teachers who had dug up treasures returned with full loads and joined this new work, the efficiency suddenly increased several times, especially among the several full-time spiritual masters.  With one hundred senior students, the share required by the government was completed within two days.  However, there are many other tasks waiting for these masters.  For example, Feng Shiyou wanted to refine high-end magical weapons for the government, and even had the task of two single treasures.  Those pharmacists are even busier. Common medicines can be solved by medical pharmacists, but the high-quality medicines prepared by officers and generals must be refined by them personally.

    After all this trouble, the school was finally able to resume classes normally, and students returned to class.
