I manage female characters in all the heavens.

The Northern Expeditionary Army totaled 10 men. Starting from Lin'an, they marched northward in a mighty force, absorbing some scattered troops along the way to form a total of 20 men.

Guo Jing's Northern Expedition could only be described as "unstoppable".

The Jin Dynasty was already in a state of fragmentation because the court was wiped out, and local warlords fought their own battles, making it impossible to form an effective resistance.

Guo Jing led his army northward, conquering cities and fortresses, and was invincible.

Some of the remnants of the Jin dynasty were wiped out, while others surrendered without resistance. The former territory of the Northern Song dynasty was quickly recovered.

In just one month, Guo Jing recovered a large amount of lost territory, including Kaifeng.

However, just when things seemed to be going very well, a variable emerged.

Mongolia.

Genghis Khan Temujin unified the various tribes of the grasslands in a short period of time and established the Mongol Empire a few years ahead of schedule.

Taking advantage of the collapse of the Jin Dynasty and the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty, he led his troops south and began to swallow up the Jin Dynasty's territory.

With the Song Dynasty advancing from south to north and the Mongols advancing from north to south, the remnants of the Jin Dynasty were quickly and completely wiped out, and large swathes of territory were divided between the Song Dynasty and the Mongols.

The problem is that Mongolia acted too quickly.

When Guo Jing led his army to the Yan-Yun area, he discovered that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan-Yun had already been seized by the Mongols.

The Mongol army deployed its troops along the border, creating a standoff between the north and south with Guo Jing's Northern Expeditionary Army.

The Mongol Empire was far superior to the corrupt Jin Dynasty.

Genghis Khan's Mongol cavalry roamed the grasslands, invincible and extremely powerful.

Although Guo Jing led over 100,000 battle-hardened elite troops, he was not confident of victory against the Mongol army.

Similarly, the Mongols were also wary of Guo Jing and his elite troops.

The two sides are locked in a standoff along the border, engaging in small-scale, low-intensity probing attacks, but neither side has made any significant progress.

No one initiated a major war, and a temporary peace was ultimately achieved to some extent.

But this is only a superficial peace; both sides are increasing their troop presence at the border, and their intentions are obvious.

When the news reached Li Mochou, she was vacationing on Peach Blossom Island.

She was brought here by Huang Rong.

Huang Rong insisted on taking her to Peach Blossom Island because she said it had beautiful scenery and lots of seafood. In reality, she saw that the future of the Immortal Venerable was limitless and wanted to use her connections to help her father, the Eastern Heretic, and get some benefits in return.

Huang Rong was essentially a filial daughter.

Li Mochou figured she had nothing else to do, so she came along.

On Peach Blossom Island, she met Huang Yaoshi.

Although this Eastern Heretic had an eccentric personality, he was quite polite to the legendary immortal "Li Mochou," after all, she was just strange, not stupid.

The two chatted happily, discussing everything from martial arts and military strategy to astronomy and geography, astrology, divination, and the art of divination. They found themselves getting along very well.

Li Mochou also obtained the complete version of the Nine Yin Manual from Zhou Botong, satisfying her collecting obsession.

In return, she taught one of her Six Ultimate Skills to Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong respectively.

Huang Yaoshi obtained the Finger of Illusion and Zhou Botong obtained the Palm of Nine Netherworlds. Both of them could tell that these were peerless divine skills that were even above the Nine Yin Manual. They were very shocked that "Li Mochou" could bring out such divine skills to exchange, but they did not refuse.

I dare not refuse the gift from the immortal.

Of course, the reason why Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong were treated so well was because they both supported Huang Rong being with her.

Such enlightened people are rare these days; we should cherish them.

Li Mochou lived a very comfortable life on Peach Blossom Island, eating seafood, sunbathing, playing chess and discussing philosophy with Huang Yaoshi every day, and occasionally teasing the pretty Huang Rong. She lived a carefree and leisurely life.

Then she received news from the front lines—the Mongols had occupied the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun and were in a standoff with Guo Jing.

"What the hell?" Li Mochou was gnawing on a crab when she heard the news and immediately crushed the crab shell. "Does the Mongols dare to stop me from unifying the world?"

Temujin, how dare you!

She immediately stood up, her face terribly grim: "Back to Lin'an!"

Huang Rong could tell from her expression that someone was about to be in trouble.

Upon returning to Lin'an, "Li Mochou" immediately instructed Tie Xinlan to summon all civil and military officials and announce a decision: "Increase the army by 300,000 to support Guo Jing's Northern Expedition!"

A minister cautiously reminded him: "Your Majesty, we have already committed a considerable number of troops to the Northern Expedition. We still have 15 left. If we add another 30, that will be a total of 45 troops..."

"There's no problem with the national treasury, it's more than enough. The problem is that there aren't enough standing troops in the country, so we have to recruit and train soldiers on the spot. We can't increase the number of troops in Yanyun on a large scale in the short term."

"Then recruit!" Li Mochou waved her hand. "Recruit as many as you can, first expand the national standing army to one million!"

During her previous purge of the imperial court, she confiscated the homes of countless corrupt officials, accumulating a vast fortune.

In addition, the Song Dynasty itself was actually very wealthy, but it had been hollowed out by corrupt officials in the past. Now that those parasites were gone, the country's strength was astonishingly abundant.

The Song Dynasty's military strength has always been quite strong. During peacetime, it had a standing army of over 400,000, and its overall armor coverage rate was the highest in the world. The soldiers also had the ambition to recover lost territory and make great achievements.

It's just that the previous administrators were too weak, incompetent, and corrupt, which caused the Song army to suffer repeated defeats.

Now that the Immortal Venerable has descended upon the world, the Great Song Dynasty has been reborn. With General Guo loving his soldiers like his own children, Grand Tutor Huang strategizing and planning, General Wu leading the charge into battle, and National Preceptor Ma pursuing souls from the underworld, the military might of the Great Song Dynasty is unstoppable.

Within three months, the Song Dynasty court moved back to Kaifeng.

This place has always been the capital of the Song Dynasty. Lin'an was merely a temporary capital, not the legal capital.

Now that Kaifeng had been recaptured, the Song Dynasty naturally had to move back there and continue to use Kaifeng as its capital.

Meanwhile, 300,000 new troops had completed their armed training and departed from Kaifeng to reinforce Guo Jing's forces.

These new recruits all underwent rigorous training and were equipped with the best weapons and armor.

More importantly, Li Mochou personally took action, using her demonic powers to "baptize" them—not brainwash them, but to inspire their inner courage and killing will.

Soldiers who have undergone this baptism of fire are all determined, fearless, and far more powerful than ordinary troops.

Under the leadership of Guo Jing, an army of 450,000 launched a full-scale attack on the Mongols.

This battle was fierce and devastating.

The Mongol army mobilized 500,000 troops, personally commanded by Genghis Khan.

The two sides engaged in a major battle that lasted for half a month in the Yan-Yun area.

Guo Jing commanded with composure, Huang Rong strategized with wisdom, Wu Santong charged into battle, and Ma Xiaotian provided medical care from the rear.

The 450,000-strong army, having undergone a baptism of demonic power, pounced on the Mongol cavalry like tigers and wolves, and actually routed the 500,000-strong Mongol army head-on!

Guo Jing pressed his advantage, not only recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, but also fighting his way to the grasslands, where he seized a large number of cattle, sheep and horses.

Genghis Khan was defeated and forced to retreat, and was about to be pushed back to his hometown. Finally, he became furious.

He wrote a letter to Guo Jing, appealing to their familial bond.

The gist is: Guo Jing is someone I watched grow up, and I even betrothed my daughter Hua Zheng to him. We're practically family. So, is it appropriate for Guo Jing to beat up his father-in-law like this?

However, Guo Jing, being a chivalrous person, puts the country and the people first and not himself. In his reply, he said that as long as it makes the world better, he would not hesitate to beat up not only his not-so-kind father-in-law, but also his fiancée Hua Zheng and his good brother Tuolei!

In the letter, he also ordered Genghis Khan to surrender, to lay down his arms and surrender with courtesy. He said that the immortal was benevolent and kind, and that Genghis Khan would not lose his title of marquis. At that time, everyone would serve as ministers in the same court, so that the father-son relationship could continue and the family could continue to be kind and filial.

If they stubbornly resist and refuse to listen, the Immortal Venerable will be furious and leave no one alive. For details, please refer to the Jin Kingdom.

After reading the letter, Genghis Khan was so angry that he overturned the table on the spot.

Enraged, he immediately ordered the arrest of Li Ping, Guo Jing's mother who had been left in Mongolia. He then sent a messenger to Guo Jing, threatening him to surrender immediately or he would be killed.

Guo Jing was furious upon receiving the news.

Li Mochou had previously given him a spiritual empowerment, and his martial arts had reached a level comparable to the Five Greats. He had also learned the Spear Technique: Wind and Thunder Break, one of the Six Greats' true skills, making his killing power earth-shattering.

However, he has always commanded operations as a commander-in-chief and rarely takes action himself.

But now that his mother has been arrested, he can no longer hold back.

Without needing the cover of night, Guo Jing charged into the Mongol camp alone.

He single-handedly broke through the entire Mongol army.

Those Mongol cavalrymen were like paper in front of him, unable to withstand a single move from him.

He fought his way to the central command tent, rescued his imprisoned mother Li Ping, and then stormed up to Genghis Khan, capturing him in one fell swoop.

With Genghis Khan captured, the Mongol army suffered a crushing defeat.

Guo Jing's army seized the opportunity to launch an attack, completely defeating the Mongol army and bringing the entire grassland into the territory of the Song Empire.

Genghis Khan and other high-ranking Mongolian officials were escorted to Kaifeng.

Li Mochou sat on the dragon throne, looking at Genghis Khan kneeling below, and grinned: "Oh, isn't this the great Genghis Khan? What brings you to Kaifeng as a guest?"

Genghis Khan raised his head, looked at this legendary "immortal," remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "The victor is king, the loser is villain. Kill me or torture me, it is all up to you."

“I will kill, but not you.” Li Mochou waved her hand. “The high-ranking officials of the Mongol Empire, those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should be imprisoned will be imprisoned.”

"As for you... I'll spare your life for Guo Jing's sake. From now on, you'll live in Kaifeng, where you'll be well-fed and cared for. Just don't think about causing any trouble."

Genghis Khan: "…………" I'd rather die than cause trouble!

Most of the high-ranking officials of the Mongol Empire were executed. Only a few, including Genghis Khan Temujin, Huazheng, and Tolui, were spared by order of "Li Mochou" and given preferential treatment.

After all, Huang Rong was now his, and Guo Jing's future needed to be settled. Hua Zheng was quite a good choice.

After the Mongols were subdued, the Song Dynasty acquired a large number of excellent warhorses and quickly formed a large-scale heavy cavalry regiment, which continued to expand in all directions, including the southeast, northwest and southwest.

The Song Dynasty relied on external plunder to supplement its own development and accelerate its growth, thus embarking on the path of imperialism and consolidating its power.

The Song Dynasty transformed from a decaying, declining dynasty into a mighty, invincible empire, a true revival, and a revival that knows no bounds.

All of this was brought about by Li Mochou.

Because she recently began calling herself "Great Sun Immortal Venerable," this period of history is known to later generations as the "Great Sun Restoration."

After accomplishing her initial goal of establishing her dominance over the world, Li Mochou finally began to pursue her "greater cause"—establishing a religious sect and plundering faith.

Drawing on her previous experience in the world of The Legendary Twins, she established the "Great Sun Immortal Sect" within the Song Dynasty, proclaimed herself the Great Sun Immortal Venerable, and ordered people all over the country to worship and plunder her incense offerings and faith.

She wasn't really sure if this thing would work, but since she had nothing better to do, she might as well give it a try, just in case it came in handy.

With the full cooperation of the Great Song Empire, and the great achievements and strength of the Great Sun Immortal Venerable in truly purifying the world and reforming the world, the Great Sun Immortal Sect flourished and grew rapidly.

In less than two months, it replaced the Quanzhen Sect as the number one sect in the world, and then it even annexed the Quanzhen Sect. All seven Quanzhen disciples joined the Immortal Venerable's ranks and became elders of the Great Sun Immortal Sect.
