Chapter 278: Chapter 129: Willing to Spearhead for You, Through Fire and Blades!_2

"To draw a sword and dare to rebel against the world alongside townsfolk who butcher pigs, sell vegetables, and talk idly, is simply a death wish."

"They would fight their way back to the big army for an abandoned son; they would stand at the forefront, fighting with all their might for their blood brothers, forsaking an emperor-like grand undertaking, unregretful unto death; they would abandon the entire situation just to battle a certain enemy."

"But it’s these same fellows who, like a flame, attract those with similar great aspirations, the so-called heroic spirit, the charm of a leader—such unreasonable things."

"Strategists have cunning dispositions, we practice the crafty ways of the Military School."

"However, the teacher said,"

"Without crafty ways, it’s difficult to win battles, but crafty ways alone are not enough for a great victory. You can defeat others, but not the world."

"Those who gain the world through sinister machinations will not have a long reign!"

"Open and aboveboard, these four words."

"Sometimes it’s really hard to measure their weight against the pros and cons."

Breaking Army sighed as he spoke of the young man’s strengths and weaknesses, with a hint of bragging, as if his words were still too many, too messy, noisy enough to disturb the silver-haired girl’s reading. She thought for a moment, her voice calm, and said:

"His cooking skills are good, that’s also a strength."

"The pastries made with milk, ghee, and honey are unlike anything in Jiangnan."

The girl closed the book she had finished reading, her eyes looking at the handsome youth in front of her, her voice quiet: "Did you taste them?"

Breaking Army’s proud expression froze: "..."

"Hmm?"

"Hmm?!!!"

He talked a lot, but it was this one sentence that pierced through him. He tugged at the corner of his mouth, about to speak, but then he heard a noisy voice from outside. Breaking Army turned his head and saw the young man approaching with great joy. He greeted him, saying: "Lord."

His steps halted, then looking back, the branches of the hanging trees swayed slightly.

The silver-haired girl was no longer in sight.

Shaking Light’s technique, perhaps?

Li Guanyi walked in, followed by the young Khan Qibi Li. Li Guanyi pointed to Breaking Army, paused, and said openly to Qibi Li behind him: "Breaking Army, my strategist."

Breaking Army smiled, but sensed something different from the usual.

Then Li Guanyi pointed at Qibi Li, saying: "The Khan of one of the Nine Tribes of Tiele, Qibi Li."

Breaking Army said with a smile: "I’ve long admired your name, Khan Qibi."

They walked into Li Guanyi’s courtyard. When the young man walked in, he subconsciously looked towards the corner of the wall, feeling that there should be a girl there. Not seeing her, he withdrew his gaze and then sat down in the yard.

Breaking Army stood to the young man’s right.

Qibi Li stood on his left.

Li Guanyi sat in the middle below the hall.

Li Guanyi motioned for them to sit down. The two fell silent and took their seats. The children were already distracted by the delicious food, while Li Guanyi briefed Breaking Army on the general situation. Breaking Army immediately replied: "The Xue Family and the Turkic Seven Kings’ trade caravan can support ten Tiele tribes."

"However, I wonder what products you have, Khan?"

Qibi Li said: "Furs, dried meat, some food and medicinal herbs, and cattle and sheep."

He fell silent, adding: "And people, men, men who can fight."

Breaking Army burst into laughter and exclaimed: "Foolish!"

He said bluntly: "You value human lives too cheaply. Yes, it’s a chaotic time, but because it’s a chaotic time, you should raise the price of your lives... Don’t throw yourselves at others; wait for them to come to you."

"Don’t underestimate your own lives."

Qibi Li fell silent, then asked: "What should I do?"

Breaking Army smiled and said: "First, bring the goods for trade. If you need our help, please make these items more useful. The number of cattle and sheep, as long as it’s enough to ensure the livelihood of your tribes, the rest..."

Qibi Li asked: "Trade for what?"

Breaking Army didn’t hesitate: "Horses!"

"War horses! Horses that can make long-distance raids and adapt to most terrains!"

Qibi Li fell silent; Li Guanyi sat below in the hall. Such matters he did not understand, so he left them to Breaking Army. Qibi Li turned his head and saw the young man sitting calmly, the breeze carrying willow branches onto his shoulders, the bright and youthful impression, ripples on the pond.

Qibi Li nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Breaking Army asked: "What is the structure of your tribes?"

After Qibi Li explained, Breaking Army thought and said:

"Why not do this, structure yourselves like an army—don’t get angry, hear me out—from the Khan down to the most common villagers, arrange everyone according to military ranks. The world hasn’t fallen into chaos yet, but the Western Regions are already in turmoil.

"The remnants of Tuyuhun, the rise of Dangxiang, the Western Regions, even the Protectorate of Ying Country.

"It’s no longer the time when you can support your people by toil and labor alone. On ordinary days, hunt and herd, and once trouble arises, you can immediately transform into an army. I’ll design new tents for you, then you can instantly set up camp."

Qibi Li said: "We only have a few thousand households."

Breaking Army laughed heartily, his laughter unrestrained and wild: "What few thousand households?" He stood up, his hands pressing on the shoulders of the young Khan in front of him, enunciating each word: "You’re mistaken, it’s five thousand elite light cavalry roaming soldiers, along with their families."

!!!!!

Qibi Li’s pupils contracted sharply.

This is the role of a top strategist, with just a sentence breaking the original limitations. He looked at the young man in front him, saw him spread his arms, smiling handsomely, his eyes shimmering with purple light, saying: "Don’t go about trading anymore, that’s wrong, fundamentally wrong."

"Dressed in clothes made of furs, engaged in pastoral work, convenient for the savage nature, a hero’s life should roam the world freely. What need for He Jinqi?"
