Chapter 424: Chapter 177: Heroes Arise to Shape the World! (End of this volume)

"Report!"

In the temporary residence of Prince Jiang Gao of Ying Country, a shout was heard followed by someone rushing in, a shoulder-standing bird with feathers like blazing flames, holding a letter in both hands with two blood-colored wing seals, symbolizing its significance.

"It’s from the Grandmaster."

Jiang Gao received the letter with a respectful expression on his face.

Several days had passed since the great ceremony in Chen Country, and the world seemed to have returned to its former state as if nothing had changed. The people continued to live their lives, discussing the trivial matters of everyday life, yet it seemed that many important things had changed.

But these so-called important matters seemed unimportant to the common people.

The Emperor’s visage did not trouble the people’s minds any more than today’s stale cabbage.

Jiang Gao unfolded the letter. The handwriting was still serene, just like the person of the World’s Number One Divine General himself. Jiang Gao paused slightly. Yuwen Lie was sitting there drinking tea; he had also read the letter, and both were silent.

The Grandmaster wanted them to return.

Yuwen Lie looked at the letter, his gaze sweeping over each and every character:

"Chen Country has split. The Regent King Chen Fubi is a ferocious wolf, and Xue Daoyong is the fierce tiger of chaotic times. Chen Dingye is a mediocre and ineffective Monarch. It is due to Tantai Xianming’s presence that he misjudged himself, thinking he could balance the civil and military officials and the aristocratic families and the Royal Family."

"Tantai Xianming led Chen Dingye to believe that by focusing solely on the art of balancing, he could hold everything in the palm of his hand, forgetting that balancing requires a strong enough support to divide the civil and military factions. Once this support is gone, the previous balance collapses in an instant."

"Now, Chen Country is in chaos, the Western Regions have been divided, and the Xue Family’s fierce tiger dominates the court."

"Tantai Xianming’s strategy has completed. You all should come back quickly. The demand from the Turkic Seven Kings, which we previously told you was not timely, has now been agreed upon by His Majesty as well, and you all may return with them."

Yuwen Lie could feel the turbulent waves beneath these calm words. The world’s great trend had changed so suddenly during the short period of the great ceremony. The Grandmaster and Emperor Ying had agreed to the Turkic’s proposal.

In this way, the Turkic would be split into eastern and western parts.

Yuwen Lie was silent.

[Western Regions obliterated, Turkic split, Chen Country in chaos, and Ying Country with a strong army and a wise ruler. The World’s Number One Divine General strategizes to weaken one country to strengthen the world.]

He had once thought this strategy ridiculous.

Now, this ridiculous strategy unfolded on such a grand scale that it was a perfect opportunity for war, even for a Divine General like Yuwen Lie, who could not remain indifferent. It was the closest moment to unifying the Central Plains in three hundred years.

The last line inside the Grandmaster’s letter from Ying Country:

"Offer incense and pour a cup of wine in front of Tantai Xianming’s grave on my behalf."

"Congratulate him."

"He got what he wanted, an eternal infamy!"

Jiang Gao sighed, looked at Yuwen Lie, and said, "General, it is time for us to start our journey back home. This great ceremony allowed us to see the heroes of the world, but the world is so vast, we cannot afford to linger here."

Yuwen Lie gave a slight smile and said, "Very well."

......

The Turkic Seven Kings, having received news that Ying Country was willing to negotiate, were overjoyed and went to look for Breaking Army. Breaking Army was quietly drinking when he saw the simple joy of the Seven Kings and said, "It’s not a good thing. They want to split the Turkic, so there’s only one target now."

"The old dragon of Ying Country can no longer hold back."

The Seven Kings puzzled, then straightforwardly said, "Please enlighten me, sir."

Breaking Army sat there lazily, pointed to his mouth indicating he was thirsty, at which the proud Turkic Seven Kings laughed and personally poured tea for Breaking Army, saying, "Sir, don’t hold back. Speak up."

Breaking Army said, "They are going to make a move on Chen Country."

"To prevent the Regent King from growing too powerful, they aim to pierce through Chen Country, at least causing Chen Country to act against the Regent’s side. Emperor of Ying Country is quite old now, from the same era as Xue Daoyong. "

"His Martial Arts are not bad, what’s called the Emperor’s Martial Arts, bolstered by Qi Fortune, would not be inferior to a Great Grandmaster, but ultimately, he is not those long-lived old fellows."

"He fears death."

"What he fears even more is that after his death, his two sons will fight each other."

"I’ve spoken with them. Jiang Gao is being groomed for the grand era, a bright and legitimate wise ruler; however, Prince Jiang Yuan is a contingency, prepared to stop the fighting and maintain peace for the people, in case the grand enterprise is unfinished, to secure a corner."

"Thus, one is benevolent, the other is willful."

"Two of the world’s top ten Divine Generals, one supporting the Crown Prince, one supporting Prince Jiang Yuan."

"Emperor of Ying wants to unify Central Plains before he dies to prevent his two sons from fighting each other."

The Seven Kings’ expression changed: "With that Emperor’s prestige, after unifying the Central Plains, I fear I won’t have the chance to flourish and will only end up as his son-in-law. As the saying goes, being a son-in-law is worse than being a eunuch, and being an Emperor’s son-in-law is even worse than being a eunuch. Sir, this must not be."

Breaking Army laughed, "It won’t be so; Ying Country also has its own issues."

"Rest assured, in this regard, I will help you."

The young strategist’s pupils gleamed purple, and his smile was gentle: "As long as you follow my arrangements."

He raised his eyes to the distance.

The young strategist’s lips curled slightly.

[To feed Ying Country the shattered world, Tantai old dog, you underestimate me too much. Everyone just says you are radical, but I’ve thought about it, and I think you are still too conservative. Why just destroy Chen Country? Ying Country was once Wei Country, it’s been five hundred years.]
