Chapter 859: Chapter 111: Dragon Roar Across the Land, Heroes Arise_2

Almost at the same time as the great war in the Western Regions.

The Turkic Great Khan’s Iron Futu gathered at the border of Ying Country.

A node that should have been intercepted by Xue Shuangtao and Jiang Wanxiang’s planted agent, the Seventh Prince, was not able to stop this terrifying military force for a special reason, causing Ying Country’s perfect strategy to collapse due to the disappearance of its most crucial link.

What shocked everyone was that Chen Country’s Night Rider Cavalry appeared in the Great Khan’s army, attacking Ying Country in a surprise move as a guest general.

Before heading to Central State, Li Guanyi learned about the changes on the grasslands from Xue Shuangtao. He only knew that Chen Dingye had cut off the trade route with the Turkic, but he did not know that he had secretly dispatched Commander Ye Zhongdao of the Night Rider Cavalry to go to the grasslands.

Chen Country had formed an alliance with the Great Khan of the grasslands to jointly resist Ying Country, but at the same time, Chen Dingye rejected the Great Khan’s demand for a certain royal woman to be sent over as part of the alliance.

"The alliance between Chen Country and the grasslands is only a distant alliance to attack nearby enemies, meant to restrain Ying Country."

"If the Great Khan wishes to covet the Central Plains, even if Chen Country perishes in ten years, I will still cut off this hand of the Great Khan, no matter how fiercely the Central Plains fight, how the moral standards collapse, that is a matter for the Central Plains."

"It’s not for outsiders to meddle!"

The Great Khan laughed heartily and said, "You want me to send troops, yet you don’t guard against me, Chen Dingye, where in the world is there such a good deal?"

Chen Dingye and the Great Khan drank wine at the place of the alliance and said:

"Then let yourself fall into fratricide."

"Jiang Wanxiang is still maintaining trade routes with you. Can’t you see he’s forcing you into an invisible alliance with him through the momentum?"

"Ying Country wants you and your son to fight so that his rear can settle down."

The Great Khan remained silent for a long time, looking at Chen Dingye, and thought of the former Crown Prince in the Western Regions. A strange expression appeared on the Great Khan’s face, and he softly said, "Fratricide, also, do you still consider that man your son?"

Chen Dingye was silent for a long time, then coldly laughed and said, "I only have one son."

"He is not..."

"He’s not."

The terms of the alliance were negotiated for a long time, and finally, the Great Khan said:

"The emperor of the Central Plains, you are right. I can’t allow the grasslands to be torn apart and become a pawn of Ying Country’s Jiang Wanxiang, but I will not become your pawn either. Be careful, for I may invade your Central Earth at any moment."

Chen Dingye replied, "As will I."

Ye Zhongdao broke two border city fortresses of Ying Country, slew six generals, and occupied two hundred li of land.

It seemed to be a response to Yuwen Lie’s atrocities.

Also, they slaughtered the military and fleeing people, building a Corpse Pile.

The Ming Mo Mechanism Technique was weaker than the other two factions, slightly delayed, yet still built fortresses at the front lines. The great currents of the world were turbulent, and in just a moment, Ying Country and Chen Country were tearing into each other like Dragon and Tiger, crazily ripping through the land.

All around, the flow of salt and iron began to be controlled, and wine was no longer sold.

Taxes were increased by one-third.

The price of grain began to rise day by day.

Different cities put up notices demanding to restrict the movement of the people and requiring that all able-bodied men come out to perform corvée labor.

While Chen Country and Ying Country were fighting, Regent King Chen Fubi laughed loudly, saying that it was indeed true, led the army back, stopped attacking Chen, and instead gathered a large army to launch the final assault on the heart of the Dangxiang Kingdom when no one expected.

Previously, when Xue Shuangtao discussed intelligence of the world with Li Guanyi, he mentioned the Regent King’s forces stopped near the capital of the Dangxiang Kingdom. He was just waiting for an opportunity, a suitable opportunity, an opportunity not interrupted by Chen Country.

And now, the opportunity had come.

The so-called timing is like the changing winds and clouds, and heroes of the world rise like dragons following the trends.

He would almost annihilate this country from nothing within two years!

Lu Youxian was prudent and steady, never taking advantage to attack Chen Fubi’s rear forces.

Chen Fubi broke three cities of the Dangxiang Kingdom in the Western Regions.

Slaughtered the cities for three days.

What the soldiers did was not in violation of the law, Chen Wenmian advised them to no avail.

Chen Fubi’s ferocious reputation became great.

The world was in turmoil, the winds and clouds changing.

Such changes would have no warnings.

In the end, flipping through the volumes of green histories, one could only sigh.

Suddenly, just like that.

In the palace of Central State, Ji Zichang looked at the changes occurring across the world, lost in thought, completely feeling the pain of the rising winds and clouds he could do nothing about. He somewhat understood why many heroes in the green histories ended up in such dejection.

Because the world was not just about one hero.

Because all the mighty men were waiting for the right moment.

The tides were stormy, too overwhelming to reverse.

Ji Zichang suddenly recalled the first meeting with Li Guanyi, where Li Guanyi spoke about that so-called hero. At this moment, pressing his palm on the table, he whispered:

"A dragon can be great or small, can ascend or hide; great, it stirs clouds and breathes mist; small, it hides its scales and conceals its form; ascending, it flies through the universe, hiding, it lurks in the depths of waves. In the present time, the dragon rises with the times, like a man gaining ambition and traversing the Four Seas..."

"In the present time, the dragon rises with the times, like a man gaining ambition and traversing the Four Seas."

Ji Zichang suddenly wept.

Winds and clouds rose everywhere, Chen Dingye and Jiang Wanxiang were no longer seen in Central State, and the envoys of Ying Country and Chen Country each left Central State, heading towards the world. For many, it was only after a night’s sleep that the world changed.

Moreover, this time, unlike before, the severity of events increased every day. In the end, people were panic-stricken, today hearing that a city was captured, there, hearing that a village was being requisitioned for military rations, and the people were slaughtered.
