Capítulo 1356: Chapter 106: Generals Die After a Hundred Battles, Heroes Never Return
The woman, whose hair was now largely white, had completed all the tasks her husband’s letter had instructed. Finally, she walked to an old tree, watching the people coming and going, and suddenly choked with sobs. She had read this farewell letter over and over, countless tis.
These were things Lu Youxian himself could not accomplish, and so confessions.
“Big sister, I am going first. In the end, I still trouble you to do these things for .”
“Lu Youxian kowtows.”
“Oh, right, on the Qiqiao Festival when we were fourteen, the kite you dropped was knocked down by , I must apologize for it.”
“We were young back then.”
“Always teasing you, yet unaware of propriety, rembering it for over thirty years.”
The woman, whose youth had long since passed, endured for a long ti, endured and endured, but finally couldn’t hold back, covering her mouth with her hand, burst into tears by the roadside.
……
After Li Guanyi had buried Lu Youxian, Heroic City in the West began to gradually return to normal. Sumr was at its peak, and every autumn, the water level of the entire Martial World’s water systems would surge, presenting an opportunity for Li Guanyi’s troops to venture down the water route.
Having already accompanied Yuan Zhi and Yan Daiqing to the Western Regions early on, the Angry Scale Dragon King Kou Yulie, who had repeatedly suffered setbacks on various battlefields, finally could make an impact. During this ti, he was using precious materials from the Western Regions to build ships.
Furthermore, they purchased ships from various rchant guilds, exhausting the resources of the entire Western Regions to begin preparing for the autumn sieges.
On the desert battlefield of the Western Regions, the naval commander, who had faced constant failures until he could barely lift his head, was ready to roll his sleeves and complete this critical strategy. He had already transmitted the ssage through the Changfeng Building to Jiangnan.
When the ti ca, with simultaneous actions up and down the waterway, they would tear apart the world’s situation.
And this critical step in the strategy had one last place remaining.
Southwest.
Li Guanyi had previously sent a reply back to the Southwest Prince, but subsequently entered a long two-month siege battle, aning this communication had been delayed for a full two months. Now that things had co to this, any further delay could lead to changes.
As for how to communicate with the Southwest, there was a difference of opinion among the generals and strategists of the Anxi Protectorate. So, like the veteran warlords from the Western Regions, such as Qibi Li and Hao Yuanxia, believed that negotiating an alliance without authority and martial strength would make them looked down upon.
“Please, my lord, wait for a few more days, while we regroup our armored soldiers. Leading ten thousand elite soldiers, we will head to the Southwest in the na of Marquis Qin Wu and the Heavenly Khan, so as to seem formal and not be underestimated.”
Yet, so opposed: “We just defeated the Great Chen, capturing territories, Chen Guo Lu Youxian took his life to serve his country, his fa echoing far and wide, now leading an army to attack and conquer lands, pressuring the Southwest border.”
“The Southwest Prince fears us, but surely also suspects whether we intend to use force directly. Wouldn’t this incite a sense of resistance in them, turning a good thing into an irreparable ss?”
The generals and strategists here argued incessantly, each having their own perspectives. At this ti, a guest who arrived at the Western Regions early but due to the chaos of war couldn’t reach the front line to et Li Guanyi, had arrived.
Wen He personally brought the guest to the Heroic City in the West.
The person, white-haired and aged, possessing Eighth Layer Heaven martial arts, counted among the best in the Martial World, wore a dark-patterned black robe, holding a scroll sealed with the dragon pattern of the Red Dragon in hand.
This was indeed a kind and gracious elder, Ji Yanzhong, who had set out from Central State months ago on Ji Zichang’s secret order, to travel to the Western Regions.
Carrying with him.
Was the Imperial Decree to ‘bestow honors’ upon Li Guanyi from the lineage of the Red Emperor!
