Capítulo 2018: Chapter 170: Seizing Command (Part 2)
He thought, who is Gu Han? Judging by the painting, it’s of a renowned artist’s level, but he couldn’t recall who this person was… Perhaps soone who never beca famous.
Of course, he didn’t miss the response from Zhongxuan Chuliang.
Zhongxuan Chuliang said, “Xiu Yuan spent the night devising a military strategy against Sumr Country. It’s a strategy that utilizes the utmost skill and can be considered top-notch.”
Jiang Wang thought to himself, it seems that the military strategy of the Prisoner Electric Army commander did not impress the Marquis of Ding Yuan.
At this mont, Zhongxuan Sheng smiled and said, “I suppose uncle’s military strategy is the simplest!”
The strategies presented to the Son of Heaven by the commanders are the empire’s highest secrets, yet Zhongxuan Sheng appeared confident and prepared.
Zhongxuan Chuliang looked at him calmly: “So tell , what is the military strategy I wrote?”
Jiang Wang was also quite curious.
“The War God uses troops with unparalleled skill, Marshal Cao’s strategies are flawless, Xiu Shuai is also a master of military skills. If uncle wants to win the commander’s position, there is no other way…”
Zhongxuan Sheng slowly sat up straighter: “It’s nothing more than making a military vow! Either May to defeat Sumr, or April to defeat Sumr. Let the Son of Heaven see that you can end this war in the shortest ti, making the state free from past burdens and future worries. This is the only chance of victory in this struggle for command, and uncle is precisely the person with the sharpest edge in Qi Country, he won’t miss this chance, nor will he shy away from such a challenge!”
Zhongxuan Chuliang laughed, and his smile was very similar to Zhongxuan Sheng’s.
The sa gentle and harmless deanor.
But he raised three fingers.
“Three months.”
He said, “The agreent I made with the Son of Heaven is to defeat Sumr in three months. If at the end of three months, Sumr Country still exists, I am willing to renounce my title and face punishnt.”
His tone was calm.
But Jiang Wang was montarily shocked beyond words!
Not to ntion the decision of a person in the highest realm of a contemporary overlord country to abandon all life’s accumulations requires imnse resolve.
Just the military vow to defeat Sumr in three months, the sharpness it embodies is truly unmatched in the world!
Sumr Country is not one of the Nine Countries of the Rising Sun, which is only nominally existent. It once spanned two southeastern regions and had the qualifications to compete for world hegemony. Though it has declined, it is still like a centipede, not dying or rotting easily.
After the Qi Xia War, they changed the year na to Divine Warrior, continuing to use it to this day, showing that their ambition has not faded, nor have they forgotten the humiliation. Over the years, they have also prepared for war, never relaxing for a single day, slowly recovering so of their forr status.
Looking around at the famous generals in the world, how many dare to claim they can defeat it in three months?
Yet Zhongxuan Chuliang dared to make such a military vow!
Zhongxuan Sheng also felt an awe. He knew his uncle’s fierce reputation was known among various countries, always sharp and aggressive, but even so, he still underestimated the sharpness of the Life-cutting Blade!
Defeating Sumr in five months and in four months is not the sa difficulty. The difficulty of defeating Sumr in four months versus three months is multiplied!
“Does uncle think…” Zhongxuan Sheng asked, “the Son of Heaven will appoint you as commander?”
Zhongxuan Chuliang laughed softly, “Who knows? The heart of heaven is unpredictable. I can only do my utmost and then await the Son of Heaven’s choice!”
The more one understands Qi Country, the closer one gets to these top figures in the world, the more one can comprehend the majesty of Emperor Qi.
Those called Great Qi’s God of War, like Jiang ngxiong who is unrivaled in combat and command; the fad “Best Fighter in the World” Cao Jie; known as the “murderer,” the unmatched sharpness in military force of Zhongxuan Chuliang; and even Xiu Yuan, the master of military skills “A true man will always travel far”…
These many brilliant figures.
All must await the decision of Emperor Qi, all must submit to the will of Emperor Qi.
The three-hundred-mile giant city of Linzi, the tens of thousands of miles of Eastern Region territory, even the Near Sea Archipelago, the Lost World, the gate of all demons, and the entire world!
The will of Son of Heaven Jiang Shu stands as the highest in the mundane world.
With a word, mountains collapse, with a word, rivers tilt, with a word, countries perish.
The Eight Wastelands and Six Harmonies, the four corners of the universe.
With a raised hand, the heavens widen, with a covered hand, winds and thunder rage.
Even a pinnacle figure like Zhongxuan Chuliang can only say, the heart of heaven is unpredictable!
And Jiang Wang, who has had several audiences with the Son of Heaven, how could he not be deeply impressed?
At this mont in the study of the Marquis of Ding Yuan, the three seated there were silent, feeling that high and unfathomable majesty in a tacit understanding.
“Speaking of which…” Zhongxuan Sheng suddenly said, “The last battle with Yang Country seems like it was just yesterday, ti has flown by.”
Jiang Wang understood why Zhongxuan Sheng had such a sentint.
The battle of the destruction of Yang in Dao Calendar 3918 was exactly the turning point for Zhongxuan Sheng competing for the position of Family Head of the Zhong Xuan Family.
From being a hopeful yet lazy young master to standing shoulder to shoulder with Zhongxuan Zun in competition for the Family Head position, Zhongxuan Sheng achieved it with just one war.
After that, he generously donated the Qiushan Bow to Li Longchuan, sought a word from the Donghua Scholar, audiences with the Son of Heaven, and with one phrase “respect and love for his brother,” sent Zhongxuan Zun into the Under Jixuegong, subsequently almost clearing Zhongxuan Zun’s influence in the struggle with Wang Yiwu… All these were earned in the Battle of Qi Yang.
In that battle, he and Jiang Wang fought side by side, killing the Sunshine County prefect Song Guang of Yang Country, driving away local troops, leading the Autumn Kill Army into Red Tail, with no worries behind.
Then in the Red Tail battle, they led the charge, joined forces to decapitate commanders and seize flags, giving the old general Ji Cheng a tragic end.
One incident after another, thinking back now, it seems as if it all happened just yesterday.
And in this Qi Xia War, Zhongxuan Zun has already been confird to participate.
In the past ti, Zhongxuan Sheng demonstrated his exceptional intelligence through a series of arrangents. anwhile, Zhongxuan Zun demonstrated his superior force through Masterly Ceremonies, Yellow River Gatherings, and the Lost World.
anwhile, Zhongxuan Sheng himself is also a talented Transcendent Cultivator, and Zhongxuan Zun also possesses extraordinary intelligence.
The dilemma of the Marquis of Bowang, on a certain level, is also the stalemate between the two of their talents.
Given the situation of the world today, it’s difficult to find another opportunity like this Qi Xia War, neither moving forward nor backward.
At least during the lifeti of the old Marquis Zhongxuan Yunbo, perhaps there won’t be another.
Considering the importance of this war against Sumr, it will surely significantly impact the whole Qi Country, and of course, it also concerns all the individuals, big and small, in the country… In other words, the final decisive move in the struggle for the Zhong Xuan Family’s Head might very well occur within this war.
Sons of the military clan, in the end, must prove themselves with achievents on the battlefield.
That’s why soone like Zhongxuan Sheng, who rarely shows emotion, would sigh like this!
The position of Zhong Xuan Family Head holds extraordinary significance for Zhongxuan Sheng.
From soone long neglected, supposedly a family sinner, living a life of understanding people’s intentions and being cautious, he grasped a chance that wasn’t even a chance, and sat at the sa chessboard as the born-to-be-favored Zhongxuan Zun.
Fighting for every piece, competing for every breath.
From the Heavenly Abode Secret Land to the Qi Yang Battle, then to the Jubao Business Association, then to Wang Yiwu… Each step was taken with great hardship!
After all, Zhongxuan Zun was soone looked upon favorably by the Taixu Sect’s grandmaster since childhood.
The Big Dipper who is the first in the world in reckoning power, just took one look at him and claid he had taken all the splendor of his generation.
A sea outing t the True Monarch Xuehe who wanted to take him as an apprentice.
Such a person is truly a protagonist of destiny in stories. It’s challenging for anyone confronting him to claim victory.
Yet Zhongxuan Sheng managed to claw back from a complete disadvantage, once suppressing Zhongxuan Zun on the surface!
Even now when Zhongxuan Zun has launched a full counterattack, the ground can still be considered even.
But when the few elders in the Zhong Xuan Family originally intended to admonish Zhongxuan Zun and gave Zhongxuan Sheng a chance, who could have thought that he could achieve so much?
Zhongxuan Sheng didn’t know why he had endured so much coldness since he was young; he didn’t understand why he, despite being a direct lineage son of the Zhongxuan family, couldn’t earn anyone’s respect. He didn’t understand why his father, though a True Man of the Age and a person of utmost elegance, beca a taboo even in na after death.
If possible, he never wanted to appear as a clever person from a young age.
With the talent he reveals now, even if he were separated from the Zhong Xuan Family, he could achieve greatness in the future. But he needs the position of Family Head to prove the silent effort he has put in over the years!
If soone deliberately trips him, he would just lay down, wait for the person to leave, and then get back up.
He never wanted to question why.
But he wanted people to know–
It cannot be this way.
