ds and not have all her weight on her wrists like she was now.But I don't know what consequences would result from destroying the stone wall.He yearned to cleave the shackles with a single stroke and...Few people know that thirty years ago, Yang Jiande and Chongxuan Zhu Liang once fought side by side.

That battle that swept across the entire Eastern Region, affecting the whole world, was the decisive battle that determined the winner of the Qi Xia Hegemony Struggle.

At that time, Yang Jiande and Chongxuan Chu Liang each led an army to guard Xiayue Valley, joining hands to withstand thirteen waves of attacks from the Xia army and firmly guarding their position.

At that time, both Qi and Xia had assembled a million soldiers. The battle was raging, the front lines entangled for hundreds of miles. This was a protracted war, and before the end of the battle, no one could predict the outcome.

But at this time, Yang Jiande and Chong Xuan Zhu Liang had a disagreement. Yang Jiande believed that their forces were already exhausted and should withdraw to rest and regroup for a future victory. They had defended Xiameng Valley, which was a great achievement. If they lost Xiameng Valley, it would be considered a failure regardless of the previous victory.

However, Chong Xuan and Zhu Liang insisted on launching a counteroffensive.

Finally, Yang Jiande chose to withdraw his troops and rotate them. However, Chong Xuan's courage was extraordinary. Even though the reinforcements hadn't arrived at the rear, he defied orders, abandoned Xiayue Valley, and led his entire army to launch a surprise attack. He once again defeated Xia Guo's retreating forces, chased them relentlessly, broke through three lines of defense in one fell swoop, and successfully infiltrated Xia Guo's rear!

And then there were acts of killing and destruction, cutting off supplies and seizing land, a series of deeds that forced him to remove the title "The Butcher."

More than thirty years have passed. Yang Jiande, who once changed his appearance, is now the ruler of a country.

And that fat man, who was usually kind and gentle, but went crazy on the battlefield, became a general that no one in the entire Qi state army could ignore.

Yang Jiande invited him with an imperial decree, wanting to test if Chong Xuan Chu Liang, his comrade-in-arms from back then, still possessed that same courage to journey thousands of miles alone.

"To surrender How could this be" Inside the military tent, Chongxuan Chulian held the letter of surrender with a look of astonishment.

The envoy from the Kingdom of Yang stood before him, his face contorted with anger and humiliation. "Why do you ask this knowing full well" he spat out, his voice choked with resentment.

His humiliation was so great, he almost shed tears. But he refused to appear weak in front of the people of Qi, so he forced back his tears and said, "Four generations of alliance between Qiyang! If Qi attacks, Yang will not hesitate to follow. If Qi has any trouble, Yang will not hesitate to help! I ask you, great general, what crime has my country of Yang committed to deserve this military disaster!"

All the generals and soldiers in the tent were silent.

Zhong Xuan and Chu Liang were astonished for a long time. With a sigh, Zhong Xuan said: "Prince Yang misunderstands me deeply! He also misunderstands Da Qi deeply!"

“The plague that has struck Yang Guo this time is unlike any other, capable of harming even those beyond the ordinary. If left unchecked, it could lead to unimaginable horrors! As a major power in the Eastern Region, Da Qi is duty-bound to maintain order and ensure the safety of the entire region. We will not hesitate to shoulder this responsibility!”

"I have come leading my army by order, only to help the Yang nation contain the spread of the plague. I ask you, envoy, if our army had not arrived, could the Yang nation have sealed its borders Do they possess such determination, such courage, such capability"

"You may report to Duke Yang that, in official matters, Yang State belongs to Qi State. In personal terms, we are comrades-in-arms. Please rest assured, Duke Yang, I have stationed Xuan Chu and Liang Chen's troops at the border only to prevent disaster; they will not set foot on Yang State's soil!"

To be sent to deliver a surrender document at this time, this Yang Guo emissary must not only be loyal but also certainly not foolish.

Hearing Chong Xuan Chu Liang's reply, he was indeed relieved, but this relief only lasted until he fell into the abyss...

In fact, the deceased Prince Yang Xuan of Yang, was not an ordinary man. At least one thing he said was right. Yang State had always been a vassal state of Qi State and had always been obedient, never breaking its treaty. When Qi State wanted to annex Yang State, it should have considered public opinion throughout the world.

Especially when today's world is not dominated solely by the State of Qi, if Qi only focuses its attention on the eastern region, then its vision is truly too narrow.

Mere military strength is not enough to compel the world's obedience.

Yang Xuanji reasoned that Qi State's psychological expectation should only be for a few cities. Taking advantage of the opportunity to contain the plague, he could use the pretext of saving people to actually occupy those territories without facing public condemnation.

Many ministers in the Yang Kingdom also held the same view.

On the other hand, some people led by Yang Jiande believed that Qi was at its zenith and should unite the eastern territories into a single Eastern nation before turning west to conquer the world. Under such grand ambitions, they considered petty disputes insignificant and unworthy of their attention.

This envoy from the Yang Kingdom who submitted his resignation also held the view of the late generation until now, when he realized that he was wrong. He learned that Chong Xuan and Liang, or rather Qi State, cared very much about public opinion in the world.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

However, this kind of "attention" is perhaps more frightening than indifference.

Because of this "caring," the result is what Chong Xuan Zhu Liang is currently doing.

He had already made up his mind to besiege the Yang Kingdom, cutting it off from the outside world.

In normal times, Yang Guo could completely isolate itself and endure for three to five years without any problems. However, what time is it now The plague has mutated and is raging. Now is the time when we need to concentrate our efforts to fight the plague, and when we need help from the outside world.

But with the Qi army's large forces encircling the borders, can Yang Guo still concentrate his strength to deal with the plague

The actions of Chong Xuan Chu Liang are tantamount to forcing all people from Yang Guo...to be driven to death within their own borders!

This is the murderer!

Of course, he wouldn't set foot on the land of Yang, because he didn't need to tread upon its soil. He didn't need to do it himself; the plague would kill all the people of Yang for him.

>

And the state of Qi did not even have to bear the shame, because they had indeed checked a terrible plague that could have swept through the East and even the entire world.

He just needs to receive land from the Yang Kingdom after the event.

Looking at the rather plump elderly man before him, who seemed very gentle, the Yang Guo emissary felt as if he were looking at a devil.

Even as he left the military tent and stepped into the scorching sunlight, he still felt like he was in an ice cave, his body and mind numb with a piercing chill.

The Yang Kingdom's envoy arrived, filled with humiliation, presenting the surrender document. He then left, stumbling and utterly despairing.

Within the military tent, a general couldn't help but speak up: "Commander, since Lord Yang knows when to yield, why not go with the flow To subdue an enemy without fighting is the highest level of military strategy, and it also demonstrates your great reputation. If you can achieve victory without war, why engage in battle Remember, land is not the only resource; people are too. With the cooperation of Yang Ting, we can more smoothly integrate the entire territory of Yang Guo. Scattering the people of Yang Guo and relocating them across various regions, within three generations, they will become our Qi people."

Zheng Xuanzhu Liang slowly glanced at him and asked in a low voice, "General Tian, how many benefits did Yang Jiande offer you"

The general's face instantly paled, beads of cold sweat drenched his forehead, and even his voice trembled as he said, "My loyalty is unwavering. How could I possibly collude with the traitor Yang Everything I think and do is for the benefit of Great Qi and General!"

Zhong Xuanchu Liang turned his gaze to the other generals: "What about you Do you also think so"

All the generals looked at their own noses, not daring to even glance at each other. Let alone speak.

Zhong Xuan and Zhu Liangjing waited for a while before smiling: “The Daze Tian clan is indeed powerful. So many people agree with this general's decision, yet you, surname Tian, have objections. Hmm, interesting.”

The general surnamed Tian, disregarding everything else, fell to his knees with a thud, pressing his forehead against the ground: "My humble self would never dare! I am truly foolish and short-sighted, careless in my thoughts and clumsy with words! But my heart is as clear as the sun and moon, I have absolutely no disrespect towards the great commander!"
