Chapter 369: The world will eventually be settled by war (asking for monthly votes)
The Golden Tiger King Seal.

The Western Regions were unified for three hundred years. Since the beginning of written records, there has been the legend of the first great hero, the King of Tuyuhun. In this land that has been in chaos since ancient times, the golden royal seal represents absolute orthodoxy and absolute hegemony.

The generals, especially Li Kedi, Qibili, and Hao Yuanxia who were born in the Western Regions, all had slightly changed expressions. An absurd, yet extremely tempting idea appeared in their minds -

Borrow troops, yes, Li Guanyi’s idea is to borrow troops.

In the great struggle for power in the Western Regions, no matter what, for the people of the Western Regions, the Wolf King is an absolute enemy. Li Guanyi and the Khans of various tribes have the same interests on this point.

Since the Wolf King has tried his best, all the power on this land will gather together to fight the Wolf King.

Although they understood Li Guanyi's idea, these generals who were born in the Western Regions still had an idea in their minds: since a hegemon must appear again on this land.

Since all the tribes in the Western Regions will eventually gather together again and submit under the same banner.

Then why can’t it be the lord?

Above the Western Regions, the king of kings, the Khan of Khans!

Why can't I be the lord?
When this thought came to mind, it was like a huge fire exploding, burning the heart. Compared with the generals in the Central Plains, the generals in the Western Regions were even more passionate, and the ambitions in their hearts were as bright as their loyalty.

After submitting to the lord, one will show utmost respect to the lord.

Li Guanyi said to Pojun: "We also have the title of orthodoxy. Sir, please write the dossier for me. We will negotiate with the tribes in the Western Regions, explain the interests, and form an alliance to deal with the power of the Wolf King."

Po Jun nodded and continued:

"The kings of the Western Regions were all the great leaders of their respective tribes who proclaimed themselves kings within a year. They were originally ministers of Tuyuhun and Dangxiang. When the world changed drastically and their rulers were in danger, they did not think about serving their country, but immediately rebelled and proclaimed themselves kings."

"From this point of view, they are probably ambitious and do not follow the rules."

"It may not be that easy to agree..."

Li Guanyi also had such a premonition, but he also replied:
“Always try.”

"Unite all the forces that can be united."

Po Jun bowed and responded.

Li Guanyi's troops determined the strategic direction, and while dealing with the alliance between Chen and Ying, they began to try to contact the countries in the Western Regions to jointly build an alliance to deal with the terrifying trend of the Wolf King.

But as we worried before, not everything goes so smoothly.

Li Guanyi's troops, including Nangong Wumeng, were wandering outside.

Accidentally discovered scouts of the Western Region Army.

He also picked up a camel caravan that had fallen when some traveling merchants from somewhere were trying to avoid the sandstorm. The caravan contained gold and silver items worth more than one thousand taels.

If no one claims the money after seven days of public display, it will be put into the treasury to be distributed to the people.

Yan Daiqing was amazed.

Yan Daiqing pondered and tried to get Nangong Wumeng to be in charge of logistics.

Nangong Wumeng went there happily, but Tianxia Juese, who came from a martial arts sect and was not very fond of divination, became a little dull when he saw the densely packed files, the abacus, and the countless files.

Then, amidst the rustling sound, a pale-faced, smiling, dark-circled-eye, increasingly gentle and jade-like gentleman from the south of the Yangtze River "grew" out from the file.

Yan Daiqing was surrounded by countless files, children, and financial vacancies, and smiled gently: "You are here?"

"Come, come, sit down..."

"do not mention it."

"From now on, this dossier room will be your home."

Nangong Wumeng was shocked and declined politely.

When I asked her the reason, she grumbled for a long time and just said, "It will make my face pale, which doesn't look good... If I get mad at that person again, ahem, I mean, sometimes, just, sometimes, I will blush, wouldn't it be more obvious?"

He didn't mention who it was or what it was. When he simply mentioned this matter, the face of the first scout general of the Qilin Army turned red, almost emitting white smoke in the winter. He waved his hands repeatedly and stammered:

"No, no, I'm not talking about Li Guanyi."

"Oh, no, I mean..."

"No, no, no."

“And your hair will fall out.”

"My face is pale, my hair is falling out, and I have dark circles under my eyes. It doesn't look good."

Yan Daiqing was like a bolt from the blue.

After Mr. Wenhe heard about this, he immediately abandoned the envoys from the States of Chen and Ying. At that time, Mr. Wenhe was even in another city within Anxi, holding the reins with one hand, and driving at speed for 170 miles to come and laugh.

This act was seen by the little girl Saatanti.

Mr. Yan Daiqing, who often sat in the room all day without moving, became angry and personally chased Mr. Wen He to beat him up. It would be better to say that during this period of time, Mr. Yan Daiqing's biggest physical activity every day was to get angry at Mr. Wen He.

This is actually a form of exercise.

Otherwise, it would be worrying if Mr. Yan Daiqing just sat there all day without moving.

Saatanti thought about it, and then he was slightly stunned, thinking, could it be that Mr. Wenhe was doing this? At this time, he saw that Mr. Wenhe was finally hit by Mr. Yan Daiqing's powerful bamboo slips, and then he was caught.

Park So Mun Hak's adviser put his finger to his lips and hushed them slightly.

Saatanti nodded.

I thought that Mr. Wen He must have done this for Mr. Yan Daiqing.

It can't be for fun.

Certainly not!

Mr. Wenhe is such a nice and amiable person.

During her girlhood, she lived with these people who played an important role in the turbulent world. Mr. Yan Daiqing taught her numerology, General Fan Qing told her about human nature, and Mr. Wen He told her to live a good life.

That was a long, long time ago. The girl already had a head full of white hair. Whenever others mentioned those familiar names, she spoke with respect, yet with a distance as great as a statue.

Without the name, it would have almost become someone else.

She suddenly felt dazed. She didn't want these people who were so brilliant and amazing in her girlhood and life to be deconstructed into cold labels in the end.

So she, who was already in her seventies at that time, collected and recorded these things, extracted them from her memory, turned them into text, and wrote "Biographies of Famous Scholars". The biography reads: "Even if it is a small matter, there must be an objective person who does not record major events, but only observes human feelings."

The chapter "Grace" in Volume 6 records the deliberate joking behavior of a contemporary famous official. He is a gentle gentleman, but also a vicious scholar of all ages who was beaten with his fists. It is an article that is talked about with relish by later generations.

Those who once roamed the world are not just a few magnificent characters in the history books, but have become as vivid as human beings.

When Wen He heard this, he abandoned the envoy.

He came in a bullock cart and mocked and joked in front of Daiqing's gate.

Dai Qing angrily threw bamboo slips at him and beat him.

Then he grabbed her collar and asked, "Do you know your mistakes and want to correct them?"

Answer: Knowing the mistake but not correcting it.

Dai Qing laughed three times and said:

"It's his mother's fault!"

He beat him again with his old fists.

Three punches in total.

…………

Li Guanyi and Pojun had no idea that Mr. Wenhe was happily having fun while letting Yan Daiqing exercise every day. The scout who was captured by Nangong Wumeng after he got lost was originally very stubborn.

Even Lei Laomeng and Shi Dalin were unable to pry open his mouth.

But when the door opened and he saw Li Guanyi, who was wearing scale armor inside and a white battle robe outside, walking towards him, he was shocked all over and his face turned pale all of a sudden, as if he had lost his parents. He was restless and felt as if his butt was on fire.

Li Guanyi sat in the chair opposite him.

The scout, whose wrists and ankles were locked, stood up.

The steel chain shook and collided, making a sound. Li Guanyi raised his eyebrows with a panicked look on his face and said, "Sit down."

The scout opened his mouth but didn't dare to do anything. He just half-knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Bahar, I greet General Shenweitian."

Li Guanyi: "Do you know me?"

The rough-looking man blushed a little and said, "A few months ago, I followed the general to fight against the Central Plains army and trapped the Duke of Ying. You personally charged into the battle several times and we were all convinced by you."

"I thought you would kill me, but I didn't expect you to release me. I..."

He seemed to be extremely ashamed, as he had seen with his own eyes how Li Guanyi killed Helian Jieshan, and after being defeated, he released the captives. But for some reason he stepped onto the battlefield again, and now that he saw Li Guanyi again, he had an instinctive sense of shame amidst his fear.

He has been very careful.

He dressed up as a very poor sand bandit, but was still very brave. Although he had to go out, he also had the thought of committing suicide if he was caught by General Shenwei Tian.

Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw a lost guy walking towards me leisurely. Then, the guy seemed to have seen something and seemed to have taken me as his target.

There was no problem in pretending to be a sand bandit.

These sand bandits are like hyenas in the desert, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. All major forces hate them but are too lazy to deal with these uncultured wandering warriors.

But who knew, who knew that Anxi City actually had a habit of robbing sand bandits?
Damn, what the hell is this?
The woman was a master of martial arts, no worse than the generals of many tribes. She also had a strange-looking ruler, black and white, which she threw into the sky. Somehow, the fearless Western scout, who was about to fight, felt his stomach go soft.

There was a gurgling sound, almost like diarrhea.

Even the bravest soldiers became numb in an instant.

Half of his fighting capacity was lost on the spot and he was captured alive. However, he became better after being captured and was happily captured by Nangong Wumeng. After he came back, he was found to be a scout and handed over to Shi Dalin.

After Li Guanyi arrived, the scout, who had been tough-talking and stubborn before, immediately softened and told everything honestly.

Among an army of one hundred thousand, he broke through the battle formation and killed the generals.

For the tribes in the Western Regions who value bravery in their bones and respect plunder in their culture, it has great prestige. Bahar told everything, and Li Guanyi and Pojun's expressions froze slightly.

The various tribes in the Western Regions have already sent out their troops, which can be called a large army.

After the coalition forces that had previously attacked the Wolf King were swept away by the Wolf King's leverage, the tribes in the Western Regions were shocked and angry. However, some ambitious people began to rise up and chose the same strategy as Li Guanyi, who took advantage of the Wolf King's power and achieved his own fame.

Helian Jieshan's brother, Helian Bo, the lord of Tongwan City, and the Shatuo King.

Taking advantage of the anger of the Western Regions towards the Wolf King, their murderous intent and hostility towards the traitors, and guiding public opinion, he gathered the Khans of various tribes together, saying that he wanted to establish a great cause like the one the Tuyuhun King had done in the past.

So he integrated the army, reorganized his strength, and formed an alliance with the kings and khans. He wanted to establish a royal court and an alliance. He ordered the army to march ahead. However, their target was not the Wolf King's troops, nor the positions of khans and princes conferred by the Wolf King.

But it was Li Guanyi's unit.

A large army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers was approaching Li Guanyi's Anxi City in a mighty manner.

Bahar looked ashamed. Li Guanyi raised his eyes slightly, thinking, and said, "You lead hundreds of thousands of people, have a grudge against the Wolf King, but you come to attack me? I see..."

The geomancy map of the Western Regions is in my mind, especially clear.

The Wolf King's army is at its peak, and the alliance between Chen and Ying is disloyal.

At the rear was the super fortress built by Lu Youxian himself using stacked armor.

Talents emerge in every generation, and a fortress of this level is almost no worse than the old Siming's means. At this critical moment, the many Khans of the Western Regions gathered deeper into the Western Regions, formed an alliance, and sent troops to Anxi City. Po Jun said: "There are also capable and smart people in the Western Regions..."

"They used the Wolf King's reputation to oppress and gather the people of the Western Regions, but they did not really attack the Wolf King. Instead, they intimidated us, their lord."

Li Guanyi replied: "Yes."

"Thinking about it this way, their goal is probably to hope that there will be no winner in the Central Plains here. We can't have that. It would be best if the Wolf King eventually collapses and becomes a dozen different armies, while the Western Region becomes like before, in an extremely chaotic state."

Po Jun said: "Yes, my lord, only in this way can the royal court in the Western Regions re-establish its own dignity by defeating these rebellious armies and unify the Western Regions..."

"My lord, there are also heroes in the Western Regions."

Li Guanyi: "So, they joined the game and chose us."

Batur's expression froze, and a great fear appeared in his heart. He looked up stiffly and saw the young general and the counselor. The news that was considered extremely secret in the entire Western Region royal court was discovered by these two people in just a few words.

It was much clearer and more straightforward than what he had overheard. He didn't want to believe what these two people said, but it was so credible.

But, but——

The mighty general Tianger is promoted by the kings of the Western Regions.

He is just a man of courage but no strategy.

Po Jun said, "What a pity, what a pity! My Lord, you still want to form an alliance with them and borrow troops... It seems that borrowing troops may not be successful. The other side firmly regards us as a stepping stone and the easiest piece of fat meat to bite."

The Western Regions also sent out a mighty army this time. Batur replied in a muffled voice: "The tribesmen of each tribe do not want to go to war with General Shenwei Tian. It was only the decision made by the kings and King Shatuo of Tongwan City."

"The army is behind us."

"The khans of all tribes have gathered at the foot of Mount Juxu. They are going to renew their oaths, establish a royal court, enfeoff the tribes, prime ministers, and nobles, select the true khans, and imitate the Tuyuhun king in the past, and melt the seals of all tribes into a golden man for offering sacrifices to the sky."

Li Guanyi and Pojun learned the intelligence here, and then sent Nangong Wumeng and Changsun Wuchou to explore the front from different lines of defense. As expected, they found signs of the army's movement, which was the Western Region Coalition Forces.

Upon hearing the news, all the generals fell silent. This time, they truly felt the turbulent situation and the surging waves. Each side made its own decision and adopted its own strategy.

But Fan Qing came in and brought two pieces of letter.

One of the letters came from Li Zhaowen.

In the letter Li Zhaowen wrote to Li Guanyi, he said that he had become the vanguard general under the command of the fifth divine general He Ruoqinhu, and that they would jointly attack the Wolf King one day and they could fight side by side on the battlefield as comrades.

The other one is from the Wolf King.

Li Guanyi took it in his hand and looked at Li Zhaowen's free and easy composure.

Then he unfolded the letter from the Wolf King. The letter was delivered by a Canglang Guard cavalryman. After delivering it, he surrendered immediately. Li Guanyi was so angry at the old Wolf King's cunning and slippery tactics that he felt a pain in his liver.

In terms of tactics on the battlefield, determination in martial arts, and physical strength, the old wolf is gradually unable to suppress the young and brave Qilin. However, when it comes to guessing people's minds and their cunning and tactics, Li Guanyi, like his father Li Wanli, is troubled by the Wolf King.

The Canglang Guard heavy cavalry are all ace troops. Even the horses of this kind of troops have to eat meat. Yan Daiqing's already heavy workload was further increased.

Li Guanyi opened the letter from the Wolf King and was slightly startled. There were two letters inside.

One of the letters was written in Western language.

Li Guanyi possessed the magical power of Yaoguang, so he recognized the content.

"Alliance Files..."

"Tongwan City, Helian Bo."

This is clearly a Western Region warlord who wants to use the power of the Wolf King to reorganize the royal court. However, among the various tribes in the Western Region, he claims that he wants to suppress the rebellion and kill the Wolf King, but secretly wants to join forces with the Wolf King and send troops to Anxi City.

Li Guanyi saw the contents of the letter from the Wolf King.

"My dear nephew, the situation in the Western Region is turbulent. What are you going to do?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Li Guanyi said: "Wolf King, what a hero."

He showed the two letters to the generals and said, "The situation in the Western Region has come to this point. We have joined forces with Chen and Ying, but the Wolf King has managed to form an alliance with the Western Region, which is theoretically impossible to join forces with."

“It can be seen that although the reason is different, the general trend is the same.”

The overall situation of the entire Western Region has almost turned into a sense of criss-crossing.

Qibili was filled with regret: "Is the Wolf King trying to warn us by doing this?"

Li Guanyi thought for a long time and said, "I don't know either. If they didn't deliberately tell me the news of their alliance, then they were putting pressure on me. They wanted to accumulate pressure little by little on the general trend and put pressure on me little by little."

"Many generals are fine when it comes to debate, but when they are under too much pressure, it affects their judgment and performance."

"Otherwise, I don't understand why the Wolf King would write to tell me about their alliance..."

Li Guanyi was also puzzled. It couldn't be that the Wolf King was deliberately letting him win.

"But it doesn't matter. We already knew that Nangong Wumeng had obtained such information. We didn't need the Wolf King's letter to understand that General Nangong Wumeng is indeed our lucky star and a great blessing to our Qilin Army!"

"Everyone, congratulations to General Nangong!"

Nangong Wumeng faced everyone's gaze without changing his expression.

Li Guanyi noticed that this guy's eyes were empty. There was no doubt that she was relying on absent-mindedness to maintain her calm demeanor. Li Guanyi couldn't help laughing. She was worthy of her name.

He didn't point it out to this guy, but just said: "I can see the possibility of borrowing troops and relying on the alliance to seek to defeat the Wolf King. With a top general like the Wolf King, he will definitely see the path we will choose."

Back and forth, attack and defense, this is the battle between famous generals.

Fan Qing said in silence: "The rest of the tribes and Khans in the Western Regions were swept up by Helian Bo, and they wanted to form an alliance with the royal court. The Wolf King and Helian Bo secretly joined forces, and these Western Regions troops targeted our Anxi City."

"The Wolf King's army is in front, and Lu Youxian is defending behind."

"Chen State and Ying State each have their own plans."

"Has the overall situation in the Western Region also come to a standstill?"

Because of a series of major strategies, Fan Qing, a general who had been in Tiance Mansion from the beginning, changed his style and chose to adopt the style of a military strategist. With the help of evil spirit, his skills have been improved.

I originally thought that the first level of the fourth heaven was the limit of my life.

However, at this moment, Fan Qing's power progress was extremely rapid, and he had already reached the late fourth level. After experiencing the battle of Yemen Pass and several battles afterwards, this great general broke through his own limits again.

He led the army and reached a nearly miraculous number of 7,000.

Anyone who has such command ability is not far from the list of famous generals.

But Fan Qing knew very well that this was his limit.

He is very content.

Li Guanyi raised his eyes slightly and replied to Fan Qing:

"Of course not. When I said I wanted to borrow troops, I had to talk to them properly, express my determination, and negotiate. This was a literary loan. But now that they are planning to fight for the world with force, I have my own path."

"Wu Jie!"

"After defeating the Western Region, we will fight the Wolf King."

Everybody was astonished. All the generals and counselors knew that the situation was unpredictable and turbulent at the moment. The Wolf King had a million-strong army in front of him, and envoys from the States of Chen and Ying were at his side. Across the desert, the coalition forces were approaching the rear of Anxi City, and a great battle would break out soon.

At this moment, it is impossible to mobilize a large army. If the army moves out, the logistical troops will also need to follow, which will involve a huge mobilization of personnel, which can be seen with the naked eye.

How can I borrow it?
Li Guanyi looked at the Western Regions geomancy map and said:
"Qibili, the Left Guard Cavalry General."

This was no longer just idle chat. Qibili looked stern, stood up, and with the sound of armor colliding, he clasped his hands and said, "Yes!"

Li Guanyi said: "All 3,000 Golden Scimitar Cavalry will be dispatched."

"Yes!"

"Right Guard General Ling Pingyang."

Ling Pingyang, who had rushed here, stood up and said solemnly, "I am here."

Li Guanyi said: "Select 3,000 Beiwei cavalry and transfer them from the army."

Ling Pingyang said: "Yes!"

Li Guanyi said: "Master Archer General Wang Shunchen."

Wang Shunchen stood up, bowed and said, "I will be here!"

Li Guanyi said: "The Archer General selects one thousand cavalry archers from the Hundred Guards Formation."

"promise!"

"Fan Qing..."

As the voices fell, the whole room was filled with a sinister and murderous aura. Li Guanyi held the golden tiger seal, his eyes drooped peacefully, and said gently, "Mr. Pojun, Mr. Wenhe."

"After I leave, this city will be handed over to the two of you to maintain the situation."

Po Jun stood up: "Yes!"

Wen He restrained his expression and said, "Yes!"

Counsellors and generals can come up with strategies one by one, but the real leader is the one who makes the decision.

Heroic spirit, courage, and the ruler of troubled times never need to be good, but rather——

The best.

Li Guanyi swept his sleeves, and the geomancy map of the entire Western Regions that he had found from the secret collection of the Dangxiang Kingdom unfolded. Li Guanyi's vision was vast, crossing layers of regions and falling on the distant holy mountain [Juxu Mountain], touching the golden royal seal.

"Since you are going to rebuild the royal court and enfeoff the kings, how can you do without me?"

"Hundreds of thousands of troops have arrived at the core edge of this battlefield..."

"The situation in the Western Region is at a stalemate."

"I will lead 7,000 cavalrymen, abandon the baggage, use this map to read the geomancy, bypass the Western Region coalition forces, ride lightly and go directly to Juxu Mountain, raise the troops, and explain our strategy to the Western Region kings and princes."

"They all have their strategies, and we have ours."

"Then, let's kill each other!"

The faces of the generals in Anxi City changed, and their hearts were in turmoil. Li Guanyi looked at these generals and counselors and said softly: "Situation? Stalemate? It doesn't exist. If the situation is deadlocked and the chaos is entangled, it must be cut off with one sword!"

“Do we still have to compromise with these situations?”

"If we can't even break through the Western Regions, how can we pacify the chaotic world?"

"If you want to gain justice for your country, you must be upright and defeat everything head-on. You cannot leave any room for luck, and you cannot compromise. Only sword and fire can usher in a peaceful and prosperous era."

"When the world is at peace, I hope to drink and enjoy the flowers with you all. I'll have to trouble you all to come here."

Li Guanyi bowed, his voice calm, the sleeves of his battle robe hanging down, looking around with disdain:

"You all face north, while I alone face west."

'Follow me here, and I will show you the world I see! '

Li Guan raised his head and said:

"The world is at a standoff."

"Let me tear it apart myself!"
