Chapter 174: Tail of Crimson Flame >
Jiang Wang didn't have the nerve to call out "Xiao Xin." He went straight to the point: "I'm here because I have some things to do. Chong Xuan Sheng should have told you"“I’ve said it before, and I’l...Speaking of which, the Yang family ancestral temple has enjoyed sacrifices for dozens of generations and even once established a national protective array.
A large formation that can cover the entire country would require an immeasurable amount of resources. It's not something a weak nation could afford, at least not unless their ancestors were incredibly wealthy.
However, the protective formation of the Yang Kingdom was broken several times during that period when it stirred in the Eastern Region.
This also shows the tenacity of the Yang dynasty's rule. The national defense array was broken several times, but it was repaired each time as good as new.
However, after Qi established its current territory and Yang was located at the side of its bed, the situation for the Yang family became even more awkward.
Later, when the state of Yang came under the control of the state of Qi, any new ruler had to be given legitimacy by the emperor of Qi before ascending to the throne.
This so-called "national defense perimeter," who is it meant to protect against Could the state of Qi possibly allow such a threat to lurk under its very nose
All these things troubled the people of Yang Guo greatly.
This matter was subsequently resolved.
A minister of great discernment in Yangting suggested: Since Qiyang is originally one entity, why not connect the protective grand formation of Yang Nation with that of Qi Nation as well
Thus, sharing joys and sorrows, enjoying weal and woe together, is not this the way to lasting peace and stability
The specific process is now unknown, but the decision was subsequently passed smoothly.
This is also the reason why Chong Xuan, Zhu Liang, can easily trap Yang Guo now, and even don't need to break through the "National Defense Formation" at all. They can directly lead their troops to Chiwei County.

Even though the Yang nation was weak, they would never allow Qi to completely control their national protective formation. But after the two formations were connected, Qi easily managed to temporarily halt the operation of Yang's national protective formation.
That is to say, the massive national protective formation, Guójìng, which cost Yángguó vast resources, has long been a mere formality for Qíguó.
It is worth mentioning that the official who had once suggested that the State of Yang should merge with the State of Qi to share power and prosperity, now lives with his family in Qi and has secured a good position there.
"The Chiwei County has a long and narrow terrain. In fact, the name was chosen because of its fiery tail-like shape."
"And now, here we welcome the twilight of the Yang dynasty. Is this not the will of Heaven"
The warhorses of the Qiushsha Army were all mixed with demon beast bloodlines, so even though Chong Xuan's mount was incredibly heavy, its hooves remained light and nimble.
After (ri)'s keywords were lifted from the seal, Chong Xuan and Zhu Liang immediately dispatched a large army. Jiang Wang and Chong Xuan Sheng came to join them in the military camp.
>Then, Xiang went back to Qingyang Town alone.
As for him, he had no interest in the honors and wealth that Qi State could offer. Instead, he felt a sense of duty to protect Qingyang Town.
Accompanying Jiang Wang in his exploration of the Zhaozhi County government was both out of support for Jiang Wang and a disgust for Song Guang's chaos among the people. Even though Qingyang Town had established systems, it still needed a strong figure like him to quell any unforeseen incidents.
The greatest military achievement.
Zhong Xuan, Sheng personally entered Zhaozhi County to discuss matters with the county magistrate. During the meeting, he killed Song Guang, the county magistrate of Zhaozhi, and then went straight into the military camp, scattering the 70,000 soldiers of Zhaozhi County on the spot.
Such achievements immediately gave him enough weight to speak in the Qiu Sha Army.
Jiang Wang was arranged to join the army as a staff officer, and no one dared to say anything.
At this time, he was full of vigor and the crowd around him readily agreed with him.
Zhong Xuan and Zhu Liang were also riding horses, pushing forward with the vast army.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yan merely said: "Do not underestimate Yang Jiande, the battle is not yet over. If your troops suffer defeat due to underestimation, do not blame this general for enforcing military law!"
Zhong Xuan, with a change in his haughty demeanor, became humble and rode on horseback, bowing respectfully as he said, "Yes!"
Yang Jiande commanded an army of 210,000, advancing from west to east. Chong Xuan and Zhu Liang personally led an army of 100,000 Autumn Killers, advancing from east to west. The Qi army also had numerous auxiliary troops who cooperated in formations, linking key points to encircle the entire Yang nation, but they would not participate in the decisive battle.
The entire state of Yang was trapped by the Qi army, who formed a huge cage around it. The Qiu Sha army acted as the iron chains that bound the cage.
Yang Jiande led the troops precisely to break through this lock head head-on.
Escaping from any side of the cage isn't difficult, but it doesn't have any meaning.
And when Chong Xuan and Chu Liang advanced their army, it was like a hand reaching in from outside the cage to seize the prey within.
Either Zhāng Xuánzhǔ would succeed in capturing the prey and return with a full load, or Yáng Jiàn dé would break its hand and shatter the cage.
Akita County was chosen by both sides as the battlefield.
However, both sides advanced with caution.
At first glance, there are different reasons for each.
Yang Bishu had been slack for a long time, and Yang Jiande had also given up power for many years. Now, through the series of actions such as killing the prince, he regained control of military and political power. Administratively speaking, he doesn't need to talk about it. He needs to gradually advance his army to become familiar with and control the army again.
Whether it's being cautious and meticulous, or sharpening one's skills at the last minute.
Yang Guo couldn't hold out, so Yang Jiande had to march out of Hengyang County. However, even though he was in such a difficult position, right before the decisive battle, he forced himself to delay it further. This shows his military strategy clearly.
Zhong Xuan Sheng wouldn't misunderstand this. Zhong Xuan Chu Liang didn't lack confidence as much as his words suggested. Their conversation was just to block out the keywords of military arrogance.
Qiu Shajun was originally one of Qi Jiu's most renowned generals, and it was impossible for him to regard Yang Jun as an equal opponent. Especially since Xuan Sheng had dispersed the 70,000 troops stationed in Rizhao County without bringing a single soldier, Qiu Shajun began to look down upon Yang Jun even more.
I merely refrain from openly expressing myself because of the strictness of Xuanzhui's military discipline.
Only Chongxuan Sheng, due to his great merit (shēn), could afford a slight air of pride. This was just the opportunity to give Chongxuan Chuliang a good talking-to, in order to correct the attitude within the army.
The advance of the Qiu Sha army was slow, because Chong Xuan and Zhu Liang had greatly changed their military style this time.
The entire army advanced almost like an unstoppable force, crushing all resistance. They gathered surrendered soldiers and tested for plague at every step, relentlessly pushing forward inch by inch.
Every step is carefully planned, completely unlike the famous battles for which he is known.
...and intentionally or unintentionally, in the shrinking space between the two armies...some kind of change was taking place.
The White Bone Dao Saint Master from Zhuang Guo was still frantically absorbing the plague qi.
In the clearing of the woods, He floated in mid-air.
Forces of all shapes and sizes, tangible and intangible, are constantly flowing in from every direction.
The ghastly white smoke seemed almost solid, making the place look like a desolate and dangerous wasteland.

Occasionally, when the smoke and dust billowed up, one could make out the skeletal form of the White Bone Saint Master.
>
The person was completely naked, with a thin frame that seemed to conceal something moving beneath the skin. Areas of flesh would rise and fall, pulsing in waves.
Sometimes, one can see bones twisting in strange ways. Even so, bone may protrude through the skin, only to quickly retract and be covered again.
...the body...seemed to be undergoing some sort of transformation, restructuring.
Only His countenance remained unchanged, ever impassive. In contrast, it seemed all the more terrifying and ghastly.
Furthermore, heaven and earth are like a furnace, pestilence is like fire, and I (the body) am like cinnabar.
And within the ghastly white smoke, there was always a voice, faint and fleeting, as if beginning and ending at once.
>
Listen carefully, the song is singing---
“Heaven and earth have no limit, the emperor’s grace is immeasurable, filial piety does not exist, and teacher's kindness turns into hatred.”
Five Bonds are impermanent, Seven Emotions extinguished! Stepping through my gate of life and death, wearing my black and white sash.
"Kill my former self, let me go to the time of people!"
The survivors of Maple City will probably never forget.
It is precisely... the White Bone Unborn Song.
ps: the following does not count.
It was a stirring sight, but few shared this experience with me. It's like having a sword of unparalleled sharpness, yet no one to wield it against worthy opponents. There is a loneliness in such untapped potential.
Let's implement some additional measures. Let's try it out for next week first and see how it goes.
It not only motivates readers positively but also compels me to strive harder.
First of all, the alliance leader is to add one more chapter, and it will be fixed from now on.
Then the most important thing about a novel is subscriptions, it relates to whether editors recommend it and various website resources. (Roaring: Why am I still running! My abs have been seen!)
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
This website isn't very welcoming to new authors, so I hope you guys can help recommend it and let more people know about it.
As of now, the current price is 321.
Next week, if there are 100 more subscriptions, I will add one more chapter. If there are 200 more subscriptions, I will add two more chapters. There's no upper limit!
Then iss focus on honing swordsmanship on the Discussion Platform, efforts in other areas naturally become more abundant.Daoism, swordsmanship, the refinement of celestial and earthly solitude, the explorati...
