The sudden news froze Li Zhaowen’s expression instantly, her body swayed, and she flew away, raising her hand to apply a technique to stop the cavalryman’s bleeding, supporting him up, she said, "What is the situation?!" The cavalry general had broken through with many injuries, holding a silk scroll with bloody characters, said, "The Duke and numerous soldiers, patrolling our Daying borders, were besieged by the joint forces of Da Wan, Great Shi, and other tribes outside Yemen Pass." "Originally, forty-two cities that submitted to our Daying have either rebelled or fallen; now there are only two cities left. The Duke leads the army in one city, I and over ten cavalrymen broke out, and only I survived." "Before leaving, after the fierce fighting, there were only over a hundred thousand military and civilians left in the city." "And the enemy coalition army has already reached a hundred thousand elite troops." The cavalry general spoke and already spit out fresh blood, his face as pale as gold paper, said, "Mr. Yuwen, please rush to aid the Duke, not knowing what happened to the various tribes in the Western Regions, these Da Wan, Yuezhi nations are like crazy." As he spoke, he fell silent. Li Zhaowen checked his breath and found that he was just severely wounded, sprinting all the way, mentally taut, now finally delivering the message, he relaxed and fell into a complete faint. Li Zhaowen called for people to come and took the brave general down to rest. Being able to break through forcibly in the Third Layer Heaven realm was both courage and luck, a result of staking everything on the line, a gallant warrior. Li Zhaowen’s expression remained calm as she turned to Li Guanyi: "Mr. Li, I fear the discussion about the world affairs over playing the zither and laughing has to be postponed." "Please rest a while; over at my elder brother’s side, he is probably anxious too." Li Zhaowen, still able to show calmness, quickly walked out, her steps much hastier than usual, accidentally knocking over a redwood ornament by the roadside, the porcelain vase on it shattering to the ground. Li Zhaowen watched the shattered item, her gaze slightly icy, pursed her lips, and left quickly. Li Guanyi, left behind, raised his hand using the Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture to heal the brave cavalryman, then bent down to pick up a piece of shattered high-grade porcelain, the turbulent winds of the Western Regions unfolding before his eyes. He pinched this piece of porcelain, muttering to himself: "...Among the thirty-six tribes of the Western Regions, there are also astute and brave individuals." "They should see that Ying Country cannot let the Wolf King destroy Dangxiang; for Ying Country, the best scenario is Dangxiang remains while the Western Regions remain perpetually chaotic." "For Jiang Su and Jiang Wanxiang, the fate of the Western Regions determines the future trajectory of the world." "And for the thirty-six tribes of the Western Regions, isn’t it the same..." "They want to trap or even kill the Duke of the Western Regions’ Duke Mansion, suppress Ying Country’s influence in the Western Regions, and make the situation there relatively simpler; then it’s a contest between their coalition and the Wolf King to wipe out Dangxiang." Li Guanyi paused, threw down the piece of porcelain, said: "Everyone in the world draws their swords to fight for their own stance." "This thing should be quite expensive." Li Guanyi’s mind wandered unconsciously, putting down the fragment, today the entire Duke Mansion, and even Xiyi City tensed up, Li Guanyi returned to the guests’ residence, Luoxia Courtyard, pondering how he should handle it. The various tribes of the Western Regions, the Duke of Ying Country, all have their reasons and purposes for their actions. Purely in terms of goal, it’s hard to say whose is higher. But Li Guanyi and Li Zhaowen are allies, and he has a three-year agreement with Jiang Wanxiang; for him, he naturally stands with Li Zhaowen. However, with a coalition army of a hundred thousand elite, if it’s secondary troops it’s fine, but if it’s a hundred thousand Qie Xue Army level. The weight would be completely different. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs ɴovelfire.net This time, the heroes of the Western Regions are also determined to sever Ying Country’s power. If not, they can’t influence the stormy situation of the world. A hundred thousand brave warriors from the coalition of various tribes, even if Li Guanyi’s Anxi City is brought in, it’s not enough to contend by force, only by wit. Li Guanyi’s mind shifted slightly, thought of one strategy after another, yet all lacked something. Suddenly thought of the three kit bags given to him by Breaking Army before he left. Li Guanyi took out the kit bags, choosing the one marked "One." It contained a letter inside. Written in Breaking Army’s familiar handwriting, Li Guanyi read the letter as if the strategist was right beside, discussing the big picture of the Western Regions, saying: "If my lord opens this letter, I imagine there is trouble. What I saw of the Western Regions’ world in Anxi City is after all just a corner, yet it can give a glimpse of the whole." "Xiyi City suddenly restraining us, I think Xiyi City might have encountered something. Now, the situation in the Western Regions, all depends on the Wolf King. If the Wolf King acts, it must harm Ying Country’s great situation; Jiang Su the Divine General cannot possibly not see this." "If I am not mistaken, the Duke must have led a command, taking most of the troops from Xiyi City out on patrol, and the heroes of the Western Regions would not miss this opportunity." "For the Western Regions, they do not want to become the pawns of the Central Plains heroes." "With this mindset, to break Ying Country’s hand with all efforts is only natural." "Though Xiyi City is a border pass, there is an order to leave a considerable garrison force in the city; the Duke should have taken tens of thousands out on patrol, leaving mostly defenders in the city. The other generals probably do not wish to march out to die at this time." "Ying Country’s situation sharply turns downhill, but it’s also an opportunity for us to gain." The writing is plain, with not an ounce of doubt.
