Chapter 174: Millions of Masters

Over the years, the Lian family naturally had its own business dealings. Given the special nature of the family's industry, their main connections were within the military.
...While the Chong Xuan family's influence within the military... could crush a family like the Lians hundreds, even thousands of times.

The resources each side can mobilize are not on the same level at all, so there's no need to demonstrate a disparity in intelligence.
For Chong Xuan Sheng, this game by the Lian family was never a challenge. The only questions he needed to consider were what role the Lian family could play and when it would be most opportune for him to wrap things up.
The timing for Xia's invasion was once in a century. No matter what plans he had before, he had to yield for this war, so-called "in line with heaven and time." So, he met Jiang Wang outside Qi King's palace and headed straight to Nanyao City. The entire process of Li clan seizing power lacked any thrilling or heart-pounding scenes.

It all began suddenly and ended abruptly. Lian Zhu Ping set himself ablaze to death within the ancestral hall. Outside the ancestral hall, Lian Que proclaimed the end of the fate-tablet system.
Like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, there is no joy or sorrow to speak of. It's just that old wishes have been fulfilled and the youthful spirit of drinking was once vibrant.
... When Lian Que officially took charge of the Lian family's power... The Emperor of Qi had already issued an imperial decree! Cao Jie was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Xia Campaign, with Ruǎn Qióu, the inspector of the Astronomical Observatory, and Yán Píng, the former prime minister, serving as military advisors.
Thus, troops from the Eastern territories were conscripted: Zhao, Yi, Chang, Rong and other small states contributed a total of 300,000 soldiers, organized into three armies. Xie Huai'an, an official of the Imperial Council, was appointed to command operations in the center, and the campaign against Xia commenced.

Thirty thousand soldiers were raised from all over the country, led by Chen Fu, a scholar-official. Of these, three out of every nine were to be killed in spring, autumn, or swept away by the wind, serving as the main force against Xia.
This expedition, there were two True Monarchs and five True Persons. A million valiant soldiers attacked Xia! Fully displaying the heart of Duke Qi's intent to destroy Xia!
Prior to this, the most popular and widely trusted candidate for the military command, General Jiang Mengxiong of Daqi, was not appointed as commander nor did he accompany the army. This was, after all, a foreseeable outcome.
After all, considering Jiang Mengxiong's prestige within the army, going out meant being a general, and coming in meant defending the nation. It was difficult for him to simply be a garrison commander... The position of "military strategist of the garrison" was a newly created one.

Though the God of War himself did not go into battle, several of his disciples, apart from Ji Zhaonan who was still fighting at the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons and had no time to spare, both his eldest disciple, Chen Zeqing, and his closed-door disciple, Wang Yiwu, were all going to participate in this war.
Although Chong Xuanchu, the brutal slaughterer, did not secure the position of commander-in-chief against Xia, he was undoubtedly the main force in the war against Xia, personally leading the Qiu Sha army into battle.
Only Xiu Yuan... The Qi Dian army was not part of the main force in this campaign against Xia. Xiu Yuan had petitioned to be appointed as commander, but in the end, he didn't even get to set foot on the battlefield.
The emperor's heart is truly unfathomable! And without a sound, the Zhufeng Army, known for its ability to crush enemies, infiltrated the Xia army's ranks. This formidable force was led by none other than the contemporary Destroying-City Marquis, Li Zhengyan.
Generally speaking, the Dachi Nine Armies excluding the Tianfu Army are undoubtedly the strongest. The rest of the elite troops have always been evenly matched, difficult to distinguish.

But there is also this saying—spring is the first season of death, and wind chasing is the first of the four images! In any case, regardless of what considerations are behind it or how it is planned.
The army that Qi sent south this time was also considered to be the main force of Qi, fully representing the true military power of the Daqi Empire.
This wasn't a battle for beauty alone, but also a suppression of all factions under control. It was the maximum force they could muster in this situation.

“How the Heavenly Emperor made his calculations, we needn't ponder. The Grand Marshal has been appointed, the campaign date set; all else is now of little consequence. What concerns us now is what pertains to all of us in this war.” Jiang Wang and Lian Que, who had once shared a drink from the same cup – the heavy Xuan Sheng sat cross-legged on a bamboo mat, discussing the imperial decree.
Three people were sitting around a fire pit at this time, above which hung a large vat, boiling full of wine.
The whole roasted leg of beef and lamb are laid out in a food box, piled on a bamboo mat table before the chef. Between the tender, fragrant meat is only a single knife for eating.
Lian Que held a bamboo ladle in his hand, calmly ladling hot wine for his two friends. Shi Fourteen stood alone by the door, clad in armor and wielding a sword.
In the winter, with snow falling outside as I brewed wine, Chong Xuan Sheng continued, “If nothing unexpected happens, Chong Xuan Zun and I will both join the Qiu Sha army. In this war, my uncle won’t favor me. The outcome is predictable — Chong Xuan Zun and I will each lead an army, fighting for survival on the battlefield. While we are evenly matched in terms of skill, I am no match for him when it comes to leading troops. However, in strategy and command, I won't lose to him.” He looked at Lian Que, “By then, I should have ten thousand soldiers under my command. These ten thousand soldiers need to be fully equipped before we leave the country. I want the best."
“As long as it’s legal, I’ll definitely do my best to cooperate.” Lian Que said very straightforwardly. If you really want to go all out, there are actually many places where the Lian family can be of help.
For example, when changing the uniforms of the soldiers under Chong Xuan's command, doing something behind the scenes... But Chong Xuan wouldn't be so foolish, so out of line. And Lian Que wouldn't agree to such a thing either.
Under the existing rules, Lianjia's options were relatively limited. However, Chongxuan Sheng was not in a hurry.
Similar to how Lianjia prepared, he did a lot. Accumulating small advantages into large ones is exactly what he has been doing throughout his competition with Chongxuan Zun.
Facing Chong Xuan, being able to have a little advantage, what else is there to be dissatisfied with
"The battlefield changes in an instant. Talking about it now is pointless. We can only prepare beforehand. As for the rest, we'll discuss it when we reach Xia Guo." Chongxuan Sheng raised his wine bowl and said, "Let's drink this and then return to Linzi!" The three of them clinked their bowls together and drank in one go.
Several years ago, these young men who were unknown to each other now each have their own careers. It is fortunate that they still have the feelings of old times.
Zhong Xuan Sheng was about to get up. Jiang Wang, however, took out a broken spear from the storage box and handed it to Lian Que: "Lian Brother, can you help me see if this spear can be repaired" Lian Que took it over and glanced at it, then said: "This spear's most brilliant part is in the shaft, the head isn't particularly outstanding. It was a bit of a waste when it was crafted... but now the shaft is broken, its spirit is gone." He looked again, his tone laced with regret: "It's destroyed thoroughly."
"Is there no other way" Jiang Wang asked. Seeing his earnest expression, Lian Que stared at the broken gun, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I can try... but it's almost impossible to succeed."
"No matter what...it's worth a try." Jiang Wang said with some desolation. Lian Que then took the broken spear.
Then he said, "Be careful on the battlefield. If you need any help, just let me know." Chong Xuan certainly wouldn't be polite. He had come here with great effort precisely to gain the support of the entire Lian clan.
