Chapter 246 I will lead the army in person

The Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon are one of the greatest secrets of the world. People only know that the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon have been controlled by the royal families of seven countries over the years. But what exactly is the secret of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon? I am afraid that even the kings of the seven countries do not know.

But the pursuit of the secret of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon has never stopped. From the Seven Kingdoms' struggle for supremacy to the Hundred Schools of Thought, traces of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon have appeared in between.

Although the purpose of these two women's trip was to study and gain insights to reach a higher level, it was also for the secret of the Blue Dragon. In the process, they have traveled all over the State of Chu and now have come to the State of Qi. Next, they will go to the State of Yan, the State of Zhao, the State of Wei, the State of Han, and even the last State of Qin.

During this period of investigation, they also collected some information and learned that the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon had demonstrated their power hundreds of years ago.

According to legend, decades after King Ping moved east, Duke Zhuang of Zheng used the power of a small country and the help of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon to dominate all the countries in a short period of time. This was the closest time to the secret of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon.

Now Yang Chong's rise seems to be even faster than that of Duke Zhuang of Zheng back then. Although the State of Zheng was not big back then, it was a country that had been managed for three generations and was an upright country.

But what about Yang Chong? Yang Chong's rise to power took only three years, and he wasted some time in Han during this period. However, during this period, Yang Chong, from a commoner, quickly became the ruler of a small country with the help of Zhao. Now, he has been elected as the King of Qi by the six kings, and is about to go to war with the great power of Qi.

Yang Chong's martial arts were far beyond what he could have at his age. In their opinion, all these clues could only be attributed to the Blue Dragon Seven Stars. After all, Yang Chong was also from a royal family. Although this royal family had been destroyed for two or three hundred years, what if the Tian family had not obtained the Blue Dragon Seven Stars when they usurped the State of Qi? What if the Blue Dragon Seven Stars had always been in the hands of Yang Chong's lineage?
Faced with her sister Yan Fei's hesitation at this moment, countless thoughts echoed in her sister Yue Shen's mind.

"I think the secret of the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars must be in Yang Chong. Otherwise, it is hard to explain how he could become so powerful in just a few years. It is definitely not something that one person can do. It can only be classified as a myth. And this world, as a myth, how could it be possible to avoid the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars?" Yan Fei's hesitation has turned into determination.

Originally, their trip to Qi was coming to an end. They were ready to leave Qi and head north to Yan. However, Yang Chong's sudden rise made Yan Fei change her mind. She thought that maybe she could find something from Yang Chong, although she had not found anything in Qi.
Of course, all of this is based on a prerequisite, that is, Yang Chong can really defeat the entire Qi State with a corner of the country. Only when Yang Chong accomplishes things that humans cannot accomplish can he truly become a legend. If Yang Chong fails, then everything is over. A failed myth is not a myth.

“If we were to ask who in the world today is most likely to have mastered the secret of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon, Yang Chong would definitely be among them.” Yue Shen, the younger sister, said. Obviously, she had thought of a lot of things from her sister Yan Fei’s hesitation, and she also thought the same thing as Yan Fei.

"So sister, do you think we still need to go to Yan State?" Yan Fei asked.

Although she already had an idea in her mind, she knew the Moon Goddess's character well and still wanted to seek her opinion, lest the conceited and inferior Moon Goddess become angry again.

Over the years, being a sister has not been easy, especially in a place like the Yin-Yang family where everyone is a bit twisted.

"Sister, don't you already have an idea? Why ask me? Just make the decision yourself." The Moon Goddess replied indifferently. She knew why Yan Fei asked this, which was why she was unhappy. Who needs to give in to whom? Is she so pitiful, weak and helpless?

"Then let's stay and see if the king of Qi can really be changed." Yan Fei said, but there was helplessness in her expression. It was not easy to be a sister.

Faced with the war, some people were excited, while others had new doubts, but no matter what they thought, the war continued. While Qi was still recruiting soldiers, the vanguard of the army from Dong'a had already invaded the territory of Qi and captured several cities with a thunderous force. Then they stopped attacking any city along the way and went straight to Linzi City.

The speed of the Dong'a army was beyond the expectations of the entire Qi State. Even though there were many experts in the Jixia Academy who were known for their expertise in military tactics, they were completely speechless at this moment.

In recent times, King Jian of Qi has been working hard to rebuild the country's military preparations. He has consulted many wise men in the Jixia Academy, and naturally there are many very good suggestions. However, these good suggestions have not been put into practice yet. Only about 200,000 troops have been gathered in Linzi, and before they could swear to go to war, the army of Dong'a had already arrived.

"Is Yang Chong crazy? Does he think he is the Jiang Taigong of the past? But even if he has the ability of Jiang Taigong, I am not as immoral as King Zhou. Could it be that my people will turn against him during his attack?" In the Qi Palace, King Jian of Qi looked at the military report in his hand, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, it is easy to find the answer to whether Yang Chong is a madman. King Zheng of Qin, Queen Mother Zhao, and even Huan Ji can tell Your Majesty that Yang Chong is not a madman." Hou Sheng said.

"Then why did he do this? With his 70,000 or 80,000 men, if they had defended the city, they might have had a little chance. But now he has directly attacked the territory of our Qi State and penetrated a hundred miles in one go. Could he be..." King Jian of Qi was stunned as he spoke, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

No way? Suddenly realizing something, Qi Wangjian's slightly round face turned red, purely out of anger.

"Your Majesty?" Hou Sheng saw Qi Wangjian's reaction and knew that Qi Wangjian had finally reacted.

There was only one reason why Yang Chong led his army so far, and that was that he was sure of victory. As a smart man, Yang Chong would certainly not seek his own death. Excluding this point, there was only one explanation left.

"Have I been ignored? Have I been looked down upon?" King Jian of Qi felt as if his forehead was filled with blood. If he knew what blood pressure was, he would have tried his best to calm down, because his blood pressure had reached the critical value. If there was an accident, he might have to lie down before Yang Chong could attack.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Yang Chong is so arrogant that it is not worth your actions." Hou Sheng hurriedly persuaded.

Although King Jian of Qi did not have any great ambitions, he was the ruler of a country after all, and he still had the necessary pride. How could he not be angry when he was ignored by someone who was far inferior to him?

"I will lead the army in person, and I will personally kill that arrogant man." Hou Sheng's persuasion was of no use. King Jian of Qi had already made up his mind at this time. It was time for him to let the world take his State of Qi seriously. If he did not show his majesty as a king, people in the world would really think that he, King Jian of Qi, was a mascot.

"The emperor will lead the army in person?" Hou Sheng was stunned when he heard this. He instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't say anything.

After all, Linzi now has more than 200,000 troops, and another 200,000 troops can be mobilized later. An army of this size against those in Dong'a City means more than 400,000 against 70,000. With such a huge disparity in strength, it would be unfair if I couldn't say that I have the advantage.

King Jian of Qi, who had lived in the royal palace for many years, showed his bravery to the people of Qi and the world this time. King Jian of Qi was not just a life of drunkenness and dreams. When necessary, he had the courage to fight.

"The King of Qi is going to lead the army in person?" In the military camp more than 200 miles away from Linzi, Yang Chong looked at the intelligence obtained by night investigation and was speechless for a moment. At this moment, Yang Chong could not help but have a feeling, a feeling that destiny was in his hands.

Am I really the protagonist? Yang Chong touched his forehead, speechless for a moment.

Leading the army in person is not something that everyone can do. Not to mention the Zhou emperor many years ago, in Yang Chong's memory, there were two famous gods in later generations who, in the conquest of the enemy, had absolute superiority in military forces. Because of the so-called personal leadership of the emperor, the war that could have been crushed by absolute strength was turned into a miracle and wonder in military history.

Could it be that King Jian of Qi is possessed by Emperor Yang or Bao Zong?

Yang Chong looked at the information in his hand and read it over and over again several times to make sure he had not seen it before. During this process, these were all he could think of.

Yang Chong knew what kind of person Qi Wangjian was. It was fine for him to stay in the palace and enjoy life, but could he fight? It was not impossible for such a person to become the first generation of Baozong.

"Your Majesty, this fake king's personal expedition may cause unexpected changes in the war." Yan Ju, the deputy general, reminded Yang Chong.

If King Jian of Qi leads the army in person, the morale of the Qi army will certainly be boosted. The Qi army already has an absolute advantage in military strength. If the Qi army can be united, Yang Chong's chances will be even smaller.

Yan Ju is deeply worried about this.

"No matter who the enemy's main general is, I have to be careful in dealing with him. However, Prince Jian of Qi is an exception. If I was only 40% sure about this battle before, now I am 70% sure. Prince Jian of Qi is really my good friend. Just based on his personal participation this time, the 'friendship' that increases my chances of winning by 3 points, I will ensure that he has a good end in the future." Compared with Yan Ju's worries, Yang Chong was full of confidence.

In Yang Chong's previous plan, facing the powerful Qi army, he had to use the strength of the entire army to create an opportunity for himself, an opportunity to kill the opponent's main general in one battle.

As the saying goes, when shooting a man, shoot his horse first; when capturing a thief, capture his leader first. Yang Chong was trying to win with a small investment. If he wanted to win, he had to take risks. Creating an opportunity to capture and kill the main general of the Qi army was one of the few opportunities Yang Chong had.

It can be said that even if Yang Chong could win this battle, he had no idea how long it would take to capture Linzi and how long it would take to completely conquer Qi. But now King Jian of Qi took the initiative to offer him such an opportunity.

Now Yang Chong can only believe that destiny really lies in his own hands.

In this battle, as long as Yang Chong could capture King Jian of Qi, he could take over Linzi, or even the entire Qi State, as quickly as possible.

"My Lord?" Yan Ju looked at Yang Chong worriedly. Was Yang Chong too confident now? He could even be said to be conceited.

King Jian of Qi led hundreds of thousands of Qi troops to personally lead the army to fight. Even if King Jian of Qi knew nothing, hundreds of thousands of Qi troops could wipe out all of them. So where did Yang Chong's confidence come from?
"Pass the order down and set up camp on the spot. I'm waiting for King Jian of Qi to lead the army in person." Yang Chong didn't care about Yan Ju's reaction. Now he had to prepare for war with all his strength.

"Yes." As the deputy general, Yan Ju could only reply like this. He really had no confidence or reason to oppose Yang Chong's decision.

King Jian of Qi led the army in person, and so did Yang Chong, the king who was not a king.

"The fake king is really scared." King Jian of Qi, who was dressed in golden armor, had just left Linzi for thirty miles when he received the news that Yang Chong was keeping his troops in place and was afraid to move forward.

When King Jian of Qi heard the news, these were the only things he could think of.

"Your Majesty, since Yang Chong is already afraid, do you not need to lead the army in person?" Hou Sheng, who sent King Jian of Qi to the outskirts of Linzi, still wanted to rescue him again.

Although he did not think that the Qi army would be defeated, King Jian of Qi also had no reason to lead the army in person. The so-called accidents, even if they were only a one in ten thousand chance, still existed. It was better to stay in Linzi to be safe.

"No, the fake king is afraid of me, so I should lead the army myself." King Jian of Qi, who misunderstood the news, became more determined.

The contact with the army in the past few days made King Jian of Qi discover the beauty of the army. The palace is certainly a paradise where one can live a life of luxury, but the iron-blooded conquest in the army is also a man's romance.

At this time, the passion in King Jian of Qi's heart had been completely ignited by the military spirit.

King Jian of Qi said that he also wanted to show off his courage.

Hou Sheng realized that his advice was innocent, so he could only accept the current facts. Although there was a one in ten thousand chance that an accident would occur, there was still a nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine chance of winning. Since King Jian of Qi had already made the decision, there was no point in him objecting.

More importantly, Hou Sheng could not think of any reason why King Jian of Qi would be defeated. After all, King Jian of Qi's advantage was too great.

"There shouldn't be any problem with King Jian of Qi's move at this time. After all, even if it is the so-called imperial expedition, he has never left the territory of Qi, which is less than 200 miles away. Even if something unexpected happens, Qi's troops in all directions can provide support at any time." Dun Ruo thought to himself as he looked at the endless Qi army.

But there was always a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart. There was no reason, it was just an intuition. But it was precisely because of this intuition that his mind was unable to calm down.
