Peace Order

Chapter 1900: Chapter 14: Li Guanyi Versus Jiang Su

"What?!!!"

The moment this news was revealed, Jiang Gao’s face immediately changed, he suddenly stood up, stepped forward several steps, and grabbed the dossier back from the soldier who reported the intelligence.

Just a glance, his expression drastically changed.

It was written clearly, Emperor Qin was almost exerting all his effort.

Even if it’s an army of a million, according to the statement, there must be a lot of exaggeration, many places with ostentatious bluff, but at least there are five hundred thousand elite warriors, and the Emperor Qin, renowned as the world’s number one divine general, personally leading the troops, such a vast and imposing force, is like the crash of gold and jade, the sound is solemn and murderous.

The world situation, therefore, shifts.

Jiang Gao’s expression tightened, the world situation, the only weakness of his Ying Country at this moment, was thus found by Emperor Qin—Jiang Su went all out, breaking and then establishing anew, in Jiang Su’s eyes, after Jiang Gao’s realization, the situation of Ying Country would be far better than now over a few years.

However, it would gradually become even stronger, doesn’t it also prove that now is the weakest moment for Ying Country.

Jiang Gao felt the world situation, the overwhelming sensation surging forth with his flesh and blood.

Emperor Qin’s use of troops, in the past, extremely calm, immovable as a mountain.

But this time, the speed is frighteningly fast.

Jiang Gao took a deep breath and said:

"Quickly summon Grandmaster Jiang Su!"

Jiang Cai grabbed the imperial decree and intelligence, saying: "I’ll go call the Grandmaster!" He then turned and rushed out, his face pale, Jiang Gao sat on the throne, took a deep breath, and then exhaled deeply, wanting to calm himself.

But controlling emotions was not as simple as imagined.

He sat there, his heart still beating forcefully, feeling flustered.

As the crown prince, the feeling is not the same as being an emperor; and as an emperor, the diligence felt when gradually organizing internal politics, and then facing the changes like a mountain collapsing with decisive attack when ascending, the difference is leagues apart.

He tightly grasped his palm.

Realizing that he was not facing Li Guanyi, who was far younger than him, but a hero of the troubled times who galloped across the land from Marquis Qin Wu, to Prince Qin, to Emperor Qin, step by step rising.

His experience and foundation as a ruler, is stronger than Jiang Gao’s.

He looked at his slightly trembling palm, calmly faced his fear, and muttered: "Is this the feeling of being at the center of the vortex when the world drastically changes? Li Guanyi..."

"More than ten years ago, in Jiangzhou City, Gao would never have thought."

"The final contest for the world, would be between you and me."

He paused his voice, with a tinge of self-mockery, said: "I, actually rely on my forebearers and the Military God Master, to have the qualification to stand in front of you, to become your opponent, or rather... instead of saying your opponent is me."

"It might as well be, Father Emperor, Grandmaster, and the three hundred years of fortune of Daying all resting on my shoulders, all accumulated, that’s your opponent, I’m but a shadow chosen by all of this..."

"But even so."

"Even so!"

Jiang Gao clenched his fist, the deep-seated fear arising from facing the greatest turmoil of the world, still made his body tremble, then he gradually clenched the trembling hand of fear.

"I, am also the ruler of Daying Kingdom."

The trembling palm slammed heavily on the Dragon Chair, the intense pain dispersed hesitation and fear, Jiang Gao’s eyes transformed back into a sharp gaze, said: "Let us wrap up this chaotic age, Le Guanyi."

"With a grand battle, once and for all."

Jiang Su quickly arrived at the Ying Country palace.

Jiang Su, after all, was the leading figure of the Military School over three hundred years, before Emperor Qin’s final battle started, he withdrew his troops back to the city, already mobilized Ying Country’s entire army, stationed several corps in the southern region of Ying Country, near Jiangnan.

At this moment, once again ordered, these corps which had approached this area gradually responded swiftly, altogether eighty thousand troops directly blocked the vast border area between Ying Country and Qin Country.

"The core of this battle is Li Guanyi."

Jiang Su’s expression remained calm, he said: "I will go, block Li Guanyi, seal the road of their advance, Qin’s foundation is lacking, in such circumstances, over time, their logistics and supplies will fail to keep up, the army’s morale will rapidly collapse."

"If we can break Li Guanyi in the battle formation, it would be a great victory."

"Even if such a big win cannot be achieved, we can block their army’s edge, among the heroes of the world, only Li Guanyi can be considered a real opponent."

Jiang Su pointed at the geographical map of the world, nodded slightly, voice steady and slow: "And once the enemy moves, it’s actually our opportunity."

"With Gao Xiang, let him and me go together, to confront Li Guanyi head-on; He Ruoqinhu and Yuwen Lie each lead one hundred thousand troops, cutting off the connection between Emperor Qin’s army and the rear from both flanks."

"If successful, it can reverse to pounce on Jiangnan and Qin Country."

Jiang Gao said: "So direct and simple?"

Jiang Su looked at the geographical map, softly said: "Simple? Your Majesty thinks, is military strategy a profound matter? Not at all, so-called military strategy, is just knowing oneself and the opponent, knowing the change in the greater situation, thus one can win a hundred battles."

"This world has seen heroes wither over hundreds of years."

"Our warriors, Emperor Qin knows; the fierce ones under Emperor Qin’s command, we also are aware of, both sides have fought to such an extent as today, acquaintances have departed, those remaining are also considered old acquaintances, not having faced off just once."
