Chapter 191: Flag-Town Mountain River
he coast.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!The coast of Qi State also had defenses. There were thirteen docks in Linhai County, with ships constantly coming and going....The Purple Micro Heaven Sovereign Banner flutters atop the peak of Sword-Edge Mountain.
Higher than mountains, closer to the heavens.
This flag once flew over the Guanhe Terrace and now flies in the Xia Realm.
This flag embodies the glorious past of a great empire... those indelible glimpses of splendor.
If there is this supreme purple, then there is this dazzling glory.
This towering flag, erected here, represents more than just the glory of the State of Qi. It serves as a tangible manifestation of the nation's power, bolstering the morale of the Qi army on its southern campaign.
Majestic mountains and rivers!
The army has marched east all the way, and now the first step is firmly planted here...
The descending troops on the mountain were not mistreated, they simply had their weapons confiscated and were detained in place.
A massive army marched from under the Sword Peak, at a relatively leisurely pace, heading towards Xiangyou Prefecture.
Zhong Xuan simply glanced and calculated the marching speed, telling Jiang Wang that in three days, they would arrive at Xiangyou Prefecture just in time, not a moment sooner or later.
The Zifeng Army has dispersed on the spot, dividing into nine armies to sweep across the entire Fengjie Prefecture.
Li Zhengyan led the charge alone, roaming the four corners, specializing in tackling the toughest challenges.
For the Zuifeng Army, this battle's objective was not so much about attacking and defeating the enemy as it was about honing their skills.
Yu Liyang fled, Hua Hongzhao died in battle, and Jianfeng Mountain fell... The ensuing battles at Fengjie Prefecture were destined to be lackluster.

It is undeniable that in the summer country, there has always been no shortage of daring men who are not afraid of death.
Although Emperor Xiaoxiang is dead, his spirit and will continue to influence generation after generation of people in the Xia kingdom.
But Jian Feng Shan fell in a single day, and the morale of the Fengjie Prefecture army had already collapsed.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
According to scout reports, a large number of Xia nation soldiers and civilians have abandoned their cities within the Fengjie Prefecture and fled outwards.

In this situation, being able to hold the city is rare resilience. But the Zhui Feng Army is such a powerful force in the world... Under the crushing weight of the giant stone, even the most resilient eggs are useless.
This is a response to your request.
For Li Zhengyan, who had once destroyed a nation in ten days and enjoyed a long reign as a prominent figure, this trip was merely a test of his mettle. His stage would be at Xiangyou Mansion, three days later, with Xia Wu Wang Si Jiao personally presiding over the event.
At this time, the central army, with the Chunsi Army as the vanguard, advanced.
The Qiu Sha army trailed behind at a leisurely pace, maintaining the loosest of formations. They had already entered a state of rest.
Pills of Qi and Blood and Dao Origin Stones were transported out in large quantities and distributed to everyone to help them recover.
Having nothing else to do, Jiang Wang simply hopped into a military transport vehicle and immersed himself in his cultivation world.
The Fourth Star Building was officially completed just before the army's departure. Although it was considered complete, there was still a need for further familiarity.
The Star Road connects seven stars, an unprecedented feat. There is no prior experience to learn from, so he must ponder it further.
"What are you writing"

After awakening from his meditation, Xuan Sheng found himself squeezed next to him in the supply wagon. The creaking of the vehicle made one worry for the beasts pulling it.
This fat man himself seemed quite unconcerned. He was holding a pen in his hand and writing something in a small booklet.
Jiang Wang was a little curious.
“Help me, dear cousin. Remember this,” Zheng Xuan said with a chuckle.
At this time, Zhong Xuanzun, leading his vanguard camp along with the Zhurong Army, was sweeping through Fengjie Prefecture. The advantage of the vanguard lies in this.

Possessing the freest posture, being in the most dangerous situation, can also earn the greatest achievements.
Even those like Chong Xuan Sheng, who didn't need rest, could only stay honestly within the Qiu Sha Army, waiting for their commander's orders.
Ginger became interested and walked over to take a look.
On the booklet, two names were written in two columns. On the left was "Zhong Xuan Zun," and on the right was "Zhong Xuan Sheng."
Below, it says:"Breakthrough, one hundred miles."

Ruined city, Part Two.

"He has already captured two cities" Jiang Wang asked in surprise.
Zhong Xuan Sheng rolled his eyes: "Taking over the current Fengjie Prefecture is a piece of cake. Sending Zhong Xuanyin there wouldn't be any different either."
As he spoke, he added a "little" after "Two".
This is to show that the achievement of this broken city is not really significant; it can only be calculated in small amounts.
Looking at the name of Chong Xuan again, there is also a line below it: "Breaking through the pass, Mount Jianfeng."
"This can't be under your name, can it"
"Can we take credit for even one-tenth of the achievements in conquering Jianfeng Mountain No, even if we add the three top warriors..."
Zhong Xuansheng slammed the booklet shut and said, "Such a bother!"
He got out of the carriage and rummaged through his storage box, going to comfort the soldiers in their camp. After all, he, a man born into nobility, was well-versed in the art of employing troops.

Fourteen followed close behind, deep in thought, his steps heavier than before.
"Don't rush, don't rush."
Zhong Xuan, despite his busy schedule, turned back and shook her hand: "The war is still going on."
The news of Jianfeng Mountain falling in a single day was undoubtedly like an earthquake!
Although the Xia Guo military tried its best to seal off the news, in the entire Fengjie Prefecture, with twenty-three cities and millions of people, they were displaced overnight... How could it possibly be contained
Not to mention the Qi Guo intelligence system's efforts.
People are in panic!
To describe the atmosphere in your esteemed city with these four words is perfectly apt.
Every household is filled with worry and anxiety.
On the streets, people are bustling.
In the imperial court, how many dignitaries could sleep soundly

Thirty-two years ago, the scene of Qi troops besieging Guyi City is something some have forgotten. However, it's a memory that needs to be revisited.
Palace of Azure Phoenix
A giant jade curtain hung down, dividing this hall, dedicated to the Empress Dowager's affairs, in two. Of course, there was no official designation for it. The legitimate heir of Daxia was Xia Xiangdi’s son... But over time, this palace came to be understood as the place where the Empress Dowager personally handled government affairs.
Behind the beaded curtain, Empress Dowager Xia of Da Xia leaned on a phoenix chair, supporting her forehead with one hand and closing her beautiful eyes slightly, as if resting her mind.
A palace maid stood beside him, reading a scroll aloud in a clear and measured voice.
>
When she heard the key points, she spoke a few words. Next to her was a writing desk with a palace maid seated at it, diligently recording what was said with her brush.
Over the years of handling political affairs, she had become as adept as the previous emperor. She could see through the veiled expressions of the officials and the subtle personal agendas lurking in their hearts with a single glance. When she spoke, her words always hit the nail on the head.
Official matters were dealt with one by one, like water flowing over a cup.
The power accumulated by Day Xia over these thirty-two years was still palpable.
The future is still long, she thought.
>
A young eunuch approached and knelt outside the curtain, "Prince Min has arrived."
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Announce," Empress Xia said simply.
>
The palace maid reading the imperial edict immediately stopped talking, and the one recording the decree also put down her brush.
But all of them couldn't help but steal glances out the curtain with their peripheral vision.
In a short while, the legendary figure of the Godly Martial era, King Min Yu Li Yang, strode into the hall against the light.
"I have seen Your Majesty the Empress Dowager," he bowed respectfully.
Regardless of appearance, status, or personal ability, he is a top-tier figure in the Xia Dynasty.
It's no wonder people can't take their eyes off it.
"Please, King Min, have a seat." Empress Xia's voice came from behind the beaded curtain.
Behind the beaded curtain, in the center of the main hall, there was placed a dignified chair.
Yu Liyang walked forward and sat down, conversing with the current Empress Dowager through a beaded curtain.
"The Sword Peak Mountain fell in a single day, it was my fault." He said so.
Summer Empress Dowager said: “Regarding the war, I have been informed. Cao’s forces are indeed strong and overwhelming, there is no way to match them. Ultimately, this is not a sin of war. It is my Great Xia nation that is weak, allowing King Min to be disgraced.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Yu Liyang let out a bitter smile: "Your Majesty is saying this to comfort me."
"This matter, any discerning person knows, don't mind the talk of ordinary people." Empress Xia said softly: "The King of Min is a blessing for our Great Xia. That the King of Min would sacrifice his reputation for the country nearly moved me to tears."
Yu Liyang had to admit.
Even if he were powerful enough, even if he stood at the pinnacle of transcendence, even if he were utterly unaffected by those criticisms.
Summer Empress' words still gave him great comfort.
Just like when the Xia Kingdom was engulfed in flames of war, his pride was shattered time and again on the battlefield. He, who considered himself a dashing figure, retreated again and again, fled again and again, returning to Guyi City in disgrace, back to the last capital of the Great Xia.
That day, as he looked up, the Empress stood on top of Guiyi City in her phoenix crown and scarlet robes, like a burning rose bush full of life!
So vibrant, so brilliant,
He was given limitless power.
He, who was weary and parched as the desert, has regained his vitality.
That kind of strength supported him through the years that followed, allowing him to stand up again and again.
...supported him in becoming the King of Min.
Supporting him today, the pillar of Daxia!
>
"Speaking of which…" Yu Liyang said, “The Qi army's familiarity with the Jianfeng Mountain defense line far exceeds Xia Wang's expectations. Xia Wang suspects that our Daxia still holds some secrets from the Qi nation.”
As soon as Cao Jie saw him, he immediately placed a heavy bet, clearly having already seen the final result.
This kind of certainty, this familiarity, cannot be explained by the word "intelligence" alone.
The Xia country military, someone must have leaked information about the Jianfengshan defense line in meticulous detail! Perhaps, it's not just Jianfengshan...
Who is that person
Who is the traitor
Yu Liyang was very clear about it.
...Jing'an Hou Hua Hong finally chose to die, and he had not been without the intention of using death to make his stand clear in the end.
After all, his son Hu Fangyu lost the battle in a laughable manner. When it was his turn to personally guard Jianfeng Mountain, the related secrets of Jianfeng Mountain were infiltrated by the Qi army into a sieve...
There's no reason to hold a grudge against someone who has passed away.
Since Huahong has proven his loyalty with his life, the Jing'an Hou Mansion will not be attacked.
It's just... if it weren't for Huahong, who else would it be

"This Empress thinks that King Min need not worry too much about these matters." From behind the beaded curtain, Empress Xia's voice sounded. "Life and death are major events. The Qi people are powerful with strong troops, dominating the East. It is perfectly normal for some to surrender out of fear, it's impossible to stop such things entirely."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Perhaps to the great Qi, our Xia Dynasty, there are no more secrets. But there is no need for any.
“The rise and fall of a nation depends not on secrets or hidden tactics, but on true strength, prudent wisdom, the belief in unity, and the courage to fight until the very last drop of blood.”
The Empress Xia's meaning was very clear. Unless there was conclusive evidence, she would not make a public and thorough investigation of traitors at this time.
She wanted to unite everyone who could be united, instead of causing suspicion and discord among her courtiers at this time.
If that person isn't exposed, there will be many problems. But if we expose them now, there will be even more problems.

On the other hand, could Cao Jie's unreserved familiarity with the Sword Peak Mountain defense line be a deliberate tactic to sow discord among them
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This step is the crux of the matter!
While Empress Xia chose to ignore this, the whole country united against Qi. With the tide turning, she wanted even that traitor to lend a hand.
Yu Liyang said: "The Empress Dowager is right... The defense line of Tong'ang City was personally built by the Little King, and the latter half was taken over by His Highness, King Wu. Besides us and General Longjiao, no one else has a deep understanding of it. Even if someone from Qi wants to infiltrate, there is nowhere to penetrate."
“Therefore, Xiangyoufu is the true battlefield to test our Xia nation’s soldiers.” Behind the beaded curtain, the Empress’s voice was heavy with weight.
Her aspirations, laid bare within.
Her anxiety was also unconcealed.
Yu Liyang originally wanted to say that Jianfeng Mountain was broken so quickly, leaving King Wu with too little time. He wondered if the old man could complete the defense construction ahead of schedule.
But at last, he just said, "Yeah!"
Tong'ang City stands at a height of forty-nine zhang, a rare and imposing fortress that towers over the Jiangyin plain.
South of the mountains and north of the water is "Yang," and north of the mountains and south of the water is "Yin." Therefore, this plain is naturally located to the south of Lianjiang River.
To be precise, it's to the southwest of this great river. Because on maps, the Lianjiang River is depicted as sloping.
Jiangyin Ping originally came with no danger to defend. Together with the central city built here, it became a strategically important place.
The so-called mighty city, the so-called high wall, are not simply piles of bricks and earth.
Otherwise, if just a few extraordinary experts came and used powerful Dao techniques, in three or five days they could build countless large cities.
But could such a city withstand the onslaught of a military campaign
A city wall constructed with Taoist magic would inevitably be easily destroyed by Taoist magic.
A true fortress, every brick must be engraved with a formation pattern. Each formation pattern connects to others, linking all key buildings within the city and harmonizing with the terrain. In this way, the entire city is built into a protective grand formation.

Even the bricks themselves were painstakingly crafted by master artisans. To put it hyperbolically, even a random brick used in a fight would likely be no less effective than an ordinary sword!
Any metropolis is the culmination of a nation's years, even decades, of effort. It takes blood, sweat, and tears to build something so magnificent.
Because building a truly defensible city is so difficult, the fact that the Mo School in Yong Guo erected "Yin Ge" overnight to face off against the Lock Dragon Pass was so astonishing!
When Tai Yin came down from the city tower, his fingers were trembling slightly.

Of course, it wasn't out of fear. Though Jianfeng Mountain was breached in a single day, it did give him a fright. But only for a moment. He had long been mentally prepared for the strength of the Qi people.

Whether it was Chong Xuan Zun at the confluence of the Yellow River or Jiang Qingyang in the Shan Hai Realm, he had already personally experienced...
As the direct descendant of the Tai clan, he naturally saw things more clearly than ordinary people. The opponent of a hegemonic nation is only another hegemonic nation.
His trembling hands were from exhaustion.
For several nights, he toiled tirelessly, meticulously crafting the runes with intense focus. Even for someone as accomplished as him, this grueling process was taking its toll.
The commander's spirit and hard work are all poured into the battle formation.
The past few days' efforts haven't been any easier than a series of life-or-death battles.
But walking on the streets of Tongyang City like this, seeing every hurried footstep, he wished he could hold on a little longer.
The term "tong-yang" refers to "all being within this."
Including him, including every person in the city.
This is a test.
...Uncle Ye Taihua, a true master, traveled all over the country back then, personally repairing and improving every city-protecting magic array. He poured his heart and soul into it, connecting them to the National Protection Array...What kind of feelings did he have
If he were still alive, seeing so many people come from the east today, he would surely be even more resolute than the master of the house...
Thinking these things, he finally walked to Taishi's camp.
All the young and middle-aged men of the Tai clan were here, along with 13,000 soldiers from their families, all gathered in Tongyang City.
Although the camp was huge, it was eerily quiet.
> It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of your own footsteps.

Most of the Tai clan members are still busy repairing their fortifications. Those who are left in camp have come down to rest, and they're all rushing to recover their strength.
This silence.
