Zhuāng Gāoxiàn personally takes command, leading the three armies. General Huángfǔ Duānming leads the vanguard, and State Minister Dù Rúhuì serves as military advisor.

Ye Qingyu lamented, "This time, the Zhuang Nation can be said to have mobilized its entire nation for war. It is by no means a small skirmish. The conflict with Yong Nation has become a fight for survival."

"What's happening at the Qinghe Water Mansion" Jiang Wang asked.

Ye Qingyu frowned: "I don't know, I haven't received any news yet."

But Jiang Wang was already clear that there was no other choice. Since Zhuang Gaoxian had decided to go to war with the entire nation, Qinghe Shuifu naturally would fight again at Lanhe River. If Qinghe Shuifu had any other choices, it should have been razed to the ground before the war began.

According to Jiang Wang's understanding, this time the Zhuang nation would definitely employ a combined land and naval assault. The main battlefront would be crossing the Qi Chang mountain range, tearing through the national border defenses, and directly into Yong country's hinterland. Moreover, they would certainly launch an attack by water route, from Qingjiang River to Lan River.

It's just that I don't know what happened between the Qinghe Shui Fu gradually distancing themselves, refusing to cooperate, and now putting up a fierce fight. Even Zhuang Gaoxian, who has already become a true person, has many ways to suppress the Qinghe Shui Fu...

"What about the Censorate" Jiang Wang asked again.

The former magistrate of Qinghe County's Criminal Investigation Department, Ji Xuan, left quite an impression on him.

"There's no more information for now. It must be that they are all out in force." Ye Qingyu shook her head: "Although Zhuang Gaoxian's battle this time has the momentum to destroy Yong, the gap between the two countries' strengths is obvious, and Zhuang Guo has no room for reservation."

It seems she couldn't understand Zhuang Gaoxian's decision.

It wasn't just that she didn't understand.

Even Ye Lingxiao, and all the major forces in Xijing, including Yong Guo itself, had not anticipated being attacked by Zhuang Guo beforehand.

Zhuang Gao's anger led him to raise his troops, which inevitably made people feel that he was acting rashly.

Jiang Wang had always known that the soldiers of the Zhuang Kingdom were never lacking in courage. When Fenglin City was destroyed, all the city guards from Fang Da Huzi down, including one main general, two deputy generals, and five assistant generals… all died in battle. Among them were Zhao Lang and Wei Yan, whom Jiang Wang knew well. Even the people of the Criminal Investigation Division, who usually weren't clean-handed, from Zhi Si Dan Cha down, either died in natural disasters or at the hands of white bone demons, everyone fought to the death.

Even Lord Governor Wei Quji himself fell in battle above the Governor's Mansion.

But the deaths of those soldiers in the Fenglin City district couldn't be reversed...

Upon hearing the cries of war from the border troops of Zhuang, Jiang Wang couldn't help but be moved. But upon calming down and thinking about it, there were quite a few inconsistencies in this matter.

In this war that Zhuang Guo brazenly launched, Jiang Wang smelled a similar vibe to the Fenglin City incident. It was as if an invisible hand was secretly manipulating everything.

On the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month, when Jiang Wang and his companions ended their contest for the Yun Ding Immortal Palace and left Chiyun Mountain, Zhuang Yong's border troops were still confronting each other on the Qichang Mountains.

The order to withdraw should have been issued on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month. By the 23rd day, the border army of the Zhuang State had withdrawn cleanly under duress.

That day, Jiang Wang only saw the banners of the Yong nation's border army. There was no sign of the Zhuang nation's border army. It can be assumed that at that time, the Yong nation also believed that the Zhuang nation had already submitted and cowered.

And on the same day, he encountered Du Ruhui in the sky above Qichang Mountains. Du Ruhui also warned him, "Don't provoke a fight," and personally escorted him all the way back to Lingxiao Pavilion, communicating with Ye Lingxiao himself. He said it was to probe the attitudes of surrounding forces, fearing that various parties would have bad thoughts about Zhuang Guo's display of weakness this time.

If Ye Lingxiao is not deceiving Ye Qingyu, then he was deceived by Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui was indeed trying to probe the surrounding forces, but he was probably testing whether those forces would influence this national war!

The border troops of the Zhuang State withdrew on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, stating their intention to maintain peace. However, this national war broke out on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Previously, there was nothing but calm. A sudden movement was like thunder rolling through the air.

It would be impossible for Jiang Wang to believe that Zhuang Ting hadn't prepared beforehand.

A military treatise states: “The sovereign should not raise an army in anger, nor the general go to war while irritated.”

Zhuang Gao's ambition was far from being driven by anger.

In the early days of his reign, he launched a military campaign against Yong, which was seen by many as an immature political move at the time. However, it turned out that this very war shattered Yong's facade of strength and suppressed the restless ambitions of their army, bringing peace to the border between Zhuang and Yong for many years.

The State of Zhuang developed peacefully.

When he later hid in the deep palace to recover from his wounds, no matter how much Yong Guo provoked him, did he ever respond

The people of Qin used the land of Chu to ambush and kill Zuo Guanglie. Qin and Chu cultivators fought wantonly within the borders of Zhuang State, and no one from the top to bottom of the Zhuang court spoke out against it. If not for Jiang Wang’s firsthand experience of this event, it would have been impossible to even hear about it.

In Jiang Wang's view, the current national war launched by Zhuang Gaoxian's personal expedition seems to have been carefully planned.

It was not a rash decision, but rather a highly strategic one in accordance with the principle of "act when it is advantageous to do so and refrain from action when it is not."

If there is profit to be gained, then go to war. If there is no profit to be gained, then endure!

From the withdrawal of the border troops from Zhuang State on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month to the outbreak of the national war at Zhuang Court on the 29th, there was a full seven days in between.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, which corresponded to the solar term of "Three Nine" in the year 1837, it was New Year's Eve. Choosing this day was no coincidence. This day is precisely the one that would be least considered, for both the civilian and military populations of Zhuang and Yong were preparing for the Lunar New Year. On a day that should be most peaceful, an unexpected event occurred.

Please note: I only translated the text content within the > tags. The HTML tags themselves were not changed.

A soldier committed suicide on the battlefield, but at the time it didn't cause much of a stir. Later, it suddenly sparked public outrage.

Chen Shikai committed suicide by charging into battle and surprisingly left a suicide note. This suicide note wasn't confiscated immediately but spread throughout the army incredibly quickly.

From the letters of soldiers on the border to the tearful pleas of generals, public opinion has seen a very clear escalation.

Du Ruhui was good at controlling the hearts of the people, comparing them to water and claiming himself to be like the Yellow River Dragon King who could control it. This matter must undoubtedly be Du Ruhui's handiwork.

Zhuang Gaoqian knew to observe small things in order to understand great ones. He schemed against the Yong Kingdom, and Du Ruhui helped him unify the hearts of both his troops and people, making all three armies usable. Truly, this is a case of a powerful sovereign with capable ministers, and a harmonious relationship between ruler and subject.

Jiang Wang's guess remained in his heart, and he didn't tell Ye Qingyu. Most of the time, he was used to carrying things alone.

Seeing Jiang Wang unconsciously fidgeting with his teacup, Ye Qingyu softly said, "Go for a walk. It's been a year already, the phoenix lanterns are very beautiful."

Has this year already... passed

Yes, today is the eve of the new year.

Last night, he and Jiang An'an were at a deserted mountain. Though the world was vast at that time, there were only the two siblings, relying on each other for comfort. That day, he set off fireworks all night for An'an.

Here is the translation:

...And now, he and AnAn both have new friends. They all stay in the peaceful Lingxiao Secret Realm, without worrying about the danger that might catch up at any time. Welcoming the New Year in a happy and harmonious atmosphere...

What day is it today What year is it

Jiang Wang let go of his teacup, pulling up the corners of his mouth: "Good."

"A master should not go to war out of anger, nor attack because of rage." "Act when it is advantageous and refrain from action when it is not."
