Translated by: Hypersheep325

Rumble!

The earth swayed and shuddered as tens of thousands of cavalry appeared in a row, charging toward the Andong Protectorate headquarters like a tsunami . Their tens of thousands of cold, red eyes, devoid of any emotion, were like things out of one’s deepest nightmares .

So many Yeluohe gathered together, their intimidating energy fused together, even managed to produce heavenly phenomena . Rumble! As these Yeluohe approached the Andong Protectorate headquarters, black clouds gathered and followed the Yeluohe in their advance .

Powerful!

Cold!

Unstoppable!

These were the feelings the Yeluohe warriors gave to the Youzhou generals . Moreover, it seemed that once there were enough Yeluohe, they evolved to a new level of power .

And not only that…

Creee!

In the very front, a powerful Yeluohe that was more than three meters tall savagely howled and charged out of the snowstorm .

Clang!

The giant Yeluohe raised up his spear, and as his war horse stepped forward, a silver halo flickering with white flames instantly erupted from its feet and spread to the entire army .

White halos swiftly spread to all of the Yeluohe, making them appear more frightening than even devils .

Halo?

The leader of the Yeluohe?

At this moment, let alone the ordinary Youzhou cavalry, even An Yaluoshan and Gao Shang were dumbfounded .

This last batch of Yeluohe from Genesis Supreme was far too powerful . They had never known that these inhuman Yeluohe could also have a leader .

Boom!

A few moments later, the twenty thousand Yeluohe cavalry stopped in unison around ten thousand feet away from the Andong Protectorate headquarters, all of their eyes slowly turning toward An Yaluoshan .

Silence!

Absolute silence!

At this moment, all time in the region of Youzhou seemed to have stopped . Even the six hundred thousand Youzhou soldiers had fallen silent .

“An energy that can swallow up the world and the ability to strictly follow orders! Incredible! Truly incredible!”

Tian Qianzhen looked down from the walls, his eyes wide open in disbelief .

The twenty thousand Yeluohe were extremely powerful, and with the strict discipline they showed, let alone the Great Tang, they could conquer the world!

“Congratulations, Your Excellency! Congratulations!”

Tian Qianzhen immediately got down on his knees in front of An Yaluoshan .

“Congratulations, Your Excellency! Congratulations!”

Cui Qianyou, Tian Chengsi, and all the other Youzhou generals kneeled as well .

Even Gao Shang had prostrated .

He had to admit that this batch of Yeluohe was far more powerful than he had imagined .

“Congratulations, Your Excellency! Congratulations!”

Upon seeing what was going on, all the Youzhou soldiers got on their knees, their voices resounding .

“Hahaha!”

Seeing this vast army, particularly the powerful Yeluohe, An Yaluoshan felt pride swell up in his heart, along with boundless ambition, and his eyes exploded with light .

“Good! With these Yeluohe, what can I not accomplish? All we need to wait for now is a shift in the heavens . Wang Chong, you won’t be able to get cocky for too long!”

An Yaluoshan looked toward the south, his laugh resounding across the heavens .

……

Several days went by, and putting aside Youzhou, far away in the capital, at the King of Foreign Lands Residence…

“Your Highness, the northwest is settled . The Western Turks fought a fierce battle with the Eastern Turks, and the Eastern Turks were caught totally unprepared and suffered heavy casualties . Ozmish Khagan is enraged and has already begun to gather his army for a counterattack . Barshad was wounded, but his life is in no danger . At present, the Western Turks have engaged in a strategic retreat . Barshad has sent a letter asking for what he should do next . ”

Zhang Que respectfully offered a letter .

Zhang Que felt sincere admiration for Wang Chong . With one trip to the north, he had completely overturned the Turkic steppe .

After attacking the Eastern Turks, Barshad had no path of retreat . This was his show of loyalty to the Great Tang .

“Have him retreat!”

Wang Chong lightly sipped on his cup of tea before casually saying, “As for the food promised, send it over!”

To combine kindness with might was the way to control one’s subordinates . Although Wang Chong had ordered Barshad to attack the Eastern Turks to ensure that he could not back out, he had also promised him food to resolve the Western Turks’ crisis .

At this moment, Minister of War Zhangchou Jianqiong spoke in his deep and steady voice, appearing somewhat worried . “Wang Chong, the Hu are not our people, and have different cultures and customs . Can this Barshad really be trusted?

“What if they betray us during a battle? The results would be unimaginable!”

It wasn’t just Zhangchou Jianqiong in the hall . King Song, Wang Chong’s father Wang Yan, his big uncle Wang Gen, Beacon General Jiang Yunrang, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Personnel, Inner Court Eunuch Director Li Jingzhong…

Almost all the factions of the Imperial Court had gathered here .

Everyone turned to Wang Chong to see his response .

Wang Chong sipped his tea and confidently said, “Relax! Nothing will happen!”

This war would decide the fate of the Central Plains and its millions of people . With so much on the line, he would never act on emotion and bet everything on Barshad’s loyalty .

“Barshad already proposed moving all of the Western Turks’ livestock and their old, young, women, and infirm into our interior, with only the warriors remaining in the north . In addition, the food we’ve given them is only enough to sustain them for the short term!” Wang Chong indifferently said .

Everyone in the hall was astonished by the news .

Barshad had proposed it on his own?

This new Western Turkic Khagan was truly a wonderful person!

With this, the Great Tang’s troubles in the rear were completely resolved .

Wang Chong took in their reactions and smiled .

Barshad truly was an interesting person . He had heard that Barshad had read ‘Righteous Individuals and Important Political Figures’ and had further studied the histories of the Central Plains, and if his proposals were anything to go by, he had not read those books in vain .

Barshad trusted in Wang Chong and the Great Tang, and knew what the Great Tang was thinking, so he took the first steps to resolve the Great Tang’s concerns about its rear . In this aspect, Barshad truly was different from his father . He was sincere in siding with the Great Tang .

Thus, Wang Chong did not mind trusting in Barshad .

“This is wonderful . This lowly one has never doubted Your Highness’s ability!” Li Jingzhong suddenly said, glancing at the others .

He had come representing Li Heng, and this statement was an acknowledgment of Wang Chong’s abilities .

“…This lowly one and His Majesty are still concerned about An Yaluoshan in the northeast . Your Highness, what should be done?” Li Jingzhong said .

“A report has come from Youzhou saying that an additional twenty thousand Yeluohe have appeared in the Andong Protectorate headquarters . In addition, his army of six hundred thousand soldiers should be done training soon . In ten-some days, he should start sending out his soldiers . ”

Wang Chong squinted as he lightly divulged a heaven-shaking piece of news .

“This! Your Highness!”

Ten-some days!

So fast?!

“Your Highness, are those Yeluohe really so formidable?” a major official uneasily asked .

“They truly are not something an ordinary person can contend with, but I have made plans . Gentlemen, please rest easy,” Wang Chong calmly said .

After pausing for a moment, he continued, “Xu Keyi, how is the training of the various armies going?”

“Your Highness, the Mo Saber Unit, the Wushang Cavalry, the Divine Martial Army, the Divine Prison Army, the Xuanwu Army… all of the elite armies will be done training in ten-some days . As for the ordinary soldiers, although they have been put through intense training, it was rather rushed, so it still might not be enough,” admitted Xu Keyi, standing behind Wang Chong .

Wang Chong turned pensive .

With each passing day, An Yaluoshan grew stronger and stronger . The best solution was to attack before he was ready, but this was a war of grave importance . An Yaluoshan already had thirty thousand powerful cavalry that could take mortal injuries without dying, whose strength was far above that of ordinary soldiers .

Without the elite armies like the Mo Saber Unit or Wushang Cavalry, the Great Tang would find it very hard to contend against Youzhou and its allies .

But Wang Chong and An Yaluoshan were racing against time .

“Wang Chong, regarding the two battlefields, have you already decided?” Zhangchou Jianqiong said .

Wang Chong nodded and sternly said, “Mm . The forward base in the northeast and Wushang in the northwest are the best two battlefields, and they are also the best two places to intercept them . Dalon Trinling is a poisonous snake, and the longer he lurks, the more dangerous he becomes . However, no matter how many modifications are made, one cannot change the root . Ü-Tsang’s manpower remains his greatest weakness . No matter what, he cannot be allowed to join with the alliance army in the northeast . The consequences would be unthinkable . ”

They had already discussed the upcoming war multiple times, but in the end, they had followed Wang Chong’s decision and chosen Wushang and the forward base .

Dalon Trinling was too dangerous . No one understood this more than Wang Chong .
