"The Farmer's Fat Wife" - Fat Men Are All Potential Stocks (Chapter 27...)
Five years have passed, and realizing that the Qingmu Kingdom's military intervention is about to cool down, the forces surrounding the Qingmu Kingdom are even more nervous than the Qingmu Kingdom itself, especially the Sand Island Heavenly King, who is almost fainting.
The southern lords, with the behemoth that is Qingmu Kingdom, have their throats firmly held, and even if they don't conquer it, they can't develop at all.
The north and Guanzhong regions, on the other hand, faced pressure from Manichaeism. During the conflict in Qi, Manichaeism suffered a setback when its base was raided by the Qingmu Army.
However, they were invincible on other battlefields and quickly captured the capital again, becoming a powerful force no less than that of the Kingdom of Aoki.
Once a powerful force gathers and forms a cohesive force, smaller forces will quickly lose their vitality. Other minor lords, unable to defeat two behemoths, will be forced to fight amongst themselves, attempting to find a glimmer of hope in the cracks.
Now that the Kingdom of Qingmu has finished its period of recuperation and entered a period of active military activity, every small force in the surrounding area is trembling with fear, feeling that they are about to be wiped out.
But to everyone's surprise, Ye Xiqing didn't target any smaller factions; instead, he directly declared war on the equally massive Huangrang Kingdom.
In ancient times, it was important to have a legitimate reason for war; declaring war without cause required finding a justification.
Ye Xiqing had already thought of her reasons: the hatred of having her husband stolen was irreconcilable; if Huangrang Kingdom didn't return her man, she would destroy Huangrang Kingdom!
All the onlookers: ...
666.
As the saying goes, "The six armies wept in mourning, all dressed in white; a crown was lost in a fit of rage for a man's sake," this reason for raising an army is reasonable, very reasonable.
After a moment of shock, the onlookers immediately picked up the melon and began to eat it seriously.
I thought I was going to be used as fodder for criticism, but I didn't expect that this time Aoki's army would be criticizing someone else, and they were going to be criticizing a tough nut to crack.
I'm terrified of being defeated myself. If two major factions were to fight each other, that would be great. It would be good if either of them were crippled.
The surrounding forces instantly transformed from those directly involved into spectators focused solely on the spectacle.
Only Shazhou Tianwang sees enemies everywhere. No, the Green Wood Army's attack on Huangrang Kingdom must be a feint; their real target is definitely him. He won't fall for it!
A joint letter arrived from the Yellow Soil Kingdom, urging him to join forces to attack the Green Wood Kingdom. The Heavenly King of Shazhou was torn between his options.
He was indecisive, and no one dared to offer advice, fearing he might be killed.
Hesitating for a while, the Aoki Army launched a fierce attack on the Huangrang Army.
The situation has changed. Before, she had been developing her strength cautiously, hiding in a corner amidst the struggles of various forces, and her own internal situation was also unstable.
Now that she's developed first, she certainly won't give others the same opportunity to develop as well.
The government troops, huddled together, are like grasshoppers in autumn; the various separatist forces, large and small, are like a heap of loose sand. Only by conquering Huangrang can the world be at peace.
This is not only because it features a male protagonist, but also because of its geographical location and development potential.
The Yellow Soil Kingdom, once it develops, will surely become a major threat; she has no intention of forming a three-way balance of power with anyone.
The Aoki Army announced that it had mobilized a million troops and was pressing on the border, throwing the Yellow Soil Kingdom into chaos.
In their minds, the Aoki Army wouldn't attack them first; they wouldn't pick on the toughest opponent.
Seeing this opportunity, the two sons of the Yellow Earth King immediately jumped out and blamed the male protagonist, saying, "It's all your fault!"
The male protagonist had thought of everything, but he never imagined that one day he would become a "femme fatale".
His good father-in-law was quite reasonable, and of course he scolded his son, saying that he couldn't be blamed for this.
But in this battle, before the fighting even started, the male protagonist had already become the center of attention.
Because of this, the Yellow Soil Army did not initially allow the male protagonist to lead the army. The two sons of the Yellow Soil Heavenly King excitedly demanded military power, only feeling the joy of seizing power, and did not feel at all that the Green Wood Army was difficult to defeat.
They were used to dealing with defeated government troops who would surrender at the first sign of trouble, so they didn't have a good understanding of a regular army like the Aoki Army.
They were confident that they were better than the male lead, but they were just unlucky to get this opportunity to perform, so they wanted to step up immediately.
The Aoki Army has come from afar. They have been established for many years and are waiting in comfort. How could they not win?
Upon reaching the city wall, and seeing the endless expanse of blue flags surging like a tide, his eyes widened in astonishment.
Ancient city walls were high and offered a good view, allowing one to clearly see swarms of soldiers rushing in like ants, their ears ringing from the shouts of battle.
Not long after, news came that the two young masters had been defeated and chased to the city by the Qingmu Army. No matter how much the Yellow Earth King resented his sons for being useless, they were still his own sons, so he hurriedly asked the male protagonist to come to their rescue.
Even if the protagonist is a war genius, he's not a god. What can he do when two idiots lead the main force to their doom, boosting the morale of Aoki's army?
But being dependent on others, one has no choice but to obey orders and grit one's teeth.
The male protagonist is actually thirty-nine years old now. When he was in his twenties, he was a young general in white robes who was invincible in battle. At thirty-nine, he is a middle-aged man whose physical functions are destined to decline and who is gradually entering a period of decline.
He's almost forty and still hasn't outlived his father-in-law, constantly cleaning up after his brother-in-law. It's really pitiful; Ye Xiqing felt sorry for him.
Despite feeling sorry for him, Ye Xiqing had no intention of letting him go. The moment she saw the male lead, she immediately waved her command flag and mobilized her troops to surround and annihilate him.
Upon seeing the command message, Muna immediately led her team to rush forward.
In recent years, the Kingdom of Qingmu has been recruiting people from both neighboring countries and foreign countries. Muna is a newly recruited foreign general.
She was young and strong, like a yak, and collided violently with the male protagonist.
Perhaps due to Ye Xiqing's leading role, many members of the Green Wood Army liked to use spiked clubs, which were not only long weapons but also heavy and powerful. Nothing was better at breaking through armor than blunt weapons.
The protagonist's invincible journey came to an end for the first time.
He fought with Muna for a long time, but before they could achieve anything, the new Qingmu Army soldiers rushed over, replaced Muna, and let her rest on the sidelines, with the new soldiers taking her place.
Without any extraordinary strategy, numbers are an absolute advantage. A massive army surges in like a tide, encircling the enemy. People are everywhere, and the fighting is done in shifts. Some kill men, some kill horses, and those who fall behind are slaughtered.
The protagonist charges left and right, trying to break through the Aoki army's defenses and give the people inside the city a chance to escape.
Faced with such a large army besieging the city, and having no clever tricks, the only option was to take advantage of the gaps in the encirclement when reinforcements arrived, allowing the troops inside to break out and escape from all sides.
But the soldiers inside were led by two pigs. When they went out and saw the horde of Aoki's army, they were instantly terrified and retreated after a few attacks.
Not to mention becoming the vanguard in breaking through the siege, many rear guards were afraid of being killed by Aoki's army, so they didn't bother to care about them and simply closed the city gates.
Male lead: Huh?
Even the best teammates can't carry two terrible ones. If they get dragged into this mess, his team will be caught in the crossfire too. The protagonist has no choice but to order: "Retreat!"
He'd already taken the bait, so there was no reason to let him come for nothing. The Aoki Army launched a swift attack, inflicting heavy losses on the protagonist's team.
The male protagonist is known as the invincible war god in the Yellow Soil Army. This title brings him the greatest prestige, but also enormous pressure.
A god cannot show his health bar; maintaining an undefeated record makes him a war god. Once he is defeated, he reveals his vulnerability.
Huang Rangtianwang became a father before becoming a king, which immediately raised questions. He usually says he values his son-in-law, but at crucial moments he also feels sorry for his son.
Is it because you don't have a good relationship with my son that you're not trying your best to rescue him?
When the soldiers and civilians of Huangrang Kingdom heard that their invincible war god had been defeated, the sky seemed to have fallen.
If even the invincible war god was defeated, how strong must the Aoki Army be?
In an instant, all the miracles of Aoki Tenno came to mind. She received guidance from the Goddess of Mount Tai and prophesied a flood.
She said that the world is in chaos because of disrespect for the mother who gave birth to her, and those who are not protected by the goddess will suffer misfortune.
Before encountering Aoki Tenno, the undefeated war god was always victorious, but after meeting Aoki Tenno, he suffered defeat after defeat.
Is it truly fate that she is destined for good, and that there is no good end for those who oppose her?
The people who were defeated were filled with fear and anxiety, and the instigation of certain individuals amplified the consequences of this defeat.
In fact, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Winning and losing are both normal things. The protagonist's defeat had many reasons, and it was not the main reason at all. But some people just don't have room for error in defeat, after all, he was just a son-in-law.
This is why Ye Xiqing took this opportunity to attack Huangrang Kingdom. There's no way she would wait until the male protagonist's father-in-law died before attacking him.
Actually, Huangrang Tianwang was also near death, yet he still played such a great role for her before he died. We are truly grateful.
Amidst the internal strife in Huangrang, Ye Xiqing had already breached the city walls and captured the two heirs of the Huangrang Heavenly King.
Ye Xiqing instructed his men: "Feed them well and treat them well, then push them to the front lines to challenge the enemy."
The two princes still wanted to remain defiant to the death, so Ye Xiqing beckoned them and said, "Give them a piece of meat." The two princes immediately agreed, crying and begging for mercy.
The siege will be easy from now on. Just tie the two men to the flagpole and push them to the front of the battle line. Let's see who dares to shoot arrows.
Manichaeism had long been entrenched in the north and wielded considerable power; no one had ever imagined it would be so easy to defeat.
With the Crown Prince tied to the front lines, the ordinary guards dared not open the city gates or fire arrows.
The male protagonist really wanted to say, "Just shoot them all dead," but he definitely couldn't say that, especially since the Yellow Soil King was on edge.
As he found himself in a dilemma, so did the protagonist's subordinates. Then someone suggested that they should take out the Yellow Earth King.
The male protagonist naturally disagreed; after all, that was his father-in-law, who had shown him great kindness and support, how could he do such a thing!
His subordinates immediately advised, "General, you treat the Heavenly King as your father-in-law, but the Heavenly King does not regard you as family. If you continue to be fooled by these father and son, the entire Yellow Soil Kingdom will be in imminent danger!"
Just as the male protagonist was pondering the matter and unable to make a decision, perhaps as if by divine intervention, the Yellow Earth King suddenly died.
Heaven can bear witness, it really wasn't him, but could Ye Xiqing sit idly by? He immediately spread rumors that he had murdered his father-in-law, disturbing the peace of the people.
The male protagonist must have thought that he would immediately ascend the throne and restore the country, and that even if there was endless debate about whether he had murdered his father-in-law, it would not affect him.
However, Ye Xiqing clearly wouldn't give him a chance to salvage the country, leading his army deep into the west, driving him westward bit by bit.
After being suspected of murdering his father-in-law, the protagonist of Huangyang Middle School had many complaints about him. He dared not trust anyone, and his most trusted troops, like him, were getting old.
When he first started the uprising in the army, he made a bold statement that he would take everyone back to their hometown. After gaining momentum, he also wanted to recruit some of the elders from Jiangdong to replenish the army.
But by the time he gained momentum, there were no elders from Jiangdong left, only women from Jiangdong, who were still beating them hard.
His hometown, which should have been the place that supported him the most, has now completely cut off all contact with him. In an instant, the protagonist felt like a piece of duckweed adrift.
While the male lead was feeling melancholy, Ye Xiqing wasn't idle either.
Upon receiving intelligence from Huang Rang's army, Ye Xiqing realized that the male protagonist was feeling homesick. After thinking for a moment, she decided to find someone to sing a Chu song for him.
The army of Qingmu Kingdom pursued relentlessly, closing in step by step, and cornered the male protagonist in the old capital of Li Dynasty.
What appears to be a routine annexation battle is actually the final showdown.
