To be honest, I suddenly have a feeling that none of the feudal lords are worthy of the title. It's like each lord has their strengths and weaknesses, including Tian Guang.
[I agree, perhaps because we're seeing things from God's perspective. The State of Tian has many old, wealthy families, but reforms are difficult, and the poor struggle to survive. The ruler of Jin is decent and listens to advice, but his military strength is insufficient, his position is unfavorable, and he's surrounded, so he seems to have little future. The State of Wei is barren, easy to defend but difficult to attack, has few nobles, but is poor. Its capital is somewhat similar to Tian's, with many wealthy nobles, but like Jin, it's surrounded by the sea on three sides, with no way to retreat, and is also surrounded by three other states—it's a case of either advance or retreat.]
Qiao Nu listened to the new king's teasing and smiled apologetically, but a moment of confusion flashed through her mind.
The new king is good; she is someone who was born to live at the center of power. However, she is a monarch who was born into a position of power. In her eyes, there are no men or women, only useful and useless.
The new king wants both the wealth in Lady Cai's hands and the power of other aristocratic families. Just like Tian Guang, who was ridiculed, in the eyes of those in power, players can be changed at the poker table, but the players cannot be those in the lower ranks.
Qiao quickly composed herself. She had already become a member of the upper echelons. No matter who became the emperor, she had to survive, even if it meant just standing by the table watching the game. She didn't want to become an ant being manipulated at the table.
[Congratulations to Tian Guang for once again obtaining the Master-Apprentice Three-Piece Set - Flowing River. Plains are gone, but with Flowing River, it's unbeatable.]
The master craftsman never expected that after retiring from the world, his apprentices would one after another insist on going out to their deaths.
Do you think the old master's prediction was accurate?
You said that prophecy said the Zhou family would rule the world in the future?
[I don't think it's accurate. The Zhou family has almost been wiped out. The rest have disappeared somewhere. Besides, Pingyuan and Chuanliu, knowing their master's prophecy, are still following Tian Guang; aren't they just courting death?]
I also think it's impossible. I guess the old master's prediction was wrong, which is why they chose Tian Guang, who came from a slave background.
[After reading the updated section, I'm a bit moved. No wonder those small fry in the past always found a powerful figure with the same surname to endorse them when they started out. After claiming to be someone important, it turns out that people from the lower class needed a powerful backer to even get to the top. Look at Tian Guang, he didn't hide his slave background, and as a result, he was surrounded and attacked by three powerful figures.]
[I find this a bit heavy-hearted. Those in lower positions can become the tools of those in higher positions, capable of murdering their lords, yet they cannot sit at the card table. What kind of logic is this?! No wonder some people say, "Are kings and generals born with a special destiny?!"]
The upper echelons will prioritize eliminating those who shouldn't even be in their circle. They're already divided and sabotaging each other, yet they instinctively band together at this time—it's truly laughable!
[This is too tragic. Tian Guang has fought several battles, but failed each time. His win-loss record is already quite impressive. However, the three kingdoms are united, and the new king is not launching any surprise attacks. It feels like Tian Guang has reached his limit by now.]
【What?! The State of Jin has fallen?! How could this be?!】
[It's Lady Cai!!! Holy crap, I thought Lady Cai would end up with the new king, but she actually colluded with Tian Guang from the inside?! This is truly unexpected!!!]
[Wait, aren't all the other aristocratic families refusing to help Tian Guang? Why is Madam Cai so willing to help him?!]
The reason they didn't help was because the Wu Kingdom, founded by Tian Guang, didn't have any noble titles; everything was based on military merit. Other nobles enjoyed generations of wealth and honor, so why would they support Tian Guang?
Lady Cai felt she had no choice; her contact with the new king had been exposed, and she faced a choice between killing her husband or being killed by him. Therefore, she chose to cooperate with Tian Guang to kill her husband and the state of Jin.
[Mrs. Cai is truly decisive; it's really unexpected.]
"It's truly unbelievable that he would mingle with slaves."
The new king originally intended to sit back and watch the two sides fight, since there was the state of Jin between the capital and the state of Wu. However, the situation has now reversed, and the state of Wu is now directly threatening the capital.
Tian Guang was not like those feudal lords; he committed regicide.
She needed to unite with the other two countries, fearing that Tian Guang might act rashly and attack the capital, at which point she would be unable to control the feudal lords.
"Prepare a generous gift and present it to Tian Guang's deputy general."
When a poor person suddenly becomes rich, wealth can easily tempt them, and she didn't believe that the Wu Kingdom was internally unbreakable.
If they remain unmoved, it must be because they haven't given enough.
"Prepare more. He doesn't need to do much. Just reveal some information, and it won't be difficult."
[They won, but the river is gone. Tian Guang's battles take too much of his strategists.]
[Hahaha, didn't you see how despicable Chuanliu was? He actually lured out Tian Guo's capable strategist and then killed him.]
[It's really unexpected; they're at war, how did they manage to meet up so easily?]
Their advisors probably assumed they had connections with each other, and that the fate of the nation wouldn't affect their friendships. After all, who knows when they might need another advisor's recommendation for a job?
It seems that no era can escape the cycle of being a wage slave ε=(′ο｀*))) Sigh.
[It seems Tian Guang could just go to the capital and kill the emperor.]
Why kill the emperor? Wei is poor, Tian is rich, and their capitals are strong. We should definitely seize Tian first! (*^▽^*)
[Agreed, we've been fighting for so long, it's time to replenish our supplies. After all, you have the food, I have the guns, your base is my granary O(∩_∩)O haha~]
[I was hoping to see Wu and the capital clash head-on, but you all support attacking Tian first?! A bunch of idiots!!!]
