Peace Order-Chapter 1458 - 132: The Aging Azure Dragon, the Mad Tiger
The public opinion in all directions is in constant conflict.
Because of this, Chen Dingye was furious, extremely angry and unwilling. Looking at the geographical map, although Chen Country occupied part of the northern Ying Country’s territory, that area originally belonged to Chen Country decades ago.
But due to Qin Wu Hou Li Guanyi, they completely lost control of the southwest, also losing the critically important waterway. Although the loss was not particularly large because the southwest was not very obedient to begin with.
However, the significance of waterway transportation and logistics is extraordinary.
For both Chen Country and Ying Country, the waterway is very important but not the core.
Unlike Li Guanyi, the waterway could almost invigorate all his territories. With the waterway, the transformation of Li Guanyi’s power further stoked the anxiety in Chen Dingye’s heart, almost raising a surge of fury.
The transformation and gains of Li Guanyi made Chen Dingye even more unwilling and angry than the loss of territory.
Henceforth, Chen Country will be completely sandwiched between Qin Wu Hou and Ying Country, faintly resembling a dragon with its tail cut off, no longer having the grandeur of the past, showing instead a trend of decline gradually.
With disheveled hair and bare feet, Chen Dingye paced back and forth in the palace.
The huge geographical map hung before him, and with his insight, he understood that if Ying Country now finds itself in a situation where the populace is somewhat exhausted and needs rest and recuperation to plan for great events.
Chen Country really has no chance in the world.
The reason why it hasn’t been destroyed yet. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Is simply because the foundation of a great country still exists.
Like Qin Wu Hou and Jiang Su, such famous generals, would wage war. Even if Chen Country has more losses than wins here, by holding a desperate defense, Qin Wu Hou and Jiang Su would eventually be dragged down by their own army’s logistics and the troop losses from contending with Chen Country.
Although, by that time, Chen Country would face the same fate.
But, as a great power, Chen Country is enough to pull the other two into an endless vortex. It has no possibility of realizing the ambition and dream of a unified Great Chen, but it can use its carcass to shatter the dreams of the other two lords together, pulling them into a swirling death together.
If I cannot succeed, neither will you!
But such an outcome is something Chen Dingye absolutely cannot endure.
Forced by Li Wanli’s son to use the ancestral foundation and the three-hundred-year mandate to drag the opponent to death, using the blood and bones of ancestors, and the common people and soldiers to wear down the opponent, it is simply disgraceful to the point of being ridiculed by everyone in the world.
Chen Dingye’s heart felt gnawed by fierce poison, both angered and unwilling, stinging with various emotions.
He couldn’t help but cry out to the sky, gnashing his teeth and feeling a pain deep in his heart!
"Li Wanli, oh Li Wanli, you have a good son, you have a good son... If back then I was ruthless enough and lucky enough to burn your son along with you on that night, there wouldn’t have been such a situation, that would have been great."
"The Sword Madman wouldn’t have a breakthrough, Jiangnan would still be in chaotic battle, and the Western Regions would have completely fallen to my brother. Our strategies should have succeeded to completely reverse the declining trend of Great Chen, if it weren’t for you, if it weren’t for your son!"
"You deserve death, you both, father and son, deserve death!"
"Flattering minister, flattering minister!"
"If the ruler wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, why don’t you die, why don’t you die, why still like a shadow, entangle here!!!"
Chen Dingye, barefooted, with disheveled hair, paced back and forth in the palace with a lamp in hand, muttering to himself— Chen Fubi’s death completely severed his strategy, and Chen Wenmian seemed to have truly invested in the Qilin Army.
These two events were enough to have a huge impact on Chen Dingye.
One is the decision of a hero breaking the pots and sinking the boats to completely collapse.
Another is the failure of the longing to resurrect the Great Chen from the ashes.
Plus Lu Youxian’s suicide, the loss of the Western Heroic City, the entire waterway falling under the control of Qin Wu Hou, and the betrayal of the Yue Family Army; each of these events, like sharp blades, made all he had done come back to him in this moment.
Let alone someone like Chen Dingye who was influenced by Tantai Xianming in the past.
Even a true towering hero might not be able to maintain their mental state and nature as before under such a series of impacts, and Chen Dingye’s mental state was faintly on the verge of madness.
It’s as if Qiongqi’s blood was becoming ever purer.
When he looked at his son, now Crown Prince Chen Tianyi, watching the two-year-old son lying on his lap and playing with his hair, while being affectionate, he even had an impulse to wrap his hand around the child’s neck and twist and break that tender and adorable neck.
Chen Dingye was angry and fearful of this impulse.
He hadn’t gone to see Chen Tianyi in this period of time, under the impact of the world’s great trend and the influence of practicing the royal family’s secret Divine Skill, Chen Dingye’s character became increasingly uncontrollable.
He looked at the geographical map but seemed to already see the future of the world, to see the end of the world.
Ritual Eunuch occasionally walked past the palace, hearing His Majesty’s low laughter.
The sound of the sword singing long in the sword scabbard, emitting bursts of murderous sobs, could be heard.
And in such a situation, a secret envoy came from the northern grassland, the Great Khan of the Turkic peoples, who is the second Divine General in the world, the strongest cavalry commander in the world, and they once joined forces to defeat the spearhead of Ying Country.
