Chapter 103.1 Capture Jiang Yanji Alive

The army of Underworld Demons summoned by the Underworld Demon King was wiped out.

The battle where the combined scale of the two sides is far more than one million finally ended. The one with the heaviest casualties was the battle in which Huangfu Xiong led his army to attack Fengling City——Jiang Yanji left a large number of troops to guard Fengling city, to cover her safe retreat.

Huangfu Xiong paid a very heavy price for seizing Fengling City.

Both sides suffer and this is exactly the situation that You Wuming wants to see.

Jiang Yanji abandoned Tiandu and retreated to Jiang state. At this moment, she still has twenty thousand of the most elite Royal Guards, the fifty thousand of the chosen West Battalion Guards, and less than two hundred thousand troops of Forbidden Guards, plus two hundred thousand of Jiang state’s regular army that she took over.

The army led by Wu Baishan to eliminate the Underworld Demon did not turn to Huangfu Xiong. They simply and neatly proceeded northward and headed to the Great Wall——With so many Underworld Demons appearing in the territory, people naturally feel terrified. At this moment, this embarrassed army rushed to the Great Wall to guard the border and waited for the dust to settle in the territory, which happened to be the best choice for them.

The number of soldiers who left with Wu Baishan was about two hundred thousand. Before the overall situation is settled, this army will definitely not help both sides.

“Jiang Yanji made a bad move.” Sang Yuanyuan looked at Fengling City and Tiandu, which are occupied by the Dong state army, with thousands of feelings in her heart.

In fact, it is also due to character. Looking at what Jiang Yanji has done during her years in power, she can see that she is just an ambitionist who is absorbed in playing with power.

At this juncture of internal and external troubles, it is her inevitable choice to do anything she can to keep her throne.

Unfortunately, she underestimated the hatred of the people in the Cloud Realm towards the Underworld Demons. Such hatred, which is deeply engraved in their blood and soul, is enough to make people stand up and fight against the monarchy. Even those soldiers who still stayed by Jiang Yanji’s side had their own thoughts or reluctance and it made them lose their indomitable fighting spirit.

“Jiang Yanji went to Jiang state.” The corner of You Wuming’s lips curled into a wicked smile, “It’s time to spread a rumor now.”

Before nightfall, Jiang Yanji defeated Jiang state, poisoned her elder brother born by concubine, Jiang Xujun the King of Jiang state, to death. The news of her seizing the military power spread all over the sky.

The two hundred thousand regular army of Jiang state were suddenly not of one mind anymore, and everyone felt insecure.

Every moment, there are countless soldiers who secretly fled to nearby states.

If Jiang Yanji wants to refute the rumor, she must hand over Jiang Xujun. The problem is, Jiang Xujun has already been burned into a handful of black ashes by You Wuming. How can she hand him over?

Because of this matter, Jiang Yanji, who is in the Jiang Palace, went bald again. If this rumor cannot be clarified quickly, then Jiang Yanji will become the target of public criticism——In order to seize military power, she even killed her concubine born elder brother. Which state would still dare to support her?

Zhao state, Zhou state and Feng state, which are bordering with Jiang state, have blocked their fortresses and began to garrison their border to prevent Jiang Yanji from ‘visiting’ their home.

At this stage, Jiang Yanji naturally knows who is the real mastermind behind the scenes.

“You Wuming! You Wuming!”

At the thought of Huangfu Jun’s tragic death in the Pearl of Remembrance, Jiang Yanji felt a chill on her back.

If she had known it would come to this day, where would she choose to harm him in a gentle way and imperceptibly? She would have let her army march westward already and directly destroy You Wuming!

Who would have imagined that a mere state prince could achieve this level!

But fortunately, this man has a weakness and a soft spot after all——It’s not that he is not fond of women, but his vision is too high and he despises common and ordinary goods.

Jiang Yanji took a deep breath and clenched the Emperor Seal in her hand.

First, use the life of the Sang family to suppress You Wuming, and then order him to fight Huangfu Xiong and Yun Xuzhou!

……

The elite troops of Yun state’s royal army had arrived in Tiandu, and they joined forces with Dong state to heavily suppress the west side.

The You state also started to move.

The three armies soon occupied the major cities of Jiang state and finally arrived outside the Capital of Jiang.

TN: Pardon me, because I often translate in a hurry (stealing a bit of time here and there in my daily life while running after my two buns or late at night when they are already asleep and I am already sleepy too), I often forget what term I have used. I just realized that actually, Imperial Guards is Forbidden Guards. Sorry for the mistake. I will use Forbidden Guards starting now to differentiate it a little bit with the Royal Guards. I’ve also fixed the recent ones, but if you found chapter parts that I haven’t fixed (still use Imperial Guards), please inform me. Thank you so much for your understanding and help
