I really became a king.

Chapter 422 Conquer
Looking at the package on the tip of Jiang Yuan's spear, several generals in charge felt a little uneasy, as it reminded them of something terrible.

"What's in the bag?" Just as this thought flashed through their minds, Jiang Yuan had already flown several meters away. He shook his spear, and the heavy bag rolled to their feet.

The bundle opened by itself, revealing a round human head inside.

"How dare he..."

"He actually killed Ye Xiangtian!"

"Prince Yi has completely torn his face with Emperor Dali!"

"I'm afraid we will be suppressed by both the Dali Imperial Capital and the Ye family of Bailing in the future."

Several generals looked at the head rolling to the ground in disbelief. They were shocked and filled with endless bitterness.

Now that Ye Xiangtian is dead, these generals who followed the emperor's orders will not be able to escape punishment. They will definitely be hated by the Ye family in Bailing, and their days in the Dali Dynasty will be difficult in the future.

"Alas, Your Highness, why would you do this..." After the leading veteran Yang Liujiao ordered his men to put away Ye Xiangtian's head, he said to Jiang Yi, his words full of bitterness.

"Does your Majesty know what this means?"

Jiang Yi shook his head, unmoved, and said, "Of course I know, but I have no choice, because I have no way to retreat!"

"Why? You want to avenge Ye Xiangtian?"

Yang Liujiao was silent for a while, then said in a hoarse voice: "Ye Xiangtian died in the hands of the prince, and we have no choice, otherwise we will not be able to report to the Emperor of Dali!"

The meaning of these words was very clear. After hearing his words, the more than 100,000 soldiers standing quietly behind Jiang Yi immediately entered a state of combat readiness and drew their swords.

The same was true for the 300,000 troops on the opposite side.

Suddenly, the two sides were on the verge of a war.

However, neither Jiang Yi nor Yang Liujiao was in a hurry to give the order to attack, especially Yang Liujiao, who was a little hesitant.

The 300,000 troops behind him were not the direct descendants of the Bailing Ye family, but they were not his direct descendants either. Instead, they were drawn from various states and put together.

From this point, we can also see that the Ye family of Bailing has great ambitions, because once they completely subdue these 300,000 troops, they will be able to lay a foundation in various states.

With the help of the complicated relationships of these more than 300,000 troops, they can infiltrate the military systems of various states little by little.

But at the same time, these 300,000 troops are currently a loose group and it is difficult to unite them in a short period of time.

Especially when facing Prince Yi, a member of the Dali royal family, Yang Liujiao didn't know how many people were willing to fight for Ye Xiangtian, even if they had the emperor's order.

Jiang Yi gently raised his right hand, and the sound of war horses neighing behind him, which was originally caused by the imminent battle, suddenly stopped, and it became quiet.

The 300,000 troops on the opposite side sighed inwardly at this scene. It can be seen from this that Prince Dali Yi has great prestige in the army. With just a slight gesture, he calmed the restlessness of more than 100,000 troops.

It can also be seen that the army under Prince Yi's Mansion is well-trained and has reached the point where orders are obeyed.

Jiang Yi raised the reins in his hand and said, "The Yang family in Dingzhou Prefecture has nine sons, and eight of them died on the battlefield. They can be called 'a family of loyal heroes'!"

Hearing these words, especially the four words 'a family of loyal heroes', Yang Liujiao couldn't help but feel a little excited, but also bitter.

There were nine sons in the family, eight of whom died on the battlefield. However, after so many years, their Yang family had never been recognized, and even received attacks and criticisms from some people.

As a result, the Yang family was marginalized bit by bit, and they went from being a wealthy family in the army to being a poor family in the army today. As a result, the Yang Mansion in Dingzhou lost its glory.

Over the years, Yang Liujiao has been living a humble and cautious life, not daring to complain, because he has to raise the children left by his eight brothers.

Now, more than 20 years have passed, and with his own hard work, the children of his eight brothers have all grown up. But who would have thought that he would be targeted by the Ye family of Bailing, and a conscription order was issued to conscript him and more than a dozen nephews into the camp.

In this matter, Yang Liujiao was extremely dissatisfied with the Ye family of Bailing, and even had many complaints against the ruler of the Dali Imperial Capital.

Back then, under the leadership of the old man of the Yang family, the nine sons of the Yang family joined the army and followed the old man to the northwestern border, where they fought a desperate battle with the invading army of the Inu-Shi Dynasty.

As the war raged, the Yang Mansion in Dingzhou also completely withered away. Old Master Yang died, and of the nine sons in the family, only Yang Liujiao was left.

The whole family was in mourning, and dozens of orphans and widows knelt outside the gate of Dingzhou city to welcome the coffin, crying their hearts out. Yang Liujiao would never forget that tragic scene.

For more than 20 years, the Yang family has never received official recognition. How could Yang Liujiao not have complaints in his heart?

But now, he heard the words "a family of loyal heroes" from Jiang Yi's mouth, and in front of hundreds of thousands of troops, which was to vindicate the reputation of his Yang family in Dingzhou.

How could Yang Liujiao not be grateful in his heart, but he could only bow and salute Jiang Yi opposite him from a distance. Following him were a dozen figures standing in various places in the army.

This was the only thing he could do, because his Yang Clan in Dingzhou had a family tradition: Never disobey the emperor's orders! They would never betray the Dali Dynasty.

"We are of the same roots, so why are we so eager to fight each other? General Yang said that this is the greatest sorrow of time." Jiang Yi said slowly.

Yang Liujiao's face tensed, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, our ancestors' precepts say that it is really difficult to disobey the emperor's order."

Jiang Yi shook his head and said, "I have heard of the ancestral precepts of the Yang Clan of Dingzhou, but in addition to not disobeying the emperor's orders, there should be four more words: guard the nine borders forever!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Liujiao's face froze. Ever since the decline of the Yang family, he had been deliberately downplaying the last four words for more than 20 years. But now, this Prince Yi had exposed his mistake.

Yang Liujiao remained silent, as if trying to show his determination.

Jiang Yi spoke again, first looking back at the direction of the Demon Realm Pass, and said: "General Yang, and you, do you know what the situation is like at the West Demon Realm Pass right now?"

The generals headed by Yang Liujiao were speechless. They could imagine that at this moment the Western Demon Realm Pass must be engulfed in war. The Xifan and Baiyue Dynasties were launching massive attacks on the pass, and the situation was probably very dangerous.

Yang Liujiao looked at the generals around him, took a step forward and said, "Your Highness has guarded the western border, resisted the invasion of foreign tribes on the border, and protected the peace of the Central Plains. This is a great achievement."

"Although we have the emperor's order, the Western Demon Realm Pass is in danger. We are willing to temporarily withdraw our troops a hundred miles. Your Majesty can lead the troops to support the Western Demon Realm Pass." "As long as the battle at the Western Demon Realm Pass continues, we will never lead our troops forward!"

Jiang Yi smiled. The loyalty and integrity of the Yang Clan in Dingzhou were indeed true. However, this was not what he wanted. Just as he was about to say something, a voice came from not far behind him:
"Mr. Yang is wrong. At this moment, the Western Demon Territory Pass is impregnable. The armies of Xifan and Baiyue Dynasty have been killed and forced to break out to the north along the Western Frontier Corridor. How can they be in imminent danger?"

The voice was passionate, but Jiang Yi always felt that there was something erotic in the words, especially since they came from his second brother Jiang Zhongchi's mouth, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Yes, the ones who said this were the three Jiang brothers who came from the foot of Kongtong Mountain.

Yang Liujiao and other generals on the opposite side, including 300,000 troops, were instantly stunned by Jiang Zhongchi's words. They looked at Jiang Yi, and it was obvious that they had heard about the reputation of the second master of Prince Yi's Mansion.

Jiang Yi just smiled but didn't say anything else.

A random punch can kill a master. Although the second brother Jiang Zhongchi is a playboy, he is not a real fool. It is possible that a random punch can bring unexpected results.

In addition, Jiang Yi understood that if he took over the conversation at this time, his second brother would probably feel extremely uncomfortable, so it would be better to let him express himself freely and beat him up.

"Master Yang and the generals don't believe it?"

The three Jiang Zhongchi brothers had already walked to Jiang Yi's side. When they saw that Jiang Yi did not stop them, their expressions became even more excited. The third brother Jiang Zhongshu, who was following them, wanted to say something, but was glared back by Jiang Zhongchi.

The third brother Jiang Zhongshu laughed dryly and stepped aside to stop checking. On the contrary, the fifth brother Jiang Zhongren kept moving his eyes around, as if he was examining the surrounding environment and the current situation, preparing for the possible fight.

"You know, my Yiwangfu army has already left the Demon Realm Pass to the west, and I think they have already taken control of Black Water Pass and Niangzi Pass!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Liujiao and other generals were shocked, and the 300,000 troops behind them also began to whisper.

Yang Liujiao glanced at the three Jiang Zhongchi brothers, and apart from the strong smell of oppression, he could not see any clues. He then turned his gaze to Jiang Yi and the group of trusted generals around Jiang Yi.

"Could it be true?" He couldn't see any clues from Jiang Yi and the others, especially Jiang Yi, who looked calm and composed, as if he had the overall situation under control.

If what the other party said is true, it will be a feat that will be remembered for all eternity.

Heishui Pass and Niangzi Pass have always been one of the sources of troubles in the nine borders of the Middle-earth Dynasty. During the heyday of the Dali Dynasty, the two passes were once conquered.

But unfortunately, they failed to hold it, and it was taken back by Xifan and Baiyue Dynasties not long after. This also led to endless troubles in the nine borders of Western Xinjiang over the years.

But now, if Prince Yi's Mansion could really capture the two passes, the situation in the entire Western Xinjiang would probably be completely reversed. Of course, the prerequisite is that they can hold on to Heishui Pass and Niangzi Pass.

"Haha, there's more to it than that. Do you know who is the vanguard of my Prince Yi's army?" Jiang Zhongchi looked very high-spirited. Without waiting for Yang Liujiao and the others to react, he spoke directly:

"It's the Korhan cavalry!"

This was another thunderbolt that completely stunned Yang Liujiao and the others. But soon a general refuted them, saying, "Impossible. The Korhan Cavalry has long been a legend and has been extinct for many years. Where did you get the Korhan Cavalry?"

Jiang Zhongchi had obviously put himself in the situation, and said loudly: "Facts speak louder than words. If it weren't for the fact that God is merciful, why would I waste my words here with you? I will definitely let you see the ferocity of the Korhan cavalry!"

"You must understand that it is not my Prince Yi's Mansion that is begging you. On the contrary, I am giving you a way to survive. Otherwise, I can wipe out your army of 300,000 with a simple wave of my hand..."

Jiang Zhongchi spoke in a very orderly and graceful manner at first, but he became more and more excited as he spoke. Now his true colors have been revealed. His words are arrogant and provocative...

He wanted to say something more, but the cautious fifth brother Jiang Zhongren gently pulled his collar. Jiang Zhongchi was quite impatient and wanted to yell at him, but when he saw Jiang Zhongren glaring at him, he immediately came to his senses and thought:
"Oh no, it seems like I have stolen Sixth Brother's limelight! And what I said just now seems to have added fuel to the fire..."

Jiang Zhongchi immediately started to make amends, saying loudly: "I knew you wouldn't believe me. Look, who is that?"

As he said this, he turned around and pointed at the city gate tower of East Demon Realm.

The generals of the Dali Imperial Capital, who had been provoked by him and were already quite furious, subconsciously looked towards the city wall of the East Demon Realm Pass upon hearing his words. When they saw this, they were all stunned.

On the city wall of the Western Demon Realm, amidst the sea of ​​swords and soldiers, a quietly standing figure stood out particularly.

The person was wearing a graceful white dress, which was incompatible with the murderous atmosphere of the Eastern Demon Realm, but it also added a touch of beauty.

"That's right, she is your former general's wife, Ye Xiangtian's wife!"

Jiang Yi frowned, wondering when Madam Ye had climbed up the city wall. At the same time, he felt a little headache. What a "bad fate".

But Jiang Zhongchi's next words immediately made Jiang Yi's face turn gloomy. However, if he hadn't considered saving some face for his second brother in front of others, he would have kicked him out long ago.

Jiang Zhongchi said arrogantly, "But she is no longer Madam Ye. She has turned from evil to good and has become my sixth brother's woman!"

Jiang Yi tried his best to resist the urge to kick him out, his face full of black lines. How could this be called abandoning darkness and joining the light?

Besides, sleeping with someone else's woman was not a glorious thing in the first place, so how could he brag about it in public? Now, I believe it won't take long for Prince Yi's reputation as a lustful man to be fully established.

It's true that if they are not from the same family, they will not enter the same door. Hearing Jiang Zhongchi boasting about his sixth brother's romantic affairs here, the third brother Jiang Zhongshu gently waved the paper fan in his hand, and the fifth brother Jiang Zhongren stood behind Jiang Yi and listened with his chest puffed, both of them looked proud.

Being exposed by his own brother in public, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Jiang Yi felt a little guilty. His face turned red and he was about to stop him.

Unexpectedly, behind him, the entire East Demon Realm Pass erupted in earth-shaking cheers that resounded through the sky.

Jiang Yi was a little confused. What was going on? Was this something worth being happy about?

Especially Jiang Yuan, who was already middle-aged, turned around and waved his fists vigorously at the thunderous cheers, causing the cheers to become louder and louder.

Jiang Yi suddenly felt that he was out of touch with this world. Amid the thunderous cheers, he glanced at the generals around him, but received no response.

Only Fulong, who was always calm, chuckled and said, "After this, the name of 'Zhehua' is well deserved..."

What does this mean? But when Jiang Yi looked at the 300,000 troops on the opposite side, he was a little stunned. Compared with the thunderous cheers behind him, there was a decadent atmosphere on the opposite side.
