Jiang Yunhao Returns to Jiang Yun

The capital of Xia Hua Nation Xinyang.

Although the war with Shu Han was still ongoing, the daily casualties actually depended on whether there were any Aristocratic Clan families within their sphere of influence.

Recently, all the Huijia Family members on the front lines have died, so the fighting between the two sides has tacitly stopped, and they have entered a brief period of peace.

Both leaders seized this brief period of peace and began to declare themselves emperors.

On Xia Hua's side, Yang Guo prayed to Imperial Heaven, Queen Earth, officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself Emperor, naming the country Xia. He appointed Chen Ke as Left Prime Minister, Zhong Li as Right Prime Minister, Little Dragon Girl as Empress, and Mochou as Imperial Consort, and also held a wedding ceremony with Little Dragon Girl and Mochou.

In the Shu Han region, Liu Bei prayed to Imperial Heaven, Queen Earth, and formally ascended the throne as Emperor, establishing the Han dynasty. He appointed Zhuge Liang as Prime Minister, Madam Gan as Empress, Madam Mi as Imperial Consort Concubine, and Liu Shan as Crown Prince.

He was not the first person in the Ming Dynasty to declare himself emperor. The first person to declare himself emperor was Zhang Shicheng, but he had a bad reputation and no great ambitions, so his old subordinates were unwilling to follow him.

Under his slogan of "the first battle is the decisive battle," the dynasty quickly perished.

Once someone started it, others followed suit, and thus the Great Tang, Yuan, Ming, Great Song, Great Han, Great Wei, Great Yan dynasties rose up one after another.

Add to that characters from various places like Li Hanyi, Zhang Sanfeng, Hong Qigong, and Xie Xiaofeng, and if a time traveler were to arrive at this moment, they would probably think they had entered a martial arts world.

Xinyang Imperial City was very prosperous, covering an area of more than 300 acres. It had pavilions and gardens, and all kinds of exotic flowers and trees. There were also fine horses from the Northern Plains, antelopes from Western Splendor, unicorns from the Man Family, and golden tigers from Eastern Victory in pairs.

However, this was not due to Yang Guo's extravagance. This garden belonged to a local aristocratic Aristocratic Clan. Later, the Aristocratic Clan was purged, and the garden became part of the imperial city.

In the center of the garden, the ancestral hall of a once- Aristocratic Clan has been transformed into the imperial palace, named the Taihe Hall, where Xia Hua usually handles his political affairs.

Although they declared themselves emperors and established a nation, Xia Hua lacked any formal court assemblies or similar systems, which were meaningless except for arguing.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, government affairs were first submitted to the respective departments for processing. If the departments could not handle the matter, it would be submitted to the Left and Right Prime Minister.

Zhong Li has governed Liyue for 3,700 years, and his governing ability is beyond doubt.

Many people may not be familiar with Chen Ke; he comes from another world.

At this moment, only the three of them were sitting in the spacious hall. Yang Guo was at the head of the table, holding a mobile phone and wearing headphones, clearly not doing anything important.

Zhong Li and Chen Ke were handling the affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty, their hands moving swiftly and skillfully, holding stacks of documents in their hands.

A secretary jogged to the front of the hall, knocked on the door, and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Left and Right Prime Minister, Jiang Yunhao, Commander of the Third Army, request an audience!"

"Jiang Yunhao?" Zhong Li looked up at Yang Guo at the head of the table, then nodded. "Bring him in!"

"Yes!" The secretary nodded and left.

Before long, a handsome young man with short hair, dressed in a dark blue military uniform, entered the main hall.

After saluting the three men, the young man said softly, "Your Majesty, our army now holds a significant advantage on the battlefield of Linyang, and with military academies continuously training talent in the rear, may I now leave?"

"This..." Yang Guo stroked his chin, frowning, and said, "Jiang Yunhao, have you suffered some injustice in my Great Xia?"

"No!" Jiang Yunhao quickly shook his head, then glanced at Zhong Li beside him and said, "With my teacher here, who would dare to wrong me? I just feel that although Great Xia is good, it is ultimately not my hometown. I eat well and dress warmly here, but when I think of the common people of Jiang Yun still living in dire straits, I can't even sleep well at night!"

"Your Majesty, please grant me permission to return to my hometown!" Jiang Yunhao knelt on one knee. "The people of Jiang Yun need me too!"

Yang Guo let out a long sigh and asked, "Have you thought about what you'll encounter when you return to your hometown? There won't be Lord Hengming there to support you. You might face experts at the Qi Refining Tenth Level, or even those at the Spiritual Law Realm. Your career might fail just as it begins. Even so, you still want to leave?"

Jiang Yunhao nodded. "There are countless reasons to stay, but one reason to leave is enough. I know this is a difficult path, but I must take it. After all, I am the only one who can save Jiang Yun! If I am not willing to save her, who else can I expect?"

"In that case!" Yang Guo nodded. "I understand!"

"Then you—" Jiang Yunhao's eyes widened—"You agreed?"

Yang Guo shook his head. "Say goodbye to your master!"

Zhong Li was speechless. "You're the one who took me in as your disciple, yet you're trying to pin it on me!"

However, he was indeed very satisfied with his disciple Jiang Yunhao. Jiang Yunhao had good talent in cultivation, and was able to catch up with the Spirit Realm cultivator who had cheated his way to power as a mortal. He was also very talented in military strategy. Although he had Jiang Yunhao's support, without his own strength, he would not be able to hold the position of military commander.

What's even more remarkable is that despite gaining power, he remained humble, actively recruited talented individuals, and did not form a clique around Jiang Yun within the Third Army.

Moreover, he did not forget his roots and did not forget his brothers Jiang Yun who were still suffering just because he became the commander.

Over the past decade or so, he has saved nearly 300,000 Jiang Yun slave!

Of course, his uprightness and kindness are also inseparable from the guidance of several good teachers. At first, Yang Ning impersonated Zhong Li, but later, it was indeed Zhong Li himself who taught Jiang Yunhao.

He got up, pulled Jiang Yunhao into a side hall, and imparted some of his experience in fighting and governing the country.

On the other side, Chen Ke and Yang Guo exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads again.

Although they were still processing documents, they were communicating through the Spirit Realm in each other's eyes.

"Isn't it too early now?" Chen Ke asked. "He's only at the Qi Refining Fourth Level, the Mana Realm. Although Jiang Yun's side has few high-level cultivators, they still have no shortage of the Spiritual Law Realm cultivators!"

"Taiheng is currently preoccupied with its own problems, and Jiang Yun's influence has weakened considerably!" Yang Ning laughed. "With Taiheng's influence weakened, Tianyi Sect will naturally fill the gap. Tianyi Sect doesn't want to see a peaceful Jiang Yun, so they will definitely try to create trouble for Jiang Yun's local forces. I think Jiang Yunhao is a good candidate for support!"

Chen Ke nodded, understanding the reasoning behind it.

Jiang Yun's forces consist of four groups: Taiheng Sect, Tianyi Sect, Myriad Gods Hall, and Great Luo Sect.

Previously, the Taiheng Sect and the Tianyi Sect were of equal power, and although the Myriad Gods Hall and the Great Luo Sect attacked each other, they were generally equal internally.

However, their internal equality does not align with the interests of the Taiheng Sect Tianyi Sect.

The logic should be simple: the best subordinates are the ones who fight amongst themselves.

Previously, Taiheng and Tianyi kept an eye on each other, preventing either from causing trouble. Now that Taiheng is internally unstable, it's almost certain they will withdraw from Jiang Yun. It's foreseeable that the future of Jiang Yun will belong to the Tianyi Sect.

However, the Tianyi Sect could not directly confront the Myriad Gods Hall's Great Luo Sect, so the best solution was naturally to support a force that was constantly causing trouble within the Myriad Gods Hall and Great Luo Sect!

If Jiang Yunhao is smart enough, he can use the support of the Tianyi Sect to continuously strengthen himself.

It's hard to strike the right balance here, but Jiang Yunhao is an elite talent jointly cultivated by Yang Ning and Zhong Li, and has also trained in the military for several years. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is a modern general who has transmigrated and been reborn.

He should be able to handle it?

Moreover, Jiang Yunhao only appears to be one person.

In fact, as soon as he arrived in Jiangyun, a steady stream of Jiangyun survivors would flock to him.

Even if he were a fool, with a constant stream of talented people supporting him, he would surely achieve great things!
