The Flames of War Rise Again: Dongsheng War Reopens
In the 45th year of the Great Xia Calendar, a rebellion broke out in the Northern Plains.
Rebellion is normal. Since the death of Tian Dao Yi, there have been rebellions every year in Northern Plains, Western Splendor, and Eastern Victory. In seven years, there have been a total of 4,225 rebellions, averaging 600 per year.
This is the exemplary role played by the successful example of Daxia: it greatly inspired the struggles against exploitation and oppression in countries and nations that were still suffering from exploitation and oppression.
After all, Yang Sheng's path was too smooth, it always felt like he had stepped in dog poop, to the point that anyone who read "The Biography of Yang Sheng" couldn't help but feel that "I could do that too."
Then they threw themselves one after another into the movement against Taiheng.
It wasn't just the Anti-Taiheng Alliance; the Far North Myriad Victories Alliance and the Tianyi Sect also had their own rebellions.
The most powerful force was Jiang Yun Nation, whose leader, Jiang Yunhao, had established a base between the Great Luo Sect and the Myriad Gods Hall, raising an army of hundreds of thousands.
If he is besieged by the Great Luo Sect, he will run towards the Myriad Gods Hall; if he is besieged by the Myriad Gods Hall, he will run towards the Great Luo Sect.
With this one move, he grew stronger and stronger, growing from a small squad of less than a thousand men to the commander of an army of hundreds of thousands, and was already capable of establishing a nation.
Because uprisings were rampant throughout Taiheng, Qu Heng was busy sending troops to suppress them, so he overlooked the fact that Da Xia was secretly relocating its population.
However, this uprising is a little different. This time it is not a peasant uprising, nor is it a rebellion of the people of the Spirit Realm, but rather an uprising of the Tai Heng Army.
As for the cause of the uprising, it was also a butterfly effect caused by the Great Xia's siphoning of population.
If the Great Xia Dynasty still had to operate secretly to absorb Taiheng, then it could openly and legitimately absorb Eastern Victory, Western Splendor, and Northern Plains.
But the Great Xia did not do that. Instead, it sealed off the border and built the Great Wall to isolate the refugees from the three regions.
This was also part of the original agreement. Qu Heng demanded that the Great Xia side not interfere with the political affairs of Eastern Victory, Western Splendor, Northern Plains, not support the rebel armies in the three places, and not have any personnel exchanges with the three places.
But as everyone knows, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too.
Qu Heng himself is trying every possible way to improve the Qu Family's fortunes; how can you expect the Taiheng disciples stationed on the border to enforce the law impartially?
At the border between Taiheng and Daxia, there was a mountain god named Mountain God Sui Shan. He discussed with the Daxia border army, saying, "Give me Spirit Stone, and I can secretly let refugees cross over, guaranteeing that no outsiders will know."
Since the Great Xia was short of manpower, it naturally agreed. So the two sides secretly dug a tunnel under the city wall and sent several thousand people over every day, not daring to send too many.
This business had been going on for more than half a year, but with thousands of people coming and going, it was eventually discovered.
The discoverers were soldiers from the Tai Heng Army's border troops, which were located near the Mountain God Sui Shan.
This soldier was incredibly audacious; he actually went directly to Mountain God Sui Shan and said, "I know about your deal with Da Xia. Share the profits with me, or I'll report you."
Mountain God Sui Shan was startled, thinking that the soldier had someone else backing him, and had no choice but to agree.
But he wasn't an honest man either. During the transaction, he sent someone to follow the soldier, and then discovered that the soldier didn't share the Spirit Stone he earned with anyone; he squandered them all on himself!
So, he doesn't have anyone backing him up? Then why are you so confident?
Mountain God Sui Shan promptly sent men to kill the soldier.
But he didn't expect that his dishonest actions would lead to him being caught red-handed by the Tai Heng Army.
Then the Tai Heng Army came to the door demanding an explanation.
He did kill the person, but he couldn't provide a reasonable explanation.
Furthermore, Mountain God Sui Shan believed that as a disciple of a fifth-rank noble Aristocratic Clan, why should he lecture a bunch of Ninth-Rank Noble Families scions? Did they even deserve it?
But what he didn't know was that after the Tian Dao Yi reformed the system and destroyed the Western Splendor and Northern Plains armies, these Ninth-Rank Noble Families scions had already undergone a complete transformation!
They received unprecedented respect in the military camp, but outside the camp, they were met only with insults, contempt, and abuse. In comparison, their sense of belonging to the Tai Heng Army far exceeded that of their Lineage. They did not consider themselves scions of some Ninth-Rank Noble Families family, but rather soldiers of the Tai Heng Army!
Insulting me is insulting my Tai Heng Army!
Several investigators launched a direct attack on Mountain God Sui Shan, but they were no match for Mountain God Sui Shan and were killed by Mountain God Sui Shan.
The Tai Heng Army was immediately alarmed and launched a full-scale attack, surrounding Mountain God Sui Shan and setting it on fire.
Ordinary fire certainly wouldn't kill a cultivator, but it wouldn't cause much harm, though it would be extremely humiliating. Looking at the barren mountain, Mountain God Sui Shan immediately made a phone call to his Lineage and then summoned a clerk from the Prison Department.
As a scion of a fifth-rank Aristocratic Clan, Mountain God Sui Shan was naturally favored by the head of the Prison Department, who believed that the Tai Heng Army was entirely responsible and that not only should the ringleaders be punished, but their salaries should also be deducted!
After the Tai Heng Army destroyed Western Splendor, it was no longer valued. Not only were their military pay often deducted, but they also had a low status within the Taiheng Sect's court.
Furthermore, they Tian Dao Yi, but Tian Dao Yi is now dead, leaving them without anyone to demand justice for them.
They had clearly performed a great service, yet they had to suffer such injustice. The Tai Heng Army already harbored great resentment, and now they were being insulted by a mountain god.
You see, the reason they're stationed here is because they conquered this mountain!
Enraged, the soldiers formed ranks and killed the official and Mountain God Sui Shan.
They called the sect to explain their actions, but the clerk's lackey had already reported them back. Only after the commander called back did he learn that their unit had actually defected!
This matter has already made it into the news, trending topics, and various forums and online communities, both long and short videos are talking about it. As a result, I was the last to know that I had betrayed my country and gotten the news!
The commander was filled with grief and indignation, and decided to go all the way and actually rebel!
They occupied the mountain and renamed it Mountain God Sui Shan, then contacted the Tai Heng Army from all sides, hoping to expand their forces.
The Tai Heng Army had long been dissatisfied with their situation. Upon hearing that the Mountain God Sui Shan Army had rebelled, they immediately responded in secret. They abandoned their original garrison area and headed towards Mountain God Sui Shan under the pretext of suppressing the rebels and carrying out internal executions. On the way, they did not forget to call their families and tell them to move to Daxia.
Having come from Taiheng, they certainly knew how strong the Taiheng Sect was, but this time, they were learning from Jiang Yunhao!
Where is Mountain God Sui Shan? It's located at the border of Eastern Victory and Daxia!
The Great Wall built by the Xia Dynasty is located on the mountain ridge!
The Great Xia Dynasty had a "Great Xia Defense Law," which stated that the area within 30 kilometers of Tai Heng City was a defense zone, and no force was allowed to wage war within this area.
The Great Wall is also a city!
This law is a bit domineering, but Qu Heng didn't express any opinion because he felt that Taiheng Sect and Daxia had no enmity and shouldn't be at odds.
He certainly hadn't anticipated this situation: the Tai Heng Army had treated this thirty-kilometer stretch as a safe zone!
If I can win a battle, I'll fight it; if I can't, I'll retreat to this 30-kilometer radius.
Come on in if you dare, let's see if you dare to go against the Great Xia!
The Great Xia Dynasty has no cultivators at the Spiritual Law Realm, but they have hydrogen bombs!
This incident is not over yet.
The Tai Heng Army was originally suppressing local forces in various places, but now that they have withdrawn, the rebel army is suddenly left without anyone to suppress them!
The rebel army of that time was originally infiltrated, and their influence can be seen in various uprisings over the years, but ultimately no large-scale war has broken out.
Even today, after discovering that the Tai Heng Army's actions were shady, these rebel armies are following suit, rising up in rebellion to kill corrupt officials, mountain gods, and river gods, while building camps along the Great Wall, as if they intend to stay there permanently.
Having made prior preparations, coupled with the rebellion of the Tai Heng Army, and taking advantage of their own cunning and unpreparedness, they managed to wipe out all of Taiheng's remaining disciples in Eastern Victory within a single day.
By the time Qu Heng received the news, not only had the Eastern Victory War resumed, but the rebel army of Northern Plains Western Splendor had also made a comeback!
Smoke of war rises everywhere, and the flames of war reignite!
The imperial star flickers and Mars shines high, but it will all be over in a single day or night!
