Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2394 System Mission: The War Against the Eastern Barbarians Begins

In the seventh year of the Yuanshi era, in the fifth month.

Wang Yu offered sacrifices to Heaven outside Tianjing City, and formally declared war on Yelü Abaoji, a member of the Eastern Barbarian tribe, citing his repeated incursions into the territory.

Wang Yingkan, the Minister of Rites, loudly recited the sacrificial text. Then Wang Yu personally stepped forward and placed the proclamation containing Yelü Abaoji's crimes into a bronze cauldron, which was then burned.

The blue smoke carried a declaration of war, seemingly destined for the heavens.

After completing the sacrificial ceremony, Wang Yu turned around and faced the thousands of soldiers and officials standing solemnly below the altar.

He slowly began to speak, “I, by the mandate of Heaven, have governed the four seas and pacified distant peoples, intending to share peace with all nations! However, Yelü Abaoji of the Eastern Barbarians is inherently fierce and stubborn, repeatedly refusing to change his ways, violating our territory and harming our people! If this barbarian is not eliminated, the border troubles will be difficult to quell, and how can the majesty of Heaven be maintained?”

"Today, I offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, in accordance with the will of Heaven and the people, and raise an army to punish the invaders! With the might of the Tiger Warriors, the might of the Imperial Guards, the strength of the people of Guandong, and the power of the barbarian allies, we will unite a million troops to sweep away the enemy's strongholds and capture and kill Abaoji, so as to demonstrate Heaven's punishment, comfort the border people, and promote the prestige of our great Han Dynasty!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

Below the altar, the Imperial Guards soldiers, about to embark on their campaign, shouted in unison, their voices like a tsunami or a collapsing mountain, the sound of weapons striking the ground like thunder, and the entire world seemed to tremble.

"Ding! Detection indicates the host is about to launch a full-scale attack on the Eastern Barbarians. The 'Exterminate the Four Barbarians' series of missions is now activated."
Mission One: Annihilate the Four Barbarian Tribes: the Eastern Barbarians, the Western Rong, the Northern Di, and the Southern Man. Nominally annex one of each. Reward: 50 years of national fortune, a permanent increase of one in two or three random attribute values ​​for the host (two for East and South, three for West and North), one God-level Summoning Card, and one random summoning card. If all four barbarians are annihilated, the national fortune will be increased by 100 years in addition to the previous rewards.

Task Two: The Destruction of the Eastern Yi. Destroy the Eastern Yi regime and kill its ruler, Yelü Abaoji. Rewards include: a permanent +1 to the host's Charisma attribute, one chance to awaken a monarch skill, 2 Heavenly-level Charisma attribute points (for non-hosts), and 1 Divine-level Charisma attribute point (for non-hosts).

Amidst the deafening roar of the mountains and the roar of the sea, a system notification suddenly sounded in my mind.

While Wang Yu surveyed the soldiers below with an unwavering expression, he briefly immersed his mind in the system space.

Clearly, the system tasks released this time are not time-limited, especially Task 1, which cannot be completed overnight.

However, the task was quite difficult, after all, among the four barbarians, apart from the Eastern Barbarians, none of them were easy targets.

However, the final rewards were also incredibly generous. Not to mention the attribute points and summoning cards, compared to the national fortune reward, these things that were once extremely precious were obviously insignificant at this point.

The fate of the nation is the most precious thing among this system mission.

This means that if this task can be completed, the rewards from this single system task alone could allow the Han Dynasty to continue for at least 300 years.

At the same time, although this indefinite system task is quite difficult to complete, fortunately, among the four barbarians, there is still the Eastern Barbarians, who are easy targets.

Soon, at least we can collect the mission rewards for the Eastern Barbarians first, and get a piece of this lucrative prize first.

After the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven and the declaration of war, the 50,000 Imperial Guards, led by Hulü Guang who had not long returned to Henan Province, will soon cross the river to Hebei Province to join Han Xin and the Tiger Legion, who are already waiting there.

After the war against the Song Dynasty, the Manxiong Army, one of the main forces, was stationed in Hedong Road, which allowed them to control Shanyang Road in the north and Shenglan Road in the west.

Under these circumstances, there is no longer any need to allow the portion of the Central Imperial Guards brought by Hulü Guang to remain stationed there.

After Hulü Guang and his group reunite with Han Xin, they will head together towards Xiping Road.

In this battle, Han Xin was the commander-in-chief, with Wen Zhong and Hulü Guang as his deputies.

Besides Xing Tian and Huang Feng, who were originally from Dongyi, his subordinates also included Xing Tian and Huang Feng.

Zhao Yun of the Imperial Guard, Hou Yi and Wu Changkong of Zhongxing Pass, and Huang Feihu and his son Huang Tianhua of Tianlang Pass were all transferred to Han Xin's command to prepare for this battle alongside the generals of the Tiger Warriors. On Su Dingfang's side, the fighting had already subsided, and he had enough generals under his command, including Chu Qingtian, Sun Mei, Guan Yu, and Jiang Song.

Therefore, Li Cunxiao had already reached Zhongxing Pass at this time.

That is why Wang Yu pulled Hou Yi and Wu Changkong away from the direction of Zhongxing Pass.

In addition, Yao Guangxiao and Feng Hou will also be accompanying the army in this battle.

Feng Hou is, after all, a dual-god level talent, but at this time, he has not yet fully submitted to the emperor.

Wang Yu would certainly not feel at ease if he were sent to govern from afar for an extended period of time.

Therefore, for the time being, he could only be kept in the central government to serve as a military advisor.

For a mere Eastern Barbarian, Wang Yu not only dispatched two god-level commanders but also two god-level strategists, demonstrating his determination to win this battle.

After all, the previous Great Yan Dynasty had only received this kind of treatment.

At the same time, Kuai Tong, the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies who had just returned from the Northern Barbarians, also set off for the Eastern Barbarians to meet with the person in charge of the Sun Kingdom in the Eastern Barbarians.

Although the Han Dynasty had anticipated that the Sun Kingdom might participate in the war later, it was important to keep them in check in the early stages and delay their participation as much as possible to reduce the difficulty of the war.

........................

Great Han Dynasty, Xiping Road.

Before Wang Yu formally swore an oath to the heavens, or rather, long before the cabinet had made up its mind to fight this war, news of the impending war had already been secretly transmitted to Wang Zhi and Wen Zhong by the Luo Wang.

This allowed the two of them to prepare military supplies and equipment in advance, reorganize the army, and make preparations for war as early as possible.

Upon receiving the news, the two men immediately summoned the generals of the Kwantung Army and the Foreign Army for a meeting.

Inside the main hall of the Xiping Circuit Governor's Mansion, a great many generals were gathered.

On the left is a group of civil officials led by Yelü Zongzhen, Zheng Zongliang, Halacha, Changsun Chi, Changsun Mo, and Huerchi.

On the right side are a group of military generals led by Xing Tian, ​​Huang Feng, Wang Yanqiu, Wanyan Xieye, Heichi Changzhi, Dongmen Zhong, Ximen Xiao, Atekotes, Nigel, and Carloman.

"This time, Your Majesty is finally going to destroy Yelü Abaoji!"

"This time, it's finally our chance to show our skills!" The generals below the hall exclaimed excitedly.

"That being said, our Great Han Dynasty now has 250,000 troops in Xiping Road!"

"But among them are 100,000 people, all of whom are new recruits who have only been in the army for a short time!"

"We must be cautious until General Han arrives!"

"Especially in Nanping Road, we must be on guard," said Li Xuanyi, the Prefect, as he surveyed his generals.
