Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2454 Slaying the Liao Emperor Again, Guigu Su Qin

Yi Seong-gye was the founding monarch of the Joseon Dynasty. After ascending to the throne, he implemented reforms domestically, purged the Goryeo royal family, submitted to the Ming Dynasty, and pacified the Jurchen tribes in the northeast of the Korean Peninsula, extending his territory to the Tumen River.

In the history of Korea, among the many monarchs, he was a rare and capable ruler. Moreover, he was an emperor who was skilled in both literature and military affairs.

Although Joseon was a small country, Yi Seong-gye was still a founding monarch.

Therefore, even after killing him, the Mountain Lion Camel was still able to barely trigger some of the system's rewards.

"Ding! Mountain Lion Camel has slain Yi Seong-gye, the founding monarch of Joseon Dynasty. Reward: two random attributes permanently +1, current Strength +1, Charisma +1, Mountain Lion Camel's attributes increased to..."

Mountain Lion Camel: Leadership 57, Strength 107 (+1), Intelligence 45, Politics 42, Charisma 64 (+1).

"General! We can't hold on any longer! Retreat!" The captain of the personal guards, covered in blood, saw that three generals had died in such a short time. He immediately grabbed Yelü Dashi's arm and pleaded with him in a shrill voice.

Yelü Dashi looked around and saw nothing but swarms of Qing soldiers and his men falling one after another. The streets were stained red with blood and the corpses were piled up like mountains.

He knew that Huanglong Prefecture... was finished.

A great sense of sorrow and helplessness welled up in his heart, but as a general, how could he desert his post?
Besides, even if he runs, where can he run to?
With the Manchu army already inside, almost everywhere you looked, there were Manchu soldiers, with only a few scattered groups still putting up a desperate resistance.

"Your Majesty! I have failed you!" he murmured to himself, a resolute glint in his eyes. He raised his spear and charged once more at the Qing army that surged like a tide.

"Soldiers of Dashi! Follow me to kill the enemy! Die for your country today!"

He abandoned defense and fought with a desperate, life-or-death approach. His spear, like a venomous dragon emerging from its lair, instantly pierced through two more Qing cavalrymen.

But after killing two, he was met with even more Qing soldiers surrounding him, attacking him from all sides with swords, spears, and halberds.

The mountain lion camel, who had killed Yi Seong-gye, grinned maliciously and once again rode closer.

Yelü Dashi fought back fiercely, instantly inflicting several deep, bone-revealing wounds on his body, from which blood gushed forth. His mount let out a mournful cry, and a Manchu soldier seized an opportunity to thrust his spear into the horse's belly.

Before Yelü Dashi could even get up after falling from his horse, Shan Shituo's massive halberd, stained with blood and flesh, carrying the shadow of death, slammed down towards his head.

His vision was filled with blood and the massive blade; Yelü Dashi could even feel the stinging sensation of the blade cutting through the air...

"Ding! Mountain Lion Camel has slain Yelü Dashi, the founding emperor of the Western Liao Dynasty. Reward..."

Both were founding monarchs, but the rewards Yelü Dashi received after his execution were far greater than those given to Yi Seong-gye.

After all, Joseon was just a small country; his status as the founding monarch only added to its prestige.

However, the Western Liao Dynasty established by Yelü Dashi was different. It was a powerful country in Central Asia at the time, and even at its peak, it was one of the strongest countries in the world at the same time.

With Yelü Dashi's death in battle, the battle at Huanglong Prefecture came to a complete end. Even Shalijin, a god-level general, ultimately could not escape and was captured by Lian'er Xinshan and other generals, including Wanyan Shou. Lian'er Xinshan and Guan Yu both gained significant improvements in their battle, not just breaking through from the peak of the Heavenly Rank to become god-level generals.

Even though Lian'er's good fortune couldn't compare to Guan Yu's, resulting in a significant gap in strength between them, he is still among the top-tier initial-level divine generals.

At least, even in a one-on-one fight, Shalikin would be no match for Lian Erxin.

The army had been quelled. Even though the powerful Dongyi families, led by the local Li family, organized a few intermittent resistances, they could not change the final outcome and were suppressed by the Northern Di army.

Following this, Xuan Ye immediately appointed Zhao Hui and A Gui as generals, ordering them to quickly sweep through the cities along the Northern Barbarian route before the news was received, thus expanding their occupied territory in Beiping Road.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! With the victory in capturing Beiping, no one can threaten your position now!" On the city wall of Huanglong Prefecture, the figure of the Han envoy Su Qin appeared.

As for Su Qin, although Xuan Ye felt somewhat repulsed by him, he still had to put on a smile on the surface.

In previous years, the Manchus relied on the Han people to a certain extent. In the future, with the changes in the situation on the grasslands, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will still have to rely on the Han people for quite some time.

After all, although they had recently made contact with the Golden Horde, their formidable enemy, the Tuoba tribe, stood between them, preventing them from communicating directly with the Golden Horde.

In this situation, the Han Dynasty, which is also an ally of the Golden Horde, becomes extremely important.

Under these circumstances, even knowing that helping the Han Dynasty betray its allies would sow the seeds of future trouble for them and leave them with no national credibility, they still had no choice but to do it. This was the Han Dynasty's open strategy.

As for the Han Dynasty, supporting Nurhaci was also crucial. After all, barring unforeseen circumstances, the Tuoba tribe was on the verge of destruction, and if Nurhaci couldn't be saved, the entire Tuoba tribe would be completely out of control.

Half of the Northern Di territory will fall entirely into the hands of the Tuoba tribe.

This is contrary to the interests of the Han Dynasty.

"Congratulations to the Great Han! This time, Yelü Abaoji has no way to escape!" Xuan Ye said with a forced smile.

The decision to send troops against Yelü Abaoji, persuaded by Su Qin, had a significant impact on their original strategy, but it was also undeniably profitable for them.

If there is no benefit to be gained from simply making sacrifices, even if Su Qin had the words to persuade Nurhaci and the Manchu leadership, let alone if he had also brought Wang Yingkan along, it would have been impossible to convince them to agree to this matter.

The entire Beiping Circuit represents their greatest interest. Rich in minerals, Beiping Circuit will be a crucial source of strength for them in their future struggle against the Tuoba tribe.

For the Han Dynasty, the addition of the Manchu Qing Dynasty as a variable was enough to completely reduce the impact of the early entry of the Japanese Empire, allowing them to resolve the mess of the Eastern Barbarians according to their predetermined plan, without affecting their subsequent plans against the Qian Dynasty.

Meanwhile, with Nurhaci now standing in opposition to Yelü Abaoji, the figure on the plateau would have to think twice before intervening. In effect, this severed one of Yelü Abaoji's arms.

For the Han Dynasty, the Dongyi region was a marginal area that needed to be reduced as soon as possible. Their overall interests were never with the Dongyi, but with the Daqian and Dawu dynasties.

The interests of the Eastern Yi are not worth wasting too much of their energy and time on.
