Everything Is Too Easy After Maxing My Talents

Chapter 520: Victory will belong to the Star Moon Army! 1

Translator: 549690339

The Zhou Dynasty led the army to crusade against the northern rebels.

This matter caused a huge uproar in the entire Great Zhou.

Countless nobles in the country clapped their hands in joy. They wished that the Wang Ji Army would immediately destroy North Ice River Town and annihilate the Star Moon Army. After that, they would capture Li Yueming, the heartless and unjust person who had caused chaos in the world. Only by executing him would they be able to appease the hatred of the Qin army.

After all, during the Qin army’s invasion, other than the emperor’s Dragon and Tiger Guards, the ones who suffered the greatest losses were the nobles who were scattered to the south of Futian Pass.

Countless nobles were unlucky, and the hundreds of thousands of years of savings of their families were swept away by the Qin army.

Now, they naturally hated the Qin army and the Northwest.

In their opinion, if the two places in the northwest could do their best to fulfill their duty of resisting foreign enemies, they would definitely not let such a tragedy happen in the Great Zhou Central Plains.

They couldn’t do anything to the violent Qin army, but they could do nothing to the rebels in the northwest.

While they were marching north, the nobles were naturally criticizing the two places in the northwest.

“Traitors of the Northwest, the disaster of the Qin army entering the pass five years ago was caused by you not doing your best to resist. These people who are disloyal to the royal family and disobey the etiquette system, everyone in the world must kill them!”

“That’s right. The Qin army entered the pass and violated the Great Zhou Dynasty. The entire Futian Pass and the Jishui River were in chaos. Countless civilians were displaced, and countless nobles brought their families along. Even Haojing was almost threatened by the army…lf our Great Zhou does not take revenge, how will we have the face to see the souls of the hundreds of kings who died because of the Qin rebellion?”

The vast majority of the people of Great Zhou accepted these comments.

After all, all the information channels in the world were controlled by these nobles. The information that the commoners could get was filtered and spread.

Thus, in their eyes, the last time the Qin army entered the pass, it was a rebellion in the northwest.

In fact, this statement was indeed correct in various senses.

However, everyone subconsciously overlooked one thing.

The Great Zhou had never thought of protecting the people in the northwest.

All the defense lines of the Wang Ji City’s army were built at the Dragon Subdue Pass, Tiger Subdue Pass, and Futian Pass. They did not treat the northwest as part of their territory at all.

Instead, they treated him as a sacrificial chess piece and placed him on a chessboard that was bound to lose. They planned to use the blood of the soldiers in the northwest to deplete the strength of the Qin army.

Originally, this move was actually very brilliant.

The Great Zhou Empire knew that the Western Garrison Army would definitely not surrender and would fight to the death with the Qin army. They only needed to coordinate with the Northern Army to block the Qin army as they continued south after taking down the Western Garrison Pass. They would be able to protect the few checkpoints of the Great Zhou Empire from direct attacks.

If it could be carried out normally, the Great Zhou would definitely not lose much strength in this war. On the contrary, it could even weaken the strength of the northwest.

However, he did not expect the Star Moon Army to mess everything up.

Not only did he persuade the Qin army not to attack the West Garrison Pass, he also opened a path for the Qin army in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Caught off guard, the Great Zhou suffered a huge loss.

Therefore, hearing a group of princes and nobles who controlled public opinion speak nonsense with their eyes wide open.

There was still a group of literati and scholar-bureaucrats in the country who stood up and mocked, “It’s true that the northwestern region is a traitor, but this traitor was forced to betray the Great Zhou. As for the reason, it’s all because he doesn’t treat the people and army of the northwestern region as the armor of the Great Zhou!”

“Back then, we proposed to send troops to the northwest. If the ministers in the court could adopt our suggestion and not blindly think about how to preserve their strength, how could the chaos of the Qin people five years ago occur?”

“The Western Garrison Pass was an ancient pass that existed in the Great Gan Dynasty. It was extremely steep and there was no other pass in the world that could compare to it! Although the Western Garrison Army was a descendant of the Great Gan, they had sacrificed a lot in order to defend against the enemies of Qin ! ”

“As for my Great Zhou? They were only willing to acknowledge the achievements of the Western Garrison Army on the surface. Sometimes, they did not even do a good job on the surface. In fact, they had been secretly suppressing and guarding against the western frontier… Li Yueming has made great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than ten years, but the Great Zhou Dynasty is so stingy that they don’t even dare to give him the position of Great General. The Great Zhou Dynasty doesn’t even have tolerance for people in front of us, so how can we blame the Northwest for rebelling?”

The conflict between the scholars and the nobles in the Great Zhou Dynasty had a long history. Both sides had often spat at each other thousands of years ago.

There was no need to say much about the nobles. They represented the royal relatives of the Zhou royal family. Among them, the larger ones, such as King Yu in the northeast and King De in the southeast, all had fiefs.

The other fallen royal families were vassals of the Zhou royal family and a few powerful dukes, and they could barely make ends meet.

As for scholars, they were nobles with different surnames.

They had risen to power through their merits and abilities, so they naturally looked down on this group of people from the Ji family who controlled the government and ate so much but did not have much ability.

The conflict between the two sides had been established.

As the status and power of the nobles with different surnames behind the scholars became higher and higher in the country, the infiltration of the power in the hands of the nobles became more and more serious. The conflicts between the two sides became more and more intense, and they often spat at each other in the court..
