I Became the Crown Prince of a Ruined Country

105 – One’s Way

Even though the combined forces turned their backs and began to retreat, there was no pursuit from the Qin Dynasty.

It wasn’t because we shared an agreement on a truce. A reasonable explanation was that neither side was willing to continue fighting.

In this era, mere humans felt the will of the sky in front of the wonder of a total solar eclipse that is no different from a supernatural phenomenon.

Even I, who knew that a total solar eclipse was just an astronomical phenomenon caused by the moon blocking the sun, would have been stunned before the extreme wonder. Have to accept it as

To be honest, even I was overwhelmed by the greatness of nature as I watched the sun eclipse and night fall on the world. The total solar eclipse I saw for the first time was solemn and majestic.

“Rather, it went well. The sky won’t allow us to fight anymore, so I’m afraid no one will say anything. There’s nothing better than this to save face.”

“It’s time to think about it. Is it time to think about that? It’s just the fact that I experienced Heaven’s will with my whole body. It’s something to be thankful for…”

The realistic image of Sama and sentimental Yeo Hong-seong contrasted.

However, even that Sama-san didn’t suggest using this opportunity to launch a surprise attack. There was no atmosphere or conditions for that.

It was the same in the Qin army as well, but even within the Hapzong army, there were an overwhelming majority of those who lost the will to fight by sharing the will of Yeo Hong-seong.

Even Hang-yeon, who showed more enthusiasm than anyone else, was one of them.

‘Chao’s adherence to superstition is stronger, but I’m sure Hang Yan is like that too.’

Hang-yeon was by no means strange. Rather, it was a common way of thinking in this era.

As if from a school of disciples, Geukshin and Bangnan maintained an objective view of the eclipse to some extent, but they also chose to withdraw, saying that it would be meaningless to fight at the current situation.

In this way, the joint army came to an end that I do not know whether to call it futile or pious.

First of all, looking at the contents, it was an overwhelming victory for the joint army, and the end was not due to failure to break through the Hamgok tube, but ended with an irresistible solar eclipse, so it is a neat joint army.

It was the Han army that broke away from the procession of the joint army first.

“Thank you for returning Shangdang and the old lands of the Han Dynasty.”

The Han Dynasty, which Seungsang Han Hee personally led and joined, received back the old Han Dynasty towns east of Hamgok-gwan in return for siding with the Hapjong Army at the end.

With this, the Han Dynasty is a semi-vassal state, and the days of avoiding the attacks of the Qin Dynasty are gone, and they have returned to the front lines fighting against the Qin Dynasty. Thanks to the experience of this victory, the attitude of the Han Dynasty was not so bleak.

Shortly after the Han Dynasty left, the army of Chu also split.

Right before parting, Hang Yan, who had said goodbye to Xin Leung, came to visit me.

And he exchanged stories that we couldn’t fully share the last time we were suddenly attacked.

It was a very shocking and thought-provoking conversation.

‘Let’s strike Qi together with Cho and Kite….’

It seems that the anger over not being able to solidify its position as the second power in this joint army due to Qi’s containment was greater than I imagined.

Since Wei, Jo, and Han had to block the Qin Dynasty, it was difficult to remove a separate army, so they had many intentions to bring in the Yan Dynasty, which had the worst relationship with the Qi Dynasty.

‘It wasn’t just Hang-yeon’s thoughts, it was Chun-sin-gun’s will. It’s worth trying, but two countries, Cho and Kite, aren’t enough.’

A firmer justification was needed.

If only the two of you, Cho and Kite, attack Qi, it is just revenge according to bad ties, but if Joe, Wei, and Han are involved and all five countries go together, it becomes a punishment for the renegade who goes against the great world.

Since Hang-Yeon also said it wasn’t Baro right now, I’ll have to talk to Chun-Shin-kun some more.

For the time being, no, for at least 10 years, the nations must act as if they are one body. The moment a country becomes greedy, cracks form in the joint military. Although they had won once this time, it was difficult to forget that the Qin Dynasty was still a country that could stand alone against five of the six countries.

‘That Chunshin-kun knows that, so he must be looking for more opportunities. And if the main forces of this merger were Wei and Joe, the main players against Qi would be Cho and Yan, so we must have confirmed our intentions in advance.’

I must have developed the ability to read the plate now. Seeing that the intentions of Chunshin-kun, who was a thousand li away from his brief conversation with Hang-yeon, were read, he definitely grew up.

After continuing to move like that, I was already back at the class where I was gathering.

From here, the road forks three ways.

The state of Wei is mass, the state of Zhao is Handan, and the state of Yan is Kye.

They will be scattered.

Facing farewell, Shin Leung-gun’s expression was somewhat relieved.

“Doesn’t it sound good to go back to your country after 10 years?”

“Did the Crown Prince feel good when he returned home after being a hostage?”

“The combined army is over now, and there are only two of us, so feel free to call it. Rather than that, it’s time to return home. At first, I was thinking of going to the school under Jiha, so I don’t think there was anything special about it?”

“Really? Indeed, neither I nor you have a very good relationship with the motherland.”

I don’t know why I heard the word “Motherland” As a king.

I have my father as the king, and Shinneung-gun has his brother as the king. However, those two kings viewed us as static and kept us in check.

So, Xin Leung’s army killed the general of his country and went to Zhao, and I recruited the generals of my country and took away the real power from the king.

“If you need help, please feel free to contact me. The top of the movie belongs to Shin Leung-gun, so don’t worry and use it.”

“You’re all grown up. You know how to worry. When did time go by so fast…”

Sunny weather and clear skies as if to bless the future after a breakup.

After enjoying the sunlight for a while and being silent, Shin Leung-gun suddenly looked at me and said.

“I’m glad I met you.”

“Yes? All of a sudden something.”

“Seriously. Perhaps, without you, I might not have left the country of Jo for the sake of the country of Wei. Even if I entrusted the reinforcements to Lord Shinpyeong, the result would have been the same as now.”

If it’s salt wave, it’s acceptable.

Yeompa is the only general in the world who can replace Shinneunggun. But I think the result would have been different. Because Yeompa has such outstanding abilities, he is a solitary general.

Yeompa could alone dominate the world, but he was not a vessel to embrace all nations like Shinlinggun.

“It’s thanks to you. I’m going back to my motherland.”

“What are you saying. If you don’t like your country again, come to Yan next time.”

“Hey, don’t remember.”

Shin Leung-kun whipped and tangled my hair, as if he had returned to Zhao.

“Let’s go. I’ve heard that even Yan is not as generous. Should I go back and do my job?”

I didn’t see the slightest worry or concern on Shin Leung-kun’s face when he said that, but I nodded my head.

In the first place, I had no intention of deceiving Shinneung-gun, nor did I have the idea that I could deceive him.

Those eyes that say they can read everything inside might be a source of displeasure to some, but to me they were a source of trust.

“That’s right. Then, next time.”

It ended with a few words with Bang Nan.

The message that Yeompa wanted to see me was at least a meaningful conversation.

Even so, I still need to have a proper talk with Yeompa. I returned the courtesy reply that I would take the time to understand.

On the remaining journey, only the Yan army gathered by my side.

“As expected. As soon as you left, King Yeon moved to secure the military power of Changguk’s army.”

“It is said that he called Goyanggun, who was appointed by His Majesty the late King Museong, into the world.”

Goyang-gun is a person from the old Song Dynasty, and his name is Yeongbun (榮蚠). In the past, during the reign of King Yeonmu, Yeongbun became the captain of the Yan Dynasty and was tasked with attacking the Zhao Dynasty.

Jo Na-ra’s great general investigation and Yeom-pa were indignant about that, but anyway.

Who is the flyer? Isn’t it a rare master who revived the Qi Dynasty, which had only two surnames, at once?

Against such leaflets, Youngbun fought quite well. He fought one step at a time without losing much, and the war ended.

If you look at the inside story, you went to play on the palm of the flyer who dragged the war to gnaw the national power of the Zhao and Yan nations, but looking at the results alone, you can say that it was a tight battle against the flyer.

If you are such a young person, you will have no shortage of talent to be reappointed as a general.

My grandfather, King Yeonhyo, who knew the truth, dismissed him as soon as he ascended the throne, but the talent my father needs right now is not someone who can win a real war, but someone who will follow his own words.

“You’re the kind of person who never goes beyond expectations.”

I deliberately left King Yeong’s plot to regain military power unattended. Rather, it was secretly encouraged from behind.

How a cornered mouse bites a cat. If he tightens the King too much and takes away his place, no one knows what will happen to him. Even if he is a scarecrow, the cause and legitimacy given by the throne are enormous.

In that case, it is better to release it to some extent and keep it within the range of response.

‘The military authority is something that can be retrieved at any time.’

Jingae and Geukshin. These two are the backbone of the Yan army.

As long as the two of you are supporting me, I don’t have to worry about anything else.

And I hoped that King Yeon would build a more confrontational angle with me.

If me and the king of yeon had a political fight, the princes of yeon would focus on that. The understanding of the production method of steel, which is the most important information in Yan, will be delayed that much.

“For the time being, even Yeon Na will be noisy.”

§

Wei Wuqi, who watched Hui Dan leave until the end, began to move in large numbers only after Yan’s procession disappeared.

It’s not that far from class to mass.

Not long after, a large number of people were caught in sight, and the siege weapons bore bitter accusations.

‘Bulk. That place is my grave.’

Why didn’t the Wei Wuqi move even in the face of a crisis in the country?

Because she knew.

He will return home as a hero of national salvation by receiving the position of Sang-sanggun right now, but if time passes, he will be ostracized from state affairs as before.

No, rather, they will be subjected to more severe checks and pressure than before. She has already thrown off those bridle and escaped by killing her own general.

She has a way to live, but it was a path she couldn’t take.

Banjeong. If it was an extreme move to dethrone the current King Wei and appoint a new king, Lord Shinneung would become the number one vassal in all countries without worrying about survival. If you go a little further, it is possible for her to become the king.

But I couldn’t. It’s because she’s ruining her cause, which all of her people shed her blood to save her one life.

‘Die where you were born. Isn’t it quite a taste?’

Even knowing that, the siege weapons returned.

In bulk.

To where Jinbi’s relatives and diners are sharpening her vengeful blade.

To the place where her family and the static Wi King are dotted with her inferiority complex and vigilantism.

Heedan knew that too.

Therefore, before leaving, he left a message to Wei Wuqi to come to Yan anytime.

While mentioning the means of the top of the movie.

“Don’t worry, Gongja.”

However, such concerns were unnecessary to the Wei Wuqi.

She was not afraid.

Rather, I will happily wait for that moment.

“I’m Xinleung-gun. I’m the military commander of Xinleung-gun.”

Wei Wuqi (魏無忌).

That name belongs to a great gentleman who overlooks the world.

There is nothing I don’t like.

Even if it is death.
