With the grand trajectory of history already shattered, Chen Xi's strategic mastery was no longer at the top of its game. At best, he could now be considered an exceptionally skilled tactician. However, Chen Xi's value was never in his strategic brilliance alone; his real worth lay in being the helmsman, steering the ship forward.
Chen Xi was the driving force behind why Taishan’s power grew stronger with each battle. His political strategies may have been ahead of their time, ...

However, if Chen Xi were to go down that path, it would take at least twenty years of recuperation and growth before stepping out of the Central Plains. Only then could they confront the great empires like the Kushan and Parthian Empires. But twenty years of rest, twenty years of peace—would they even be able to fight by then?
Ordinary people chase after minor gains, while those in high positions must think about the grand plans for a century. Twenty years is enough to wear dow...

As Ma Chao returned to Xiliang, Chen Xi also received accurate intelligence from the north. As Guo Jia had predicted, snow had fallen across the northern grasslands, and the Xianbei people were beginning to stir.
"It never ends, does it? This time, we have no choice but to fight," Chen Xi said with a headache. He had been resting at home for some time, but the gravity of the situation had dragged him back to work.

One month ago, Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu arrived at Mount Tai. Unlike Ma Yunlu's carefree demeanor, Zhao Yun had many responsibilities to attend to. By this time, news of Liu Bei’s victory had already spread throughout Mount Tai.
Naturally, upon Zhao Yun's return, many commoners approached him with inquiries. Unlike the stern and aloof figure of Guan Yu, Zhao Yun was very approachable. During the most difficult times for the people of Mount Tai, Zhao Yun had tirelessly run around, ...

"I’m going to kill you!" Ma Chao and Sun Ce lunged at each other like rabid dogs. They had just been punched in the face!
At that moment, both had unleashed all their power, which resulted in their weapons being shattered. And after getting punched in the face by each other, both of them were seething with rage.
Immediately, the two began brawling in mid-air, like street thugs. But this time, neither had any internal energy left to reinforce their bodies, relying solely o...

The eruption of Dongshang Volcano left the tens of thousands of soldiers under Jiang Ming in awe.
The night had suddenly turned into day, and it wasn't until noon the next day that the light and tremors gradually subsided.
The surrounding area within a thirty-mile radius was covered in thick layers of volcanic ash, with the air filled with scorching heat and fire toxins.
"This dormant volcano has fully awakened, and it’s now in its most vigorous and active state!"

Xia Jing?
Chen Shijie and Long Xiao were stunned. They certainly knew Xia Jing, the most outstanding son of Lord Xiahou.
However, Yu Ziqi didn’t recognize Xia Jing and had never heard of this genius. He was even more absorbed in the sword path than Long Xiao, rarely paying attention to such matters.
Still, Yu Ziqi was highly obedient. When told to stop, he immediately halted. His flying swords stopped just millimeters from Xia Jing’s nose, throat, chest, and even ...

Upon entering Fire Dragon Pass, the defenses became noticeably more relaxed.
The reasoning was simple: if the pass itself couldn’t stop an enemy, then no amount of reinforcement behind it would help, as nothing could compare to the defenses of the mighty pass.
This was especially true after Liao Rulong’s and Wen Shaoyang’s forces launched a feigned attack recently. Not only did they fail to make any progress, but they also lost dozens of men. After retreating a thousa...

“What misfortune? What kind of misfortune?”
Qin Zi pondered for a moment before suddenly recalling the time when he had taken on half of Jin Zhi’s bad luck!
He remembered it clearly.
When he transferred half of Senior Brother Jin’s misfortune onto himself, a wicked black skull appeared in the sky.
That skull, born of misfortune, had spoken menacingly, saying something like, “Whoever steals my essence, will die.”
