The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror

The words of the Yang Family Head instantly reassured everyone.

Inside the military tent, a scholarly gentleman spoke leisurely: "Sir, if we break through Qianzhu and the two offices of Longli, the official army at Juzhou City will have no choice but to come out and fight us, or they will be cut off from all reinforcements, forced into a desperate struggle."

He spoke eloquently, revealing the key to this operation.

No one dared to underestimate this scholar.

The man was a liaison from the Golden Tent on the grassland, but besides that, he held another remarkable identity — he hailed from the Yansheng Gong Mansion in the East Mountain Province.

He was a legitimate descendant of North Kong.

During the Court's family raid, this Kong gentleman happened to be in the northern border town. Upon hearing the news, he immediately escaped to the grassland. Since North Kong had long maintained secret contacts with the Northern Barbarians, coupled with the plight of North Kong, Mr. Kong soon earned the trust of the Golden Tent's Great Khan.

After entering and leaving the Golden Tent, Mr. Kong actively offered strategies to the Great Khan and was highly valued.

On the surface, the rebellion by the Yang family in Bozhou is supported by the Youhe Mountain Road, but in reality, many significant plans involve Mr. Kong's participation.

In his vision, once the Yang family gains power, they can invade Ba Shu and intimidate Chu Land. The Wu and Chu regions are crucial positions for the world's wealth and grain. The Great Yu Dynasty will inevitably have to shift its focus southward. By then, when the royal army moves north, it will surely make these Southern Barbarians of the Great Yu Dynasty experience the crisis of shattered mountains and rivers once again, as it was a hundred years ago.

If all goes well, the Golden Tent from the grassland might once again rule the Central Plains.

Furthermore, Mr. Kong, with his profound family knowledge, taught the Yang family how to use the Weiyang Sword left behind by the Zhuge family.

With Mr. Kong's assistance, the Yang Family Head was greatly pleased, saying: "With Mr. Kong's assistance, I'm invincible. Once I achieve my great ambition, I will restore the legitimate status of the Yansheng Gong Mansion and revere Confucianism, defining the path of enlightening the world..."

He sets out grandiose plans one after another.

Mr. Kong felt deeply moved, but inwardly thought the Yang Family Head was too timid. Even after rebelling, he didn't dare to declare himself king, still using the title of Comfort Envoy conferred by the Great Yu Dynasty.

Officially, the Yang Family Head claims to mimic the strategy of the Great Yu Emperor, slowly claiming kingship, but it's too contrived.

At the end of the day, the Yang Family Head still harbors a hopeful mindset, thinking if defeat is inevitable, he must accept amnesty, leaving himself a way out.

He was well aware of Xu Gongming's ruthless nature.

Regarding Xu Gongming, Mr. Kong harbored deep hatred, and he was also filled with animosity towards the Great Yu Dynasty.

In his view, if not for the Great Yu Dynasty's support from behind, how could Xu Qing dare to deal with the Yansheng Gong Mansion.

This debt, he must settle with Xu Qing and the Great Yu Emperor.

Now the most critical issue is helping the Great Khan enter the pass.

Currently, the Great Yu Dynasty seems to be showing signs of national resurgence, but in reality, it's just a dying flash. Once the Black Mountain Elder from the Seven Kills Demon Palace at Changbai Mountain recovers his power, he will inevitably seek out the Great Yu Imperial Family to resolve the old grievances.

Because when the Black Mountain Elder was severely wounded back in the day, although it was the previous Daoist of the Xuantian Dragon Ascension Path who struck, the Great Yu Imperial Family and two Martial Saints surely assisted by ambushing...

Once this elder recovers the Realm of the creator, even in the Capital's Imperial City, with the Emperor protected by Dynasty Destiny and guarded by Martial Saints, it may not withstand the elder's dark hands.

Moreover, both the grassland and Eastern Barbarians have an ancestral Martial Saint.

Once the Golden Tent takes over the Central Plains, according to tradition, the Great Khan must also assume the role of Grandmaster of Confucianism, which would be the true glory for Confucianism.

The former dynasty's tolerance of scholars was unprecedented in history. Even during the Great Yu Emperor's reign, many scholars fondly remembered the previous dynasty's favor towards scholars, claiming to be remnants of the former dynasty, saying things like life is joyful during the Yuan era...

The key is, during the former dynasty, the scholarly class didn't worry about land clearance because their land occupation was perfectly legal, given the dynasty's tax package system.

This was an unheard-of benevolent policy...

As long as they help the Golden Tent's Great Khan to rule the Central Plains, promoting the restoration of the tax package system, they will surely be revered by the scholars of the world as living saints, surpassing any Wenqu Star, Xu Liushou, with their monumental contribution to rebuilding Confucianism.

Inside the camp, everyone also talked about Xu Qing's conquest over the An family, speaking with some trepidation, even the Demon Path's demon expressed considerable fear.

The reputation of a person is like the shadow of a tree.

In the propaganda of the Demon Path, Xu Qing was portrayed as the reincarnation of an eternal evil dragon, indeed a heinous evil, yet with extensive Divine Skills and deep Mana.

Mr. Kong then said, "In my view, Xu Qing is nothing to worry about. This person assists the Court in policy reforms and clearing lands, which has actually alienated the hearts of all scholars in the world. In my opinion, he's already a dead man, soon to be besieged by scholars everywhere..."

He spoke sharply, citing evidence freely, practically cutting to the bone, pointing out Xu Qing's weaknesses.

The Yang Family Head laughed heartily, "Sir's words are like the ten victories, ten defeats theory in the story, directly targeting Xu Gongming's vulnerabilities. With you, sir, it is truly divine assistance..."

They were all Tusi, local despots. Despite Xu Qing's great reputation and his subjugation of the An family, the An family was originally fickle anyway. Xu Qing's conquest of the An family, under Mr. Kong's scrutiny, was clearly overhyped, and the various rumors about Xu Qing were indeed too exaggerated.

Such exaggeration surely contains considerable falsehoods.

Initially, everyone was somewhat awe-struck by Xu Qing.

With Mr. Kong's analysis, they discovered that Xu Qing was nothing more than a paper tiger.

Surely a manufactured topic figure by the Great Yu Dynasty, with actual skills being ordinary.

Following Mr. Kong's strategy, the Yang Family Head attacked Qianzhu and the two offices of Longli, occupying strategic positions.
