Chapter 120 The Rise of the Great Yong Dynasty
A thunderclap from nowhere!
Several weak vassal kings, including the King of Lu, suddenly formed an alliance.
This dropped a huge bomb on the Great Yong.
The explosion made all the vassal kings' heads buzz.
This includes Cao Cao and Sima Yi, who were currently locked in a fierce power struggle in the capital of Daqian.
Lu Wang and several other weaker vassal kings also gained fame because of Su Qin's schemes, and suddenly became a new force on the political stage of Dayong.
Meanwhile, the powerful vassal kings who had long dominated the feudal lords and possessed great strength were naturally paying close attention to the developments in Luwang City.
When they learned that those weak vassal states, which they had previously considered insignificant, had formed an alliance with considerable power, their reactions varied, but they were all undoubtedly filled with shock and unease.
First was the Tiger King, located in the south of Dayong, a powerful vassal king known for his military might and conquests.
He was inspecting troops on the parade ground when he heard the news.
The Tiger King was tall and imposing, with a majestic face and a pair of tiger eyes that gleamed with a captivating light.
He brandished his halberd and roared, "These weak vassal kings dare to unite against us! They're courting death!"
Tiger King's strategist calmly analyzed from the side, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Although the combined strength of these weak vassal states is still insufficient to contend with us, their actions cannot but warrant our attention."
"The reason they dare to do this must be because they have some kind of leverage or strategy. We must not let our guard down."
"
After listening for a while, the Tiger King calmed down and pondered for a moment before saying, "You're right. We can't underestimate these weak vassal kings."
"You should immediately send someone to investigate the specifics of their alliance and the supporters behind it."
"I'll see what they're up to!"
Meanwhile, in the vast seas east of Dayong, another powerful vassal king—King Ye—also learned of this news.
Ye Wang was not known for his military prowess, but his wisdom and skill made all the feudal lords wary of him.
He sat on his pearl-encrusted throne, listening to his subordinates' reports with a playful smile on his face.
"These weak vassal kings actually want to form an alliance like us? How interesting."
Ye Wang chuckled softly, "But do they think they can change the situation like this? They're being far too naive."
Although that's what he said, the Dragon King did not completely ignore the existence of this alliance.
He knew that any power that could rise to prominence must have its reasons and strength.
"Pass down the order to have our people closely monitor the movements of this alliance."
"If they dare to make any moves, we'll teach them a lesson!"
So he summoned his men and gave them orders.
The Sparrow King of the South was a powerful vassal king known for his extravagance and pleasure.
He didn't react much to the news of the alliance, and even seemed somewhat dismissive.
In his view, even if these weak vassal kings united, they wouldn't be able to cause any significant trouble.
"Hmph, these guys are really overestimating themselves!"
The Mahjong King sneered from his palace, filled with beautiful women and treasures: "You think forming an alliance will put you on equal footing with us? What a joke!"
However, the King of Sparrows' subordinates reminded him: "Your Majesty, although these weak vassal states are indeed not a threat, their alliance may have some impact on us."
"After all, the combined power of multiple enemies should not be underestimated."
The Mahjong King waved his hand impatiently after hearing this: "Alright, alright, I understand. Just send a few people to keep an eye on them."
"Report immediately if they make any unusual moves!"
Although these powerful vassal kings reacted differently to the alliance of weaker vassal kings, they all maintained a certain degree of vigilance and attention towards it.
They knew that the emergence of this alliance would inevitably have some impact on the current situation, although the extent of that impact was not yet clear.
In this process, Su Qin's strategy of alliances and counter-alliances gradually demonstrated its power and effectiveness.
They not only successfully united these weak vassal kings, but also transformed them into a force to be reckoned with.
This is undoubtedly a challenge and threat to those powerful regional kings.
As their intelligence network took action, the mastermind behind the alliance, Su Qin, began to emerge.
Su Qin's challenges have only just begun!
When the vassal kings learned that those weak vassal states, which they had previously considered insignificant, had actually been closely linked together under Su Qin's strategy of alliances and counter-alliances, their reaction was like a boulder being thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
First, the Tiger King of the South sat on his majestic throne, his face ashen.
I originally thought those weak vassal kings were just a rabble and not worth mentioning, but I never expected that there was a wise man like Su Qin manipulating them behind the scenes.
The Tiger King clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with anger and resentment.
"Su Qin? That famous strategist from the School of Diplomacy?"
"How dare he oppose me? He's asking for trouble!"
Tiger King threw his wine glass away and said through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Su Qin is a man of extraordinary wisdom and eloquence, and his art of alliances and counter-alliances is truly masterful."
"Since he has been able to unite these weak vassal kings, he must have some extraordinary abilities. We must not underestimate him."
The Tiger King's strategist, observing his reaction, whispered a reminder.
Tiger King took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He knew his strategist was right; Su Qin was no ordinary man. The fact that he could develop the situation to this point was enough to demonstrate the opponent's strength.
However, the Tiger King was no pushover; he would not stand idly by while Su Qin grew stronger.
"Pass on my orders," the Tiger King said in a deep voice, "Mobilize elite troops and strengthen border defenses."
"At the same time, I'll send spies infiltrate the alliance; I need to know their every move!"
Compared to Tiger King's anger and resentment, Ye Wang from the East appeared much calmer.
He sat on a throne inlaid with pearls, his fingers lightly tapping the armrests, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Su Qin, oh Su Qin, no wonder you came from the School of Diplomacy!"
"As expected, it did not disappoint me."
Ye Wang muttered to himself, "The strategists are indeed extraordinary to be able to unite these weak vassal kings."
"However, do you think you can contend with me like this? You're being far too naive."
Despite saying that, Ye Wang did not take it lightly.
He knew that Su Qin's wisdom and skill were extraordinary, and that he must have had exceptional abilities to unite these weak vassal kings.
Therefore, he also began to prepare countermeasures.
The Southern Mahjong King was furious upon learning the truth.
He originally thought those weak vassal kings were just a mob and not worth mentioning, but he never expected that there was a wise man like Su Qin manipulating them behind the scenes.
The Mahjong King felt he had been fooled and was filled with rage.
"Su Qin! I'll make sure you die a horrible death!" the Sparrow King roared. "You dare to oppose me? You're asking for trouble!"
However, despite his anger, the Mahjong King knew that this was not the time to vent his emotions.
He began to calmly consider countermeasures, while ordering his men to strengthen defenses and reconnaissance.
The other feudal lords also reacted in different ways after learning the truth.
Some were shocked, never expecting Su Qin to have such methods; others began to worry, fearing they would become the next target.
Others began plotting how to establish ties with this emerging alliance in order to protect themselves.
