The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 987 - 963: Alliance Formation

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the Magistrate's government office at Yanmen Pass.

Wang Caicheng was now like a lackey! Following behind Jiang Xiaoxiao, fearing that one false move would make him a ghost under the knife.

The city was in chaos now, and he was living in constant fear, like a stray dog.

He really didn't expect the defenders of Yanmen Pass to crumble so easily.

The Jiang Family Army truly made an effort.

With inside help, they took Yanmen Pass without losing a single soldier.

Now, all the little schemes Wang Caicheng had were gone without a trace.

Because he personally witnessed how Jiang Xiaoxiao's men dealt with the resisting soldiers; it was a battle where the disparity in strength was overwhelming.

With just two black devices, they took down the tall city walls, half of the wall collapsed, and the remaining troops barely put up a fight. The ensuing close combat after they charged in led to an overwhelming defeat, all in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's Jiang Family Army was organized, coordinated, and disciplined, backed by superior strength.

They really swept forward like a hot knife through butter.

He planned to stick with Jiang Xiaoxiao to survive, not even thinking about gaining ranks and titles.

Being alive now was good enough.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had her Jiang Family Army stationed at Yanmen Pass, incorporating fifteen thousand defenders into her forces; Li Yu and Jiang Xiaoxiao met with the dozen or so officers who surrendered with their men.

They were veterans of the Jiang Family Army, now seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao, they were all moved to tears.

They wanted nothing more than to kneel before Jiang Xiaoxiao, but she wouldn't let them.

These were her future subordinates, there was barely a ripple in the transition at Yanmen Pass.

The Jiang Family Army had established their foothold.

Because of this great victory by the Jiang Family Army, their fame grew even more.

Innumerable righteous troops and talents came to join them from all over.

After all, the reputation of the Jiang Family Army was well-known.

Jiang Xiaoxiao initially thought a confrontation with the Red Flame Army would happen much later.

Unexpectedly, just as Yanmen Pass had smoothly transitioned and allowed for a moment of respite, a messenger from the Red Flame Army arrived.

In short, General Huyan Qing of the Red Flame Army invited Mr. Jiang of the Jiang Family Army to form an alliance to confront the court's oppressive forces.

After reading the letter, Li Yu said, "Master, you mustn't go. Huyan Qing is likely setting a trap."

Currently, Jiang Xiaoxiao was the linchpin of the Jiang Family Army, and with the stability of their forces this year, and ample supplies in the rear.

Unexpectedly, the harvests had reached a multi-year high, especially with the new seeds Mr. Jiang had promoted.

The crops called corn and potatoes had incredibly high yields.

Yields of several thousand pounds per acre, with some even reaching ten thousand pounds.

The villagers were ecstatic.

This had never happened before; they were eager to burn incense and bow to Jiang Xiaoxiao.

In their minds, Jiang Xiaoxiao was a protective deity of the region.

"I'll go!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao agreed decisively; she had been looking for an opportunity to approach the Red Flame Spear, and this was a godsend.

Li Yu was shocked, "Master, your status is too important to risk. If anyone should go, it should be me. How can you go personally?"

Li Yu knew that Mr. Jiang was the flag that stood tall; as long as Jiang Xiaoxiao prevailed, the Jiang Family Army would never fall.

"You don't need to worry. I will go regardless. The Jiang Family Army has already taken shape, and as long as they continue training according to my methods, there won't be any mishaps. We have grain and troops, and with the Black Fire I left behind, what do you have to fear?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao finally seized this god-given opportunity and was determined to meet the Red Flame Spear no matter what.

As long as she could meet the Red Flame Spear, she might be able to return straightaway.

No matter how earnestly Li Yu tried, he couldn't change Jiang Xiaoxiao's mind, and he was left with no choice.

He fully supported Jiang Xiaoxiao by preparing troops for the alliance meeting and even deployed 50,000 soldiers to escort Jiang Xiaoxiao to attend the gathering with the Red Flame Army.

Jiang Xiaoxiao truly came alone, even refusing protection from Li Tieniu and Lin Dawang.

Without bringing any soldiers or generals, she rode a horse, donned in white, leisurely heading straight for the Red Flame Army camp.

Huyan Qing, upon hearing that Mr. Jiang of the Jiang Family Army dared to come alone to the feast, could hardly believe it.

Of course, his original intention was a sincere alliance because the court was now vigorously suppressing their rebel forces holding righteous banners, and she had been at odds with the court for many years.

Although the court was corrupt and its officials rotten, the court's troops were fighting for real.

If things continued this way,

eventually, they would be worn down.

And now the only force that matched his own was the recently risen Jiang Family Army at Yanmen Pass.

It was said that Mr. Jiang had a vendetta against the court due to the Jiang family massacre, with rumors claiming Mr. Jiang intended to seek revenge and overthrow the court to become emperor.

Moreover, it was widely rumored that Mr. Jiang of the Jiang Family Army had the ability to summon thunder and lightning; some even claimed he could command the wind and rain, causing heavenly thunder and fire to directly obliterate enemy forces.

The tales were vivid and magical, and this was something Huyan Qing believed.

He himself possessed the Red Flame Spear.

The Red Flame Spear was indeed extraordinary, nearly invincible in battle, possessing heavenly fire abilities capable of destroying all. He knew this was the power of the Red Flame Spear.

It was possible that Mr. Jiang of the Jiang Family Army also had such miraculous abilities.

He genuinely wanted to ally with the Jiang Family Army. Together, taking on the court would be a breeze.

Of course, how the world would be divided after the alliance was another matter for the future.

At least for now, uniting against outsiders could reduce pressure, and with the Jiang Family Army's cooperation, Huyan Qing believed they could sweep through the remaining weak forces of the court.

This could also resolve the current predicament, and he considered the possibility of facing a massive army brought by the other side.

After all, everyone feared being double-crossed.

But never in his wildest dreams did he expect Mr. Jiang of the Jiang Family Army to be so daring, coming alone, even though fifty thousand soldiers were stationed across from the Red Flame Army camp.

Was the person who came alone not afraid he might be slain?

At that moment, he couldn't help but admire this Mr. Jiang, opening the camp gates wide, with hundreds of cavalry riding out to welcome.

Huyan Qing also showed humility and respect, as both were leaders of the highest rank. If he did not honor his counterpart, the alliance would become empty words.

Behind Huyan Qing were strategists advising him; after assessing the situation, the best approach was for both sides to put aside pretenses and have a good conversation. Perhaps, through the best alliance, they could claim the world together.

Huyan Qing personally rode out to greet Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Especially upon seeing Mr. Jiang, he couldn't help but silently admire.

Mr. Jiang was indeed a handsome young man, wearing a mask and cloak, riding a white horse, dressed in white.

He had an air of grace and otherworldliness.
