Chapter 10: Enlightenment and Dominating the World

  In the eleventh year of Sui Daye (615), Li Yuan, the pacification commissioner of Hedong, who was stationed in Taiyuan, was ordered by Emperor Yang to suppress a peasant uprising in Hejin. Li Yuan led his troops to engage in a fierce battle with the rebels in Huozhou, killing over 10,000 enemies and capturing more than 60,000 people. The rebel leader, Wu Tunnan, died in battle, and only 4,000 remnants of the rebels escaped. All counties in Hedong had already surrendered to the imperial court... Wu Tunnan led the insurgent army in a heroic resistance, but ultimately failed due to being outnumbered, and the flames of the uprising were extinguished. Wu Tunnan himself was hit by over 70 arrows and died.

  Li Yuan piled up the corpses of the insurgent army together to form a "Jingguan" (a type of ancient Chinese tomb) in order to intimidate the people and boast of his military prowess.

  Li Yuanba was pulling Han Lin's hand from behind, but he didn't know that the more he did this, the more disappointed Han Lin became! Every woman hopes that her husband is a heroic figure, and the more talented the woman, the more so! Since ancient times, literature and martial arts have been opposing each other, but who doesn't want to be both literary and martial? Especially women like them, they hope their husbands are figures who can stand up for themselves and give them a strong shoulder to rely on! The soldiers in front were fighting desperately, while the son of the commander-in-chief was cowardly hiding behind the army, still boasting about his military prowess to his future wife...

  As she walked through the battlefield that had already ended, Han Lin almost had the urge to commit suicide! Those piles of corpses, although Han Lin felt fear and disgust, desperately concealed herself, not allowing herself to lose her composure; but beside her, that husband who was vomiting in a sorry state! Han Lin deeply regretted agreeing to follow Li Yuanba here, forcing herself to hold back the sadness welling up inside, numbly walking into the arranged living quarters... "The person I want to marry may be good at bragging, useless and incompetent, but can live longer, live better! Better than my father by far... I... I... really... have no other desires..." Using these words to comfort herself, thinking that her father, a hero who had never shown any weakness, yet in life... And then thinking of the rows of corpses on the battlefield: "I will be happier than before, won't worry about when my husband will return... A gentleman serving his duty, doesn't know when he'll come back..."

  But she didn't know that at this moment, her husband who made her feel sad was desperately vomiting and insisted on holding the corpse with a broken head and limbs. "I am Li Yuanba! Not an otaku from later generations!" How could Li Yuanba not know about Han Lin's disappointment? Killing people is what he was destined to do when he came to this world, who made him Li Yuanba!

  He vomited! A dizzy feeling made Li Yuanba sit on the ground, a wry smile, and said to the soldiers beside him with a slightly disdainful tone: "Do you think I'm very frustrated? Hehe, since I became clear-headed in this world, it's only been a few years! At first, I was always lying in bed. After recovering, I saw dead people for the first time, and so many at once... Vomiting is okay, getting used to it is good!"

  The three princes' deeds were known to them as Li Yuan's personal soldiers! Think back to the year when they chatted with a family who was about to be killed by the prince in front of their eyes! The terror that flashed in their eyes was immediately suppressed, and they unconsciously took a few steps back from the prince they had just despised. Imagine the situation at the time, these people who came out of the sea of corpses all felt afraid and disgusted!

  "I must cast aside my former identity!" Li Yuanba thought to himself, and the stench of blood and the horror of the corpses began to fade. "From now on, I will kill even more than this! Don't speak of封侯事, one general's achievement is built on the withering of ten thousand bones!" He picked up the large hammer by his side and turned towards the main tent!

  "Don't talk to me about the title of Marquis, when one general's success is built on the withering of ten thousand bones." As he muttered this poem by Li Yuanba that spoke to the cruelty of war, these few illiterate bodyguards were stunned.

  With their propaganda, Han Lin naturally also entered the ears! Is this what my husband said? "One general's achievement is worth a thousand bones..."

  Due to Li Yuanba's enlightenment, the excitement of getting married was not that high. After Li Hui dispersed all the soldiers who were summoned by the imperial edict, he was busy reorganizing those 600,000 surrendered soldiers for a good while. When three months of repair and reorganization had passed, it was already late July!

  At this time, Yang Guang became enthusiastic and announced to the world that he would go on a northern tour. When the news reached the Turkic Khan, he personally led tens of thousands of cavalrymen to intercept and kill Yang Guang!

  Yicheng Princess, a member of the imperial family of the Sui Dynasty. In the 19th year of Kaihuang (599 AD), Anyi Princess died after marrying Qimin Khan. To develop good relations with the Turks, Emperor Wen of Sui married Yicheng Princess to Qimin Khan. Throughout the Sui dynasty, only one Turkic leader married two princesses: Qimin Khan. Yicheng Princess lived among the Turks for nearly thirty years and was a Khatun (consort) of Qimin Khan, Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Illig Khan. She was killed by Tang general Li Jing in February 626 AD during the fourth year of the Zhenguan era.

  As a princess of the Sui imperial family, Princess Yicheng sent an urgent message to Yang Guang, but it was too late. When Emperor Yangdi entered Yanmen (now Dai County, Shanxi) and was surrounded, the Turks launched a surprise attack on Yanmen, capturing 39 of the 41 cities, with arrows reaching the emperor's chariot, causing panic among the officials. Emperor Yangdi ordered troops to be recruited from all over the country to rush to his rescue, but Li Yuan had to stay behind to handle affairs, so he thought for a moment and let Li Shimin lead the army to save him.

  When Li Shimin set out on a military campaign, Li Yuanba had already taken several of Li Yuan's personal guards and left a day earlier!

  "Han Lin, I know you're disappointed in your heart! But this time, I want you to know that your husband, I, Li Yuanba, is the most overbearing person under the sky!"

  Without mentioning Li Yun's great anger after knowing, Li Yuanba and five others, carrying eight horses overnight, rushed straight to Yanmen! Three horses pulled a large cart, inside which was a pair of drumming golden hammers! After all, Li Yuanba's body was the one in the game, his riding skills were acquired at rebirth! Due to being within Shanxi territory, three days later, Li Yuanba and others were considered fast among the rescue team!

  Arriving on the battlefield, there were still several rescue teams in a few directions. However, since the Turkic cavalry had tens of thousands of men waiting for the arrival of other rescue teams, they were rushing to rest and relieve their physical strength along the way!

  Li Yuanba and several others arrived at the edge of the battlefield, where tens of thousands of cavalrymen surrounded the isolated Yanmen Castle without end. The horses of several people also fell to the ground exhausted.

  "Master, do you see that I've been waiting for the second master to arrive? With just us few, we're basically nothing! The guard looked a bit dizzy, there were too many enemies, they couldn't even be considered weak in numbers or strength!"

  "Haha! All of you, stand still and don't move!" He said, walking up to the large vehicle, kicking open the door with one foot, bending down to pick up that pair of super divine artifacts! Walking towards the dense Turkic cavalry, he turned his head and shouted at the loyal soldiers who wanted to stop him: "All of you, stand still and watch! Today, I'm going to go on a big killing spree!"

  Charge towards the cavalry battle array like a vast sea with a speed no less than that of galloping horses! When Li Yuanba appeared in front of the Turkic cavalry with his twin hammers, they seemed to have seen God. "What's that kid doing?"

  When they rushed into their eyes, it was only a few dozen feet away. After all, the Turks' attention was focused on the distant Yanmen Gate!

  "Get out of my way!" Li Yuanba shouted, his feet pushing off the ground with great force, lifting him more than 10 meters into the air! His twin hammers, held high, suddenly emitted a dazzling purple light, like a small sun, and smashed straight down onto the cavalry formation on the ground! It was a familiar move, like something out of a kung fu movie - jump up, land on both feet, then slam your arms down. Li Yuanba repeated this motion, ignoring the cavalry's raised curved blades, his feet brutally trampling through the bodies of men and horses, his waist exerting great force as his hammers smashed through several people and horses before crashing to the ground with a deafening "BOOM" that sent shockwaves in all directions! It looked impressive, but in reality, Li Yuanba didn't relax until he saw that his hammers had struck the ground without harming him... He was worried about accidents, after all - knives and guns couldn't hurt him, but what if something unexpected happened? Jumping so high, then stepping on those sharp curved blades... What if his defenses were broken? Luckily, everything went smoothly!

  "Haha!" Li Yuanba felt relieved, his right arm raised to the left side of his body in a 360-degree sweep. His left hand's massive hammer swung with inertia and waist power from his feet in a large circle, smashing into the ground before jumping up again with both hammers striking simultaneously! This set of movements wouldn't be complete without killing at least 180 people! The crowd was densely packed, oh yeah, if it were someone else, they would definitely be blocked by this wall of flesh and blood. But this is Li Yuanba, his divine power can break through the heavens! There's no feeling, just a sense of having an endless supply of energy that doesn't seem to touch the ground, just thinking about Li Yuanba's overbearingness!

  The dense crowd suddenly burst into a loud noise, causing the ears of hundreds of horses to bleed. It can be imagined how great a loss this was for the Tujue cavalry! Just like the poem says - "Horses trample the connected camps!"
