Chapter 311: Xiao Guanyin's Ambition

As night fell, the sky was devoid of stars, and darkness enveloped the earth. Tens of thousands of cavalry galloped across the grasslands, their hooves reverberating, raising a cloud of dust that filled the sky!
After the cavalry passed, the grassland soil was stirred up, and two figures emerged from the ground, looking at the distant cavalry with a cold smile at the corners of their mouths!
"Reporting to the commander, a large force of Western Liao cavalry has already crossed our army and is heading towards the direction of Du Mo City!"
Getting the news of He Shu's return, everyone couldn't help but rejoice. To avoid the iron cavalry of the Western Liao North Court, it was time for them to make a big move!
"Spread my command, march at full speed, and approach the central capital of Western Liao!" Huàn Qí decisively ordered!
"Our army is still a hundred miles away from the capital of Xiliao. If we march at full speed, it will surely attract attention. In that case, the Xiliao Dynasty will definitely become aware of our plan to surprise attack the capital, and it will be impossible to discuss further!" Blood Butcher frowned and said.
"It doesn't matter, after all, General doesn't really intend to capture the capital of Western Liao. The reason for choosing to attack the capital is just to create panic and show off military strength!”
Huan Qi laughed and said, "Moreover, Zhongdu is the capital of the Western Liao Dynasty. Even if the Northern Court Iron Cavalry leaves the city, there are still defending armies. Even if we appear under the walls of Zhongdu unnoticed, it would be extremely difficult to capture it!"
"Not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of one in a million!"
Blood Float Tusi said, "Although it's unlikely, it's not impossible. We should give it a try after all!"
"If we had enough time, I would definitely want to give it a try. Unfortunately, we are short on time!"
Huanqi said: "When the Western Liao North Courtyard iron cavalry arrives at the Dumo City and finds that our army has already left, they will definitely change direction and chase after us. If we are caught up by the Western Liao North Courtyard iron cavalry, our army will truly have nowhere else to go!"
"Therefore, before the Iron Cavalry of the Northern Court turns back towards Zhongdu, our army must advance towards Longcheng, so we cannot waste too much time in Xiliao!"
Huanqi said, "And if our army wants to appear under the walls of Zhongdu without anyone knowing, we must hide our movements and can only march at night, and we need to avoid the Xiliao cities and take a detour, which requires a significant amount of time!"
"Although that's the case, it's still regrettable that he didn't enter the palace!"
Blood Butcher said, "Central Capital is the first city of the Western Liao Dynasty, with a population of one million. If we slaughter Central Capital, that would be truly satisfying!"
"If there is an opportunity for Great Wei to return to the grasslands in the future amidst the chaos of the world, there is no need to rush at this moment!"
Qí Huāi said, "For us, the most important thing now is to leave the Western Liao Dynasty and go to Longcheng and the Northern Desert, where we can unleash a bloody catastrophe!"
General Huanqi led his troops straight to the capital, with flags and banners fluttering all the way. It naturally did not escape the eyes of the Western Liao Dynasty. Along the way, the cities of Western Liao sent messengers to the capital to report the news, and then closed their city gates!
After entering the Western Liao Dynasty, Huan Qi massacred nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the Western Liao. Then, he destroyed the Southern Imperial Army of the Western Liao. The garrison troops of the Western Liao city dare not go out of the city to resist Huan Qi's army?
Inside the Palace of the Western Liao, Xiao Guanyin was filled with joy. After the fall of Xiao Yuwu, she took full control of the Western Liao empire. With the retreat of the Western You army from Longcheng, Qu Chulü had no choice but to lay down his weapons and surrender. In the Western Liao dynasty, there was only one troublemaker left, and that was Huan Qi!
Now that the Northern Army Cavalry has been mobilized, it is expected that the Western Liao Dynasty will not be able to bounce for many days. The world of the Western Liao Dynasty is at peace and can be expected soon!
"Your Majesty, this is the coronation ceremony that I have prepared. Please have a look!"
After the death of Yelu Dashan, Chen Yu rose to power and became the Prime Minister of Western Liao. His first task was to prepare for the coronation ceremony of Xiao Guanyin!
"Although Western Liao imitates Central Plains culture, it will not last long. It is for the scholar to take the initiative in such matters!"
萧观音如此说话，也是帝王心术，展示她对陈屿安的信任罢了！
虽然知道知道这是帝王心术，陈屿安心中依旧感动至极，可是他也清楚，这种事情哪是他陈屿安可以做主的？
So it took a whole hour to roughly explain the process of the coronation ceremony to Xiao Guanyin!
"I didn't expect a coronation ceremony to be so complicated and cumbersome!"
Xiao Guanyin shook her head and said, obviously intentionally deleting some of the process!
"Queen, the enthronement ceremony is to highlight the king's filial piety, righteousness, and benevolence, so that the people trust him. Although it is complex and cumbersome, there are merits to it!" Chen Yu'an smiled.
"The Central Plains culture is indeed vast and profound. There are so many different opinions about a simple enthronement hall!"
"Xiao Guanyin sighed and said, 'Western Liao has imitated the Central Plains for many years, expecting to learn something, but unexpectedly found nothing. It's just like a drop in the ocean!'"
"Chen Xiang, when can I, Xi Liao, learn the essence of Central Plains culture?"
Chen Yu'an said, "Central Plains culture has a long history. If you want to learn its essence, it will take some time. You don't need to worry, Your Majesty!"
"Is there really no shortcut?" Xiao Guanyin asked.
"Accumulation comes from time and effort. Some things cannot be rushed, otherwise it might lead to failure and cause endless trouble," Chen Yu'an shook his head and said.
“如此说来，是没有速成之法呢？”萧观音问道！
“没有！”陈屿安笃定说道！
“在我看来，其实是有的！”萧观音玩味说道！
"Please make it clear, Your Majesty!" Chen Yu'an asked in confusion!
"It is indeed difficult for the Xiliao horsemen to learn the essence of Central Plains culture! Perhaps it will take decades, centuries, or even thousands of years to learn. Even after thousands of years, the Hu people will still be Hu people, and the Han people will still be Han people!"
Xiao Guanyin said, "Since we can't learn it, let's possess it!"
"Culture is something of the spiritual level, how can we possess it?" Chen Yu'an shook his head.
"Why not? Let the Western Liaoning nomads abandon their grassland customs, let the Western Liaoning Dynasty integrate into the Central Plains, and become a part of the Central Plains!"
Xiao Guanyin said, "As long as my Western Liao dynasty becomes a great unified empire like the Qin and Han dynasties, Central Plains culture will be my Western Liao culture, and Western Liao culture will be Central Plains culture!"
Chen Yu'an was shocked beyond words. He never expected that Xiao Guanyin not only became the Empress of Western Liao, but also wanted to become the Empress of the entire world!
"In the eyes of the Central Plains people, the ethnic minorities are different. They can never gain recognition from the Central Plains people. The so-called ruling over the Central Plains is nothing but a big joke!"
Xiao Guanyin said, "If the Western Liao Dynasty can learn the same culture and share the same beliefs as the people in central China, perhaps they can gain recognition from the central plains!"
"But the Western Liao Dynasty is unlikely to give up their cows and sheep!" Chen Yu'an said.
"Now that the power in the Western Liao is in my hands, what I say is the divine will. They may not agree, but they must act according to my will!" said Xiao Guanyin arrogantly!
"Queen's actions may easily lose the hearts of the people of Western Liao, so I hope the Queen will be careful!" said Chen Yu'an respectfully!
"To lose is nothing more than death and no support; to win is to have the world at your fingertips!"
Xiao Guanyin said, "The risk is great, but the rewards are greater. It's worth a try!"
