Chapter 253: Chapter 251: Where Destiny Belongs_1

The reason Xiliang became a powerful nation was not due to its strong national policies or its unified national power, but because of its formidable cavalry. When the cavalry is strong, the army is strong, and when the army is strong, the nation is strong!

Xiliang bordered Rong, with vast lands in high-cold regions that were ideal for breeding good horses. The Jin Kingdom did not have such advantages.

In the Jin Kingdom, the cost of raising horses was extremely high. Feeding one horse required more grain than feeding thirty people. For years, the Jin Kingdom had been trading with Rong and Xiliang, but the downside was that the combat strength of the Jin Kingdom’s army would be constrained by other nations.

Bai Qingyan very rationally analyzed with the Crown Prince: “Moreover, if Your Highness has the heart for unification, then there will inevitably be a life-or-death battle between Rong and the Jin Kingdom in the future. Rather than waiting for Rong to recover and gain the strength to challenge the Jin Kingdom, it would be better to take down Rong now, while they are in turmoil.”

“But this time, the lands Xiliang ceded for compensation include high-cold regions suitable for horse breeding…” The Crown Prince thought for a moment. “I believe that Father will accept the jewels and horses! After all, the high-cold regions ceded by Xiliang are adjacent to Nandi. If the Jin Kingdom wants to raise horses there, it naturally needs to manage its relationship well with Nandi.”

“What does Your Highness think?” she asked.

“I also think… accepting the jewels and horses is the best way to proceed!” The Crown Prince tapped his fingers on the table. “In this battle in the southern frontier, the Jin Kingdom suffered heavy losses and needs time to recuperate! Moreover, Daliang’s intentions are unclear. If our entire army is entangled with Rong and Daliang attacks the Jin Kingdom, our country will be in grave danger.”

She pursed her lips and stopped persuading him.

Taking down Rong to prepare for future unification was indeed a gamble. The Monarch of Daliang did not dare to take that gamble, and neither did the monarch and the Crown Prince of the Jin Kingdom.

Suddenly, the Crown Prince’s carriage jolted unexpectedly, spilling a cup of tea on the table. Quan Yu and the coachman immediately reined in the horses.

Helter-skelter shouting came from outside.

“White Deer!”

“Sacred Deer!”

“Sacred Deer! It’s really the Sacred Deer! Look!”

“Oh my God! It really is the legendary white Sacred Deer!”

“White Sacred Deer! What a beautiful white Sacred Deer!”

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince hurriedly lifted the carriage curtain to look outside.

A pure white giant deer, with its majestic antlers spreading like tree branches, stood like a king. It elegantly and nobly raised its gracefully curved neck towards the direction of the marching troops. Its pristine white fur glowed with a layer of holy golden light under the evening sun.

The Jin Kingdom symbolized the white deer!

The Crown Prince had seen many white deer, but this was the first time he had seen one so beautiful and enormous!

He couldn’t help but dismount and look towards the high slope.

Zhang Duanrui was also stunned by the beauty of the giant deer.

Suddenly, the white deer seemed to be startled by something, raising its hooves and galloping crazily towards the marching troops. Its slender and beautiful legs possessed amazing power and explosiveness.

Zhang Duanrui hurriedly shielded the Crown Prince behind him, drawing his sword and shouting: “Protect His Highness! Quick! Protect His Highness! Your Highness, quickly get back into the carriage!”

[Our purpose is to make it go to the Crown Prince and submit to him in full view of everyone, allowing him to capture it and present it to His Majesty, not to kill it! If it dies, all our efforts will be in vain.] _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
