Chapter 2805 The Hundred-Generation Emperor

When Alex was 20 years old, he was still studying military affairs, politics and various arts. He always believed that he would become a great scholar like his teacher Aristotle in the future.

But when he was 20 years old, everything changed. His father was assassinated at his sister's wedding. Before Alex had time to think about it, he was pushed onto the throne.

But before he could sit on the throne, suddenly, the city-states and tribes conquered under his father's high-pressure rule rebelled one after another, and more than one declared independence and broke away from the kingdom.

What's even more outrageous is that the deceased father was not good at domestic affairs, and left him a debt-ridden mess. The entire property only had a few gold cups and silver bowls, less than 60 talents of treasure, but the debt was as much as 500 talents...

Everyone was waiting for their kingdom to fall apart, waiting for themselves to be completely finished, so that they could divide the territory and go back to their own homes.

The pride in his bones and the glory in his blood made him unwilling to sit back and wait for death. Alex rose up in anger and first led his army to the north of the continent, conquered the Illyrian tribes that betrayed him, and drove the Thracians back to the sea. At this time, riots broke out in the big city-state of Thebes, and rumors were everywhere.

If Thebes did not suppress it, the consequences would be disastrous. Alex decided to kill one to warn the hundred, and he made a prompt decision to quickly march south and unexpectedly appeared at the gates of Thebes at lightning speed.

The Thebans could not believe their eyes and were all panicked. The city of Thebes was captured and turned into a pile of rubble, and all the residents were sold into slavery.

But now, Alex came to a conclusion that made him extremely depressed after calculating the accounts.

Because of the problems of suppressing the rebellion and expanding the army, he not only failed to pay off the old debt of 500 talents owed by his father over the years, but also owed another 800 talents of new debt.

With a headache, Alex could avoid debts on one hand, and pin his hopes of paying off debts on obtaining huge spoils through large-scale conquest wars on the other. He simply went all out and embarked on an expedition to another powerful empire, Bochum.

When the forces of both sides were put on the table, Alex, who came excitedly, was suddenly shocked.

He only had 30,000 infantry, 5,000 cavalry and 160 warships. The Bochum Empire had hundreds of thousands of troops and 400 warships...

What a huge disparity in forces!

Near the city of Issus, Alex led his troops to join the "Marton Phalanx" and defeated Bochum's commander, Darius III. Darius' mother, wife and two daughters were captured, and about 100,000 infantry and cavalry.

After a victory in the first battle, Alex marched south and launched a large-scale decisive battle with Bochum in Gaugamela. Darius III had carefully prepared and had 40,000 cavalry, 200,000 infantry, 200 scythe-wheel chariots and 15 war elephants.

Alex only had 50,000 troops, and Darius III had an absolute advantage.

But what is particularly interesting is that when Alex ordered his soldiers to rest and recuperate for the upcoming battle, Darius III, who had a large army, kept his soldiers awake all night for fear of a night attack.

As a result, Darius III's soldiers stood all night, listless and without fighting spirit. As soon as the second day started, Alex drove the main column of the cavalry to use the gap to quickly penetrate the enemy formation and approach Darius III's camp. Darius III was defeated and fled, and Boqijin's army was defeated.

Alex's army began to conquer the entire continent from then on. Wherever they went, they were invincible. Alex's glory shone in every corner of the continent.

Until this day, Alex's army arrived in Virginia City, and heard that there was a famous prophecy in the city: hundreds of years ago, the king of Virginia tied a complex knot on his ox cart and declared that whoever could untie it would become the new king of the world. Since then, many people have come to see this knot every year, but they can never find the end of the rope. Most people just look at it, and no one has ever calmed down to find ways to untie this difficult knot.

Alex was very interested in this prophecy and went to see this mysterious knot.

Alex observed this knot for a long time, but he couldn't even find the end of the rope. Just when he was about to turn around and leave. At this time, he suddenly thought of why not use his own rules of action to untie this knot?

So, Alex drew his sword, aimed at the knot, and fiercely split the knot in half with one sword. This difficult knot that had been preserved for hundreds of years was easily untied.

One sword cut off the knot that could not be untied.

Alex held his sword and stood in front of the king's knot. He was speechless for a long time, and all the warriors around him couldn't help but lower their heads and cheered enthusiastically: "King, King, King..."

Alex heard the cheers of the warriors and subjects, and couldn't help but think in his heart, what is a king? If you want to become a real king, you need to open not the knot that you can't find the end of, but the knot in your heart.

The king's knot is not a knot, but a knot in your heart. Only by not following the rules, using the simplest thinking and the most direct method, finding the target and taking action first, can you untie this knot. Only in this way can you become the real king of the world.

What is a king?

The king is the one who makes the rules. If you don't even have the courage to break the rules of the previous king, how can you become the king who makes new rules.

After understanding this truth, Alex stood in front of the king's knot for a long time in silence, holding his dagger.

Less than half a year later, Alex suddenly fell seriously ill, leaving behind a huge kingdom and passing away. Before leaving, he ordered his subordinates to leave holes on both sides of his coffin to stretch out his two hands, to show future generations that he left empty-handed despite his lifelong struggle.

After Alex's death, the huge empire fell apart, and the continent returned to war.

In every dynasty, there were many heroes, but none of them could unify the empire to the same height as Alex.

This year, Tiemu was born on the beautiful Hanggai grassland with vast sky and vast wilderness.

Originally, Tiemu had a happy childhood, but when he was nine years old, his father was poisoned to death. Talihutai of the Chiwu tribe of the grassland took the opportunity to stir up trouble and incited the Mongolian tribe to abandon Tiemu and his son, causing his family to fall from the position of tribal leader into the abyss of suffering.

Just after leaving the tribe, some people were worried that Tiemu would take revenge when he grew up, so they raided Tiemu's house and planned to execute the captured Tiemu. Tiemu managed to escape with the help of his father's old subordinate Suoerhanshila and his sons Shenbai and Chilaowen. As the eldest son, he took his mother and brothers and sisters to the uninhabited mountainous area and evaded pursuit for several years.

In the mountains, on a snowy night, a group of thieves robbed his family of only a few horses. In the fight with the thieves, Tiemu was shot in the throat by the thieves. In the crisis, a young man named Borshu drew his sword to help, drove away the thieves, and took back the horses, so Tiemu was spared.

Tiemu came to a conclusion from then on that if a person is not strong, he will only be beaten. Since then, he has been practicing hard, while constantly expanding his tribe and training his own troops.

However, after he became an adult, when Tiemu had just got married, his enemies raided Tiemu's tent again. In the melee, Tiemu fled into the mountains, and his wife and half-mother became prisoners of others.

Disasters did not defeat Tiemu, but strengthened his revenge. He vowed to take back everything his family had lost.

However, at this time, Tiemu knew that he had to have strength to gain a foothold.

So, Tiemu gritted his teeth and presented the most precious "black sable fur" in his wife's dowry to Wang Khan, the most powerful commander on the grassland at that time. Using Wang Khan's power, Tiemu gradually gathered the scattered tribes.

As his power continued to grow, Tiemu began to seek revenge on the enemies who killed his father and grandfather and took his wife away. He defeated the Zhuerqi tribe, killed its leader, and got the famous general Muhua and his son to surrender.

The tribes of Hanggai grassland were afraid of Tiemu's rise, and they nominated Jamukha as "Gur Khan", that is, the Khan of Khans, and vowed to be enemies with Tiemu.

The twelve tribes organized a coalition and launched a fierce attack on Tiemu's troops.

In one battle, the mob led by Jamukha could not withstand the fierce attack of Tiemu's elite, and collapsed in less than a day, and Jamukha surrendered.

The coalition of twelve tribes could not withstand Tiemu's troops, and the mainland history called it the Battle of Thirteen Wings.

After this battle, Tiemu unified the various tribes on the grassland. After that, the cavalry under Tiemu began to conquer the world.

Wherever the army pointed, it was invincible, destroying Jin, Xixia, Song, and Europe... An unprecedented huge empire stood tall in the world.

Tiemu became an emperor of all ages.

When he sat on the throne, overlooking the mountains and rivers, and overlooking hundreds of millions of people, he suddenly thought in his heart: "Is this the king?"
