If we don’t raid enough grain, our elders and children will starve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing heard this, then asked: “Why don’t you buy it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He expected Tunmengke to reply with excuses—no money, transport difficulties, or the An Yong court refusing to sell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, Tunmengke looked at Chu Danqing as if he were an idiot, and said firmly: “Buying means trading our cattle and sheep.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Raiding is different—we get grain, gold, silver, treasures, women, and clothes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why buy when we can raid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The An Yong court is wealthy. They don’t miss what we take.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Chu Danqing speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At least pretend to be pitiful,” Chu Danqing thought—he’d been ready to help them through the hardship, but now he planned to kill Tunmengke outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tunmengke, however, sneered: “The eagles of the steppe are the most—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Chu Danqing ordered his summoned beings to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yangtian General charged ahead, the Golden Strength Warriors followed close behind, and the Dragon Horses pulled their cart, surging with wind and cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their numbers were fewer than the Caogu Army, their strength far surpassed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tunmengke’s expression hardened, and he immediately organized his troops to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the Yangtian General, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did manage to organize resistance—it was no more effective than paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than ten minutes later, Chu Danqing stood before Tunmengke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yangtian General reached out and seized Tunmengke’s throat, lifting him into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now I give you two choices,” Chu Danqing said, voice low: “Either you return to your tribe with your men, or your men return with your ashes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tunmengke swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation had changed too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defeating the Caogu Army head-on was an A-rank task, but if Chu Danqing captured the leader first, the difficulty dropped drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I—” Tunmengke was about to agree, but his subordinates refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We return empty-handed? What will our people do this winter? Kill!” someone roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Caogu soldiers, who had hesitated upon seeing Tunmengke captured, launched another attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tunmengke shuddered—he knew exactly who had shouted that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, let me reason with them,” Tunmengke hurriedly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was Tunmengke’s deputy, usually obedient to his orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was one problem: everyone wanted to rise higher, yet a superior stood in the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To advance, you had to remove that obstacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the perfect opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tunmengke turned pale with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing was exasperated—what kind of madness was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fighting was so blunt and crude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We could have talked this through,” Chu Danqing sighed, then immediately activated the Five Elements Spirit Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no chance of persuasion now—the Caogu Army’s morale had surged; they wouldn’t stop until they were broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for their elders and children starving if they failed to raid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the people of An Yong? Wouldn’t they starve too if the raiders succeeded?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, actually, the people they raided didn’t even wait to starve—they were killed outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle erupted again, and the Yin Heavenly Maiden’s large-scale spells never ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Caogu soldier who rushed forward was instantly drowned in magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many didn’t even react before being consumed, leaving only corpses behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As bodies piled up, the Caogu soldiers grew terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They raided for money, grain, and women—not to die in droves, and not to be next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, grain wasn’t impossible to buy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tunmengke was heartbroken—these were the tribe’s able-bodied youths; each death was a permanent loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising a child into a strong warrior took immense cost—imagine the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steppe wasn’t just home to the Shiwei Tribe—other tribes existed, and competition was fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had marched south and surrounded An Yong’s capital not because they were strong, but because someone had opened the gates for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tunmengke wanted to stop the Yin Heavenly Maiden’s slaughter, but he was powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, as the death toll mounted, the Shiwei Caogu Army finally feared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who had secretly incited the chaos was dragged out and hanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now shared Yang Tai’s fate, though his body was more intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, can you return?” Chu Danqing looked calmly at Tunmengke. “Or do you still feel the losses aren’t enough? I can help you lose even more of your able-bodied men.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a blunt threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous events had shown they feared power, not virtue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he not acted as he did, Chu Danqing wouldn’t have spoken this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had originally let them go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course we can return—but we can’t go back,” Tunmengke said, troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing frowned—how could they come but not leave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We came with the help of your vassal, Prince An. We need his help to return.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prince An set a deadline—we must wait seven days before departing,” Tunmengke said, uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, forcing them to cross half of An Yong again? Success was possible, but how many would survive to reach the steppe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing found this extremely troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qianjing was a follower of the Apostle—he had been away from his homeland too long to still be the old Prince An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps in his eyes, An Yong was merely a stepping stone to his goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now the problem was: how to send the Shiwei Caogu Army back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Tunmengke learned the truth, it would be a fight to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking Yang Qianzheng for help? Even less realistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shiwei Tribe had marched south, looted, and besieged the capital—now they’d lost, and you want him to help them return?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he did that, Yang Qianzheng’s reputation would be ruined, and all his future political moves would collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait seven more days? Do you think that’s reasonable?” Chu Danqing countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tunmengke gave a bitter smile: “You’re a high official of An Yong. What should I do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw the problem back at Chu Danqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning: you must solve this for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chu Danqing was clear-eyed—you’re a captured prisoner, and you dare speak to me like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he not wished to avoid unnecessary slaughter, he wouldn’t have wasted time talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I’m offering to solve your problem, and you expect me to fix it for you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he wouldn’t be polite anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Simple. Order your men to drop their weapons, strip off their armor, and bind their hands and feet with cloth as prisoners.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll plead with the An Yong Emperor to spare your lives,” Chu Danqing said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you can’t return, don’t return—stay in An Yong and be prisoners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if we don’t go back, our tribe’s—” Tunmengke didn’t finish—he met Chu Danqing’s cold gaze and dared not continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re all adults. You chose this path—you lost, so accept it,” Chu Danqing said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You invaded the south—if you won, that was your skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now you’ve lost, and I generously let you leave—yet you want to leave without paying any price?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then fine—don’t leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fool thought Chu Danqing was a fool to be taken advantage of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Shiwei Tribe suffering consequences? Adults must answer for their own actions, not expect others to clean up their mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing felt no guilt—he was good, not a saint. Why should he pay for Tunmengke’s mistakes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t his doing—it had nothing to do with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Tunmengke hadn’t been greedy, and had chosen legal, legitimate means, none of this would have happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, how many An Yong people did they kill during their southern raids? Are Shiwei lives worth more than those they slaughtered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We… surrender,” Tunmengke realized—Chu Danqing wasn’t negotiating; he was informing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give the order. My time is precious—I won’t waste it on you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright,” Tunmengke said, then began acting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Chu Danqing’s quest was completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Mission completed. You have received: 10,000 Paradise Points, +4 Attribute Points】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Paradise’s judgment, this counted as crushing the Shiwei Clan’s Caogu Army, since they all surrendered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire process went smoothly, and with the capital’s garrison also intervening, the Shiwei Clan’s Caogu Army was quickly integrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The general who led the troops here was the elderly commander previously felled by a single sword strike from the Pure Yang Heavenly General.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been reinstated by Yang Qianyuan and placed in command of the capital’s garrison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll take Tunmengke and these traitors to see the Emperor. You handle the aftermath here,” Chu Danqing said to the old general.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old general glanced at the Pure Yang Heavenly General, then nodded. “Your lordship may go. I’ll manage here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still harbored resentment toward the Pure Yang Heavenly General, but Yang Qianyuan had summoned him to the palace to assist Chu Danqing in crushing the Shiwei Clan’s Caogu Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he had mustered the capital’s garrison and arrived, Chu Danqing had already defeated Tunmengke, and the Shiwei Clan’s Caogu Army had surrendered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only come to clean up the mess, and for the sake of the bigger picture, he dared not defy Chu Danqing’s orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then thank you,” Chu Danqing replied, then ordered the Golden Strength Warriors to take down the court ministers from the flagpoles and carry them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Tunmengke and said, “Come on. You’re not injured—you can walk yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, if you don’t mind, I could have you bound and dragged before the Emperor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1581,"2026-06-20T00:54:41.633Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","de42d85c946b0bc2db9acd1337315081a802a42b53d2040f9ba2a3b03e617529","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-284","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-282",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
