Novel East
Chapter 36
At the court of Xia Kingdom, An Lushan was extremely agitated as he spoke, Your Majesty, Mo Kingdom is currently surrounded on three sides, facing adversity from all sides. Now is the time for us to raise our troops once again! Please grant your permission! Allow me to lead the army northward and seize a vast expanse of territory!
Having twice penetrated the territory of Mo Kingdom without gaining an inch of land, An Lushan felt a profound sense of regret.
Now that another opportunity had arisen, he believed it must not be missed.
The prospects for victory in this battle were high, and the other generals unanimously voiced their support, We are willing to expand the empires borders for Your Majesty!
However, Lin Beifan remained very calm, subtly shaking his head, My ministers, I understand your intentions, but Mo Kingdom is not so easily conquered. We must consider our actions carefully!
Everyone was somewhat taken aback.
You said it was difficult to fight, but you ended up beating them twice!
The second time, you even crushed the Mo Kingdoms Emperor, forcing him to flee a thousand miles, and pursued him all the way to their lair, leading to the complete fall of the Mo Kingdoms territory!
And now youre telling me that the Mo Kingdom is hard to fight?
Your Majesty need not worry, we now have 600,000 troops, strong and powerful, with formidable strength! Not only can we take down the Mo Kingdom, but we can also hold it! An Lushan once again spoke up to persuade.
Lin Beifan secretly smiled. So what?
All the good stuff beneath that land had been moved away by him, turning it into a barren wasteland.
With no minerals to mine and no land suitable for farming, what use would it be to take it?
If we were to conquer it, we would simply be wasting our own troops for nothing, and it would also cause friction with other nations. It would be very unwise.
Therefore, Lin Beifan still shook his head: No, we wont fight. Let those other countries battle it out! We just need to defend our own territory and prevent them from invading!
Your servant obeys the decree! An Lushan and the other generals were extremely frustrated.
You fought twice when you shouldnt have, and now you stubbornly refuse when you should fight!
This foolish emperor is really driving them mad!
But no matter how annoyed they were inside, they could only follow orders and act accordingly.
At that moment, Lin Beifan slapped his forehead and said, Right, didnt we just recruit 300,000 new soldiers?
Seizing the opportunity, An Lushan persuaded again, Yes, Your Majesty, we have indeed just recruited 300,000 new soldiers! After a month of training, they are already looking quite impressive! However, they have not yet tasted blood, so I would like to use this opportunity to let the new recruits experience battle. On one hand, it will give them a taste of blood, and on the other, it will help expand Your Majestys territory!
Lin Beifan nodded, Minister, you make a good point. Soldiers who have not seen blood cannot be considered warriors, incapable of protecting and defending our nation!
Yes, Your Majesty! An Lushan saw hope.
Lets do this!
Lin Beifan said with a tone of dissatisfaction, Recently, the An Kingdom has been very restless, constantly mocking and ridiculing me, calling me a foolish emperor. Ive been displeased with them for a long time! Minister An, you lead the new recruits to the border and have them train there. On one hand, it will be convenient for training, and on the other, it will show them our strength!
F*ck! All the civil and military officials were stunned.
The Kingdom of An is by no means inferior to their Xia Kingdom, only slightly less powerful than the Mo Kingdom. Its territory spans over 400,000 square miles, with a population of over 5 million and a total military force of 500,000.
Why would you not attack the greatly weakened Mo Kingdom but instead provoke the stronger An Kingdom? What kind of logic is that?
If you want to court death, you dont do it like that!
Your Majesty, that must not be done the officials pleaded in alarm.
Lin Beifan waved his hand dismissively: My ministers, theres no need to persuade me. The decision has been made, and its a happy decision!
The civil and military officials:
Under Lin Beifans adamant demand, An Lushan had no choice but to lead 300,000 green recruits to the border to conduct military exercises against the An Kingdom.
Everyone was dumbfounded by the unfolding battle.
Xia Kingdom has actually sent troops, but not to attack Mo Kingdom, but to attack An Kingdom? ๐ทโด๐๐ฎ๐ต๐ฎ๐ช๐๐ฝ.๐ธโด๐ถ
What is this foolish emperor thinking? Right now, Mo Kingdom is besieged on all sides, its downfall imminent. Xia Kingdom could easily take a bite out of them and expand their territory! But instead, they provoke the unscathed An Kingdomisnt this courting death?
Exactly, what kind of divine strategy is this? Its so unbelievable that I couldnt understand a little bit of it!
Well, he is the foolish emperor, isnt it only natural for him to do something like this?
What you said has actually left me speechless!
Everyone was dumbfounded and could only attribute it to Lin Beifan having been enchanted by a confusion spell again.
After all, he was a foolish emperor, prone to frequent confusion, so such behavior was normal and understandable.
Within the Mo Kingdoms imperial palace.
Upon learning of this matter, the Emperor of Mo Kingdom burst into laughter: Lin Beifan, by sending troops to An Kingdom at this time, you have relieved some of my pressure. I am truly grateful to you! Once I have recovered, I will surely repay you, at the very least by leaving your body intact!
.
Within the An Kingdoms imperial palace.
The Emperor of An Kingdom, on the other hand, was so furious that he cursed vehemently: This foolish emperor! His brain must have been kicked by a donkey! Instead of attacking Mo Kingdom, he comes to attack my An Kingdom!? Is this something a sane person would do? Foolish emperor! Idiot! Stupid donkey
After ranting for the duration of a tea session, scolding until his mouth was dry and his tongue parched, he finally stopped.
Yet, the anger still simmered within him.
Your Majesty, what should we do? an elderly minister asked cautiously.
The Emperor of An Kingdom flared up once more: What else can we do? Of course, we must divide our troops to confront the Xia Kingdom. Do you expect us to wait for them to attack us? After I conquer the Mo Kingdom, Ill take my revenge on that foolish emperor!
Yes, Your Majesty!
