Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the news of the destruction of the Dongyue Kingdom spread to the other countries, they were terrified. They finally realized that the Wei Kingdom was no longer a country that could be easily controlled.
In the Yin Country’s Imperial Palace, Emperor Yin sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy expression as he listened to the officials below discuss.
“I think we should withdraw our troops as soon as possible. The Wei Kingdom is no longer the Wei that we can easily manipulate. Instead of spending a lot of effort to fight a battle that we don’t even know if we have a chance of winning, it’s better to conserve our strength and wait for the right opportunity.”
Another official retorted, “We have already formed a feud with the Wei
Kingdom. Even if we withdraw our troops, it will not change this fact. The Wei Kingdom will not pretend that nothing has happened. When they recover, we will be the ones to be counterattacked.”
“But now that Dongyue Country has been destroyed, the one who destroyed Dongyue Country is Ming Zhiyan. I have never heard of his name before. This is the first time he has led an army to fight in this war, but he has won every time. He destroyed Dongyue Kingdom at an unprecedented speed. This child is not easy to deal with. Now that Dongyue has been destroyed, I’m afraid the
Emperor of Wei will send him to other battlefields. If he faces us, I’m afraid…” He did not finish his sentence, but everyone present knew.
“So I have no other choice but to retreat?” Emperor Yin asked with a dark expression.
Everyone’s eyes shifted away. No one wanted to start this.
In the end, it was the old Grand Chancellor who stood up and said in a heavy tone, “Your Majesty, there’s nothing we can do about this. Who asked the heavens to stand on the side of Wei?”
His words made everyone’s hearts sink.
That’s right, who asked the heavens to stand on the side of the Wei Kingdom. 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Not only the Yin Kingdom, but the Qing Kingdom and the Yi Kingdom also had the same thoughts. Their original plan was to surround the Wei Nation and slowly drag it out. When they had no more power to resist, they would use the least amount of strength to divide it up.
Who would have thought that the Wei Country, which they had already regarded as a certain victory, would suddenly produce Princess Ding’an. Ever since that Princess Ding’an appeared, Wei Country had changed completely.
Princess Ding’an not only brought high-yield grain to Wei Country, but she also invented many other things. All these things helped Wei Country advance.
However, the most important thing was still to produce a high yield of food. Food was related to the survival of a country.
How good would it be if they could find high-yield grain in their country? They would be the ones who could unify the world today.
At this moment, people from all over the world were thinking the same thing. They were both envious.
In July, the various countries began to withdraw their troops. This war lasted for seven months, and the Wei Kingdom’s border finally regained its peace.
In this war, the Wei Kingdom had not only taken over the entire territory of
Dongyue, but they had also taken down two cities of the Yi Kingdom, three cities of the Qing Kingdom, and two cities of the Yin Kingdom, doubling the size of their entire territory.
In the eighth month, the army began to return. When they passed by the cities, the people of the cities lined the streets to welcome them. They gave all the things that they could not bear to eat to the passing army.
However, the Wei army had strict discipline and could not take a single piece of bread or coin from the people. Therefore, the things that the people took out were returned the same way they came. This made the people both moved and reluctant.
When the army returned to the Capital, they were warmly welcomed by the people.
People were waiting ten miles away from the Capital. Among these people were the relatives of the soldiers, the commoners who simply welcomed the return of the army, and the officials sent by the Emperor to pick them up.
The first batch of people to return was the Crown Prince. When they saw the imposing Crown Prince on the high horse, the people cheered..
