Chapter 745 Phoenix Returns to Its Nest (31)

Before the Feng Dynasty could send troops to provide support, neighboring small countries began to support the small countries that were being attacked.

Previously, Fengchao had no intention of encroaching on their land, so they were naturally just watching the show as Fengchao attacked Xiwu Kingdom.

The country outside the mountains is now preparing to be destroyed, so the other smaller countries naturally have no reason to stand idly by and watch the show.

After all, if one is gone, the other will be just around the corner.

The entire Dongqin Kingdom is now mobilizing its resources to resist the army from outside the mountains, while simultaneously cursing them for being insane, coming all this way just to attack their country, and having absolutely no manners.

Fortunately, several neighboring countries sent troops to support them; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to hold out for long on their own.

As for whether or not to ask the Feng Dynasty for help, Sun Siwei, the ruler of Dongqin Kingdom, had his own ideas. If he asked for support, he was afraid that the Feng Dynasty would take the opportunity to annex it. If he did not ask for support, he was afraid that small countries like theirs would not be able to defeat it.

Xiong Bufan has had people thoroughly investigate the matter over the past few days. The country outside the mountains has already achieved unification and even has its own national name, "Zhou". Its current expansion is aimed at achieving true unification of the world.

The army sent by the Zhou state consisted of the most elite troops from when they first conquered the world, and a large number of them were still en route, with a continuous stream of support and supplies.

Without the support of the Phoenix Dynasty, the surrounding small countries probably wouldn't last more than half a year before being completely destroyed.

Su Yang, who had been promoted to the rank of General Shenfeng, a second-grade general, bowed to Xiong Bufan and said, "Your Majesty, I believe we should first annex the surrounding small countries so that we will have the strength to fight against the Zhou Kingdom."

Xiong Bufan didn't want to support so many people, otherwise he would have achieved unification two years ago.

"I think we can send troops to support Dongqin Kingdom first, on the condition that it pays tribute to me for fifty years. What do you think?"

Liu Tong: "Your Majesty is wise, and I agree."

Su Yang stubbornly said, "Your Majesty, I still think it would be better to conquer them all."

Xiong Bufan felt that he had given this person a much higher official position, to the point that he overlooked whether the man had the brains to use such great power.

"You should read more books, consult a strategist to analyze the situation, and then talk to me."

Knowing he had been rejected, Su Yang respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiong Bufan: "Are there any people questioning Laozi now?"

If not, then send troops.

The ministers dared not point out any grammatical errors in Xiong Bufan's sentences, and respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"

Xiong Bufan: "If you have something to report, speak now; otherwise, the court may adjourn."

Minister of War: "Your Majesty, do we need to conscript soldiers?"

"Let's recruit soldiers first. If that doesn't work, I'll personally go to the battlefield. I'll lead the army myself."

Demons and gods cannot directly intervene in human wars, but Xiong Bufan is now the emperor, and she must protect her country.

Kongkong felt that Xiong Bufan always made excuses for himself, but many things still needed to be stopped.

The attack by Zhou Kingdom on Dongqin Kingdom has caused great anxiety among the people of Feng Dynasty. Zhou Ying and Wu Xinran have been watching what Xiong Bufan will do, wondering what they could do if they were to take power.

Wang Shijun cooks delicious meals for Xiong Bufan every day to nourish his body, afraid that Xiong Bufan will get tired.

Nanxing is a bit confused now. Zhou Guo's attack was too sudden. He doesn't know whether to continue seducing her or return to China. Everything is not going according to plan.

However, it's best to report back first; it's good to be a spy for the Southern Liang Kingdom for now.

When a country is strong, its people are not afraid of being conscripted; they hope to make contributions to the country and achieve great things.

Liu Tong is in this position with trepidation, and is now starting to prepare military pay, provisions, and funds for the Ministry of Works to manufacture weapons.

Xiong Bufan oversaw the progress of various matters and instructed Shangguan Yi to contact Sun Siwei, the ruler of Dongqin Kingdom, and persuade him to voluntarily sign the treaty. He threatened that if Sun Siwei refused, Dongqin Kingdom would be destroyed before the treaty was signed.

The provisions are already on their way to Dongqin Kingdom, and the 100,000-strong army is also en route.

This expedition was led by an unknown young general and a general with many years of combat experience. The young general was eager to make a name for himself.

Xiong Bufan found Wu Xinran and Zhou Ying, "Which of you is willing to go and support Dongqin Kingdom?"

Going to the battlefield can be a big or small matter, but doing it wrong can cost you your life.

Zhou Ying said sincerely, "Your Majesty, I am willing to protect my Great Feng Dynasty and drive away the barbarians."

Wu Xinran hesitated for a moment, but seeing Zhou Ying's words, she said, "I am also willing."

Xiong Bufan scratched his head. If one of these two people controlled the military and the other controlled the court, they would easily split in the future. But if he cut off one of them, he couldn't bear to do it.

Seeing Xiong Bufan's worried expression, Wu Xinran knew she had answered too late, but there was no other way now.

Xiong Bufan: "Zhou Ying will go to the battlefield, and Wu Xinran will provide support. If they don't do well, their entire family will be executed."

Wu Xinran glanced at Zhou Ying and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Their family is now acting dishonestly, and Xiong Bufan feels he can find an excuse to confiscate their property. A successful emperor cannot be bound by his family.

Xiong Bufan: "You two take charge for now, I'll keep an eye on you."

Zhou Ying, I'll give you a token in a bit, so get ready.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Now that these two are managing the affairs of the court, Xiong Bufan can finally get some rest.

Kongkong still didn't have much confidence in the two of them. They had been following Xiong Bufan around the whole time, and he didn't know if they could manage to go out alone this time.

Xiong Bufan: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

As long as a bear is diligent and loves to worry, it will eventually exhaust itself to death.

Kongkong: "Okay."

Zhou Ying and Wu Xinran, along with their families, will eventually have to be eliminated; it all depends on their abilities.

After the two left, Xiong Bufan sat leisurely in his chair. He had already figured out a way to resolve the crisis; all that was left was to execute it.

The conversation hadn't been kept in the dark about Shangguan Yi, and now she couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"It's even more real than pearls. Don't just sit there, go find me some food."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shangguan Yi couldn't interfere with Xiong Bufan's decision, but the thought of handing over the country to the two of them like that made her somewhat resentful; this was the royal family's empire.

When Zhou Ying came out, some people couldn't believe it. She was now a general, ready to go to the battlefield and clear obstacles for the Feng Dynasty. She would definitely not let His Majesty down.

Wu Xinran was a little stunned. She had now gained power, which was much faster than climbing the ranks step by step as an official.

Zhou Ying still remembered her time on the battlefield. Shortly after leaving the palace, she clasped her hands in a fist and said to Wu Xinran, "Lord Wu, I entrust the future to you."

Wu Xinran: "You're too kind, Lord Zhou. I'll have to rely on you a lot in the future."

"Please, Lord Wu."

"Please, Lord Zhou."

They were confident that they could manage the relations between Zhou Kingdom, Dongqin Kingdom and Feng Dynasty, so they were not worried about being wiped out by the Nine Clans Elimination Game.
