Chapter 35

Every time the Xia Kingdom is mentioned, he is reminded of Lin Beifans smug face, and anger wells up uncontrollably.

Damn Lin Beifan, dont be so smug! Sooner or later, I will lead my army southward, flatten the Xia Kingdom, capture you, and have you executed by lingchi to avenge both national and personal grievances!

The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom took several deep breaths to calm his inner rage because he knew that now was not the time to be angry.

First, solve the food problem, then talk about other things.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Without grain domestically, everything comes to a halt. Do any of you ministers have a good strategy? the Emperor of the Mo Kingdom asked.

Your Majesty, since there is no grain domestically and it will be several months until the autumn harvest, we have no choice but to purchase from abroad! However, those noble families are insatiably greedy, and we may have to pay a hefty price, an elderly minister said.

The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom nodded, expressing his distress, No matter the cost, we must secure enough grain. Otherwise, the nation is in peril! Minister Li, I entrust this matter to you!

By your command, Your Majesty! the elderly minister accepted the decree.

At that moment, the Emperor of the Mo Kingdom couldnt help but think of the Xia Kingdom and its foolish emperor.

They seem to have also purchased a large amount of food from outside, and they were even able to sustain a population of a million for a month!

An average noble family couldnt provide that much food!

This indicates that behind that foolish emperor, there is a huge power supporting him!

The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom became envious: That foolish emperor is incompetent and without virtue, why does he still receive the strong support of a major power? Its truly unjust!

Just then, a soldier hurriedly ran in.

Report! Urgent news!

The Emperor of the Mo Kingdoms face changed: Whats the matter that youre so panicked?

Your Majesty, the Peng Kingdom has dispatched an army of 200,000 to invade our country from the north!

The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom turned pale with shock: What, the Peng Kingdom has launched an attack?

Yes, Your Majesty, it is certain!

Your Majesty, the Xia Kingdom is currently engaged in mining, reclaiming wasteland, and digging canals; there are no signs of them deploying troops!

Thats a relief

The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom let out a slight sigh of relief and with a calm demeanor, issued his orders: Now that the Peng Kingdom, Shang Kingdom, and An Kingdom have all sent troops, amassing a total force of 600,000, while we only have 200,000 soldiers, we cannot confront them by force!

Send out the command for all generals to defend their cities and hold the enemies off! At the same time, recruit and buy horses within the cities and train new soldiers! When the time is ripe, we will counterattack and drive them out of our borders!

Yes, Your Majesty! But the food

The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom furrowed his brows, deeply troubled: You hold them off first, I will think of a solution!

Yes, Your Majesty!

The great war of the Mo Kingdom broke out once again!

However, this time it was not Mo Kingdom versus Xia Kingdom, but Mo Kingdom versus the three countries of Peng, Shang, and An.

None of these three countries were weaker than Xia Kingdom.

Initially, just fighting against Xia Kingdom had already resulted in heavy losses for Mo Kingdom, with their national power greatly diminished. Now, facing three countries none weaker than Xia Kingdom, hardly anyone was optimistic about their chances.

The three kingdoms are clearly seizing the opportunity to strike him when hes down. Mo Kingdom is really finished this time!

Indeed, with a 600,000-strong army, Mo Kingdom was completely powerless to resist at the height of their strength! Now with only 200,000 troops left, theyre like a tiger that has lost its teethwinning is even more unlikely!

Even if they manage to hold on, they will definitely suffer heavy troop losses and a significant reduction in national power!

What Im really curious about now is when Xia Kingdom will send its troops?

I guess itll be soon. After all, that foolish emperor is someone who cant sit still and loves to stir up trouble!
