Chapter 2240: Time Skip (5)
It was not like Feng Qian Shao disliked his two sons. But he felt that it would be very troublesome if Feng Ao Qian ended up being like either one of his first two children.
As Spring comes, the war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom was far from over. During the last winter, the north tribes at the north was also pressing Fan Yi Kingdom, forcing them to abandon a few cities in order to survive in this war.
Fan Yi Kingdom was slowly being cornered.
But they were still stubborn and not giving up.
In fact, no one would give up so easily unless they saw no chances of victory or surviving.
While Fei Yang Kingdom was preparing for the war, the last kingdom who was standing as the bystander was watching the commotion.
As for their stance?
<Qi Xi Kingdom’s Imperial Palace>
“Your Majesty, this is a great chance for our Qi Xi Kingdom to step forward and take advantage of this situation!”
“Our Qi Xi Kingdom might be small, but we’re mighty and powerful!”
“Your Majesty, please recreate the history from three decades ago!”
The ministers were all agitated. Watching as Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom fought each other bitterly like that, they felt that this was simply the Heaven sent message to them.
That they should use this chance to make a move.
Perhaps, they would be able to recreate their glory from many decades ago?
Back then, Qi Xi Kingdom was also the most powerful kingdom among the other six. Neither of the other kingdoms could surpass them and the ambitious emperor launched war against the other kingdoms, plundering their territories and doing massive expansion.
It was simply the time for Qi Xi’s glory!
The time where everyone felt extremely proud for being part of Qi Xi Kingdom!
Unfortunately, such time didn’t last because the joint war against Qi Xi Kingdom started and shattered their dreams. The large territory was pushed back again and again until they were cornered so much.
In the end, it was the death of two emperors that finally stopped the advancing armies.
Qi Xi Kingdom become the kingdom with the smallest territory among the six kingdoms and could barely survive the war.
For them to stabilize and still maintained the status of the six kingdoms were not easy.
Emperor Qi Kan Tian had to work so hard for years before the situation was relatively stable. Even then, there were still many problems and he had to work even harder with these memorials each day.
The joint war against Fei Yang Kingdom several years ago was the only big wars Qi Xi Kingdom actively participated in within the past decade.
This was mostly Qi Xi Kingdom couldn’t truly spare too much soldiers to go forward and fought against other kingdoms. Their resources were limited and only at the border were there some conflicts.
As Fei Yang Kingdom maintained their dominance, Fan Yi Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom both actively attacked Fei Yang Kingdom to prevent Fei Yang Kingdom from eyeing them.
But Qi Xi Kingdom remained stable.
They didn’t dare to step forward and provoke Fei Yang Kingdom. Instead, they remained firm in their place and acted as nothing more than a bystander.
Now…
These ministers felt that this would be the best chance.
Looking at their aged faces, Qi Kan Tian knew very well that they were all from the era of his father and grandfather. They had already seen the glorious days of Qi Xi Kingdom and longed for that day to arrive once again.
The younger ministers were all silent and only watched these ministers made trouble. The younger ministers understood Qi Kan Tian more and knew that if they wanted to fight against Fei Yang Kingdom… their soldiers were not enough.
So what if Fei Yang Kingdom was fighting against Fan Yi Kingdom?
Couldn’t they see that the military power of Qi Xi Kingdom that they used to be proud of was nothing compared to Fei Yang Kingdom?
Not mentioning the fact that their soldiers were far lesser in number compared to Fei Yang Kingdom, their skills were not as good as Fei Yang Kingdom either. Fei Yang Kingdom’s generals were very active on the frontline, fighting countless battles and kept on moving forward.
On the other hand, their generals were mostly guarding the border and the battles they had recently was only some small skirmish.
Can it be compared?
The chance of winning was low.
So these ministers didn’t speak at all.
“The situation is not suitable for Qi Xi Kingdom to interfere,” Qi Kan Tian said calmly. He knew that these ministers all longed for the glory of Qi Xi Kingdom like how it used to be in
the past.
But…
He couldn’t grant their wishes.
The current Qi Xi Kingdom might seem strong, but Qi Kan Tian knew that the war had long caused many problems with Qi Xi Kingdom. Before Fei Yang Kingdom’s move, they already have some many battles with Wei Da Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom due to the territory
dispute.
Now, there was no point in mentioning these anymore.
“But Your Majesty, how can we not fight?” The ministers wanted to persuade Qi Kan Tian
once more.
“I know, but how many people have to die should we fail?” Qi Kan Tian asked, his voice somewhat hoarse.
How could he not be willing to have Qi Xi Kingdom full of glory once more?
When he was young, he was proud to be part of Qi Xi Kingdom and also had heard many good
things about the kingdom.
But that was the past.
The current Qi Xi Kingdom was no longer the same as how they used to be in the past.
These ministers were still trapped in the past, but Qi Kan Tian could see clearly that they
couldn’t go back to that time.
They could only move forward.
Even if moving forward, their situation could not turn any better.
