Chapter 2273: Anger and Despair
Chapter 2273: Anger and Despair
No matter what Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor thought, those capable people were all people whom he couldn’t really control.
The only reason why they still listened to him was because they were loyal to Fan Yi Kingdom as a whole.
But towards him as a person?
Hehehe.
It’s impossible.
This was something that the Gao Family had set up for who knows how many years. Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor didn’t care towards it too much.
Before this, there were also many capable generals and even Great General who were loyal to him. They enjoyed much more than what those generals who stayed at the border all the time could hope to enjoy.
Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor tried to tempt them by favoring the other generals.
But those battle hardened generals at the north didn’t even budge.
They were as stable as ever, staying on the north.
Later on, Prime Minister Yang saw that the situation at the north was not very good and volunteered to step forward personally to deal with them. Fan Yi Kingdom let him be and then heard the news of victory from the north.
It seemed… pretty good?
In any case, as long as the kingdom was stable, Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor didn’t have to bother so much about various matters.
The problem didn’t stop there.
After Great General Ji’s death, the situation of Fan Yi Kingdom turned for the worst. Fei Yang Kingdom turned their attention towards Shi Long Kingdom, which gave them some room for breathing, but the north become even fiercer during this period of time.
They suffered from north and south, pinched by two sides.
It was a suffering.
Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor felt really tired with this, but there was nothing much that he could do but to follow through with it. He assigned these powerful generals, hoping they could win the battle.
But Winter last year was the worst.
The north suffered devastating blows and General Jin lost miserably, forcing him to retreat and abandon many cities. These cities and the people there suffered under the attack of the tribes people from the north.
Later on, Great General Wei gathered more people and attacked the south area more fiercely, pressing Fan Yi Kingdom again and again.
In order to retain the last bit of chance for victory, Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor moved the Capital City further to the northeast, staying away from the border. He hoped that the terrains and other generals could stop Fei Yang Kingdom’s advance.
And what he got?
Lose, lose, and lose again.
There were so many loses that Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor was going crazy.
Today, they received the smoke signal from the south area’s war. Just when they were hoping the smoke signal would be good… it was the worst possible news ever.
“Temporary General Wei, General Ning, and Strategist Song are all missing. Only General Huang remained on the south border….” The messenger who translated the smoke signal was trembling.
They have arranged various smoke signal so that they could know the specific situation on the battlefield. Even if it would not be so precise, but they had to know the gist of the battle. The result?
Prang!
Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor threw the porcelain on the table and wanted to throw even more tantrum right now. He felt that these people out there were truly cursing him.
“How come Fan Yi Kingdom fell to this point?” Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor finished throwing these things and then sat on his seat, muttering in a low voice. His gaze looked into the distant, feeling rather helpless and frustrated.
The powerful generals and commanders were eliminated one by one by Fei Yang Kingdom. Now, the situation was even worse as three important people were missing.
The other ministers could only lower their head.
They couldn’t answer Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor’s question. In fact, none of them could possibly answer his question.
They were all terrified.
They knew very well that the loss of Fan Yi Kingdom might also mean their end. Previously, they had rushed out from Fan Yi Kingdom’s previous Capital City in hope that they would be able to survive.
Now…
The hope was slim.
“What do you think we should do, Prime Minister Zhu?” Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor asked and looked at Prime Minister Zhu.
Prime Minister Zhu: “…” How should I know?
The main reason why Prime Minister Zhu was able to stay in this position was because of money. He had also flattered some people and made a good use of the people who sided with
him, allowing him to strengthen his position.
But now… this position seemed to be useless.
Because Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor threw the question to him and Prime Minister Zhu truly had
no answer.
Previously, he could throw it by asking someone to be promoted and become the leader in the war. This kind of practice was not that uncommon and Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor also felt that
it was quite good.
But now, the capable men has been sent out.
And even his son had died.
Thinking about General Zhu, Prime Minister Zhu’s face darkened slightly. He wanted to take revenge on Fei Yang Kingdom more than anyone else. But at the same time, he didn’t know
what he should do.
“We need to appoint more generals to lead the soldiers to fight against Fei Yang Kingdom?” Prime Minister Zhu asked slowly.
“Who do you want to recommend, Prime Minister Zhu?” Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor asked.
Prime Minister Zhu didn’t answer and looked at the other ministers in the court. Many of them came from noble families and their family members also become a general or commander on the battlefield.
Even if they were not capable enough, they should be able to block Fei Yang Kingdom for a
period of time.
It was just that these ministers quickly lowered their head when they saw Prime Minister Zhu
looking in their direction.
Uh, they didn’t want to be put on the limelight….
