Chapter 2274: Anger and Despair (2)
These ministers were not stupid.
They knew very well that whoever was pushed to the forefront had to bear the pressure and burden of the entire Fan Yi Kingdom’s fate. Right now, the powerful generals have already failed and died under Fei Yang Kingdom.
Were there any generals more capable than them?
Even if there was any, it was not from their families!
Many of them were well aware that the only reason why their family members were able to become a commander was because of their backing. Their own talents were not very good but with the family’s support, it was not impossible.
The problem is…
These kind of commanders definitely couldn’t be promoted to become a general and then led the entire soldiers of Fan Yi Kingdom to fight against Fei Yang Kingdom. They would definitely lose miserably.
Prime Minister Zhu’s lips twitched when he saw this.
He wanted to beat up these ministers and let them appoint someone, but they didn’t dare to speak at all.
And the only real capable general in Fan Yi Kingdom was…
The three generals at the north.
But…
Prime Minister Zhu could never appoint them. Those three never listened to the Emperor, even more so to him. Their relationship was also like water and fire, could never get along with each other in the slightest bit.
And what if General Yang succeeded?
Then the glory would have nothing to do with Prime Minister Yang and Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor would instead look favorably upon General Yang.
So Prime Minister Zhu could only stay silent.
“Heh.” Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor snorted when he saw Prime Minister Zhu staying silent. He thought about his children, who were also not very capable themselves. The best and the most ambitious of them all was the crown prince.
But the same crown prince had died many years ago because he tried to assassinate Fei Yang Kingdom’s Emperor and Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor had to kill him.
It was miserable.
Now, Fan Yi Kingdom was also pushed to the dead end once again and there was not much that Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor could do.
“Prepare a letter to Prime Minister Yang,” Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor said slowly. “Tell him to abandon the north border and return along with the other generals.”
Abandon the north border?
The minsters were shocked when they heard Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor’s words.
Every single one of them knew very well that this was an impossible preposition. When Fan Yi Kingdom was first formed in the past, it was also because of this north border’s problem. The attack from the tribes at the north caused devastating damages and many people were forced to take a step back.
And it was the emperor at that time who sent people to take care of these tribes and protected the border.
They could never allow these tribes to set their foot any further to the south!
It was with this conviction that they protected the north border so well all these years. They were trying their best to protect the land and so far, they were doing well.
The other kingdoms also understood Fan Yi Kingdom’s position.
So it could be said that even if there were some skirmish, neither of the three kingdoms that directly border Fan Yi Kingdom dared to conquer Fan Yi Kingdom on their own.
Because they knew that if they were to take down Fan Yi Kingdom, Fan Yi Kingdom’s problem would be their problem.
They had to fight those north tribes.
None of them wanted it.
they followed through the original intention and let Fan Yi Kingdoms stand tall there. There might be some conflicts of interest but it would never reach the point where Fan Yi Kingdom fell.
Now, Fei Yang Kingdom was determined to conquer Fan Yi Kingdom.
So Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor could only give this order to Prime Minister Yang and try to let this prime minister return.
“Your Majesty, you can’t abandon the north!”
“Your Majesty, please think it over…”
“Then tell me who can step forward to fight against Fei Yang Kingdom?” Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor asked, his tone was harsh. He was very tired and these ministers were not helping in the slightest bit.
Upon hearing this question, these ministers fell into silence once again.
They knew that it would not be a good idea to ask Prime Minister Yang and the other generals
to return.
Because this meant that the north border would be open for attack.
But…
What else can they do?
Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor snorted and waved his hand. “Come here and write the letter. I want Prime Minister Yang to return at the shortest time possible. The three generals, at least two have to come back!”
The ministers looked at each other and then replied, “Yes!”
There was nothing else that they could do but to listen to Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor’s order.
“Also, send commanders from various families to support the battlefield. I hope you can arrange it, Prime Minister Zhu.”
The commanders from various families?
Prime Minister Zhu trembled and looked at the ministers behind him. They all understood
from his gaze that those who stood opposite of him would be the unluckiest one.
If they wanted to survive, they could only bribe this annoying prime minister.
Slowly but surely, they started to move.
Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor watched coldly and closed his eyes. He hoped that there would be a good news for him soon.

<North border of Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom, Nan Hua’s side>
After separating from Traveling Doctor Liu, Nan Hua followed Long Qian Xing who did the
cleaning and caught the soldiers from Fan Yi Kingdom.
He didn’t really treat them badly and just let them stay in one place for some time.
In any case, they couldn’t possibly kill everyone.
After it was all done, Long Qian Xing went to find Great General Wei, who was talking with
Wei Mo Bai.
