I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

Chapter 35



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

“Damn Lin Beifan, don’t 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.

“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 couldn’t 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 couldn’t 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? It’s truly unjust!”

Just then, a soldier hurriedly ran in.

“Report! Urgent news!”

The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom’s face changed: “What’s the matter that you’re 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!”

The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom’s complexion turned grim.

The Peng Kingdom was just a small kingdom to the south of the Mo Kingdom, not much stronger than the Xia Kingdom. Over the years, they had always been respectful towards him, like a tail-wagging, begging dog, never daring to show the slightest neglect.

Unexpectedly, they took advantage of the time when his nation was weak to send troops to attack.

However, this was not his greatest concern.

His greatest concern…

Just then, another soldier rushed in, panting.

“Report! Urgent news!”

The Emperor of Mo Kingdom felt his sense of foreboding intensify: “What is it? Speak quickly!”

“Your Majesty, the Shang Kingdom has mobilized an army of 200,000 and they are attacking from the west!”

The Emperor of Mo Kingdom’s expression turned even grimmer as the very thing he feared the most had still come to pass.

The Shang Kingdom is a small kingdom to the west of the Mo Kingdom, with a comprehensive national power comparable to that of the Mo Kingdom. The two sides often have frictions, and for them to attack at this time suggests they want to take advantage of the Mo Kingdom’s moment of weakness.

Just then, another soldier rushed in.

“Report! Urgent news!”

The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom stood up in fright and anxiously said, “Don’t tell me that another country has launched an attack on us?”

“Your Majesty is wise! The An Kingdom has led an army of 200,000 troops and is attacking us from the east!”

The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom turned pale with fear, his body trembling and on the verge of collapse.

Three countries have already launched their attacks, amassing a total military force of 600,000!

At the zenith of the Mo Kingdom, resisting the onslaught of three nations proved to be particularly challenging.

Now, with only 200,000 soldiers left, how can we fight?

“What about the Xia Kingdom? Has the Xia Kingdom sent troops?” the Emperor of the Mo Kingdom asked urgently.

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

“That’s 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 he’s 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, they’re like a tiger that has lost its teeth—winning 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 I’m really curious about now is when Xia Kingdom will send its troops?”

“I guess it’ll be soon. After all, that foolish emperor is someone who can’t sit still and loves to stir up trouble!”
