Chapter 723
The south and the east were going well .
Su Dingguo held his ground against Zhan Qianshan in the east . As long as he didn’t do any stupid mistakes, the east would surely be fine .
General Lan was protecting the south . The fallen mountain was a natural shield, and Yang Wanli, the vice-commander leading the army for the Kingdom of Tian-Yu, had no way to deal with him . It was also safe in the south!
In other words, the Kingdom of Chen was free from dangers!
The next moment, as the king thought, it should now be the time sweep out the discord inside the kingdom…
Will I be hit? All officials asked the same question .
[Maybe we did a bit too much on this?]
They started to feel terrified .
"Zuo Wuji recommended Ye Xiao to the court . He should be rewarded…"
The king was so happy . He immediately promoted Zuo Wuji three steps . Surely, Zuo Wuji was grateful .
"Commander Ye, Ye Xiao stepped out to protect our kingdom and saved us from collapsing . He saved us and our people . He takes the great credit! I will confer title of…" The king announced, "… I will give him a great award when he returns…"
"One more thing . I want you to have a discussion about it . What should we do to the lands we took back . Any GOOD candidate to go for the errand? Prime Minister Zuo, what do you think?"
The king looked at Prime Minister Zuo first to ask his opinion .
Zuo Wuji had been promoted several steps, but he was still in a low position . Apparently, he was not qualified enough to go rule an area . However, the king let Prime Minister Zuo recommend somebody, so as to let Zuo Wuji play a role in it .
Prime Minister was experienced and wise . Of course, he knew he should ask for a bright future for his grandson .
This was a great chance to raise his own people under the king’s permission . What a fortune!
Prime Minister Zuo started to think carefully . The officials looked at Prime Minister Zuo and Zuo Wuji with jealousness .
[Little prick is going to soar in the sky…]
[What great luck!]
…
In the east .
Zhan Qianshan’s face turned dark when he got the report too . After a few seconds of silence, he slapped the report on the table and made a big sound . Then he sat back to the chair without saying anything after .
The generals gathered around to read the report and they were all shocked .
"Iron Peak, Wenren Jianyin suffers massive loss!"
The Kingdom of Lan-Feng had one and a half million people . Only less than three hundred thousand wounded soldiers survived .
Wenren Jianyin spat out blood and passed out . He hadn’t woken up even when the report was sent .
The Kingdom of Chen had claimed their lands back . Moreover, their army was aiming for Sky Nerve City!
In other words, the Kingdom of Chen was safe!
What happened next was the movements of Ye Nantian’s army . The Northern Army had divided into two groups . One marched towards the east, while the other to the west .
He sent people to support two sides at the same time!
The battles had been stable since the day the war started, yet both sides had support now . It was impossible that the Kingdom of Chen would lose!
The world had been settled!
Zhan Qianshan was lost in thoughts for a long time before he finally sighed in grief .
"It is done . Things had gone this far . Pass down my words . Retreat! Let’s return to our motherland!" Zhan Qianshan made a long sigh . "Such a great opportunity to defeat the Kingdom of Chen . We have missed it . Is it true that god blessed the Kingdom of Chen?
"We are never going to have another opportunity like this ever . Once the Kingdom of Chen is stable inside, they will expand their territory . That will be the day we start to moan…"
He sighed . "The world is going to be in the hands of the Kingdom of Chen . As long as I am there, we may still keep our kingdom under good protection, even if Ye Nantian comes to attack . But after I die, I am afraid…"
That night, they prepared for retreat .
Zhan Qianshan stood on the top of a mountain while staring at Su Dingguo’s camp . He stayed there the whole night .
The night was dark .
Nobody saw the tears on his face . Tears fell down with grief and helplessness…
