Time passed quietly.
Season changed, the temperature grew colder in winter and grew warmer again when spring arrived. The war was partially stagnated as the few parties were all in deadlock and couldn't gain advantage.
At the same time, the atmosphere was tense everywhere.
Fei Yang Kingdom go on a war with Fan Yi Kingdom led by General Xing, Long Qian Xing. The war continued for several months before Fan Yi Kingdom's Emperor presented the crown prince's head to ease Fei Yang Kingdom's wrath.
With many of their cities were falling to Long Qian Xing's hand, the war hadn't been in their favor. It seemed that they had greatly underestimated this newly promoted general who had only started to make his name as a general.
They had inevitably become the stepping stone.
The people in Fan Yi Kingdom were angry, but there was nothing they could do but to swallow their anger.
They were not as good as the other party, so what could they say?
However, the situation was supposed to be a stalemate if not for the barbarians attacking their northern border. It exhausted their manpower and Fan Yi Kingdom was forced to compromise. The Crown Prince Ping was executed on the basis of not doing his work well and his head was sent to General Xing.
In this regards, Fan Yi Kingdom's Emperor was very decisive.
They pacified Fei Yang Kingdom and Long Qian Xing also accepted the arrangement and then focused his attention back to Fei Yang Kingdom's new territory. In any case, hasty expansion would only make the foundation unstable.
It would be better for him to return and stabilize Fei Yang Kingdom's position.
When it was time in the future, they would be able to deal more with Fan Yi Kingdom. Besides, during the last few battles before the barbarians came, Long Qian Xing had already felt the pressure.
It'll not be easy to deal with Fan Yi Kingdom.
They could only start to prepare bit by bit.
At this time, Fan Yi Kingdom's Capital City was in a gloomy mood. After Crown Prince Ping was executed in order to pacify Fei Yang Kingdom, many officials were not in a good mood. The Emperor was among them.
He didn't really care that much about his son. After all, when an Emperor looked at his son, he would be reminded by how much this son of his wanted the throne in his hand and worked with the officials to take it over.
That was why the princes were all being careful not to interact too much with the officials.
If they showed the stance that they wanted to take the throne and threatened the Emperor's position, they might be in a big trouble.
Fan Yi Kingdom's Emperor was an ambitious person.
He would not let anyone took the throne from him easily.
Even though he had set the Crown Prince, the person he set was simply the person whom he pushed up to be the living target of other princes. That way, they could focus their attention on him and allowed him to be somewhat relaxed on the back.
"Your Majesty, we have managed to push the barbarians back." One of the ministers cupped his fist as he gave his report.
Fan Yi Kingdom's Emperor waved his hand. "Tell me how much we lost this year."
It's almost New Year, which was a good news that they managed to win. But knowing that the situation was always so dire, Fan Yi Kingdom's Emperor didn't believe that they would be able to win without paying high price.
Prime Minister of the Right hesitated for a moment before replying. "Your Majesty, we have lost three cities and the food there."I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
Fan Yi Kingdom's Emperor was silent.
The reason why the barbarians came during winter was simply because of these supplies. The northern area above them was simply too cold, making it impossible for them to farm. What they could do was to live with horse and moved from one place to another.
But when it was winter, where could they find food?
The answer was simply by raiding the areas below and it was precisely their territory that was targeted.
"Deal with it." Fan Yi Kingdom's Emperor sighed. "And build more walls to face them. I don't believe those damn barbarians will be able to hold on for a long time!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Also, call Great General Ji. I want to ask him why he failed to deal with that damn brat!"
The loss in Fan Yi Kingdom was so great that the frontline was actually pushed back to their side. Several cities were lost during the past half a year, half to Fei Yang Kingdom and half to the barbarians.
The one leading the war has always been Great General Ji.
He was famous for his igneous strategy, but facing these new blood, he seemed to have started to be failing. Fan Yi Kingdom's Emperor began to think that this general was simply too old to be able to handle the position as a great general.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the official shivered.
No matter what, the ending of Great General Ji after failing so much wouldn't be good. The famous strategist from Fan Yi Kingdom would be having his biggest career crisis.
But at this time, they suddenly feel the ground shook slightly.
Everyone was astonished.
"Earthquake?"
"There's an earthquake right before New Year?"
"What?"
pandasnovel.com Fan Yi Kingdom was located at the north and it was very cold to the point no one wanted to get out of their house. But it was precisely during their meeting that they actually encountered an earthquake?
Was the Heaven angry at them?
…
<Frontline, Nan Hua's position>
Nan Hua stood emotionlessly while the others were yelling and scrambling. They were feeling the earthquake more than those people at Fan Yi Kingdom who only felt it slightly.
'So, the big earthquake had started.'
"Hua'er, what are you doing staying there? There's an earthquake! Find a cover!" Yu Jin yelled angrily.
