I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory-Chapter 7

Lin Beifan was taken aback; this name seemed a bit ominous! (TLN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Lushan (A General who rebel))

Looking again at the other persons stature, it matched the name perfectly, and Lin Beifan felt an even greater sense of foreboding!

Could it really be that historical figure?

Is your name really An Lushan? Lin Beifan asked.

The man bowed his head, clasped his hands in salute, and said, How dare I deceive Your Majesty, this humble servant is indeed called An Lushan! This name was given by my parents. May I ask Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with it?

An Lushan felt uneasy, always sensing that the Emperors gaze upon him was somewhat different, eerily unsettling.

Lin Beifan shook his head: Theres nothing wrong with it. I just like this name!

Lin Beifan returned to his imperial seat, looking with great interest at the man before him who closely resembled someone from his memory, and smiled, Among all the civil and military officials, I very much appreciate those who dare to recommend themselves, just like you! However, do you have any military achievements or capabilities? Speak freely! Otherwise, I cannot entrust my troops to you.

An Lushan spoke loudly: Your Majesty, this humble servant has practiced martial arts since childhood and currently possesses the strength of a first-rate peak expert, only half a step away from the Innate level! Do not be fooled by this humble servants robust physique; it is all due to training and does not hinder leading troops in battle! Ordinary blades cannot harm me in the slightest!

Furthermore, this humble servant has studied military strategies since childhood, has been in the military for eight years, and currently holds the rank of a Martial Virtue General, commanding 5,000 troops and guarding the northwest of the Capital City! I have always been eager to achieve great deeds, and I ask Your Majesty to give this humble servant this opportunity!

At this moment, Grand General Chai Yulang spoke up: Your Majesty, this man is well-versed in military strategies, brave and good at fighting, and is an enemy of ten thousand men. He is indeed a rare military talent worthy of significant responsibility!

At this point, it was impossible to prevent Lin Beifan from deploying his troops, so the only option was to introduce him to a capable general to minimize casualties and losses. fr(e)enovelkiss

Lin Beifan clapped his hands in approval and exclaimed, Excellent! Even Uncle Chai highly recommends you; it seems you truly are a talent! Very well, I shall temporarily bestow upon you the title of General of the Northern Defense, a third-rank official, and grant you command of 200,000 soldiers. Set out immediately to conquer the Mo Kingdom and seize a vast territory! Upon your triumphant return, I shall reward you according to your merits!

An Lushan was overjoyed and said, Thank you for your great grace, Your Majesty. This humble servant will certainly not disappoint your expectations!

An Lushan took the military token, promptly mustered his troops, and set off for the Mo Kingdom in a grand and imposing manner.

.

Meanwhile, the news that Lin Beifan was sending troops to attack the Mo Kingdom spread rapidly throughout the land.

Everyone was stunned.

Are they out of their minds to lead troops to attack the Mo Kingdom at this time?

Its clear that they couldnt resist attacking because they saw the Mo Kingdoms forces weakened and its defenses vulnerable after suffering heavy losses!

But is the Mo Kingdom that easy to conquer? Even if theyve lost 200,000 soldiers, they still have 400,000 left, which is more than the total forces of our Xia Kingdom! They are in a state of national mourning, deeply grieved. Provoking them now, isnt that just asking for death?

Even I, a commoner who knows nothing about military strategy, can tell that the Mo Kingdom is not easy to defeat. Attacking them will surely lead to heavy losses! What kind of fool would make such a decision?

I heard that in order to send out troops, they even dismissed the pillar of the nation, Grand General Chai Yulang!

My god! Just a few days after ascending to the throne, hes already dismissed both pillars of the state; its complete chaos! A foolish ruler indeed, a great foolish ruler!

With such a foolish ruler, there is no hope for the Xia Kingdom!

Everyone shook their heads and sighed.

In front of the Grand Generals residence, the elderly Prime Minister Xiao Guoliang approached the Grand General and said anxiously, His Majesty has sent troops to attack the Mo Kingdom, which is clearly like throwing eggs against rocks. Why didnt you advise him against it?

The Grand General spread his hands, his face a bitter smile, I have already advised him, and thats why Ive been dismissed from my post, and even my military token has been taken back! What can I do? Im also in despair!

What? Youve been dismissed too? The old Prime Minister was stunned.

The Grand General nodded and sighed.

Now, what should we do? The chances of winning this war are slim. If we win, all is well, but if we lose, it will be an irretrievable disaster!

The old Prime Minister was extremely anxious, How about we go to the palace together and try to persuade His Majesty?

Dont bother, he wont listen to anything right now!

The old general waved his hand weakly. Lets not think too much at the moment. All I want now is to get drunk. Come, keep this old man company in his drink!

..

The news about the upcoming battle also quickly reached the Mo Kingdom.

Within the imperial palace, the Mo Kingdom Emperor was both shocked and enraged, slamming his hand on the table as he stood up: How dare he? How can a small kingdom dare to send troops to attack our nation at this time? Do they really think that Mo Kingdom is undefended and easy to bully?

The ministers could only offer a wry smile: Your Majesty, your humble servant is also at a loss. Why would they dare to send out troops at such a critical moment? No sane person would do such a thing! But indeed, they have already dispatched their forces and are approaching the border. The situation is extremely urgent!

Without hesitation, the Mo Kingdom Emperor commanded: Immediately mobilize the troops and dispatch the generals. Assemble 200,000 soldiers for me no, 300,000 soldiers, to deliver a crushing blow! I want to capture all of his 200,000 soldiers!

Yes, Your Majesty! the officials responded in unison.

Just then, an urgent report came from outside.

Report! Urgent news! The Xia Kingdoms army of 200,000 has already launched their attack, and two cities have fallen!

The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom and his ministers were shocked and dismayed: So quick?
