Chapter 216.2
Right, theres another important matter to discuss with you!
What is it?
Yaoyao said with a serious expression, After this natural disaster, the national power of various countries has severely declined, the people are struggling to survive, and domestic conflicts are numerous! Our Demon Sect has monitored that there is already a certain level of chaos within these countries, and the friction between nations has intensified. Im afraid that before long, the world will be in great turmoil! So, you Great Xia must be careful!
This is quite normal!
Lin Beifan said calmly, The general trend of the world is that long periods of division will be followed by unification and long periods of unification will be followed by division. This is the inevitability of social development, and the natural disaster is just a catalyst!
After the disaster, there will inevitably be a major reshuffling of the world order, where big fish eat little fish, and little fish eat shrimp. The strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak! For us Great Xia, this is both a crisis and an opportunity!
Do you need our Demon Sects assistance?
Yaoyao looked down and said, The Great Luo Dynasty next to you has always been coveting the fertile lands of your Great Xia! They have the support of the Taoist Sect behind them, and their strength is not to be underestimated!
Lin Beifan scoffed with disdain, Let them try! Even with the support of the Taoist Sect, they are not omnipotent. Over the past year, they have suffered from so many natural disasters. Their national power has severely declined, and they still dare to fight us? Its simply overestimating themselves and underestimating us!
Yaoyao covered her mouth while laughing gleefully, Thats true! That Great Luo must have hit a streak of bad luck, having encountered so many disasters since the summer began, and they havent recovered yet! That woman must be furious. How did she end up with a useless emperor? Haha
Lin Beifan also laughed, Indeed, a hopeless case!
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together to conjure a tornado and tossed it onto the territory of Great Luo to see if they would submit.
Great Luo Emperor: ( )
After the laughter, Yaoyao said, Aside from Great Luo, be careful of other countries playing dirty tricks! This ice disaster has left only your Great Xia flourishing unscathed, which has annoyed many rulers! Once they have the chance, they will definitely make a move!
Dont worry, Im not a pushover!
Lin Beifan said with great confidence, As long as they dare to come and dare to reach out, I will definitely show them why the flowers are so red! Ill let them know what cruelty really means!
After discussing these matters, Yaoyao picked up a few fresh apples and tossed them aside.
Meanwhile, Great Xia remained peaceful and prosperous, while other countries were still immersed in great sorrow, yet to recover from the ice disaster.
If they were to recuperate and develop normally, it would take at least three to four years for a quick recovery or seven to eight years for a slower one.
But obviously, not many emperors have such patience.
Because, in fact, theres a better way, which is war.
By resorting to military force, not only can domestic conflicts be resolved, but also, through the expansion of territory and plundering of resources, losses can be compensated.
Many emperors like to do this.
Thus, wars broke out in many places.
Starting with the small kingdoms, which were weak in national power and scarce in resources.
Then came the great kingdoms, attacking each other or plundering the small kingdoms.
Only dynasties and empires with strong power remained still, waiting for the right opportunity.
Lin Beifan also remained still.
With its vast territory and abundant resources, as long as Great Xia could develop these assets, it could contend for the title of empire.
The longer the delay, the stronger its national power would become and the more powerful the country.
So, he was in no hurry.
There was plenty of time to wait slowly, as opportunities always favored those who were prepared.
Look, here comes the opportunity!
Lin Beifan looked at the battle report before him and burst into laughter: The Great Yan Kingdom is in chaos, besieged on all sides. What a godsend opportunity!
The Great Yan Kingdom is a great kingdom located in the Hengduan Mountain Range.
Among the great kingdoms, it is considered a powerful one.
However, since Lin Beifan had raided them three times, their national strength had severely declined.
After experiencing a recent ice disaster, their national power had declined once again, now barely reaching half of its peak.
As the saying goes, one should pick the soft persimmons to squeeze, and the neighboring three countries have sent out their troops, hoping to swallow Great Yan.
It is said that the Great Yan Emperor is at his wits end, desperately drafting soldiers and amassing an army of two million, causing public outcry and widespread uprisings among the people.
With such frequent chaos, the fall of Great Yan is not far off.
At this moment, Yuan Tiangang stepped forward and respectfully said to Lin Beifan: Your humble servant pays respect to Your Majesty, long live the Emperor! May I know why Your Majesty has summoned me?
Indeed, there is an important matter!
Lin Beifan handed a document to Yuan Tiangang while smiling: Take a look. Our neighbors across the Hengduan Mountain Range are having a hard time. What do you think, do we have an opportunity?
After reviewing the document, Yuan Tiangang pondered for a moment: Does Your Majesty wish to annex Great Yan?
Lin Beifan shook his head: No! I will eventually take Great Yan, but the time is not right. What I want now are the Innate masters of the Great Yan Kingdom. Do you think we have a chance to take them?
The Great Xia Dynasty lacked nothing except high-end combat power, such as Innates and Grandmasters.
However, such masters cannot be had just by wishing for them.
Talent is rare, so Lin Beifan wanted to seize the opportunity and decided to act immediately.
He wanted those innate to defect to Great Xia and serve him.
Your Majesty, please wait! Yuan Tiangang picked up a few copper coins, tossed them lightly, and then caught them.
Looking at the patterns on the coins, he said with great joy: Congratulations, Your Majesty, this matter is very likely to succeed! Please entrust this task to your humble servant. I am confident that I can persuade five or six people to serve Your Majesty!
Lin Beifan clapped his hands and laughed: Good! Ill entrust this task to you! Additionally, I will send the Heng Ha Generals and the Heavens Flaw and Earths Defect to protect you on your journey!
Thank you, Your Majesty! Yuan Tiangang took his leave.
After summoning the Heng Ha Generals and the Heavens Flaw and Earths Defect, they crossed the Hengduan Mountain Range and stealthily made their way to Great Yan.
