Chapter 215 The easily fooled Huangfu Sixuan confesses
"Then it's settled. Emperor Huangfu, please don't go back on your word!"
Ying Chen was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Huangfu Sixuan to be so easily fooled and to agree so readily.
The Great Qin Dynasty certainly didn't lack those resources. Not to mention the spirit stones rewarded by the system, the three top-grade spirit stone mines below Xianyang alone produced an astronomical amount every day.
He did this simply to extort some benefits from Huangfu Sixuan.
"By the way, is there anything I need to see you about?"
After agreeing on the matter of supporting the Qin Dynasty, Huangfu Sixuan asked a question.
Ying Chen, seated in the main seat, responded to Huangfu Sixuan's question, saying, "With the current strength of our two great dynasties, we could easily annihilate the Heavenly Fox Dynasty in one fell swoop. I see you wish to ask for your opinion: should we launch a direct attack now, or temporarily evade the conflict...?"
Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, Huangfu Sixuan fell into deep thought.
With the strength of their two great dynasties, they could indeed destroy the Heavenly Fox Dynasty.
However, if they were to make a move now, the Huangfu Dynasty would likely be the ones facing the majority of the Heavenly Fox Dynasty's strength.
After all, the Qin Dynasty had just been promoted to an imperial dynasty. Although it had some strength, its foundation was still insufficient.
Both the Huangfu Dynasty and the Tianhu Dynasty are old dynasties. If a full-scale war were to break out now, even if the Great Qin could restrain some of the Tianhu Dynasty's strength, the Huangfu Dynasty would not be facing the Tianhu Dynasty at its peak. Nevertheless, if the Huangfu Dynasty wanted to destroy the Tianhu Dynasty, it would certainly suffer heavy losses.
After all, an imperial dynasty is not so easy to destroy.
In the end, even if they manage to destroy the Heavenly Fox Dynasty, the strength of their Huangfu Dynasty will likely decline, possibly to less than half of its peak strength.
At that time, the alliance between the Great Qin and the Huangfu Dynasty will also disappear with the fall of the Tianhu Dynasty.
After all, their alliance was based on the premise that the Heavenly Fox Dynasty still existed.
The Huangfu Dynasty, whose strength was less than half of its peak, was very likely to be targeted by the Qin Dynasty.
By then, the Huangfu Dynasty, whose strength has been severely diminished, will definitely suffer a significant drop in prestige, while the Great Qin, which has been recuperating and rebuilding, will be militarily strong and well-equipped.
If the Qin Dynasty were to suddenly launch an attack, the Huangfu Dynasty might not be able to withstand it.
"I believe that now is not the best time to destroy Dian Wei of the Heavenly Fox Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty has not been developing for long enough. We should focus on defense for now!"
After careful consideration, Huangfu Sixuan finally spoke.
Upon hearing Huangfu Sixuan's words, Ying Chen revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
He then said, "Emperor Huangfu is right. Our Great Qin is currently in a period of rapid development, and it is indeed not suitable for large-scale wars, as that would lead to the stagnation of our Great Qin's development..."
"Then we will follow Emperor Huangfu's advice and remain on the defensive for the time being, avoiding a direct confrontation with the Heavenly Fox Dynasty."
Huangfu Sixuan nodded, then said apologetically, "Since that's the case, then I'll head back first. The Heavenly Fox Dynasty is coming on strong, and I need to go back to take charge. My Huangfu Dynasty will have to face the Heavenly Fox Dynasty, and afterwards, I'm afraid my Huangfu Dynasty won't be able to provide much help to Great Qin..."
"It's alright, three mere sects are nothing to our Great Qin..."
Ying Chen waved his hand dismissively and said.
"Then I shall take my leave..."
Huangfu Sixuan got up and walked outside.
Ying Chen watched Huangfu Sixuan's departing figure and revealed a faint smile.
In short, both of them had ulterior motives during this conversation, and neither of them fully trusted the other.
There's no need to elaborate on Ying Chen; his ultimate goal is to destroy the two great dynasties and unify the entire Xuanxing Domain.
Huangfu Sixuan was worried that if they started attacking the Tianhu Dynasty now, their Huangfu Dynasty would suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, they planned to wait until the Qin Dynasty's strength increased before destroying the Huangfu Emperor's dynasty.
With the help of the Great Qin, the Huangfu Dynasty wouldn't have to bear most of the pressure alone.
However, what he didn't know was that the Qin Dynasty's strength had now completely surpassed that of the Huangfu Dynasty.
Even at its peak, the Huangfu Dynasty was no match for the Qin Dynasty.
The reason why the Qin Dynasty has not yet taken action is because of the existence of the oath of Heaven.
Afterwards, Ying Chen summoned Yue Fei.
"Emperor!"
Yue Fei bowed to Ying Chen.
"Marshal Yue, get up!"
Ying Chen raised his right hand slightly and spoke slowly.
"Thank you, Emperor!"
Yue Fei thanked him and then stood up straight.
"Pengju, besides meeting with Emperor Huangfu, I have some other matters to discuss with you in Yaori City!"
Ying Chen looked at Yue Fei and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, please speak. Even if it means climbing mountains of knives or plunging into seas of fire, this humble general will never betray Your Majesty's trust!"
Yue Fei said with a serious expression.
He thought to himself, "The Emperor is finally going to assign me a task. Since coming to this world, besides training troops, I've been stationed in this Sun City."
Although Yaori City is also located on the border, the Great Qin and the Huangfu Dynasty are currently in a honeymoon period and will not take any major actions for the time being.
So, he's almost getting bored out of his mind here.
"As you know, the goal of my Great Qin is the stars and the sea, not this small territory of the Xuanxing Domain!"
"However, the first step for my Great Qin to reach the stars is to unify the Xuanxing Domain. Therefore, both the Tianhu Dynasty and the Huangfu Dynasty are stumbling blocks on the road to progress for my Great Qin!"
"Although my Great Qin Dynasty and the Huangfu Dynasty currently have an alliance to jointly deal with the Tianhu Dynasty, this alliance will automatically dissolve once the Tianhu Dynasty is destroyed..."
Ying Chen looked at Yue Fei with a serious expression and spoke slowly.
Yue Fei listened attentively to Ying Chen's narration.
"So, what does Your Majesty mean?"
Yue Fei looked at Ying Chen, anticipating his next words.
"The matter I want to instruct you is that you must be prepared for war at all times in Yaori City, awaiting my orders. As soon as my orders are given, you must immediately lead the army into the territory of the Huangfu Dynasty!"
"To build a bridgehead for our Great Qin!"
Ying Chen spoke in a serious tone, his eyes flashing with cold light.
Yue Fei's expression hardened, and he solemnly replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, since arriving in Yaori City, I have never relaxed the training of the army. All the troops in Yaori City are always on standby!"
