Chapter 328: Chapter 232 It’s Time to Incorporate the North Land into the North Country_2

Lu Chen said, “Alright.”

Then, Lu Chen, with his arm around Wang Qingci’s willow waist, brought her to Wang Qingci’s bedroom. As soon as they entered the room, he placed her on the bed and then lay on top of her.

Wang Qingci was momentarily stunned, thinking that Lu Chen might take advantage of her, but she soon realized she had been overthinking it. After Lu Chen lay down on the bed, he turned to lie on his side, holding Wang Qingci’s waist, as if she were a pillow.

At that moment, Lu Chen buried his head in her embrace and took a deep breath of her scent before speaking, “Tell me, what’s been happening with the major dynasties recently? Just give me a direct report; later, you can leave the paper reports on my study’s desk. I didn’t sleep last night, let me doze off a bit.”

Returning to her senses, Wang Qingci thought to herself, how could Lu Chen be thinking of such things at this time? Lu Chen had been busy all night long in his study, and even as a Grandmaster, he needed rest.

Afterward, allowing Lu Chen to hold her tender body, she began, “The students from Universal Academy originally wanted to pass through the Great Xia Dynasty on their way to North Country but were driven to Great Wu Dynasty by Great Xia’s troops. Great Xia’s army claimed they were afraid the students would spread plague, so those students will need some time before they can reach North Country.”

Had they come directly through other regions of the Great Xia Dynasty, it would take at most three months for Universal Academy’s students to arrive in North Country. But now, detouring through Great Wu Dynasty and then crossing the Da Yue Dynasty, would likely take four or five months.

Holding Wang Qingci close in his embrace, her soft and tender body emitting a Gentle Jade Fragrance, Lu Chen said indifferently, “I see. Any other intelligence?”

Wang Qingci continued, “The Princess Junwan of Great Wu Dynasty is said to have gone to the Southwest Region to negotiate with the rebel leaders, intending to assimilate the rebels.”

“Hmm?”

Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately lifted his head from her Gentle Jade Fragrance and turned to look at Wang Qingci. “It shouldn’t be her conducting the negotiations, right? A princess going to negotiate with rebel leaders?”

Wang Qingci explained, “Initially, it wasn’t her who went. Initially, the Martial Emperor wanted to suppress the rebellion with military force and accumulate some merit for his two sons. So, he sent them to lead the troops to annihilate the rebels. However, both of his sons were defeated, resulting in heavy losses.”

“Persuaded by the Prime Minister, Chai Jiliang, the Martial Emperor once again agreed to the negotiations. Princess Junwan has always had a good reputation among the common people, so she was chosen to negotiate with the rebel leaders.”

Lu Chen smiled at Wang Qingci’s words, “That’s quite interesting. It looks like in a few decades, the world will see another Empress. But then again, there has never been a half-done rebellion in history. Those rebel leaders probably won’t agree to surrender to Great Wu’s royal court, will they?”

Hearing Lu Chen’s remark, Wang Qingci spoke with a smile, “Prince, you are mistaken this time. I have heard that some rebel leaders in the Southwest Region of Great Wu are already planning to surrender and are choosing to side with the Princess Junwan.”

This…

Lu Chen was once again taken aback.

Rebelling halfway, weren’t those guys afraid of being severely dealt with later?

Lu Chen asked, “Is this information accurate?”

Wang Qingci replied, “It’s accurate, some rebels are indeed planning to surrender to the Great Wu court. However, there is also a part that refuses to give in – mainly from the aristocratic families in the Southwest Region.”

Lu Chen chuckled. Those Aristocratic Families truly had no way out. If they were ordinary people who had rebelled, the ruler might choose to pardon them due to their large numbers in the end. But the Aristocratic Families were different; their rebellion was clearly aimed at overthrowing the Great Martial Royal Family’s rule. Even if they surrendered, they would definitely be held accountable, so the war in Great Wu would continue for a while.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen was reassured. The current situation in Great Xia was quite chaotic too, and if Great Wu recovered now, there was a good chance that the Martial Emperor, given his personality, would immediately send troops to attack Great Xia.

Even though Lu Chen wasn’t the Great Xia Emperor yet, in his eyes, the whole Great Xia Dynasty would eventually be his, and he didn’t want to see Great Xia taken over by Great Wu.

At this point, Wang Qingci went on, “Additionally, there is some intelligence about the Da Yue Dynasty.”

Curious, Lu Chen said, “Da Yue’s intelligence? Has anything happened there recently?”

Compared to other dynasties, Da Yue had always been relatively peaceful, aside from stationing 200,000 troops at the border with North Country, there hadn’t been any movement.

Wang Qingci stated, “The Barbarian Tribe is moving southward, and the 200,000 troops Da Yue had stationed at the border are gradually being transferred to the northwest area to confront the Barbarian Tribe.”

Hearing that, Lu Chen fell into deep thought.

Although the main tribes of the Barbarians in the North Land had already been destroyed, in truth, there were many Barbarians to the north, divided into several large tribes, each with its own king.

These tribes had been united, but following the death of one of their Great Commanders, they declared themselves kings. Among them, the Sky Wolf King and North Fre King tribes moved to the North Land, and the others stayed in the northwest area.

Like Great Xia, Da Yue was subjected to annual invasions from the Barbarian Tribes, and the number of tribes in the northwest area far exceeded those in North Land, so the southern incursion by the Barbarian Tribes of the northwest could put significant pressure on Da Yue.
