"You fatuous ruler, don't be so smug!"
The Mo Kingdom's Emperor retorted sarcastically," The reason why I was defeated is because of my bad luck. I lost to the heavens, not you! If you give me another chance, I will definitely lead the army south, flatten Xia Country, and take your head!”
Even if he was defeated, his momentum could not be weak!
Lin Beifan sneered." Run, run, Dragon! Stop talking nonsense!" Now that you lack troops and horses and have lost all your territory, it's a problem whether you can protect the Desert Kingdom!”
The Desert Emperor's heart sank.
Lin Beifan was right. Now that he had lost 600,000 soldiers, there were only 200,000 soldiers left in the country. They were trapped in the capital and were even worse than Lin Beifan.
This was a huge piece of fat meat. Even if China did not attack, the neighboring countries would still covet it.
It was too difficult to defend a country with 200,000 soldiers!
He couldn't understand how the originally good situation had turned out like this.
I didn't do anything that would infuriate both men and gods!
Ever since he ascended the throne, in order to protect the foundation of his ancestors, he had always been diligent and did not dare to slack off. Although he could not be called a wise ruler, he was definitely not a mediocre ruler. He was much better than that fatuous ruler!
However, why did the heavens bless that fatuous ruler and not him?
The Desert Kingdom's Emperor said stubbornly," Our Desert Kingdom has a strong army. We can definitely hold it. There's no need for you to worry!" If you don't believe me, just call me and see if I can defend it.”
Lin Beifan snorted.”
He waved his hand and shouted,"Let's withdraw our troops and return to the court!"”
Everyone was stunned." Your Majesty, we're going back now. We're not going to fight anymore?"”
Lin Beifan nodded and smiled. Although the Mo Kingdom was defeated, they are still defending the capital. Their military strength is comparable to ours, and they have the advantage of defending the city. It will be too difficult to defeat them! If we continue fighting, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. This is what I don't want to see!”
The generals nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty is right. What about the territory we fought? An Lushan asked.
Lin Beifan waved his hand and said,"I don't want any of them!"”
The generals were dumbfounded. Why not?"
This was the territory they had painstakingly fought for. How could they not want it?
Lin Beifan smiled." Because we only have 200,000 soldiers. How can we defend such a huge territory?" The Desert Kingdom would definitely not let this go, and the surrounding countries would not stand by and watch!”
"If we take this territory, we will face enemies from all directions. The pressure will be too great, and we will bury the seeds of national subjugation! Our country is weak. It's not the time to make enemies on all sides! Therefore, it was better to not have this piece of land!”
Everyone nodded again, agreeing with Lin Beifan's words.
He was very surprised that this fatuous ruler could actually see so far. Suddenly, he could not see the Emperor in front of him clearly!
Sometimes, he was especially muddle-headed, and sometimes, he was especially wise…
It was really an extremely complicated contradiction!
"But Your Majesty, it wasn't easy for the soldiers to conquer this territory. We can't just give it up!”someone advised.
Lin Beifan smiled to himself. He had already taken away the biggest benefit. This piece of land was only an empty shell. What was the use of taking it down?
It would easily attract the covetous eyes of various factions, so it was better not to!
"Alright, dear ministers, let's go back and take all the good things along the way! In addition, I promise that when I return, I will definitely reward everyone according to their merits!”
In the end, under Lin Beifan's lead, everyone returned to court.
The final result of this battle was also spread throughout the world.
The Mo Kingdom's Emperor was defeated by Lin Beifan's army and fled back to the capital in a sorry state.
Due to the loss of soldiers and generals, they were unable to resist, so the entire territory of the Mo Country fell, leaving only the capital of the Mo Country.
However, the Xia Country's army returned after reaching the capital of the Mo Country.
He didn't want the territory that he had conquered. He wanted to return it all.
In this battle, the one who benefited the most was naturally the fatuous ruler, Lin Beifan. Not only did he defend his territory, but he also invaded the Mo Country's territory for the second time. Not only did he gain a huge reputation, but he also obtained a lot of good things.
The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom suffered a great loss. In less than a month, he had lost 600,000 soldiers. The country's strength had suffered a great loss!
Moreover, he had lost his territory twice in a row and was even chased all the way to the capital. Other than the capital, all the other places had fallen, and he had lost all his face.
The name Running Dragon spread like wildfire and became the laughing stock of the world.
On the way back, Lin Beifan hugged Concubine Xiang and enjoyed the gentleness as he pulled open the Empire sandbox in his mind.
