The officials in the hall began to discuss again, whispering to each other.

Did Yuan Xiong’s words make sense?

There was.

The purpose of this expedition was to restrain the Jing Kingdom and force them to retreat. As long as Wei Yuan destroyed the Yan Kingdom, besieged the city, and then destroyed the Kang Kingdom, who had come to rescue them, would the Jing Kingdom not retreat?

What Wei Yuan had already done was to besiege the fire country’s capital.

Or, wouldn’t it be better to directly launch a surprise attack on Jingguo?

However, he chose to attack Jingshan city and eventually died together with the witchcraft cult’s headquarters. This was unprecedented, but it also cost the Army.

Of the eighteen thousand remaining troops, most of them had retreated from the fire Country. The number of soldiers who had survived the battle at Jingshan city was less than five thousand.

No one believed that Wei Yuan wasn’t greedy.

Seeing that the time was right, the Minister of War, Qin Yuandao, stepped out and said in a deep voice,

“Your Majesty, this subject feels that imperial censor Yuan’s words are extremely true. Wei Yuan’s greed had not only cost the lives of 80000 soldiers, but he had also incurred the revenge of the witch God sect. If Xu Qi ‘an hadn’t happened to be in Yuyang pass, Xiangzhou would have been turned into a wasteland by now. The people would have been slaughtered in revenge, and the tragedy from forty years ago would have repeated itself.”

This … The officials of the Wei faction had a slight change in expression.

Qin Yuandao had actually used this matter to attack Lord Wei, and it was indeed true, so no one could refute it.

Once Yuyang pass fell and the people of Xiang province were killed, Duke of Wei would not have any credit for his actions.

Wang shoufu frowned as a strange feeling rose in his heart. The Yan and Kang

mngaom•s attacK on yuyang pass was simply pavmg me way ror His maJescy to kill Wei Yuan.

It wasn’t just for the sake of a reputation. There must be some hidden story behind it. Or perhaps, killing Wei Yuan’s achievements was only one of the goals … Chief advisor Wang’s heart sank. He stepped out of the ranks and said,

“To tell you the truth, I’ve already met Xu Qi ‘an. He told me that I went to

Yuyang pass on Wei Yuan’s request. Wei Yuan knew that the witch God religion would definitely take revenge, so he had a backup plan.” Beautiful!
