Unfortunately, Jin would not allow Chu to watch from the sidelines.

Among the three countries, Chu was the weakest.

However, it was precisely because of this that they became the target that both countries wanted to ally with.

If they did not cooperate with in, Jin would definitely target them.

Moreover, they might even ally with the Great Yan and turn against them.

However, if they cooperated with Jin to send troops…

Once the Great Yan was destroyed, Jin would turn around and attack them.

This was inevitable. It was just a matter of time.

On the other hand, the envoy sent by the Great Yan, the one from the Nangong Family, had a point.

Instead of cooperating with Jin, Chu might as well ally with the Great Yan secretly.

At the critical moment, they would deal a heavy blow to Jin, knock down their spirit, and weaken their strength at the same time.

In this way, Jin would decline, and the three countries would usher in a new balance.

Right now, the Great Yan’s imperial power had been replaced, and they had to cede land and pay reparations. The country’s strength had been greatly damaged, and they would need decades to recuperate.

After the war ended, the Great Yan would not declare war on the outside world.

And Chu also needed such a period of time to recuperate.

As for Jin, the situation would be similar.

In this way, the three countries could coexist and welcome at least ten years of peace.

Previously, when he met Nangong Xiao, he felt that his analysis was reasonable. However, he did not think that the imperial court of the Great Yan would do as he said.

Although he had verbally agreed to it, he could change his mind at any time until the last moment.

But now, his thoughts had changed.

Mr. Wuji, it was Mr. Wuji after all.

In such a short period of time, the situation in the Great Yan had changed.

He even replaced the Emperor of Great Yan.

The road had already been thought of for them. Since that was the case, what was there to hesitate about for Chu?

Yuchi Tianqiong cupped his hands and bowed when he saw his Emperor’s panicked expression.

Your Majesty, please act according to our previous agreement with the Great Yan.”

Emperor Chu looked at Yuchi Tianqiong and nodded a moment later.

“Alright.”

The Great Yan, Imperial Palace.

“Nangong Xiao, accept the decree.” Emperor Yan sat on the dragon throne and said in a deep voice.

Li Xiao was silent for a moment.

Then, he knelt down on one knee and bowed.

“I accept the decree.”

He did not want to carry the Nangong surname anymore.

That was why he had repeatedly rejected the Emperor’s proposal and was unwilling to appear in the Imperial Court.

He thought that the Emperor would let go, but he did not expect that he would still come tonight.

“I’ll appoint you as the marshal of the three armies, commanding the troops at the border. Tomorrow, we will secretly leave for the border.”

“Yes!”

Murong Xuyang shot a glance at the person beside him.

Eunuch Hu immediately handed over the commander’s seal.

Yes, after the Retired Emperor passed away, Eunuch Da Hu enjoyed his old age. The one serving the new Emperor now was Eunuch Da Hu’s adopted son, Eunuch Hu.

He was able to succeed by relying on his father’s

Li Xiao glanced at the commander’s seal and accepted it.

“The situation is urgent. Once the news of n=me succeeding the throne spreads, Chu and Jin will definitely make their move very soon.”

“I will only feel at ease if you go, dear minister.” Emperor Yan looked at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao hurriedly bowed.

“I already know your thoughts.”

“I’m not my father, 1 will not attack the Nangong Family.”

“When you return, I will bestow you with an edict of immunity to ensure the peace of the Nangong Clan. As long as the Great Yan is not destroyed, the Nangong Clan will enjoy eternal glory.” Murong Xuyang said.

Li Xiao was shocked.

Then, he bowed to Murong Xuyang again.

“After the war, the kingdom will be stable. I only wish to bring the head of Anyang County back to Qingshi Town and spend the rest of my life in the village.”

Murong Xuyang frowned.

“Then 1 shall confer you the title Prince Anyang and grant you Anyang County as your fief.”

Seeing that Li Xiao was about to refuse again, Murong Xuyang quickly added, “there’s no need to use the Nangong Clan’s name. I’ll give it to you as Li Xiao.” In addition, the edict of immunity remains.”

He had just ascended the throne, so he had to appease the Imperial Advisor and the Nangong family. He had to let the world see his benevolence.

It was necessary to confer him the title of king. It was just right to give him Anyang County.

Firstly, Anyang County was his fief. If he gave the fief to Li Xiao, the people would praise him.

Secondly, he already had some operations in Anyang County. After Li Xiao went, he could keep track of his activities.

Thirdly, compared to the Great Yan, Anyang County was too small. It was almost impossible for Anyang County to compete with the Great Yan.

It was worth it to trade the title Prince Anyang for military power..
