I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory
Chapter Summary
Anyone who has seen the dagger has already met their end…”Lin Beifan rapidly absorbed the knowledge and mastered Xiao Li’s Flying Dagger. ”Cao Cao said, “Your Majesty, allowing the Northern Army to increase its troops by 200,000 may not be appropriate! ” The other party said with a hint of a warning smile, “General An, think about it carefully, could you have overthrown Great Xia and become Emperor without our help?
“Ding!
Due to the player’s increase in national power and corresponding strength growth, you are rewarded with Xiao Li’s Flying Dagger!
”“Xiao Li’s Flying Dagger never misses its mark!
This is a strike that seeks the ultimate speed, a strike that channels the essence, energy, and spirit of the entire body, a divine strike that hits its target every single time!
Anyone who has seen the dagger has already met their end…”Lin Beifan rapidly absorbed the knowledge and mastered Xiao Li’s Flying Dagger.
He discovered that this ability was truly too overpowered!
Channeling the essence, energy, and spirit into a single strike meant that the stronger he became, the more powerful Xiao Li’s Flying Dagger he unleashed would be!
Moreover, it didn’t focus on strength or breath but on intent!
As long as he set his mind to it, it wasn’t just daggers that could be used in this way, but swords as well!
Thus, his power surged dramatically!
“With my current strength, if I unleash the most powerful Xiao Li’s Flying Dagger, I might even be able to injure a Grandmaster!
” Lin Beifan was very pleased and issued a decree.
“Generals An Lushan and Shi Siming have broken through to become Innate, which greatly comforts my heart.
Each shall be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver to encourage them!
Regarding their proposal to increase the troops by 200,000, I have agreed!
” “Yes, Your Majesty!
”Observing Cao Cao, who seemed hesitant to speak, Lin Beifan asked, “Minister Cao, do you have something you wish to say to me?
”“Your Majesty!
”Cao Cao first bowed, “Please forgive your humble servant for any offense.
Only then does your servant dare to speak boldly!
”Lin Beifan was surprised, “Alright, I forgive you of any offense.
Speak your mind!
”Cao Cao said, “Your Majesty, allowing the Northern Army to increase its troops by 200,000 may not be appropriate!
”Lin Beifan asked, “Wy it’s inappropriate?
”“Your Majesty, the Northern Army already has 300,000 troops.
If we recruit another 200,000, the number will reach 500,000, which is more than half of our Great Xia’s army.
This has already affected the balance of military power!
”“Although Generals An Lushan and Shi Siming have made great contributions, commanding an army of 500,000 may not win the support of all!
”“Furthermore, this humble servant observes that Generals An Lushan and Shi Siming have some improper intentions and great ambition.
When their power was not significant, they could remain content.
But now that they have become Innate, their ambition will inevitably swell.
Commanding 500,000 troops and holding high authority, in the end, I fear they might threaten your…”Cao Cao glanced at Lin Beifan and said in a low voice, “Threaten your rule!
Please, Your Majesty, think it over thrice!
”Lin Beifan glanced at Cao Cao.
Truly worthy of being Cao Cao, his gaze is sharp and ruthless.
He’s somehow a newcomer, but he was able to discern the wild ambitions of those two!
Lin Beifan waved his hand and said with a smile, “Minister Cao is overthinking it.
A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier!
And a general who doesn’t want to be an Emperor… is likewise not a good general!
”Cao Cao was shocked!
His Majesty had actually uttered such a heretical statement!
Lin Beifan continued, “It doesn’t matter who it is, as long as they have the capability and ambition, they will inevitably rebel in the end!
This has always been the case throughout history!
Who knows how many countries have changed dynasties because of this!
”“Therefore, it’s impossible to prevent, and there’s no need to try!
Defeat one General An, and another General Lin will emerge!
Defeat General Lin, and yet another general will rise!
”“History, no matter how it unfolds, will always return to the same old path!
”Lin Beifan sighed, “If that’s the case, why can’t I leave someone easy to deal with?
It’s always better to have someone whose actions are out in the open, clear for all to see, than someone who schemes in the shadows, right?
”Cao Cao broke out in a cold sweat, “Your Majesty, your humble servant had no intention of harming anyone!
I was merely concerned that his control over 500,000 troops posed a threat to you, which is why I spoke up to remind you…”“500,000 troops, is that a lot?
”Lin Beifan tilted his head, “The number of troops that have died at my hands is well over a million!
”Cao Cao suddenly remembered that this Emperor was no simple character!
He too had fought several battles, and each time he emerged completely victorious!
The number of people he had killed was probably indeed over a million, more than all the other generals combined!
Looking only at the result, he’s quite a formidable character!
Cao Cao had nothing to say, touched his back, and realized it was soaked through.
At this moment, Li Linfu, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, walked over and said loudly, “Reporting to Your Majesty, the New Year is approaching!
This year, our Great Xia has resisted powerful enemies abroad, revitalized the economy and the livelihood of the people at home, and increased our national power several-fold, becoming one of the great kingdoms of the world.
All of this is thanks to Your Majesty’s efforts!
Therefore, your humble servant wishes to hold a grand banquet for Your Majesty on the occasion of the New Year!
”Lin Beifan was very pleased: “Good!
This year, not only have I made efforts, but the officials have also worked hard!
Therefore, we must hold a grand celebration to reward the officials and meritorious servants so that the monarch and his subjects can rejoice together!
This matter will be entrusted to you, Minister!
” “Your humble servant obeys the decree!
However, the banquet does not yet have a name, please grant it one, Your Majesty!
”Lin Beifan laughed heartily: “In this banquet, there must be the most fragrant wine, the fattest meat, the most beautiful people, and the best performances, indulging in all pleasures and happiness.
Why not call it the Banquet of Ultimate Bliss!
”“What a wonderful name, your humble servant obeys the decree!
”……In the Northern Army Camp.
An Lushan received the imperial decree, his face alight with joy: “His Majesty has agreed, allowing us to increase our troops by 200,000!
With this, we will have an army of 500,000 strong, haha!
”Shi Siming was extremely excited: “Elder brother, this is fantastic.
Our opportunity has come!
”Inside the tent, there were also a few strangers with distinguished air about them.
Upon hearing this news, they too were very happy, and they all congratulated him with clasped hands.
“Congratulations to General An, you are greatly trusted and valued by the foolish emperor!
”“Not only have I achieved a breakthrough in strength, but I’ve also gained control over more troops.
It’s a double blessing, haha!
”“With an army of 500,000, a great undertaking is within reach!
”An Lushan listened with increasing joy and burst into hearty laughter: “Please, take a seat, everyone.
We need to discuss this matter at length!
”The crowd sat down one after another, their expressions turning solemn.
An Lushan also ordered his confidants to stand guard outside, not allowing anyone to come within thirty feet, creating an air of great secrecy.
An Lushan spoke with a grave expression: “As you all know, Great Xia is becoming increasingly powerful.
Not only do they have a strong army, but they also have many experts!
With just my brother and I, plus an army of 500,000, it is absolutely impossible to overthrow Great Xia!
”“Rest assured, General An, we have already taken care of everything for you!
”One of the middle-aged men spoke with a smile, “We have already made contact with Great Yue, and they will also send an army of 500,000.
Combined with our forces, we will have a total of one million formidable troops.
With such a force, we will be invincible and achieve swift victory!
”“Moreover, Great Yue and our noble family will also send Innate masters to assist!
Coupled with your inside and outside coordination, General An, we will catch them completely off guard… With this, won’t the entire realm of Great Xia fall into our hands?
”Everyone looked at each other and burst into triumphant laughter.
An Lushan was very tempted: “Then how will the benefits be distributed?
”“If General An wishes to become Emperor, then naturally you will be the Emperor of Great Xia, there’s no question about that!
”“However, those mines will belong to our noble family.
We will have the final say on how they are developed and utilized.
Please, General An, do not interfere!
Of course, we will also share a portion of the profits with you!
”“As for Great Yue, they want half of Great Xia’s territory!
”An Lushan winced in pain, “All of these are the most valuable parts of Great Xia, and they’ve all been taken by you!
”“There must be give and take, you can’t expect to keep all the benefits to yourself!
” The other party said with a hint of a warning smile, “General An, think about it carefully, could you have overthrown Great Xia and become Emperor without our help?
Although you’ve given up a lot of interest, you’re still making a profit.
One must be content with what they can get!
”An Lushan was both angry and helpless.
In order to realize his own ambitions and aspirations, he had no choice but to make a deal with the tiger, sacrificing some of his interests!
“Alright, then here’s to our swift and resounding success!
” An Lushan raised his glass.
Everyone drank joyfully to the last drop.
At that moment, someone asked, “General An, when will you raise your troops?
”“Now is the winter season, cold and freezing.
We lack sufficient soldiers and horses; it is not suitable to deploy troops!
Wait until next spring, when the weather warms and our forces are fully assembled.
That will be the perfect time to march, overthrow Great Xia, don the yellow robe, and ascend the throne as Emperor!
”“Excellent!
” The crowd clapped their hands in approval.
