1395 Raising an Army and Clearing the Emperor’s Side



"Therefore, the best way is to beat them into fear and then pacify the world in one go," Chu Yunfan said, "It's time for you to stand up."

"Me?" Wei Wuya's eyes widened in shock.

Chu Yunfan had always been standing at the forefront, so no one knew that Wei Wuya was involved.

"Of course. Otherwise, how am I supposed to convince the masses with just little old me?" Chu Yunfan said lightly.

Wei Wuya thought about it and agreed. If he didn't step forward now, he wouldn't be able to convince the public afterward. Moreover, he didn't want Chu Yunfan to steal all the limelight.

This was the instinct of a superior.

Although he couldn't say that he had overshadowed his master, even if he did, he couldn't do anything to Chu Yunfan. Experts of this level would usually be roped in by the imperial family. If it were not for the potential that Chu Yunfan had displayed, which made the imperial family afraid, they would not have suddenly made a move.

For the imperial family, Chu Yunfan might become their combat strength in the future, but it was more likely that he would become their stumbling block. After all, if his strength was so strong that they could not restrain him, then the existence of Great Wei would depend on Chu Yunfan's thoughts.

Such a situation was too unpredictable. In order to avoid such a situation, they would rather destroy him.

Of course, their judgment was wrong. Chu Yunfan was more difficult to deal with than they had imagined, which was why Wei Wuya had a chance.

Chu Yunfan had never thought of replacing Wei Wuya, because firstly, he didn't have any ambition to do so. Secondly, if the person he recommended was a member of the Wei imperial family, it would be easier for the people to accept him after the battle ended.

On the contrary, if he wanted to support a person from the Chu clan to ascend the throne, then Great Wei would probably welcome all kinds of rebellions.

"I believe that you should've developed your forces. This time, whether it's the military or the local forces, pull them all out," Chu Yunfan instructed, "If you want to be an emperor, you have to take responsibility. You can't always be behind me."

"Very well." Wei Wuya nodded. After saying that, he departed, beginning to contact his own forces.

The commotion caused by this battle had just begun to ferment in Great Wei. Especially in the south, countless forces held their breaths. Great Wei's Imperial Court suppressed all directions and was invincible. However, the strength that Chu Yunfan displayed shocked them.

Just the fact that Chu Yunfan had killed the First Guardian in a single battle made countless people's jaws drop.

In total, about 30,000 Imperial Soldiers had died at Chu Yunfan's hands. In addition, the First Guardian and more than 20 Core Guardians had died at his hands too. To Great Wei's Imperial Court, although it was not a serious injury, it was definitely a heavy loss.

The Imperial Soldiers were the elites of Great Wei's army. It wasn't easy to nurture every single one of them. In one breath, they had lost more than 30,000 soldiers. To the Imperial Soldiers, it was definitely a huge blow.

The forces in the north of Great Wei were also watching.

Just when many people thought that Chu Yunfan would stop while he was ahead and leave after rescuing the Chu clan, no one expected Wei Wuya, the eighteenth prince , to suddenly stand out and lead a 100,000-strong army toward the capital of Great Wei.

For a time, it caused a huge uproar.

Wei Wuya used the excuse that the emperor of Great Wei had been deceived and harmed by a traitor to launch a vigorous purge of the Imperial Court. With him stepping out from behind the scenes, it was clear who had saved the Chu clan.

The person behind the scenes was none other than the eighteenth prince.

With the slogan of eliminating the Imperial Court, Wei Wuya quickly led his army to conquer many cities in the south, including Conglong.

Conglong was on the lookout and did not dare to resist. It was precisely because Chu Yunfan came from Conglong that they knew Chu Yunfan's strength. With him overseeing the army, the city could not resist. It was not difficult for them to kill all the soldiers in the city.

After taking down Conglong, they used it as their base and attacked everywhere. They took down dozens of cities in the south of Great Wei. For a time, their momentum soared.

Great Wei had fallen into chaos. In just half a month, everything had happened.

Naturally, the Imperial Court reacted. When the emperor heard that Wei Wuya was rebelling, he was instantly enraged. He announced that he would remove Wei Wuya from the ranks of the imperial family and remove him from the Imperial Court. He also imprisoned Wei Wuya's mother. At the same time, he ordered the various regions to help the king. In just half a month, he had gathered a million troops from all over the world.

The 100,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army, led by General Ye Fei, swept toward the south. As for Wei Wuya, in just half a month, he had recruited an army of 200,000 soldiers, increasing his army from 100,000 to 300,000.

The battle between millions of people on both sides was about to break out. This battle would determine the fate of Great Wei. Who would be the one to decide who would rise and fall?

As Great Wei's rebel army marched south, Chu Yunfan and Wei Wuya sat opposite each other in Conglong.

"Master Chu, the Imperial Court's army is heading south. Based on their speed, they will arrive outside the city in three days," Wei Wuya said as he looked at Chu Yunfan. 

This was the information he had obtained from the spies. Because they were all martial artists and were not ordinary people, Great Wei army could travel day and night without much rest. They traveled thousands of miles a day all the way south.

"Yes." Chu Yunfan nodded, his expression noncommittal as if he didn't care about this news.

Wei Wuya smiled bitterly as he looked at Chu Yunfan. In just half a month's time, he had gone from a prince to the ruler of the southern region of Great Wei. It could be said that he had experienced a feeling that he had not experienced for decades.

However, what followed were all kinds of troubles. The recruitment of hundreds of thousands of troops and the management of dozens of cities instantly made him unable to make ends meet.

He had previously built up a team of people in the middle of his undercover period. At this time, it was not enough. He could not even maintain the basic operations of the team.
