<h4>Chapter 1489 The Messy Court (2)</h4>


    What else can they say?


    Even if they felt aggrieved with Emperor Zhang Hou Tian''s decision, there was nothing that they could do right now.


    Anyway, it was also the truth that Prime Minister Lei had been doing well so far.


    Prime Minister Tan, the other prime minister in Zhang Xu Kingdom aside from Prime Minister Lei, could see that the officials'' side and the Emperor''s side was mismatched and sighed internally. In the current situation, it was really hard to maintain the delicate bnce between the two of them.


    Once dissatisfaction arose, there will be someone who suffered.


    He hoped that it wouldn''t be him.


    "Your Majesty, the cities'' formation had been arranged by Prime Minister Lei before. I definitely can''t agree to everything, but I feel that we need to arrange more so that we can also intercept Fei Yang Kingdom and attack them." Prime Minister Tan cupped his fist.


    An official frowned. "If it''s possible to attack then it will be good. But right now, it''s more important for us to seize the situation at the frontline to our side''s advantage. Defense and the few tactics that had been prepared is the best solution."


    "Official Ku, this official knew that it''s important to seize the chance, but if we kept on passively defend, it will be impossible for us to win this battle. Preparing a chance to attack while they''re focusing to attack us is the best counterattack," another official interjected.


    The official called Official Ku snorted. He tapped the table where therge map was ced. "If we didn''t stabilize the position and blindly attack, that will only reveal more weakness on our side, Official Liu."


    Official Liu clicked his tongue. "It seems that because you''re getting older, you''re getting less and less courageous. Without any risk, there''s no chance of victory. Passively defending will only lead us to bigger loss."


    "That''s because you…"


    "You''re the one…"


    From Official Ku and Official Liu, the battle continued to be bigger and bigger as the other officials also joined in. Some sided with Official Liu while the others sided with Official Ku. In the end, Prime Minister Tan had topromise.


    Emperor Zhang Hou Tian watched the scene in front of him and yawned.


    He felt that in this damn battle, he was also the one who got tortured and had no other choice but to sleepte for the sake of these annoying officials.


    If only it was possible, he wished to kill everyone at the other side of Prime Minister Lei.


    But many of them were also in important position.


    If he were to blindly kill them all, it would result in nothing more than more troubles and work for him.


    But really…


    Emperor Zhang Hou Tian sighed.


    No wonder his father would rather y with his imperial concubines rather thaning here. Just from their debates, he doubted they will finish by tomorrow.


    …


    <Long distance away, Fei Yang Kingdom''s side at the long border between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom>


    The next day, the two sides were not attacking at all.


    Prime Minister Lei brought his soldiers and retreated to a more advantageous terrain. It was deeper in Zhang Xu Kingdom''s territory, which allow Fei Yang Kingdom to move forward after staying here for months.


    Great General Wei also made his preparation, but he was not in a hurry to chase after Prime Minister Lei.


    First of all, they had to make sure that the poison''s field in front of them was safe enough before they crossed it. If they were to increase casualties because they didn''t bother checking the condition on the front, that would be the stupidest move they made.


    General Chi joined the main army along with his soldiers.


    Great General Wei met with this general and nodded to show his appreciation. At the same time, the soldiers under General Chi were more than 10,000.


    They will need new leader to lead.


    "Have you thought of someone in your army who can lead the soldiers?" Great General Wei asked.


    General Chi looked at his soldiers and shook his head. "My two adjutants are not good enough even if they lead 5000 soldiers together. Not to mention, the two of them are often at disagreement. I''m thinking of letting these two went their separate ways unless there''s someone who can curb them. The othermanders can lead thest few thousand soldiers on their own too."


    Great General Wei didn''t know much about General Chi''s internal army''s situation. However, he had heard that the two adjutant didn''t get along much. In battle, they could still cooperate, but asking one to follow the other one''s order…


    That would be impossible.


    The two of them would refuse unless it was General Chi''s order.


    And the main problem stemmed in the fact that one of the army was the soldiers he brought from Zhang Xu Kingdom and the other from Fei Yang Kingdom he had gathered over the years during recruitment.


    The two sides couldn''t ept following the other''s order.


    Thus General Chi became the only one who can control them.


    Originally, he wished to let his son be the one to take over, but with his son had passed away, this was nothing more than a pipe dream.


    He definitely couldn''t do that.


    So he felt that it would be better to leave these two armies go on their separate ways as independent army.


    "It''s not necessarily agreed on by the others." Great General Wei shook his head.


    General Chi thought of General Cao and sighed deeply. Because of General Cao''s example, they couldn''t just let an army that came from other kingdom to just roam freely in their territory.


    What if they rebelled?


    Thus, a general will have to be appointed to lead these soldiers.


    Great General Wei could just bring them to his army, but the number of soldiers under him was already veryrge. If he were to bring more soldiers, it was estimated that Emperor Yang Zhou wouldn''t be pleased.
