The old Emperor of Xiliang Country, upon learning of this matter, was infuriated and fell ill for over ten days, cursing this unfilial son.

The Seventh Prince, lacking in intelligence, paid no heed to his father’s reprimand.

He stood arrogantly on the court, proudly repeating the words once spoken by an official, even boasting shamelessly of the future unification of the Six Kingdoms and dominating the world.

The old Emperor was so enraged that he took off his shoe and hurled it at him, crying bitterly, declaring that Xiliang Country was in grave danger.

Indeed, without the support of those formidable twenty thousand troops, the army of Xiliang Country was significantly weakened.

Chu Yuxiao dispatched one hundred thousand troops to aid Guo Xing, and they attacked Xiliang Country with unstoppable vigor, taking only two months to break through the capital; the old Emperor and his ministers fled to Cangyue Country.

Empress Dowager Wen sent men to turn them away at the gate; having no other choice, Xiliang Country surrendered.

In the same winter, Xiliang Country perished, and Chu Yuxiao assigned Guo Xing, Zhao Kuang, and Li Nanrui to guard Xiliang Country, establishing three cities for each to oversee.

From setting out in early spring to attack Moyan Country, by the deep winter, the Great Nan Dynasty had conquered two countries and severely wounded another in less than a year.

The momentum was fierce, the whole nation was boiling with excitement, immersed in the joy of victory.

Coupled with bountiful summer and autumn harvests, the New Year of the Great Nan Dynasty was celebrated with great merriment and splendor.

Yet, Empress Dowager Wen had no festive spirit at all.

She knew for certain that Chu Yuxiao harbored thoughts of unifying the Six Kingdoms.

While Eastern Chu Country was a small nation that had been vanquished, not much bothered her, but a country as vast in territory and strong in power as Xiliang Country was also wiped out.

This forced her to contemplate deeply on the true strength of the Great Nan Dynasty.

With Xiliang Country gone, Chu Yuxiao would readily advance eastward, capturing their Cangyue Country and Moyan Country.

As for Fengling Country, which has been dependent on the Great Nan Dynasty all along, if her prediction was not wrong.

It had likely been subdued by the Great Nan Dynasty years ago, merely awaiting the handover of the Jade Seal and forces.

She was sure that if Chu Yuxiao commanded it, Fengling Country would surely yield their territories without batting an eye.

But her Cangyue Country was not as weak and incapable as Fengling Country, and would not obediently surrender their realm.
