Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention

Chapter 27 Can’t You Just Let Me Be at Ease?

Wei Yao had no choice but to retreat.

[You announced the withdrawal of the army. After returning to the court, Gongzi Jiu blamed the failure of the expedition on Pang Ming’s lack of cooperation. Pang Ming believed that Gongzi Jiu had neglected his duty. The two of them impeached each other in court, causing chaos.]

Wei Yao’s head was about to explode. She had originally earned a small profit from this war, but now it had become a huge loss. The chief general and the prime minister were even quarreling non-stop.

However, both of them had high prestige, and no matter who she punished, it would damage her own prestige.

Wei Yao could only have them beaten 50 times each, lowering both of their titles by one level.

She looked at Zhang Beichen again. His attributes had increased from a zero-star

purple card to a one-star card. All his attributes had increased.

‘You guys go ahead and argue. I’ll get rid of you guys after I train Zhang Beichen to a gold card!’ Wei Yao wanted to put Zhang Beichen in an important position, but he didn’t have enough Reputation and couldn’t be appointed to an important position.

[You have reorganized the military and recuperated for a year. Kingdom Wei has recovered part of its strength.]

Choices appeared in front of Wei Yao again.

[Option 1: Continue to recuperate and

reorganize the government.]

[Option 2: Unite the other kingdoms to attack

Kingdom Qin again.]

[Option 3: Attack other kingdoms.]

‘There’s no need to recuperate. The other

kingdoms are also developing. Kingdom Chu which is next to us is even stronger than Kingdom Wei. If I continue to develop, Kingdom Chu might destroy us first.’ Wei Yao rejected the first option and started to think about the second option.

‘We’ve attacked Kingdom Qin so many times, but ever since Ying Yiren became a coward, we’ve never taken down Kingdom Qin before.’ Wei Yao was a little depressed. ‘Forget it, I’ll let her go for now and take over the surrounding kingdoms!’

[You have given the order for General Pang Ming to lead the troops to Kingdom Han. Zhang Beichen will be the colonel and will lead the troops to Kingdom Han.]

Out of the seven kingdoms, Kingdom Han and Kingdom Yan were the weakest. Their land area was small, resources were scarce, and they were often attacked by the surrounding kingdoms.

‘I’m finally a colonel.’ Zhang Beichen saw that

his rank had been promoted. The so-called colonel was above a chiliarch, and he managed about 3000 soldiers.

During this period, Kingdom Wei had a large population and a strong military force. If the entire kingdom was to be mobilized, including the soldiers, farmers, slaves, and the private soldiers of the nobles, they would be able to gather an army of 700,000!

On the other hand, Kingdom Han could barely gather 300,000 with the help of the entire kingdom. Within these three hundred

thousand, at least half of them were old, weak, sick, and disabled.

Of course, attacking Kingdom Han didn’t require Wei Yao to gather all the troops in the

country. She had sent 200,000 elite soldiers to Pang Ming, and the Wei soldiers were all third-realm martial artists!

Their general, Pang Ming, was a militarist

grand cultivator in the ninth realm. Unlike Gongzi Jiu, although Pang Ming had his own selfish motives, he was one of the strongest in the seven kingdoms. Otherwise, Kingdom Wei wouldn’t be so powerful!

[You followed Pang Ming to attack Kingdom Han and achieved success time and time again. However, Pang Ming thinks that you are too talented in The Art of War and is jealous of you. He deliberately found an excuse to strip you of your military achievements and not

promote you.]

Zhang Beichen had no choice in this situation.

Pang Ming was powerful, but he was too narrow-minded and petty.

If it was in the past, he could only sigh at how

realistic the game was. Every NPC had its own

personality.

After he transmigrated, he understood that this

was all real. The characters in the simulation would follow their characters in real life.

…

[General Pang Ming led his army to conquer the entire Kingdom Han. In less than 10 months, he took down the capital of Kingdom

Han, destroyed it, and took over Kingdom Han’s territory!] Wei Yao finally received some

good news.

“Woo!” Wei Yao cheered, “My Kingdom Wei is still very strong. Didn’t I just take down Kingdom Han? Now, only six out of the seven

kingdoms remain! Fight them one by one, and

I will rule the world sooner or later.” [When General Pang Ming returned to the

imperial court, he was in the limelight for a while. Hundreds of officials congratulated and complimented him, causing his ambition to grow and he often overstepped his boundaries.]

Wei Yao realized that her subordinates were all

good at causing trouble. A young master with great ambition but little talent could mess up everything; Pang Ming was good at war, but he didn’t listen to orders. If he wasn’t controlled

well, there was a possibility of him betraying her. In the previous simulation, Pang Ming

betrayed her and led his troops to kill her. “Can’t you come up with something that will save me a lot of trouble, so that I can easily

unify the world?” Wei Yao furrowed her brows slightly, a little troubled.

[You hit Pang Ming, and his arrogance has

been restrained.]

Wei Yao recuperated for another year, and

during that year, the situation in the world was changing.

When Kingdom Han was destroyed, the neighboring Kingdom Song (one of the smaller kingdoms), Kingdom Qi, and Kingdom Zhao were worried that they would be attacked by

Kingdom Wei, so they immediately formed an alliance.

As for the powerful Kingdom Chu, they built a

city near the border and stationed troops to guard against Wei.

At the same time, these kingdoms also began

their own conquests. In two years, dozens of small kingdoms in the world were destroyed! On the other side, Ying Yiren had been developing Kingdom Qin for two years and finally made Kingdom Qin stronger, recovering some of its lost territories. At the same time, Kingdom Qin was also expanding.

Ying Yiren didn’t choose to fight head-on with Wei and the other kingdoms. Instead, she headed west and north to attack the Rongdi

tribe and Xiongnu to occupy their territories.

Wei Yao was a little anxious. Everyone was still developing, and her speed of unification was still not fast enough.

She gave another sovereign’s order.

[You have ordered General Pang Ming to attack Kingdom Song and Kingdom Zhao.] [Colonel Zhang Beichen has submitted a

petition. He believes that Kingdom Wei should not attack frequently to avoid the fear of other kingdoms. They should make friends with

distant and close enemies and slow down Kingdom Wei’s pace.]

[In court, Prime Minister Gongzi Jiu ridiculed

Zhang Beichen for being weak and useless. General Pang Ming unexpectedly agreed with Gongzi Jiu’s point of view and reprimanded

Zhang Beichen for being a coward. They requested for Zhang Beichen to be removed from his position.]

“You two still have the nerve to scold Zhang Beichen!” Wei Yao was speechless. Although she didn’t really agree with Zhang Beichen’s point of view, he was still loyal to her! His loyalty had not dropped even when Gong

Zijiu and Pang Ming were working together to suppress him. On the other hand, Gong Zijiu and Pang Ming’s loyalty would decrease at any time. If it wasn’t for the fact that she didn’t have anyone to replace them, she would have already replaced them a long time ago!

[You suppressed Gongzi Jiu and Pang Ming’s impeachment and promoted Zhang Beichen to the brigade commander.]

A brigade commander could manage five

thousand people.

Pang Ming is very dissatisfied with your

appointment. He thinks you value Zhang Beichen too much.

[Pang Ming has mobilized his troops to attack

the Kingdom Song.]

…

Zhang Beichen naturally followed them to

Kingdom Song, but he didn’t have the chance

to make any military achievements. The narrow-minded Pang Ming had always

arranged for him to guard the camp and not let him go to the front line. During this period, Zhang Beichen’s growth

was slow. It was not until the Wei army destroyed Kingdom Song that his two-star purple card was upgraded to a three-star purple card.

After taking down Kingdom Song, Kingdom Wei was naturally overjoyed. Wei Yao once again rewarded Pang Ming and told him to

continue attacking and take down Kingdom Zhao.

“This little girl is too anxious!” Zhang Beichen observed the situation and noticed something was wrong.

At the start of the game, although there were that were on friendly terms with each other on the map, there were no allies.

kingdoms

After Wei took down Kingdom Han, other

kingdoms began to form alliances.

Song,

After Kingdom Wei took down Kingdom almost all the other kingdoms started to form alliances. Even Kingdom Qin, which had been attacked by all the kingdoms at the beginning, was allowed to join the alliance. The monarchs of the various kingdoms understood the principle of mutual dependence. If Kingdom Wei continued to fight, it was likely to trigger a joint attack from

other kingdoms!

If nothing has happened yet, something would

probably happen soon.
