smile couldn't help but curl up at the corner of his mouth.Especially when he thought about his mother being pregnant now, and in just a short while he would be able to hold his own younger brother o...Maybe this is a typical... A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!

Even if the emperor were incompetent, the foundations laid down over the past few decades are still there. It would be quite difficult for these small countries to deal with the Heavenly Hegemony Nation.

An Xuetang carefully looked at the terrain of Beijang City. To the north of Beijang was the country of Lan.

To the east of Beijiang lies a small country known as Dayue.

To the west of Beijiang lies a small kingdom called Xiliang, but both Beijiang and these two countries are separated by several mountains. It would be quite difficult for these two countries to pose a threat to Beijiang.

Now, Lan Guo in the north should not attack Beijang for a short period. This means that if Beijang starts a war now, An Xuetang won't have to worry about being attacked from all sides.

An Xuetang reached out her hand, and from the side she took out several small flags. Then, she inserted two of them between Daxue Country and Xiliang Country and Beijang City respectively.

Yunyī and Yǔwǔ looked at each other, both with confusion in their eyes, obviously unsure of what An Xuetang meant by this.

An Xuetang stared at the terrain in silence for a long time before finally speaking:

"Yun Yi, how many soldiers from our Beijiang army can actually fight"

"Your Highness, the army recently completed a headcount. There are approximately 340,000 soldiers currently able to fight."

"Thirty-four thousand people…"

An Xuetang thought seriously about the number and then looked at Yun Yi:

"So, first tell me about these Great Moon Country and Western Liang Country. I know nothing about either of them, so please enlighten me. What is the fighting strength of these two nations"

Yunyī and Yǔwǔ looked at each other, the confusion in their eyes deepening. They clearly didn't understand what An Xuetang was trying to do by asking these questions.

But Yunyi still truthfully explained, "Reporting to the Princess, Dà Yuè Country and Xī Liáng Country have always been peaceful nations. The soldiers of Dà Yuè Country are skilled horsemen and archers; they are very strong in combat, but they only want to protect their own territory, so they never proactively declare war on any neighboring countries."

Unless someone wants to invade their Great Moon Country, though these days everyone knows the men of Great Moon Country are brave and skilled warriors, they would do anything to protect their territory.

"All neighboring countries know that declaring war on the Great Moon Kingdom is not a wise move, so the Great Moon Kingdom lives relatively peacefully and has friendly relations with its neighbors."

As soon as Yun Yi finished describing the situation in Dayue Country, Yun Wu beside him took over and explained the situation in Xiliang Country to An Xue Tang:

"The country of Xiliang to the west of our northern borders is actually a matriarchal society. The women rule Xiliang and pose little threat to other countries."

"...." Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Hearing the three words 'Daughter Country,' An Xuetang raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Do you mean that the Western Liang Kingdom is ruled by a female emperor, and women have more power"

“Yes, there are more women than men in Xiliang. Because they are women, their ability to fight is not very outstanding. There are already few men in Xiliang, and there are not many capable people in the army. If we follow conventional methods of warfare, Xiliang would have no chance of winning against any other country.”

But the women of Xiliang Country are skilled in using poison and have extremely vicious minds.

Once angered, they will stop at nothing to poison you, so generally no one would go out of their way to provoke them for such a small piece of territory.

After listening to Yun Yi and Yun Wu's explanation, An Xue Tang fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking:

"Cloud One and Cloud Five, what do you think about the emperor's chances of collaborating with those two neighboring countries to attack our northern border"

"...."

Upon hearing An Xue Tang's question, Yun Yi and Yun Wu stiffened instantly. The two subconsciously glanced at each other, with Yun Yi frowning even more as he looked at An Xue Tang:

"Your Highness, do you suspect that the Emperor would collude with a neighboring kingdom to attack our northern border"

"I can't help but wonder," An Xuetang nodded slightly and explained slowly, "could that so-called 'dog emperor' do anything"

“If the Dog Emperor truly made up his mind to attack the Northern Border, he would certainly make thorough preparations, sending troops from Ancheng and Yangcheng to attack us. But he must also be afraid that we would join forces with the Blue Nation, after all, their Emperor just wrote him a letter, didn't he”

Before Mo Yunjing entered the capital, King Lan had already written to the emperor. Lan Chu Xiao had already told the emperor that he was Yun Er's identity, so the emperor naturally knew that the relationship between Lan Guo and Bei Jiang was impossible to fight.

And he was also afraid that once Ancheng and Yangcheng started fighting, Bei Jiang and Lan Guo would unite. At that time, Ancheng and Yangcheng would very likely be unable to hold on.

In that case, it would be a losing battle. Therefore, any intelligent emperor would never launch an attack on the Northern Border without proper preparation.

Yun Yi and Yun Wu both thought seriously about An Xue Tang's words, then nodded in unison, saying in unison, "The probability is very high."

"!"

An Xuetang pursed her lips. If the chances were high, it would be quite troublesome.

After all, she hasn't yet researched powerful explosives. If war broke out now, she wouldn't be confident of winning.

Just as An Xuetang was still thinking about what she should do, Feng Ming rushed in, and Ning'er outside the door couldn't stop him.

And Xue Tang and the others looked at Feng Ming, whose eyes and eyebrows betrayed a certain excitement. An Xue Tang asked suspiciously, “Brother, what is this”

"A Tang, you come with me first."dn't we have received Yun Liu's letter the day before yesterday"It's no wonder she felt this way, her abdomen had been aching faintly these past two days. On top of that, dealing with Fu'er had caused...
