"Immediately send a message to Zhao Chenchen in Wanping City and Zhao Hui in Yun'an City. They must hand over their military power within one day and leave immediately to report to Nanyu City."

Zhao Pengju's face turned pale, he didn't expect Ye Feng to be so insidious. He started to plot against him while he was still in Luofu City. He would not let Nanyu County go easily.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid that if we force them too hastily, it might backfire." Li Deng frowned slightly. He felt that if he forced Zhao Chenchen and others too hastily, not only would it not be effective, it might just help Ye Feng.

The enthronement order issued by Ye Feng was exactly the same as the previous enfeoffment order, which was intended to completely divide the entire Nanyu County and the relationship between Zhao Pengju and his sons.

"I also know that if I push too hard, it may backfire. But now they have the decree to confer the title of King of the State. If they dare to declare themselves king, what will we do then?"

Zhao Pengju knew very well that for the previous Enfeoffment Order, he had summoned all his sons and scolded them one by one, but the current Enthronement Order would be more difficult to handle.

"Your Highness, don't worry. We control an army of more than 200,000. I don't think they would dare to act rashly." Li Deng analyzed.

"What the military advisor means is that we just wait and do nothing. I am really worried." Zhao Pengju is now like an ant on hot pot.

He secretly regretted in his heart that if he had known he would meet someone like Ye Feng, he should not have given birth to so many sons, and the current situation would not have occurred.

"Respond to changes with the same attitude." Li Deng said slowly, "Let's think about it the other way around. Why did Ye Feng go to such lengths to make so many moves? It's because the troops he has are not enough to break through Nanyu County, so he tried every means to weaken the prince's power. The more this happens, the safer Nanyu County will be, and he won't dare to attack rashly."

"Your analysis does make sense."

Zhao Pengju felt that Li Deng’s analysis made sense and nodded.

"Continue to send people out to monitor every move in various places. If anyone dares to act rashly, report here immediately. I will personally lead the army to destroy him."

Zhao Pengju also seemed very cautious. He knew very well that in the current situation, he must not give Ye Feng any chance to take advantage of, otherwise he would be doomed.

"As ordered."

Li Deng bowed and did not continue to refute. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. They must also grasp the situation of the entire Nanyu County in order to be able to respond better.

……

Su family mansion, meeting hall.

Su Chen sat in the main seat, with core members of the Su family on both sides.

"I believe you have all heard about the decree issued by the Lord of the State to confer titles on the descendants of the King of Nanyu?"

Su Chen looked at the many elders and deacons. When he heard about this, he was also extremely shocked. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this move by the King of the Nation was really too mean.

Thinking of the Enfeoffment Order issued before, and how it complemented the Conferment Order, Zhao Pengju was now like an ant on a hot pot, feeling uneasy.

"Master, the schemes and intrigues of this state guardian are really more cruel than the last. With Zhao Pengju's character, he will definitely be suspicious of his sons, and then there will definitely be a fight between father and son. The brothers will also be jealous of each other because of the uneven distribution of fiefs, and fights will occur."

Su Yuanlin couldn't help but complain.

"I will go and meet the King of Zhenguo in person. If he is determined to send troops to destroy the King of Nanyu, our Su family will definitely do our part."

Su Chen summoned everyone for this very purpose. The Su family did not have any army, so if they wanted to attack Nanyu County, they had to temporarily form an army.

"Over the years, our Su family has been on the battlefield many times. If the king needs us, we will go through fire and water without hesitation."

The old man sitting in the front row was the eldest elder of the Su family. His face was full of wrinkles and trembling slightly, but his voice was sonorous and powerful, without any affectation.

"Since you agree with me, I feel more confident."

Su Chen said this to everyone with a smile, then stood up and walked out of the hall.

……

"Your Majesty, there is a man outside who claims to be Zhao Chenchen, the eighth son of King Nanyu. He said he wants to see someone for something urgent." A guard quickly came to the outside of Ye Feng's yard and bowed to report.

Madam Xinling was sitting not far away, with admiration in her eyes. She didn't expect that just as Ye Feng said yesterday, this guy really had a plan for everything. Zhao Pengju's sons really came to Luofu City.

"Take him to the drawing-room."

Ye Feng conveyed his orders to the guards outside, then stood up and walked towards the reception room outside the courtyard, with Madam Xinling following closely behind him.

In the reception room, Ye Feng sat in the main seat. After a while, he saw a middle-aged man with a thin figure and wearing a white robe. He came to the reception room with a smile on his face. He bowed directly to Ye Feng who was sitting in the main seat and said, "Zhao Chenchen, the Lord of Wanping City, pays homage to the Lord of the State."

"Oh! So you are the lord of Wanping City in Nanyu County. I wonder why you come to see me?" Ye Feng knew what was going on in his heart. He naturally knew that Zhao Chenchen came to him for the purpose of granting him a title.

"Reporting to the Lord of the State, I am not only the Lord of Wanping City, but also the eighth son of the King of Nanyu. Since the Lord of the State issued the Enfeoffment Order and the Conferment Order, my father has accepted it on the surface. But in fact, he secretly sent people to monitor us and increase our taxes. He wanted to take our military power and use it for his own purposes to compete with the court. I am really overwhelmed and would like to ask the Lord of the State to make a decision for me."

The emotions in Zhao Chenchen's voice were filled with grief, anger, and indignation, which could be described as both expressive and emotional.

"I don't know how you want me to decide for you."

Ye Feng secretly laughed in his heart. The wisdom of the ancient Chinese was incredible. The Enfeoffment Order was a sure-fire move for all the princes.

The title means power and money. Everyone has desires. Even when facing father, son and brothers, it is difficult to restrain the expanding desires in one's heart.

"I will follow the decree of the Zhenguo monarch and establish myself as the king in Wanping City. When the time comes, my father will certainly send troops to encircle and suppress me. I hope the Zhenguo monarch will send troops to help me."

On the way here, Zhao Chenchen had already received the news of the enthronement order. He was enthroned as the King of Wanping by Ye Feng and his fiefdom was Wanping City. He was very excited.

"Don't worry about going back to inherit the throne. If your father dares to send troops to attack you, it will be tantamount to treason. When the time comes, I will definitely send troops to seek justice for you."

Ye Feng pretended to be very angry. Since Zhao Chenchen could act, he was not bad either. The two of them competed with each other in acting skills.

"But the distant water from Zhenguojun cannot save the nearby fire. When Wanping City is surrounded and Zhenguojun delays in sending troops, I will surely die." Zhao Chenchen was not to be fooled. When he heard Ye Feng's angry promise, he did not rush to express his opinion. Instead, he told Ye Feng about the situation in Wanping City.

He was also afraid of being used as a tool by Ye Feng. By then, he and his father Zhao Pengju would both suffer losses, while Ye Feng would reap the benefits, which would be a loss.
