God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine
Chapter 536 Situation
In this complex situation, Emperor Liang finally decided to hold back and resolve domestic conflicts first. He knew that if the internal situation was unstable, it would be difficult to achieve a long-term victory even if he sent troops to Chu.
Emperor Liang summoned ministers including Li Xuan and Wang Kun to try to reconcile the conflict between the two factions.
"The country is now at a critical stage of development, and internal unity is of vital importance. Reform is imperative, but it must also be carried out step by step, taking into account the interests of all parties," Emperor Liang said earnestly.
Li Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we will definitely put the interests of the country first and seek a proper solution."
Although Wang Kun was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey Emperor Liang's order and could only agree reluctantly.
After some negotiations, the two sides reached a certain compromise. While the reform was progressing steadily, it also appropriately protected some of the interests of the conservatives.
In the State of Chu, the struggle for the throne intensified. The prince who sought support from the State of Liang was outnumbered and eventually lost the fight and was framed and imprisoned by the other princes.
The situation in Chu State became increasingly chaotic, and the morale of the border defenders was low due to long-term infighting.
At this time, the reforms in Liang State were beginning to bear fruit, the economy was booming, and the military was also strengthened. Some ministers again advised the Emperor of Liang to send troops to Chu State.
Li Xuan reminded him, "Your Majesty, although Chu is in chaos, it is still alive. If we attack rashly, we may get stuck in a quagmire."
But the ministers who advocated war spoke fiercely: "If we don't send troops now, when will we? The opportunity is rare and will never come again!"
Emperor Liang fell into deep contemplation. He understood that this was a major decision concerning the future of Liang State...
After weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Liang decided to send spies deep into the State of Chu to find out its true military deployment and domestic conditions.
After many hardships, the spies finally brought back important intelligence. It turned out that although Chu was in constant internal strife, there were still some loyal generals who held on to the border, and the people in the country were full of fear and resistance to war.
Upon learning of this, Emperor Liang once again summoned his ministers to discuss the matter.
"Based on the current intelligence, the State of Chu is not vulnerable. If we send troops rashly, it will be difficult to win quickly," Li Xuan analyzed.
The ministers who advocated war retorted: "The people of Chu are in panic now. It is a good time for us to attack in one fell swoop."
As the two sides were arguing, an old general stood up and said, "Your Majesty, war is no joke. We must not only consider the immediate interests, but also the long-term. Even if we can defeat Chu, we will pay a huge price and the people will be deeply trapped in the flames of war."
Emperor Liang nodded slightly, and had already made up his mind. He decided to continue to strengthen Liang's military preparations, while keeping a close eye on the dynamics of Chu, waiting for a more favorable opportunity.
In the following days, Liang State developed its domestic economy while training soldiers, while the situation in Chu State remained turbulent and the people were living in misery.
Finally, the internal conflicts in Chu State reached a climax, and some places even had uprisings. Emperor Liang believed that the time had come and decisively ordered troops to attack Chu State.
The Liang army marched towards the Chu State with great force, and they were unstoppable all the way. However, the Chu State's resistance was stronger than expected, and the war fell into a stalemate.
In a crucial battle, the army of Liang encountered a stubborn resistance from Chu and suffered heavy casualties. Emperor Liang was extremely worried and personally went to the front line to supervise the battle.
"Soldiers, for the glory of Liang State and the peace of the people, we must win!" The voice of Emperor Liang echoed on the battlefield.
Inspired by Emperor Liang, the morale of the Liang soldiers was greatly boosted. They fought bravely and finally broke through the defense line of Chu.
As the war progressed, Liang State gradually gained the upper hand. However, Liang State's grain supply had problems at this time, and the transportation routes in the rear were destroyed by the remnants of Chu State.
Faced with this dilemma, can Liang finally defeat Chu and achieve its goal of dominating the world? Everything is still unknown...
