Chapter 297 A Changing Situation

That night, Feng Yi convened an emergency meeting of the Phoenix Clan's core members to discuss a specific action plan. Changsun Wuya and his two sons were attending such a meeting for the first time, and as outsiders, they seemed somewhat different. Changsun Wuya was known for his clarity and succinctness, each sentence hitting the mark. His thoughtful wisdom and extensive experience in battlefield planning impressed the Phoenix Clan present.

"The military might of the Tianqi Dynasty cannot be underestimated, Emperor Feng. Your Feng Family Army comprises three hundred thousand elite soldiers. While Yun Xiaoling controls the Qingyu Army, while vast in size, the power and resources he holds are more important. If we can overthrow Yun Chuling and install him as the new emperor, leveraging this power will greatly increase our chances of victory, and we might even be able to reverse the situation in one fell swoop." Changsun Wuya spoke in a steady tone, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. "On the surface, Yun Chuling may appear rock-solid, but in reality, his regime harbors many hidden dangers. As long as we seize these vulnerabilities, we can make him lose sight of one thing while focusing on another."

Feng Jingxuan frowned, as if he had some concerns about this plan: "Grandfather, the Apocalypse Dynasty is the sphere of influence of the Dragon Clan after all. If our actions are too conspicuous, will it attract the strong men of the Dragon Clan?" He knew very well that the existence of the Dragon Clan meant that they had to be extremely careful when taking action, and any negligence could lead to serious consequences.

Changsun Wuya smiled faintly, his tone neither hurried nor slow, yet filled with a profound confidence: "The Dragon Clan is indeed powerful, but the relationship between the Dragon and Phoenix Clan has long been like fire and water. Although Yun Chuling has some connection with the Dragon Clan, he is not of Dragon bloodline. The true descendant of the Dragon Clan is Yun Xiaoling, the heir of the Dragon Clan. The key to this battle lies in speed and precision. We must directly strike at Yun Chuling's weak spots and disrupt his foundation."

After hearing this, Feng Yi showed approval on his face and nodded: "Father-in-law is absolutely right. We don't seek to win a complete victory in this battle, but we must severely damage Yun Chuling to buy more time for the next action." His eyes became firm, as if he could already see the dawn of victory.

The atmosphere in the meeting grew tense. Everyone knew that tonight's decision would determine the future of the Phoenix Clan. This wasn't just a chance for revenge; it was a crucial step in the Phoenix Clan's resurgence on the continent. Everyone realized that this battle would directly impact the Phoenix Clan's future, and the difference between victory and defeat would depend on every decision tonight.

The meeting entered its final discussion phase, and Changsun Wuya's plan gradually became clear. Feng Yi knew that this battle was of great importance, and any mistake could cost the Feng Clan an unbearable price.

"Father-in-law, since we want to attack Yun Chuling's weak spot, what is our primary target?" Feng Jingxuan's eyes were sharp, and his tone was full of intimidation that could not be ignored. "Where should we start to ensure that this attack is effective?"

Changsun Wuya pondered for a moment, then spoke in a low voice, "Although Yun Chuling holds a high position, his weakness lies in his confidants. This is especially true of Xia Wenrui, the General in charge of the Ministry of War. He has always been greedy for personal gain. If we can lure him out, we can overthrow Yun Chuling's foundation in one fell swoop. Xia Wenrui's eastern army may not be powerful, but the supporters behind him can provide us with useful strength."

Feng Yi nodded: "You mean to use Xia Wenrui's ambition to stir up civil unrest and thus weaken Yun Chuling's power?"

Changsun Wuya smiled faintly and said, "That's exactly right. Although Yun Chuling appears powerful on the surface, he's not well-versed in internal affairs. The real power lies with Xia Wenrui. If we can provoke a conflict between him and Yun Chuling, and trigger some private betrayal, Yun Chuling will lose support, and the stability of the regime will be shaken."

"In this way, we can gradually weaken Yun Chuling's power." Feng Jingxuan thought thoughtfully, with wisdom glittering in his eyes. "Grandfather, how did all this happen?"

"The key to all this lies in guidance." Changsun Wuya's tone was full of confidence. "We won't confront Yun Chuling directly. Instead, we'll manipulate public opinion and exploit Xia Wenrui's greed to gradually open up the rift between them. Xia Wenrui has always longed for greater power, and Yun Chuling's harsh policies have gradually reduced his supporters. As long as we create just a little bit of rift, Yun Chuling will begin to lose control."

Feng Yi stared at Zhangsun Wuya deeply, his eyes full of respect: "Father-in-law is indeed well versed in military tactics. We will do our best to cooperate with you."

"Well, time is of the essence in this war." Changsun Wuya nodded and turned to the other members, "Our next actions must be swift and decisive. We must not give Yun Chuling any chance to counterattack."

Feng Yi stood up and glanced at everyone present. "Everyone, now that the decision has been made, we must immediately begin preparations for action. All troop deployments and logistical support must be foolproof."

Changsun Wuya added, "This operation must be kept secret. No information can be leaked to the enemy. It is crucial that we control the situation as much as possible and not allow any accidents to occur."

"I understand." Feng Yi's voice was as firm as iron, and a resolute look appeared on his face.

The conference room was filled with silence, everyone aware of the implications of this action. The future of the Phoenix Clan, and even the entire continent, could undergo drastic changes in the coming days. And all of this would be decided by them.
