Chapter 641 The Yuan family’s plan!

"Why is it like this... Why did it turn out like this..."

Shi Fuchen muttered to himself in a low voice, his voice was weak and hoarse, as if it would die out at any time.

He knew clearly that the failure of this battle was not only due to the strength of Nangong Tianxia and Lei Ze Longqi, but also due to his own internal disputes and conflicts.

He looked at Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu standing beside him, and saw that Yuan Shao had a solemn expression on his face and clenched his teeth, as if trying to suppress the gasp that was about to come out.

And Yuan Shu, despite his panic, inadvertently revealed a hint of secret joy in his eyes.

Shi Fuchen's heart sank, he knew that the Yuan family's ambitions were already obvious, and the failure of this battle might just be the beginning of their usurpation of the throne of King Yan.

However, he didn't have time to think any more at this moment.

Now he must lead the Chiyu Army to evacuate this land of death, otherwise, every one of them will die here.

Shi Fuchen tightly grasped the sword in his hand. He led the remaining Chiyu Army and fought hard against the offensive of the Daqian Army, trying to find a way to escape.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also followed closely beside Shi Fuchen. They also knew that the failure of this battle might be an excellent opportunity for their Yuan family, but the prerequisite was that the two of them could survive.

Otherwise, no matter how good the opportunity is, it will have nothing to do with them. Therefore, at this moment they are more concerned about how to escape from this land of death and save their own lives.

Under the fierce attack of the Lei Ze Dragon Riders, the formation of the Chi Yu Army gradually collapsed.

The soldiers scattered, trying to avoid the lightning spears that were raining down.

However, no matter how they dodged, they could not escape the pursuit of the Lei Ze Dragon Riders.

They were like a group of hunted prey, helplessly waiting for the judgment of fate.

The figure of the Lei Ze Dragon Rider on the battlefield was like a black lightning, constantly shuttling through the formation of the Chi Yu Army. Every charge was accompanied by a roar, smashing the soldiers of the Chi Yu Army to pieces.

However, at this moment, Shi Fuchen was unable to reverse the defeat and could only watch as the Chiyu Army was defeated by the charge of the Lei Ze Dragon Riders.

Finally, after paying a heavy price, the Chiyu Army successfully evacuated the land of death.

He dragged his tired body and returned to the Chiyu Army camp in the rear covered with wounds.

However, for Shi Fuchen, the failure of this war became an eternal pain in his heart.

Inside the Chiyu Army camp, Shi Fuchen sat on the throne, staring blankly into the distance, with an indescribable grief and helplessness welling up in his heart.

Wei Linchao is dead, and he needs to face the current difficulties and the threat from the Yuan family alone.

In addition, the Chiyu Army had just suffered a great defeat and its morale was extremely low. If the Daqian Army took the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack
The series of severe blows that occurred in such a short period of time made him feel powerless.

"My lord, please cheer up!"

"Now that the army has just been defeated, we need you to step up and take charge of the situation, stabilize the morale of the army, and eliminate the threat of Daqian's rebellion-suppressing army!"

Yuan Shao walked up to Shi Fuchen and comforted him in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Shi Fuchen slowly raised his head and glanced at Yuan Shao, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Now, for him, apart from the external threat from the Daqian rebellion-suppressing army, the biggest threat is the Yuan family, which is entrenched in the Chiyu Army and is almost deeply rooted.

At the same time, as night fell, the lights in the Chiyu Army camp were dim, reflecting a solemn and silent scene. Outside the camp, the wind swept away the remaining clouds, as if telling the thrilling battle that took place during the day.

In this turbulent atmosphere, Yuan Shu's figure shuttled through the dim camp roads. His steps were brisk and hurried, and the excitement that was hard to conceal on his face seemed particularly abrupt in this dull night.

Yuan Shu was thinking in his mind that this defeat of the Chiyu Army was not only a setback for Shi Fuchen, but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for their Yuan family.

In this troubled time, the change of power is often accompanied by blood and sacrifice, but now, the door to supreme power is slowly opening to him.

Entering a relatively secluded tent, Yuan Shu quickly lit the candle on the table, and then took out a secret letter from his arms, on which was densely written his analysis of the current situation and the next action plan.

He carefully unfolded the letter paper, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he began to grind ink, preparing to write a crucial secret letter to his father Yuan Feng and uncle Yuan Wei who were far away in the Yuan family base.

"Father, uncle, the defeat of the Chiyu Army this time was truly God's will to help our Yuan family. The death of Wei Linchao undoubtedly removed one of Shi Fuchen's arms, leaving him isolated and helpless, with low morale."

"This is a God-given opportunity. We must strike while the iron is hot and not miss it."

Yuan Shu muttered to himself as he wrote, his pen tip jumping rapidly on the paper, and every word revealed the extremely strong ambition in his heart.

"I propose that we should immediately mobilize our family forces and take advantage of the fact that the Chiyu Army has suffered a great defeat and suffered heavy losses to place our Yuan family's trusted aides in all levels of the Chiyu Army, from the lowest-level soldiers to the highest-level generals. We must ensure that they are everywhere and know everything."

"Only in this way can we gradually infiltrate and eventually completely control this army. Although Shi Fuchen has the title of King of Fire, he no longer has real power. When the time is right, I can replace him and achieve the hegemony of my Yuan family."

After Yuan Shu finished writing the last stroke, he examined the secret letter with satisfaction, as if he had foreseen the future glory.

He carefully folded the letter paper, put it into a special bamboo tube, and sealed it with wax to ensure the safety of the information.

"Send this letter to the Yuan family's headquarters as soon as possible, and make sure to hand it over to my father and uncle personally. There must be no mistakes."

Then he gently called over a trusted person and whispered instructions.

The confidant took the order and left, while Yuan Shu sat at the desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, with an indescribable excitement in his heart.

If this move is successful, the Yuan family will no longer be the behind-the-scenes family dependent on Prince Yan's Palace, but will truly become the new ruler of the land of Yanzhou.

Thus, they were completely involved in the great struggle in this chaotic world.

As for after taking over the magpie's nest, he will have to face the threat of the Daqian Dynasty alone.

This is not a problem for these aristocratic families.

Today, the Daqian Dynasty is in pieces, and only Qianzhou and some surrounding areas are left in the hands of the Daqian court.

As long as the Yuan family takes over Yanzhou and directly expresses their willingness to follow the orthodoxy of the Daqian Dynasty, the new emperor will naturally not fight to the death with the Yuan family in Yanzhou.

After all, the Daqian army that is suppressing the rebellion now looks like they are determined to kill King Yan at all costs. The main reason is that King Yan and his men are one of the Daqian kings of different surnames and have been favored by the emperor for generations, yet they dared to take the lead in launching a rebellion.

In this situation, whether for the sake of justice or the orthodoxy of the Daqian court, Daqian must behead the lineage of King Yan to shock the world.

However, there is still possibility of reconciliation between the Yuan family and King Yan.

After all, the Daqian Dynasty is now in a state of disarray. These hundreds of thousands of troops are a vital force for the now half-crippled Daqian court.
