I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head-Novel2



Only now did Wei Wuya truly understand how troublesome it was to manage a huge empire. All his previous preparations seemed like a joke.

As for the people he had brought with him before—those few aides and people who had secretly submitted to him—it was already not bad for them to manage a city.

As for the dozens of cities, they had only surrendered on the surface. Even the garrison was the original batch of people. They surrendered because they were scared of Chu Yunfan.

The Imperial Court's army was far away, but Chu Yunfan was close at hand. It wasn't that there weren't any cities that tried to resist, but after Chu Yunfan killed thousands of soldiers with a single sword strike, they immediately surrendered in fear.

The other cities also followed suit and were watching from afar. However, those cities had only surrendered on the surface. Who knew how much information they had secretly sent to the north?

Even though Wei Wuya knew this, he had no choice. There were not many people who cared about it. Even the managers of the various cities were the original nobles. The only gain was that his territory seemed to have expanded, and he could recruit troops from various cities. If they wanted to recruit hundreds of thousands of troops from Conglong alone, they were thinking too much.

And this was only a small part of the problem. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers were simply a motley crew. They had only been recruited for less than half a month. Let alone fighting against the wind, it was probably not even easy to say if they would win. If there was even the slightest bit of something wrong with the situation, they would probably immediately collapse.

If they were to rely on this kind of army to go to the battlefield, they probably wouldn't even be able to scare people.

The Imperial Court's one million soldiers were truly elites, and the one hundred thousand Imperial Soldiers were the elites of the elites.

On their side, even the 100,000 people in Wei Wuya's original team were only second-line guards. Otherwise, he could not have so easily recruited them.

At first, they thought that they were helping Wei Wuya fight for the throne. Who would have thought that he would raise an army to rebel? If it weren't for Chu Yunfan's battle achievements, they would probably mutiny on the spot.

All in all, it was a mess. The only thing that could be said to be in control was Conglong. With Chu Yaowei, a local tyrant, and the Chu clan's connections in Conglong, they quickly took control of the city. They weren't like the other cities that openly agreed but secretly disobeyed.

Of course, the main reason was that Chu Yunfan was in Conglong. The nobles in Conglong didn't dare to act rashly. They didn't even dare to say anything and obediently cooperated.

However, Wei Wuya knew that the reason why they were so willing to cooperate was not only because of Chu Yunfan's deterrence, but also because Wei Wuya himself was a prince of Great Wei. He was not a peasant who rebelled. If Wei Wuya ascended the throne, he would inherit the noble system of Great Wei.

They were nobles, so they didn't suffer too much loss. At most, they would be loyal to another emperor.

It could be said that Wei Wuya was in a terrible state. What was even more troublesome was that the spies of the Agency of Secrets were everywhere. In half a month, he had suffered at least dozens of assassinations. His father seemed to have made up his mind to kill him and end this rebellion.

There were currently two core figures in the revellion. One was Chu Yunfan, and the other was Wei Wuya. Assassinating Chu Yunfan was just a thought. Even if they wanted to do it, the agency could not find anyone who could do it.action

With his cultivation, ordinary assassins could not even get close to him.

As soon as they appeared, Chu Yunfan would immediately notice them.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan was fine, but Wei Wuya was in trouble. In the end, he moved into Marquis Zhongxin's residence. With Chu Yunfan in charge, no one would dare to be impudent.

"Master Chu, there are many people secretly communicating with the north. If we wait until the rebel army arrives, I reckon that we won't even need to fight." Wei Wuya bitterly smiled.

"I know that is your last resort. This is your limit." Chu Yunfan nodded seriously.

Wei Wuya didn't even need to tell him about these things. He naturally knew that the people he had recruited were not just a motley crew, but many of them had different aspirations. If they were to directly fight, it would immediately lead to a situation of complete collapse.

As long as the situation was slightly unfavorable, these dozens of cities that had already surrendered would immediately betray them.

Thus, Chu Yunfan couldn't be bothered and didn't allow Wei Wuya to send people to manage those cities. What was the use of that? Those people who were sent would probably be immediately killed when the situation was unfavorable.

The reason why he had Wei Wuya conquer the several dozen cities in the south was to recruit new soldiers. At the very least, he had to make himself look presentable in order to attract the attention of the Imperial Court. He didn't want to send 120,000 soldiers to their deaths.

From then on, the world would be settled in one battle.

"Don't worry, those are just a motley crew. They are just tools I use to attract the attention of the Imperial Court. Otherwise, would the Imperial Court pay attention to just those few people? How long would they continue to send people to encircle and suppress them?" Chu Yunfan said as he stood up.

He wasn't interested in such tactics, although from the perspective of rebellion, this kind of tactics was the best opportunity to develop.

"Besides, you know Jinzhanghan in the outer realms. They are stronger than Great Wei. If we drag this out for too long and they discover us, who will stop them when millions of iron hooves march south?" Chu Yunfan said lightly.

Wei Wuya couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought of the outcome. Even if Jinzhanghan didn't send all of its soldiers south, two to three million would be a disaster for Great Wei.

"Thus, settling the world in one battle is the least harmful method to Great Wei," Chu Yunfan said.

He had been in Great Wei for almost two years. He didn't want the kingdom to be destroyed, but he didn't want to waste any more time here. At the same time, he also wanted to leave this place as soon as possible to find Tang Siyu.

"I understand, but I'm afraid that the Imperial Court will seek help from the Monster Subduers' sect master, Yun Huang." Wei Wuya looked at Chu Yunfan as if he wanted to see his reaction.

Chu Yunfan's expression did not change. He just said, "No matter what Yun Huang is like, so what if he appears? As long as he doesn't surpass the Void Core Stage, I have the confidence to defeat him. I'm not afraid even if he joins forces with Ye Fei."

Hearing Chu Yunfan's words, Wei Wuya heaved a sigh of relief.

"Friend, since you're here, why don't you show yourself?" Chu Yunfan suddenly said.
