The Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty was naturally paying close attention to the rapidly rising Rising Sun Empire, especially to Ouyang Qingtian, the Dragon Slayer.
In fact, it wasn't just the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty. The surrounding nations felt the same. They were all extremely wary of the new empire and were subtly beginning to form an alliance.
They all found common ground in obstructing the Rising Sun Empire's unification.
When the Old Emperor, Yang Yu, had his ministers propose a joint blockade on the trade of grain, weapons, and other resources, the other nations naturally agreed.
When facing a threat, all the powers shared the same stance.
Suppress the rise of new powers and absorb the resources left by old ones.
If they even sensed a potential new power on the rise, they would use various methods to constrain it. This was a common tactic for all major powers.

Yang Yu nodded after listening.
