The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Wang Ming never expected that occupying Shanhe City was already a great achievement, but he would actually have barbarians to kill!

How could we possibly let it go?

He had more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, most of whom were equipped with bows and arrows.

In addition, Shanhe City was originally the most powerful city in the northern frontier, and it was equipped with too much defensive equipment.

If we see barbarians calling for the city gate, shouldn't we teach them a lesson?

As a result, all sorts of things crashed down on Shanhe City.

The most precious gold juice was also used generously.

When Tuoba Ashina and the eldest prince saw this, their hearts sank to the bottom of the lake, feeling utterly disheartened.

"Shanhe City has fallen?"

"That good-for-nothing Tuoba Xiangtai! How long has it been, and Shanhe City has already fallen! What are we barbarians supposed to do now?"

Both Tuoba Ashina and the eldest prince were filled with despair.

With Shanhe City blocking their way in front and a large army pursuing them from behind, they were trapped.

There's no way to go to heaven, and no way to go to hell!

"Report!"

A light cavalryman quickly arrived: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince has already encamped in the nearby hunting village and set up defenses. Please proceed immediately!"

Hunting Village!

This sounds like a village.

It is a village with absolutely no natural defenses.

Moreover, Tuoba Ashina knew that, after all, small groups of barbarian troops often bypassed the main roads to invade the northern frontier, and had a considerable understanding of the terrain of the northern frontier that was close to their grasslands.

How could such a small village possibly hold off a large army for them?

Even if the defenses are extremely tight, so what?

The key is……

Tuoba Xiangtai, how dare you abandon Shanhe City and run to that hunting village?

Tuoba Ashina was utterly devastated, but with no other options at the moment, he immediately said, "Lead the way, lead the way!"

The group turned around and immediately headed quickly towards the hunting village.

At this moment, Ren Tianye and his men also arrived at the foot of Shanhe City, trampling over the corpses of the barbarians scattered on the ground, their eyes fixed on the direction in which the barbarians had left.

"General, I will go and retrieve Tuoba Ashina's head right away."

Zhang Shi, who rushed to the side, immediately volunteered.

Throughout the pursuit, he was more ruthless than anyone else, completely transforming into a killing god. Soon, the heads of the barbarians were all hanging on his head, as if he wanted to harvest all the barbarian heads.

This opportunity is truly hard to come by.

If I don't perform exceptionally well, I'll not only have to kneel down and greet Wang Ming when I get back, but I'll also be ridiculed by guerrilla generals like Sun Xiang.

Both of you went out on the same mission, but Wang Ming, a deputy general who had never led troops before, repeatedly made great contributions. You, on the other hand, followed the general and served as his main vanguard, yet you haven't achieved anything!

Ren Tianye did not agree.

Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Send down the order to cease pursuit, clean up the battlefield, and retreat into Shanhe City!"

"General, no..." Zhang Shi cried out anxiously; he hadn't killed enough yet.

"Execute the command!"

"Yes, yes, General!" Zhang Shi was quite unwilling, but he dared not disobey military orders, especially the General's orders, so he had no choice but to sound the retreat.

Ren Tianye also entered Shanhe City.

Now that Shanhe City is under his control, and Yunji City is also a strategic stronghold, it can be said that the barbarian's escape route has been completely cut off.

Right now, they're like pawns who've crossed the river!

You can only move forward, you can't go back!

Standing on the city wall of Shanhe City, Ren Tianye gazed southward.

His gaze seemed to have pierced through the mountains and reached the magnificent capital city, a place that had been too peaceful for too long, nurturing an emperor like Empress Xiao Mingzhao.

Xiao Mingzhao once again led the way in raising this absurd and outrageous Great Yu Dynasty!

The corrupt and decadent Great Yu Dynasty!

Eight hundred years have passed; it's time for it to collapse with a roar.

Let the barbarians handle this blow!

Xiao Mingzhao has sown the seeds, and she must bear the fruits of her own actions!

……

"Why are there two more mountains?"

As Tuoba Ashina and his party rushed to the front of the hunting village, their expressions changed drastically. The hunting village was surrounded by mountains, making it rugged and difficult to traverse. Not only was the location quite treacherous, but there were also two mountains at the entrance of the village.

The experiences at Zuofeng and Youfeng are still vivid in my mind.

He couldn't help but be alarmed.

"Your Majesty, this is an ambush set up by the Third Prince to prevent anyone from pursuing us."

"Oh, that's good then." Tuoba Ashina breathed a sigh of relief, but then his anger flared up again.

The fact that they were able to set up an ambush in this small hunting village proves that they have a strategy, so how come they couldn't defend Shanhe City?

Shanhe City, a place so easy to defend and difficult to attack, left 20,000 men for Tuoba Xiangtai!

That's 20,000 people!

Not 20,000 pigs!

Besides, even if there are 20,000 pigs, they shouldn't be taken away so easily!

Tuoba Ashina's heart was bleeding.

The eldest prince, who was covered in dust and dirt, was equally furious and added fuel to the fire, saying, "Father, the third prince has really gone too far."

"They actually lost Shanhe City."

"Such a heinous crime must not be let off lightly."

"They must be severely punished."

"Otherwise, how can we win the hearts of our soldiers, how can we win the hearts of our heroes on the grasslands?"

Tuoba Ashina remained silent, his face ashen.

The attitude speaks for itself.

Following the cavalryman, and with a dozen or so wounded guards, they strode into the hunting village and saw the large tent.

He strode in, and as soon as he lifted the curtain, he started cursing, "Third brother, get over here!"

"What were my instructions to you when I left?"

"You piece of trash, a coward who clings to life and fears death, you even dared to lose Shanhe City?"

The eldest prince added fuel to the fire, angrily saying, "Our grasslands never support useless people. You are a prince, yet such behavior deserves to be executed!"

After throwing a tantrum, the two realized that there was no sign of the Third Prince Tuoba Xiangtai in the tent, and were taken aback.

Then we saw that the tent curtain had been lifted again.

The Third Prince, Tuoba Xiangtai, dressed in plain white robes, appeared gracefully like a refined gentleman in a turbid world.

He still wore his usual calm smile, unperturbed by praise or criticism, and in his hand, like a man from the Central Plains, he held a folding fan, revealing a painting or calligraphy on it as it opened and closed slightly.

The painting depicts a cold moon over the border, with ancient pines leaning horizontally, their branches supporting a half-moon. In the distance, beacon towers can be faintly seen, stretching out beyond the city walls.

The accompanying text reads: "Holding a fan to calm the storm, I share mountains and rivers with you!"

After entering, he did not greet Tuoba Ashina or the eldest prince, but went straight to the innermost part of the tent, where a tiger-shaped chair was already placed.

He sat down leisurely.

"Father, elder brother, you've finally arrived."

Shota Takuba's voice remained gentle: "I've been waiting for you all for so long!"

Tuoba Ashina and the eldest prince immediately fell silent, their hearts skipping a beat.

I sensed that something was wrong.

It wasn't just Takuba Shota's posture, but also the tiger chair he was sitting on.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the tiger chair in the Zhenbei General's Mansion in Shanhe City, the same tiger chair that Lin Yi, the former commander of the Chifeng Army, once sat on.

"Third brother..."

Tuoba Ashina said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?"

"It's nothing," Tuoba Xiangtai said casually, fanning himself with his folding fan. "I just wanted to invite Father and my elder brother..."

"Return to heaven!"
