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

Ren Tianye was quite satisfied with the ambitious look on these people's faces.

He said, "Very good!"

"This opportunity is hard-won, so we must make sure we are fully prepared and not be negligent in the slightest."

"The northern frontier has not yet been conquered. Who is willing to lead an army to take the entire northern frontier for this general?"

"Pfft!"

Zhang Shi immediately knelt on one knee: "General, this humble general is willing to lead the troops there and guarantees to unify the northern frontier within three months!"

Ren Tianye glanced at Zhang Shi and knew what he was thinking; he simply wanted to gain some credit.

After all, among the generals who followed Ren Tianye in his uprising, he, Sun Xiang, and Wang Ming were the three who had the closest relationship with Ren Tianye.

But right now, Sun Xiang has made great contributions in defending Yunji City.

Wang Ming's contributions were ridiculously great!

He's the one who's pathetic!

The only thing they can boast about is the battle between the left and right peaks.

The problem is, it was Ren Tianye who personally supervised the battle.

No matter how hard you try, the credit won't go to him.

They couldn't wait to risk their lives and claim a huge credit.

but……

Ren Tianye didn't intend to give it to him.

Although he did not completely occupy the Northern Frontier, most of the soldiers capable of fighting there had already surrendered to him, and he also had a massive amount of food and supplies left by Ye Fan. It could be said that the Northern Frontier was now just an empty shell.

As long as he sends troops from Yunji City, he can quickly wipe out the area.

What kind of achievement is this?

Ren Tianye still wanted to offer Zhang Shi something even greater, saying, "Forget about the Northern Frontier. However, I have an even bigger opportunity, but it requires risking your life. I wonder if you dare?"

What is there that Zhang Shi wouldn't dare to do now?

He immediately replied, "General, please give the order. Even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, I will not flinch."

"Good!" Ren Tianye stood up and said, "The barbarian tribe is in turmoil. Tuoba Ashina and the eldest prince are dead and wiped out. Tuoba Xiangtai has also taken away the last remaining barbarian soldiers. Without a doubt, the grasslands are now empty."

"This general intends to send an army to sweep across the grasslands."

"Do you dare to go?"

"I dare!" Zhang Shi replied immediately.

"I am only giving you five thousand light cavalry, each carrying fifteen days' worth of rations. There will be no further supplies or support. Do you dare to go?"

Zhang Shi was startled and immediately understood Ren Tianye's meaning.

The most important thing for the army right now is to march south and seize the world, so the main force must be kept. However, the situation with the barbarians is another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, and it would be a pity not to fight them.

So, let him go!

Five thousand men, fifteen days' worth of dry rations!

That's it!

That means that if he takes people to the barbarian grasslands, he can do whatever he wants and completely disregard the military regulations set by Ren Tianye!

It was a massacre!

It's also possible they were surrounded and attacked!

Anyway, it was a great achievement!

We lost, we have nothing left!

Zhang Shi hesitated for a moment, but then gritted his teeth and said, "General, I am willing to go!"

"Alright!" Ren Tianye helped him up and whispered, "Once we reach the grasslands, I'll allow you to act as you see fit, with only one request: slaughter your way through the barbarians!"

"Yes, General!"

"Alright, go and prepare. I'll arrange everything for you in the next couple of days. Get ready to head north!"

After dismissing Zhang Shi, Ren Tianye issued two more military orders, one to Sun Xiang and the other to Shi Hu.

The plan was to have each of the two men lead 50,000 men from two different directions to sweep across the northern frontier and subdue it as quickly as possible.

With the northern frontier as a strong rear base, if Zhang Shiru can succeed and defeat the barbarians so much that they dare not show their faces, he will have a very stable rear base.

It can then contend for supremacy over the world.

We can retreat and dominate the northern frontier!

That way, you can remain invincible forever!

……

Kyoto, the Imperial Palace!

Empress Xiao Mingzhao sat on the dragon throne, her stunningly beautiful face even more radiant against the backdrop of her bright yellow dragon robe. When she received a letter hurriedly delivered by a eunuch, her eyes sparkled with delight.

In front of all the ministers, he couldn't wait to open the letter. After reading it quickly, he read it carefully again, his face turning even redder.

She then raised her head.

The ministers below couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Judging from the situation these past few days, it is clear that Empress Xiao Mingzhao has received another letter from the third prince of the barbarian tribe, Tuoba Xiangtai.

This marriage, which many ministers found absurd and bizarre, is gradually becoming a reality.

Where is Lu Qing?

Xiao Mingzhao's voice rang out.

"Your subject is here!"

Lu Qing stepped forward.

This general of the Duke of Fuguo's mansion, who was ranked as a general of the guard and also served as the commander of the vanguard, bowed slightly, his face stern, and he exuded a bit of domineering aura.

Xiao Mingzhao nodded at him with satisfaction.

He immediately appointed him, saying, "Lu Qing is commendable for his loyalty and bravery. He has long held military power and is a great help to me. I hereby appoint Lu Qing as General of the Cavalry, in charge of all guards inside and outside the capital."

Upon hearing that he was to be promoted, Lu Qing was about to agree when Guanglu Xun jumped out from the crowd: "Your Majesty, you mustn't!"

"Although Lu Qing has some ability in the army, he is too arrogant. He dared to attack Yunji City without orders, and even suffered heavy losses outside Yunji City..."

Before Guanglu Xun could finish his impeachment, Lu Qing angrily retorted, "Nonsense! How could this general have suffered heavy losses outside Yunji City?"

"What do you mean there isn't? Weren't the equipment of those 70,000 Imperial Guards lost outside Yunji City?"

Lu Qing snorted coldly: "That wasn't lost. It was given to Ren Tianye after I promised him it."

"How could I, a general, break my promise in my entire life?!"

Guanglu Xun was furious: "You might as well have suffered heavy losses!"

"You led the unarmored and unhorsed Imperial Guards south to quell the rebellion, but you were utterly defeated by the rebels and suffered a series of defeats. Of the 70,000 elite troops of my Great Yu, you have reduced them to less than 20,000."

"How could someone like you be qualified to be a General of the Cavalry?!"

These words were like a knife, piercing Lu Qing's heart.

He immediately retorted angrily, "That's because my soldiers lack armor and horses. If they had armor and horses, what would a mere rebel army be?"

"If I want them dead by midnight, they will not live past dawn!"

Guanglu Xun immediately asked, "Then what about your soldiers, armor, and horses?"

Lu Qing: "..."

Just as Guangluxun was about to intensify his attack, Xiao Mingzhao spoke up: "Alright, my mind is made up on this matter, my beloved ministers need not say more."

She paused, then looked at Lu Qing and said, "Minister Lu, I know that your elder brother has passed away from a cold, and your sister-in-law is all alone. I feel very sorry for her."

"Now I order you to take good care of him."

"Are you willing?"

Lu Qing's body trembled, his face filled with disbelief. He then knelt down with a thud and cried out, "Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, I will certainly take good care of Ruyue."

"Your Majesty, rest assured!"

Xiao Mingzhao nodded.

As the wife of the Duke of Fuguo, Ruyue was allowed to enter the palace frequently. Over time, she learned about the affair between Ruyue and Lu Qing.

This left her with a great deal of regret.

Why can't lovers in this world become a couple?

This time, the opportunity is truly rare.

She naturally wanted to make this a happy occasion.

This will also give Lu Qing a chance to be even more loyal!

To clear away the obstacles in the court and better welcome her Tuoba Prince!
