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

It took Su Pengcheng a long time to react.

Grand Commandant Ren actually wants to exterminate all the barbarians outside the capital!

They don't even spare anything lower than a wheel?

For a moment, Su Pengcheng didn't know whether he was too kind-hearted or Ren Tianye was too ruthless, but he immediately knelt down and said, "The Su family of the capital is willing to die for General Ren!"

Get up!

Ren Tianye came over and personally helped him up, saying, "Your Su family in the capital is a civil official who studies history, but General Wei Shuo recommended you here. I suppose your Su family must have some special skills in dealing with the barbarians outside the city."

"Why don't you tell me about it?"

Su Pengcheng was momentarily shocked by Ren Tianye's keen insight, but quickly replied, "Grand Commandant, you are right. My Su family does indeed possess some unique abilities. It's not that my Su family has any great power, but..."

"We began planning this matter when Tuoba Xiangtai led his men into the capital. Now, if we can join forces with the Grand Commandant, the task will be much more efficient, and we will be able to annihilate the barbarians outside the city at the lowest possible cost."

Ren Tianye said, "Tell me more about it."

"It's actually simple," Su Pengcheng said. "When Tuoba Xiangtai entered the city, His Majesty ordered the Su family to welcome him as a sign of respect. The Su family resolutely refused, which greatly angered the barbarians."

"But right now, as long as the Grand Commandant drafts an imperial edict for His Majesty, ordering the Su family to offer wine, meat, and provisions to the barbarians on His Majesty's behalf, I believe the barbarians will not suspect anything."

"When the time comes, when my Su family hosts a banquet for the barbarians, we only need to ambush them with five hundred axemen to eliminate all the barbarian leaders."

"General, we can send another large army to wait for the right opportunity to strike."

Ren Tianye smiled slightly. It was the same old routine: eating, drinking, and axemen. In fact, this was his plan all along. Without the Ministry of Revenue's supplies, the barbarian army was already suffering from severe food shortages. As long as he could devise a way to lure them in, he could slaughter all the high-ranking members. The remaining henchmen would only have the chance to die.

He said, "This plan is acceptable to me, Grand Commandant."

Then, he discussed the details with Wei Shuo and Su Pengcheng. It wasn't difficult, since the Su family had already been making preparations in this regard.

An agreement was quickly reached.

Ren Tianye devised a strategy.

The Su family led the charge, drawing 50,000 men from the northern border army and another 50,000 from the imperial guards, all under the command of Wei Shuo. After the Su family's mission was accomplished, Wei Shuo would launch an attack on the barbarian army of 30,000.

At the same time, Shi Hu was dispatched with 20,000 elite troops from the northern frontier to secretly surround the Yu Chen Mansion. As soon as news of the Empress's death came from the Yu Chen Mansion, Tuoba Xiangtai was to be eliminated immediately.

As for him, he took command from the center.

First, send a poop to Takuba Shota!

With this confirmed, Ren Tianye was overjoyed. This time, both Tuoba Xiangtai and Empress Xiao Mingzhao would die!

……

Pei Residence!

"Lord Pei, Lord Pei..."

Chen Liang hurriedly came to him: "This humble official has noticed something strange. The Su family, who have been demoted, have been extremely active these days, purchasing large quantities of grain, wine, and meat in the capital and transporting them out of the city. This humble official feels that something big might be about to happen!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Jingzhi was also startled: "What is Su Pengcheng planning? What's the purpose of buying so much grain, wine, and meat?"

Neither Pei Jingzhi nor Chen Liang were fools. Besides, although Ren Tianye's strategy was effective and might be a bit of a knockout blow to the barbarians who were clueless about Central Plains culture, it was easy for these two to figure out.

"They're about to take action against the main camp outside Kyoto!"

Pei Jingzhi's expression changed drastically: "This is bad! If Ren Tianye attacks the barbarians outside the capital, Tuoba Xiangtai will surely be enraged. Your Majesty... is in danger!"

"Chen Liang..." Pei Jingzhi's tone grew increasingly anxious: "Do you have anyone you can command? Bring him here immediately! I need to go to the Imperial Palace!"

"Even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, we must rescue His Majesty!"

"Lord Pei..." Chen Liang said with a troubled expression, "Those squad leaders really have problems, I... I..."

Immediately, Chen Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will go and mobilize people right away. No matter what, we must bring in manpower. There will definitely be major changes in the next two days. I will definitely rescue His Majesty."

Chen Liang got up to mobilize troops, but Pei Jingzhi never received the soldiers Chen Liang had summoned. Suddenly, he remembered that Chen Liang advocated for the enthronement of a new emperor, and his heart sank.

"Forget it, there's no one else available."

"I, Pei Jingzhi, will storm the Imperial Palace alone!"

"Even if it's a den of dragons and tigers, I, Pei Jingzhi, will definitely rescue His Majesty!"
