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

"It really is a military tally!"

Ren Tianye held the military tally, overjoyed.

This military tally is made of black iron. The front has eight large gilded characters that read "Chifeng Subordinate - Mountain and River Guardian", while the back is engraved with "Eight Hundred Garrison Characters" and the Chifeng flame emblem.

That's exactly what he wanted.

With this military tally, these eight hundred men could nominally be under his command.

He can then start an uprising!

"Ren Tianye, the military tally has been given to you!"

Lying on the ground with two knives stuck in his body, Zhang Wei was still alive, barely breathing as he said, "Can you... release me and my wife now?"

"I promise you, if you release me and my wife, you can do whatever you want with this military tally!"

"I will absolutely not interfere!"

Ren Tianye drew his soldier's sword and beheaded Zhang Wei with a single stroke.

He sneered, "Foolish! I'll kill you, and I'll take care of the military seal as well!"

Ren Tianye looked outside: "Follow me to see the guerrilla generals!"

"Yes, General!"

The group followed Ren Tianye back in a grand procession.

Unlike when they arrived, when they were still uneasy, they are now at ease. With the military tally in hand, they can live for a few more days, and their spirits have lifted.

They soon arrived at the general's camp, but the guerrilla generals had already moved their discussion to another location.

They went together to Sun Xiang's camp.

After Ren Tianye found out the details, he led his men straight in.

"Amano, where have you been? Why are you only arriving now?"

"But you've come at the perfect time!"

Sun Xiang was overjoyed when he saw Ren Tianye.

"General Zhang is unreliable. The brothers are discussing what to do next."

"However, we can't come up with a good strategy right away. You're usually the most decisive person, and everyone respects you, so you decide what to do next!"

As soon as Sun Xiang spoke, several guerrilla generals echoed his sentiments.

"Yes, yes, yes, Amano, you're the most talented, and the brothers respect you the most. So, what do you suggest we do next?"

"Amano, tell me quickly, what should we do? We can't just sit here and wait to die, otherwise we'll definitely die!"

"Amano, the lives of our brothers depend on your ideas. Don't disappear again this time."

……

Ren Tianye nodded, but instead of immediately revealing his thoughts, he asked, "Brothers, what was the conclusion of your discussion?"

"Sigh, there's been no result!" Sun Xiang sighed. "Old Zhang's idea is for us to join forces with other units and submit a petition together."

"Old Liu means we should find someone to rely on."

"Old Wang means that if all else fails, we should plead with His Majesty..."

"Anyway, there are all sorts of opinions, and no one can convince anyone else."

Ren Tianye nodded again, having gained a full understanding of everyone's thoughts, and felt more confident before speaking.

He slowly said, "The listeners all want to compromise, but have you ever considered when this compromise will end?"

"Will I be at the mercy of others my whole life?"

"Aren't you worried about being punished after joining forces with other armies to pressure the Empress? Aren't you worried about being suppressed by government troops every day as a bandit? Don't you consider whether others are genuinely welcoming you or if it's a trap?"

"As for pleading with the Empress, that's even more inadvisable."

"Isn't that equivalent to handing your head to the Empress and letting her chop it off with a single stroke?"

"At that time, we were the fish on the chopping block, and people were the butchers."

"Even if everyone survives, they will live in constant fear and anxiety for the rest of their lives."

"Gentlemen, are you willing to accept this outcome?"

Ren Tianye's voice was not loud, but every word struck hard in everyone's hearts, silencing the entire tent.

The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that Ren Tianye made sense.

Their situation was already difficult enough; making that choice would likely make it even harder.

Rather than that, it's better to just obediently let yourself be fleeced!

They entrusted their lives and deaths entirely to the Empress's calculations.

"Damn it, if all else fails, we might as well surrender to the barbarians. I refuse to believe that in this vast world, there isn't a place for eight hundred of us to go!"

Old Liu, with his fiery temper, suddenly blurted out this remark without thinking.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he immediately regretted them.

Barbarians...

They had fought with the barbarians for so many years, and the two sides were sworn enemies. The barbarians never treated the Yu people as human beings and often treated them as two-legged sheep.

Surrender to the barbarians?

Whether or not one can preserve their rights is a question that one cannot answer in their own mind, and will leave behind a legacy of infamy.

Fortunately, all the guerrilla generals knew Liu's temper and didn't take it to heart, but they all fell into deep thought.

Looking around, there was still no way out!

Sun Xiang reacted the fastest, saying, "Tianye, since you've said that, you must have a plan in mind. Just tell us, and we'll follow you."

This reminder roused the guerrilla generals: "Amano, do you have a good idea? Tell me quickly, don't keep your brother waiting."

"Amano, everyone trusts you. Whatever you say, we'll do it!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ren Tianye stopped his preamble and said directly, "Rather than sit and wait to die, let's gamble on a fortune!"

"This empire has been ruled by the Great Yu for eight hundred years."

"Now, it's time for a change of personnel!"
