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

Now that the objective has been set, it's time to develop a detailed battle plan.

But as soon as the discussion began, all the generals looked worried.

Although Yunji City was much simpler than Shanhe City, the most powerful city in the northern frontier, it was still incredibly difficult for these eight hundred people.

Yunji City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the city itself is built on the mountainside, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If we were to attack, even if there were 80,000 of them, let alone only 800, we would not be able to gain any advantage.

and……

Zhan Shubai, the garrison commander of Yunji City, is not someone to be trifled with.

Since taking office, this guy has been working diligently and tirelessly, either building city walls or strengthening soldier training, making Yunji City even more fortified since it was already difficult to attack.

There are also ample supplies in the city.

How could they possibly take down such a well-defended city with its shrewd general and abundant military supplies with only eight hundred men?

Everyone frowned in thought, but suddenly, someone thought of something and immediately gave a wink to the person next to them. The person immediately understood and pretended to realize something.

So, apart from Ren Tianye, the camp became a different scene altogether. Everyone winked at each other, their faces full of teasing, as if they were gossiping.

Ren Tianye noticed the scene and couldn't help but ask, "What's with those expressions?"

"What important discovery was made?"

Everyone remained silent until Sun Xiang, who was closest to Ren Tianye in private, spoke first: "Um, General, the garrison commander is Zhan Shubai."

"What's wrong with Zhan Shubai?" Ren Tianye asked, his understanding of the person naturally coming to mind.

He was directly dispatched by the imperial court.

Known for his hard work and dedication among the northern border troops, he is also said to be quite capable, managing Yunji City in an orderly manner.

He has the appearance of a capable general.

So, the generals were afraid?

But judging from his expression, he doesn't seem afraid!

He had a completely detached, gossipy face!

Slightly annoyed, he frowned and said, "What exactly happened? Just say it, don't beat around the bush."

"General, it's Zhan Shubai!"

Sun Xiang then gave another seemingly random reminder.

This left Ren Tianye even more bewildered.

It's Zhan Shubai, so what happened?

Did he sleep with the Empress Dowager?

Why do you all have that expression?

He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but just as he was about to ask a question, Ren Tianye suddenly jolted awake.

He realized what was happening!

This exhibition features Shu Bai...

She is one of Empress Xiao Mingzhao's stand-ins!

Grass!

I completely forgot about that.

Moreover... the identity that the original body was wearing was also one of the Empress's stand-ins, but it didn't please the Empress, so it was transferred to this harsh border region, and the Empress didn't speak up for the original body.

and so……

"In the minds of these generals, I must attack Yunji City first, not only because Yunji City is the most suitable place to settle down and make a living..."

"Is it because I want to get revenge on Zhan Shubai?"

"Do they think this is a battle between me and Zhan Shubai over who gets to be his body double?"

At that moment, Ren Tianye felt like a million curses were stampeding through his mind. It was as if he had finally conquered the capital, only to have a woman jump out and excitedly say, "Brother Ren, I love that you helped me conquer the world!"

Ren Tianye instantly lost his appetite.

What he wants is the world, what does it have to do with the Empress?

The Empress's substitute literature only disgusts him.

Even someone as calm and rational as him instinctively wanted to explain, but thankfully he held back in the end.

Talk is cheap; actions speak louder than words.

It was precisely because of his decisive and straightforward actions that these generals, despite their burning desire for gossip, restrained themselves and dared not speak recklessly in front of him.

Then let these generals know with even greater actions that he, Ren Tianye, has nothing to do with the love-obsessed people in this female-oriented world!

Not even a tiny bit!

His expression gradually turned serious, and he said coldly, "I don't care whether he's Zhan Shubai or Zhan Shuqian, all I know is that he's the garrison commander of Yunji City, and Yunji City is something we must have!"

"If he stands in our way, we'll definitely take him down!"

With a cold and stern tone, the generals all abandoned their spectator's mood and continued to seriously analyze how to take Yunji City.

Given the current situation, a direct attack is certainly unrealistic; we can only resort to strategy.

But what kind of plan should be used?

Ren Tianye pondered, realizing that they had two advantages in front of them.

The first point is that no one knows they are planning a rebellion yet, so they can disguise their identities and have a good chance to catch people off guard.

The second point is that the news of the massacre of 70,000 Red Beacon Army soldiers was enough to shock the world, so this point could be used to carry out some operations.

Suddenly, Ren Tianye's eyes lit up.

He has a solution.

"Wang Ming!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

Wang Ming, having finished his business, strode into the tent.

"I'm giving you a task."

"Go and gather one hundred brothers and two hundred warhorses and quickly go to the place where I killed that barbarian boy. There are Aunt Xiao's carriage and some scattered palace items there. Go and retrieve them."

"Remember, you have to be as fast as possible."

"Get it at all costs and as quickly as possible."

"yes!"

Deputy General Wang Ming accepted the order and left.

Ren Tianye then asked the crowd, "Do any of you know if there's anyone in the army capable of forging imperial edicts?"

This was originally just a tentative question, but it yielded an unexpected answer: "For a time, the lady had a passion for carving, and General Zhang specially invited one to work in the army."

"Oh?" Ren Tianye was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected that Su Jin, that spendthrift woman, would help him by accident. He said, "Find this person and have him forge an imperial edict for me."

"By the way, I remember Su Jin's family is from Yunji City, right? Perfect, we can have her tell us about the situation in Yunji City to fill in the gaps in our information!"

After a pause, Ren Tianye's expression turned solemn: "Gentlemen, I have already devised a plan. I will disguise myself as a messenger of the imperial edict and trick the gates of Yunji City into opening."

"You should lie in ambush from behind under cover of darkness."

"When I sound the whistle, all of you charge in together! We'll storm the city gates and engage Yunji City in street fighting, a bloody battle, a fight to the death!"

Everyone readily agreed.

"These preparations will take some time. Once they are complete, we can head straight for Yunji City. In the next two days, you must boost morale and strictly control any unruly behavior, in preparation for taking Yunji City!"

The generals readily accepted the order and departed.

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed, and everything is ready.

An army of eight hundred men, fully assembled.

Ready to depart.

The generals inside the tent couldn't help but feel extremely nervous.

When it really comes to this kind of rebellion, no matter how grand the words or how fearless the person was before, they can't help but break out in a sweat.

After all, once you take that step, there's no turning back.

and……

Only eight hundred people!

They're after a colossal city like Cloud Ridge City!

The psychological pressure is too great!

"How about I have my fortune told for this trip?"

Guerrilla General Zhang immediately stood up, took out two tortoise shells from his person, and threw them on the ground. As the two tortoise shells flipped, they revealed a divination symbol.

He was about to explain immediately.

But a sudden kick sent him staggering.

"What kind of divination?"

"If the divination result is unfavorable, does that mean we shouldn't perform the ritual?"

"Eight hundred of us can still annihilate Yunji City!"

Sun Xiang roared angrily.

Old Zhang, who had fallen to the ground, looked quite annoyed.

My inner voice was screaming wildly.

"Baoji's!"

"How could I not know whether the divination I performed was auspicious or inauspicious?"

"Absolutely guaranteed!"

"Damn it... the first merit is gone just like that!"
