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

Although Lu Chaosheng thought this way, his sense of responsibility, especially his responsibility to this land, forced him to cheer up.

They followed Vice General Chen Song towards the military camp.

Upon arriving at the commander's tent, Marquis Jingyi, Pei Wugou, personally rose to greet him, took his hand, and pulled him inside, smiling, "General Lu, have you rested well these past few days?"

"I specifically let you rest before the big battle so that you can recuperate and give full play to your strength in the upcoming battle with Ren Tianye."

"Have you rested enough now?"

"You seem to be in good spirits?"

Lu Chaosheng actually wanted to reply with "Not good," but he swallowed the words back and bowed, saying, "Your Excellency, I am fine."

"Very well, then join the ranks. I have something big to do!"

Pei Wugou sat on the tiger-shaped chair, his face cold and stern. His gold-plated and jade-inlaid scale armor gleamed, and his exquisite attire added a touch of beautiful romance to the otherwise somber military camp.

However, Pei Wugou's words were as sharp as swords and spears: "I already know about the Iron Gate Pass."

"Hmph, Iron Gate Pass was originally the vital entrance to our Jiangbei fortress complex, yet its garrison commander, instead of serving Yunjing, led his men to surrender to that traitor Ren Tianye. His crimes are truly heinous and deserve to be punished!"

"After I defeat Ren Tianye, I will make those people wish they were dead!"

After uttering these harsh words, Pei Wugou continued, "What pains me even more is that, apart from Iron Gate Pass, I have discovered that even in Zhenjiang City, and even in the water fortresses under its jurisdiction such as Langyan Fort, Suojiang Dock, Hengjiang Village, and Linjiang Ferry, there is a large-scale phenomenon of fearing the enemy, being afraid of the enemy, and even surrendering to the enemy!"

"Many people are secretly discussing surrendering to Ren Tianye."

"There are even madmen who want to kidnap me and hand me over to Ren Tianye as a pledge of allegiance!"

"It really is..."

"Arrogant!"

Pei Wugou abruptly stood up, his eyes sharp as knives: "If this situation isn't addressed, before Ren Tianye's army even arrives, this entire Jiangbei fortress complex will be sent away!"

"At that time, this Jiangbei fortress complex will not only be a mere formality, but I, the Marquis, will also become a laughingstock!"

"Therefore..."

"Today, I intend to use ruthless methods to clean up this mess... Generals, are you willing to follow me and wipe out those treacherous traitors?"

Since Pei Wugou had spoken so eloquently, how could anyone dare to utter a word of dissent? They all stepped forward, shouting that they would obey the Marquis's orders. Lu Chaosheng naturally followed suit, kneeling on one knee and shouting loudly.

But a sense of unease settled in my heart.

He also received a letter from General Zhang Shi under Ren Tianye's command. Will he deal with him too?

Fortunately, Pei Wugou was clearly unaware of his situation. After emerging from behind the desk, she grabbed him first and said, "General Lu, I will draw my sword; you assist me from the side!"

Pei Wugou led the way out of the camp, followed by the sound of drums.

After the three drumbeats, all the soldiers inside and outside the camp lined up in the drill ground, forming a vast and impressive procession that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Pei Wugou put on a mask behind his back, strode out, and walked onto the command platform. His gaze swept around, and his powerful personal aura made the soldiers feel breathless.

Just then, he pointed.

He said, "I have already investigated and found that all eight hundred men in the Cangbo Camp, along with their commander, are openly or covertly seeking to defect to Ren Tianye!"

"The evidence is irrefutable and irrefutable!"

"Do you intend to deny it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in uproar.

The eight hundred men of Cangbo Camp were thrown into a panic, but in the next moment they immediately surrounded the center, protecting their commander and forming a defensive formation.

Pei Wugou sneered, "Judging from your attitude, it's clear I haven't wronged you."

"You all harbored ulterior motives from the start!"

"With Ren Tianye's army imminent, you dare to attempt to surrender to him, ruining my grand plan! According to the law, you deserve to be executed!"

"Today, I will show you what the consequences are for betraying me!"

After Pei Wugou finished speaking, he picked up a knife and jumped off the command platform. Everyone made way for him, revealing a passage. He followed the passage straight to the location of the Cangbo Camp.

Before Vice General Chen Song, Lu Chaosheng, and the others could react, Pei Wugou arrived in front of Cangbo Camp.

Without another word, he swiftly drew his sword and beheaded a man!

As the blade drew blood, Pei Wugou became even more ruthless.

He swung the blade in a wide arc, slashing and killing anyone he saw. In the blink of an eye, five or six corpses lay on the ground.

The people of Cangbo Camp also quickly resisted.

They were originally an elite assault naval battalion, every soldier was highly skilled, carrying short ring-pommel swords and short spears, and wearing light linen armor, so their combat strength was quite remarkable.

Moreover, they were arrayed and ready.

We shouldn't have been afraid.

But Pei Wugou, with just a sword, forcefully broke through the defenses. He was like a humanoid beast, charging back and forth in the formation. Corpses fell one after another, but he remained unharmed.

This valiant posture stunned everyone.

I've seen fierce generals before, but I've only ever heard of those who are this fierce!

After Pei Wugou swiftly beheaded thirty or forty of the eight hundred men in the Cangbo Camp, their morale collapsed. When Pei Wugou raised his blade again, some of them fell to their knees with a thud.

"My lord, spare my life! I was wrong, I was wrong!"

With one person surrendering, the psychological defenses of the Cangbo Camp, which had long been shattered by Pei Wugou, completely collapsed, and in an instant, they all knelt down with a "whoosh".

Even the commanding officer was intimidated by Pei Wugou's imposing aura and collapsed to the ground!

Pei Wugou then sheathed his sword and coldly ordered, "Men, tie all these people up!"

Once they came to their senses, the generals rushed over and bound all the men of the Cangbo Camp, awaiting their fate.

Unexpectedly, Pei Wugou immediately retorted, "Take them all out and behead them as a warning!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Cangbo Camp was dumbfounded.

When they heard that Pei Wugou was going to tie them up, it was clearly a lenient punishment, at least not beheading, which would have made them obediently submit. But now...

Should we kill them?

If I had known I was going to die, I would have fought to the death!

They all immediately started screaming.

Lu Chaosheng rushed forward and knelt before Pei Wugou, saying, "My lord, please calm your anger! These people, though their crimes are unforgivable, please spare their lives, considering they have done hard labor for the Jiangbei fortress complex!"

With Lu Chaosheng taking the lead, all the other generals who were not affected also knelt down and begged for mercy.

"My lord, please have mercy!"

"My lord, with battle imminent against Ren Tianye's army, it is not advisable to inflict excessive bloodshed. Please spare their lives."

"My lord, please show mercy!"
