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

"General, this Ren Tianye seems to have rebelled. He actually dared to fight against our Imperial Guards, showing no regard for your authority. He has either already rebelled or is on his way to rebel."

The lieutenant cautiously advised General Lu Qing, "General, given Ren Tianye's attitude, coupled with the high walls and thick fortifications of Yunji City, and our insufficient engineering tools, I'm afraid we won't be able to take Yunji City in a short time."

"Or perhaps we should think of another way!"

"What do you mean?" Lu Qing suddenly turned around, his eyes sharp. "Are you going to abandon my nephew?"

"Although he is not my son, he is the son of my elder brother and Ruyue."

"Ruyue's son, even if it means my death, I will save him."

Faced with Lu Qing's anger, the deputy general couldn't help but shudder, knowing that this man was capable of killing people at the drop of a hat.

He dared not say more.

But if I don't say more, it won't be a good thing.

For some reason, the garrison commander of Yunji City was changed from that lowly good-for-nothing Zhan Shubai to this Ren Tianye!

Ren Tianye is clearly a discarded son abandoned by the Duke of Ren's mansion, so how come he is suddenly so ruthless?

They actually dared to block the Imperial Guards!

But they are truly stuck here.

Seventy thousand imperial guards—how could they be mobilized at will like this?

If it only takes two or three days, the massacre of Yunji City would be over, but if it drags on, who knows how much trouble it might cause.

Especially now...

In the midst of turmoil!

But how can we persuade General Wei to face reality without getting angry?

Just as he was feeling down, a soldier came to report from outside the tent.

"General, there is a letter for you."

Lu Qing took it, opened it, and after only one glance, he instantly flew into a rage: "Insolence! I, the general, am stationed in the capital, and yet someone dares to disrespect me!"

"Absolutely outrageous!"

After he finished reading it carefully, his face turned ashen.

The lieutenant then cautiously inquired, "General, what...what happened?"

"Hmph, the remnants of the Red Beacon Army have fled to the south, stirring up trouble. Some have already rallied an army of 200,000 under the slogan 'The emperor is foolish and kills the loyal, so we must rise up and quell the rebellion,' and are heading straight for the capital."

The lieutenant was instantly terrified.

Two hundred thousand troops!

Heading straight for Beijing!

This is a recipe for disaster!

He quickly seized the opportunity and said, "General, this matter is of great importance. We cannot linger here at Yunji City."

"We must quickly quell the rebellion."

Lu Qing's eyes were icy: "When I lead my troops here, I will teach these traitors a lesson on how to be loyal to the Empress and to the Great Yu."

However, after speaking, he couldn't help but look a little annoyed.

Two hundred thousand troops in the south have risen up in rebellion, and he must rush to the scene immediately to fight the enemy and defend the city. But what should he do about his nephew in Yunji City?

In any case, we absolutely cannot give up.

That was Ruyue's child.

He could not protect Ruyue in his lifetime, but he was determined to protect Ruyue's child.

Then, he sighed, a rare occurrence, and said dejectedly, "Fine, this time I'll give Yunji City a glimmer of hope, you..."

Pointing at his deputy, he said, "Go to the city of Yunji right now and shout to the city guard that I will not pursue the matter and that he should release my nephew."

The lieutenant was stunned upon hearing this.

No, during the day the two sides fought a bloody battle, and now you're just telling them you won't pursue the matter and expect them to release the prisoners?

The courage Yunjicheng displayed showed that he was definitely not the kind of person who was afraid.

Isn't that just asking for trouble?

"Why aren't you going yet?"

"General..." the lieutenant pleaded in a low voice, "It's not that I don't want to go, but I'm afraid it won't be effective."

"No effect? ​​You mean this Cloud Ridge City garrison commander still needs my personal written guarantee? Hmph, how dare he!"

The lieutenant was speechless for a moment.

General Lu Qing clearly inherited the fine traditions of the Duke of Fuguo. He was a master at managing troops, training his imperial guards to be disciplined and extremely brave.

Even the former Red Beacon Army admired him.

just,

Why wasn't this brainpower inherited?

Or is it that it broke down at some unknown time?

He quickly said, "General, what I mean is that I'm afraid we'll have to offer the Yunji City garrison commander enough sincerity as ransom to get the young master back."

"What? He actually..."

The lieutenant interrupted decisively, "General, everything should be for the sake of the young master. He is Miss Ruyue's son. For Miss Ruyue's sake, I suggest that you swallow your anger for now."

The name "Ruyue" (如月) sounds like a curse.

The moment he said it, Lu Qing calmed down immediately.

However, it is still unacceptable to grovel and pay ransom to redeem people.

He was a dignified general, highly valued by the Empress, and commanded one of the four major camps. He was also tasked with the important mission of annihilating the Chifeng Army. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

only……

Thinking of Ruyue's gentle face, all his anger was suppressed: "Fine, fine, for Ruyue's sake, this general will offer his sincerity."

"you go……"

He then pointed to his deputy and said, "Go and summon the garrison commander of Yunji City. I will personally ask him what conditions he desires!"

"yes!"

The deputy general, who had been patiently explaining things for half a day, was overjoyed and immediately went to do it.

Upon reaching the foot of Yunji City, a chorus of shouts erupted.

The message was quickly delivered to Ren Tianye by a messenger.

At this moment, Ren Tianye had not yet returned to the general's mansion. He was still on horseback, his mind replaying the battle with the Imperial Guards that day.

I think there are quite a few problems with it.

The biggest problem was the fear he felt when facing the Imperial Guards, which led him to mobilize almost all the soldiers of Yunji City to the city walls.

There was no rotation, no reserve team.

This is a major taboo.

"Therefore, in the future, when facing an attack, whether it be the Imperial Guard or a stronger army, we must proceed in an orderly manner and never make the same mistake as today."

As he was pondering this, the messenger's words startled him awake.

"The Imperial Guards are here again to demand Young Master Lu Jun?"

"Yes, General. However, the people below the city were quite polite, saying everything was negotiable and even asking us to state our terms!"

"Oh? So they've been beaten into submission and started negotiations?" Ren Tianye's lips curled into a smile. "That's perfect, let's go take a look."

After climbing the city wall, they saw a force of about a hundred imperial guards quite far from Yunji City, with Lu Qing in golden armor in the middle, his face flickering in the torchlight.

"Listen up, sir! Hand over my nephew. Name your price, and I, Lu Qing, will not budge."

Yo!

They can't win the fight and have to come to their rescue!

But that sounds really cheeky!

What does it mean to set any conditions? If you really set conditions, could you accept them?

So Ren Tianye went straight for the outrageous demand: "Want me to release Lu Jun? Easy!"

"Just leave behind the armor, weapons, and all the equipment of your 70,000 Imperial Guards."

Lu Qing's voice drifted over from afar.

"Can!"

Ren Tianye: "???"

Damn it!
