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

Shanhe City was given to the barbarians as a dowry!

These words struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.

That's Shanhe City!

The first city in northern Xinjiang!

The Great Yu defends the formidable pass to the north!

The Great Yu Kingdom has existed for eight hundred years. Countless patriots have shed their blood here, and countless soldiers have died on the battlefield. To this day, it remains an indelible pain in the hearts of the barbarians.

But now...

But it was given to the barbarians?

It was taken away by the barbarians without bloodshed?

Among those present, apart from the few Yunji City soldiers who had been promoted, they were all former members of the Eight Hundred Army, belonging to the Chifeng Army, and had been stationed in Shanhe City.

Ren Tianye was relatively alright, after all, he had only been here for three or four months. But the other members of the Eight Hundred Army had already spent several, ten, or even several decades in Shanhe City.

I have a deep affection for Shanhe City.

It was hard to accept at first.

"What's wrong with this empress? How could she hand over Shanhe City to the barbarians?"

"The Red Beacon Army has been slaughtered, and Shanhe City has been handed over. From now on, this world will no longer belong to the Great Yu."

"Once the barbarians capture Shanhe City, they will definitely attack. Then, let's see where this Empress will be crying!"

……

The crowd shouted with righteous indignation, which frightened the young master, who immediately shrank back and dared not say another word.

Ren Tianye, on the other hand, remained relatively calm.

He immediately grasped the key point.

Once Shanhe City falls into the hands of the barbarians, it will be much easier for them to invade the Central Plains again.

Given that the northern frontier is currently undefended and has no troops to defend it, he can almost conclude that the barbarians will sweep across the entire northern frontier and then attack the capital.

Furthermore, with news of the massacre of the Red Beacon Army reaching the world, unrest is sure to follow.

Then, a war that will sweep across the entire world will surge forth, and the Great Yu Dynasty, which has enjoyed eight hundred years of prosperity, will be destroyed in an instant.

but……

This is a good thing for him!

Only in times of chaos can the elite forces of the Great Yu be preoccupied with them, giving them the opportunity to rapidly grow and become regional hegemons, eventually vying for supremacy.

From this perspective, while Empress Xiao Mingzhao's actions are infuriating, they also allow her to maximize her own gains.

Ren Tianye's mind raced.

But then he was suddenly startled.

After thinking of something, a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He immediately turned to the young master Lu Jun and said, "Your second uncle intends to offer a large sum of money to ransom you, and I have already agreed. However, I have some conditions!"

Lu Jun, the young master who was in despair, was overjoyed in an instant.

His second uncle came to rescue him?!

Sure enough, my mother was right; my second uncle would never abandon him.

He quickly replied, "Please speak, sir. My second uncle will agree to any conditions. He would do anything for me."

However, Lu Jun was wrong about this.

When Ren Tianye shouted out a second condition to Lu Qing from the city wall, Lu Qing instantly flew into a rage.

"Insolence! You dare to bargain with this general? Do you really think my words are worthless?"

"This general's word is law."

"I said I'd give you 70,000 sets of equipment, and I'll give you 70,000 sets. As for anything else, not even an extra arrow or a dagger!"

Lu Qing was clearly still subconsciously trying to maintain his image as a domineering CEO, which was obviously a source of pride for him.

A promise is a promise!

Ren Tianye didn't waste any words with him and slapped Young Master Lu Jun across the face.

This instantly worsened the injury on Young Master Lu Jun's face, causing him to scream in pain. He shouted towards Lu Qing below Yunji City, "Second Uncle, you have to say yes!"

"If you don't agree, he'll kill me!"

"If I die, how will you explain it to my mother?"

"You, you really intend to betray my mother!"

"My mother will be sad."

This shout startled the soldiers and imperial guards of Yunji City, both on and below the city walls, who all turned to look.

Second uncle?

Your mother?

sorry?

There seems to be something going on here!

Lu Qing, however, was oblivious to all of this, only looking conflicted. In the end, he could only sigh and say, "Never mind!"

"Listen up, sirs on the city walls!"

"This is the last condition, but if you dare to go too far, don't blame this general for being impolite!"

Ren Tianye breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The first condition, namely the 70,000 sets of equipment, is still being systematically arranged by the Imperial Guards at the foot of Yunji City; they haven't fully obtained them yet.

He certainly didn't need to lose sight of the bigger picture for a small gain.

He then said, "This request is very simple. I only ask you to order the Imperial Guards to make way and write down a warrant."

"This general will send someone to Shanhe City."

Lu Qing frowned: "What are we going to Shanhe City for?"

"I have some friends and brothers who are still in Shanhe City, and I want to go and bring them back."

"That's not difficult. Fine, I'll grant your request." Lu Qing waved his hand and, with his domineering CEO style, quickly wrote down the order.

He ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows at the walls of Yunji City.

Ren Tianye opened it and felt a great weight lifted from his heart.

Several guerrilla generals and eight hundred soldiers standing nearby couldn't hold back their tears.

They knew what Ren Tianye wanted!

It was their families who were trapped in Shanhe City!

They are their parents, brothers, sons, daughters, and their wives!

Since their uprising, the Eight Hundred Army had always had this concern: although they were constantly in danger of being beheaded, they also had the possibility of gaining glory for the future and benefiting their descendants.

But their families are innocent!

In fact, the general has sent out many scouts to investigate these days, but there has been no news.

Unexpectedly, the general still kept it in mind.

They tried every possible means to help them bring back their families who were trapped in Shanhe City.

"General, from now on, I entrust my life to you. From now on, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"General, we vow to guard your side to the death from now on. We will never disobey any order, and if we break this oath, may we be struck by lightning!"

"I will never see my mother who raised me again in this lifetime... General, I have nothing more to say, from now on I will be your most loyal soldier!"

……

Ren Tianye helped these people up and said, "I made a promise to you, and I will naturally keep it."

He paused, then called out, "Sun Xiang!"

"Your subordinate is here."

"I entrust this matter to you."

"This humble general will certainly not fail in his mission."

Sun Xiang said with a righteous expression.

My heart was still trembling slightly as I said this.

He lost his wife early in life, leaving behind a three-year-old child and a seriously ill elderly mother. In previous years, they had struggled to make ends meet on his meager salary.

Now that he has raised an army in rebellion and occupied Yunji City, he is overjoyed. However, when the night is quiet, his longing for his family surges like a raging sea, filling his body and mind, causing him to have nightmares and feel restless every night.

He always worried that once he left, how would his elderly mother and young children survive? Would they also fall victim to the Empress's scythe?

Whenever I think of this, I can't help but feel a deep pain in my heart.

right now,

The general gave him a chance to save his family, and he was willing to die to fulfill the general's order.

"Alright." Ren Tianye nodded and said, "However, there are a few things you need to keep in mind on this trip."

"General, please give your instructions!"

Ren Tianye said, enunciating each word clearly: "You must be swift and decisive, and avoid unnecessary disputes. Your most important task is to bring the families of the Eight Hundred Army soldiers back."

"Yes, General, I understand!"
