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

Ren Tianye immediately gave several orders to the messenger.

"Have Sun Xiang transfer 5,000 Imperial Guards from Yunji City, including equipment for 1,500 heavy cavalry and 1,500 light cavalry."

"Have Zhang Shi hand over the task of transporting the grain to Sun Xiang, and order him to lead everyone here as quickly as possible."

"Also, have Wang Ming come back and tell him that Su Xiu's location has been confirmed, and that he should return immediately."

After issuing several orders, Ren Tianye felt a little more at ease, but he knew that he still didn't have enough men.

What he's doing now is a rather risky approach.

We need to immediately use the three thousand men from Qi Niu Town, plus the three thousand eight hundred men he brought with him, for a total of six thousand eight hundred men.

Facing the formidable force of nearly 20,000 soldiers stationed in Sifang City, this was merely a drop in the ocean.

Wang Hai saw through Ren Tianye's intention and immediately said, "General Ren, we have brought four thousand brave men, all of whom we have selected. Although they have never been on the battlefield to kill the enemy, they are all first-class men."

"If the general needs it, you may take it."

Ren Tianye had this intention all along; otherwise, why would he issue orders in front of Wang Hai and the others?

With a face full of excitement, he said, "That's wonderful! On behalf of the Duke of Ren's mansion, I would like to express my gratitude to you all. When things are settled, I will definitely praise your achievements at my father's grave."

After calming down the group, Ren Tianye calculated the score in his mind.

With these four thousand men, he would have a force of ten thousand eight hundred.

The skill levels naturally vary.

But he has allocated so many suits of armor and equipment, which should greatly improve his strength. With the troops from Yunji City backing him up, he is not worried about these people causing any trouble.

We should be able to fight against Sifang City!

Even though it is extremely difficult, this war must be launched!

To completely annihilate Ye Fan!

"Oh, right, General Ren, there's something extremely important..." Wang Hai and his group were about to be sent to Yunji City by Ren Tianye to avoid trouble. They had already reached the door when Wang Hai suddenly seemed to remember something, and his expression changed: "Ye Fan, there's another ally!"

"Before Ye Fan achieved his goal, he became sworn brothers with a man named Song Wan. The two were sworn brothers. Song Wan was previously an insignificant military officer from a poor family in the northern border of the Great Yu Dynasty, who was not given important positions."

"But that person was exceptionally talented. After Ye Fan rose to prominence, Ye Fan arranged for him to lead a force on his own and sweep across the northern frontier."

"Through continuous fighting and slaughter, we have rapidly grown stronger!"

"We do not know where they are now, nor how many troops they have, but they are probably extraordinary."

"He is very likely to take advantage of the fact that you are attacking Sifang City, General Ren, and suddenly return to fight. You must be careful, General Ren."

Ren Tianye frowned.

Song Wan?!

Sweeping across the northern frontier?

So, it turns out that a significant force has already emerged in northern Xinjiang?

He had been paying close attention to the development of the northern frontier and had many contacts with the scattered border troops who wanted to join him. He only knew that the border was in chaos, but he did not know that a man named Song Wan was gradually becoming an unstoppable force!

"Moreover, Song Wan is an extremely cruel and bloodthirsty man!"

Then, as if remembering something else, Wang Hai quickly said, "Song Wan is said to be a handsome young man who is usually stern and cold-tongued, but he is extremely ruthless when he strikes."

"As far as we know, he has already slaughtered several cities, large and small, including Shuofeng City, Canglan City, Luoyan City, Shaji Town, Duchuan Town, and Qingmeng Town."

"He really showed no mercy!"

"The entire city was wiped out, not even a chicken or a dog remained; corpses piled up like mountains!"

Ren Tianye frowned even more deeply.

Ye Fan, you have such a powerful ally?!

That makes them even more difficult to deal with; they truly deserve to be called protagonists.

But he must take over this Sifang City!

Ye Fan must be killed!

Even if there were a hundred Song Wans to help him, let alone one Song Wan, he would still kill Ye Fan!

only……

Ren Tianye's eyes showed some doubt.

I have a feeling that I've heard the name "Song Wan" somewhere before.

I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't remember.

Instead of thinking about it, he started considering how to attack Sifang City.

……

Canglan City!

This town, which was thriving and prosperous just a few months ago, is now a ruin, with mountains of corpses, rivers of blood, and a stench that makes one want to vomit.

Wang Ming and Su Jin, together with their personal guards, searched for Su Xiu's whereabouts. As they arrived, Wang Ming, who had long served in the border army and was accustomed to bloodshed, couldn't help but feel nauseous.

"Indeed, it's better to be a dog in times of peace than a human in times of chaos!"

"Who was the heartless bastard who slaughtered this Canglan City? It is truly an outrage against both gods and men."

He cursed under his breath, but when he looked up, he saw Su Jin sitting on her horse, staring blankly at the dilapidated "Canglan City" plaque that was missing a corner.

"Su Jin, what's wrong?"

"Ah, no, it's nothing, it's just..." Su Jin said, "I just remembered some things."

Thoughts were like a rope of fate, tightly gripping the heart. Those emotions suppressed deep within surged forth like a raging sea without warning when the words "Canglan City" were seen.

She could no longer remember what the boy looked like.

I only remember his expression.

Stubborn and determined.

I also remember his determination to give everything for me.

But she had already chosen Zhang Wei.

That guy with powerful connections, and easy to manipulate, joined the army!

For her, the boy's tender affection was nothing but a fleeting dream!

All she could offer was to accompany the young man on a trip to the northern frontier before their marriage, to see the vast landscape of the Great Yu Kingdom and to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the northern frontier.

He followed along the way.

His face was always serious and unsmiling, but as soon as he met her eyes, his expression would soften and his eyes would instantly brighten.

That sincerity made her reluctant to part with him, and it pained her.

But I had no choice but to give up.

She tried to find many reasons, but she couldn't sever this bond. Tears streamed down her face again and again, and she was caught by him time and time again, leaving her panicked and at a loss.

She lied and said she had been bullied, and the boy said, "When I become a great general, I will avenge you."

"If you shed a single tear, I will slaughter an entire city."

Such a joke is truly laughable.

But when the boy spoke, his body was tense, his face was serious, and his eyes were as earnest as ever.

That image became a memory she could never erase.

But now...

Times have changed. Zhang Wei is dead, and she is no longer the lady who could act as she pleased. Now she lives a life of dependence, barely surviving.

All we can do is stay vigilant at all times.

All he could ask for was a vigorous and diligent advancement in his official career.

The past is like smoke, memories like reflections in a mirror or the moon in the water, vanishing in an instant. In these times when chaos is about to engulf the world, living may be more important than anything else.

"Su Jin, are you alright?"

Wang Ming noticed that Su Jin's expression was off and asked her what was wrong.

Su Jin blinked almost imperceptibly, making the tears in her eyes disappear, and the calm she had maintained for some time returned to her beautiful face: "I'm fine."

"Let's hurry up and find my second sister, before she causes any more trouble."

Wang Ming nodded and was about to lead his team away when he saw a messenger from Yunji City rushing over.

"General Wang Ming, the Grand General has ordered you to return to camp immediately without delay!"
