This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 181
Great Xia Imperial Capital, Yunbo Post House.

"I, Yunbo, am I dead?"

Mu Qingyue froze in place as if struck by lightning, her face pale.

She knelt outside the Meridian Gate for five days and five nights, but Emperor Daxia never showed any intention of seeing her.

Not long after I came back, I received the news that the imperial capital was breached and Yunbo was destroyed. What kind of a major blow is this?

Looking at the desperate and sad Mu Qingyue, although the few confidants couldn't bear it, there was nothing they could do.

"What about the father?"

After a long while, Mu Qingyue murmured softly, her voice hoarse.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time to die..."

Hearing this news, Mu Qingyue's body trembled again, followed by deep-seated hatred in her eyes.

"Summer!!!"

"Your Highness, it's not Da Xia, but Prime Minister Ke Xin! Ke Xin secretly voted for the Qingqiu Dynasty, launched a mutiny that night, and forced His Majesty to death."

A confidant hurriedly explained that she was afraid that Mu Qingyue would do something irrational because of her hatred for Da Xia.

"However, that old thief Ke Xin got his retribution. Not long after, the Great Xia army killed him. I heard that Ke Xin and other traitors have been killed!"

Mu Qingyue was stunned for a moment, only to feel that the anger and hatred in her heart suddenly had no direction to vent, and she was suffocated.

After more than ten breaths, Mu Qingyue suddenly went limp and sat down on the soft chair.

"Your Highness..."

"You guys go out, Bengong stay alone for a while."

Mu Qingyue waved her hand wearily.

"This is."

Several confidantes looked at each other, sighed secretly, then bowed and retreated.

As the wooden door was closed, only Mu Qingyue's messy and deep breathing was left in this bedroom, making it even more depressing.

After sitting alone for a while, Mu Qingyue got up and went to the dressing table, and slowly combed her messy hair in front of the mirror.

She wanted to use this beautiful skin to fight for Yunbo's life, but in the end, she couldn't even meet her target.

Now that the Yunbo Dynasty has been destroyed and her father is dead, what is the point of her staying alone in this world?
Tears finally trickled down from her eyes, but Mu Qingyue's expression became extremely calm, and she even hummed a song softly, which was the most well-known song of the Yunbo Dynasty for a wanderer returning home.

After combing her hair, Mu Qingyue wiped off the tears on her face, put on a set of clean long dress that she likes most on weekdays, and put away her makeup.

A quarter of an hour later, Mu Qingyue, who was embarrassed and slovenly, regained her brilliance. Apart from her pale face, other aspects bloomed with vitality, as if she had returned to the most beautiful moment in the past.

However, the more delicate and beautiful the flower is, the sadder it will be when it withers.

As a silver hairpin pierced her heart, bright red blood seeped out, dyeing the pink dress and the sight of the beauty in the mirror red.

Feeling the continuous flow of vitality from her body, Mu Qingyue smiled sadly and slowly closed her eyes.

Half an hour later, a personal maid knocked on the door for a long while but got no response, and broke in eagerly, only then did she discover Mu Qingyue's withering.

……

Daxia Palace, Wentai Palace.

It was late at night, Xia Ao was naturally having fun with his concubine in Wentai Palace.

Shangguan Wan'er hurried in and found Xia Ao who was learning a musical instrument.

"Your Majesty, Bi Fang's army has successfully captured the Empress Dowager Chu, the little emperor and all the officials of the Great Chu. Moreover, the Empress Dowager Chu has agreed to surrender!"

After Shangguan Wan'er finished speaking, the eyes of the surrounding concubines brightened instantly, and Xia Ao also raised his head with a smile in his eyes.

"That's right, Zhou Ying is quite capable this week. She gave me such a big surprise as soon as she came up."

In fact, Xia Ao was still a little uneasy about making Zhou Ying the head coach of Bi Fang's army.

Although Zhou Ying inherited Gao Shun's inheritance, in terms of the ability to command large-scale army operations, compared with Bai Qi, Wang Jian and others, I am afraid there is still a big gap.

However, the result of this battle made Xia Ao feel at ease.

"Since the overall situation of Great Chu has been locked, let the two prime ministers cooperate closely with Zhou Ying to calm down the entire Great Chu in the shortest possible time and completely merge it into my Great Xia!"

"Yes!"

Shangguan Wan'er bowed her head respectfully, but did not leave immediately.

"What else?"

Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er hesitated to speak, Xia Ao asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, news just came that Princess Yunchang Mu Qingyue... committed suicide..."

suicide?

Xia Ao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and sighed.

"She's still a loyal, filial and patriotic woman, that's all, it's a relief for her to do so."

"For the sake of her bravery, I will help her. In this way, arrange for someone to collect her body and send it back to Yunbo Imperial Tomb for burial."

"Yes!"

Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor's mind was unpredictable, and she was afraid that His Majesty would be angry.

……

On the seventh day of August, Songjiang.

At this time, the main forces of Daxia and Qingqiu had basically arrived, and more than 100 million troops faced each other along the long river bank.

In the middle reaches of the Songjiang River, the Qingqiu Central Army Camp.

On the high platform, more than a dozen Qingqiu generals were talking in low voices, pointing to the opposite bank from time to time.

Among them, surrounded by the middle is a veteran wearing a golden armor and a navy blue cloak.

This person is Liu Yongtai, the hussar general of the Qingqiu Dynasty and the commander of the army that attacked the Yunbo Dynasty.

"Liu Shuai, there is only one day left, what should we do?"

Some generals looked at Liu Yongtai and asked questions, frowning.

Regarding the strategy, they have actually thought of a lot, but after discussion and demonstration, none of them are really feasible.

Seeing that the time set by the Empress is getting closer, and the Great Xia army is constantly taking down the central and northern cities of the Yunbo Dynasty, how can they not be in a hurry?
"Liu Shuai, the general suddenly thought of a coup!"

At this time, a general with big eyes suddenly spoke out, looking a little excited.

"Oh? What's the strategy of general Xu Shen? Let's talk about it."

Liu Yongtai lifted his spirits and looked over with great interest.

"Liu Shuai, we can use Yunbo to drop troops!"

General Xu Shen laughed and said.

"Yunbo descends troops? How to use it?"

Liu Yongtai is more interested.

"Liu Shuai, we can hide the elite of our army among Yunbo's descendants, and then let them cross the river in the name of dismissing Yunbo's captives and releasing them back to the country!"

"As long as these captives successfully cross the river, our elites will be able to use their physical advantages to form a human wall on the other side to forcibly clear one side of the ground for our crossing army to settle down!"

"As long as our people don't move their weapons first, and don't directly attack the soldiers of Daxia, it will not be considered a violation!"

General Xu said excitedly, with a confident look.

However, as soon as his words fell, he was immediately questioned.

"General Xu's suggestion is probably untenable. The people in Daxia are not fools. They must have guessed the hidden plan behind our move to send prisoners. As long as they have this suspicion, how could they allow those prisoners to pass by?" River?"

In the face of doubts, Xu Can will be calm and composed, apparently already thinking about the basis for his rebuttal.

"Even if they guessed it, so what? If Daxia wants to take down the cities and places in Yunbo safely, and win the hearts of Yunbo's people, he can't stop the prisoners from crossing the river, let alone kill them!"

"Speaking of which, even if the Daxia army refuses to agree, we can force the captives to cross the river. If the Daxia army starts killing, although our goal will not be achieved, we can still tarnish Daxia's reputation and make anger and resistance His will is spreading in Yunbo territory! This is also an unexpected harvest, isn't it?"

After listening to General Xu's explanation, all the Qingqiu generals' eyes lit up.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yongtai nodded slowly.

"This is indeed a method worth trying. Let's do this, even if it doesn't work, I still have an alternative plan."

"General Xu, since you proposed this strategy, you are in charge of commanding it. Go ahead and hurry up!"

"promise!"

General Xu Shen looked overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around and got off the high platform.

About an hour later, a large number of ragged and depressed Yunbo prisoners were driven aboard the ship.

At the same time, a young general from Qingqiu with a white flag on his back flew to the center of the river, shouting loudly towards the Daxia army on the other side.

"People of Great Xia, listen up, my Qingqiu dynasty has the virtue of living well, and now I have decided to dismiss the Yunbo captives so that they can return to their homeland to live in peace, and you must not stop them!"

Hearing the loud voice, many Yunbo prisoners were stunned, a little unbelievable.

Qingqiu's army actually wanted to release them?Is this true or false?

Most people don't want to believe it, because they don't believe that the people in Qingqiu are so kind.

However, after they boarded the ship, the soldiers of Qingqiu removed their shackles, and many people began to believe.

At this moment, the lifeless captives suddenly began to agitate, and the brilliance appeared in their eyes again. It was the hope of returning to their homeland and regaining their freedom!

On the other side, the generals of the Great Xia frowned.

"Meng Shuai, they are definitely out of good intentions! There must be a conspiracy! Don't let those prisoners cross the river!"

"That's right, Meng Shuai, the people in Qingqiu will definitely not give up. The reason why they do this must be for a purpose, we can't be fooled!"

"But how do we prevent those Yunbo captives from crossing the river? Don't we have to kill them?"

"Don't worry about it, just overturn all the boats crossing the river!"

"No! If we do this, it will definitely arouse the resistance of Yunbo's soldiers and civilians, which will not be good for us to quickly win the Yunbo territory!"

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't know that the other party has a conspiracy, and let's just watch them do their best?"

For a while, all the generals held their own opinions, and their faces were red.

"All right."

Meng Tian snorted coldly, and finally stopped the arguing.

"The other party is doing this, nine times out of ten, they want to hide Qingqiu's soldiers in it, so that they can get away with it."

The generals were shocked immediately.

"Huh? This Qingqiu person is really cunning!"

"Since that's the case, then we can't let them cross the river!"

Those with a tough attitude will take the lead and then speak out, while the other faction that originally opposed it has also silenced at this time.

However, Meng Tian shook his head.

"No, let them go!"

"put?"

All the generals were stunned and looked at Meng Tian in astonishment.

"Let it go! But it has to be conditional! This handsome man wants to let Qingqiu's people steal chickens and lose money!"

Meng Tian said in a calm voice, with a playful sneer on his face.

……

After a while, a large number of boats, large and small, with no end in sight, began to cross the river.

As time slowly passed, both the captive Yunbo and the general Qingqiu became nervous.

The reason why the former is nervous is naturally that they are afraid that the Great Xia army will kill them!
As for the latter, while they were nervous, they also had some inexplicable expectations.

They were worried that the Great Xia army would attack directly, because in this way, the people they sent would suffer.

But at the same time, they were secretly looking forward to it, because if the Great Xia army really started killing, it would be tantamount to destroying the Great Wall!

The center of power of the Yunbo Dynasty has surrendered, and these are just innocent prisoners who have never fought against the Great Xia army.

If Daxia starts killing, it will not only arouse the anger of Yunbo's army and civilians, but also spread the notoriety all over the world, making others worry a lot before surrendering!

Time continued to pass in this oppressive and tense atmosphere. When some ships passed the middle of the river, the Great Xia army on the other side suddenly opened their bows and arrows.

At the same time, a figure flew into the air.

"Listen, all Yunbo soldiers, the Yunbo Dynasty has surrendered to my Great Xia, so from now on, you are my subjects! Our soldiers welcome your return!"

"However, among you, there are likely to be some guys hiding evil intentions. So, now, please take off all your shirts and wash your face with river water!"

"Don't worry, we will provide brand new clothes when we arrive on shore, and we will also prepare sumptuous meals!"

"If someone refuses to obey, it proves that they are not from the same road and are full of malicious intent! If these people dare to approach, our soldiers will shoot and kill them immediately!"

Hearing this man's yelling, the Yunbo captives had no intention of resisting, and they had a somewhat favorable impression of the attitude of the Great Xia army.

But on the other side, the generals in Qingqiu were dumbfounded.

"Did they... guess?"

"There is such a simple way to deal with it? Why didn't I think of it just now?!"

"What should I do? This is going to be difficult."

"That's right, Yunbo's captives are all sallow and emaciated, with a sluggish look, but ours are ruddy and full of energy. If we take off our clothes and wash off the camouflage on our faces, the difference can be seen at a glance!"

"What should I do? Or let someone withdraw it?"

The generals talked a lot, and wanted to order the disguised elite to withdraw, but they were unwilling to do so, and they still had some hopes of getting through the test, so they couldn't make up their minds for a while.

At the same time, the Yunbo prisoners have begun to undress and wash their faces, and the elite Qingqiu in disguise have no choice but to follow suit.

As the front ship got closer and closer, thousands of golden cavalry suddenly soared into the air, divided into five layers and opened their bows and arrows in midair.

"The centurions listen to the order! According to the order of the army, divide the targets and prepare!"

The big Xia general standing high in the sky gave a loud shout, and after allowing ten breaths of preparation time, he swung his arm violently.

"shoot!"

After the military order was issued, thousands of arrows lingering with faint fluorescence shot out, rushing towards dozens of ships!
