The emperor was very angry, and the emperor's son was very angry.

The imperial palace.

The imperial study.

"Wan'er, how do you think Duke Dingguo would reprimand Gao Yuanwailang?"

Wu Zhao was wearing simple clothes, which made her look less majestic and more feminine.

She said as she flipped through the memorials.

Shangguan Wan'er thought of Gao Yang's words and couldn't help but say, "I guess she might get beaten up."

"After all, what Gao Yuanwailang said this time was too shocking."

Wu Zhao nodded in agreement when she heard this.

"The second strategy of strengthening the country is easy to say, but the first one, the twenty-level military merit system, and the way to control the people are too vicious."

"Even if I tricked Cui Zhuangyuan or Doctor Yan and let them take the blame, such a vicious plan is obviously from Gao Yang's hand. Who would believe it?"

"It's normal for Duke Dingguo to beat him up. I owe him this."

Wu Zhao sighed.

Shangguan Wan'er also nodded.

"This time, I was also very surprised. Gao Yuanwailang was more straightforward than before. It's really rare."

Wu Zhao stood by the window. A breeze blew, blowing her three thousand hairs, revealing her exquisite and noble face.

She also felt the same way.

"Wan'er, the twenty-level military merit system, and the people-oriented, technologically strong country, which one do you think I should choose?"

Wu Zhao suddenly asked.

Shangguan Wan'er was shocked, then shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense."

This answer did not surprise Wu Zhao.

This decision was only made by her.

"First, let's see how powerful the gunpowder that Gao Yuanwailang is tossing is, and see if the gunpowder is really as powerful as he said."

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes were deep, and she said.

Then, she asked again, "Is there any movement in the thundercloud?"

Speaking of this, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes became serious, "Your Majesty, there is no movement of Minister Lei."

"But the more dormant it is, the more I feel something is wrong."

Wu Zhao's eyes turned cold, "Wait another three days, and after three days, we will know after a test."

"Also, quickly summon General Lu and General Qin to the palace."

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Your Majesty, do you really think Gao Yang's guess is true, and the six countries will march?"

Wu Zhao Looking at the dark sky outside the window, she stood in front of the window with her hands behind her back, muttering to herself: "As he said, the world has been peaceful for so long, and I have just ascended the throne. The political situation in Daqian is unstable, and I am the only female emperor. I am destined to be unacceptable to the princes of the world."

"This is a rare opportunity. I may not believe it, but I must be on guard."

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes seemed to pierce through space and cross time. She seemed to see the army with a solemn face, rushing towards Daqian...

"..."

Three days later.

Daqian border.

Pingcheng!

This is a small city adjacent to Daqian and Dachu. The foundation of the city wall is rammed earth. Although most of the people in the city wear coarse cloth long clothes, they all have smiles on their faces.

For a small border town, there is no war. This is the best day and the best world.

On the city wall, a middle-aged man wearing black armor and a beard is guarding the city as usual.

The middle-aged man was named Zhao Tian. He joined the army at the age of sixteen. He had no connections, but he climbed all the way to become a general in a city.

Although it was just a small border town, he inspected it every day and did not dare to slack off.

"Sir, Da Chu and Da Qian have been at peace for ten years. You don't have to come every day. The border is boring. If you have time, you might as well go to the brothel to have fun."

"Brothers are watching on the top of the city."

Seeing Zhao Tian coming, a deputy general with a scar on his face immediately joked.

Guarding the city is boring, so dirty jokes are common.

Zhao Tian didn't have much airs. He was about to laugh and scold.

But at this moment.

The earth trembled, dust flew, and for a moment, even the people in the city were terrified.

On the top of the city, Zhao Tian's expression suddenly changed. He raised his head suddenly and saw a scene that he would never forget.

Within his sight, a black steel torrent came mightily, and he couldn't even see the end at a glance.

A quick glance showed that there were at least 100,000 people!

In the middle, a black military flag with the word "Chu" written on it fluttered in the wind, rustling as if it had come alive!

Zhao Tian felt as if he was on edge!

He yelled hysterically.

"Enemy attack!"

"Eight hundred miles to send a quick message to Chang'an!"

He drew out his sword, his whole body tensed.

The deputy general also drew his sword, and looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but say, "Is this Chu crazy?"

After walking for dozens of miles, they saw densely packed Chu cavalry, with solemn expressions on their faces and ferocious eyes.

A murderous aura soaring to the sky permeated their bodies, seeming to change the color of heaven and earth.

They are like the purgatory cavalry in hell!

Zhao Tian's face turned pale and he didn't say much. He just held the sword tightly.

But he knew in his heart that Pingcheng wouldn't be able to defend it for even half a day with such a force!

A catastrophe is coming!

Now, it depends on whether the information can be sent out.

At the front of the one hundred thousand Chu cavalry, there was a tall maroon horse, with a woman wearing soft armor sitting on it.

The woman has a heroic appearance, and her whole body is filled with a sharp aura.

Behind him, a middle-aged war general rode forward on a war horse.

"Second Princess, give the order!"

"After passing Pingcheng, our army can go all the way south. The guard of Longguan, known as the most powerful pass in Daqian, rebelled. After Longguan, Daqian has a flat plain, and our Dachu rides two horses. It can completely cover its ears with lightning speed. The potential is at the feet of Chang'an!"

The middle-aged general's face was full of excitement, and his eyes were full of ambition.

Chu Qingluan, the second princess of Chu, had been familiar with the art of war since she was a child. She had mastered the art of war and was deeply trusted by the Emperor of Chu.

The middle-aged man is not simple either. His name is Chu Tianfeng, and he is known as the God of War of Chu. He has experienced seventy victories and one defeat in large and small battles in his life!

Chu Qingluan reined in the reins and looked at the Pingcheng wall with a look of solemnity on his cold face!

"This time, let me, Da Chu, give Empress Da Qian a big surprise. We have to thank Empress Da Qian. If she was not the empress, how could the King of Da Qian make a deal with Da Chu and make Long Guan If the general rebels, how can such a God-given opportunity come about?"

Chu Qingluan suddenly pulled out his sword. The cold sword exuded a heart-stopping cold light, and the tip of the sword pointed in the direction of Pingcheng.

she shouted.

"Empress Daqian has ascended the throne. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"Enter Daqian, there are countless gold, silver and jewels!"

"There is a woman with tender skin who can pinch water!"

"Do you want it?"

Accompanied by Chu Qingluan’s words.

The eyes of the Chu soldiers were red, and they roared loudly.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Chu Qingluan's face was cold, and she suddenly swung her sword down, "Kill me!"

In an instant, the 100,000 Chu army was like a torrent of steel, crushing towards Daganping City.

For a moment, horse hooves stepped on and the earth trembled!

Chu Qingluan's face was cold and her eyes were full of murderous intent. She seemed to have seen the bloody storm in Chang'an. She said coldly: "I want to cut off the Canglan River and the Brahmaputra River and make my country lack water. It's really a big deal." A vicious plot!"

"If I don't crush your Gao Yang to ashes this time, I, Chu Qingluan, might as well hit him to death!"
