Chapter 279.2
Chapter 279.2
With a grave expression, the marshal said, Your Majesty, Great Xias forces are formidable! Although their numbers are fewer than ours, each of their soldiers is elite and well-equipped. I fear that our Great Yan may not be a match for them!
Previously, the Great Hong Dynasty was also slightly superior to Great Xia in various aspects, but in the end, they were utterly defeated! Therefore, with the troops we have at hand, I fear we cannot win this battle! Hence, I believe
The Great Yan Emperor urgently asked, Do you have any good strategies? Speak quickly!
Your Majesty, the best course of action now is to summon Grandmaster Murong Qiushui from our court! With the presence of Grandmaster Murong, even if we cannot win the battle, we can deter Great Xia and prevent them from daring to invade us!
At this moment, the civil and military officials spoke in unison, Your Majesty, please have Grandmaster Murong take action to protect our nation!
The Great Yan Emperor felt numb inside!
He would have done so if he could have summoned Murong Qiushui already!
But wasnt the problem that the person had gone missing?
Where was he supposed to find him?
My ministers, your points are valid! However, Grandmaster Murong is currently in seclusion at a critical moment of his cultivation! Therefore, we must not disturb him unless its an absolute emergency! Lets discuss other strategies instead!
This was the excuse he had been using to deceive the outside world, and now he brought it out again.
The officials were slightly disappointed but not desperate.
After all, having a Grandmaster gave them confidence.
Without a Grandmaster, they probably would have fled without a trace.
However, although Grandmaster Murong cannot take action for the time being, we can write a letter to deter them! Let Great Xia know that we, Great Yan, also have a Grandmaster and fear no challenges! declared the Great Yan Emperor with righteous indignation.
Not long after, the Great Xia Marshal Chai Yuxin received a letter from the Great Yan Emperor.
In the letter, the Great Yan Emperor sternly denounced Great Xias aggression and warned them that Great Yan also had a Grandmaster who would soon emerge to settle accounts. It would be wise for them to withdraw their troops and return home, or else the situation would become uncontrollable.
Chai Yuxin smiled faintly, and in front of the envoy, she burned the letter with fire.
Then, she continued to conquer cities and territories.
The Great Yan Emperor was extremely annoyed; he was the Emperor of a Dynasty, and yet he was being ignored by a mere female general.
If this got out, how much face would he lose!?
To burn the letter in front of the envoy is a blatant provocation against us!
Your Majesty, we cannot tolerate this. We must show them a lesson!
Your Majesty, quickly summon Grandmaster Murong to take action!
The civil and military officials were even more anxious and excited than the Great Yan Emperor.
Influenced by this, the Great Yan Emperor became filled with righteous indignation: My ministers, you speak the truth! Their actions show complete disregard for me and for Great Yan! Therefore, we must show them a lesson! Let them know that Great Yan cannot be humiliated!!!
Your Majesty! The civil and military officials became excited, as if ready to fight to the last breath.
Bring me my writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone! shouted the Great Yan Emperor.
Your Majesty, what are you going to do? the civil and military officials were dumbfounded.
What else can I do? Of course, write another letter, a strong condemnation of their actions! The Great Yan Emperors face was fierce.
The civil and military officials:
Not long after, Chai Yuxin received another letter from the Great Yan Emperor.
After reading it, she burned it in front of the envoy again and then continued her campaign.
The Great Yan Emperor was dumbfounded.
This was the second letter, and you burned it too?
Arent you giving me any face at all?
This makes it very difficult for me!
Your Majesty, we really cannot tolerate this anymore!
We must summon the Grandmaster to retaliate! If she dares to burn the Emperors letter, we dare to kill their people! Well kill until they are afraid, and then they wont dare to mess around!
Your Majesty must not be insulted, Great Yan must not be insulted!
After the earnest pleas of the civil and military officials, the Great Yan Emperor realized his mistake and decided to change his method of condemnation.
He stopped writing letters and instead had his envoy memorize the message he wanted to convey, then sent him to rebuke the Great Xia Marshal.
The Great Yan Emperor was very pleased with himself, thinking, Now you cant burn my letter, can you?
Indeed, Chai Yuxin couldnt burn it, so she pierced the envoys babbling mouth with a spear, chopped off his head, and threw it into the Great Yan army camp to be sent back.
Looking at the head with eyes wide open in death, the Great Yan Emperor fell into deep thought.
Because the mouth of the head was wide open.
It seemed to be saying one word: Scram!
Thus, the Great Xia troops conquered cities and territories with unstoppable momentum and finally reached the imperial city of Great Yan in less than half a month.
Your Majesty, can we now summon the Senior Murong? If we dont do it now, Great Yan will be finished! the civil and military officials pleaded with desperate hope.
Cough cough My ministers, what you say is very true! You hold the front, I will go and summon the Senior Murong right now! the Great Yan Emperor said with utmost seriousness.
Yes, Your Majesty! The officials became excited as if they had already won the battle.
However, after resisting desperately for a day, they neither saw the Senior Murong nor the Great Yan Emperor.
At the moment they were captured, only one thought remained in their minds.
His Majesty has deceived us!
