Chapter 564

When this matter was mentioned, the Eldest Princess' face sunk and she was filled with anger.

"East Qin envoys?" This was not the first time Chen Ning had heard this name. Chu Shao Bai had mentioned it before, but she had never taken it to heart.

Seeing the Eldest Princess' angry appearance, she took it to heart.

She searched the memories of the original owner and only vaguely knew that other than the West Chu Country, there were three other countries in the era she had transmigrated into.

Of which the East Qin Country was the strongest.

But what did this have to do with the West Chu Country?

She comforted the Eldest Princess while asking the Eldest Princess about the details of this matter.

When the Eldest Princess mentioned the past, she was filled with righteous indignation and kept on talking. She held her hand and talked for two hours.

This matter happened twelve years ago before Mo Chuan had ascended to the throne.

At that time, East Qin and West Chu were evenly matched, being the two strongest countries. East Li was eyeing West Chu and West Chu did not have any good intentions towards East Qin.

The war between the two countries was on the verge of breaking out.

The West Chu Emperor of the past was very ambitious, wanting to swallow East Qin and dominate the world.

In order to achieve his ambitions, he personally led his troops and personally led his troops to attack East Qin.

But he never thought that in the most important battle of White Water Pass, the West Chu soldiers he led would suffer a crushing defeat.

Not only was his army annihilated, even the West Chu emperor was captured by the East Qin Country, becoming a prisoner of the East Qin Country.

The emperor was captured and the West Chu Country was in danger. The country could be destroyed at any moment and the citizens would lose their homes. They would become a vassal country of East Qin and fall into deep water.

The ministers had no leader and the West Chu Country could not be without a ruler for a single day.

It was Empress Dowager Zhou who came forward in this critical moment. She led the civil and military officials to help the late emperor's cousin Mo Chuan ascend the throne, placing this heavy responsibility on her son who was only in his teens.

It had to be said that Empress Dowager Zhou was a great woman with great foresight. She insisted on helping her own son ascend the throne not because of wealth, but rather to stabilize the morale of the West Chu Country's army and citizens.

Chu Shao Yang was still young at that time and adding in the fact that he was the late emperor's son, if he became the emperor, East Qin could use the late emperor's life to threaten West Chu.

This was also one of the reasons why the ministers opposed Chu Shao Yang ascending the throne.

With the new emperor ascending the throne, the people of West Chu calmed down.

Following that, Empress Dowager Zhou gave an important task to Chen Ning's father, great general Chen. She sent him to lead his elite troops to face the East Qin army.

Great general Chen won against many with a few, making a beautiful comeback in the battle of White Water Pass. His momentum was like a rainbow, forcing the East Qin army to the border in a single breath.

When Great General Chen was prepared to continue advancing and attack East Qin's territory, saving the previous emperor, there was a sudden change.

While the two armies were facing off, the East Qin Country suddenly brought the West Chu emperor to the front. They wanted the West Chu Country to retreat, not leaving a single soldier behind. Otherwise, if they left one person behind, they would cut off the emperor's hand. If they left two people behind, they would cut off the emperor's legs!

Although great general Chen was following Empress Dowager Zhou's orders, he was still loyal to the previous emperor. How could he let the previous emperor have his hands and feet cut off and lose his life in front of him?

He retreated without hesitation.
