The person who came to see Ye Zhen was indeed Cui Yang.
Cui Yang used to be Ye Chunnan's deputy general. He was promoted by Ye Yiqing. He had always been grateful to Ye Yiqing and his son. After receiving Ye Zhen's letter, he had been waiting for Li Heng's order. When he learned that Li Heng's action was only to ask for help from the Dark North Kingdom, he only felt despair.
Dongqing could no longer be saved.
"Our Heavenly Consort is willing to see you, but only you can come alone." Shen Luoyang looked at the enemy general lightly. This was the Cui Yang the Heavenly Consort mentioned. It seemed that because of this person, the Heavenly Consort did not continue to order troops to attack.
Cui Yang handed the sword at his waist to General Li behind him. "Wait for me here."
"General Cui, be careful." General Li said worriedly, "This man seems to be another general of Lu Yaoyao. I have fought with him. He is very powerful."
"Don't worry." Cui Yang smiled. If he had anything to fear, he would not be standing here.
He rode his horse to Shen Luoyang. "I am Cui Yang."
Shen Luoyang looked at him and turned his horse around. "Our Heavenly Consort is waiting for you. Come over."
A woman? When Cui Yang heard Shen Luoyang's feminine voice, his face flashed with astonishment. She was actually a woman?
"What are you looking at?" Shen Luoyang looked back and saw Cui Yang staring at her back.
"You … you are a woman?" Cui Yang asked in surprise. General Li had just said that he had fought with her. Was she already a general?
Shen Luoyang snorted, "So what if I am a woman?"
"Nothing." Cui Yang shook his head hurriedly. He remembered that Lu Yaoyao was also a woman. She was now leading 100,000 elite troops to attack them. It was normal for her to have a female general by her side.
He really didn't know where Lu Yaoyao found these people. Looking at the whole Central Plains, whether it was the State of Qi or the State of Jin, it was not easy to send 100,000 elite troops to attack Dongqing at this time. Moreover, these people had never been seen before, let alone heard of their names. Obviously, they were from overseas.
Cui Yang came to see Lu Yaoyao with a heart full of doubts. He had seen Lu Yaoyao once when he was Ye Chunnan's deputy general, but he had only caught a glimpse of her from afar and did not see her clearly. He only heard that she was a woman whose beauty could cause the downfall of cities and countries. When he entered the tent and saw Lu Yaoyao, he thought that she was indeed as the rumors said.
"General Cui, I've heard a lot about you. Please take a seat." Ye Zhen looked at Cui Yang with a smile. She had heard her brother mention him. When her brother was in the wilderness, Cui Yang led troops to support him.
"Empress." Cui Yang respectfully bowed, lowering his eyes, not daring to look at Ye Rou's radiant face.
Sitting next to Ye Zhen were Shui Yichen and his sister. After coming up from the Water Ghost Ferry, Shui Miaomiao became her personal guard. They said that they were worried that she would be in danger, so they needed someone to protect her.
Cui Yang had just sat down when he felt a formless pressure enveloping him. He raised his eyes and glanced at the man sitting opposite him. He was momentarily stunned by the deep blue eyes of Shui Yichen. This was a man filled with killing intent. That was Shui Yichen.
"General Cui, what can I do for you?" Ye Zhen asked in a warm voice. For the sake of her brother, she did not want to fight with Cui Yang.
"Empress, I wonder if Lord Ye is well?" Cui Yang asked in a low voice, his face a little guilty.
Ye Zhen nodded faintly. "My father is fine. Thank you for your concern."
"Although I don't know what kind of adventures Empress has had in the past two years, she must want to avenge Lord Ye. Empress, Li Yu has …" Cui Yang always thought that Ye Zhen just wanted to teach Dongqing a lesson on behalf of Ye Yiqing.
"General Cui, I have made it very clear in the letter I sent you. I want Dongqing because of my father. After all, if it weren't for him, Li Hang would not be where he is today. I just want to take back what doesn't belong to him." Ye Zhen interrupted Cui Yang's words. "It's better to make a long story short. General Cui, are you planning to surrender today?"
Cui Yang smiled bitterly. "Do you want to stop until the fish dies and the net breaks?"
Shui Yichen faintly raised her eyebrows. "The fish is dead, but the net is not necessarily broken."
With the military strength of Dongqing and the absence of Ye Yiqing, even if Cui Yang was brought out by Ye Yiqing, it was not worth mentioning to Shui Yichen.
Cui Yang's face was full of embarrassment. Although he had not fought with Shui Yichen, he knew that he was not her opponent.
"Did Li Heng ask you to come?" Ye Rou asked softly.
"The emperor sent someone to ask Beitang Yu for support. Empress, if the Northern Dark Kingdom sends troops, it will not be good for you." Cui Yang advised.
Ye Zhen showed a bright smile. "Li Hang really … never changes. Every time he encounters something, he will only ask for help from others. He thinks that Beitang Yu will really put him in his eyes. The Northern Dark Kingdom has long been in trouble. I hope that Beitang Yu will send troops. In this way, he doesn't have to worry too much, let alone be merciful."
When she entered the inland sea, she heard that Wan Ziliang had already been killed. The Dark North Kingdom was in constant chaos, and most of his 200,000 elite soldiers had died. How could he have extra troops to support Dongqing Kingdom? It was good enough that they did not plunder Dongqing.
Cui Yang smiled bitterly in his heart. If robbing a city in a row is merciful, what is merciful?
"Empress, are you determined to win Dongqing?" Cui Yang asked in a low voice.
"I am determined to win." Ye Zhen said lightly.
Cui Yang's face was heavy. "Then would you like to see our empress first?"
Ye Zhen smiled indifferently. "It's the same whether I see her or not. General Cui, if you surrender in three days, then we will officially attack the city."
"Empress!" Cui Yang's face changed dramatically. Now, they had less than 20,000 troops at Doumen Pass. How could they compare with their 100,000 troops? "Why do you have to get Dongqing? Are you doing this for the Jin Emperor? "
"Of course not." Ye Zhen smiled. "We want Dongqing because Li Hang owes us."
Her borrowing troops from Qi Yu had nothing to do with Mo Rongzhan.
He didn't need her to do this.
Cui Yang left in disappointment. Returning to Doumen Pass, he told the deputy next to him the result. "Prepare for battle in three days."
"Why don't we surrender?" Suddenly, a small voice rang out. "It's a dead end anyway. Why throw away your life?"
"Because you are protecting the country." Cui Yang looked at the young deputy and said coldly.
General Li said solemnly, "We are protecting the country, but how many soldiers outside are forced to join the army? Will they … be obedient?"
Not everyone had this kind of awareness.
