Since the news of Ye Zhen's death came out two years ago, the courtiers of the Jin Kingdom had vaguely reminded Mo Rongzhan to choose a concubine and not an empress. Everyone knew that the emperor had a special affection for the empress, so they would not ask the emperor to choose another empress.
Who knew that in the past two years, the emperor did not choose a new concubine, nor did he favor other concubines, which made a group of courtiers anxious. If this went on, how could the emperor have a prince?
Ye Chunnan told Ye Zhen how Mo Rongzhan had spent the past two years. "Others can't say much about you and the emperor, but Ming Xi and Ming Yu … you have to let them return to their ancestral home."
"When we arrive at the capital, let Mo Rongzhan pick them up." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Good." Hearing his sister say so, Ye Chunnan had nothing to say. He had said so many good words for Mo Rongzhan. In the end, Mo Rongzhan had to come to his sister in person.
But … when would Mo Rongzhan come?
Ye Zhen knew in her heart that Mo Rongzhan would not come for the time being. He was still waiting for her letter.
Ye Chunnan said, "What's your next plan? I heard that Cui Yang is in Doumen Pass. "
"Yes, I have seen Cui Yang." Ye Zhen said faintly, "Li Heng would rather ask the Northern Dark Kingdom to send troops to help than surrender. He wants to prove that he can protect Dongqing without his father."
"The Northern Dark Kingdom will not send troops. They can't even protect themselves." Ye Chunnan snorted coldly. "What do you want me to do here?"
"Let's go to the barracks first." Ye Zhen and Ye Chunnan went to the garden to meet the two children. After a few words, they went to the barracks.
"Although Shui Yichen and Shen Luoyang have no problem in arranging the troops, they are not familiar with Dongqing after all, and … they are not enough. I don't want to waste time with Li Heng. I want to encircle Dongqing and go to the capital as soon as possible." Ye Zhen said in a deep voice, her clear black eyes revealing a resolute majesty.
Ye Chunnan smiled lightly. He used to think that his sister needed protection. She looked so delicate. When did she grow up to be able to lead 100,000 elite troops?
Or did he never really understand his sister?
When they arrived at the barracks, Ye Zhen asked Shui Yichen and everyone to meet in the camp.
When Shui Yichen heard that Ye Zhen wanted them to go to the camp, he called Shen Luoyang and others over. Although he had never heard of Ye Chunnan, with Ye Yiqing's shrewdness, his son must not be bad.
The curtain was lifted, and Ye Chunnan saw a tall man striding in. The atmosphere in the tent seemed to become oppressive and heavy because of his appearance.
What a heavy murderous aura!
Ye Chunnan didn't need his sister's introduction to know that this person was Shui Yichen.
He looked up at Shui Yichen and realized that the man's eyes were blue, and there was a sinister coldness in them.
"Brother, this is Shui Yichen, our great general. This is Shen Luoyang, General Yi Jian …" Ye Zhen introduced the general and deputy general she brought from China and said to Shui Yichen, "This is my brother, Ye Chunnan."
"General Ye, it's an honor to meet you." Shui Yichen cupped his hands towards Ye Chunnan.
"Great General Shui." Ye Chunnan returned the salute. Even if he hadn't seen Shui Yichen lead the troops with his own eyes, Ye Chunnan could imagine how powerful he was. Such a character was actually willing to fight for his sister for his motherland.
Ye Zhen said, "Brother, this is our plan. We want you and General Shen to each take 20,000 elite troops to attack from Xiong Hai Pass and Bai Long Mountain, and then join us in the capital."
Dongqing's military strength was insufficient, and it was impossible to deal with them so scattered.
She didn't want to leave any room for Li Hang.
"Ma Xianhao leads the troops at Xiong Hai Pass. He is the best at setting up formations. His formations are more flexible and treacherous. Bai Long Mountain is close to the White Dragon River. If we want to attack from there, we need warships." Ye Chunnan said. After all, he had been in Dongqing for a few years and was very clear about everyone's characteristics.
Shui Yichen looked at Shen Luoyang, "What do you think?"
"We have plenty of warships. We are not afraid of fighting on the White Dragon River." Shen Luoyang said.
"Then let General Shen lead the troops to Bai Long Mountain. Chi Man is also a master of naval warfare. He will go with General Shen." Ye Zhen looked at Shui Yichen. He was the commander, and this matter needed his consent.
"Yes." Shui Yichen looked at her. "Let Chi Man and Shen Luoyang go to Bai Long Mountain. Jiang Dachuan will go with them."
Jiang Dachuan had been in Dongqing for a few years. He knew all kinds of situations.
"Then it's decided." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
Shui Yichen walked to the sand table in the middle of the tent and turned to look at Ye Chunnan. "General Ye, how long do you think it will take for us to reach the capital?"
"Dongqing has suffered a great loss in Qingzhou last time. Now, their forces are mainly in these three places. As long as we break through their border, we can go straight to the capital. Li Hang is such a cowardly person. The forces outside the capital are certainly no less than those in these three places. However, we will have already met by then. Forcing the abdication will not be a problem." Ye Chunnan said in a low voice.
"Then we'll be able to reach King's City within three months." The corner of Shui Yichen's mouth floated into a smile. His deep eyes looked at Ye Zhen. "In two days, we will really send troops. Unlike the ten cities we captured before, we need to make a name for ourselves."
Ye Zhen's face changed slightly. She understood Shui Yichen's meaning. He knew that she could not choose, so he was forcing her to choose.
"What do you mean?" Ye Chunnan asked with a frown.
Shui Yichen looked at Ye Chunnan and said, "We have always been nameless. We are invaders. We don't even have a name, so we can't raise the morale of the 100,000 elite soldiers. You are their Heavenly Concubine, the Heavenly Concubine that they traveled all the way here. You have to give them a proper name and let the whole world know that it was the Heavenly Concubine who brought us back from the sea to take over Dongqing."
Ye Chunnan turned to look at Ye Zhen. "What Heavenly Concubine?"
"Shui Yichen …" Ye Zhen's face was slightly pale. "If we really announce that I am the Heavenly Concubine, then there is no room for retreat?"
"Unless you want all of us to return to Hua Country." Shui Yichen whispered. "Otherwise, even if you don't want to, I will let the world know that the person who took over Dongqing this time is you. You are our Heavenly Concubine."
Although Ye Chunnan did not know what a Heavenly Concubine was, listening to Shui Yichen's words, he understood more or less.
"Yao Yao is the Empress of Jin Kingdom." He frowned. Did he want her to be separated from Mo Rongzhan in the future?
"You have no choice, Heavenly Concubine," Shui Yichen whispered, looking at her with a heavy gaze.
Indeed, she had no choice. She had 100,000 soldiers behind her. She could not let them down …
