Yan Jinxiu had never expected such an ending. She had planned for so long, but the Wei Emperor's words were all for naught?
How did that woman make the Wei Emperor surrender so easily?
That wasn't an ordinary person, but the Wei Emperor!
"Miss, they are preparing to retreat!" A maid came in from outside the tent. "What do we do now?"
They had provided intelligence for the Wei Kingdom for so long, and now they were retreating just like that.
Slap! Yan Jinxiu slapped the table, and the table instantly shattered. Her expression was ferocious. "Where is Duke Anyang?"
"Outside."
Yan Jinxiu went out and found Duke Anyang, who was arranging for the retreat.
"Duke." Yan Jinxiu interrupted Duke Anyang.
"Miss Yan, I am very busy. We can discuss later," Duke Anyang said with a frown.
Yan Jinxiu ignored his words and went straight to the point. She even questioned, "Duke, you want to retreat just like that?"
"Imperial Brother has already given the imperial edict. What else can we do?" He wanted to retreat when victory was at hand. Did she think he would feel good about it?
"Then all our efforts have been in vain? Those generals under your command who died died in vain? "
"Miss Yan, what do you want to say?" He didn't need her to question him here.
Yan Jinxiu spoke her thoughts. "The capital is right in front. Let's attack in one go."
"Miss Yan, it's easy for you to say. This is defying the imperial edict." Besides, they didn't have enough food.
"Don't you understand that a general can't obey military orders in a foreign country? Duanmu Zhangning isn't in the capital now, and no one can command the troops under her control. They are in a state of disunity. Duke, you have a high chance of winning if you lead the troops into the capital. By then, the entire Jin Kingdom will belong to your Wei Kingdom. Will the Emperor still blame you? "
Yan Jinxiu's words were very reasonable. Duke Anyang wavered.
"Let me think about it."
He had put in so much effort, but he had to give up at the last step. How could he be willing?
Yan Jinxiu knew Duke Anyang would agree in the end, so she didn't say more. She returned to her tent and let Duke Anyang think about it himself.
As expected, in the evening, Duke Anyang gave the order not to retreat but to continue advancing.
It didn't take long for the troops to reach the capital, but when they attacked the capital, they encountered strong resistance and suffered heavy losses.
The other party was obviously prepared.
"Didn't you say that there was no one in the capital to command?" Prince An Yang angrily found Yan Jinxiu.
"Wangye, Duanmu Zhangning really isn't in the capital." Yan Jinxiu was also a bit confused. If she wasn't here, then who was in charge?
She didn't have any trusted subordinates around her …
The only one who could be said to have a close relationship with her was that palace maid called Xiao Xuan. However, she didn't know these things at all, so why would Duanmu Zhangning give the commander's seal to her?
"There are so many people in the capital. Can't she find someone to command them?" He shouldn't have listened to this woman in the first place.
Yan Jinxiu frowned. "She took power by force. Why would those people help her? Your Highness, don't worry. My people will send the news soon. "
"We don't have much rations left. If we can't take down the capital within three days, it will be difficult for us to even return to the Wei Kingdom!"
Yan Jinxiu clenched her fists, and her eyes were firm. "We will definitely take the capital!"
Prince Anyang glanced at Yan Jinxiu. "This prince will believe you one more time!"
…
On the city gates of Beijing.
Grand Tutor Qi sat in an armchair, cracking melon seeds and drinking tea. The generals in front of him were speechless.
"Grand Tutor Qi, can you say something?" They were already fighting outside.
"Say what?" Grand Tutor Qi blew his beard and glared. "I'm already so old, yet I still have to torment myself with you young people. Do you think I want to?"
If it wasn't for the melon seeds, he wouldn't have come.
"Grand Tutor Qi, Her Highness has given the military power to you." General A was imposing. "Since you can't command, then hand over the military power. Her Majesty will definitely record this merit for Grand Tutor Qi."
"I knew you brats came for the military power." Grand Tutor Qi continued to crack melon seeds. "To tell you the truth, it's impossible."
"Grand Tutor Qi, whose side are you on!" Her Highness was rebelling. As an old official, he was actually helping her!
General B coldly questioned, "Her Majesty treats you well. Why is Grand Tutor Qi helping Her Highness?"
"Her Highness gave me melon seeds to eat." Grand Tutor Qi's expression was calm.
Everyone glanced at the melon seeds in his hand …
What was so good about this thing? He actually sold out Her Majesty for this?
"Grand Tutor Qi!"
Grand Tutor Qi waved his hand. "Her Highness is about to return to the capital. If you don't want to be taught a lesson by Her Highness, then obediently do things according to Her Highness's orders. If the capital falls, you'll be the unlucky ones."
All the generals: "…" You're the commander-in-chief of this defense! Why did you remove yourself from this so cleanly?!
They had never seen such a shameless grand tutor.
Since Grand Tutor Qi didn't hand over the military power, someone naturally had to use extreme methods.
At night, just as Grand Tutor Qi fell asleep, someone snuck into his residence and prepared to assassinate him to find the military seal.
Before the person could get close to Grand Tutor Qi's room, he was caught by a few people.
In the room, Grand Tutor Qi turned over and sighed helplessly. "When Her Highness returns, I must ask Her Highness to add melon seeds for me."
This job was too difficult. His old bones couldn't withstand such torment. He had to raise the price!
Not only were there assassinations, but there were also poisons. There were all kinds of methods.
In the end, these people probably realized that they couldn't do anything to Grand Tutor Qi, so they could only give up the idea of rebelling, no, reviving the country. They obediently followed the Shi Sheng's arrangements and taught the group of people outside a lesson.
After being angered by the Shi Sheng and Grand Tutor Qi, they found a place to vent their anger. How could this group of people be soft-hearted and go all out?
"What's wrong with Her Highness's brain? There are all kinds of countermeasures. "No matter what the other party came up with, they could find a countermeasure from the plans left behind by Her Highness.
This was simply better than a military book.
This made these people who led troops to war gradually convinced.
At most, they could think of one or two countermeasures, but Her Highness directly listed out all the possibilities. Was she still human?
"If Her Highness was a man, it would be understandable for His Majesty to hand Jin over to her. Unfortunately …"
"Yes. Unfortunately, Her Highness is a woman. "
"What's wrong with being a woman? Why are you squatting here instead of going to war?!" Grand Tutor Qi's roar sounded from behind.
Several generals immediately stood up. "Grand Tutor Qi, if Prince Anyang's people don't attack, we don't know what to do."
"If they don't attack, you don't know how to counterattack?" Grand Tutor Qi blew his beard and glared. He flicked his sleeve and threw the bright yellow imperial edict into the arms of one of the generals. "Her Highness is right. You are a group of idiots!"
Grand Tutor Qi left angrily. The generals were dumbfounded. What was wrong with them?!
When they opened the imperial edict, they suddenly began to doubt life. Were they really stupid?
