Empress Dowager Xiao cursed and berated these civil and military officials.

But there was nothing he could do.

In less than two days, the two groups of troops sent out by the Northern King, totaling 50,000 men, were all wiped out by Jiang Tian.

Yelü Chucai, the Great King of the Northern Court, also died.

These civil and military officials knew that they still had two or three hundred thousand troops.

If soldiers are recruited from the civilian population.

It is possible to recruit 400,000 to 500,000 soldiers.

But what good are four or five hundred thousand?

These four or five hundred thousand were utterly insignificant in front of Jiang Tian.

In the end, there will only be a few more innocent people dying.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of our Khitan, please be sure to endure this humiliation."

"Your Majesty, a moment of patience brings peace, and a step back opens up a vast expanse."

All the civil and military officials knelt down.

Everyone blocked Empress Xiao's way back to the capital.

Empress Dowager Xiao pointed at the other party and cursed, "The entire court of civil and military officials actually forced me to offer them a toast!"

“This is utterly absurd. If word gets out, how will any of you civil and military officials save face?”

But these civil and military officials all acted like dead pigs, impervious to boiling water.

Empress Dowager Xiao's carriage remained stationary, neither moving forward nor backward.

Prime Minister Xiao Jun: "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty is unwilling to lose face and cannot swallow this insult."

"But Your Majesty, please rest assured. As long as we can be patient for a while, we will be able to kill them when we find the right opportunity."

"If we kill Jiang Tian, ​​things will become much easier, Your Majesty."

"By then, the entire Great Xia Dynasty will still be ours."

"Your Majesty must think this over carefully."

Xiao Yanyan then nodded.

"You have all made me lose face. Since it is your unanimous opinion, I will throw away my pride and reluctantly go with you."

Before Empress Dowager Xiao had finished speaking, all the civil and military officials were overjoyed and said in unison, "Your Majesty is wise."

The convoy started moving slowly.

Those civil and military officials either rode in sedan chairs or on horseback.

The honor guard led the way with gongs and drums.

Behind them was Empress Xiao's carriage convoy.

Next up are the civil and military officials.

They were all as if they had lost their parents.

"Move forward quickly, or we'll miss Lord Jiang's deadline by an hour, and then we'll all be dead."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Soon, the driver began to crack his whip.

They sped southeast.

Jiang Tian and the others finished their meal and waited there.

After waiting for a long time, Empress Xiao's entourage did not arrive.

Jiang Tian was immediately enraged: "This Empress Dowager Xiao dares to put on airs in front of me? I'd like to see just how much airs she has to put on."

Just then, another troop of cavalry charged straight in from a distance.

This cavalry unit was the same group of men from earlier.

"My lord..." Seeing tens of thousands of cavalrymen staring at them menacingly, the few cavalrymen panicked.

Jiang Tian waved his hand.

Huo Qubing's tens of thousands of cavalrymen quickly mounted their horses.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized.

The clattering sound of armor filled the air.

"I told your Empress Dowager Xiao to come see me within an hour, why didn't she come?" Jiang Tian pointed to the ten thousand iron cavalry behind him, "It seems you didn't take my offer."

The cavalrymen knelt before Jiang Tian and waved their hands repeatedly.

"You've misunderstood, sir."

"After receiving this order, Empress Dowager Xiao immediately led her troops here."

"The Empress Dowager was afraid that Your Excellency would have to wait too long, so she sent us ahead."

"Our Empress Dowager's entourage will arrive shortly."

“It’s too late to come now,” Li Cunxiao said coldly.

"My lord, there's no need to give that wretched woman face. Let's march straight to her capital. Who can stop us then?" Dian Wei was also furious.

"No, no, no..." The cavalryman waved his hands repeatedly, "When we arrived, the Empress Dowager's entourage had already set off, and it shouldn't be long before we arrive."

The sound of gongs and drums could be heard in the distance.

Jiang Tian looked into the distance through his binoculars.

Empress Dowager Xiao's entourage arrived quickly in an orderly procession.

"Everyone line up!" Huo Qubing saw Empress Xiao's entourage approaching and quickly pointed his Dragon Reverse Scale Spear into the sky.

The crowd was lined up quite neatly.

These gleaming armors shone white under the sunlight, looking majestic and imposing.

The sword gleamed with a cold light.

Although Huo Qubing only had a little over 10,000 men under his command, they appeared imposing and their morale was unstoppable from afar.

Seeing the convoy speeding towards them in the distance, Huo Qubing also wanted to lead his men directly into the capital.

With Huo Qubing's abilities, even sealing the wolf's lair was a trivial matter.

Leading 10,000 cavalrymen into the capital was insignificant.

Jiang Tian sat in the chair and crossed his legs.

A full fifteen minutes passed.

Empress Xiao's procession arrived before him.

Empress Xiao gently lifted the carriage curtain, and when she saw the majestic and imposing iron cavalry, she trembled all over.

"Empress Dowager, what's wrong?" the palace maid in the carriage asked hurriedly.

"I am fine."

Empress Dowager Xiao's teeth chattered as she spoke.

Soon, the carriage came to a steady stop in front of Jiang Tian.

Empress Dowager Xiao quickly pushed open the door.

One by one, the civil and military officials dismounted from their carriages or from their warhorses.

These civil and military officials witnessed firsthand what it meant to have a strong and well-equipped army.
