The ministers lowered their heads, not wanting to attract the emperor's attention at this time.

They are really worried.

The Emperor is furious every day. If he dies suddenly one day...

No, you can't think like that. If something happens to the emperor suddenly, the world will be in chaos.

So, everyone once again looked at the prime minister with pleading and expectant eyes.

Prime Minister: “…”

The prime minister, who always took the lead, stood up under the gaze of everyone who entrusted him with an important task. He first comforted the emperor, and after the emperor calmed down, he proposed several solutions.

But! These plans were all rejected by Pei Changying.

This time, Pei Changying was extremely determined.

How could a dignified emperor, a favored son of heaven, be so tolerant just for some untouchables?

Pei Changying sneered, "I absolutely cannot compromise this time. These unruly people will only push their luck. If I compromise again, they'll threaten me to confer titles and honors on each of them next time."

The prime minister was helpless.

However, the emperor did not listen to his advice, so he could only sigh and stop trying to persuade him.

After all, our emperor will not listen to the advice of his subjects once he has made a decision.

That's all.

Let it be!

The prime minister gave in helplessly.

Pei Changying gritted his teeth and said with murderous intent in his eyes, "The late emperor was too fond of the traitor Pei Weiqi during his lifetime, which is why she wanted to seize my throne."

"Humph, you're still trying to imitate the rules of later generations where women can go to school. Women working in business? Government? That's ridiculous! Women are only fit to be locked up in houses and serve men!"

"What a fantastic idea! I'll see how much money the late emperor gave you is left for you to squander."

"I have the resources of a country to support me. Pei Weiqi, how can you compete with me for this world!"

Pei Changying was naturally jealous of Pei Weiqi's decisions.

Moreover, he knew very well that Gu Sang was definitely involved in Pei Weiqi's decisions that benefited the people, including compensation for the dead soldiers and cannons.

Pei Changying felt that he was deeply betrayed by Gu Sang again. He trusted Gu Sang so much!

But Gu Sang helped that bitch so much behind his back!

Pei Changying's heart was bleeding.

He has been trying to connect with Gu Sang these days, but for some reason, he can never get through.

"Sangsang, I will prove to you that I am the chosen one!"

"Your choice of Pei Weiqi was a big mistake!"

Pei Changying looked sharply at the ministers who only knew how to bow their heads and couldn't even think of an idea. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly:

"Let General Guan lead an army of 200,000 to Plague City to wipe out the rebels!"

Upon hearing this, the entire court was shocked.

The ministers all looked up in surprise.

The prime minister felt his head buzzing and almost had a myocardial infarction.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not! General Guan's 200,000-man army is stationed at the border to prevent the Xiongnu from invading the Central Plains."

"If General Guan's 200,000-man army were transferred, the Xiongnu would march straight into the Central Plains."

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

It's the same words again.

I'm so angry!

These ministers are always complaining about this and that, they are totally useless!

Pei Changying swept his cold gaze across the ministers, carrying the absolute majesty of an emperor: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Do you have any ideas?"

"I have my own considerations. As long as General Guan can win the battle quickly, we can razed Plague City back and forth without the Xiongnu knowing."

"I will order the garrisons of several nearby cities to the border to stabilize the Xiongnu and create the illusion that the Xiongnu army has not moved."

"As long as there are no traitors in the court! How could the Xiongnu discover my plan?"

"My dear ministers, you are all loyal to the emperor and patriotic, right?"

The ministers wiped their sweat and straightened their backs: "We are absolutely loyal to our country and Your Majesty!"

Since the emperor has already thought of everything, they can only obey his orders.

But if General Guan fails to win the battle quickly, and the Xiongnu discover the clues, the Central Plains will be in danger...

The imperial army was stationed in a valley thirty miles away from the plague city.

After Guan Pei reported to Pei Changying that the princess had made the cannon, he stayed in the valley and waited quietly for the court's orders.

After receiving the imperial court's order to "attack," Guan Pei immediately beat the drum to gather his troops and ordered, "Prepare for battle immediately and attack Plague City again!"

"This time we will definitely take down Plague City!"

"Capture Pei Weiqi alive!"

"And you, Deputy General Qin, you were captured alive by that traitor Zhou Qichen last time and then released. You swore you hadn't betrayed the court. I'm granting you amnesty today to go to battle and give you a chance to prove your innocence! Kill Zhou Qichen with your own hands, and I'll believe you!"

"You can do this, right?!"

Deputy General Qin lowered his head, his eyes filled with complexities as he replied, "I'll do my best."

"Heh!" Guan Pei sneered, stared deeply at Deputy General Qin for a few more seconds, and then commanded the army to charge straight towards the Plague City.

This time, the management trainee learned his lesson.

Soldiers were no longer required to stand too close together, with each soldier standing one meter apart in front, behind, left and right.

Even though the eldest princess's cannon is extremely powerful, its effectiveness is greatly reduced due to such defects.

If the princess still uses cannons, the ammunition alone will make her bankrupt.

But if the princess didn't use the cannons, that woman only had a few soldiers under her command, so wouldn't his 50,000 troops be able to capture the city and the pond immediately?

Guan Pei had been living in the valley and was unaware of the various benefits for the soldiers issued by the princess. This had increased the number of soldiers under her command to an astonishing 80,000!

He also confidently thought that the eldest princess only had a few insignificant soldiers under her command.

Guan Pei arrived at the foot of the Plague City with full confidence. The eldest princess stood on the city wall and smiled contemptuously after seeing the loose positions of the court soldiers.

I actually came up with this idea to fight against cannons.

However, in today's battle, she wants to test the strength of these new recruits!

The princess raised her eyes, glanced at Gu Sang who was watching the battle from the middle of the city wall, and said, "He does have some brains."

"What a pity, we changed our tactics this time."

Gu Sang on the screen had a calm and composed expression, facing the imperial court's renewed attack without the slightest fear: "The imperial court only has 50,000 soldiers and horses. Things are different now."

"Wei Qi, then let them see the elites that Zhou Qichen has trained using methods from later generations!"

The princess nodded and ordered to the rear: "General Zhou, it's your turn to fight this time!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qichen's spirits immediately perked up, his eyes flashing with excitement as he said, "I obey your command!"

The city gate is open!

The imperial soldiers who were frightened by the cannons last time stared at what was about to come out with fear!

Is it coming again?

Are they going to be blown away again?

They stared with wide eyes, watching, and watching again, and then they saw Zhou Qichen riding a horse and taking the brunt of the attack, with tens of thousands of soldiers behind him!
