…
Chu Yan's army mutinied.
In Wangqiao, his subordinates deliberately planned to put on the yellow robe.
That night, the entire army was extremely happy and marched towards Kaiyuan City under the cover of darkness.
Soon, the defender of Kaiyuan City surrendered the city, and the 100,000-strong army quickly occupied the surrounding cities such as Huining, Dezhou, and Tianshan.
The local armies of these cities had no intention of resisting, so Chu Yan completely divided up more than a thousand miles of land in Bei'an Province and ruled as his own!
These places were important routes for the imperial court to support the border of Yan. The fall of these cities cut off the support routes to Yan, and the entire Yan became an enclave of An Guo.
…
The capital of Qi State, Shengjing.
“Tsk tsk tsk…”
"I never expected, I really never expected, that so many things would happen in just one month in this small country of An."
In the hot spring palace, the current emperor of the Great Qi Kingdom, Chen Qizhi, was flipping through the intelligence in one hand, while holding a beautiful young woman in his arms. She was well-funded and dressed very revealingly.
The woman in his arms was none other than Concubine Ci, who had just gained favor last year.
After hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Ci showed no other expression on her face. She just peeled a lychee obediently and then fed it carefully with her mouth.
Chen Qizhi lowered his head and took the litchi in his mouth, without forgetting to use his other hand to rub his concubine.
"I've never seen anything so bizarre. I bet no one in the world expected it. The current Emperor Chengping of Anguo would actually be a woman! A woman as emperor... Tsk tsk, that's really interesting!"
At the end of his speech, Chen Qizhi, with a smile on his face, looked down at Concubine Ci.
"Prince Anguo is the empress, is it so bizarre?" Concubine Ci was also shocked by this shocking news.
“Yeah, not bad!”
Chen Qizhi nodded, a deeper smile appearing on his face.
"I originally thought that Anguo had recently been plagued by internal friction and that the Chu family might rebel, so I dispatched troops south. Unexpectedly, the Chu family of Anguo gave up the throne for some unknown reason."
"I didn't understand it then, but now I know. That Lord Chu might have also realized that the emperor he serves is actually the Empress! Who knows what Empress Da'an used to bribe the Chu family? Who can say for sure?"
"It's too early for the Empress of Anguo to be exposed. The world will not easily tolerate a woman ruling the country. Wait, there will be another wave of internal friction within Anguo. I will seize this opportunity to quickly send troops south. In this battle, the Great Qi army will surely win!"
Having said that, the look of the Emperor of Great Qi, who originally seemed very lazy and idle, became more ambitious.
Conquering Anguo means endless great achievements, and no emperor can resist its temptation!
Just when Chen Qizhi was fantasizing about his martial arts, Concubine Ci also found the right moment, put down the lychee in her hand and fell in front of the emperor.
Then, after rubbing for a long time, she raised her head and looked at the current King of Qi with her charming eyes.
"Your Majesty, I would like to congratulate the brave and skilled soldiers of Qi on their victorious return."
"Good! As expected of my beloved concubine, your little mouth is truly sweet!"
Chen Qizhi was overjoyed when he heard this. The imperial concubine's words hit the mark exactly, and completely satisfied his endless sense of pride.
After receiving this information, he became more confident about the southward attack on An. He was planning to directly order tens of thousands more troops to march south, but another man in brocade clothes hurriedly came outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, the latest urgent news from Anguo!"
Hearing this, Chen Qizhi was slightly startled, "Read it!"
"Your Majesty, urgent news from the Anguo front. The Anguo Empress dispatched General Chu Yan, the great general from the northern frontier, to lead a hundred thousand troops to launch a mutiny at Wangqiao. He declared himself emperor and quickly occupied five prefectures, including Huining and Dezhou. Now, the seven prefectures of Yan have become an enclave of the Anguo!"
After the man in brocade clothes briefly reported the situation, Chen Qizhizi hesitated for a moment, then realized the whole story and was overjoyed.
“Great!”
"This is a match made in heaven. I thought that if the empress came to power in Anguo, there would definitely be discontent among the ministers. And sure enough, it happened! One hundred thousand soldiers mutinied, splitting off five states. This is no small rebellion. Just suppressing the rebels is enough to bring disaster to the Anguo court!"
The more Chen Qizhi thought about it, the happier he became. In the end, he clearly realized that it was God who helped him to send troops this time.
"If Anguo is in civil strife, they will definitely not be able to unite now. I am confident that we can win this battle. Not only can we win, but we can also penetrate the heart of Anguo and incorporate its land into the territory of Great Qi in one fell swoop!"
Seeing that His Majesty was so happy today, Concubine Ci also smiled.
The emperor and his ministers were having fun together in the Hot Spring Palace. Chen Qizhizi suddenly thought of something and looked at the man in brocade clothes kneeling on the ground.
"Do you have a portrait of the empress of Anguo?"
As the personal guard of the Emperor of Qi, the man in brocade clothes knew His Majesty very well. He immediately understood the whole thing after hearing this question.
However, he still seemed helpless about this matter.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Empress of Anguo seems to have used a special disguise technique to hide her appearance. Although her identity has been exposed, she rarely interacts with outsiders. Our undercover agents do not know her true appearance."
The man in brocade clothes first said that the matter had not been settled, but in the end he added very considerately:
"However, Your Majesty, I also understand that the Empress of Anguo is extremely beautiful. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in Anguo!"
"Oh? You can actually be called the most beautiful woman in Anguo?" Chen Qizhi was originally angry that she couldn't even handle such a small matter, but after hearing the following words, he instantly became interested in the Queen of Anguo.
"Is she even more beautiful than my Concubine Ci?"
After saying this, Chen Qizhizi's gaze fell on the subordinate in front of him, waiting for a reply.
Not to mention him, even Concubine Ci who was standing beside her became interested when she heard His Majesty comparing Empress Anguo with herself.
As a woman, she loves beauty by nature, and she naturally has a competitive spirit. She wants to know how beautiful the empress of Anguo is.
Originally, Chen Qizhi thought that this subordinate would compliment his concubine because of her status as a concubine, but he didn't expect that after hearing his words, the subordinate in front of him just shook his head.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my frankness. Although the Imperial Concubine is also one of the most beautiful women in Qi, I understand that according to rumors circulating in the capital of Anguo, the Empress must be even more beautiful than the Imperial Concubine..."
"Oh?" Chen Qizhi was surprised when he heard that, and then he couldn't stop smiling. "Hahaha, that's wonderful!"
"I really didn't expect that the Empress Anguo would be so highly regarded. But considering what she has done, she must be no ordinary person!"
