Chapter 310 Strange Woman
When these words were spoken, the expressions of all the officials present changed.
The emperor's expression was extremely ugly.
"Change to Xia Yu?"
The messenger whispered, "Yes, that Lord Pei said that if we want the Crown Prince, we can only exchange him for Xia Yu. Otherwise... the Crown Prince might not survive the next half month."
The emperor's face turned pale and the anger in his eyes grew even stronger.
At this time, an official stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, Xia Yu is just a woman. The Flame Army cannot do without her. How can she compare to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why not give Xia Yu to them instead?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. It's just a woman. If they want it, just give it to them. The return of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a major event. If the delay causes the Crown Prince to encounter an accident... it will definitely shake the foundation of the country..."
…
The officials in the hall echoed one after another.
In their opinion, Xia Yu and Tuoba Jing are not comparable.
Over the years, they only knew that Sheng Country's Flame Army was invincible, but only a few people knew that the leader was called Xia Yu, and even fewer knew that she was a woman.
Most of the court officials had never seen with their own eyes how terrifying this army was, nor had they seen with their own eyes Xia Yu's abilities.
Now that I think about it, I don’t even feel how important this person is.
And now that the leader of the Flame Army has been replaced, Xia Yu is naturally of no use.
Looking at the emperor's expression, he seemed a little hesitant.
Xia Yu is naturally not as important as Tuoba Jing.
But he also knew that Xia Yu was useful, and he wanted to continue using Xia Yu.
Even though he looked down on Xia Yu because she was a girl, he would not deny that Xia Yu was capable of leading troops in battle.
Now is the time when Shengguo needs people.
Xia Yu is a woman. She has neither the ambition to command an army nor any other ideas. He uses her very easily.
Now she has been stripped of her power and given a warning.
If I use her again in the future, she will only be grateful to me and work hard for me.
But now...
Forget it, no matter what, bring the prince back now.
He said in a deep voice, "You are right. It's just a woman. If they want it, just give it to them."
The emperor's words were naturally recognized by all the officials, who shouted "Your Majesty is wise."
Soon, the news that Xia Yu replaced the Crown Prince of Sheng State spread among the people.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, who is Xia Yu?
Why would Daha go to so much trouble?
News about her identity and her deeds as the leader of the Flame Army over the past two years quickly spread among the people.
It was not until this moment that everyone suddenly realized that Xia Yu was the commander of Sheng Kingdom’s most mysterious army, the “Flame Army”.
Those brilliant battles in recent years that have been praised by the world and won by the outnumbered side were all won by her.
Thus, the reputation of the female general who commanded a brave army quickly spread throughout the world.
The people sighed with emotion: "No wonder Daxia is trying so hard to get General Xia Yu. It turns out she is such a talented person!"
"Although she is a woman, she is as capable as any man and has opened up such a vast territory for the prosperous nation."
…
However, soon after, these rumors became——
"Your Majesty, if you hand General Xia over to the Xia Kingdom, won't our Sheng Kingdom be destroyed?"
"Without General Xia, does Sheng still have the strength to fight?"
"Could it be that Shengguo is going to surrender to Daxia..."
"No matter whether they surrender or not, as ordinary people like us, we just want to live a comfortable life."
"Don't worry, I heard that Princess Zhaohua isn't someone who kills innocent people. Even the terrifying General Xiao wouldn't dare kill anyone in front of Her Highness..."
A female general whose identity was kept hidden by the royal family and the court became known to the world overnight.
Everyone knew that the Sheng Kingdom had a female general who was a master of military strategy and had expanded the vast territory of the Sheng Kingdom over the years. She was a remarkable woman.
Daxia had discovered such a heroic woman, so it went to great lengths to use the crown prince of Sheng as an exchange.
