The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 680: Reward Afterward

After Yelu Hong's death, the soldiers under his command were leaderless and could either flee or surrender.

After Yelu Lingxiao dealt with the remaining troops of Yelu Hong, he and his group attacked in the direction of Emperor Zuo of Liao with great momentum.

Empress Xiao looked at the tens of thousands of people mingling together, the cavalry charging and the infantry fighting bloody battles. Her heart was filled with blood and flesh flying. Besides feeling nauseous, she also felt a pang of heartache. These were all the elite troops of the Liao Dynasty!

Seeing the chaotic situation, Yelu Lingxiao quickly advised, "Niece Queen, it's dangerous ahead. Let's get out of this dangerous place first!"

Empress Xiao raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "This war must end as soon as possible. I must stop it. Otherwise, who knows how many more soldiers will be killed or injured."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Yelu Lingxiao didn't dare to say anything more and quickly ordered the Xiao family to protect the queen closely. As for the rebels who had just surrendered, he was a little skeptical.

Immediately afterwards, this ragtag army composed of surrendered rebels quietly came to the rear of the Nan Daying army. When they got close, they rushed out and stabbed Yelu Xiong in the back like a sharp knife.

For a moment, scimitars were slashing and spears were stabbing. The army of the Southern Camp was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

Yelu Xiong turned his horse around and shot and killed several enemy generals in succession, thus stabilizing the situation.

Emperor Liao Zuo and Xiao Fengxian were stunned by this dramatic change, and then a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

Emperor Liao Zuo exclaimed excitedly, "Great, great! My queen is truly as capable as any man. Today, thanks to her, we were able to turn the tide and disrupt the rebels' formation!"

Xiao Fengxian nodded in agreement. She had complete faith in the abilities of her, the queen's niece.

Although he didn't know what Empress Xiao had just encountered, he was indeed overjoyed that she could appear here in time.

With the addition of people like Empress Xiao, the combat effectiveness of the East Camp and the Guards increased dramatically. Under the joint attack from both sides, the South Camp army, which had been exhausted in the battle, was defeated.

Yelu Xiong opened his mouth in shock. He had never expected such a thing to happen.

He was a little surprised. Since Empress Xiao appeared here, where was Yelu Hongren?

Empress Xiao, dressed in military uniform, arrived at the center of the battlefield, surrounded by thousands of cavalrymen. She glanced at Yelu Xiong, who was not far away, and said in a deep voice, "Yelu Xiong, stop resisting in vain! Surrender!"

Immediately afterwards, a young general of the Xiao family army raised the tip of his spear, and a head with wide-open eyes flew towards Yelu Xiong, rolling several times at his feet, but still with its eyes open.

When Yelu Xiong saw the head, he looked at the thousands of old subordinates around him who were already terrified, and knew that if he continued fighting, he would only die, so he threw away the scimitar in his hand and knelt down towards Empress Xiao.

Upon seeing this, his soldiers from the Southern Camp dropped their weapons and knelt down before Empress Xiao.

When Emperor Liao Zuo saw that it was not him they were kneeling to, he was shocked and angry. He pointed at Yelu Hong and the others and cursed, "You, you should kneel to me, not to her!"

Yelu Xiong glared at Emperor Zuo of Liao and secretly cursed him for being so stupid that he still had not recognized the situation.

Seeing Yelü Xiong's tact, Empress Xiao smiled triumphantly and said in a deep voice, "Prince Yelü Xiong of the Southern Courtyard has gathered people to rebel and deserves death. However, I, considering that you are a royal relative, have made great military achievements, and have rendered meritorious service to the Liao Dynasty, will pardon your death penalty."

"From now on, I allow you to gather your old subordinates and wipe out Yelu Xiu and other bandit leaders in the Northern Camp Army, to atone for the sins of the Liao soldiers who died because of you."

"Do you have any objection to this?"

Yelu Xiong knelt on one knee and bowed to Empress Xiao, saying, "Thank you, Empress!"

After saying this, he commanded his subordinates, mounted their horses, and rode away.

Emperor Liao Zuo looked at this scene with a chill in his heart. He glared at Empress Xiao and said angrily, "Empress Xiao, you are letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Do you also want to rebel against me?"

Empress Xiao was not angry when she heard this. Instead, she smiled and said calmly, "Your Majesty, you and I are husband and wife. How can you say we are rebelling?"

"Come here, His Majesty is tired, take him down to rest!"

"You, you, you unfaithful slut, I am really blind..." Emperor Liao Zuo was so angry that he stamped his feet and talked nonsense.

However, before he could finish his words, his vision went dark and he fainted from anger.

Empress Xiao was a little furious and said, "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you quickly find an imperial physician to see His Majesty?"

Yelu Lingxiao hurriedly called the Xiao family to send Emperor Liao Zuo away. He said he was sending him away, but in fact he was secretly controlling him.

Afterwards, Empress Xiao returned to the central military tent and sat in the position that originally belonged to Emperor Zuo of Liao.

Those frightened princes and ministers had also heard the news and rushed back. At this moment, they were a little nervous and secretly guessed what Empress Xiao was thinking.

Empress Xiao glanced at everyone and feigned anger, saying, "Tonight, Yelu Hong and his men rebelled. As members of the imperial family and loyal ministers to His Majesty, you have behaved so poorly that Your Majesty has been placed in danger and has fallen seriously ill."

"What crime should you be charged with?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the princes and ministers became nervous. His Majesty was seriously ill, and Empress Xiao was going to hold him accountable.

Then, they all knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Empress, please calm down. We are guilty."

When Empress Xiao heard this, she felt no ripple in her heart and didn't even look at these people.

Then, she changed the subject and asked, "Yelü Lage?"

Yelu Lage was a little flustered when he heard Empress Xiao's voice, and he knelt down quickly, "I am here!"

"Yelü Lage has made great contributions in protecting the emperor, so he is promoted one level, rewarded with 100 taels of gold, 1,000 cattle and sheep each, and given a mansion." Empress Xiao said lightly.

When Yelu Lage heard that he was not punished but received a lot of rewards, he was secretly delighted.

He raised his head to meet Empress Xiao's majestic gaze, and instantly made up his mind. He shouted, "Thank you, Empress. I will do my utmost to serve you faithfully until death."

Empress Xiao was very pleased to see that Yelu Lage never mentioned Emperor Liaozuo. She nodded calmly and said calmly, "Go! As long as you do your job well, I will not treat you unfairly!"

Yelu Lage kowtowed heavily and said loudly: "Yes!"

The other princes and ministers heard the hidden meaning in their words. Empress Xiao was taking the opportunity to warn them and force them to take sides!

Immediately afterwards, Empress Xiao bestowed rewards on several more people, but ignored these princes and ministers, which made them feel very anxious and worried.

Finally, a neutral minister stood up, quickly admitted his mistake to Empress Xiao, and expressed his loyalty to her.

With the first, there is the second, the third...

In the end, only a few stubborn and powerful princes and ministers remained undecided, and some even expressed dissatisfaction with the Queen Xiao Duolilan's power.

Xiao Fengxian, who was standing aside, remained silent, but had already memorized the name of this prince and minister in his heart, thinking about how to deal with these old stubborn people later.

Empress Xiao didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and she was too lazy to even say anything. Her slender fingers tapped on the table from time to time, like heavy punches to their hearts, breaking down the last line of defense in their hearts.

As time went on, beads of sweat covered the foreheads of these stubborn people, and they became more and more anxious.
