Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

However, before he could figure out what was going on, he heard the rumbling sound of horse hooves coming from afar.

Reflecting the light in Liucheng, one can vaguely see thousands of troops returning from afar with high spirits.

A look of joy appeared on the face of General Tianqi, and his first thought was that the cavalry had returned.

However, the next second, after seeing the leader of the other party, his face instantly turned pale.

That's...someone from Phoenix Country.

The leader was none other than the world's number one general - Xin Wanyun.

The Phoenix army entered Liucheng openly, and on the city wall.

Song Zhi, dressed in a cloud brocade dress, stood there condescendingly. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the legendary empress glanced at him vaguely, her eyes full of sarcasm.

However, the other party soon withdrew their gaze and began to welcome Xin Wanyun's army into the city.

Not long after, Xie Ting, who had changed into clean clothes, came over with everyone.

At this point, all the troops of the Phoenix Kingdom gathered here.

A devastating thought flashed through General Tianqi's mind. Even if he was unwilling to accept it, he had to realize that the current situation was no longer something he could save.

He had no choice but to retreat in disgrace with his men, looking both embarrassed and ridiculous.

Fortunately, it was still dark, so no one saw them running for their lives in such an embarrassing situation.

On the city wall, Xie Ting came to Song Zhi and said, "Are you really not going to chase them? I feel like we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

Song Zhi shook his head, "Don't chase after a desperate enemy."

There is no need for a person who is destined to die young to waste the lives of his soldiers.

Xin Wanyun also said: "Yes, the goal has been achieved anyway. Pursuing further will only lead to more bloodshed and sacrifice."

Song Zhi told her that Tianqi had brought about its own destruction. Although it was just a speculation, she inexplicably trusted her statement.

Xie Ting was very excited and pulled Meng Qi to ask, "How is it, am I handsome enough tonight?"

Meng Qi coughed dryly and puffed out his chest with pride. "I think I looked even more impressive when I surrounded and attacked them. Hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen were beaten to a pulp by us. You didn't see the scene. It was a crushing defeat."

Xie Ting curled his lips in a bit of a sullen tone. "It was quite spectacular when I led my men into the river. That Tianqi general standing by the river staring blankly was hilarious. The little white shark in the waves describes us exactly."

The two of them started arguing with each other, and finally asked Song Chenfeng to be the judge.

"Who do you think is more handsome tonight?"

Song Chenfeng said weakly, "I think General Xin is more handsome."

The two were not satisfied with this answer and turned their attention to Song Zhi.

Song Zhi said coldly, "If you continue to be so childish, don't be a deputy general. Help my brother from now on."

Song Chenfeng's eyes lit up, "Are you serious?"

Xie Ting and Meng Qi immediately linked arms and acted like good brothers. "Well, we were just joking. Whoever is handsome is still the same, isn't he?"

They had worked hard to earn this deputy general position and didn't want to lose it easily.

Only Song Chenfeng felt a little regretful. The two men changed their expressions too quickly.

With this clean victory, I believe Tianqi will never dare to take the initiative again.

This damage dealt a heavy blow to Tianqi. Perhaps they had never imagined that the temporarily established Phoenix Country would be so difficult to deal with.

With the capture of Liucheng, it became the thirteenth city of the Phoenix Kingdom.

The morning light finally breaks, and the rising sun falls on everyone.

Song Zhi stood against the light at the highest point and planted the flag of the Phoenix Kingdom there.

All the people in the city stayed indoors, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't dare.

No one dared to bet on what kind of person the empress was, although they secretly saw that the empress had a warm smile and got along well with the people around her.

However, Mu Yuanzhi had already had people in Tianqi slander her as a female devil who killed people without blinking an eye, the kind who would not even spare newborn babies.

So the people were extremely frightened, fearing that Song Zhi would start a massacre after his victory.

Some people even set countless traps in their own yards, waiting for Song Zhi's men to come.

They had all thought it through. If Song Zhi was really vicious, they would pretend to be submissive and serve her as their master, and then leave when they could come and go freely, leaving this place as an empty city.

However, the people thought a lot, but what they didn't expect was that Song Zhi didn't pay any attention to them at all.

After taking Liucheng, Song Zhi began to clean up a series of remnants.

She was incredibly busy. When Xie Ting said in a serious tone that the people of Liucheng were very hostile to her, she simply waved her hand and said, "Let them be. After you've cleared out the remaining enemy forces, quickly deploy your defenses and seal off all the checkpoints leading from Tianqi."

She directly ordered that all routes from Tianqi be blocked, including water routes.

Unless the Tianqi people can fly, they will not be able to get over here. She has deployed all 300,000 troops here.

Only 150,000 troops were left in the first border city next to the State of Li.

The reason why there are so many soldiers is that all the newly added soldiers were arranged.

But she believed that the resources on the border were sufficient. After all, Wei and Li were fighting each other fiercely, and Li had no energy to deal with them.

Even if they could spare the energy, not to mention that the State of Li had already been severely damaged, even at its peak, the 150,000-strong army could still wait for support.

Song Zhi knew very well about the war situation between Wei and Li because she had specially asked people to keep an eye on that side.

The State of Wei used to be arrogant and warlike, the kind that anyone would want to kick any passing dog. Now that there was a conflict, they were desperate to get back at the king and vent their anger on behalf of the Prince of Wei.

Even someone as skilled in strategic planning as Jiang Li would have a headache facing such an energetic opponent.

More importantly, Wei Rong has been forcing Jiang Li to give Liu Ruoyu to him for entertainment, otherwise he will fight to the death with the Li Kingdom.

He was heartbroken because he had no offspring, so he wanted to play with the woman he loved so much that he could take her back.

In Wei Rong's opinion, the reason why he got into trouble and got into trouble with Jiang Li was mainly because Liu Ruoyu came to him and bewitched him.

So he hated Jiang Li and Liu Ruoyu equally.

However, Jiang Li is the prime minister of a country after all, and holds great power. In comparison, bullying Liu Ruoyu first becomes a good choice.

Jiang Li once told Wei Rong seriously on the battlefield that Liu Ruoyu did not return to Li Kingdom with him, but went to Huang Kingdom, but Wei Rong did not believe it at all.

"You still want to trick me? Do you really think I'm that easy to fool? Aren't you deliberately blaming the Phoenix Nation, wanting us to provoke the Phoenix Nation so that the Phoenix Nation can join the Li Nation in dealing with us? Humph, I've seen through your tricks, don't even think about succeeding."

Jiang Li: “…”

Emperor Wei looked at his son with great pride. What a clever boy he was! He could deduce so many things from just one simple sentence.
