The eldest son is fierce

Zhuge Wanwan has been the commander-in-chief of the three armies for many years. After winning such a great victory, how could he miss the opportunity to pursue the victory?

Not to mention that the head coach of Dayan is Tang Yi, an ambitious and passionate young man with the world in his heart. Would he let the blood of 100,000 people in the southern border of Dayan be shed in vain?

Thinking of this, Zhuge Wanwan frowned slightly. Something was not right. Tang Yi had the ability to kill Huangfu Zong, so he had the ability to destroy 300,000 Northern Army soldiers. How could he let part of the Northern Army retreat back to Nanjing?

"You, tell me clearly, did anything happen along the way? Otherwise, the Northern Army would have no chance to escape back to the border town."

Zhuge Wanwan stared at the messenger with cold eyes and said with a glacial expression.

The messenger immediately said, "There was an accident. After the Marshal died in battle, the mall was attacked by a mysterious force, forcing Tang Yi to lead his troops back to provide assistance."

"The new army that was originally ambushed outside Licheng has withdrawn completely? The Northern Army only found an opportunity to escape back to the border city."

Zhuge Wanwan thought to himself, as expected. He looked at the stunned little emperor and his ministers and said in a cold voice, "Did you hear that? This is the Tang Yi you despise the most. Now... what do you say?"

"Are you still laughing? Come on, give me another laugh, the kind that could destroy a nation."

Zhuge Wanwan's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder in the silent imperial study, suddenly waking up the little emperor and a group of ministers who were still in a daze.

Just now, they were mobilizing troops to take over the southern border of Dayan, but now they are facing the disaster of national destruction. This boomerang is really fast, accurate and ruthless!

"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do now?"

The little emperor no longer had the confidence and ambition he had just had. He only felt that his soul had floated out of his body. His legs were weak and he staggered back four or five steps before sitting down on the ground.

"Defeated? How could the Imperial Uncle be defeated? The Imperial Uncle is a Grandmaster, how could a Grandmaster be defeated?!"

"It's over, it's all over now, what should I do? You all should speak to me, what should I do now?"

Di Qing and the officials from the three provinces and six ministries were still confused. What should they do? They also wanted to know what they should do!

"Yeah, what should we do? The Regent was defeated?"

"Zhuge Wanwan was actually right about everything. She was actually right about everything. I should have listened to her from the beginning. I should have listened to her!"

"Yeah, if we had listened to Zhuge Wanwan, there wouldn't have been such a horrific disaster!"

"..."

The ministers who had been so arrogant just now were all dumbfounded now. They were very good at verbal battles and accusing others, but when it came to leading troops in battle, they were just a bunch of idiots.

"Zhuge Wanwan, yes, there is also Zhuge Wanwan..."

Prime Minister Di Qing was still relatively lucid. He immediately pointed at Di Qing and said to the young emperor, "Your Majesty, immediately send General Zhuge north to assemble an army to resist the Great Yan army. This is the only way to resolve the current dilemma."

When the little emperor heard this, he suddenly raised his head. Yes, there was also Zhuge Wanwan. She was the general, the head of the military officers, and had a very high status in the army.

If she takes action, she will definitely be able to stop Tang Yi.

However, before the little emperor could speak, Zhuge Wanwan curled her lips and sat back in her chair. "Even Huangfu Zong, a Grandmaster with 200,000 elite soldiers, was defeated by Tang Yi. What am I going to do? To die?!"

"Not to mention that I have no soldiers or power right now. If I win the battle, I'll just come back and be criticized by you all, watching you enjoy the good life. If I lose, I have to bear all the blame? Why?"

"This general is not your father, there is no need to spoil you!"

Zhuge Wanwan's voice was full of coldness. When the emperor and Huangfu Zong conspired to rebel, she opposed it with all her might. Unfortunately, Huangfu Zong deceived the emperor and did not listen to her advice.

Instead, in order to carry out their plan, they even plotted against the prince's life. Now that Huangfu Zong was killed by Tang Yi and the Northern Army was defeated, they thought of her again and wanted to push him to the front to block it.

Why? She wasn't their parents, so why should she consider a way out for them?!

"How dare you, Zhuge Wanwan, refuse?"

Di Qing was filled with shock and anger, and shouted, "You are the Supreme General of Nanjing. It is your responsibility to protect the territory and the people. How dare you negotiate with His Majesty?"

Zhuge Wanwan glanced at Di Qing calmly and said, "Isn't this your choice? I just respect your choice. Is this wrong?"

"While I was busy training troops on the border, you said I had the intention of rebellion and that I had to be on guard. You issued more than a dozen golden death warrants urging me to return to Kyoto."

"Now, you're blaming me for not caring about Nan Jing's life or death. Do you think that standing on the highest moral ground will free you from moral constraints?"

Di Qing and a group of ministers were immediately choked.

At the beginning, because they were afraid of Zhuge Wanwan, they fabricated countless charges to make the emperor feel uneasy about Zhuge Wanwan, and to develop a grudge against her, so they marginalized her and made her unemployed.

Now that the war is imminent, they want to push her to the front to prevent disaster. This is indeed immoral.

"Alright, put away your shameless faces and stop using some lame excuse like you're doing it for the sake of the people of the world and for the peace of Nanjing to kidnap me."

Zhuge Wanwan's gaze fell on the little emperor, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her beautiful eyes. "Your Majesty, if you want me to go north to fight the enemy, it's not impossible. I have two conditions."

"First, all the troops in the world are under my command. Even Huangfu Zong is dead. The 200,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Army have been completely wiped out. It is impossible for the remaining tens of thousands of remnants to stop Tang Yi."

"Second, huh..."

Zhuge Wanwan's face suddenly turned cold. He stared at Prime Minister Di Qing and said, "I want the heads of Prime Minister Di Qing, Minister of Revenue Zhao Ruhui, and Censor Yan Yuyu to be brought here as a sacrifice for the army."

"If Your Majesty agrees, I will immediately assemble my troops and prepare to march north, departing this afternoon."

"If Your Majesty does not agree, I will not force you."

After hearing what Zhuge Wanwan said, Di Qing and the others turned pale. Damn it, this woman is taking revenge for personal gain!

"Your Majesty, Zhuge Wanwan has no good intentions. You can't be fooled!"

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you. Please do not listen to Zhuge Wanwan's heartbreaking words."

"..."

Di Qing and his ministers immediately became anxious. If Di Qing had said such words in the past, they would have thought it was ridiculous. How could a crude warrior be worthy of competing with them?

But the situation is different now. The southern border is in danger of national destruction. At this time, for the emperor, nothing can be more important than keeping the southern border in demise.

Are their lives more important than Nanjing?

Sure enough, the emperor looked up at Zhuge Wanwan and said, "General, your request is reasonable and logical. I agree. However, I have a condition."

"General, the expedition to the north is too dangerous. All your families should stay in Kyoto! I will protect them. What do you think, General?"

Di Qing and his group fell to the ground in an instant, their faces as pale as paper.

Zhuge Wanwan smiled and said, "Deal. I will go and assemble the army right now. I will take the 100,000 soldiers from Kyoto with me. When I see the heads of Di Qing and others stuck on the battle flag, I will set off."

"Well, that's it. I'll take my leave."
