The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

"Cough cough cough..."

Seeing that Li Jize was only busy drinking and ignored her sighs, the empress finally started coughing.

really……

Li Jize finally noticed her!

Turning back, he looked at the empress and said only one thing, "Your Majesty! It's cold, and we're on the lake. Please take care of yourself!"

Ah this...

The empress was also confused. She sighed for a long time. What was going on? Wasn’t he going to ask?

I just coughed a little and just took care of my health.

Brother Ze, you have changed! In the past, whenever she was worried, he would be the first to care and ask about her.

But now...

In desperation, seeing that Li Jize did not ask proactively, the empress could only lead the topic in this direction herself.

"Alas, the world is in chaos now. The rebels have captured the Central Plains and are about to march north, while the barbarians are about to march south. Under this double attack... How can I take care of myself? How can I feel at peace?"

In the past, General Ze of Tian Ce would have slammed the table and said, "Xi'er, don't panic! Let me go and destroy them!"

But now...

Li Jize just said lightly, "Oh!"

Empress: “???”

Huh? That's it?

No! Let’s not talk about our childhood sweetheart relationship. What about the so-called king worries and the minister humiliates! King humiliates and the minister dies?

I'm so worried, and in the end he's just going to say "Oh"?

The empress gnashed her teeth in anger, but she gritted her teeth and suppressed her rage. She sighed and continued, "Thinking back then, Brother Ze was so majestic! Three thousand wolf riders dared to cut through a barbarian army of 100,000! That single battle established his reputation as a Tiance General. This time, I believe Brother Ze can create another miracle, defeating the barbarians and the rebels without a single piece of armor remaining!"

Li Jize: "..."

The barbarians and bandits were routed to pieces? Not a single one of them remained?

What I mean is, after defeating the barbarians, I have to help you defeat the bandits.

The barbarians today are not the same barbarians as before, and the bandits today are not the same bandits as before. They have swept up many refugees, and their number is said to be as high as millions.

What to fight with?

Besides, haven’t I been cheated enough by you bitches before?

And help you fight bandits and barbarians?

That's not what you said when you sunbathed me to death.

After I help you defeat all your enemies, will I be torn into pieces by five horses or cut into pieces by a thousand cuts next time?

Thinking of this, Li Jize could only reply with a forced smile, "I will do my best! I will definitely do my best!"

Empress: "..."

What does "try your best" mean? He used to say "definitely"!

Thinking of this, the empress picked up a piece of cake and placed it in Li Jize's bowl, saying, "Brother Ze, I know that I made mistakes in the past! But you have to understand that I am the emperor, and many things I have to do are sometimes beyond my control."

The implication is that I have made a mistake! This is already the biggest concession.

As the emperor, the most noble person in the world, I have bowed my head and apologized to you. You should also be generous and forgive me!

If it were the ancient times, the emperor of this era would be able to be respectful to the wise and humble, apologize to you and admit his mistakes.

Even if you were imprisoned for decades, you still had to be grateful and serve the emperor until your death.

But Li Jize is a modern man!

You only lost your life, but I lost the dignity of an emperor, right?

Besides, is this what she calls admitting her mistake? She said she made a mistake!

The empress didn't really know that she was wrong, she just knew that she was about to die and her kingdom would be lost.

and so……

In response to the empress's apology, Li Jize's choice was of course to forgive her!

then……

Turning around, he continued to recruit soldiers and waited until the world was in chaos, then he rebelled and overthrew the empress.

This is what Lao Liu does!

"Your Majesty, I dare not resent you! This time, I will fight to the death and swear to stop the barbarians' attack!"

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting!

Since the empress wanted to compete with Li Jize in acting, his acting was even more exaggerated, and he cried tears without hesitation, with snot and tears streaming down his face.

Wow! This operation shocked the empress.

no……?

Brother Ze never cried before. He always said, "Men don't shed tears easily!"

But now...

Could it be that her apology just now made Li Jize open up and let out his anger?

But why does he always call himself "minister"?

Thinking of this, the empress decided to continue testing the waters. She said, "Since that's the case, Brother Ze, I wonder how you're going to deal with the barbarians heading south?"

"Your Majesty! I think it's best to make a feint to the east and attack in the west! Let's lead the enemy into a trap!"

"A feint to the east and attack in the west? Leading someone into a trap?"

The empress looked puzzled. Although Li Jize finally told her his plan, she couldn't understand it.

Li Jize smiled!

"Your Majesty, we can use the canal! Transport the Northern Liang Wolf Cavalry to Jinmenwei and wait. Once the barbarian army advances, they'll have to attack the city to plunder. As long as the attacked city can hold out for three days, the enemy will never expect us to attack from the east instead of the south. Then, we'll attack halfway through, neither advancing nor descending, and then surprise the enemy! They'll be defeated."

Ok?

It has to be said that Li Jize's words instantly opened the empress's eyes.

Classic mobile warfare, followed by a sneak attack from behind!

but……

She asked in return, "If that's the case, why don't we defend the border and keep the enemy out of the country?"

No matter how ingenious the plan is, we are still fighting on the territory of Da Qi!

The enemy has already attacked the city. How can you stop them from coming in to attack?

Li Jize: "..."

This woman has no clue! No matter how powerful the Beiliang Wolf Riders are, they only have 3,000 men.

Moreover, apart from this army, does Da Qi have any other army capable of fighting?

The border is so long that the enemy can break through the wall and enter from anywhere. How many soldiers do you need to defend it?

Besides, apart from the Beiliang Wolf Cavalry, does the Great Qi have any other army that can fight against the barbarians in the field?

Li Jize had no intention of actually fighting the barbarians. His only goal was to trick the emperor and then trick the Northern Liang Wolf Riders so he could lead his army around. Then, along the canal, the barbarian army would arrive.

Go around?

Haha! He went around with a hammer!

He led his army directly to Liangshan, joined forces with the musketeers, and raised the flag of rebellion.

"Your Majesty, if I lead my army north to support them, it will be too late anyway! Moreover, the barbarians are skilled in horseback archery. With only 3,000 Beiliang Wolf Riders, it would be difficult to defeat them head-on in a field battle. The only way to win is to circumvent them and use the city as bait!"

Li Jize said it again firmly, and his attitude was as if if you don't agree! Go find someone else!

The empress thought about it for a moment and it seemed that she had no other choice but this one option.

but……

Walking along the canal, the empress thought of something else. It seemed that the liar Boss Zhang also disappeared on the canal, right?
