I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 833 Let me and Shen Changgong duel?

Wenbo stood up and delivered a fatal blow.

"Your Majesty, according to Daqian law, anyone who collaborates with the enemy, treasons against the state, withholds military reports, or deceives superiors and subordinates is guilty of treason and deceiving the emperor. They should be executed along with their entire clan, and the principal offender should be subjected to death by slicing!

For the sake of the state, I request Your Majesty to order the execution of this beast as a warning to others!"

Hearing this, the general turned his head, stared at Wenbo, and said with gritted teeth,

"Are you worthy enough to talk to me about serving the country? The safety of the eighty counties of Daqian rests on my shoulders.

Stir it up, stir it up, stir it up as much as you can, stir it up until the world is turned upside down, until the soldiers fighting on the front lines have no military supplies, stir the people into panic, stir it up until my Great Yan is destroyed, and then you will be satisfied!"

Wenbo said proudly with a righteous look on his face,

"At this time, you still refuse to admit your crime?"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order! Execute all nine generations of your clan!"

Emperor Qian was also furious at this time and shouted,

"Come here, strip the Grand Marshal of all his duties, take him to prison, and interrogate him strictly!

Also, send someone to his home to search for evidence of his affair with the Yan army!"

"According to the order!"

The general was dragged out by the guards.

"Your Majesty! I am wronged!"

"Your Majesty is clear!"

"The whole court is filled with treacherous officials! The Great Qian Dynasty will surely perish, as the whole court is filled with beasts!"

……

The general was dragged away, and the eunuch asked cautiously,

"Your Majesty, are you still going to read this letter?"

"Read! I want to see what else Shen Changgong can say!"

"Yes!"

"Brother Qian Huang is unworthy of the name of a gentleman. If the Great Qian nation is destroyed in the future, the reputation of the Qian people as rats will be infamous for thousands of years.

But I have admired Emperor Qian for a long time and I cannot bear to damage his reputation.

What I don’t want to see even more is the heavy casualties among the people and soldiers of both armies.

Therefore, for the sake of the people of the world, for the sake of the soldiers of the two armies, for the reputation of my brother Emperor Qian and the future honor and disgrace of the people of Qian, I have come up with a good compromise.

Tomorrow, the Great Yan army will be at the gates of the city. My brother Emperor Qian and I will set up a ring outside the city and have a one-on-one duel.

If I win, my brother Emperor Qian will immediately order the entire nation to surrender, and I will also be responsible for the treatment of my brother Emperor Qian and all the officials of the royal family.

If my brother Emperor Qian wins, I will lead my troops to retreat and will not invade the Qian Kingdom for ten years.

Brother Qian Huang is a gentleman. This is a gentleman's battle between us, and it is also a battle to restore the honor of the Qian Kingdom.

I believe that Brother Qian Huang will not be a coward, nor will he use underhanded tricks to win.

Likewise, this king will not do that either.

At that time, I will be waiting for Brother Qian's arrival at the foot of Yugui City.

I hope you can reply.

Shen Changgong, Prince of Lanling of Great Yan."

When the letter was finally read, everyone was stunned.

what?

Let our Majesty go and fight Shen Changgong in a duel?

Cut each other with knives?

Everyone thought it was ridiculous, but some people took it seriously.

A simple-minded general stood up and said,

"Your Majesty! We are not afraid of him. We promised him that when they come, Your Majesty will take the knife and chop off Shen Changgong's head with one stroke. Then we will win!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the court had question marks in their heads.

Even what Emperor Qian was going to say was forgotten because he was so frightened by him that he got a stitch in the side.

"You mean to say that I should take the knife and fight Shen Changgong to the death?"

"Yes, Your Majesty will surely triumph and chop off Shen Changgong's head!"

"Can I beat him?"

"Why can't I beat him? Shen Changgong has one head and two hands, and you also have one head and two hands, so why can't I beat him?

Your Majesty, we are not afraid. Let's fight him and show him how powerful you are!"

Emperor Qian stared intently into the general's eyes, hoping to see a hint of ridicule towards him, but the general's eyes were sincere and filled with pure stupidity.

Well, he's not laughing at me, he's just being stupid.

"That Shen Changgong is known as Dayan's number one expert, don't you know?

Don’t you know how he made his fortune and rose to power?

The Emperor of Yan was selecting a husband. There were a thousand people on the parade ground, and only more than a hundred were left after being killed. Then Shen Changgong took a knife and killed more than a hundred people by himself!

Aren't those more than a hundred people just one head and two hands? How come they can't beat Shen Changgong?

At the Yan State Martial Arts Conference, Shen Changgong defeated all the martial arts masters in the entire Yan State alone.

In attacking cities and destroying countries, Shen Changgong led the troops and killed countless enemies.

What about me?

I am over forty years old, have never practiced martial arts, and have lived a life of luxury. You want me to fight with a martial arts master in his twenties?

You just want me to die, right?"

The general was startled when he heard this, and after thinking carefully, he said,

"It seems like I really can't beat him, what should I do?"

"What should I do? Don't you think I've been embarrassed enough? Shen Changgong is deliberately humiliating me! Who cares about him? Just do your own thing!"

After saying this, Emperor Qian continued to hold his forehead with his hands in pain.

An official stood up and said,

"Your Majesty, the Grand Marshal has been imprisoned, but the position of Grand Marshal is responsible for military affairs. Now is the time for war. Your Majesty should select a new Grand Marshal as soon as possible."

Another official said,

"The Grand Marshal is only being held temporarily. Whether he has committed any crime or not still needs to be tried. Are you so eager to take the position?"

"Who will handle military affairs then? Will you handle it?"

Seeing that the ministers were about to quarrel again, Emperor Qian waved his hands helplessly and said,

"Stop arguing, shut up, let Qiu Chu take over the position of Grand Marshal temporarily, and adjourn the court."

Director Qiu is the one who just stood up and stabbed the general in the back.

How could Emperor Qian not understand that this was a factional dispute? Qiu Chu was actually from another faction, the Gongyang family. However, he no longer trusted the Taiwei's faction, so he could only choose someone from the Gongyang family and entrust him with important tasks.

Fortunately, Wenbo and the Gongyang family are not in the same group. They are a neutral party and can still be trusted.

After the court was dismissed, Qiu Chu had a smug smile on his face. He was already thinking about how to ask Prime Minister Gongyang Chun for credit and ask the Prime Minister to help him say a few good words in front of the Yan people.

……

The struggle in the court of Qian Kingdom is a life-and-death struggle, and the same is true on the front line.

Shi Liang strengthened the defense of Qingshui Pass and transferred half of the troops there to guard against the attack of the Yan army.

The Yan army did not attack, but just bombarded.

One after another, shells streaked across the sky and landed on the city walls, blowing up countless pieces of rubble and causing heavy damage.

Some shells fell directly behind the city wall, and the army stored there also suffered many casualties, and screams could be heard continuously.

The walls of the pass are thicker than those of the city, because these passes were originally built to defend against enemy troops. Not only are the walls tall, but there are also urn cities, which make it a completely solid military fortress.

Nie Bei led the Flying Eagle Army and stood at the front line, watching the enemies on the city wall in front scream.

In the last battle, the Flying Eagle Army did not participate, so this time, the Flying Eagle Army participated as the vanguard and made the first contribution.

Seeing that the bombing was almost over, Nie Bei ordered the entire army to attack.

The gates of the city wall were opened on both sides, and cannons were placed on both sides to directly smash the gates of the city wall.
