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

Chapter 121 Gongsun Wan'er's Sacrifice Bet

Three days later, in the afternoon, the army finally arrived at the northern part of ** City.

The densely packed army of 100,000 stretched out endlessly, making the people on the city walls terrified.

Fortunately, the imperial army did not launch an attack immediately, but instead set up camp outside the city, arranged defenses, and cut down trees and mined stones.

After the central military tent was set up, Shen Changgong sent people to the foot of the city to read the imperial edict.

The messenger arrived at the city gate, opened the imperial edict and read it aloud.

The imperial edict first enumerated the mistakes made by Prince Rui and required Prince Rui and the governor of ** County to go to the capital immediately to be judged by His Majesty himself.

And they demanded that the city gates be opened so that the army could go to the south to resist the invading enemy.

The result is predictable. King Rui and the governor of ** County are both helpless.

Are you kidding me? You've already laid siege to the city, and I'm supposed to tie my hands and go to the palace to apologize? Stretch out my neck for you to chop off? I'm not a fool.

Everyone knows the outcome, but the necessary procedures must be followed. After all, Shen Changgong is not an invading army, but a royal army of the imperial court who has been ordered to capture criminals. He still has to read the imperial decree and tell the soldiers that what they are supporting now is rebellion, which is wrong. They are against the imperial army, and any courage to take action is a rebellion.

After the psychological pressure was relieved, the envoy returned to the camp triumphantly. From beginning to end, no arrows were fired from the city walls.

"Lecher, what are we waiting for if we don't attack the city? Are you afraid?"

Gongsun Wan'er sat on a chair in the central military tent, looking at Shen Changgong and asking questioningly, not knowing whether he was really stupid or was deliberately looking for trouble and wanted to be spanked.

Shen Changgong looked at the map and said expressionlessly,

"We are building ladders, assembling catapults, setting up camp, collecting stone bullets, preparing defenses to prevent the enemy from attacking us while we are still unstable, and cooking. Only when we are full can we have the strength to work.

understand? "

"Oh."

Gongsun Wan'er said gloomily.

Shen Changgong continued,

"Fighting a war is not easy. Baggage, equipment, food, morale, and the deployment of troops are all essential.

Do you think war is just a group of people walking tirelessly, rushing forward in a mighty force, setting up ladders and starting to attack the city, and then a group of people rushing forward and breaking the city?

This isn't called fighting, it's called courting death, it's called mindless, cool writing."

“What is a brainless cool article?”

"It's the kind of book someone with your IQ would write."

"I feel like you're scolding me."

"You are really smart."

"So how are you going to fight this time? We don't have time. Prince Ning is coming here with a mighty army of 300,000 from Kun State, under the pretext of clearing the court of corrupt officials.

They say you are a treacherous minister who deceived His Majesty, killed innocent people, and harmed loyal officials..."

"Okay, okay, there's nothing new."

Shen Changgong waved his hand to interrupt her and sneered,

"In the end, the princes who rebelled always used the name of purging the imperial court. It's been used so much that no one would believe it anymore.

He purged the emperor's court and did not unite with the other kings to go to the capital. Instead, he invited foreign enemies into the country. This was not just rebellion, it was treason and he was kneeling down and acting like a dog to foreigners.

Does he really think that the civil and military officials and the common people are blind? He came to power illegitimately and is invaded by foreign enemies. Who would obey him?

Besides, with only 300,000 soldiers and horses, you want to destroy our Great Yan?

joke! "

Shen Changgong's domineering sneer made Gongsun Wan'er feel refreshed, and the cushion of the chair couldn't help but become a little wet.

She quickly suppressed the throbbing in her heart and said in a cold and aloof manner,

"Oh, that's easy to say, can you really defeat Kun's army?"

"Do you dare to make a bet?"

Shen Changgong's eyes sparkled and he smiled brightly.

When Gongsun Wan'er heard the word "bet", her whole body trembled. She was very sensitive.

"What are you gambling?"

she asked cautiously.

"Let's bet on whether we can defeat Kun's army this time."

"I mean the bet."

Gongsun Wan'er reiterated.

Shen Changgong thought for a moment and said,

"Well, I can beat you anytime, anywhere now, and you still have a bet to call me master, so it seems you don't have anything to give me.

Forget it, it’s worthless, there’s really nothing left.”

"Who are you calling worthless?"

Gongsun Wan'er slammed the table and stood up, gritting her teeth.

Tu Queling on the side sneered repeatedly, his eyes full of contempt.

She was very happy as long as she could see Gongsun Wan'er being humiliated.

Gongsun Wan'er continued,

"Who said I have nothing to bet on? I was given to you by His Majesty a long time ago, but we've never consummated our marriage. If you can win this time, I'll be at your beck and call, and I'll sleep with you every night."

Shen Changgong was shocked and asked,

"What about during the day?"

"You still want daytime?!"

"Alright, alright, I accept the bet. When I win, just wait and see how I torture you."

"Humph, if you can't win..."

"If we can't win, both you and I will die. What else is there to say?"

Gongsun Wan'er then realized that she seemed to have suffered a loss.

It seemed that if Shen Changgong won, he could sleep with her at will, but if he lost, he would die anyway, and she would have to die with him.

I lost so much money because I was impulsive!

Gongsun Wan'er stomped her feet in anger, turned around and walked out with her little butt twisted.

Tu Que Ling couldn't help but ask,

"Your Highness, you taught me before that women should respect themselves, but Gongsun Wan'er put her body on the line. This is too self-deprecating. Why didn't you say anything to her?"

"She was originally my maid, so it was only natural for her to sleep with me. Now it's just a little fun, and it's quite amusing to bicker with her.

And I didn’t think of her as a woman.”

"Ah? Then what do you take her for?"

After Shen Changgong thought for a while, he actually said in a questioning tone,

"A pet that can entertain me?"

Tu Que Ling: ???

abnormal!

So perverted!

I need to stay away from this person from now on.

No wonder he doesn’t like me and doesn’t sleep with me. It turns out it’s because I’m not perverted enough.

Big shots really know how to have fun.

"Go and make sure the bombs are ready. We're going to use them to attack the city gate tonight."

"As ordered!"

Tu Queling fled in panic.

……

**City, Prince Rui's Palace.

Unlike Shen Changgong who was relaxed and comfortable, the county magistrate Zhao Lu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, what should we do? Shen Changgong's army of 100,000 is already at the gates of the city. How can we resist them? Please think of a solution quickly."

Prince Rui sat on the chair, not panicking at all. He took a sip of tea from the teacup and said leisurely,

"Master Zhao, calm down. Why are you panicking? If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. How can Shen Changgong still cause trouble?"

"Oh, my Lord, Shen Changgong is one thing, but we still have over 300,000 troops in the south. The coalition forces of Kun Kingdom and Prince Ning will arrive in four or five days.

By then we will inevitably be attacked from both sides. What should we do?

There are over 300,000 people in the south and 100,000 in the north. Our little ** city...

oops! "
