You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?

At the military camp, more than a dozen generals stood behind Ying Wuji.

Qu Yi, seeing this scene, was burning with anger.

Unable to contain himself, he exclaimed, "Absurd! Truly absurd! Our ancestors worked hard for generations to accumulate this family legacy, only to have it squandered by you fools. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families will decline. How can you live with yourselves?"

"The Qu, Jing, and Zhao families?"

Ying Wuji snorted, "If the Kingdom Chu falls, who will give the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families a way out? Even if we give up these five cities, will it bring prosperity to the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families? Surrendering five cities today, ten cities tomorrow, and then we can finally rest. The Qian army is already approaching. The land of Chu is limited, but the Qian's desire is insatiable. They will continue to invade, and the more we resist, the more aggressive they become."

He turned around, took a deep breath, and said, "You are all the elite of Chu, and the five western cities are rare strongholds of Chu. If we cannot defend them today, what future do we have? Do you want to lie down and die, or do you want to fight for the future of our descendants?"

"Right!"

Finally, a deputy general couldn't help but speak up, turning to Qu Yi and saying, "Marshal Qu! Our Chu rose from the wilderness, from a small tribe to the great nation it is today, all thanks to the unity and hard work of the Mi clan and other tribes. We did not achieve this by being timid and protecting our own interests. Our ancestors were fearless, so why can't we be? I think it's more disrespectful to our ancestors to be cowards than to face the danger head-on!"

"Right!"

"Right!"

"I think so too!"

The generals in the camp echoed one after another.

Qu Yi was so angry that he trembled all over, pointing at Ying Wuji and stammering, "You, Ying Wuji, have been lurking for many days just to sow discord and self-destruct our foundation. Your intentions are truly malicious!"

Ying Wuji couldn't help but sneer, "Since I came to Chu, I have never been involved in the reform, but today I want to ask you all, do you want to change the laws of our Chu in the future, or do you want to defend the laws of Qian?"

With that, he turned and left.

Change the laws of Chu.

Or defend the laws of Qian?

This was a choice that didn't need to be made.

Many people made their choice through their actions, quickly following Ying Wuji.

"Shh..."

Nan Gongyu gestured to Qu Yi with disdain in his eyes, then quickly followed.

Although he wasn't fighting Ji Tong this time, he still enjoyed it. The Qi army was definitely not weak in the past, but facing the elite troops trained with top resources, they were no match.

For more than ten days in a row, it was just a series of easy victories, and the Qi army was in a sorry state. But they still didn't retreat, causing him to continue to win easily.

It was satisfying to win easily, but it was getting tiresome.

Fortunately, Ying Wuji ordered the main force of General Zhang's army to continue to win easily at the Chu-Qi border, while he led ten thousand elite troops to come.

Compared to the Qian army, ten thousand was not many.

But in his eyes, it was enough.

After winning too many easy victories, it was time to face some challenges, or else his strength would decline.

The Qian army was close in strength to Ji Tong's Black Armor Corps, so it was a good opportunity to practice for fighting Ji Tong.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

After Ying Wuji mounted his horse, tens of thousands of soldiers drew their swords.

After the oath, the somewhat low morale quietly rose.

It wasn't that Ying Wuji was particularly good at sowing discord, but the scene of the battle against the demons was unforgettable.

They all remembered.

Ying Wuji was the creator of the Miracle of Yucheng, and the ten thousand elite troops behind him were the same ones he had led before.

At that time, they had been ridiculed by the upper echelons of their families and had been nothing more than clowns behind the hero.

This time.

They didn't want to be clowns.

They wanted to be heroes themselves.

Even with these ten thousand elite troops, the strength of Chu was far inferior.

But...

Miracles could happen in Yucheng.

Why not in Dancheng?

"Boom!"

The city gates opened wide.

Ying Wuji pointed his spear to the sky, his deep voice reaching everyone's ears, "We will avenge our past humiliations today!"

The voices of the Chu army were deafening.

"Avenge our past humiliations!"

"Kill all the Qian army!"

"Crush Ying Wuque!"

...

"This is outrageous!"

"This is outrageous!"

Ying Wuque was furious, "Bai Jie, why are you stopping me? Ying Wuji has been beating the drum on the city wall for days. If I climb the city wall, I can definitely make him fall, and once he dies, the Chu army will surely collapse!"

He was genuinely excited and angry.

Ying Wuji had appeared, indicating that he wanted to fight him.

But his appearance was so unreasonable, just serving as a mere drummer for the Chu army!
