Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 777 Procrastination
The cavalry of the Chinese Empire were equipped with localized hot weapons, and naturally they could not be resisted by cold weapons.

Once the army is defeated, it will only be beaten passively and will have no power to fight back.

Although Xuanyuan Lingyu learned a lot of military skills from her father, she couldn't use them at all, and it was also incompatible with her fiery temper.

Mobile warfare with hot weapons, as well as offensive and defensive warfare, have completely abandoned the original cold weapon warfare.

If it really comes down to strategy and tactics, the strategic vision possessed by Lu Hao, an expert in military tactics, is not something that generals like them can match.

Although Zheng Yuanjie saw through this strategy of a north-south pincer attack, the loss of both sides of the Qingshui River led to chaos in Zheng's country.

Many soldiers also learned about the indestructible artillery and the power of rifles in the Chinese Empire. They were so frightened that they fled for their lives, unwilling to make unnecessary sacrifices.

After all, with a weapon like this that can kill people hundreds of meters away, how can you fight others with a sword and a spear?

As the leader of the Zheng Kingdom, Zheng Yuanjie knew that he could not stop the Chinese Empire's army, so he could only delay the attack for a while.

"My lord, what I want to do is to send people to sue for peace to delay time."

A guy in black robe appeared beside him silently.

He is Kuang Wuya, the national preceptor of Zheng State, from the Guangming Cult in the Western Regions. However, he likes to wear a black robe, as if he is afraid that others will know his existence.

Ever since Lu Hao killed Ling Shitong, the protective priest of the Guangming Cult, the Guangming Cult has listed Lu Hao as an enemy of the religion. If anyone is willing to take off Lu Hao's head, he will directly inherit Ling Shitong's position and become the protective priest.

Although he also wanted to become a protective priest, he still knew himself and was unwilling to die on his own.

It is naturally not an easy thing for him to stay here and become the national counselor of Zheng State.

As the largest light religion in the Western Region, it is natural to spread the gospel of God to all parts of the Western Region, and then influence the policy direction of major dynasties through religious forms.

This Kuangwuya was not a fool. He saw through Zheng Yuanjie's intention at a glance, which was to delay time and wait for reinforcements.

That's why he came up with such a move to seek peace.

"Now that war has been declared, it may be difficult to seek peace!"

Zheng Yuanjie naturally thought about this too.

"Master, it is said that Emperor Yongtai was lustful. Jin and Shu sacrificed Princess Heshuo and Princess Furong, so they got his protection. If we also sacrificed a princess, maybe this matter would be solved. Talked.”

Kuangwuya said solemnly.

"Sending a princess away is a trivial matter, but now that Emperor Yongtai has returned to Yandi City, thousands of miles away, I'm afraid our Zheng Kingdom will perish before our marriage team reaches Yandi City."

Zheng Yuanjie looked bitter.

"The veteran has an intuition that Emperor Yongtai has arrived in the Western Regions. Otherwise, the navy of the Chinese Empire would not be able to suddenly attack Qingwan Port."

Kuang Wu Ya boldly guessed.

"Then you mean..."

Zheng Yuanjie's eyes contracted.

"Send someone to release the news, saying that the king is willing to have good relations with the Chinese Empire and is willing to let the most beautiful princess of the Zheng Kingdom marry Emperor Yongtai. Let's see his reaction?"

Kuangwuya added.

"What if Emperor Yongtai also wants Zheng to be merged into the Chinese Empire?"

Zheng Yuanjie asked, thinking of the worst case scenario.

"As long as Emperor Yongtai is willing to talk, our delaying strategy will be successful. Once the reinforcements from the Zhou Dynasty and Xixia Dynasty arrive, we can fall out with him."

Kuangwu Yayin said with a smile.

"But which princess should I give him?"

Zheng Yuanjie asked again.

"Master, I'm afraid it's up to you to decide this."

Kuangwuya responded with a grimace.

"I have three princesses waiting to be married. They are all beautiful. Who should I let face the devil Emperor Yongtai?" Zheng Yuanjie said to himself.

Seeing that his plan was adopted, Kuangwu Ya retreated quietly.

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, the voice of the Lord Zheng came from the palace.

The leader of the Zheng Kingdom is willing to let the ninth princess Zheng Xinyue marry the Yongtai Emperor of the Chinese Empire. The marriage can exchange for peace between the two countries and prevent the people from suffering.

Of course, the leader of the Zheng Kingdom reviewed his mistakes and said that he should not have provoked the ethnic minorities in the Chinese Empire to rebel.

The general meaning is that the leader of the Zheng Kingdom has realized his mistake and is willing to let the ninth princess marry Lu Hao in exchange for the Chinese Empire withdrawing its troops.

Although this news has been released, there is no news about Emperor Yongtai yet, so the news can only be sent to Qingwan Port.

When General Ding Rumo learned the news, he could only send a message to Lu Hao through the Meiyue Clan.

It's getting dark!
The first main force of the Imperial Central Army was resting on a mountain road thirty kilometers away from Yancheng. This was also the last rest.

Because they are about to launch the first round of offensive when it gets dark, and they must take Yancheng in one go.

"Your Majesty, General Ding has news coming through."

The Meiyue clan members beside Xuanyuan Lingyu strode over.

"what news?"

Lu Hao thought something happened at Qingwan Port.

"Reporting to the emperor, it is said that the leader of the Zheng Kingdom issued a statement admitting his mistakes, and was willing to marry the ninth princess of the Zheng Kingdom to the emperor in exchange for peace, hoping that the Chinese Empire would withdraw its troops."

Report from the Meiyue Clan.

What?Marry a princess?In exchange for peace?retreat?
Lu Hao blinked, completely confused as to whether the leader of the Zheng Kingdom was out of his mind.
I have been ignoring warnings and going against the Chinese Empire. Now that the army is approaching, are you going to give in immediately?
"Hehehe...here comes another princess. Is the emperor's luck really good?"

Xuanyuan Lingyu sneered and joked.

"General Xuanyuan, what are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation?"

Lu Hao smiled awkwardly.

"Isn't it?"

Xuanyuan Lingyu asked rhetorically.

Lu Hao had a dark look on his face, turned to look at the Meiyue tribe, and said, "Tell General Ding to ignore it. I will pretend that I don't know about this."

"understood."

The Meiyue clan members left.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Guo wants to give you a princess. Do you think this battle still needs to be fought?"

Xuanyuan Lingyu deliberately disgusted him.

"Fight! Why not fight? The leader of the Zheng Kingdom knows that he is wrong. It is already too late. I said I will destroy the Zheng Kingdom, and I will definitely destroy the Zheng Kingdom!"

Lu Hao's attitude was very firm.

"If this is the case, Cao Ming, please pass on the order and the army will set off, aiming for Yancheng!"

Xuanyuan Lingyu turned to the deputy general and shouted an order.

"Yes, General!"

Cao Ming responded loudly.

He was an elite selected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs after passing the imperial examination. Later he served as Xuanyuan Lingyu's deputy general, and now he can basically take charge of his own affairs.

The first main army of the Chinese Empire set out again, and the sword pointed at Lincheng and Dancheng in the east of Zheng State.
