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

Chapter 446 The Queen Stays

After these words were spoken, the whole audience was stunned again.

What the hell? The Queen leads the army into battle?

Are you kidding me?

Since ancient times, there have only been cases of emperors leading troops to war in person, but how could there be any precedent for the empress leading troops to war?

The Emperor of Qi reacted immediately, stood up and said loudly,

"Queen, please stop messing around. How could it be your turn to lead the troops into battle? It's outrageous for a girl like you to do this.

I know you have always wanted to lead troops to fight, but you can't act recklessly at this juncture.

Is it possible that in our great Qi, there is not a single man left in the whole country?"

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads in shame.

At this point in time when the country was destroyed and the family was ruined, no one of them was willing to stand up and lead the troops to fight, but the queen stood up instead. It was really a shame.

Yu Ziling argued with reason,

"What's wrong with being a woman? A woman from Yan State can be an emperor.

The Queen of Kun State can preside over state affairs and now serves as the Right Prime Minister of Yan State, holding a high position of power.

Isn’t Yang Hongying, the descendant of the Yang family in the Yan army, also a female general?

My father, Yu Xiao, is a famous general of the Great Qi. I have been learning military tactics and battle formations and practicing martial arts since I was a child.

Is there anyone in this court who is a match for me?

Since no one is willing to stay, then I will stay. I don’t believe how strong the State of Yan can be.

The soldiers of the Great Qi are no pushovers either!"

"you……"

The Emperor of Qi was extremely angry and pointed at Yu Ziling and shouted,

"No, absolutely not, I can't agree to that!"

"Your consent is not necessary!"

Yu Ziling pulled out a golden hairpin, pressed it against her throat, and said,

“I can’t possibly go with you. Even if you let someone else take command, I will stay and kill the enemy with my sword.

I am in Linzi. The soldiers will see that the queen is with them, fighting bravely. This will inspire morale and make them fight to the death.

I can also fight, and I will never be a drag.

No matter what you say, I must stay.

Even if you kidnap me, I can still commit suicide in front of you!"

The Emperor of Qi knew his queen too well. She would rather break than bend. If he did not follow her will, she would really do anything.

"Oh, Queen, please put your hands down quickly, let's discuss this..."

"There's no room for negotiation. Just tell me whether you agree or not, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I agree. I agree with you, okay?"

Hearing this, the Queen put down the golden hairpin and said,

"There is also a benefit for me to stay here, and that is to let you know that your queen is still fighting bloody battles in the north. You should not think about living in peace in a corner, but always remember to recover the lost land and drive out the Yan barbarians!

Even if I die, it will only make you hate the State of Yan even more, and you will go to war with the people of Yan to avenge me."

Hearing this, all the ministers burst into tears of gratitude and praised the queen for her wisdom.

However, the queen only sneered in response to them.

Because up to now, none of these people have said that they would stand up and fight the powerful enemy together with her.

These people may feel ashamed or guilty, but they do not have the courage to stay and die.

The young Emperor Qi seemed to have aged several decades in an instant, and sighed,

"Queen, how many soldiers do you want?"

"Can I leave all my troops behind?"

Yu Ziling sneered.

"This……"

The Emperor of Qi hesitated. If he left all his troops behind, who would escort them?

Seeing this, the Queen despised the Emperor even more and said,

"Forget it, let's keep half of it, 100,000 elite central troops and 50,000 local troops, and divide them equally.

You take your significant other with you.”

"it is good."

The Emperor of Qi agreed immediately.

After all, the queen was going to stay and fight, and he really didn't have the face to take all the elite troops away.

Next, the Emperor of Qi issued an order to his ministers, asking them to allocate half of the troops tomorrow, and then each household should go back and pack up their things and set out early the next morning.

At the same time, the countless treasury treasures must be taken away and cannot be left to the Yan people.

As for the food, they decided to take half away and leave half.

After all, the Queen's army also needs to eat, and so do the people in the city.

Qi had a large population, abundant money and grain, and was a very powerful state.

The only country that could compare with Qi in this respect was probably Daqian in the southernmost part. Not only was Daqian stronger than Qi in these aspects, its territory was also much larger.

After settling these matters, the Emperor of Qi saw that it was getting late, so he asked everyone to go back and rest.

He and the queen also returned to the bedroom.

"Queen, do you really intend to stay?"

Emperor Qi is still making his final effort.

Yu Ziling sneered and said,

"I have already issued a military order in front of the entire court. How can I go back on my word? What? Do I have the right to refuse to stay just because I say so now?"

"Of course, you can follow me if I say a word."

"I won't leave. I'm going to stay and fight the Yan army to buy you some time. You guys can go now."

When the queen said this, her tone was calm.

The Emperor of Qi looked at the Queen, his heart broken and he even shed tears.

"Why are you crying? You are the emperor. Everyone in the country can cry, but you can't. You must let everyone see your tough side. If you are weak, those ministers will bully you to death!"

Yu Ziling looked at the weak Emperor Qi with such intensity that her teeth were about to break.

But there is nothing to do.

The Emperor of Qi took her hand and begged,

"Empress, the day after tomorrow, I will lead the court and the army south. Tonight, can you please…"

As soon as he stuck out his butt, the queen knew what he was going to fart.

Unfortunately, the Queen was extremely disappointed with the weak Emperor Qi. She immediately pulled her hand back and snorted coldly,

"Don't even think about it. If you can lead the troops back and I happen to be alive, I'll give it to you.

If you remain in seclusion in the south and have no intention of recovering the lost territory, I will die here, and you will not have to worry about me."

The Queen's meaning was very simple. If the Emperor of Qi could really prepare his troops, form alliances, and recover lost territories, then she would definitely look at him differently.

By then, if she is still alive, it would be okay to give it to him because he deserves it.

However, both she and Emperor Qi knew that after this separation, her hope of survival was almost zero.

If it could be held, the Emperor of Qi would stay and defend it with his 300,000 troops.

Why bother running away?

Even an army of 300,000 couldn't hold the city, and the queen with 150,000 men couldn't hold it either.

"Queen...Queen..."

The Emperor of Qi burst into tears.

Yu Ziling looked indifferent and said slowly,

"Don't worry, if the day ever comes when the enemy breaks into the city, I will commit suicide and will never be humiliated by the enemy."

"But... I would rather you survive!"

Emperor Qi looked at his queen with reluctance in his eyes.
