After being read, she became an empress by eating melons

The night was as dark as ink, deep and mysterious, covering the vast land. Youyue stood on the high ground, looking at the Great Zhou army camp in the distance, with a determined light in her eyes. She was wearing silver armor, standing tall, like an unshakable statue.

Youyue knew that this was a golden opportunity. The defense of the Great Zhou army camp had been broken due to the continuous fighting, and her army was well-rested and in high spirits. She could not miss this opportunity and had to strike decisively to deal a heavy blow to the Great Zhou army.

She turned to look at the soldiers behind her, and saw that their eyes were all shining with anticipation and excitement. She knew that they were all ready, just waiting for her order.

"Soldiers!" You Yue shouted loudly, her voice echoing in the night sky, "The Great Zhou army is exhausted and there are loopholes in the defense. It is a good time for us to attack. I order the entire army to attack and head straight for the Great Zhou camp!"

Following Youyue's order, the soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the earth. They rushed towards the Great Zhou military camp like a tide, with great momentum and unstoppable force.

The defenders of the Great Zhou military camp obviously did not expect Youyue to launch an attack at this time, and their commander was also missing. They picked up their weapons in panic, trying to resist the attack of Youyue's army.

However, Youyue's army was well-trained and coordinated, and they quickly broke through the outer defense line of the Great Zhou military camp.

In the fierce battle, Youyue led the charge bravely and fearlessly. She swung the long sword in her hand, and every swing of the sword was accompanied by a crisp sound of breaking through the air, as if even the air was cut in half by her. Her sword skills were sharp and swift, and every attack accurately hit the enemy's vital points, making it difficult for the enemy to resist.

Under her leadership, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and they charged forward more bravely. They were like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable, and forced the Great Zhou army to retreat step by step.

However, the Great Zhou army was large in number and well-trained. Although they were caught off guard by the Youyue army, they quickly stabilized their position and began to organize an effective counterattack.

Seeing this, Youyue couldn't help but think that it was not good. She knew that if she couldn't defeat the Great Zhou army quickly, once they stabilized their position, it would bring her great trouble. So, she decided to change her tactics and adopt a more radical attack method.

At her command, the soldiers quickly dispersed and attacked the Great Zhou army from different directions. At the same time, she also sent an elite team to go around the rear of the Great Zhou army and launch a sneak attack.

This move really worked. The Great Zhou army was caught off guard by the sudden attack of Youyue's army and was thrown into disarray. Youyue took the opportunity to lead the main force to launch a fierce charge, completely defeating the Great Zhou army.

After the battle, Youyue stood on the battlefield and looked into the distance. She saw the remnants of the Great Zhou army fleeing in panic, and a sense of heroism surged in her heart.

Inside the Great Zhou Palace.

At this moment, the hall was filled with a heavy and depressing atmosphere. The news of the defeat was like a huge rock, hitting the new emperor's heart hard, making him so angry that he almost lost his mind.

The new emperor sat on the dragon throne, holding the armrests tightly with both hands, his knuckles turned white from the force. His face was as pale as paper, but his eyes were burning with rage, as if he wanted to set the whole hall on fire. He stared angrily ahead, with a cold arc at the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to pour out all his anger.

"That bastard Li Yong actually ran away!" The new emperor's voice echoed in the empty hall, full of anger and disappointment. His voice trembled, and every word seemed to come from the deepest part of his heart, carrying endless pain and anger. He couldn't believe that Li Yong actually betrayed him at the critical moment, abandoned his troops, and only cared about his own life.

"How could he do this? How could he abandon his comrades and his court?" The new emperor's voice became more and more excited, his chest heaving violently like an enraged lion.

"Send someone to bring him back immediately! He must be tortured to death!" the new emperor roared, his voice echoing in the empty hall, making people shudder. He could not tolerate such betrayal and cowardice, he wanted Li Yong to pay a heavy price for his actions. He gave the order, asking the guards to act immediately and bring Li Yong back at all costs.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and the guards followed orders and began to hunt down Li Yong. However, Li Yong had already escaped, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace.

The new emperor was restless on the dragon throne, his heart filled with anger and anxiety. He could not imagine what kind of disaster would be brought to the Great Zhou if Li Yong was caught by the enemy. He must find Li Yong as soon as possible and bring him to justice to serve as a warning to others.

As night fell, the palace was brightly lit. The new emperor summoned all the civil and military officials in the hall and announced Li Yong's crimes to them.

The new emperor took a deep breath and continued, "I have decided to lead the troops myself. I don't believe that the enemy before us is so powerful!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of discussion in the hall. Some officials were worried about the safety of the new emperor and advised him to think twice before acting; some officials expressed their support for the new emperor's decision, believing that only by going to the battle in person could they boost morale and save the situation.

However, the new emperor was not affected by these discussions. He waved his hand firmly, signaling everyone to be quiet. Then, he issued a series of orders: requiring all officials to fully cooperate with the guards in the pursuit to ensure that Li Yong was captured; at the same time, strengthen the defense of the palace to prevent the enemy's sneak attack; and quickly prepare the materials and troops needed for the expedition.

The new emperor's order spread quickly throughout the palace like a flash of lightning. All the civil and military officials followed the order and began to get busy. The guards stepped up patrols and guards in the palace to ensure its safety; the civil officials were busy drafting documents, allocating supplies, and preparing the army; the craftsmen stepped up to repair the damaged weapons and equipment to ensure that the army would have sufficient combat effectiveness.

The new emperor was also busy in the hall. He personally checked the supplies and manpower needed for the expedition to ensure that there were no omissions or oversights. At the same time, he also summoned some experienced generals and counselors to discuss the strategy and tactics of the expedition with them.

After several days of busy work and preparation, the new emperor finally led the army to set out. He rode a tall horse, wore armor, held a long sword, and led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to the Dabai position.
