Prime Minister Chu coughed lightly.

"Your Highness, as far as I know, the Emperor has met with an unexpected accident in Hangu Pass. Half of the people in the court are disciples of the Chu family. Whether Your Highness can sit firmly on the throne is still up to the Chu family!"

"Pa~" Murong Yue slammed the table and stood up, looking at him coldly.

“Prime Minister Chu is so capable that he can capture Hangu Pass or relieve the impasse in Kyoto City and give the people a peaceful and prosperous world.” The scorching eyes seemed to stare a hole through Prime Minister Chu. He didn’t understand how such a person could assist three generations of kings. Could it be that he lost his way because he had been in a high position for so long?

Long Jingmo raised the corner of his lips and said, "The Prime Minister is not trying to step in and sit on the throne!" with a sarcastic tone. After the Pingnan Army is settled, he will definitely kill this old man to avenge his father.

Prime Minister Chu pointed a finger at Murong Yue and Long Jingmo, his voice trembling,

"You, you actually dare to treat me like this. Even Emperor Kangning has to respect me." After saying this, he started coughing violently. How could this hostage prince be different from before?

All the soldiers felt relieved when they saw Prime Minister Chu's old face changing from time to time. The Chu family's influence spread across every province and county of Daxia, making the land of Daxia seem like his own.

Seeing her grandfather being scolded, Chu Meiniang picked up the teapot on the table and walked towards Murong Yue with her eyes.

"Your Highness, please calm down. Grandpa is old and his words are inevitably biased. The important thing now is to repel the invasion and relieve the difficulties in Kyoto. Now the city of Kyoto is full of soldiers from the Red Flame Country. They kill the men of Great Xia and humiliate the women of Great Xia. The rest of the matters will be discussed later." Every word was precious and her voice was neither hurried nor slow, neither humble nor arrogant. One had to say that Chu Meiniang was a sensible person. She held the teapot to pour tea for Murong Yue.

"I'm not thirsty!" Murong Yue still had a cold tone, without even a glance.

Chu Meiniang stood where she was, without the slightest embarrassment, bowed with a smile, and returned to her original position.

Sun Chongwei stood up and said, "Your Highness, at the moment, repelling the enemy and relieving the difficulties in Kyoto is the most important thing. In the past few months, Kyoto's food and grass have been sent to other countries by the Chiyan Kingdom. The reason why they have been unable to capture the city for a long time is because they occupy Hangu Pass and have a constant supply of food and grass. Our food and grass still need to be dispatched from other states and counties, so it is particularly important to capture Hangu Pass."

Murong Yue's expression softened, and he looked at the sand table on the table, and said in a deep voice: "General Sun, I order you to lead 20,000 soldiers to attack the west side of Hangu Pass, General Chi to lead 20,000 soldiers to attack the east side of Hangu Pass, and I will lead the troops to attack the front!"

Sun Chongwei frowned slightly, "Your Highness, I have sent people to attack Hangu Pass for nearly a month and a half, but we have not been able to take it. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Our people can't get there at all. The power of bows and arrows and Zhuge Crossbows is completely ineffective!"

"I will give you and General Chi two cannons each. The power and range of cannons far exceed those of bows and crossbows!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Murong Yue pointed at the sand table and continued,

"General Menghe, I order you to lead 50,000 soldiers and four cannons. 10,000 will be stationed at Fenghuang Ridge in the east, 20,000 at Fengyangkou, and 20,000 at Hulao Pass. When the enemy flees to Fenghuang Ridge, pretend to retreat. When the enemy flees to Fengyangkou, fight with all your might. When the enemy flees to Hulao Pass, General Youwen will be there to strike again.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"General Wei, I order you to lead 50,000 soldiers to Tongguan. Just besiege it but don't attack it. This will create a sense of oppression for the enemy and make them afraid to support Hanguguan! In addition, everyone should send important items such as food and herbs to high places to prevent the enemy from blowing up the river dam!"

As the orders were passed down one by one, the soldiers admired Murong Yue even more. They didn't expect that this hostage prince, who was unknown, actually knew how to deploy troops. In just a few words, he explained the pros and cons of this battle and even responded to possible situations that might arise on the battlefield.

Prime Minister Chu saw that no one even looked at him, so he walked out of the tent angrily. It was true that a new emperor chooses new ministers. He hadn't even become the emperor yet, but they were already giving him the cold shoulder. As soon as he walked out of the tent, he met An Muxi's half-smiley eyes.

An Muxi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He had just recommended his granddaughter to the prince. He heard it clearly. The soldiers said that since this old man came to General Sun's military camp, he brought a large group of beautiful women with him. It turned out that he hated Queen Mother Chu and brought him up with her. Now his character has been directly downgraded to negative. There is not a single good person in the Chu family, from the old to the young, they are all indulged in lust. I don't know how the Queen Mother Chu was tortured and whether she picked beans. I really want to see it with my own eyes.

Prime Minister Chu walked in front of Mu Xi, paused for a moment, and continued walking forward, with Chu Zixiong and Chu Zili following behind him.

Not long after they walked away, Chu Meiniang caught up with them.

"Grandpa, wait for Mei Niang!" Her voice was so tender and sweet that it made people feel itchy.

Mu Xi turned his head and found that Chu Meiniang was extremely beautiful, charming but not vulgar. No wonder she was called Meiniang, she was likable, especially her big dark eyes, which were like a pool of autumn water, making people feel pity for her.

Chu Meiniang also looked at An Muxi and found that she was pure and lovely. Although she was not a beauty, her skin was fair and moist, and she seemed to still have baby fat on her cheeks.

I have always known this eldest daughter of the An family. I used to know that she was uneducated and unruly. Since she married Prince Duan, there has been less news about her. But since she saved Second Uncle Sun Chongwei and Second Prince Murong Wenzhuo, I have become more curious about her, not for anything else, but to know how she managed to be uneducated and yet have superb medical skills.

"How dare you! Why don't you kneel when you see me? Are all the people in the Chu family so uneducated?" Damn it, it was okay that the old man who just passed by was rude, and he didn't bother with him, but this one couldn't be let go.

Chu Mei Niang's face changed drastically, and she fell to her knees and bowed down.

"Mei Niang greets the princess." Her eyes looked at the ground.

After a long time, Mu Xi slowly said, "Get up, go back and find a nanny to teach you some etiquette!"

"Thank you for your teachings, Princess!" Chu Meiniang stood up and walked away carefully.

Suddenly, a woman in her thirties in a green dress walked into the gate of the military camp with a group of beautifully dressed girls.

From the way they walked, you could tell they were girls from the brothel. Some of the girls flirted with the guards, and some even flirted with them, blowing air at them.

The soldiers lowered their heads in shame.

Dong Feng stepped forward quickly, opened his arms, "How dare you! This is a military camp, who asked you to come here?"

The woman in the green dress raised her handkerchief.

"Sisters, wait, I'm going to meet this pretty boy." After saying that, she took three steps and came to Dongfeng with the token in her hand, and said in a coquettish voice:

"Sir, we are the military discipline officers in General Sun's military camp. A senior officer just asked us to come here to serve you soldiers. He said that we will have a battle tomorrow, so let the girls keep us company and have fun, right girls?" The ending tone rose and the eyes were frivolous.

"Hahaha! That's right, they are all hot-blooded and will die tomorrow without even touching a woman. How unfair!"

"That's right, that's right, we won't charge you money today!!!"

"Hahaha, why charge me money? As far as I know, many of these guys are virgins!!!"
