Crossover Martial Arts: Oh my god! I'm actually a major villain!

"It would be wonderful if Empress Xiao became the empress of the Sui Dynasty. It would be even better if the empress was also one of my own women."

Empress Xiao is writing an imperial edict.

After hearing Su Chen's whispered words,

Empress Xiao frowned and asked Su Chen,

"Su Chen, what are you talking about? What empress? What woman?"

Su Chen said awkwardly and hastily,

"I didn't say anything, Your Majesty. I have some troops arriving tomorrow. The defense of the capital and the palace will be entrusted to my troops. Your troops are too weak."

"You decide what to do. My token is in the box on the desk. Take the token and make your own arrangements."

Chapter 304 The melodramatic plot of Su Chen and Empress Xiao!

Three days later,

The capital of the Sui Dynasty

Su Chen has completely taken control of all the troops in the capital.

Some of the troops in Su Chen's system space were deployed.

Su Chen deployed all of these troops in the capital: 10,000 cavalry, 5,000 heavy cavalry, 5,000 cavalry, 5,000 heavy infantry, 10,000 infantry, and 5,000 archers.

In addition to the 80,000 troops in the capital, Su Chen also has 130,000 to 140,000 elite troops at his disposal, and his 40,000-strong Black Armor Legion is a very powerful force.

Over the past three days,

Su Chen also learned about his relationship with Empress Xiao. In fact, his relationship with Empress Xiao was very close. The system was set up so that he broke into the palace and met Empress Xiao there.

According to Empress Xiao's account,

He flirted with the beautiful Empress Xiao at that time, and for a month, Su Chen secretly came to the palace every day and even sent Empress Xiao all kinds of flowers.

Su Chen even saved Empress Xiao during an assassination attempt, and through this interaction, Su Chen became acquainted with Empress Xiao.

At that time, Emperor Yang Guang was licentious and neglected Empress Xiao. After Su Chen had known Empress Xiao for three months, he left a letter and departed, which is quite a dramatic plot.

And that's not all the absurdity.

Empress Xiao showed Su Chen the contents of the letter, and Su Chen was completely dumbfounded when he saw them.

The letter actually asked Empress Xiao to wait for him for five years. Within five years, Su Chen's strength would increase, and he would come to take Empress Xiao away.

Su Chen looked at Empress Xiao with a completely bewildered expression.

However, after Empress Xiao left in embarrassment,

For the past three days, he has been busy with matters in the capital and has not seen Empress Xiao again.

In Su Chen's temporary residence,

Su Chen was pondering how to persuade the generals who were about to arrive when Liu Sheng Xue Ji quickly arrived and reported to Su Chen, "Master, General Lai Hu'er has arrived in the capital and has already gone to the palace."

Su Chen was puzzled when he heard that Lai Huer had arrived. It had only been three days, how could Lai Huer have arrived so quickly? Could it be that Lai Huer had rushed to the capital early in the morning?

Su Chen asked with a puzzled look, "General Lai Huer? How many troops did Lai Huer bring?"

"Ten thousand troops!"

"Ten thousand troops? Lai Huer only brought ten thousand troops with him?"

Su Chen frowned, unable to understand.

If Lai Hu'er came to support a prince to become emperor, what use would his 10,000 troops be? Wasn't Lai Hu'er here to support another prince to become emperor?

Su Chen thought for a moment and decided to meet Lai Huer first. "Xue Ji, come with me to the palace."

"Yes, Master!"

In the palace,

Empress Xiao looked at the old general who came to protect her son with a speechless expression.

She never expected that General Lai Huer would ask for military pay, and even for food and weapons.

The Sui Dynasty's treasury had long been empty.

The last military pay was thanks to the money Su Chen contributed, so Empress Xiao couldn't possibly give it back to the guards to provide them with pay, provisions, and weapons.

Empress Xiao looked at Lai Huer and shook her head, saying, "General Lai, you know the situation of the Sui Dynasty. I have no way to provide you with military pay, provisions and weapons."

Lai Huer spoke up anxiously.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty is nearing the end of his life. The Tang Empire may launch a war against the Sui Dynasty. Without military pay, food, and weapons, how can the Sui Dynasty's border troops possibly fight against the Tang Empire?"

"Your Majesty, please think of a solution. The Tang Empire is already mobilizing its troops, and war may break out within a few months."

"I......"

"General, I will provide you with money, provisions, and weapons, but I have one condition."

At this time,

Su Chen strode in and said,

He had overheard Lai Huer and Empress Xiao's conversation outside the main hall. Su Chen hadn't expected that Lai Huer was after money, provisions, and weapons, which was a trivial matter to him.

Su Chen also considered winning over the generals loyal to the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty was short of money and food, but he had both.

Su Chen simply didn't have it.

But it existed in both the Southern and Northern Song dynasties.

Both the Southern and Northern Song dynasties were his money bags and granaries. If the Southern and Northern Song dynasties dared not to give, then he would start a war. Su Chen had no reason to launch a war of annihilation against the Southern Song dynasty.

"Su Chen!"

"Marquis of Wuwei!"

Empress Xiao and Lai Huer both exclaimed upon seeing Su Chen's arrival.

Empress Xiao was relieved, knowing that since Su Chen had arrived, he would surely have a way to deal with General Lai Huer.

The guards saw Su Chen arrive.

He also greatly admired Su Chen.

A spoiled young nobleman,

Su Chen actually led his army to force the Southern Song Dynasty to cede territory and pay reparations. He even occupied two half of the Southern Song's prefectures. The Dali Kingdom was also destroyed more than ten days ago. Lai Huwei'er has a very high opinion of Su Chen.

Lai Huer looked at Su Chen and asked seriously, "Young Marquis, you said you could provide military pay, provisions, and weapons. Is that true?"

"Not bad!"

Su Chen nodded and answered.

He was also sizing up this valiant and extraordinary old general.

In the history of the Sui Dynasty, generals like Lai Huer, Yang Yichen, and Zhang Xutuo—if they hadn't been killed so young, it's hard to say whether the Li Tang dynasty could have overthrown the Sui.

"What are the conditions?"

Su Chen looked at Lai Huer and said, "Submit to me and the Empress. That's my only condition."

"Are you plotting a rebellion?"

Lai Huer was very surprised when she heard Su Chen's words.

He hadn't expected Su Chen to make such a demand. Was Su Chen planning a rebellion?

And they even want to subdue me?

just,

Why did Su Chen include the Empress in this? Shouldn't Su Chen be making her submit to him?

Why did Su Chen ask himself to submit to the Empress?

What is the relationship between Su Chen and the Empress? Lai Huer felt a headache just thinking about it.

Su Chen shook his head and said dismissively,

"Treason? General Lai, what do you think the Sui Empire will be like after Yang Guang dies? The Sui Dynasty is in chaos because of Yang Guang, and some generals even want to establish their own independent regimes."

"With Yang Guang dead, those generals with ulterior motives will rebel, and the Tang Empire will take advantage of the situation. Do you think the Sui Dynasty can still be saved?"

Lai Huer clenched his fists tightly and shouted.

"I am loyal to the Sui Empire, and I will not betray the Sui Empire."

Su Chen did not try to persuade Lai Hu'er any further.

He saw no need to persuade Lai Hu'er.

If Lai Huer is determined to serve the Sui Dynasty, Su Chen cannot dissuade him no matter what.

Su Chen has said everything he needed to say.

It really does n’t work.

Su Chen had no choice but to abandon everything in the Sui Empire.
