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

"You are a shameless bastard."

Su Chen suddenly said to Li Xiuning seriously, "Xiuning, I hope you will stay in the capital. You will be in charge of the more than 100,000 troops in the capital. Empress Xiao will be in charge of the government, and you will be in charge of the army."

Li Xiuning was very surprised to hear Su Chen's words.

She hadn't expected Su Chen to put her in charge of the army.

Isn't this bastard afraid she might rebel? Or even collude with the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Sui Dynasty?

Li Xiuning looked at Su Chen and reminded him, "Aren't you worried that I'll betray you? You should know that I'm a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and also Li Shimin's own sister."

Su Chen shook his head and answered.

“You wouldn’t. You’re the mother of my future child. You can’t betray the father of my child. As for Li Shimin, I believe you are very disappointed in him.”

"During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, you must have witnessed Li Shimin's ruthless behavior towards his own family. From now on, you will be one of the mistresses of the Wuwei Marquis Su family, no longer the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty."

Su Chen didn't believe Li Xiuning would harm him.

If it was three days ago,

Li Xiuning might wish she could kill herself.

But in these three days...

Su Chen also knew Li Xiuning to some extent; this woman he had forced himself on had been seduce by him over the past three days.

Li Xiuning is also a woman who dares to love and hate (5.3). Once Li Xiuning falls in love with him, her status as a princess of the Tang Dynasty becomes irrelevant to her.

Although Li Xiuning could not possibly defeat the Tang Dynasty.

But she would never betray herself.

"one!"

Li Xiuning rolled her eyes at Su Chen and said,

She thought of Su Chen's relationship with Empress Xiao, and even the women that bastard had in the martial arts world.

Li Xiuning felt extremely helpless.

but,

She had no choice.

It's impossible for Li Xiuning to take Su Chen for herself.

Leaving aside the proud women of the martial arts world, even she alone couldn't handle Su Chen. If Su Chen only had her as his woman, Li Xiuning felt her legs go weak just thinking about it.

"Cough cough cough, Xiuning, your body seems unable to take my strength."

"You shameless bastard, I wish I could strangle you."

the next morning,

Su Chen quietly left the palace with Yagyu Yukihime and Yagyu Hyōshū.

Su Chen had made arrangements for everything in the capital of the Sui Dynasty. As long as Li Xiuning and Empress Xiao could control the government and the army, the Sui Empire would not be able to fall into chaos.

In an inn,

Fu Junqiang quickly returned and called out to Fu Junyu, "Second sister, a carriage has left the palace."

Fu Junyu asked in confusion,

Who left the palace?

Fu Junqiang shook her head and said,

"I didn't see clearly. The carriage left the palace just as dawn broke, and it was heading towards the city gate of the capital. The carriage must have been leaving the capital of the Sui Dynasty."

Fu Junyu was very puzzled when she heard Fu Junqiang's words.

Why is a carriage leaving the capital so early?

Whose carriage could this be?

Fu Junyu suddenly remembered that Su Chen had been in the palace all along, and that Su Chen's territory was in Yangzhou. Fu Junyu thought that Su Chen, that bastard, might be going back to Yangzhou.

"Quick, pack your things, let's follow them. That carriage should be carrying Marquis Wuwei; he's probably sneaking back to Yangzhou."

"Okay, Second Sister!"

Upon hearing Fu Junyu's words, Fu Junqiang quickly nodded.

They had been waiting for Su Chen in the capital of the Sui Dynasty for half a month, but that bastard 973 hadn't come out of the palace.

This time, Su Chen is going to leave the capital secretly, and they can't let him disappear from their sight.

The Tang Dynasty

Two hundred thousand troops of the Tang Empire have already assembled in Jingzhou and Xiangyang.

Whenever a rebellion broke out in the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's army would attack the Sui Dynasty.

In the camp outside Jingxiang City, Li Jing and several generals sat together with furrowed brows.

Cheng Yaojin asked Li Jing, who was in the main seat,

"Grand Steward, it's been almost ten days, why hasn't the Great Sui Empire rebelled yet?"

Li Jing shook his head in reply.

"I don't know!"

Hou Junji shouted from the side,

"But if we don't start a war soon, the food supplies for our 200,000 troops won't last more than a few days."

Li Jing stood up and looked at the generals in the main tent.

He shook his head and said,

"Alas, it is not a good time to start a war against the Sui Dynasty. We have just fought a war with the Turks, and the army should have taken a break. Moreover, the grain and money paid to the Turks have depleted the national treasury."

"The Tang Empire will not recover without several years of rest and recuperation, but His Majesty is determined to do so, and there is nothing we can do."

Hou Junji clenched his fist and said,

"Grand Steward, this is the best time to destroy the Sui Dynasty. Once Yang Guang dies, the Sui Empire will surely fall apart and descend into chaos. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Li Jing looked at Hou Junji and explained.

"General Hou, you're being too naive."

"Marquis Wuwei has already arrived in the capital of the Sui Dynasty. With Marquis Wuwei here, even if a rebellion breaks out in the Sui Empire, do you think Marquis Wuwei will let those rebellious generals get away with it? Marquis Wuwei has 600,000 troops under his command."

Li Jing was very wary of Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen.

Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen, commanded an army of 600,000. He not only defeated the Southern Song Dynasty but also destroyed the Dali Kingdom, and even received a large amount of money and grain as compensation from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Marquis Wuwei could have both an army and money.

With no shortage of troops, provisions, or even weapons and armor, if Marquis Wuwei were to mobilize a large army to attack the Tang Empire, how would the Tang Empire resist Marquis Wuwei's army?

The Tang Dynasty is now so poor it can't even afford to eat.

Even the imperial palace has tightened its spending.

The army has not been paid for two months, and even the food supplies are about to run out. How can they launch a war under these circumstances?

Cheng Yaojin asked, speechless.

"Uh! What should we do? The Sui army opposite us seems to be in high spirits these days. They were shouting and yelling a few days ago. What exactly happened?"

"Let's wait and see, the scouts should be sending news soon."

At this time,

A scout quickly arrived and reported.

"Reporting to the Grand Commander, the Sui army on the other side has been distributing military pay these past few days, and the pay has been tripled. Countless provisions, weapons, and armor have also been delivered."

Upon hearing the scout's words, Li Jing was startled and hurriedly replied,

"Paying military pay? Triple pay? Countless supplies of food and weapons being delivered? How is this possible?"

The scout continued to report,

"Grand Steward, this was provided by Marquis Wuwei, and the Sui army has also sent 50,000 reinforcements."

Cheng Yaojin said with a solemn expression,

"Another 50,000 reinforcements have arrived? The Sui army in Fancheng has reached 180,000. This is not good news for us."

Hou Junji, with a serious expression, hurriedly said to Li Jing,

"We cannot start a war. The Sui army is currently in high spirits. They have no shortage of money, food, and even weapons and armor. We can no longer defeat the Sui army with a single charge as we used to."

Li Jing shook his head helplessly and said, "Yes, I will quickly relay the news from here to His Majesty. Whether to retreat or launch a war is a decision His Majesty must make."

The other generals were all quite helpless when they heard Li Jing's words.

These generals all understood.
