If you're made a fake emperor, why did you change the country's name?

Jingxin Hall.

Wei An tiptoed in and bowed to report.

"Your Majesty, Qiu Ping has arrived."

Zhao Yu put down his wolf-hair brush and blew on the characters he had just written.

"Announce."

Wei An withdrew.

Zhao Yu then leisurely took out a warm and smooth jade seal from under the dragon's desk.

Ruyi Jade Seal

With a thought, the jade seal in his hand slowly changed, eventually transforming into the shape of the Wolf Kingdom's jade seal.

A ferocious golden dragon coiled up like an unknown weapon, exceptionally sharp.

Zhao Yu raised the imperial seal and stamped it directly onto the newly forged imperial edict.

A lifelike golden wolf seal appeared prominently at the end of the imperial edict.

Zhao Yu looked at the "Imperial Edict of the Wolf Lord" and nodded in satisfaction.

The imperial edict contained disapproval of Xiaoyue Jinshang's incompetence, comments on Xiaoyue Jindao's merits and demerits, and words of encouragement expressing high hopes for Xiaoyue Jinquan.

The main point is that from the very beginning, Wolf Lord never gave Xiaoyue Jinshang a second glance!

As for how this imperial edict was forged, it was all thanks to the meritorious official Xiaoyue Jinshang.

The imperial edict used to provoke Xiaoyue Jinshang during his first siege of the city was dissected and reproduced in perfect replica.

Before long, Qiu Ping, dressed in a flying fish robe, strode in.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects!"

"Rise."

Zhao Yu handed over the forged imperial edict.

"There's something I need you to do personally."

"Arrange for several skilled members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to take this imperial edict out of the city through a secret passage."

"Find the encampment of Xiaoyue Jinshang, hide nearby, and await my orders."

Qiu Ping accepted the imperial edict and carefully put it into his bosom.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I guarantee that nothing will go wrong!"

After saying this, he bowed and quickly withdrew.

Qiu Ping had just left when Wei An walked in.

"Your Majesty, Commander Meng has also arrived."

"Announce."

Wei An withdrew.

Soon, Meng Qianshan, clad in heavy armor, strode into the hall and knelt on one knee.

"This humble general, Meng Qianshan, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yu pointed to several large wooden crates that had been prepared in advance on the side of the main hall.

Inside were the prepared tear gas canisters!

"Commander Meng, have your men keep those things safe."

"Once the great battle begins and the Wolf Kingdom army approaches the city walls, throw the contents of the box into the enemy's ranks."

Meng Qianshan looked in the direction Zhao Yu was pointing, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

What kind of lethality could this fist-sized lump of iron have?

Zhao Yu continued to explain.

"Once this thing lands, it will emit a large amount of irritating smoke that will cause anyone who inhales it to have tears streaming down their face and instantly lose the ability to move. It can not only force back the Wolf Kingdom soldiers, but also temporarily paralyze the people of Daliang who are being held hostage by them."

"At that time, prepare a reinforcement army behind the city gate. As soon as the Wolf Kingdom soldiers retreat, immediately open the city gate and bring all the people of my Great Liang back into the city!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Qianshan's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with shock.

Irritating fumes?

Can it instantly render someone incapacitated?

Your Majesty is indeed a god descended to earth! This must be a celestial artifact just like that 'Thunder Magic Immortal Artifact'!

Meng Qianshan knelt down again in excitement, his voice trembling.

"Your Majesty is mighty! This humble general...this humble general will certainly not fail in his mission!"

Kamui?

Zhao Yu rolled his eyes, knowing that his brother-in-law was making things up again, but he was too lazy to explain.

Zhao Yu picked up a tear gas canister from the box and briefly explained how to use it: pull out the fuse, wait a moment, and then throw it.

He then solemnly reminded him.

"Remember, soldiers who go out of the city to meet the civilians must cover their mouths and noses with a damp cloth beforehand to avoid being accidentally injured by the smoke."

Meng Qianshan listened intently, as if he had mastered the secret to using another supreme immortal technique.

"Your humble servant obeys!"

Holding a tear gas canister, Meng Qianshan smiled broadly and left as if he had found a priceless treasure.

Silence returned to the Hall of Tranquility.

Zhao Yu looked out the window; everything was ready.

Everything is ready, except for the final push.

.....................

Ten miles outside the imperial city.

On a barren hilltop, a simple military camp rises abruptly.

A few wolf flags embroidered with the character "seven" stood scattered in the village, looking particularly forlorn in the wind.

Inside the main tent of the military camp.

boom!

Clang!

Xiaoyue Jinshang's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman, smashing everything he could in the tent to pieces.

"Xiaoyue Jinquan! You bastard! What right do you have?!"

"That's my cannon! That victory should have been mine!!"

"He betrayed his own brothers, how dare he win this battle of fangs? By what right?!"

He cursed wildly, spitting as he spoke.

At this moment, Xiaoyue Jinshang seemed to have completely forgotten that he was the first to betray his brother and attack Xiaoyue Jindao.

Inside the tent, the generals were all silent, not daring to even breathe loudly.

After venting for a long time, Xiaoyue Jinshang finally stopped, panting heavily. He grabbed Tuoba Hu beside him.

"Tuoba Hu! Tell me! Is there no way? Is there any way for me to win?"

Tuoba Hu sighed deeply, his face full of helplessness.

He analyzed in a deep voice: "Your Highness, your impression on the Wolf Lord was not very good to begin with."

Now that you've lost your biggest trump card, the Red Cannon, even if Xiaoyue Jinquan is ultimately defeated by the Emperor of Liang, you'll likely still struggle to achieve victory this time.

Upon hearing these words, Xiaoyue Jinshang felt that his last glimmer of hope had been shattered.

He roared even more angrily.

"No! If Xiaoyue Jinquan hadn't stolen my things, I could have made Father Khan look at me with new eyes! I could have become the Wolf Lord!"

Just then, a guard reported from outside the tent.

"Your Highness..."

"Get out!" Xiaoyue Jinshang was still angry and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Tuoba Hu waved his hand.

"Let him in."

The guard cautiously entered the tent and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, the Gan family's tokens have all been distributed, and the news has quickly spread to various towns and cities."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue Jinshang gritted his teeth and mocked himself.

"What's the point of spreading this? I have no chance! I have no chance at all!"

"Even if there's a chance, that useless emperor of Daliang definitely can't stop Xiaoyue Jinquan's first wave of attack! I just received news that Xiaoyue Jinquan will attack first thing tomorrow morning!"

"The useless emperor's plan has failed!"

"Get out!"

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Hu and the others exchanged glances and could only remain silent and take their leave.

Stepping out of the main tent, a young general approached Tuoba Hu and asked with concern.

"Chieftain, what should we do now?"

Tuoba Hu gazed at the distant imperial city and shook his head helplessly.

"We've already invested so much, we can only... pin our hopes on the fact that the Emperor of Liang isn't a useless fool."

That being said, there was no confidence in his eyes.

The young players around him looked on with disdain.

"Rely on him? The Great Liang is already in such a state of disarray."

"He was able to beat us before only because of his cannons."

"Now that Xiaoyue Jinquan is using the people of Daliang as human shields, his cannons are just a pile of scrap metal! He's bound to lose!"

Everyone sighed and lamented, their morale plummeting to rock bottom.

"It's over. Our Tuoba clan is probably doomed along with the Seventh Prince this time..."
