Chapter 1577

When developing gunpowder, death row prisoners were cannon fodder.

When testing the power of gunpowder explosions to break armor, death row prisoners were live targets.

When charging into battle, death row prisoners were the vanguard army!

When the army was in danger, death row prisoners were the suicide squad.

Even when grain was lacking, death row prisoners could also exert their value!

Amazing!

Too perverted!

Too cruel!

Worthy of being the man I, Shangguan Wan'er, have taken a fancy to!

Shangguan Wan'er said silently in her heart.

Wu Zhao put her heart into her stomach and said to Gao Yang, "With Lord Gao's words, I am very at ease!"

"Since Lord Gao does not need a large amount of grain and supplies, then it is simple. There are ten thousand elite Black Armor troops around Yanmen Pass, all of whom are good hands."

"Lord Gao wants one person with three horses, then I will mobilize another batch of warhorses to go. In this battle, whatever Lord Gao wants, I will give."

Gao Yang bowed and lowered his eyes, "This subject thanks Your Majesty for your holy grace!"

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes were full of majesty, but also mixed with a trace of excitement that could not be covered up.

She clenched her fair fists, her eyes looking as if in reminiscence, and the scene of Da Qian being humiliated in the past appeared before her eyes.

She looked outside the Imperial Study and said, "In the past, my Da Qian Taizu was surrounded by the Xiongnu on Mount Baideng and was almost captured alive. After Taizu passed away, Gao Zu was young, so the Empress Dowager listened to politics from behind the curtain. The Xiongnu Great Chanyu at that time actually wrote a letter, inviting my Da Qian Empress Dowager to go to the grassland to have fun with him and be a happy couple!"

Speaking of this, Wu Zhao looked back.

Her phoenix eyes were red, and her voice was extremely cold: "But there is no way. As Prime Minister Gao said, dignity is only on the edge of the blade, and truth is only within the range of the bow and crossbow. In the world today, weakness is the original sin, and weakness means being beaten!"

"The Empress Dowager had no choice but to deal with it, enduring this humiliation and writing a flattering letter. For nearly a hundred years since then, the women of the Da Qian royal family have been sent to the Xiongnu for marriage alliances."

"However, the Xiongnu not only did not feel grateful, but repeatedly invaded our borders, killed my Da Qian people, and abducted my Da Qian women. This national hatred... should also be washed away by me!"

Gao Yang bowed again, "This subject will definitely not fail Your Majesty's holy grace."

Wu Zhao suppressed the excitement in her heart, her phoenix eyes looking at Gao Yang.

She was spirited, and the imperial majesty on her body swept over, saying: "Prime Minister Gao, just go ahead and fight, go and take revenge. I will cover everything for you!"

"If we can defeat the Xiongnu and take the Hexi region, we can severely damage the Xiongnu and also frustrate the intentions of the Chu, Yan, and Qi kingdoms!"

"Then the road to Da Qian's rise will no longer be blocked by anyone!"

"The eternal hegemony will also open its doors to me and Prime Minister Gao!"

Gao Yang bowed and said loudly, "This subject will definitely not fail the holy grace. First to take revenge, second to help Your Majesty take the Hexi region and severely damage the Xiongnu!"

"Then this subject will take his leave and return to the mansion to prepare!"

Wu Zhao nodded slightly at this.

But she watched Gao Yang's departing back, her phoenix eyes slightly furrowed.

For some reason, Gao Yang's thin back suddenly made her heart feel as if it had been pricked by a needle, a burst of stinging pain.

"Wan'er, is it my illusion?"

"Why do I feel that Lord Gao seems a bit different from usual?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er smiled and shook her head, "Lord Gao suddenly suffered a disaster and has immense hatred in his heart. It is normal for him to be a bit different. Your Majesty worries too much..."
