Interrogating the Eastern Yi Queen: No, Don't!
Upon seeing Ye Xuan's gaze, Marquis of the East immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, the statistics haven't been compiled yet."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan frowned slightly.
"The statistics aren't out yet? Is it that slow?"
"As the saying goes, 'to see the whole picture from a single glimpse,' the fact that you haven't been able to compile the results after so long is enough to show the true state of your military discipline."
It was a long time before the casualties in Eastern Lu were finally tallied.
The moment Marquis of the East Jiang Hengchu, received the results, he reported them to Ye Xuan.
"Your Human Emperor, the losses in Eastern Lu are far more severe. The cavalry suffered three thousand casualties, including one thousand dead and two thousand seriously wounded."
"Infantry casualties totaled 6,000, with 3,000 killed and 3,000 seriously wounded."
Upon hearing these words, Ye Xuan's expression darkened slightly, and he turned to look at Marquis of the East.
"Total casualties: 10,000? 6,000 dead?"
"Marquis of the East, how do you usually manage your army?"
"In this great battle, the Chaoge army numbered 200,000, Eastern Lu numbered 200,000, totaling 400,000."
"The battle was fought primarily by the Chaoge army, with the Eastern Lu as a secondary force. How could they have suffered over ten thousand casualties under such circumstances?"
"How did you lead your troops? Over ten thousand men were lost in this kind of battle? Can this even be called an army?"
"Even ordinary farmers fight better than you on the battlefield. How could you be beaten like this by such an opponent? What do you have to say about that? Have you no shame?"
Upon hearing this, Marquis of the East Jiang Hengchu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
In this great battle, the Chaoge army was the main force, while the Eastern Lu was only auxiliary.
However, after the great battle, the Chaoge army suffered two hundred deaths and more than two hundred casualties, totaling less than five hundred men.
However, the Eastern Lu suffered more than 10,000 casualties, no wonder His Human Emperor was furious.
He himself couldn't give any reason.
Ye Xuan gave Marquis of the East a cold glance.
"I never expected you to be such a good-for-nothing."
"Old Mount Tai, a great calamity is imminent, and no one in this entire Primordial World will be able to escape it."
"If you don't want to die later, you'd better train your troops properly now, do you hear me?"
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's rebuke, Marquis of the East Jiang Hengchu repeatedly agreed.
"Bring King Yueji up here. You may all wait outside for now."
"Yes!!!"
The ministers filed out one after another.
The King Yueji, bound hand and foot, was quickly brought forward.
Ye Xuan didn't rush to ask questions about the woman who was brought up; instead, he carefully examined her.
As Ye Xuan removed the veil.
A feeling of amazement immediately welled up in Ye Xuan's heart.
This so-called King Yueji is indeed quite stunning in appearance.
Her cheeks were slightly long, but her features were very distinctive, giving her a striking and alluring appearance.
Wearing full-body, form-fitting armor, he certainly had a unique style.
The wildness of ethnic minorities is also clearly evident.
Seemingly sensing Ye Xuan's extremely aggressive gaze, King Yueji actually turned her head away, not daring to look again.
Although the two had met once before, their reunion now was a completely different story.
King Yueji actually possesses some magical power, but Zhang Guifang's Name-Calling Horse-Unseating Technique caused her soul to leave her body, and she has not yet fully recovered.
The reason why King Yueji appeared in the territory of Eastern Lu was mainly because she valued the culture of the Yin Shang.
The Eastern Yi tribes, located in a remote area, were obviously extremely backward. Recently, a wave of learning has risen in the territory of Yin Shang.
The reason is that His Human Emperor the current emperor stabilized the situation in a very short time, allowing the people to enjoy a bumper harvest.
In addition, His Human Emperor wrote dozens of books and biographies to enlighten the Human Clan.
It is said that there are many other strange and unusual things there.
After receiving the news, King Yueji infiltrated the territory of Eastern Lu.
While gathering intelligence, he also studied the books written by His Human Emperor.
She had long wanted to see the Human Emperor in person.
Unexpectedly Human Emperor personally led the expedition, which is why she used her methods to bewitch Jiang Wenhuan.
On the one hand, they wanted to meet the current Human Emperor, and on the other hand, they wanted to capture the Human Emperor alive, so that the Yin Shang army would hesitate to act rashly.
Unexpectedly, despite her various methods, she posed no threat to His Human Emperor the Emperor, leading to the assassination attempt's failure.
Now, when we meet again, everything has changed.
"King Yueji, this is our second meeting. What else do you have to say?"
King Yueji pursed her lips but didn't say anything.
Ye Xuan looked at the woman and couldn't help but smile.
"I never expected a woman like you to be a king; I underestimated you."
Upon hearing this, King Yueji frowned slightly.
"What's wrong with women? Why can't women be queens?"
"In our Eastern Yi Clan, women can also be queens. I began learning literature at the age of three and martial arts at the age of four. As a young boy, I defeated all the tribesmen without equal. At the age of eighteen, I became the Eight Kings of the Eastern Yi and ruled the Eastern Yi Clan."
"To date, I have fought in dozens of battles, large and small, and killed countless enemies with my bow and arrow."
"My capture today is simply due to my inferior skills. Now that I'm in your hands, kill me if you want, and say no more!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile slightly.
This so-called King Yueji is quite the feisty one.
She has such a fiery temper.
Looking at the woman with a hot body, Ye Xuan took the opportunity to put on a lecherous look.
"You are a beautiful woman, with extraordinary looks. Wouldn't it be a waste to kill you?"
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, King Yueji's heart tightened.
This guy seems to really have ill intentions?
In the past, when the Eastern Yi tribes came to the Great Shang and abducted women, they were often brutally violated. Now that she has also fallen into the hands of the Great Shang, she will likely not escape her fate.
Thinking of the tragic consequences, he couldn't help but curse.
He wished that this damned, incompetent ruler would give him a quick death.
Upon seeing the other party unleash a torrent of curses, Ye Xuan revealed a mocking expression.
"Your Majesty, please do not be alarmed. I had no intention of disrespecting you."
"The reason I brought you here is to learn about the Eastern Yi Clan."
"If you can tell the truth, you will be released unharmed; if you dare to disobey, you will be torn to pieces."
Upon hearing this, King Yueji couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"Emperor of the Yin Shang, you think you can get information out of me? You're dreaming."
"Although I am a woman, I know my place in the world. If you want me to betray you, I advise you to give up that idea. Now that you have captured me alive, you may kill me or torture me as you please."
King Yueji was of an extremely resolute character and was already prepared to die.
She could never betray the place that gave her birth and raised her, and she could never betray her own people.
Hearing such firm words, Ye Xuan smiled slightly.
It seems that a woman with spirit can be quite astonishing.
"Actually, I knew you had some spirit. When I first met you, I saw many things in you that others didn't possess."
"Meeting you again now confirms my suspicions."
"Since you've vowed never to return, there's no point in keeping you here any longer. I'll release you now. You can leave whenever you want; I won't stop you. The problem is, you should think carefully about what the consequences will be if you go back."
Upon hearing this, King Yueji was slightly taken aback.
The emperor of the Yin Shang was going to let her go back? Was the other party really that agreeable?
Seeing the other party's disbelieving look, Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said something.
"What harm would it do to let you go back? Going back would only mean you dying anyway!"
"As long as the Yin Shang sends spies to spread rumors and sow discord, saying that you have already surrendered and returned to serve as a spy for the Yin Shang army, then you will be unable to defend yourself, and even death will not clear your name."
"At that time, you will not only die at the hands of your own people, but your reputation will also be completely ruined. It will be up to you to choose."
