Peerless Taoist

"As the saying goes, the heaven and earth is the master of the heavens and earth. The heavens and earth are the first, and the fate of the sovereign is above all else. The Emperor naturally has his own plans for you to withdraw your troops. You are merely a subject, yet you dare to kill an official in front of him and defy the emperor's orders. You have already committed a capital offense."    

" Lu Yu, peace is not easy to come by. It was not easy for us to seek peace, but you did not listen to us and brazenly sent troops, causing the two dynasties to meet and fight. Isn't this your fault? "    

Sima Yun asked one question after another with a cold smile on his face.    

"Peace? Where did peace come from?"    

Lu Yu stared at Sima Yun. "Since we want peace, why did the Tang Dynasty invade?"    

"This..."    

"I think you are really immersed in the illusion of singing, dancing, and bringing peace to the country! If I did not lead the Tang army to retreat, do you dare to say that they would not attack the Imperial Capital? Do you dare to say that the Tang army can live in peace with the people of Great Yu?"    

Lu Yu said coldly," I saw many stars outside Tiger Cage Pass. The Tang army plundered the land and amassed wealth. Every time they passed by, they would build statues of deities on a large scale. They would enslave the souls of all living beings and devour the source of the stars. You could be high and mighty in the Imperial Capital, but you did not know that the Tiger Cage Pass had long been filled with hunger. Corpses form mountains!"    

Sima Yun stomped his feet and said with a flushed face, "That was also caused by their resistance against the Tang Army. Wouldn't it be great if they didn't resist?"    

"A country must be fought for even the slightest bit. It's not something you can decide whether you want it or not."    

Lu Yu stood up and looked at all the ministers present. "You all have disappointed me."    

"I thought that you would at least be able to see through the problem after reaching your current position. However, it is obvious that I have thought too much. You are still childish and still have fantasies and unrealistic things. "    

" I don't know who the Emperor Capital Contract is, but you've even given up Tiger Cage Pass and Si Shui Pass on your own accord. Does this mean that when the Tang Dynasty changes its mind, it will be able to kill them immediately? Just based on you, the Emperor Capital and the four battalions in the Emperor Capital... Can they stop the Tang army?!"    

Sima Yun murmured, "But we have already signed the contract, and everything will be done according to the contract..."    

Lu Yu glanced at him. "Why do they have to abide by the contract? What right does the Imperial Court have to make them obey the contract?"    

"The weak are the bandits, and the victor is the king. The more you retreat, the more passive you are. Today, I will cut five cities, and tomorrow, I will cut ten cities. What else can you give up in the future?"    

Lu Yu looked at everyone." Do you know that the Tang army has already started to attack the Ice Domain? The Emperor Capital Contract was just a piece of scrap paper to them. It's ridiculous that you are still here, pedantic in abiding by the contract. "    

What!?    

Many ministers stood up in shock, their faces filled with fear.    

The Tang army had actually launched another attack!    

They were targeting Lu Yu on the premise that the Tang army was in a peaceful and stable state and would not directly clash with the Imperial Court.    

With that, they could free up their hands and remove Lu Yu and the other vassal powers that held military power.    

However, the most important prerequisite was that the Tang army would not launch an attack!    

And now, the Tang army actually publicly tore the contract and launched an attack on the Ice Domain. This was shocking to them.    

"Sir Zheng, is this real or fake?" Someone looked at one of the Wu Chens.    

That martial official was wearing a red official robe embroidered with a Qilin, sitting in the crowd without saying a word.
