The most important problem for the imperial government was to find a suitable general who could lead the army to fight Tuoba Rui.

But after so many years, the imperial government had relied too much on the Battle King, and there were no other generals who could stand up to it.

After much searching and picking, he found a general who had once been disregarded by General Mao. His name was Fu Jianhao, and he was the Marshal of the West, leading five hundred thousand men to guard the pass.

The Dragon's Mouth Pass was the last barrier of the capital. If it was broken, the capital would be exposed in front of the Rebellion, unable to reverse the situation.

Fu Jianhao took the military emblem and left. The ministers also gradually dispersed.

At this time, the Emperor left behind Wang Huai and asked, "Have you sent people to persuade Mao Jun and Yan Zixing to surrender?"

"In reply to the Emperor, someone has already sent a letter. The two of them both agreed to surrender to the imperial government and await your orders." Wang Huai said respectfully.

He was also feeling weak right now. If the seal on the dragon's mouth was broken, it was very possible that the Emperor would kill him in order to calm the anger of the Battle King.

After all, the Battle King sent troops in the name of the Clear Monarch's side.

The Emperor went to a wall and looked at the map.

At this time, two-thirds of Daozheng's territory had already been occupied by Tuoba Rui, and the three troops were unstoppable. In less than three days, they would be able to clear the Dragon's Mouth.

He had to use some tricks.

Thus, the old emperor narrowed his eyes and pointed at the entrance of the Dragon Gate. He said, "Let them attack Tuoba Rui's army here, and after causing a certain amount of injury, have General Fu support them in entering the city to assist the defending troops in defending the city."

Hearing this, Wang Huai hurriedly agreed.

"This subject shall go and prepare the decree now." As he spoke, he quickly retreated.

The emperor's face was as cold as frost. This was his last trump card; he didn't know what results he would receive.

He did not doubt Mao Jun and Yue Shan's abilities, after all, their entire clan had been captured by him, what other tricks did they dare to play?

In just two days of time, the vanguard troops of the three armies had already met with teachers in front of the Dragon's Mouth Fortress. During this time, they had already captured twenty cities.

The army was camped on the spot. On the way to the camp, Hua Ruge met Mao Jun and Yan Zixing.

Mao Jun had an excited expression on his face, but he still maintained his calm expression.

"Brothers, was the journey smooth?" Hua Ruge went forward to greet them.

Mao Jun laughed clearly: "This is too satisfying, those resistance are simply unable to withstand a single blow."

"It's fine. How are you?" Yan Zixing asked.

Hua Ruge nodded: "It went smoothly."

"Oh right, Ruan Ge, why haven't I seen your alien army?" Mao Jun looked around.

Except for the Dwarves following the main group, he seemed to have seen no one else.

Hua Ruge blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "There are other arrangements, and they may not be useful, just in case."

"Secrets again?" Mao Jun said with dissatisfaction.

Hua Ruge patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you'll know soon enough."

Mao Jun was already used to it and stared at her without asking any further questions.

Tuoba Rui, dressed in a black armor, was standing in front of a map. His expression was always cold, and even before coming close, he could already feel a breath of cold air.

As the three of them walked closer, Tuoba Rui lifted his head. When he saw Hua Ruge, his ice-cold eyes immediately carried a smile as he reached out his hand and said, "Come."

Hua Ruge placed his hand on top of his own, and then was pulled away by him to her bosom, she stared at her face, then frowned: "I lost weight."

"Stop messing around. We've only been apart for a few days." Hua Ruge rolled his eyes as he stood up from his embrace.

However, Tuoba Rui's expression did not ease up, and said seriously: "Once the battle is over, I will definitely make up for it."

Hua Ruge had a helpless expression.

Mao Jun and Yan Zixing felt that it was unnecessary to stand here.

"Generals, thank you for your hard work." Tuoba Rui spoke as if he had just seen two people.

The two of them cupped their fists and bowed, then let Yan Zixing speak out, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness.

"Let's talk about the next strategy." Hua Ruge sat down and asked Mao Jun: "The old emperor contacted you guys, right?"

Mao Jun nodded his head and took out a piece of cloth from his bosom. He threw it onto the table and said: "They say they want us to ambush you and send us into the city."

Hearing that, Hua Ruge's eyes lit up, he picked up the cloth and looked, then handed it over to Tuoba Rui.

Tuoba Rui looked at it and said: "I didn't think about how to maintain this small loss to attack the city, so I gave us a chance."

"The Battle King is wise, this subordinate thinks that I can make use of it too." Yan Zixing said.

Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows, and said: "All of you should be thinking the same thing.

"As long as it's a fake." Mao Jun said directly.

Yan Zixing shook his head. "Just standing on the city wall is enough to view the situation in our military camp. It's not easy to fake it."

As a result, they once again fell into deep thought.

"How can I keep them from seeing it?" Hua Ruge whispered.

Tuoba Rui thought for a moment, then said: "The distance is not close, and I can't see very clearly at night. If it's a cloudy day with wind and sand, the people over there can only be judged by their voices."

"That makes sense. With a wind attribute Soul Master, this won't be difficult." Hua Ruge said with bright eyes.

Yan Zixing also nodded.

The wind can move the clouds, or it can create a natural sandstorm.

"There's no time to lose. Let's start tonight." Tuoba Rui's gaze turned cold as he gave the order.

The battle between Great Zheng and Dong Xia was still ongoing, so the battle here couldn't be dragged on for too long.

Mao Jun and Yan Zixing nodded, after bidding their goodbyes, they left the large tent to make arrangements.

"Have you arranged for their families?" Hua Ruge asked.

As long as the emperor heard that Mao Jun and Yan Zixing were playing tricks on him, he would definitely be furious. At that time, the first thing he would do was to implicate their families.

"Tomorrow morning, senior brother will save someone, don't worry." Tuoba Rui said.

Hua Ruge heaved a sigh of relief.

Tuoba Rui pulled her into his embrace, and seeing that her expression was not relaxed, he asked curiously: "What are you still thinking about?"2

"Think again." Hua Ruge said.

Tuoba Rui held her hands and said: "Didn't we already prepare for the worst? Relax, I'm here."

Hua Ruge nodded, and continued, "But do you want to decide who to call the new ruler after taking over the capital?"

"Tuoba Yu is the most suitable out of the princes. I have already sent someone to deliver a letter to him. Tuoba Rui said.

"The Fifth Prince is indeed suitable, and would do better than his father." Hua Ruge agreed before continuing, "But I don't know if he wants to become emperor or not."

"What do you mean?" Tuoba Rui asked.

"When he becomes the emperor, he will only be in contact with Xiao Binger for a short period of time. To him, this might not be a good thing." Hua Ruge laughed.

With her understanding of Tuoba Yu, she felt that it was very possible that he was someone who wanted beauties or mountains.
