"Military genius brings Zizhi Tongjian to another world ()" Find the latest chapter!
There is a reception room in Su Cheng's mansion.
On weekdays, some guests occasionally visit and discuss things with Su Cheng that are not convenient for outsiders to know.
Therefore, for the sake of convenience, Su Cheng opened such a reception room in the mansion specifically for entertaining guests.
Today, Su Cheng's reception room ushered in an extraordinary guest.
In the reception room, Su Cheng looked at the sudden visitor in front of him with a complicated look.
Squeak.
The door of the reception room was opened.
Kaylor held a plate with 2 cups of black tea she had just brewed on it.
It can be clearly seen that Kaylor is a little nervous now.
After all, she also knows who this person who suddenly visited their home is.
She also knows that this person has a bad relationship with her husband recently.
Kaylor placed the black tea on the plate on the table in front of this person.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea."
"Yes, thank you."
After handing the two cups of black tea on the tray to Elsa and Su Cheng respectively, Carol did not dare to stay any longer and left the place quickly.
The person who suddenly visited Su Cheng's house was the emperor of their Britannia Empire - Elsa Augustus.
Elsa picked up the black tea that Carol had just brought and took a sip.
"Good tea!"
Elsa's eyes lit up and praised.
"Not only is the tea good, but the skill of the person who brewed the tea is also quite good! The court chefs in my palace are no better than this!"
"Cheng, who brewed this black tea? Was it your wife?"
"Yes." Su Cheng nodded, "It was my wife, the blue-haired woman just now."
"It's really amazing... With such superb tea brewing skills, she can directly come to my palace to be my royal chef..."
"Thank you for the compliment."
With a polite smile, after echoing Elsa's words, Su Cheng also picked up his teacup and took a sip.
After putting down the teacup, Su Cheng put away all the polite smiles on his face and said to Elsa seriously:
"Your Majesty, I wonder why you came to my house this time...?"
"..." Elsa did not answer Su Cheng's question immediately.
Instead, after a long silence, he said quietly:
"... Cheng, Deng Jiaer was defeated. More than half of the 300,000 troops were lost... a complete and disastrous defeat."
"What...?"
...
...
Elsa summarized all the information she knew so far to Su Cheng in the shortest possible sentences.
"... Alas."
After listening to Elsa's summary quietly, Su Cheng sighed and said:
"It seems... it's too early to let Deng Jiaer lead such a large army..."
"Your Majesty... let me ask a question - when Deng Jiaer comes back, how will you punish Deng Jiaer?"
"We'll talk about this later." Elsa said in a deep voice, "There are more important things waiting for me to do now!"
"More important things..."
Su Cheng sighed again.
"So... Your Majesty, the important thing you are referring to is to provide relief to the wounded soldiers, rebuild the national strength, or... prepare for the second war to destroy the Holy Xilan Empire?"
"Of course, both things are done at the same time!" Ilsa said without hesitation, "We must do a good job of supporting the wounded soldiers! At the same time, we must actively prepare for the second war against the Holy Xilan Empire!"
"... Your Majesty." Su Cheng cast a complicated look at Ilsa, "Do you... still want to continue fighting... Even if you have paid such heavy casualties?"
"That's right! I will never give up until the Holy Xilan Empire is destroyed! That's why I came to see you..."
After saying that, Ilsa stood up and saluted Su Cheng.
"Cheng,
I apologize to you."
Ilsa's sudden salute and apology scared Su Cheng.
Su Cheng hurriedly stood up and said in a hurry:
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Ilsa ignored Su Cheng and continued to apologize to Su Cheng.
"I was so stupid! I was acting like a child!"
"Because I was acting like a child, I didn't let you be the commander-in-chief of the entire army."
"If I could have put away my temper and let you be the commander-in-chief of the entire army, then our country might not have encountered the current predicament!"
"Please forgive my narrow-mindedness!"
"... Your Majesty." Su Cheng stood there for a while, then smiled bitterly and slowly walked towards Ilsa, straightening her back as she bowed to him.
"Your coldness towards me these days... I have never taken it to heart."
"I understand all your actions and orders so far."
"So I have never resented you."
"So there is no need to apologize."
"... Cheng..., no, Teacher Cheng." Ilsa gritted her teeth, "... I know that my request... may be too much."
"But I still hope you can agree to it."
Ilsa raised her head and cast a sharp gaze at Su Cheng.
"Teacher Cheng, I hope you can be the commander-in-chief of the Second Holy Xilan Empire's War of Extermination!"
"I hope you can defeat Marshal El Bernard of the Holy Hiran Empire!"
"...Sigh." A look of deep distress appeared on Su Cheng's face.
He raised his hand and scratched his hair.
"It seems...no matter how hard I try, I can't persuade Your Majesty to give up the war..."
"That's right." Ilsa said without hesitation, "I will never give up my dream of unifying the continent."
"We will never give up the attack on the Holy Hiran Empire!"
"...Your Majesty, can't we really delay for a few more years?" Su Cheng asked softly, "Can't we wait until a few years later, when our country's national strength has recovered to some extent, before launching a new war against the Holy Hiran Empire? "
"No." Ilsa shook her head, "I don't want to and can't delay it for so long."
"I have made up my mind to unify the continent in my lifetime."
"What if I delay the annihilation war against the Holy Hiran Empire...and I suddenly get an incurable terminal disease next year?"
"What if something unexpected happens to me?"
"Then I will never see the unification of the mainland again?"
"So as long as this country still has the strength to fight, I will continue to fight!"
"...Your Majesty." Su Cheng looked at Ilsa in front of him with complicated eyes.
For the first time, Su Cheng felt that... the girl in front of him was a little... strange.
"……I see."
Su Cheng lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Since... Your Majesty has to unite the entire continent before he is willing to give up..."
"Then I'll help you unify it."
"Unify the entire continent so that your majesty will have no chance to start another war."
"The second war of annihilation of the Holy Hiran Empire...I took over the position of commander-in-chief."
