In the autumn and winter of another year, 800,000 barbarian troops marched south and were blocked at the Shanhe Pass, the most powerful pass in northern Xinjiang.
Li Yunfei, the general who defended the city, led all the soldiers and civilians in a bloody battle, and finally drove back the barbarians at the painful cost of hundreds of thousands of soldiers' corpses.
Before he could celebrate, the empress sent an imperial edict ordering Li Yunfei to withdraw his troops.
"I am getting married to the barbarian prince Tuoba Hao, and I will give Shanhe City to him as a dowry!"
For the sake of millions of people in Shanhe City, Li Yunfei decisively refused.
This made the love-minded empress furious: "You just lost a few lives, but what I lost was love!"
Soon, Li Yunfei discovered that the entire Dayu Dynasty was all a love affair.
"If the world is gone, we can just recast it. But if she is gone, she will never come back!"
"If you love her, you should give her the best. I am the Minister of Household Affairs, so naturally I will give her all the wealth in the world!"
…
Li Yunfei was furious.
It's okay not to protect such a Yu Dynasty!
He took away all the people and gave up the Shanhe Pass, but Tuoba Hao, who was originally going to marry the empress, led the barbarians all the way and blocked Kyoto!
The empress who shouted that she wanted love rather than power was completely panicked!
