Chapter Sixty-nine 

Ying Zetian not used to the nice bed that she was sleeping on now, tossed around on the bed. And Ying Zetian turns her mind to thinking the pro and cons of totally wiping out the two hundred thousand Qitan army or letting them go back to Qitan, hugely defeated. Ying Zetian finally decided on totally wiping out the Qitan army. It is better to choose this option as Ying Zetian had three enemies if she did and will take over the throne of Tai Ping. And historically even during the times of the Ying family, Tai Ping is always a country that is the weakest among the four countries.

So, if Ying Zetian needed at least one of her enemies too weak to think of attacking her as she need time to let Tai Ping rest once she takes over the throne. Not to said, the mental impact it will bring to the other two enemies that the weakest country is able to bring such a devasting defeat to a stronger country. Most importantly when Ying Zetian went triumphant back to Changan, she will need the soldiers to go back with her.

Ying Zetian estimate that she will need at least five thousand men from Changping which she could easily get as two garrison commanders of Changping is under her control. Not to said key positions in the army guarding Changping is Ying Zetian's people. And the reason, Ying Zetian has thought up of, that is to send a token number of soldiers back so they could personally bring back the best wishes of Tang Zhong for his soldiers who is hard at work defeating his country borders.

Ying Zetian already had all her people in place in Changan and the surrounding cities and states. Ying Zetian just wanted to bring back more men just on the safe side. Ying Zetian is one foot into dreamland when she thought of the latest letter that she sends to Tang Wudi. This letter is for Tang Wudi to add more fire to the fuel that is the opinion of the normal citizens of Tai Ping of the four gentry families and the royal families by using stories for example.

Ying Zetian need Tang Wudi to carry this out in order to brainwash the rich and powerful of Tai Ping. And as for the other normal citizens of Tai Ping, they will not care who is in control of the country just as long as their belly is full. Ying Zetian after all wanted the least resistance to her taking over the throne of Tai Ping. Ying Zetian finally went into dreamland when she thought of the feelings of Tang Wudi if he got a look at the latest Q version of her wearing a modern bikini that she had drawn on the letter.
