"Run! They've broken through! Dagan's soldiers are charging in."

"Help! Wait for me! I don't want to die! Run!"

"Mom, wuwuwu, mom, where are you??"

"Get out of here, you damned official! Don't block my way! Do you believe I'll kill you? The big guns have already broken in, and I'm still putting up with you. Beat these damned officials to death!"

In Yunzhou City, the people were in chaos.

Some people were looting on the streets, some were shouting, some were collapsing on the ground, and the sounds of crying and begging for mercy were endless.

Many more people closed their doors and hid at home, shivering.

In such a situation, the outbreak of war is inevitable no matter what era it is.

However, this panic and confusion did not last long, as a powerful figure flew past, shouting the same words:

"The Great Shenji Camp—don't kill the civilians—all of you hide back home!"

The people were already in a panic at this time and had no time to escape, so they could only hide back.

Some people seemed to have been prepared. After a while, a large piece of white cloth was hung at the door with the words:

[With great care for Dagan, the people finally welcomed their true emperor! ]

Some people even rushed out onto the official road, holding high their banners:

"I am willing to lead the way for the Dagan royal family—kill all the traitors in Yanyun!"

"General Da Gan—I know the traitors and their navy are hiding at Guangbo Wharf! They're about to escape!"

It was easier for the Shenji Camp to capture Yunzhou City than imagined.

This was something Lin Che hadn't expected. These garrison troops were too weak and could barely withstand a single blow.

After entering the city, he immediately ordered: "Loot the government offices here. Kill any officers and soldiers you encounter—and finally, burn the government offices down!"

Previously, he had impulsively distributed 40 million in military pay. In addition to the 20 million in Gong Tianlei's treasure bag, he also needed to pay 20 million himself.

This put him in financial difficulty again.

Therefore, all the money in the government office must be looted.

"General!"

Soon, Meng Fanxiao came forward to report, "We've heard accurate information. The main force of Yunzhou is the Tielin Army. They're stationed in the heart of Yunzhou, over three hundred miles away from here. They have approximately fifty thousand troops!"

Yunzhou is very big, but it is not just this border city. If you go further in, you can connect to countless towns.

Lin Che had been here once before, when she was doing business with the Li family.

"Fifty thousand soldiers and horses are only from Yunzhou City... The news of our conquest of Yunzhou will soon spread throughout the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. By then, each prefecture will send troops, and the number will not be fifty thousand but five hundred thousand or five million." Lin Che opened the map and looked at it carefully.

Meng Fan was surprised and laughed: "No way? Can Yanyun Kingdom have an army of five million?"

To be honest, half a million is already exaggerated enough, let alone five million.

Lin Che explained calmly, "We definitely don't have a simple army, but the Yanyun Kingdom's royal family isn't so benevolent. They'll incite the people, arming them all and depleting our manpower. We, the Divine Machine Battalion, don't have any possibility of replenishing our troops..."

Meng Fanxiao also began to think, and said quickly: "General, what should we do? Continue to charge to the next state and continue guerrilla warfare. Or should we simply plunder and retreat first?"

"Neither—I want to use Yunzhou as my base. I'll defeat them bit by bit!"

Lin Che ordered the messenger beside him, "Pass the order down and gather the bodies of all the garrison troops and soldiers who died in the battle."

The guards nearby were slightly startled. What was the purpose of collecting corpses?

…

Yunzhou, the palace of King Tiefu.

It is a festive moment with guests and friends all around.

Prince Tiefu has started marrying beauties again. This should have been a happy thing, but the guests all seemed to have bitter expressions.

The reason is simple. Prince Tiefu marries beauties more frequently than they visit brothels.

King Tiefu was a king of a different surname from Yanyun. He had the final say in the entire Yunzhou. Therefore, he was lawless in marrying beauties. If he saw a beautiful woman on the street, he would just kidnap her.

Some women with strong tempers would rather die than obey and would simply hit their heads against the wall.

However, Prince Tiefu was so heartless that he didn't even spare the corpse...

When many Confucian scholars heard the news, they would curse: Barbarians are barbarians. They have occupied the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for so many years, but they still cannot change their barbaric habits.

Of course, King Tiefu’s style of doing things was not the reason why these guests were unhappy.

It was because King Tiefu had another characteristic: he liked to hold grand celebrations every time and have the whole world celebrate. He was happy, but it was hard for the guests who had to contribute money every few days.

But these guests dared not not come.

After finally saving up some money, he was about to give it to King Tiefu.

As a result, this group of guests could only use the power in their hands to begin to exploit the common people crazily.

At one of the guest tables, several officials were sitting together, chatting in low voices.

"Hey, Lord Xing, the gifts you gave to Prince Tiefu these two times weren't cheap. Did you get some lucrative deal?"

"Hahaha!" Lord Xing, with his full beard, smiled very proudly:

"To be honest, I recently discovered a medical family. They dared to approach Mobei to do business. They can't make much money. I captured their family members and made them pay on time every month. It's that simple..."
