After making up his mind to train Li Ye, Li Xuantian also let go of his concerns about him.

As long as the balance between the princes is maintained, there is no need to worry about Li Ye seizing the throne while he is alive.

Li Ye also needs to have enough ability to deal with Yunlu Pavilion.

We must give Li Ye enough support to help him improve his own strength.

An imperial decree was issued immediately.

Allow Li Ye to do what is convenient for him.

Everything can be done first and reported later.

As for the fate of Qin Qingxue and Shi Wushuang, Li Xuantian has not received any news yet.

This imperial edict gave Li Ye enough confidence.

Before the report on attacking Annan was sent out, Li Xuantian's imperial edict had already been delivered by a fast cavalry of eight thousand miles.

For Li Ye, this was like a pillow being delivered to him just as he was dozing off.

"It's too late. I didn't expect that the emperor's decree would come so timely.

Let's launch an attack on Annan immediately!"

Li Ye did not hesitate at all and immediately led his troops to attack Annan.

The King of Annan has been like a frightened bird these days.

Special envoys were sent to surrender and seek peace.

Orders were issued to the army, forbidding further attacks on the Dayuan Dynasty.

But the envoys he sent out were often intercepted and killed on the way.

No message came back from anyone.

It made him even more uneasy.

Finally, we received urgent news that the Dayuan army was coming.

Moreover, there is still no news about the main army led by Marshal Ye.

The King of Annan was completely panicked.

Quickly call all officials together to discuss countermeasures.

Except for a small number of troops left to protect the capital, there were not many troops stationed in other cities.

The Dayuan army was unstoppable.

Wherever they arrived, there was little resistance and the local officials surrendered immediately.

As long as you give up all your money and food, you can save your life.

Anyone who dared to continue to resist would be slaughtered without mercy after the city was captured.

There can be no sympathy for the enemy.

After the soldiers broke through the city, they saw some pitiful children.

I gave him a piece of cake.

But the child suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed the soldier in the chest.

If it weren't for the protection of armor, he would probably have died on the spot.

A child who is just over ten years old is so cruel.

Full of hatred towards the Dayuan army.

Being kind-hearted will only cost you your life.

After suffering losses, some soldiers finally became as hard-hearted as stone.

Since we have already attacked, we cannot have the slightest bit of mercy.

Force must be used to make the other party truly surrender.

We must also let the Annamites know that if they dare to resist, they will only end up dead.

The Dayuan army's offensive was so fierce that the Annan officials were also very panicked.

During the discussion, many people suggested surrender.

Some people even started packing up their belongings and planned to escape.

But the entire country of Annan is about to be destroyed, where can it escape to?

"I think the Dayuan Dynasty should surrender immediately! Agree to all their conditions!

If we continue to resist, we will all be killed!"

"Isn't this nonsense? We have already sent people to reconcile, but they just ignored us!

Does Dayuan really want to destroy us?"

"Where exactly is our army? Why can't we stop Dayuan's army?"

"The envoys we sent must have angered the other party. We should continue to send people to show our sincerity.

As long as our lives are not harmed, any request can be granted!"

"That's sheer nonsense! We must protect His Majesty the King before we can discuss other conditions!"

The officials quarreled fiercely.

The King of Annan was so angry that he vomited blood.

Only a few people still think he is safe, and other officials are only thinking about themselves.

"I think we should put all the blame on Yunlu Pavilion. If they hadn't instigated the war, we wouldn't have ended up like this!"

"What's the point of saying these things at this point? This is obviously a trap set by the Dayuan Dynasty.

I told you a long time ago, but you didn’t believe it!

Now it’s here!

Daewon-gun will not accept our surrender or peace talks, and once the army arrives, we will all be taken as prisoners."

"If it's really impossible, His Majesty should personally ask the other side to surrender.

This will demonstrate our sincerity and force the Dayuan army to stop attacking."

"What did you say?" A loyal official stared at the other party fiercely and cursed:

"You treacherous minister, in order to protect your own life, actually made Your Majesty do such a thing.

Where is the royal majesty?

Even if I die, I will never agree to it!"

"As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die. If you die, you will have nothing!

By the time the Dayuan army arrives at the city, it will be too late to surrender!

According to the information I received, anyone who dares to continue resisting will be massacred."

King Annan became even more frightened after hearing this.

A lifetime of wealth and glory, no one is willing to die.

If it could save his life, he would be willing to do it no matter how humiliating the situation was.

Looking at the noisy officials.

King Annan knew that he had to rely on himself to survive.

He immediately said: "I have decided to personally order the Dayuan Dynasty to surrender."

After all, the news was really scary.

Anyone who dares to surrender slowly will be massacred immediately after the city is captured.

He didn't dare to gamble at all.

What's more, the Dayuan army attacked again.

It has been stated that all the troops sent by Annan have been wiped out.

It is better to live than to die.

After all, he is the ruler of a country.

As long as the Dayuan Dynasty surrenders, he will be able to retain some dignity.

There is no problem in ensuring that he enjoys wealth and prosperity for the rest of his life.

When King Annan said this, most of the officials looked happy.

Only a few loyal people were in utter despair.

And I tried hard to persuade him.

I hope to find a way to fight against the Dayuan Dynasty.

But the King of Annan had completely ignored it in order to save his own life.

Make preparations as quickly as possible and personally lead all officials to surrender.

And an order was issued not to allow any local officials to continue to resist.

Li Ye led his army to capture several cities and then received news of surrender.

Not only was I not happy, but I felt regretful.

"The King of Annan is truly cowardly. He surrendered before the army even reached him.

If I had known this earlier, I should have sent assassins to kill him."

"This is the conclusion. We have successfully taken over Annan. The remaining matters can be dealt with slowly.

Even if the Annan royal bloodline remains, they won't be able to cause any trouble."

Princess Ruyue was very satisfied with this marriage.

"As long as the Annan royal bloodline survives, there will never be peace.

There will always be people who use this as an excuse to make trouble.

However, since he has already surrendered voluntarily, it is indeed inappropriate to kill him.

We’ll slowly make them disappear later.”

Li Ye doesn't want to leave himself with trouble because of these remnants.

As long as we have complete control over Annan, it won't be a big deal to make them disappear slowly.

He immediately led his troops to accept the other side's surrender.

As they walked along, all their weapons were removed.

Even the government servants did not dare to carry weapons.

Fearing misunderstanding, he found an excuse to kill them.
