With Li Xingyi's help, the results came out immediately!
Moreover, Li Xingyi also wrote about all the local rich men in Yunzhou, big and small, especially the relatives and cronies of King Tiefu.
Not a single one will be spared!
It’s really easy to get things done with someone.
"Ms. Li, your family is in the medicinal herb business. You should be aware of the reputations of officials, both large and small, in Yunzhou, right? Please write down which officials are recognized by the people."
Li Xingyi's face was filled with admiration. "It seems General Lin Che isn't a cruel person by nature, and he'll let good people off. Indeed, we're in business, and we know exactly which officials require bribes and how much. We also know which places don't require bribes and can trade according to the law. I'll write it down for you right away."
Lin Che thanked him again and again.
He needed Li Xingyi to write down the names of officials with good reputations, and it was not a question of whether they were cruel or not.
He just didn't want all the officials in Yunzhou to unite. As long as some of them could survive, some would be killed.
They wouldn't be in the same boat.
Moreover, he has always emphasized that the people should not be harmed, which will not provoke riots among the people of Yunzhou.
Of course, if the people riot, they will simply become his Nth undead!
Just as Lin Che was raiding properties everywhere, the news of his capture of Yunzhou had already spread across the land.
Great work, Tiandu City.
Jiang Li had just returned to the palace when he received an urgent secret letter.
"Have you already captured Yunzhou?"
Jiang Li looked at the secret letter and immediately summoned a group of core ministers, including several members of the royal family, to the imperial study to discuss the plan:
"Lin Che has already conquered Yunzhou. We must respond. This is a golden opportunity!"
Zhang Erhe, who had been promoted because of his strong support for Lin Che, straightened his jade pendant, the symbol of the Minister of Revenue, and spoke first:
"Your Majesty is wise—we should send all our troops to support you. We will grant whatever the Marquis of Champion requires, and we must not let the soldiers on the front lines down. I believe that with the Marquis of Champion's mastery of military strategy, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will return to our hands within three years."
"I believe this matter requires further consideration. Yunzhou is incredibly powerful, and it's guarded by the Iron Forest Army. Even if Lin Che and the Black Armor Army work together to defeat the enemy, how long has it been? And they've already taken Yunzhou? I believe this could be because the Marquis of Guanjun is facing a difficult situation on the front lines and is preparing to attack Yunzhou. He's looking for support... Ah. Zhang Erhe, you, you dare to use force in front of His Majesty? How presumptuous, too presumptuous."
"You old bastard, if you dare to stop me from recovering the Sixteen States, I'll whip you on behalf of your ancestors. What's the matter?"
Boom boom boom.
Jiang Li knocked on the table and glared at them:
"If you dare to do that again, I will take off your official hats."
"Your Majesty, this old minister did not do anything. It was Zhang Erhe who was the one who got beaten...Yes, I obey your order."
Jiang Li said in a deep voice, "I know what you are worried about. Dagan has just experienced turmoil. It is better to remain calm than to act. But now the Yanyun Kingdom is also seriously injured. The Mirror Division, the Shadow Guard, and even General Wen Hong of the Black Armor Army have personally sent back secret letters. The 150,000-strong Yanyun army has been defeated..."
"I summoned you here today not to discuss whether or not we should send troops to support the Marquis, but to discuss how to more effectively send troops to support the Champion. Do you understand?"
"Yes——" all the ministers answered in unison.
Qian Linggong said, "I believe the Black Armor Army is at the border. If they go to support us, both in terms of Champion Marquis's acceptance and their position will be the most advantageous. With the two armies combined, as long as we can keep up with the food and fodder, capturing Yunzhou will be a piece of cake. What I'm worried about is not the manpower, but... the sect!"
Jiang Li's pupils shrank. This was also what she was worried about.
According to the legend, there is a strong man who can stop an army of 100,000 with a single sword. What should we do if he shows up?
"Over the years, even though that powerful figure hasn't appeared, the Yin-Yang family still exists in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun! The Yin Lord is personally in charge. They believe that the future emperor will be in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Therefore, many times when we have border frictions, the Yin-Yang family will secretly help us."
"To deal with this Yin Lord, we must ask Yang Lord to take action. Otherwise, even if the Champion Marquis's cultivation is high, he is still not at the eighth level, so he is likely to be dangerous."
Jiang Li sighed softly. This eighth level: Soul Out of Body, unfortunately, there is no technique at all. She wanted to send the technique to Lin Che but couldn't.
When one reaches the eighth level, one needs to use one's own soul to comprehend and break through.
Every warrior's spirit is different, and other people's skills are completely useless.
But no matter what, she couldn't just watch Lin Che fall into danger.
Duke Qianling was different from other ministers. Other ministers only asked questions and did not bring answers. Duke Qianling continued:
"Besides negotiating terms with Lord Yang and asking him to protect Marquis Guanjun, I have three other options that require significant sacrifice. No matter who comes, they won't be able to harm Marquis Guanjun in the slightest."
"Fa Zheng, please speak."
"Ascend the Fengshan Terrace and awaken the heroic spirits of the dragon veins! Twelve heroic spirits of the dragon veins..."
"Nonsense! Absolutely not." Before Qian Fazheng could finish his words, an old prince from the royal family interrupted him loudly.
Qian Fazheng glanced at Jiang Li, and it seemed that Jiang Li was also frowning. He knew that this method indeed involved too great a sacrifice.
He had no choice but to stop and continue, "The second method is for Your Majesty to offer the [Edict of Confession] and expose the mistakes of past emperors to the public. This technique will damage the prestige of past emperors, but Your Majesty can gain the power of Heaven, and your cultivation..."
