Jiang Tian's car arrived at the city gate.
"The garrison on the city wall, open the city gate and come out to clean the area!" Ling Yunzhi shouted at the city wall.
The garrison soldiers looked at each other, all staring at Li Fengnian.
"Your Majesty, if we open the city gates, it will be easy for them to kill us."
"Your Majesty, at this critical moment, you must not open the city gates."
"Your Majesty, I also believe that opening the city gates is tantamount to courting death."
Just then, Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba arrived, carrying the Tsar Cannon at breakneck speed.
This Tsar Cannon was incredibly powerful.
Everyone on the city wall just saw it.
Li Fengnian also knew.
If that Tsar Cannon were to fire a shot at the city wall...
The city gate suddenly burst open.
Even the city walls couldn't hold it.
When people rush in at that point, they'll look even worse.
"Guards! Open the city gates at once!" Li Fengnian roared.
The civil and military officials all knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"
Li Fengnian glared at everyone.
"Tell me, who can stop this army?"
"If anyone can stop me, I won't open the city gates?"
Li Fengnian's words left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
Whether it was Qi Dangguo, who led troops into battle, or Li Yunfei, Wang Tianyou, and others.
None of them were a match for Li Yuanba or Xiang Yu.
The crowd knelt there silently.
"Heroes and brave men below the city gate, please wait a moment." Li Fengnian smiled slightly at Jiang Tian below the city gate, "We will open the city gate now and let all of you heroes and brave men in."
Soon, the city gate slowly opened.
"Stop kneeling!" Li Fengnian kicked out, sending Qi Dangguo and the others sprawling on their backs.
"Come with me to greet them."
Upon hearing Li Fengnian's words, the civil and military officials all wailed in despair, as if they had lost their parents.
"Your Majesty, please do not act so impulsively."
"If the king goes out of the city to greet you, he will be in danger."
"Your Majesty, please think twice before you act."
Li Fengnian glanced at everyone and said, "How could I have such a bunch of good-for-nothings as my ministers?"
If the enemy storms in and I don't greet them, they could easily find an excuse to wipe us out.
The Northern Liang had only a population of ten to twenty million.
The regular army only numbers around 400,000 to 500,000.
The Kushan army of 300,000 was completely wiped out in less than an hour.
If the other side wants to break in.
They could wipe them out in less than an hour.
Li Fengnian didn't want to end up like that.
Li Fengnian led his civil and military officials and rushed out in unison.
After leaving the city, Li Fengnian, along with his civil and military officials, respectfully approached Jiang Tian's carriage.
"I am Li Fengnian, the King of Beiliang, and I welcome you all."
After speaking, Li Fengnian led the civil and military officials to kneel on one knee.
Jiang Tian nodded in satisfaction.
"Your Majesty of Northern Liang need not stand on ceremony with me."
"Just lead the way."
Soon, the King of Beiliang led his entourage ahead.
Jiang Tian's car followed closely behind.
More than a dozen large trucks followed closely behind Jiang Tian.
Behind them were 2,000 elite cavalrymen led by Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba.
These elite cavalrymen, clad in gleaming armor, rode their warhorses with imposing and majestic presence.
The people in the city had never seen such an army before.
They stood on both sides of the street.
"I've heard that this is the army of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"The deafening sound just now was made by them."
"The Kushans were too arrogant and bullied us. As a result, we were utterly defeated and humiliated by their 2,000-plus men."
The group headed straight for the imperial city.
...
Above the main hall of the imperial palace.
Peace and prosperity reigned.
Accompanied by soothing music, hundreds of dancers performed a captivating dance.
Before everyone, a dazzling array of delicacies from land and sea were neatly arranged.
Two palace maids knelt before each person.
The two palace maids poured wine and served them food.
Li Fengnian, the King of Northern Liang, frequently raised his cup.
"We apologize for not being able to take good care of you all who have come from afar,"
"Everyone, please don't stand on ceremony, just make yourselves at home."
"If you need anything, just say the word, and I will do my best to satisfy you."
Jiang Tian looked at the King of Beiliang.
Those dozen or so Kushan envoys had long been expelled from the palace.
The King of Beiliang walked up to Jiang Tian, holding a large wine cup.
"My lord, I, Wang, would like to offer you a toast."
After he finished speaking, Li Fengnian, the King of Beiliang, knelt down on one knee.
Although the civil and military officials under the King of Beiliang were extremely shocked upon seeing this, they dared not act rashly.
After all, Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba were right in front of Jiang Tian.
They had witnessed the abilities of both Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba.
They had also witnessed the capabilities of those 2,000 cavalrymen.
Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba's 2,000 cavalrymen have already entered the city.
They have no chance of winning if they take action.
“There’s something I don’t understand,” Jiang Tian said, taking a sip of wine. “The Kushan Empire is thousands of miles away from you. Why did they travel all that way to come here?”
"Your Excellency is unaware of this."
"The Kushan envoy told us that they want to pass through our Northern Liang to attack Great Xia."
Jiang Tian frowned: "You idiots actually agreed?"
