Chapter 406 This guy is crazy
"Why are you acting like a child and playing tricks on me?"
“Simon is a big country and cannot do without people. If you don’t take care of it, who will?”
"My wife has run away, what's the point of having a country?
I'm going to stay with you anyway."
Bai Li felt both angry and amused when he saw Nangong Min turning into a sticky bag in seconds.
"Who said I ran away? I'm your wife wherever I am."
"No, what kind of wife is she if she's not around?"
"Oh, I'm really impressed by you. From now on, wherever you are, I'll be there, okay?"
"That's more like it!"
Nangong Min breathed a sigh of relief when Bai Li spoke again.
"I'm going to Li Kingdom tomorrow and take it down as soon as possible to avoid any complications."
"No, I want to go with you."
"No, I'm going with 5,000 troops. Simon's troops are vacant, and someone needs to guard them."
"Who are you going to send with you?"
"I'll let Wu Lanzhi and Luo Yang go. My second and third uncles can handle it on their own."
"I'm afraid your eldest brother will make a fuss if he finds out."
"Wait until he knows I've returned victorious!"
Two days later, Bai Li dispatched 5,000 soldiers and marched directly from Simon to Li.
Originally, the three countries of Li, Da Zhou, and Simon formed an obtuse triangle, with Simon being the farthest from Li.
Because the journey was long, the five thousand soldiers Bai Li selected were all cavalry, which could save most of the time in the round trip.
It takes more than a month to walk back and forth, and even longer in heavy snow or storms.
Riding a horse can save half the time, and you can also have a good New Year in Simon or Li before the end of the year.
There was no extra oath-taking speech. Bai Li, fully armed, rode a big eagle and took the lead. The cavalry was led by Wu Lanzhi and Luo Yang. She was absolutely at ease.
Nangong Min bid farewell to his wife who had wrapped herself up like a dumpling, and then plunged into the affairs of the Simon Kingdom.
He originally thought that the Great Zhou would send officials to take up the posts, but now Zhou Yu has completely abandoned it, and he has to reconsider the allocation of personnel.
It is impossible to employ people from the Great Zhou Dynasty for all civil and military officials, so the best ones must be selected from the existing officials of Simon.
To continue to employ the original officials, the first condition is that they are not Simon's diehards, and secondly, their character and morality must be examined, and all of these require people to do the work.
Fortunately, Nangong Min has his own private soldiers, and his private soldiers are best at tracking and gathering information.
Bai Li had already made up his mind to kick Simon to Nangong Min and become a hands-off boss.
"Big Eagle, are you still cold?"
Bai Li was wearing a self-heating blanket. She used the largest piece to cover herself and the eagle so that they would not be afraid of the wind and snow.
The eagle shook its big head. It was strong and healthy enough to withstand wind, frost, snow and rain. What's more, there was something that could generate heat. It felt hot while flying.
Five thousand cavalrymen, both men and horses, were packed.
Bai Li covered the cavalry with cloaks made from heating blankets, wrapped the horses' bodies with heating blankets, and wrapped the horses' hooves with anti-slip and anti-freeze iron sheets. The heavy wind and snow did not affect their journey at all, except that they were a little blinded.
To prevent snow blindness, Bai Li also gave glasses to both people and horses.
In order to arm this team, Bai Li emptied out all the antifreeze materials in the space.
Seeing that they were speeding along without being affected by the wind and snow, Bai Li urged the eagle to speed up with confidence.
Five days later, Bai Li arrived in Li State.
The temperature in Li Kingdom is around 10 degrees Celsius in winter. Bai Li put away the heating blanket and let the eagle fly directly to the capital of Li Kingdom.
In mid-air, Bai Li saw that the entire country of Li was in mourning. Almost every household hung white flags, and the wilderness was dotted with newly dug graves.
Bai Li felt depressed. If possible, she didn't want to kill so many people.
She suddenly changed her mind and planned to talk to the king of Li first, hoping that he would know the situation and give up Li on his own initiative.
If the State of Li could be conquered without bloodshed, she wouldn't have to commit more bloodshed.
She found a deserted place to stop, wrote a letter and asked Da Diao to take it to Wu Lanzhi, and then she entered the capital alone.
In the royal palace of the Kingdom of Li, the King of Li, Xuan Yuhang, has lost his appetite and become increasingly thinner since the defeat of the Li army.
"Lord, you must take care of your body before you can plan anything else. You must not fall down at this time!"
Xuan Yuyang's queen tried her best to persuade him, but to little effect.
"You go down first and leave me alone."
The queen had no choice but to retreat.
In the imperial study.
"Princess, the country is short of troops right now. Should we hurry up and recruit soldiers?"
Civil officials and military generals sat on both sides, all with worried looks on their faces.
"I think this is inappropriate. Right now, the people are in turmoil. Recruiting more soldiers will mostly consist of the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. Not only will their combat effectiveness be greatly reduced, but it could also lead to riots among the people. The gains will outweigh the losses."
"Then what do you say we should do? We have already exhausted all our 100,000 troops. Now we have less than 50,000 troops in our country. If the Great Zhou takes advantage of our weakness and invades, we will be vulnerable."
Before he could finish his words, a soldier outside came hurriedly to report.
"Report! The spies have reported that the Great Zhou has sent 80,000 troops directly to the Mongols!"
"Report! Great Zhou is sending 60,000 troops to Laos!"
"Report! Great Zhou is sending 20,000 troops to Wei!"
“…”
Speak of the devil and he will appear. The official who spoke just now wanted to slap his own stinky mouth to pieces.
Everyone looked at each other, holding on to the last bit of hope, eagerly waiting for the suffocating news.
But everyone pricked up their ears and waited for a long time but there was no further news.
"No more? Then what about our Li Kingdom?"
"The spy didn't say."
Oh my god!
Anxiously waiting for the verdict, but then being hung up, who knows how it feels?
The room was as quiet as a chicken, and everyone didn't know whether to be thankful or to prepare for a rainy day.
"Will the Great Zhou let our Li Kingdom go?"
I don't know who broke the deathly silence.
"Of course not,"
A clear and pleasant female voice sounded, and a pretty figure appeared at the door of the imperial study.
Everyone in the room looked as if they had seen a ghost, their jaws dropped to the ground in shock, and their bodies seemed to be under a spell, unable to move.
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Li, the Great Zhou's Western Expedition Marshal."
Bai Li walked into the imperial study with square steps and found a seat to sit down in a familiar manner.
"Please continue what you were discussing."
"Marshal Bai, no, I don't know why you've come here."
Xuan Yuxiang is worthy of being a superior, his psychological quality is slightly better than others.
He calmed himself down and guessed why she came.
"Are you Xuan Yuyang, the king of Li?"
The latter nodded.
"I'm sure you can guess that I'm here to claim your position as king."
That's crazy!
As soon as these words were spoken, several generals reacted and immediately slammed the table and stood up in anger.
"You are such a jerk, Bai Li! How dare you come to my Li Kingdom and act wildly? Do you think my Li Kingdom is deserted?"
A dragon-flying crossbow suddenly appeared in Bai Li's hand, and the crossbow arrow was aimed at several people, including Xuan Yuxiang.
"You are quite self-aware."
