Chapter 407 Easily Conquering the Kingdom of Li
"Indeed, are there any more people from your country of Li?"
"You're going too far! I'm going to fight you!"
"Hey, stop. Do you know what this crossbow is called?"
Bai Li's crossbow had twenty feathered arrows on the string ready to be fired. Her finger was on the trigger. As long as she moved her finger slightly, these twenty crossbow arrows would shoot at each of them.
The three generals swallowed their saliva. They didn't dare to take the risk. Their outstretched fists froze two feet in front of Bai Li, not daring to move forward an inch.
"That's right. A man who knows the times is a hero. Your Li Kingdom is short of troops now. It's only a matter of time before your country is destroyed."
Everyone was so angry that they gritted their teeth, but they couldn't do anything to her.
Bai Li's name has long been feared by everyone, and everyone in the six countries knows him.
Not to mention the various crossbows she invented that have long range and can fire continuously, just her sky thunder alone is enough to make people shudder.
At first, when Simon of Laos fought against it, he thought it was the thunder from heaven that came to his aid. Later, he found out that it was a powerful weapon developed by Bai Li, which could kill people invisibly. The most terrifying thing was that once the thunder from heaven came out, everyone would be wiped out!
Most of the 100,000 soldiers of their Li Kingdom died here.
Now the owner of the heavenly thunder is right in front of her. She must be full of heavenly thunder, otherwise she would not dare to break into the palace alone!
"Hmm, Marshal Bai, I sent troops to the Great Zhou because I believed slander and offended the Great Zhou. Now, can I cede land and pay compensation to you to atone for my sin?"
Bai Li remained silent about Xuan Yuxiang's self-righteous plan.
She glanced at him with a half-smile, as if he were watching a joke.
"I don't know whether you are crazy or you just believed in slander, but you actually dared to send troops to attack the Great Zhou.
However, no matter what, you are not a qualified king, so just abdicate and let someone more capable take over!"
"you!"
"What do you mean?! I'm here to inform you, not to discuss anything with you!"
"As long as I want, I can raze your Li Kingdom to the ground anytime and anywhere, believe it or not!"
Xuan Yuxiang's expression changed. He believed it, of course he believed it. It was because he believed it that he was afraid.
Bai Li lost his patience. This Xuan Yuyang was indeed a power-hungry man who had no regard for those innocent soldiers at all.
"You clearly know that resistance will lead to your own death, yet you still want to drag all your troops with you to die with you. Someone like you who disregards the lives of others and the people is not worthy of being the ruler of a country!"
"You..., I..."
Xuan Yuxiang wanted to refute, but he was speechless.
The expressions of the others changed again and again, and Bai Li's words hit them directly in the heart.
Everyone knows the current situation of the Kingdom of Li, and they are also responsible for the current predicament.
If they hadn't been greedy for a piece of the pie from the Great Zhou, there wouldn't be the situation today.
It can be said that they were also half responsible for Bai Li's scolding.
If the soldiers under him knew about this, they would definitely lose their faith in the court.
No matter what choice they make now, they have no chance of winning.
No, they have no way out at all!
"My patience is limited. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to consider whether you will resign voluntarily or I will kill you and take over the Kingdom of Li."
There is no choice at all, so what is there to consider?
If you want to save your life, you have to do as she says.
Xuan Yuxiang had a dejected look on his face, knowing that the situation was hopeless and there was no way to turn things around.
Finally, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, he said weakly, "If I give up my throne, can you leave me and my family with an intact body?"
Bai Li sneered, "Who said I wanted your lives?"
ah?
Everyone was puzzled. Generally, the kings of defeated countries would suffer a very miserable fate. In the very least, their entire family would be executed to prevent future troubles.
In serious cases, men would be torn into pieces by five horses, and women would be demoted to slavery and serve as military prostitutes, never to be able to rise again.
With Bai Li like this, they can’t do anything about it.
"You really won't kill us?"
Xuan Yuxiang was so ecstatic that he almost lost his mind.
Bai Li repeatedly affirmed and agreed to sign an agreement with him, on the condition that the Xuan Yuyang family would be demoted to commoners from then on and would never be allowed to take the imperial examinations and serve as officials in the court.
Xuan Yuyang agreed immediately. Being demoted to a commoner was not the same as being a slave. His descendants could make a living by doing business even if they did not have to become officials. This was much better than losing their heads immediately!
The two sides happily reached a consensus, and neither the civil officials nor the military generals dared to say a word. They were now like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Bai Li easily conquered the Kingdom of Li. Under her iron-blooded force, she broke the limbs of those unwilling generals and threw them all into jail.
The Xuanyu family completely submitted to Bai Li's tyranny, moved out of the palace obediently, and settled in a village in the suburbs. No one dared to make trouble.
Three days later, when Luo Yang arrived at Li State with his cavalry, Li State had completely changed and became the world of Bai Li.
This result was within everyone's expectations.
The only surprise was that she conquered the State of Li without losing a single soldier.
Wu Lanzhi had experience in managing government affairs, so Bai Li immediately handed the mountain of case files to her. Luo Yang took over the military command of the Li Kingdom and commanded all the military forces of the Li Kingdom.
The two men complained bitterly, and Wu Lanzhi said, "I can manage a small government office, but this is a country. How can I have the ability to do that?"
"They're all pretty much the same. If you have any questions, just ask me."
Luo Yang also wanted to give up. He wanted to stay with Bai Li, but he didn't want to be a general protecting the country.
Bai Li had no choice but to coax them, "You guys take care of it for me first, and it will be fine after the New Year when my brother and uncle come."
The two had no choice but to agree.
Not long after Bai Li conquered the State of Li, the troops sent by the Great Zhou also won victories one after another.
Bai Zongren and the Li family army captured the Mongolian Kingdom in ten days.
At that time, the enemy was at the gates of the city. It was said that the king of Meng still wanted to resist stubbornly. It was the third prince of Meng who stole the military command and imperial seal of Meng and gave them to Bai Zongren. The king of Meng then committed suicide in hatred.
Next was Laos. General Li and Shangguan Yu led their troops all the way to the palace and captured Laos at the cost of more than half of their troops being killed or wounded.
Wei was a tiny country with a population of only tens of thousands. When the Zhou army arrived, they simply opened the city gates and surrendered.
They also have self-knowledge. The Great Zhou is now like a sleeping lion that has awakened. The small Wei State is not enough to fill its teeth. They surrender early to prevent the people from suffering.
Because they knew that the Great Zhou army would not kill them all, but would give special treatment to the common people.
By the end of the year, five of the six countries had changed hands, with Bai Li and Zhou Yu each in charge of three countries.
That’s right, Zhou Yu disliked the State of Wei for being too small, so he simply gave it to Bai Li as a gift, and that’s how Bai Li ended up having three countries.
In fact, the territory of Wei State and Li State is similar, but Wei State is located in the west, backed by the ocean, and is sparsely populated.
Simon is in the north, Li is in the south, and Wei is in the west, with the Great Zhou in between. Zhou Yu's arrangement is interesting.
