Hearing General Wu's ridicule and disdain, Lu Yun's face suddenly turned cold, and he said helplessly, "I'm giving you a chance. If you can follow me, you can live. Isn't that good? Do you really want to die?"
"Mr. Lu, I will never follow you even if I die. This is my bottom line. How many times do you want me to say it?"
Seeing that General Wu looked very determined, Lu Yun sighed. Since he insisted on thinking so, there was nothing he could do.
"Okay, if you don't follow me, then I won't let you leave alive."
Lu Yun sent him to the execution ground without saying a word. There was no other way. Keeping such a person alive would be a threat. He could not leave any hope for such a person on the battlefield.
If sending him away puts yourself in danger, that would be the biggest mistake.
After Furong City was destroyed, it meant that they were one step closer to success. The most important thing was that taking over Furong City meant that the Miao Kingdom would also be taken over soon.
By then, he will be able to completely control the three southwestern countries in his own hands.
The former imperial palace of Furong City. Chen Yuan'er came to this familiar place at this moment and saw that the palace had become empty. All the valuable treasures had been looted, leaving only the empty hall.
However, Chen Yuaner missed it very much, after all, this was where he had always stayed when he was a child.
"I miss it so much. I was so happy and comfortable in the palace back then, but after growing up, I wasn't so happy anymore. Every day was filled with sorrow."
"We have to worry about all kinds of things every day. Why should we grow up?"
"My brother told me that when he was young, he wouldn't think too much even if he was very busy. But since he became emperor, many burdens have been placed on him. He admits that being an emperor is completely useless."
"He feels that he is quite happy being an ordinary person, even though ordinary people don't have so many rights."
When Lu Yun heard these words, he also had some insights. As you grow up, you will have all kinds of troubles.
Chen Yuaner's royal brother, Chen Mu, was once the emperor of Shu Kingdom. Now he has become an ordinary person and no longer has any fighting spirit in his heart.
He just wanted to live the rest of his life in peace and stability. Chen Yuan'er could understand this, but she just felt sorry for her royal brother.
After staying in Furong City for a short time, their army directly chose to attack the former territory of the Miao Kingdom. They still followed the waterway, but this time the speed was much faster and more rapid.
Although the three southwestern kingdoms were important to the Han Empire, the Miao Kingdom was their least important territory! Therefore, the attack on the Miao Kingdom was very quick.
At the same time, the Han emperor in the Weiyang Palace also received the news that Furong City had been captured, but this was all within expectations.
The chief eunuch Liu Xin explained in his hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, although Furong City has been taken, there is also good news. That is, Furong City persisted longer than we did. The reason for this is..."
“It was only because of the joining of the martial arts sects during the attack on Furong City that we were able to delay them for a while.
Your Majesty's strategy is correct. These martial arts sects have deep roots and will be very effective on the battlefield!"
"Your Majesty, you are truly a man of vision and skill. You immediately guessed the key to the problem and solved it so perfectly. I truly admire you!"
The emperor listened to his words with an excited look on his face, and praised Liu Xin, "You still understand me, but the situation is still very chaotic."
"The seventy-two masters from the Miao Kingdom will definitely not choose to help us."
"After all, their Saint is in Lu Yun's hands. Even though she chose to betray them, it won't have any impact on them."
"Your Majesty, we've been working tirelessly to make gunpowder. Meanwhile, martial artists from other areas have already rushed over, and they're really annoying that guy named Lu!"
"Next, he will definitely choose to move east. There are two ways. One is to directly attack our capital."
"But this Lu guy is definitely not that stupid. If he chooses to attack our capital directly, he will die miserably!"
"The areas around the capital are all filled with strong soldiers and horses, and each of them exists to protect the capital and preserve the Han Empire, so they are naturally the strongest.
Even the border guards were no match for the army from the capital."
"Besides, the total number of troops here even exceeds 600,000. How dare they come with such a powerful force? We will defeat them all in one fell swoop."
The emperor felt that the eunuch's analysis was very reasonable, and he also thought so. However, at this time, he also thought about it carefully.
"What if this guy doesn't follow the usual path?"
"Your Majesty, even if he is unconventional, he would not dare to do so. Unless he really dares to come, then we will destroy him in one fell swoop."
"In my opinion, he will definitely destroy the territory in the southeast first, and then we will be surrounded in Chang'an."
"That's right. I'll just wait and see if Lu Yun can finally reach Chang'an!"
…
In just one month, they successfully conquered the Miao Kingdom. Lu Yun truly controlled the three southwestern kingdoms, and even the grassland was in his hands.
And now, he has completely possessed the strength to challenge the larger Han Empire, but his foundation is still a little lacking.
After all, the Han Empire had existed for so many years and had accumulated a lot of heritage that most people couldn't imagine. Even if Lu Yun was the chosen one and had the blood of the Qin Emperor, it was just a glimpse into the universe.
On this day, Lu Yun was in the former imperial palace in the capital of the Great Zhou. As he had taken over the lands of the three southwestern kingdoms, he naturally had a great guarantee, so he brought Liang Jing, Chen Mu, and Bai Xiaoxiao back.
At first they were all reluctant, after all they were already used to living on the grassland, but Lu Yun kept inviting them, so they had no choice but to agree.
Bai Xiaoxiao handed over many things on the grassland to his subordinates, so there won't be any problems in the short term.
Liang Jing originally wanted to continue staying on the grassland, thinking how free and easy it would be, watching the sheep and horses every day.
But the reality is that she has to come back...
As they all gathered in the former Shangjing City, Liang Jing felt very emotional that he was back, everything was back!
When I returned to the capital of the Great Zhou and saw the scenes of the past, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
