At this moment, Shao'an arrived upon hearing the news and waved his hand, indicating, "If you want to tie him up, I'll go and ask His Majesty for permission."
"Huh? The Wuyi actually sued for peace?"
Yao Yao said, and a general following closely behind her also spoke up, "Bah, that dog of a traitor, didn't he also beg for peace before? But now he's repeatedly violating our borders."
But another soldier said, "No, no, no, we all value peace above all else. Besides, with a large army pressing in, they certainly can't cause any trouble."
…………
Seeing them arguing so fiercely, Yaoyao spoke up again, "Do you think we should agree to Ukra's request for peace?"
"want"
"don't want"
Two voices appeared.
Yao Yao stood up. "But I think, no."
One of the generals who had agreed to sue for peace hurriedly said, "Why? Throughout history, we have always valued peace above all else. Besides, our food supplies are running low and we won't last more than a few days."
Yao Yao glanced at him and said, "Seek peace? Ha, think about it, how many times has the Wuyi tribe sought peace with our Great Qi before?"
A century ago, the Wuyi sued for peace, but what about now? They invade our borders and slaughter the people of our Great Qi. Going back further, in the early days of our nation, the Wuyi shamelessly allied with other countries to repeatedly invade our Great Qi, and we sued for peace then too. But what happened in the end? Great Qi let the Wuyi go time and time again. But the Wuyi will never remember our kindness!
Then Yaoyao sat down again. "Now, seeking peace is no longer a strategic means; it has become the Wuyi's lifeline." She then looked around at the generals. "And you are here, desperately trying to protect this lifeline!"
The generals present all lowered their heads in shame. Indeed, they thought it was better to avoid trouble and wanted a peaceful resolution, but they couldn't guarantee that the Wuyi would continue to commit the same offenses as before.
"Your Majesty, let's fight! We are not afraid of those Wuyi bastards."
"Yes, I agree!"
"Fight! I refuse to believe that my Great Qi cannot defeat a mere Wuyi!"
Ukra, who had been suppressed, was originally full of confidence that the people of Daqi would agree to sue for peace, and waited leisurely.
Two soldiers entered, opened the cell door, and roughly dragged Ukra away.
Ukra sensed something was wrong. "What are you doing? I've come to sue for peace with your Great Qi!"
A soldier sneered, "Ha, beg my ass! Our Emperor said he refuses your pleas for peace and will drag you out to be sacrificed to the flag!"
Upon hearing this, Ukra naturally understood that the peace talks had fallen through, and he panicked.
"Let me go! I want to negotiate with your Great Qi Emperor! So what if you don't agree to peace? My Wuyi soldiers are not to be trifled with!"
However, the two soldiers ignored Ukla and forcibly dragged him away.
He felt relieved. Most of the soldiers of Daqi hated the Wuyi to the bone. His comrades and friends who had been with him for many years had died in battle because of the constant harassment by the Wuyi. How could he not be angry?
Naturally, no one wavered.
Soon, Wu Kela was dragged in front of Yao Yao. Wu Kela struggled desperately, "Emperor of Great Qi! I've come to sue for peace! Aren't you Central Plains people the most concerned with valuing peace?"
Shao'an sneered, "Heh, valuing peace above all else? We'll have to see if you truly value peace above all else."
Then, with a wave of his hand, the archer who had been waiting for a long time shot an arrow straight through Ukla's chest.
And so, Ukra died with his eyes wide open in dismay, but no one cared.
The Wuyi people, believing the peace agreement was a done deal, had become lax in their defenses. When the Qi forces stormed in, they were killed before they could even react.
The Wuyi, a malignant tumor that had plagued the Great Qi for hundreds of years, was thus removed.
The campaign against the Wuyi tribes lasted only two months. When the army returned to the capital, the streets were lined with people.
