Qian Yeming and Baili Yi were both prepared. If these ministers of Xiliang were ignorant of the current situation and continued to resist after Yelu Boyan submitted his surrender, they could not be blamed for killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Qian Yeming, Baili Xiao, Baili Yi, and Baili Han, these four people, what could they not imagine? Therefore, when they entered Xijing, what would happen in Xijing City and what they should do, these four people thought they had thought of everything.
But when they entered Xijing and the officials ran out crying, knelt before them and begged them for mercy, the four of them still couldn't help but be collectively dumbfounded.
What is going on?
Why do these officials act as if they have seen their benefactors when they see them?
The four of them looked at each other, and all felt that the country of Xiliang was very strange.
Logically speaking, Xiliang should be the most powerful military power in the Jiuzhou Continent besides the Northern Wei. Even if Baili Xiao invented bombs or other invincible weapons, in line with humanitarian principles, when they captured Xiliang, in order to avoid large-scale casualties, these modern technologies were used very sparingly.
More often than not, when two armies faced each other, they still used cold weapons.
However, Xiliang's ability to defend itself was extremely weak, which even made everyone feel that the emperors of the two countries personally taking part in the attack on Xiliang was a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
In the minds of Qian Yeming and Baili Xiao, Yelu Boyan, while not as intelligent as they were, was still considered a great hero. But now, they had conquered Xiliang with minimal effort, without even a single casualty, in a month and a half. Furthermore, upon entering Kyoto, they were greeted with tearful respect by the Xiliang officials. This truly struck them as incredibly strange.
One can't help but wonder, could it be that Yelu Boyan has some other conspiracy?
But looking at the Xiliang ministers who were crying in grievance, it didn’t seem like this!
Finally, Baili Xiao couldn't help it and called on a second-rank official of the imperial court who was crying the most and asked him to explain what was going on.
At Baili Xiao's instruction, the official finally told Baili Feng with tears in his eyes all the atrocious things he had done in the capital of Xiliang over the past month and a half.
Finally, he added, "Wow... This humble official also had a relationship with Xuanyuan Chun. I was afraid that Prince Yong's people would find this humble official. For the past month and a half, I have not even dared to go to court, let alone stay at home. I have been hiding in the secret room of a distant relative all day long.
Some time ago, my home was burned down. Although there were not many casualties, such a beautiful home was destroyed in broad daylight, and countless gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings were inside..."
At this point, the official sighed and pleaded, "I dare not ask for compensation. I only ask the Emperor of Northern Wei and the Emperor of Nanyue to help me and save the lives of me and my entire family of 278 people!"
"Please ask the Emperor of Northern Wei and the Emperor of Nanyue to help us!"
After the official recounted his experience, the other officials who were welcoming him at the city gate also knelt down.
Although they are officials of Xiliang and should care about the life and death of Xiliang, but people are like this, only after they have a small family can they take care of the whole family. If even their closest relatives live in fear every day,
