Chapter 603 Destroy the country
Li Xun had arranged everything in advance. Early the next morning, regardless of whether the old king of Chengzhou was willing or not, the edict issued with the king's jade seal, and the old king voluntarily abdicated and appointed him as the new king. The edict took effect immediately on the day of the edict issued.
Li Xun prefers to live in the military camp. He no longer interferes in the follow-up matters, but leaves them to Hou Quan to complete.
Li Xun was a little worried that Jun Lu could not let go, which was understandable. A new king who relied entirely on foreign forces was actually just a puppet. If he really wanted to go to himself alone, Jun Lu might have many concerns.
The situation in the northern part of the Western Regions was not completely suppressed, but the soldiers were a little tired after a series of wars, so Li Xun prepared to let the army rest for three days, and then attack Bilan Kingdom, completely destroying this country with the greatest hostility to him, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, and shocking the countries in the Western Regions.
Li Xun was completely over-thinking, and the development of the matter was very in line with his wishes. On the day the old king's abdication edict was issued, Jun Lu was assassinated on the way home and almost died. This made Jun Lu completely give up all his concerns and now he has no way out. Except for following Li Xun wholeheartedly, everything else is dead. Therefore, Jun Lu immediately found Li Xun, hoping to get some support from the army.
Li Xun gave Hou Quan three thousand soldiers, asking him to cooperate with him to gain the upper hand.
Three days later, the old king died suddenly, and Bolu succeeded to the throne in front of the spirit, and immediately launched crazy revenge and massacre against the royal family members.
On this day, Li Xun led 13,000 troops to march into Bilan Kingdom.
Bilan Kingdom is not a big country. Twenty years ago, it was even more unknown in the Western Regions. However, since Zhehe became the king, he has worked hard to govern and expand his military preparations, which has greatly developed the entire country. In terms of military strength, it is relatively powerful among the countries in the Western Regions. The reason why Zhan Bai was able to complete his plan was that the 20,000 elite soldiers of Bilan Kingdom were in his hands was the key.
In particular, Zheji's brother Zhesha was a brave general. He made great reputation in the war against the Dashi Empire. The two brothers were both civil and military, making Bilan Kingdom completely famous in the Western Regions.
However, with Zhan Bo's defeat, Zhesha died in battle, Ji Ge's main force was wiped out, and a series of major strikes were also caused. In addition, Li Xun is now leading a large army to the city, Bilan Kingdom is now in turmoil and in danger.
The destruction of Ji Ge's entire army and Li Xun successfully captured Xingcheng, the capital of Chengzhou. These news had already reached Bilan Kingdom two days ago. For a time, people were in panic. Many people spread rumors, rumored that the Jin army was cruel and unkind, burned, killed, killed and even slaughtered. The spread of these news made the people who were already panic even more in a state of chaos. Many people at the bottom chose to escape. Their family had few villains, so it was indeed easy to leave, but the nobles and merchants with great families could not take away their family business. If they did not leave, they were afraid of being liquidated by the Jin army. They were confused and helpless, hesitant, and panic. This is a true portrayal of the minds of these people.
"King, General Bai Wei opened the city gate and surrendered. The capital... the capital has been broken by the Jin army."
A guard ran in crying and fell to Tseok.
Tsheji glanced at him, his face was dull and he didn't say anything.
The guard looked up at Takagi and said in panic: "Master, what should we do?"
Takagi asked calmly, "What do you think should I do?"
The guard stood up and wiped his tears: "Let's run quickly, the Jin army is about to enter the palace. If you don't run away, it will be too late."
Takagi nodded, as if he agreed.
The guards looked happy. In his opinion, two days ago, news of the Jin army successfully rescuing Xingcheng came. At that time, Zheji should have escaped immediately. If he didn't want to run away, he would surrender voluntarily. There were still some chances. However, Zheji neither surrendered nor ran away, as if nothing had happened, which made many people puzzled. However, Zheji had a high prestige. He didn't say it, and the people below dared not ask more questions.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Takagi was still sitting there without any intention of moving, the guard was a little anxious and went forward to pull him.
"King, let's go quickly. Let's go to Loulan. Loulan can provide us with safety, I..."
The guard's voice suddenly stopped, he looked down and a short sword had been inserted into his chest.
"Your king..."
The guard looked at Takagi in disbelief, not understanding what the king was irritating, but suddenly killed him.
Zhe pushed the guard away and looked at the guards who were dead on the ground. His calm face became extremely ferocious. He stepped on the guard's body with his feet and shouted loudly: "I am the king of a country. How can I eat it if I am lamented? Even if I die, I will never let the barbarians in Loulan Country laugh at you. Your country is useless, and you don't want to kill the enemy and serve the country. You just want to live a life of silence. You don't want to die, but I just let you die first."
After saying that, Zheji laughed and walked out of the hall.
Looking at the fire in the distance, Li Xun frowned and said unhappy: "Who dared to disobey my orders and set fire at will?"
Hearing this, the generals on both sides quickly said that they had already ordered their subordinates to set fires, and that the matter of setting fires was definitely not done by themselves.
Not long after, Li Cunxiao came over on horseback. He led his troops to attack and occupy the palace. He went quickly and returned quickly.
Li Xun sternly questioned Li Cunxiao: "Did you let someone release the fire?"
"How dare the last general disobey the commander of the commander?"
Li Cunxiao explained: "Zheji, the king of Bilan Kingdom, killed his queen and dozens of concubines and children, and then set fire to the palace." So that's it. Li Xun was silent. Such a large fire could not be completed in just one moment. It seems that three days ago, the news of the destruction of Ji Ge's entire army was sent back, and Zheji had already made plans to burn both jade and stone.
Li Xun shook his head and said in a low voice: "As the king of a country, Zheji is also very strong."
It is easy to say that it is better to die than surrender. The king will die, but not many of them actually happen. Most of the kings who destroyed the country cannot escape death, but passively accept this death is the majority, and very few people who take the initiative to die. After all, there are still very few people who are not afraid of death.
Li Xun pointed to Li Cunxiao and said, "I will give you three thousand soldiers to stabilize the security and order in the city, and immediately send someone to put out the fire and clean up the mess."
"Yes, Grandmaster."
Li Cunxiao took the order and left.
Afterwards, Li Xun found Niu Jin again and explained some things, then left the city, led 10,000 troops, and continued to set off.
Taking over Bilan Kingdom was a waste of one soldier. Before he could fight, the city lord general opened the city and surrendered, which really saved Li Xun a lot of trouble.
