Chapter 603: Destroying the Country
Li Xun had already arranged everything in advance, and early the next morning, regardless of whether the old king of Cheng Zhou was willing or not, the edict stamped with the king's jade seal was issued, and the old king voluntarily abdicated, and designated Yu Lu as the new king, and the edict took effect immediately on the day it was issued.
Li Xun prefers to live in the barracks, and he no longer interferes in the follow-up matters, but leaves them to Hou Quan to complete.
Li Xun is a little worried that Yu Lu will not be able to let go of his hands and feet, which is also understandable, a new king who completely relies on foreign forces, in fact, is a puppet, and he really wants to fall to himself alone, and Yu Lu may also have a lot of concerns.
The situation in the northern part of the Western Regions has not been completely suppressed, but after a series of wars, the soldiers are a little tired, so Li Xun is ready to let the army rest for three days, and then go straight to Bilan Kingdom, completely eliminate the country that is the most hostile to him, kill chickens and monkeys, and deter the countries of the Western Regions.
Li Xun was completely overwhelmed, the development of things was very in line with his own wishes, on the day of the old king's abdication edict, Yu Lu was assassinated on the way home, almost killed, which made Yu Lu completely give up all concerns, now there is no way out, except for following Li Xun with all his heart, the others are a dead end, so Yu Lu immediately found Li Xun, hoping to get some military support.
Li Xun gave Hou Quan 3,000 soldiers and asked him to fully cooperate with Yu Lu.
Three days later, the old king died violently, and Yu Lu succeeded to the throne in front of the spirit, and immediately launched a frenzied revenge and massacre against the royal family.
It was also on this day that Li Xun led 13,000 troops and marched into the country of Bilan.
Bilan is not a big country, twenty years ago in the Western Regions is even more unknown, but since Zhe Ji became the king, he has made great efforts to expand his military equipment, so that the whole country has developed greatly, in terms of military strength, among the countries in the Western Regions, it is relatively powerful, the reason why Zhan Bai was able to complete his plan, the 20,000 elite soldiers of Bilan in his hands, is the key.
In particular, Zheji's brother Zhesha is a powerful general, in the war against the Dashi Empire, he established a great reputation, and the two brothers have one article and one martial arts, making Bilan Kingdom completely famous in the Western Regions.
However, with the defeat of Zhan Bai, the death of Zhesha, the annihilation of the 70,000 main force of Ji Ge, and a series of major blows, plus now Li Xun is leading a large army to the city, the current Bilan Kingdom is already stormy and in danger.
Brother Ji's whole army was destroyed, and Li Xun successfully took the capital of Chengzhou Guoxingcheng, these news, two days ago, had been transmitted to Bilan Kingdom, for a while, people were panicked, many people spread falsehoods, rumors that the Jin army was brutal and unkind, burned and plundered, killed people when they saw them, and even ate people, the spread of these news made the people who were already panicked, and they were even more confused, many low-level people chose to flee, their families are small, and it is indeed easy to leave, but those nobles and businessmen with big businesses are gone, The family business cannot be taken away, and if they don't leave, they are afraid of being liquidated by the Jin army, they are helpless, hesitant, and flustered, which is a true portrayal of these people's hearts.
"Great King, General Bai Si has opened the city gate and surrendered, and the national capital... The national capital has been broken by the Jin army. ”
One of the guards ran in crying and fell to his knees in front of Tetsuji.
Zheji glanced at him, his face was blank, and he didn't say anything.
The guard looked up at Zheji and said with a panicked expression, "King, what should we do?" ”
Tetsuji asked in a calm tone, "What do you say I should do?" ”
The guard stood up and wiped his tears: "Let's run, the Jin army is about to enter the palace, and it will be too late if you don't run." ”
Tetsuji nodded, as if in agreement.
The guard's face was happy, in his opinion, two days ago, the news that the Jin army had successfully relieved the siege of Xingcheng came, at that time Zheji should have fled immediately, if he didn't want to run, then take the initiative to surrender, there are still some opportunities, but Zheji neither surrendered nor ran away, as if nothing had happened, so that many people were very puzzled, but Zheji's prestige was very high, he didn't say it, and the people below didn't dare to ask more.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Zheji was still sitting there, without any intention of moving, the guard was a little anxious and stepped forward to pull him.
"Wang, let's go, let's go to Loulan, Loulan can provide us with safety, I ....."
The guard's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked down to see a short sword already in his chest.
"Your Majesty..."
The guards looked at Zheji in disbelief, not understanding what kind of nerves the king had, and he actually killed himself suddenly.
Zhe Ji pushed the guards away, looking at the dead guards on the ground, his calm face became extremely hideous, he stepped on the guard's corpse with his foot, and roared loudly: "I am the king of a country, how can I eat the food that comes to me, even if I die, I will never let the group of barbarians in Loulan country laugh, your country is a waste, you don't want to kill the enemy to serve the country, blindly steal life, you don't want to die, I just let you die first." ”
After speaking, Tetsuji laughed and walked out of the main hall.
Looking at the fire in the distance, Li Xun frowned and said displeasedly: "Who dares to disobey my orders and wantonly set fires?" ”
Hearing this, the generals on the left and right hurriedly said that they had strictly ordered their subordinates to set fire to the fire.
It didn't take long for Li Cunxiao to come on horseback, and he led his troops and horses to attack and occupy the palace, going fast and coming back quickly.
Li Xun sharply questioned Li Cunxiao: "You let people set the fire?" ”
"How dare the last general disobey the orders 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 the case, Li Xun was silent, such a large-scale fire can't be completed in a moment or three, it seems that as early as three days ago, the news of the destruction of Brother Ji's entire army came back, and Zheji had already prepared for the jade to burn.
Li Xun shook his head and said lightly: "As the king of a country, Zheji can be regarded as having backbone. ”
It is easy to say that it is easier to die than to surrender, the king of the country is destroyed, but there are not many things that really happen, most of the kings of the country who die, although many of them cannot escape death, but this death, passively accept is the majority, and there are still very few who take the initiative to die, after all, there are still very few people who are not afraid of death.
Li Xun pointed at Li Cunxiao and said, "I'll give you 3,000 soldiers and horses to stabilize the public order in the city, and immediately send someone to extinguish the fire and clean up the mess." ”
"Yes, Marshal."
Li Cunxiao took the order and left.
Subsequently, Li Xun found Niu Jin again, explained some things, and then went out of the city, led 10,000 troops, and continued to set off.
Taking Bilan Country can be said to be without spending a single soldier, and before it is fought, the main defender of the city will surrender in Kaicheng, which really saves Li Xun a lot of trouble.
Bilan Kingdom is only one of Li Xun's goals, his ultimate target is Loulan Kingdom, after Brother Ji was wiped out, only Loulan Kingdom is still a threat to himself in the northern countries of the Western Regions, and the rest of the countries are not to worry about at all.
