Chapter 120: I don't want to be the king of a dead country

As soon as they heard this, many courtiers immediately smiled.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The entire Jinluan Hall was filled with a cheerful air.

Sijon country.

In the middle of the city.

It's been a mess.

Officials and forbidden soldiers, palace maids and eunuchs, all in a mess, rushed to flee.

The 300,000 troops of Xirong State were all wiped out, and the news that Xiang Yu had led his army to take Xingqing City directly had been transmitted back to the Xirong Palace.

The last vitality of the Xirong Kingdom was lost in this battle!

What did Xirong use to resist Xiang Yu?

Escape!

This is the only way to survive!

Therefore, after the news of the imminent arrival of Xiang Yu's army, not only the dignitaries and nobles in the entire Xingqing City, but even the ordinary people were panicked and began to flee.

The population of the entire city has gone to five or six out of ten in a short time!

The palace of Xirong Kingdom has also become very deserted.

"Niangniang, the envoy sent to the Tubo State has returned, and the lord of the Tubo State expressed his unwillingness to wade into this troubled water, and the conflict with the Great Song Dynasty was unwilling, and he refused to send reinforcements. ”

An old lady reported to Liang Xinyue, the princess of Xirong on the throne.

"I didn't expect this Tubo lord to be so timid, with an army of seven or eight hundred thousand, he didn't even dare to let a fart go. ”

Liang Xinyue's face sank, "What a waste!"

"Niangniang, now that there is chaos in the city, Xiang Yu's army is about to arrive, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

The old lady admonished Liang Xinyue.

"You're right. ”

Liang Xinyue shook her head, and then her eyes fell on the old woman, and a cold light suddenly flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Aunt Ming, are you willing to do something for this palace and save this palace's life. ”

"Niangniang commanded, the old body must do it for Niangniang with all his might. ”

The old lady arched her hand towards Liang Xinyue and said seriously.

"Very good, you deserve to be the closest person to this palace. ”

A very bright smile appeared on Liang Xinyue's pretty face.

She walked up to the old woman and plunged a dagger into her heart.

"Mother, you!"

The old grandmother's face showed a look of disbelief, obviously she didn't expect that Liang Xinyue would suddenly kill herself.

Then the body collapsed.

"Aunt Ming, if you want to save the life of this palace, I can only wronged you. ”

Liang Xinyue's beautiful eyes flashed with coldness, and she immediately began to take off her clothes.

She swapped her clothes with the old woman's.

After doing all this, Liang Xinyue set a fire in this Xirong palace.

She put on the old woman's clothes and hurried out of the palace.

Only the raging fires remained.

......

Soon after the fire broke out in the Xirong Palace, Xiang Yu led his army to Xingqing City.

The defenders barely put up any resistance and surrendered to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yubing entered the Xirong Palace without blood.

and let his soldiers extinguish the fire in the Xijon Palace.

"General Xiang, in the main hall of the Xirong Palace, a charred female corpse was found. ”

An adjutant general reported to Xiang Yu: "It can be identified from the broken clothes on his body, it should be the Xirong Imperial Princess." ”

With that, two soldiers came over carrying a charred corpse.

Xiang Yu came to the corpse, uncovered the white cloth, and made a brief observation.

Immediately, he frowned and shook his head, "This is not the bones of Princess Xirong, but the corpse of an old man. ”

He only glanced at the corpse's bones and knew the age of the bones.

This is Li Daitao's plan.

"Quickly send the order down, block the checkpoint, and send someone to hunt down this Xijon Imperial Princess!"

"In addition, send someone to summon back to Beijing!"

Xiang Yu's gaze swept over the entire palace of Xirong Kingdom, "Tell Your Majesty that the land of Xirong Kingdom is already owned by my Great Song Dynasty!"

"Yes!"

The lieutenant retreated in a hurry.

......

Great Song Dynasty, Jinling City.

On the Golden Luang Palace.

Xiang Yu's good news has been passed back.

The kingdom of Sijon was swallowed up.

There is no doubt that the treasury of Xirong was also occupied by Xiang Yu.

The hearts of civil and military officials are determined.

The destruction of the country of Xijon is regarded as a big stone in their hearts.

And what reassures them even more is that their fortune has finally come to an end.

"The secretary is still in the book. ”

Zhao Lin's gaze fell on one of the ministers.

"The minister is here. ”

The official department is still listed.

"The Xirong Kingdom has been pacified, and the order will be sent down to split the Xirong Kingdom into thirteen state capitals, and the officials will be appointed by the Ministry of Officials to take office one day!"

"Obey the order!"

The secretary of the ministry knocked on the leader's order.

"Tobe Shangshu!"

"The minister is here!"

Tobe Shangshu hurriedly walked out.

"I have mercy on the people of Xirong after the war, and the people of Xirong are exempted from paying taxes for one year!"

Zhao Lin looked at the head of the household department, "At the same time, the household department is responsible for checking the land and household registration of Xirong Kingdom, and counting all its land and household registration into the atlas of my Great Song Dynasty!"

"Command!"

The head of the household retreated.

The ministers in the court were all excited at this time.

The land of Xirong has been completely incorporated into their Great Song Dynasty!

There is only one Flame Empire left, and although it seems to be a behemoth, it is nothing to fear now!

In this way, it seems that domination of the world is not far away......

And Zhao Lin on the throne of the dragon chair was already thinking about a plan to dominate the world.

However, now that the treasury is empty, it is not yet possible to rush to the next step of the war.

By the beginning of spring in March, the household ministry will collect this year's tax revenue, and the treasury should be full.

This year's tax collection not only re-examines land and household registration, but also changes the tax rate.

A large number of hidden lands and people have been found and registered!

The tax rate will greatly increase the taxes paid by the rich!

Therefore, this year's tax revenue must be an astonishing amount!

In Zhao Lin's eyes, there was already a trace of expectation.

......

Empire of Fire, Upper Capital.

Palace.

The Fire Emperor Yu Wenlie was lying on the sickbed.

Since returning from the front, Yu Wenlie has been sick.

Obviously, the previous defeat dealt a big blow to him.

At this time, Empress Liu Mengyao walked in and bowed to Yu Wenlie on the sickbed: "Your Majesty, the latest news, Xingqing City, the capital of Xirong State, has been attacked by the Great Song Dynasty!"

"The kingdom of Xijon is destroyed!"

Liu Mengyao sighed lightly in her heart.

Naturally, she didn't want to see the destruction of the Xirong Kingdom.

However, for the destruction of the Xijon Kingdom, the Fire Empire is powerless, and there is nothing that can be helped.

The last defeat was too big a blow to the Fire Empire, and it didn't take a few years to recover at all.

When Yu Wenlie on the sickbed heard this, he couldn't help but tremble even his body.

First of all, Annanguo.

Now it's the kingdom of Sijon again.

At the beginning, they formed an alliance to attack the three major powers of the Great Song Dynasty, but now only the Fire Empire remains!

"Damn, I don't want to be the king of the dead country!"

Yu Wenlie roared while lying on the sickbed.

Dead lips and cold teeth.

Yu Wenlie had a strong feeling that the Agni Empire would become the third target of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, with the wolf ambition of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, at most, he will raise troops for the Northern Expedition and attack my Fire Empire. ”

At this time, Liu Mengyao said in a deep voice to Yu Wenlie: "So far, I can only ask the Central Plains Martial Arts for help." ”
