Even though the Tang Empire could easily sweep across the countries, it still faced many difficulties.

For example now.

All the resistance abilities of the countries have been crushed by the Tang Dynasty, which means that the national gates of various countries have been blown away by the Tang Empire. As long as the Tang Empire is willing, they can fully grasp these countries.

But because there was not enough manpower to suppress it, they were in a pause.

If the Tang Empire forcibly takes over the countries, it may make the country empty and its control over the local area will be greatly weakened.

This will make some losses less than that.

In fact, Li Si had long considered this issue.

Whether it was Tubo or Turkic, it was only after Li Siqian thought about it.

But the alliance of nations

Originally, Li Si was preparing to develop slowly for a while, and only after he accumulated enough strength could he use troops to the surrounding countries.

By then, the Tang Empire would have enough foundation to swallow the countries.

But the countries have to join forces and take the initiative to deliver them to their doors.

Others have sent their flesh to the mouths of the Tang Empire. Wouldn't it be stupid if Li Si still considered this and that?

Moreover, with Li Si's personality, it is impossible for him to let the other party fight without fighting back.

Since the alliance of all countries dared to come, Li Si let him go without a return.

As for whether it can be swallowed

Let’s fight first!

“It’s a problem.”

Li Si frowned.

However, this matter is not urgent.

Now the Tang Empire needs at least one month to deal with the prisoners of war.

There is still a lot of time left for Li Si.

Let’s talk about it.

Now the countries have completely lost the ability to resist the Tang Empire.

The Tang Empire can pick these rich fruits whenever it wants.

No need to rush for a moment.

Even in the end, Li Si was not completely out of the way to deal with it.

At worst, we can start recruiting soldiers from the people.

Just a mere six million army.

However, this method can treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

In the future, the Tang Empire will stave off the West and conquer the world. We can't we still recruit soldiers from China, right?

Even conquering the heavens and all realms requires enough manpower!

The next day.

The morning dynasty of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Si sat upright on the dragon throne and discussed state affairs with the ministers in the court.

As the frontline war was set, a lot of things naturally emerged, which were light and urgent, but all needed to issue orders from the court.

Just then.

The eunuch nearby walked to Li Si and said a few words softly.

When Li Si heard this, his expression remained unchanged, but he just nodded casually.

When His Highness and all the officials saw this, they all guessed in their hearts, not knowing what His Majesty had heard.

However, what makes the minister feel at ease is that Your Majesty's expression is normal, and it should not be a big deal.

At least, Your Majesty will not start a massacre.

After the eunuch who was close to him withdrew from the Tai Chi Hall, Li Si's eyes turned and fell on the civil and military officials in the court.

"The kings of all countries have arrived in Chang'an. I have ordered them to be taken up. My dear friends can take a look later."

Although Li Si's tone was light, his ministers were shocked.

The king of all countries?

Although the ministers of the Ministry of War read out the war report, the ministers had long thought that today would be there.

But when this day really came, some ministers still felt incredible.

The monarchs of more than 30 surrounding countries, including the great powers such as Tianzhu, were all captured alive by the Tang Empire?

soon.

The kings of various countries were escorted in.

These monarchs were obviously hit hard along the way, and at this moment, they all looked sad and frightened.

From a king of a country to a prisoner, the gap between this is more than just a cloud of mud?

If you commit suicide as neatly as Da Shiwan, it would be fine.

But these monarchs want to survive.

"We have seen the Emperor of Tang"

The monarchs knelt tremblingly on the Tai Chi Hall.

They know that their life and death depend on the thoughts of the man on the dragon throne.

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I am the lord of the Heavenly Kingdom. I am willing to surrender to the whole country, and the whole country will surrender!"

The Lord of Heaven said carefully.

From beginning to end, Tianzhu did not dare to raise his head and look directly at the Emperor of Tang.

As soon as the Lord of Heaven finished speaking, the rest of the kings spoke one after another.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to surrender, just ask Your Majesty to spare our lives."

"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I am willing to leave my parents and children here as hostages, and ask for a high position."

For a moment, the Tai Chi Hall was filled with the voices of kings of various countries begging for mercy.

Li Si sat upright on the dragon throne, shook his head slightly, and slowly raised his right hand.

The next moment.

The kings of various countries felt only a wave of pressure.

Their throats seemed to be strangled by pliers, their faces flushed and they couldn't say a word.

Suddenly.

The Tai Chi Palace suddenly became much quieter.

Li Si put down his right hand, landed on the armrest of the dragon chair, looked at the ministers in the court, and casually said, "What do you think do you do with these people?"

The emperor asked, but the ministers dared not not to answer.

The officials looked at each other, and a moment later one of the ministers stood out and bowed: "Your Majesty, it is unforgivable for all countries to raise troops to invade our Tang Dynasty, but our Tang Empire is a country of heaven and etiquette. Why not forgive their lives and keep these kings in Chang'an City to deter external forces?"

The words of this minister made some ministers in the court nod slightly.

really.

Since the countries have been defeated, these kings must be killed.

It is better to keep them. One is to reflect the kindness of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the other is to act as a deterrent.

The best of both worlds.

The kings of various countries kneeling in the Tai Chi Hall breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Even so, they will be imprisoned in Chang'an City for the rest of their lives.

But he survived in the end.

As long as you survive, there will be hope!

The reason why these kings did not commit suicide on the spot like the King of Great Food was that they did not want to die.

Even if you survive, you must survive.

"Give them a life?"

Li Si sat upright on the dragon throne with an elusive expression on his face.

"Do you guys have any other suggestions?" Li Si looked around and said lightly.
