Xiao Li answered with tears in his eyes, full of reluctance.
After all, Zhao Zhen had fought with him, and the two were not only superiors and subordinates, but also close comrades-in-arms.
However, now that he was asked to execute Zhao Zhen, he naturally felt very uncomfortable.
However, Zhao Zhen already wanted to die. He understood his crime and did not ask for mercy.
After Zhao Zhen's death, only two of the four generals of the Zhenxi Army will be left.
Bai Yutian left the prison and returned to the palace.
The army is resting in Hongcheng. After finishing the matter, they will set off back to Tailin City.
After these few battles, Bai Yutian has obviously grown a lot. His temperament is calm, his aura is concise, and his style is comparable to that of the most wise and powerful emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Even compared to Emperor Taizu and Emperor Zhou Sheng, he was not inferior.
After Jie Yukang was brought back to Hongcheng, he was temporarily placed in Bai Yutian's palace. He was entertained with good food and wine, but was not tortured.
Whether it was Liangzhou last time or Xishengzhou this time, Bai Yutian always faced the power of one of the tribes in Shanu Kingdom.
Now that Dazhou is in a quagmire and enemies are scattered all around, Bai Yutian doesn't want to start an all-out war with the Shanu Kingdom.
Otherwise, even the previous 200,000 Zhenxi Army would not be able to defend it at all.
Jie Yukang was locked in a courtyard. He was not restrained, but the area around the courtyard was strictly guarded. All the dragon guards were guarding here, and there were many Zhou soldiers guarding him outside.
Jie Yukang's strength is not weak, and he can be considered as a half-step master in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If it had been night, even Dian Wei would not have been able to capture Jie Yukang so easily.
"Humph!" Jie Yukang snorted dissatisfiedly when he saw Bai Yutian come in.
He had always despised the weak and incompetent emperor of Zhou.
"Lord of the Shanu Kingdom, I have long admired you."
Bai Yutian smiled softly, with a calm expression on his face, as if everything was under control.
"This time, our alliance leader is in trouble, but Shanu Kingdom will not bypass you." Jie Yukang slammed the table, his momentum suddenly increased.
Dian Wei, who was standing behind Bai Yutian, immediately became alert. At this time, Jie Yukang's acupuncture points were blocked and he could not use his full strength. Therefore, Dian Wei was confident that he could stop Jie Yukang before he made a move.
"The Shanu Kingdom has been defeated by me twice in a row. Even you are a prisoner. What else can the Shanu Kingdom do?" Bai Yutian pretended to be relaxed and said, making Jie Yukang suddenly excited.
However, he was excited, and Jie Yukang also knew that this was Zhou Dynasty's territory, and he was not allowed to run wild.
"Our country, Shanu, is composed of four major tribes and has millions of soldiers. However, you have internal and external troubles in the Zhou Dynasty. If the army of Shanu country presses on the border, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
Jie Yukang took advantage of Bai Yutian's weakness and threatened him.
The Great Zhou now has too many enemies. In addition to the original five kingdoms, there are also the Dashun Kingdom and the Dachuan Kingdom, which occupy a lot of territory in the Great Zhou Dynasty and pose a great threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Moreover, the interests of the five surrounding countries are basically the same, which is to carve up the Great Zhou Dynasty and make the Great Zhou Dynasty completely history.
"If I were afraid that you would join forces to attack, I would not come to the Western Wilderness this time. If the Shanu Kingdom dares to invade the border with a large army again, there will probably be a fight."
Bai Yutian's tone was always very relaxed, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking.
A war is like a chess game in Bai Yutian's eyes, and the outcome is decided by Bai Yutian.
Jie Yukang was shocked. He found that he seemed to be unable to see through the Emperor of Zhou in front of him.
If we say that these two defeats of Shanu were planned by him, then this person is really terrible.
Jie Yukang still wanted to speak, but was preempted by Bai Yutian, "Dashun and Dachuan declared their founding in our great Zhou Dynasty, and made good relations with the Three Northern Kingdoms and Nanyuan Kingdom respectively. Aren't you afraid of the situation of your Shanu Kingdom?"
Bai Yutian's words made Jie Yukang's pupils shrink sharply.
Of course they knew about the establishment of the Dashun and Dachuan Kingdoms, but the Shanu Kingdom was too far away from these two countries, with the entire Great Zhou Kingdom sandwiched between them.
Even if they want to unite, it will be very difficult.
"Although they have not made peace for the time being, they are still in close contact. Sooner or later they will form a stronger alliance. After the Great Zhou is divided, your country, Shanu, will be their first target."
Due to the rumors spread by Yuncheng, the marriage between Nanyuan Kingdom and Daechuan Kingdom was postponed, while the marriage between Dashun Kingdom and Jinyeol Kingdom failed to be implemented due to various reasons.
However, the countries still move around frequently, and there are dedicated people responsible for a closer alliance between the countries.
Bai Yutian's words made Jie Yukang sweat like rain. Only then did he realize that he had overlooked some things.
Although they have formed an alliance with the three northern countries and the Nanyuan Kingdom very early, they are not the same country after all, and there will inevitably be some conflicts between them.
Moreover, the Three Northern Kingdoms and the Nanyuan Kingdom have been slow to send troops. After these two wars, the Sanu Kingdom also lost one-third of its military strength, and its strength was further weakened.
Even if the Great Zhou Dynasty could be divided up at this time, not to mention that he is now a prisoner, with the current strength of the Shanu Kingdom, I am afraid that he will not be able to get more benefits.
Moreover, the Dashun Kingdom has good relations with the three northern countries, and the Dachuan Kingdom has good relations with the Nanyuan Kingdom. He is the only one left with the Shanu Kingdom, which will definitely be targeted by several countries.
"What does the Emperor of Zhou mean?" Jie Yukang sighed and said.
It has to be said that Bai Yutian's few words immediately made Jie Yukang start to worry, and his tone became a little more friendly.
"You and I will work together to eliminate other countries, and then we will coexist peacefully and jointly govern this continent." Bai Yutian stood up and looked at Jie Yukang with a burning gaze.
"Hahaha, the combined national strength of the three northern kingdoms is not weaker than our Shanu Kingdom. Although the Nanyuan Kingdom is the weakest, it should not be underestimated, not to mention the Dashun Kingdom and the Dachuan Kingdom. What confidence does the emperor have that he can conquer them all?
Defeated." Jie Yukang said.
Even if he united with the Great Zhou Kingdom, he still didn't think he would be a match for these people.
Bai Yutian smiled softly and ordered Dian Wei to take Jie Yukang to the city wall.
The previous artillery was still placed on the city wall. In order to march quickly, they did not bring the artillery.
Bai Yutian pointed to a plain and ordered the soldiers to control the artillery and fire.
Instantly, a loud rumbling sound appeared, and a large cloud of smoke appeared where Bai Yutian was pointing.
After the smoke dissipated, a large area of scorched land appeared on the ground, and a large pit was even sunk in the ground.
If this kind of power were to hit a person, I'm afraid no one would be able to withstand it.
Moreover, this is a large-scale destruction, which can directly kill enemy troops within the range.
Jie Yukang was shocked and his heart beat faster. Only then did he remember that he had indeed heard from his subordinates that Dazhou had a new weapon that was very powerful in defending the city, making it impossible for them to attack the city.
