I have to say that what Bazaar said makes sense, but this is exactly what he least wants to hear and see right now. What he wants is foolish loyalty rather than wisdom. What he wants is absolute loyalty to China. If the other party is still a wallflower,
, what is the difference from Yanqi before?
Upon hearing Zhao Yun's words, Ying Yangjun beside Baza directly drew out his steel knife and chopped off Baza's head with one blow.
"Zilong, aren't you going a little too far by doing this?"
Yan Liang came to Zhao Yun's side and looked at Baza's body, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
"General Yan Liang, I think General Zhao Yun did the right thing."
At this time, Zhou Yu from behind also rode over and saluted Yan Liang and Zhao Yun with clasped fists.
"How to say?"
Yan Liang glanced at Zhou Yu who was coming from behind, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a gleam. You must know that although the North Route Army was led by Zhao Yun, the other party was a staff officer sent by Yuan Shu. He was said to be a staff officer, but he was actually acting as a military advisor.
"General, Yanqi is also a big country in the Western Region. If it cannot guarantee the absolute loyalty of the other party, it will be a huge hidden danger for China.
So I think the Yanqi royal family needs to be cleaned, and we need to support a new King Yanqi, a King Yanqi who is absolutely loyal to China."
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, the Western Region was an important passage for his western expedition to Guishuang, and he had to ensure it was absolutely smooth. Otherwise, once he entered Guishuang, the consequences of problems here would be disastrous.
"Then simply let Cheshi Kingdom annex Yanqi. At least the situation in Cheshi Kingdom is quite stable now. Supporting Cheshi Kingdom can also ensure the security of the Western Region."
Yan Liang glanced at Zhou Yu, and since he thought Yan Qi could not be trusted, he supported the chariot driver and swallowed Yan Qi, finishing the matter once and for all.
"cannot."
After hearing Yan Liang's words, Zhou Yu shook his head.
"How to say?"
Yan Liang was even more confused now and didn't understand why he couldn't do this.
"The situation in the Western Regions does not allow for the emergence of too large a country. This is not suitable for China. Only by remaining divided in the Western Regions can they submit to China, with China as the main force.
If a big country emerges and they have different intentions, it will be a destabilizing factor for both China and the Western Regions."
Zhou Yu directly stated his views on the Western Regions. His thoughts were the same as Tian Feng's. The Western Regions could submit to China, but they could not submit to the Western Regions countries. This was the bottom line.
"Well, Zhou Yu is right. The Western Region is like this. It can only be divided for a long time. If it is really integrated in a short time, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for China."
Zhao Yun on the side glanced at Zhou Yu and had to say that the other party still had something. It seemed that His Majesty's sending him here was still useful.
"Nian Yanqi, what are you going to do?"
Yan Liang was a little confused when he heard both of them saying this, and he didn't know what to do next with Yan Qi.
"It's easy for Yanqi. Just find a random Yanqi person and support him to become the king of Yanqi. He has no foundation and can only rely on China. Even if there is another alien invasion, he will only be overthrown, so he will never betray.
.”
Regarding Yan Liang's problem, Zhou Yu had already thought of a countermeasure. He could find someone to support him as King Yanqi. How could the other party not be grateful to him and rely on the big ship of China?
"Let's do this. Attack with the whole army and head to Yanqi."
Zhao Yun glanced at Zhou Yu, and a light flashed in his eyes. He had to say that this man was very powerful, and his vision was very accurate. This is how people's hearts are.
Just like a beggar who suddenly gets five million, he will definitely stick to the person who gave him the money, because once this person leaves, his wealth will disappear with it. Who can bear this?
"promise."
The army continued to march westward on the long yellow sand to the Yanqi Kingdom. Unfortunately, King Yanqi was still waiting for news from Bazaar, but he did not expect that the other party had been beheaded by Zhao Yun.
As time went by, Zhao Yun's army finally reached the territory of Yanqi. The small foreign towns of Yanqi were unable to resist and surrendered directly. The army did not stop and fought directly outside the royal city of Yanqi.
"Open the city gate and welcome the Chinese army to enter the city."
When King Yanqi saw the army approaching, he had nothing to say and directly ordered the gates of the capital to be opened to welcome Zhao Yun's arrival.
"The young king of Yanqi led the civil and military forces of Yanqi to meet the generals of the Celestial Dynasty."
King Yanqi took the lead, and the civil and military officials around him also saluted the army in front of them.
"King Yanqi is tied up, right?"
Looking at Yanqi Wenwu in front of him, Zhao Yun had nothing to hesitate and directly ordered the soldiers to move forward and tie up all these people.
"General, what's going on?"
Faced with such a situation, King Yanqi and the civil and military officials under his command were all confused. They did not understand what was going on. Could it be that Bazaar had offended the other party? It was impossible. He was not a fool. How could he have offended the other party.
"It's okay, they're all cut down."
Zhao Yun didn't want to say anything to the other party and directly ordered the soldiers to take action.
Suddenly a flash of blood appeared, more than a dozen heads fell to the ground, and King Yanqi and all the civil and military men under his command were killed.
This unexpected incident instantly made everyone dumbfounded. What was going on? King Yanqi was just gone.
"Enter the city."
Zhao Yun had nothing to explain and directly ordered his soldiers to enter the city.
Yingyang's army marched directly on rumbling horse hooves and killed everyone in Yanqi City. Then they separated and attacked the palace and the residences of various civil and military ministers.
The steel sword was swung, and heads flew off one after another. Blood instantly spread all over the Yanqi King City. All the citizens of Yanqi King City were trembling under the Chinese cavalry. After all, even the king and ministers were beheaded, and they didn't know where to go.
"To appease the people of Yanqi."
Zhao Yun also knew that these Yanqi citizens must be extremely scared now, and he did not want to destroy the Yanqi country, so he directly ordered the soldiers to calm the people's emotions.
The cavalry tried to appease the people, but even so, they were still trembling. After all, facing the opponent's sword, they had no ability to resist. If the opponent really wanted to wield the butcher's knife, they would be doomed.
"General Zilong, do you have a candidate for King Yanqi?"
The situation in the city is like this now. Zhou Yu came to Zhao Yun and asked him if he had a suitable candidate.
"No, have you found someone?"
Zhao Yun glanced at Zhou Yu. Since he said this, he must have found a suitable candidate.
"How about I show this person to you?
Bring it in."
Zhou Yu also smiled slightly and directly ordered the people outside to be brought in.
Soon, a man in ragged clothes was brought directly into the big tent, and he knelt on the ground. He was so bowed that he didn't dare to move at all.
"This is the person you chose?"
Looking at the beggar, Zhao Yun couldn't help but frown. Although he said so, if you really find a beggar to come over, it's a bit too much.
"Um."
Zhou Yu nodded.
"Take the people down first."
Although Zhao Yun didn't know what Zhou Yu was thinking, he definitely had his thoughts.
"promise."
Two personal guards came in outside the door and took the beggar on the ground out directly.
"Tell me, what do you think?
You can't choose a beggar even if you are hungry."
Zhao Yun glanced at Zhou Yu and wondered what he was thinking.
"General Zilong, it is said that the greater the contrast, the greater the psychological gap. This is why I chose this beggar. Imagine a person who went from the bottom of society directly to the top of Yanqi Country.
At that time, it will be no exaggeration for him to do anything to preserve his position, so as to ensure that the Yanqi Kingdom will not resist and follow us wholeheartedly."
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and directly expressed his thoughts.
"But if this person is a loser, it won't work if Yanqi is in such a mess."
Yan Liang on the other side frowned slightly. Although he said so, if he really chooses a fool to be the king of Yanqi, he will still be blind when the time comes and he will not be able to secure the throne.
"This is easier. Just send someone beside him to handle state affairs for him. To put it bluntly, Yanqi State is just a small country with tens of thousands of people. It is only a county in China. There will be no problems."
Zhou Yu shook his head slightly. Of course he dared to choose a beggar to be the king of Yanqi. Naturally, the situation that Yan Liang said would not happen. It was just a small Yanqi country. Those were trivial matters and there would be no big problems.
"Now that you have thought about it, let the beggar be a beggar, but you have to prepare some outfit for him. This is still a bit disrespectful."
Since Zhou Yu said this, Zhao Yun also felt that it was feasible. It didn't matter if he was just a beggar. With the support of China, even if a dog became the king of Yanqi, Yanqi would not have any problems.
"I will arrange it."
Zhou Yu nodded and indicated that he would make arrangements.
"Okay, tomorrow at noon, gather the residents of the city together and tell him that he actually has Chinese blood. He will definitely return after being given the name. He can be named the King of Yanqi and will command everything in Yanqi. In addition, Yuan Yao can be named the Prime Minister of Yanqi and a thousand cavalry will be placed here.
, responsible for assisting King Yanqi Bigui in handling domestic affairs."
"promise."
Everyone clasped their fists together and saluted, and then left the tent.
The next day, all the residents of the city were gathered outside the palace. The beggar Bigui, wearing the royal robes plundered from Yanqi Palace, was pushed to the front of everyone to accept the canonization of the Chinese Empire.
Faced with this situation, all Yanqi citizens were stunned, but the situation was stronger than the others. Several military leaders in the country immediately declared their allegiance to Bigui.
At the same time, 5,000 soldiers and horses and 10,000 camels were organized to accompany Zhao Yun on his western expedition. All the gold and silver looted from the palaces of King Yanqi and the ministers of civil and military affairs were shipped to China to be used as military supplies.
Yanqi, which was considered a big country in the Western Regions, was captured by China. A beggar became the latest leader of Yanqi. It has to be said that it was fate.
