In Guangling County, Yang Yishan also led 100,000 soldiers across the border of Xiao State overnight, carrying Xiao Liming's seal, letter of surrender and other weapons, and did not even encounter any decent resistance.
When the soldiers heard that the Shang Kingdom was coming and Yang Yishan’s promise, they actually started cheering!
In the rear, Yan Zhengqing led a small number of elite troops and flew directly to Wufeng City to control the imperial capital of Xiao State, the former seat of Baofeng County. By dawn the next day, Xiao State had become part of the Shang Kingdom.
At this time, the Emperor of Cai was leading 300,000 elite troops and began to retreat - and Li Yulong later raided his hometown!
The Emperor of Cai had a fierce look in his eyes. Whenever he saw or heard the names of Li Yulong or Li Xian, he would grit his teeth. Things happened too fast and too intensely. The Emperor of Cai never dreamed of this outcome.
The so-called things going against one's wishes is probably what we are facing right now!
It would have been fine if Xiao Liming had surrendered to the Shang Kingdom without any moral integrity, but it turned out that Li Yulong had seen through his tricks a long time ago - no wonder Li Yulong was so quiet after the last war.
The Emperor of Cai looked around and found that Xiang Bowen was the only one beside him. He could only ask Xiang Bowen for his opinion.
He gave Bowen a good suggestion, "Capture all the merchants of the Shang Kingdom and take them as hostages. At the same time, nationalize the wealth, materials, and weapons of these merchants of the Shang Kingdom."
"Okay!" The Emperor of Cai immediately agreed and asked his chief guard Wang Zongbao to arrest the man.
Many merchants in the Shang Kingdom were well prepared, and their own cultivation and guards were not bad; but Wang Zongbao was the captain of the royal guards after all, and he led the royal guards, and the attack was a sudden attack, so most of the merchants were caught off guard and arrested.
But there were also some who escaped. For example, Wang Linyuan, who had been active in the land of Cai State and was almost a half-spy, ran away immediately. After running away, he urgently contacted Li Xian.
Needless to say, upon receiving this news, Li Xian was furious and his face turned pale. He slammed the table so hard that even the Zhao State's negotiating envoy was startled by Li Xian's action, and Ji Buxian almost jumped up.
My lord, why are you so angry
Li Xian suppressed his anger and told the story again. Then he said, "The kidnapping of Teacher Sun Ming has not been investigated yet, and the Cai State has done it again! This matter must be responded to strongly, otherwise everyone will learn to kidnap, and our plan to trade with the world will be seriously affected!"
Li Yuanming also had a fierce look in his eyes: "Wise King, I think we should kill one to warn the rest! Since the State of Cai dared to kidnap our people, we must kill all of them! Otherwise, it will not be enough to warn those who have evil intentions!"
As he spoke, Li Yuanming quickly glanced at Ji Buxian, the Minister of the Central Secretariat of the State of Zhao.
Ji Buxian frowned slightly, not knowing what Li Yuanming meant. Did he think that Zhao State had kidnapped Sun Ming? Or was this a demonstration against Zhao State
Xu Ren was also very tough this time, "Xian Wang, use Lei Zhenzi. Two consecutive kidnappings have already had a serious impact on the stability of the Shang Kingdom and have greatly undermined everyone's confidence. Therefore, we need to use the toughest means to make up for this loss!"
