Chapter 536: Shen Diao Strategy

"This commoner thanks Your Majesty!"

Huang Rong, seeing Liu Bian suddenly speak to her, was somewhat flattered.

Hong Qi and the other two had already been checked by Liu Bian with the Probe Eye; it could only be said that the three were worthy of being among the Sons of Fortune of the Shen Diao world.

All three possessed Immortal Bodies, and their talents were also of the Heavenly Grade Supreme level.

Subsequently, Liu Bian cast his gaze toward Wen Tianxiang and the group.

Among these people, only the constitutions of Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie, and Lu Xiufu had reached the Divine Body level.

As for the others, they were all ordinary constitutions, and no special constitutions appeared.

After surveying the group, Liu Bian said to them:

"You three—Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie, you two will follow Wenruo and Wenhe from now on; your abilities lie in government affairs."

"As for Zhang Shijie, you will follow Zilong first."

Among these three, Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu's abilities were in government affairs.

While Zhang Shijie was biased toward being a martial general.

Upon hearing this, the three immediately thanked Liu Bian.

"We thank Your Majesty!"

And at this time, Liu Bian spoke to the crowd about the disposal of Zhao Yun and the others.

"Now, bring Zhao Yun and the others here."

Following Liu Bian's voice, the Divine Martial Army soldiers immediately brought Zhao Yun, Jia Sidao, and the group in.

"We pay respects to Your Majesty!"

After Zhao Yun and the others entered, they knelt directly before Liu Bian.

"Hehe!"

Seeing this scene, everyone laughed disdainfully.

These people truly had no backbone at all.

If it were said that Jia Sidao and the others knelt so readily, everyone could still understand.

However, for you, Zhao Yun, as an Emperor of a country, to kneel so readily, this was too...

After all, as a monarch of a destroyed country, his ending was basically already destined.

"Hehe, Song Emperor Zhao Yun, you truly have made Us look at you with new eyes!"

Looking at Zhao Yun kneeling on the ground, Liu Bian said with a trace of sarcasm.

"Your Majesty, I will give this world to you; I beg you to spare my life!"

Hearing Liu Bian's mockery, Zhao Yun immediately kowtowed frantically to Liu Bian to beg for mercy.

"Hehe, as a monarch of a country, you have no corresponding responsibility."

"You employed treacherous officials, ignoring the life and death of the common people under your rule."

"Facing foreign wolves, you only knew how to yield and beg for peace, causing our Han people to become ghosts under the blades of foreign tribes."

"You actually have the nerve to ask Us to spare you now!"

"Based on what the Song Kingdom did to the Han people, even if you died a thousand times, it would not be enough to atone for your sins."

Liu Bian looked at Zhao Yun kneeling on the ground and scolded him coldly with icy eyes.

"For the sake of you being a monarch of a country, I grant you a decent way to die."

"A cup of strong wine or three feet of white silk—choose one yourself!"

Zhao Yun, upon hearing this, was instantly filled with a deathly gray color.

His whole person also collapsed to the ground instantly.

And the others in the Grand Hall also looked at him with faces full of disdain.

"As for you, Jia Sidao, Ding Daquan, and the rest of you, I presume you are all clear on what you have done over these years; I do not wish to say any more."

"Jia Xu, handle these people as you see fit!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu immediately understood and responded to Liu Bian:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this humble minister understands!"

Seeing this scene, Jia Sidao and the others were ashen-faced.

Many of them even begged for mercy, still harboring a glimmer of hope:

"Your Majesty, spare our lives!"

"I am innocent, I beg Your Majesty to spare my life!"

Facing the pleas of the crowd, Liu Bian merely waved his hand at the soldiers.

Immediately, the soldiers ignored the pleas of the crowd and dragged them out of the Grand Hall.

"Very well, now it is time for us to discuss the matter of sending out troops."

"Fengxiao, I will leave it to you to explain the situation of the other countries in this realm to all the ministers."

Seeing Jia Sidao and the others being led away, Liu Bian said to the crowd.

This time, he had brought an army of four hundred thousand across realms from the Great Han Main Realm.

Naturally, he had to quickly pacify the Shen Diao World.

"This humble minister obeys the edict!"

Subsequently, Guo Jia slowly introduced the situation of the Shen Diao World to Liu Bian and the others.

"Your Majesty, the continent of the Shen Diao World is not much different from our Great Han Main Realm."

"To the southeast of our Great Han, there is a small country named Dali."

"To the north of the Great Han, it borders two countries: Western Xia and the Jin Kingdom."

"However, these two countries are currently on the verge of being destroyed by the iron cavalry of the Mongol Kingdom in the north, so they are not worth fearing for our Great Han."

"Our primary enemy is the Mongol Kingdom on the grasslands."

"The Mongol Kingdom in this world is the number one power here."

"Moreover, this humble minister suspects that the Mongol Kingdom already knows that our Great Han has destroyed the Song Kingdom."

"The most formidable aspect of this Mongol Kingdom is their cavalry."

"However, these Mongol cavalrymen are still not enough to be considered a threat to the six major legions of our Great Han Empire."

Speaking to this point, Guo Jia smiled confidently.

No matter how formidable the Mongol cavalry is, they are an army formed by ordinary people.

And the six major legions of the Great Han Empire are all armies composed of Postnatal warriors.

The combat power of the two sides is simply not on the same level.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister's suggestion is to divide the six major legions into three routes."

"The first route departs from Lin'an Prefecture heading north, attacking along the direction of the Jin Kingdom."

"The second route departs from Xingzhou, attacking Western Xia and Mongolia."

"The third route will attack Liaoxi and the Western Regions."

"As for the remaining Tubo and Dali, we can just wait until our Great Han has destroyed Mongolia, then send a few of our Imperial Tributes to handle them."

As Guo Jia began to speak, soldiers immediately opened a map that had been prepared long ago.

And as Guo Jia introduced the plan, everyone listened attentively while looking at the map.

After Guo Jia finished speaking, everyone began to ponder.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister feels that Fengxiao's words are feasible."

"Since Mongolia relies primarily on cavalry, they are actually unlikely to ambush us."

"As for the Jin Kingdom and Western Xia, they still have to guard against the Mongols in the north, so they cannot spare many troops; we can take advantage of this to quickly conquer them."

"Our armies are all equipped with Spirit Stone Cannons, so attacking cities will actually be much easier for us."

"As for Dali, it is merely gasping its last breath and is not worth worrying about."

"And for Tubo, due to the terrain, it is not conducive to large-scale military conquest, so it is most appropriate for the few Imperial Tributes from the Hall of Worship to take action!"

After pondering for a while, Jia Xu said solemnly to Liu Bian.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister agrees with the strategies of these two lords."

Just as Jia Xu finished speaking, Xun Yu also said to Liu Bian.

After hearing the words of the three, Liu Bian nodded slightly.

He said to the crowd in a majestic voice:

"Good, since you all agree, then we shall proceed as Fengxiao suggested."

"Adding the one hundred thousand troops of the Xiangyang Army, it makes exactly six hundred thousand troops."

"Divided into three routes, each route will have exactly two hundred thousand men."

"As for the specific division, you can decide that among yourselves; I only want the results."
