Chapter 675: Zhao Yun's Fury

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Yang Shouyi hurriedly scratched his head at Zhao Yun and the others, saying somewhat awkwardly:

"General Zhao speaks most rightly; it was my failure to consider thoroughly. Generals, please—allow me to enter the city first, and we shall speak further!"

Having said this, he made an inviting gesture to Zhao Yun and the others.

After the White Tiger Army entered the city, the common folk of Jinling City, seeing the awe-inspiring Soldiers of the White Tiger Legion, were all exceedingly curious.

They did not know what kind of people these soldiers wearing ancient Armor actually were.

After settling the White Tiger Legion, Zhao Yun and the others received Yang Shouyi and his men in the Military Camp.

"General Yang, the appearance of myself and the others—you must already know about it. Let me be frank: my Han Empire is not a nation of your world."

"Therefore, I must ask General Yang to tell me about the situation of this Realm."

"Why has the land of Huaxia been invaded by these despicable Foreign Tribes?"

Zhao Yun looked at Yang Shouyi before him and questioned him with a solemn expression.

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Yang Shouyi hurriedly gave Zhao Yun and the others a detailed account of the reasons for Huaxia's decline.

After hearing Yang Shouyi's account, Zhao Yun and the others were all seething with anger.

They had not expected that the Huaxia of this world would have actually been ruled by Foreign Tribes, and brought to such a sorry state.

According to Yang Shouyi, at present nearly half the nations in this world could defeat Huaxia.

This instantly roused the fury of Zhao Yun and the others.

When had the great Huaxia ever been so bullied by Foreign Tribes? They had not expected the Huaxia of this world to be humiliated by Foreign Tribes to such an extent!

"These Foreign Tribes truly deserve death. It seems my Han was far too merciful in dealing with them!"

After hearing Yang Shouyi's words, Wei Yan at the side spoke with an angry expression.

And upon hearing Wei Yan's words, Yang Shouyi likewise said with an angry face:

"Indeed, these Foreign Tribes have never abandoned their intent to destroy our Huaxia. Even when they submit to our Huaxia, it is only on the surface."

"Since ancient times, whenever these Foreign Tribes saw our Huaxia in a period of strength, they all wept and begged to submit."

"Moreover, whenever they were defeated in battle against our Huaxia, they would request to become vassal states of our Huaxia."

"And those emperors, for the sake of their own reputations, would bestow upon those submitting barbarian Foreign Tribes vast amounts of money, grain, gold, and silver, to display the magnanimity befitting the Celestial Empire!"

"Yet the tribute those Foreign Tribes offered did not even amount to one or two tenths of what was bestowed upon them."

"And if they ever saw a day when our Huaxia weakened, the very first to leap out and deal with our Huaxia would be those same people."

"Therefore, over these years, whenever our Huaxia defeated those invading Foreign Tribes, they would choose to submit to our Huaxia."

"This way they preserved their own nations and could also obtain the Imperial Grace of the Huaxia emperor—a move that killed many birds with one stone."

"And with these Imperial Grace, they could secretly develop their strength, waiting for the day Huaxia weakened to plot against Huaxia."

Hearing Yang Shouyi's words, Zhao Yun and the others all fell somewhat silent.

They had not expected that the emperors of this world's Huaxia would be so weak and womanishly merciful.

After defeating the enemy, so long as the enemy chose to surrender, they would take them in as vassal states and even bestow money and grain upon these vassal states, to display the magnanimity of the Celestial Empire.

Was such conduct not simply using one's own nation's money and grain to nourish the enemy!

One must understand that in their Han Empire, these Foreign Tribes had no talk of becoming vassal states—either they submitted to the Han and became Slaves of the Han Empire,

or they died. There was absolutely no third choice.

"General Yang, please rest assured. Now that my Han Empire has descended upon this Realm, the people of our Huaxia shall never again suffer the oppression of Foreign Tribes!"

"Although we were not born in the same world, within the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, our Yan Huang lineage has always been one and the same."

"Therefore, for the sake of all being Yan Huang Descendants, so long as you join my Han Empire, you shall be First-Class Citizens of my Han Empire."

"So long as one is a citizen of my Han Empire, one shall enjoy the protection of my Han Empire."

"Those who dare to offend the Great Han's Heavenly Might shall be punished, no matter how far away!"

Zhao Yun looked at Yang Shouyi and spoke with a solemn expression.

And upon hearing Zhao Yun's words, Yang Shouyi was likewise overcome with emotion, and immediately cupped his fists toward Zhao Yun and the others, saying:

"General Zhao Yun, I, Yang Shouyi, am willing to lead my brothers under my command to join the Han Empire!"

Hearing that Yang Shouyi was willing to join the Han Empire, Zhao Yun and the others also revealed a trace of a happy smile.

"Hahaha, General Yang, please rest assured. Trust me—you shall not regret the decision you have made today!"

"Since General Yang has already joined my Han Empire, I may now tell you some matters concerning my Han Empire."

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Yang Shouyi looked at Zhao Yun with great curiosity, and grew somewhat expectant of what Zhao Yun would say next.

"My Han Empire is a Lower Grade Imperial Dynasty. The Main World is a High Martial Low Grade World, primarily focused on the Cultivation of the Martial Dao. The Han Empire was founded upon martial strength…"

It took nearly two hours for Zhao Yun to finish introducing the situation of the Han Empire to Yang Shouyi.

"I never expected the Han Empire to be so powerful, and to even possess the Martial Dao!"

"General Zhao, I wonder—after I have joined the Han Empire, may I study the Martial Dao?"

Yang Shouyi, having heard Zhao Yun's introduction, was likewise shaken by the might of the Han Empire.

Immediately, he recalled the Martial Dao Zhao Yun had mentioned, and could not help but ask Zhao Yun somewhat nervously.

One must understand that earlier, outside Jinling City, the Soldiers of the White Tiger Legion, facing the well-equipped Wa army, had relied entirely on their own Martial Dao strength to completely annihilate the formidable Two Hundred Thousand Wa army.

The Wa army's guns and cannons had not even broken through the protective True Qi of the White Tiger Legion's Soldiers—a sight that had filled him with longing at the time.

And Zhao Yun and the others, upon hearing Yang Shouyi's words, could not help but smile. It seemed that no one could resist the temptation of being able to Cultivate the Martial Dao!

Immediately, he nodded at Yang Shouyi and said affirmatively:

"Any citizen of my Han Empire of Second-Class or above may Cultivate Martial Dao Cultivation Methods."

"And those who join my Han Imperial Court may also Cultivate the Martial Dao Cultivation Methods exclusively reserved for the civil and military officials of the Han Empire—these are far more powerful Cultivation Methods than those of the common folk."

"Since General Yang has already agreed to join my Han Empire, naturally you may Cultivate Martial Dao Cultivation Methods."

Hearing Zhao Yun's affirmative answer, Yang Shouyi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Zhao Yun:

"Many thanks, General Zhao!"

Seeing this, Zhao Yun nodded, and immediately transmitted the Han Empire's exclusive martial general cultivation method, the *Heaven and Earth Creation Martial Canon*, to Yang Shouyi.
