All Chapters of Vanquish Them All: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

Li Ye issued six orders in a row commanding that Li Keyong comes to Qing Prefecture and make a progress report. Li Keyong however had not moved. He had been evading by various excuses such as ill-health and busy military affairs. On the same day, Li Ye was furious and publicly denounced Li Keyong for disregarding the imperial court. He was in possession of an army and defied orders from the central government. He was suspected of starting a rebellion. Li Ye decided to dispatch troops, at the same time, Li Ye resented to Li Yan. He accused Li Keyong of all kinds of crimes in the past, including the old score of him following Li Guochang and the Zhen Wu Army messing up the North. Everyone in the imperial court was angry. At the great meeting, Wang Duo angrily rebuked that Li Keyong will repeat his Guochang's rebellion ways. Those words led to the indignation of the officials, and they repeatedly offered advice to Li Yan to start an expedition. Li Yan waved

Because of the people's support of the five prefectures in Pinglu, Li Ye's cultivation was promoted from Level 7 of Qi-refining to the Yin Spiritual Master. Although the fame he got in the battle against Huang Chao also played a role in it, the people's support of the five prefectures obviously weighed a lot. There were more than 300 prefectures in the Tang Empire, so if he could get all people's support, no one would know what degree Li Ye's cultivation would reach. Early in the morning, on the east bank of the Yellow River, Li Ye stood toward the west, looking at Weibo. Weibo had been a powerful vassal state since the An-Shi Disturbances. The Weibo commissioner was the general who surrendered to the imperial court in the An-Shi Disturbances, and he was always arrogant. Even during Xuanzong's revival period, the imperial court didn't have the power to appoint and remove the Weibo commissioner. After the previous commissioner died, his son or the one, who

As far as Cao Xijin could see, the Wolf-tooth Troop's Formation was still neat and their momentum hadn't lost a beat. In actual fact. there weren't much strength left of the Militarism Formation, and they could no longer actuate the power of the "energy wave". Their aggressivity would also decline, but even so, it was still fundamentally different from ordinary Military Formations. Looking back at his own Military Formation, it was scattered and chaotic, and the blanks were not filled in time. The soldiers were all scared and panicking without any fighting spirit. Cao Xijin was very clear that he had already lost, just not completely annihilated yet. But if he continued to fight, even if some of them survive, it would still be like asking for death. "Withdraw! Back to Bozhou!" Cao Xijin roared in a low voice and led the remnant troops to escape the river bank. He was full of confidence when he came, and he thought that Weibo Army was the bes

When Cao Zhongming looked up and screamed in pain, Cao Xijin could no longer maintain his composure. He only had time to bow his upper body and growled, "I'm an unworthy son!" Then his body buckled and crumpled on the ground. All was silent. Cao Zhongming held Cao Xijin in his arms and watched him die. He could do nothing. His face was gradually distorted and his features were huddled together. The Spiritual Qi in his body was agitated. He could hardly control the power of his cultivation, which was oppressing the people around him. Everyone around him fell to the ground from the pressure. "Military Commander! Li Ye has gone too far. We will follow Military Commander and fight till our last gasp of breath!" A general added. "Li Ye has gone completely mad. He has no humanity left. Military Commander, we should join forces with the Longxi Prince!" An advisor suggested. Cao Zhongming just barely kept his emotions in check and aske

The capital of Zhaoyi was Luzhou. The news that the entire Weibo was occupied by the Pinglu Army, reached them long ago. These days, the Zhaoyi commissioner, Kang Chengqian, who had been paying close attention to the battle situation at Weibo, was in constant discussion for the solution to this matter, with his trusted advisors and generals. Unlike Cao Zhongming, the general who rose from an army, Kang Chengqian had a scholar's background, so he was less domineering and more like a middle-aged Confucian scholar. He looked at the advisors in the hall with a sad expression on his face, and said worriedly, "Prince An has assembled a large army in Weizhou, and he will soon arrive at Zhaoyi. The messenger of Prince of Longxi has arrived at the mansion. What should Zhaoyi do? Under these circumstances, feel free to tell me what you think." This issue had been discussed many times, at different times, and all the advisers held different views. In t
