All Chapters of Vanquish Them All: Chapter 321 - Chapter 330

"Originally, I wanted to ask whether you wanted to live or die, but now, I don't think I need to ask anymore. Then, I think all of you should know what you should do next." All the people present were the famous big shots in Qinzhou, and none of them were stupid, so they certainly understood what Li Ye meant. In the final analysis, he wanted nothing more than money and food. It was a matter of course because this was what it was called the military disaster. Wherever the troops went, vegetation and livestock would die, and ordinary people would suffer great losses. When the so-called Imperial Army went out to battle, they needed to raise food most of the time. Since the troops couldn't produce food, they naturally had to ask ordinary people for it. What Li Ye meant was that they had to give money and food to the troops. Moreover, Qinzhou had to constantly offer food to support the logistics from now on when the Imperial Army sent troops to t

Li Cunxiao was a little stunned and soon understood Li Keyong's meaning. He immediately knelt and said, "I'm willing to sacrifice my life for you and Hedong and fight against Li Ye until I die!" When Qinzhou was defeated and Hedong was in despair, Li Cunxiao's promotion to the senior general of Militarism had a great effect on the morale of the armed forces and the stability of people's hearts. In order to reduce the impact of the defeat of Qinzhou as far as possible, Li Keyong would definitely publicize this matter widely and let all the people know that there was a senior general of Militarism under his command so as to stabilize the overall situation of Hedong and to prepare for the subsequent battle. Li Cunxiao's cultivation was already higher than Li Keyong's. It was a taboo that a minister was stronger than the master. So Li Cunxiao immediately declared his loyalty so that Li Keyong would not suspect him. "Good! I always

At the Commissioner's Government Office, Li Keyong looked at the letter in his hand silently for a long time, and his expression was capricious. The civil officials, advisers and trusted subordinates who were sitting on both sides looked at Li Keyong on the main seat nervously, they were afraid to breathe. Li Cunxiao, for whom Li Keyong had great expectations, had seventy thousand troops and assumed at Yizhou City. He had a private correspondence with Li Ye even when the war was so intense! In Li Ye's letter, a large part of the content was persuading him to surrender. His words were extremely cordial and enthusiastic, full of admiration for Li Cunxiao, and the rich conditions of commitment made the onlookers envious! Not only that, Li Siben, whom Li Keyong arranged in Yizhou to help Li Cunxiao, was actually monitoring him and reporting his actions back to Li Keyong. The Imperial Army had been attacking the city for many days, but they didn'

Changning Community was an insignificant region in Taiyuan city. It was neither rich nor poor, and was a common area, but there were people from all walks of life. Dongxi Restaurant was an ordinary wine shop in the Changning Community. It was located in neither a lonely nor busy street. Meanwhile, its interior decor was simple but elegant, without any bright spots. Therefore, the guests were all the usual common crowd. When it got dark, Dongxi Restaurant closed early as usual. The lamps that lit up the backyard were rather dim. It was evident that they used inferior lamp-oil, as it gave off an unpleasant smell. The only advantage of the lamp-oil was that it was cheap. However, the workers in the store, who were preparing the food materials for the next day, did not care about that, because they could not afford such lamp-oil in their daily lives. In this era, people started work at sunrise and retired at sunset. Only the wealthy families in

Li Ye said this in an assertive tone and continued with a smile, "Although the Black Office lost some people in Taiyuan city, it's only a small price we will inevitably pay for the big action." "There is no intelligence and assassination yamen under Li Keyong. With only yamen runners and ordinary officials, he can't uproot the Black Office in Taiyuan city. I'm sure you will agree that the Black Office is well hidden in Taiyuan city. Even if Li Keyong's subordinates dig deep, they can't distinguish them from ordinary people." After listening to Li Ye's words, Song Jiao gave him an angry stare. Li Ye continued, "It does not matter if there is no rumor that Li Cunxiao will defect in Taiyuan city. A rumor does not have to last forever if it existed once. It has successfully caused instability among the various powers of Taiyuan. And, Li Keyong's prestige has declined a lot. Most importantly, Li Keyong now has doubts about Li Cunxiao."
