We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 354: If This Prince Were to Proclaim Himself Emperor, What Then?

News of Xiahou Nanʼs surrender to the Northern Frontier army, under Xiao Moʼs orchestration, spread throughout Zhei Kingdomʼs entire territory at an extremely fast pace.

Many generals had originally had thoughts of surrendering but were still hesitating. Now that even General Xiahou had surrendered, they no longer needed to hesitate.

Thus, more and more generals surrendered. The Northern Frontier armyʼs four battle lines breached cities and accepted surrenders all the way, arriving directly at the Zhei capital!

In the Zhei Kingdomʼs palace, after learning that Xiahou Nan had led his army to surrender, the Zhei Kingdomʼs ruler cursed furiously in the imperial court. This time, he truly fainted from anger. However, when he awoke, he still had to face reality and still had to think of ways to resist the Northern Frontier army.

But the problem was, aside from the Zhei Kingdom capitalʼs grand formation that would be breached sooner or later, as well as the two hundred thousand forbidden troops in the capital and the palaceʼs enshrined cultivators, what other bargaining chips did they have?

When the Northern Frontier armyʼs four routes converged, their city would inevitably be breached.

The Zhei Kingdomʼs ruler already regretted it. He should not have hesitated back then but should have directly surrendered. This current outcome was truly not what he had wished for!

On the fifth day after Xiahou Nanʼs surrender, Xiao Mo ordered the siege to begin.

Xiahou Nan personally led the original surrendered troops to attack the south gate of the Zhei capital. Xiao Mo attacked the east gate.

Those surrendered soldiers, under Xiahou Nanʼs command, no longer had any other thoughts and simply followed orders, achieving their original combat strength.
Moreover, because Xiahou Nan knew the defensive arrangements of the Zhei Kingdomʼs capital, the pressure on the siege was extremely great.

Even because some of the capitalʼs defending generals had past connections with Xiahou Nan, when Xiahou Nan tried to persuade them to surrender, their originally uncertain thoughts became even more tumultuous.

Those civil officials in the imperial court only wanted to preserve themselves, thinking of ways to escape.

As for national righteousness, what did that have to do with them?

Thirty-three days later, the Zhei Kingdom capitalʼs formation shattered. Xiao Mo and Xiahou Nan killed their way into the Zhei Kingdomʼs capital.

Xiao Mo ordered the entire army not to disturb the civilians, or face severe punishment!

Although Xiahou Nan reached the palace gates a step ahead of Xiao Mo, he did not enter but waited for Xiao Mo to arrive.

After Xiao Mo arrived, he and Xiahou Nan together killed their way into the palace.

The Zhei Kingdomʼs ruler did not wish to endure the humiliation from Qin Kingdom and wanted to hang himself, but because of cowardice, he couldnʼt make up his mind several times. Finally, when Xiao Mo found him, this Zhei Kingdom ruler was still standing on a stool.

The Zhei Kingdomʼs imperial family was captured entirely by Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo also met that princess whom the Zhei Kingdomʼs ruler had originally intended to betroth to him.

Xiao Mo had nothing particular to say. After all, a personʼs appearance could not be defined by worldly perspectives. However, Xiao Mo still had to say that he did not enjoy driving tanks.

After bringing the Zhei Kingdomʼs imperial family completely under control, the second thing Xiao Mo did was to have people thoroughly inventory Zhei Kingdomʼs roster of officials, topographical maps of mountains and rivers, household registers, and other documents.

As for Zhei Kingdomʼs officials, at Xiahou Nanʼs suggestion, Xiao Mo directly executed a large batch of them.

Xiahou Nan also compiled a list of officials.

These officials were devoted to the country and possessed ability. However, these officials had no favorable impression of Xiao Mo and did not want to work for him.

Xiao Mo did not make things difficult for them but instead let them go, even providing them with some money. However, if they wished to enter officialdom, they would still need to see His Majestyʼs intentions.

On the tenth day after Xiao Mo breached the Zhei Kingdomʼs capital, Xiao Shi and the other three army routes successively arrived at the Zhei Kingdomʼs capital.
