I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 39 There is a Reborn Person in the Mansion 38
Upon hearing that Menggena had surrendered, the exhausted Heroines Army, exhausted from their long march, breathed a sigh of relief, and Yu Muhuai also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Avoiding war would naturally be the best option.

The country needs proper rest and recuperation to allow the population to increase and food production to rise.

Having enough to eat and drink, and being warmly clothed are the most important things for people's livelihood.

Yuanchang Kingdom has only gradually weakened the power of its vassal kings and restored its national strength in the last ten years. Necessary wars must be fought, and they must be fought well. However, it is better to avoid unnecessary wars.

Subduing the enemy without fighting is the best strategy in warfare.

The previous battles had already frightened the Mongols, and they were willing to submit, which was undoubtedly the best outcome for the Yuanchang Kingdom.

Li Cheng and Cen Xiang naturally agreed with great joy.

However, Li Cheng stated that Longshang City needed to open its gates wide to welcome the Yuanchang troops into the city, and that the city lord's mansion should host a welcome banquet for them, allowing them to set up military camps within the city.

The envoys from Mongolonia exchanged glances, discussed the matter, and then agreed to Li Cheng's request.

Li Yuanyuan lost her right arm and her injury was quite serious, so she stayed in Luohuai City, where the army doctor bandaged and treated her, and she was temporarily unable to move around freely.

At this moment, Yu Muhuai happily rode on horseback, following behind Cen Xiang, heading towards Longshang City, which was just a stone's throw away.

Liu Xiaoduo rode alongside Yu Muhuai, the two supporting each other as they moved forward, clearly having become the closest comrades-in-arms.

Liu Xiaoduo and Li Yuanyuan are relatives, and both of them saved Yu Muhuai's life. Yu Muhuai decided to do his best to protect them before leaving this world.

"Xiao Meng, do we consider this a victory?" Liu Xiaoduo asked excitedly from the side.

Yu Muhuai nodded. "The other side has surrendered. It's a great victory!"

Liu Xiaoduo's eyes lit up, "Wow! If we win the battle, I'll get a lot of silver! I'll send it all to my parents, my younger brother and sister, and they'll be able to live a good life!"

At this point, she suddenly remembered something, and a hint of sadness crept into her eyes, "But Yuanyuan's hand might not be able to go to the battlefield again. I... I feel a little sad."

Yu Muhuai pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Xiaoduo, don't worry, I have plenty of money. All the money I get will go to Yuanyuan. I will ask my brother to take care of her future life."

Liu Xiaoduo scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "That's not what I meant when I mentioned Yuanyuan, Xiaomeng, don't misunderstand. Although we are poor, we are all ambitious and won't easily take your money."

Just as Yu Muhuai was about to explain that she had no intention of giving alms, a riot suddenly broke out ahead.

At this time, the Yuanchang troops had all entered Longshang City, and many civilians from Menggena were watching on both sides.

Some of them were carrying children, most were dressed in tattered clothes, and their faces were so dirty that their features were unrecognizable. The eyes of these onlookers were filled with fear as they looked at the large, advancing Yuanchang army.

The buildings in Longshang City are all made of rammed earth, which is suitable for the long-term cold weather in the north, and are simple and rough.

The people of Menggena were suffering from a severe shortage of supplies, with problems even with food, clothing, and daily necessities. This is why they marched on Luohuai City at the instigation of Beiliang.

Their impoverished circumstances are evident in the appearance of the people.

However, before Yu Muhuai could take a closer look at these ordinary people of Menggena, he saw screams and corpses lying all over the ground ahead.

Yu Muhuai stared in disbelief at the figure wielding the sword—it was Li Cheng leading the Anbei army!

It turned out that Li Cheng had only pretended to agree to Menggena's surrender. After entering Longshang City without firing a single shot, he immediately turned on the common people in the surrounding area. After breaking his promise, Li Cheng intended to slaughter the entire population of Longshang City, killing, looting, and plundering what little wealth they had.

The Mongol army reacted quickly, their eyes red with fury as they roared and charged forward, determined to fight these untrustworthy and despicable scoundrels to the death and protect their people.

However, without the barrier of the city walls of Longshang, the Anbei army, advancing unimpeded, was like the Grim Reaper, wielding its scythe to reap lives.

"Li Cheng! What do you mean by this?" Cen Xiang was taken aback. She cracked her whip and charged out from the ranks of the female soldiers. She spurred her horse forward, came to Li Cheng's side, and shouted at him, demanding an explanation.

"Hmph, what do you mean? Can't you see it?" Li Cheng glanced at Cen Xiang and answered nonchalantly.

After saying this, Li Cheng stopped looking at Cen Xiang and turned to face the bloody scene of the slaughter of innocent civilians in front of him, a satisfied expression on his face.

Cen Xiang was furious. "They've already surrendered, so why are we still going to wage war? And why are we even attacking innocent civilians? Do you want to massacre the entire city?"

"Yes! I'm going to wipe out all these ants!"

"Ha, innocent civilians? These people are accomplices in the invasion of Luohuai City. How are they innocent? Cen Xiang, you women are truly too soft-hearted. I think you should stay home and take care of the children after you go back this time, and not come out again!"

After saying this, Li Cheng and his generals couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Li Cheng! Don't think I don't know your intentions! The merit of attacking a city is far greater than the merit of surrendering. You're just after this, trying to gain credit for it! Are you willing to sacrifice the lives of so many civilians for your promotion?"

The surroundings were too noisy, and Yu Muhuai could only hear Cen Xiang's voice intermittently.

At this moment, the entire city of Longshang was filled with mournful wails and tragic screams. Who could have imagined that Yuanchang Kingdom, which had always prided itself on being a land of etiquette, would be the first to break the agreement and do such a treacherous and inhumane thing?

The unarmed civilians scattered and fled, but their pale faces made them no match for the well-trained soldiers.

The sounds of weapons piercing through bodies rang out continuously, accompanied by cries of agony and pleas for mercy.

Due to insufficient preparation, the Mongol soldiers did not even release their horses, thus losing the advantage of cavalry warfare and having to rely on their physical strength to resist the iron hooves and weapons of the Anbei army.

However, faced with a well-prepared and vast army, such resistance was merely a drop in the ocean. The Mongol soldiers could only watch helplessly as the people behind them were humiliated, killed, and robbed.

Yu Muhuai looked reluctant; the rewards for a successful siege were far greater than those for surrender. This one-sided massacre was not for victory, but for the selfish desires of Li Cheng's Anbei army.

Yu Muhuai, who was trying hard to hear Cen Xiang's conversation, did not notice that Liu Xiaoduo was missing from his side.

In the distance, a mother holding her child frantically tried to avoid the Anbei army's swords, but to no avail.

She was held down by several soldiers, her clothes were torn, and her mouth was gagged. She could only let out unwilling whimpers as she struggled desperately under the soldiers' assault.

A baby a few months old broke free from its mother's embrace and began to wail loudly.

The noise was so irritating that the soldiers picked up the toddlers, ready to throw them to the ground.

"What?!"

Several soldiers looked up and saw a short, honest-looking female soldier on horseback, frowning at them and loudly stopping them.
