I, Altria, only want to rule China.

This Wei soldier never knew until his death why his own people attacked him.

After he died, his body staggered to its feet, walked towards another Wei soldier, and stabbed him in the back.

Things happened one after another in this tent, and they had no idea who was the enemy and who was the friend!

The entire Wei camp was thrown into chaos, and there was no room to support other camps.

Chapter 105 Persuading Surrender

The view returned to Leah's side. As the shouting and killing sounds got closer and closer, the soldiers on Leah's side had completely controlled the entire enemy camp.

"Your Majesty, who are these people?" Seeing Leah confronting a dozen people, Li Lin came over from a distance. At this moment, he was covered in blood and it was unknown how many enemy soldiers he had killed.

"Aren't they just those enemy generals?" Leah chuckled a few times.

"So that's how it is." After hearing what Leah said, Li Lin suddenly realized. No wonder the enemy had no generals coming out to command. It turned out that they were all trapped here by His Majesty.

Surrounding a dozen people by oneself, perhaps only Your Majesty can do it?

"Since he is the enemy's general, then......?" Li Lin looked at Liya with some doubt. If he is the enemy's general, why hasn't he made a move yet?

"I'm waiting for them to surrender. Maybe they think there will be reinforcements? Haha." Leah chuckled.

"Your Majesty, why haven't the two waves of enemy troops responded yet?" Li Lin was also very puzzled.

Logically speaking, even if they successfully attacked the enemy's main camp, there would be no movement in the other two camps. Why hasn't the enemy come to support them yet?

"Because they can't come." Leah naturally knew what was going on. The other two camps were trapped by Merlin and Morgan respectively, so she dared to let the army attack the main camp.

Otherwise, even if the attack is successful, won't they be surrounded by the enemy army when they arrive?

For Leah, if she just wanted to win this battle, she only needed to kill the generals in front of her, and then continue to charge while these soldiers were leaderless, and she would be able to win.

However, this will not achieve the greatest results. Although we can defeat the enemy this time because of the sneak attack, the enemy are not all lambs to be slaughtered. They will resist, and our soldiers will suffer casualties.

As long as the enemy generals see no hope this time, they will choose to surrender. Once they choose to surrender, the soldiers in the other two camps will also surrender after receiving the order.

If you can defeat the enemy at the lowest cost, why not do it?

The victory of this battle is not crucial. The key lies in how to persuade the core figures of the enemy army to surrender or capture them. That is why Leah did not kill all the enemy's leading generals.

If she could conquer this army, their fighting power would instantly increase. As long as she had an additional army of tens of thousands of people, everything she did later would be much easier.

Seeing that reinforcements had not arrived yet and the number of enemy troops was increasing, the Wei generals chose to surrender after weighing the pros and cons.

Because it was a night attack, Leah's troops did not suffer many casualties, only more than 1000 people, but the enemy's troops suffered more than casualties.

Just one war caused the loss of more than 20,000 lives. Leah couldn't help but sigh at the cheapness of human life.

However, the reason they were able to defeat the enemy tonight was because their combat power was too high. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the raid would not have been successful.

Li Lin watched the scene of Liya persuading the enemy general to surrender, and couldn't help but sigh, Your Majesty is really a goddess!

The plan that seemed impossible to him was actually successful.

..

We all know that if a person is awakened from a deep sleep at night, he or she will temporarily lose the ability to think and will be in a panic.

In order to achieve this goal, soldiers were sent to set fire to the camp and shout loudly.

This will make the enemy think that there are a lot of people on our side, and when the enemy is in panic, they will subconsciously rush to the exit.

Finally, all our soldiers were equipped with war horses, forming a small force with strong combat effectiveness and mobility, and carried out the raid under the cover of darkness.

Once there are more people and they realize that the enemy has arrived, these soldiers will form a crowd at the door, and then continue to push towards the door, eventually causing a stampede.

Finally, we tried to persuade these desperate generals to surrender. Because of their previous experiences, the enemy must have felt that we were unfathomable, so there was a high probability that our persuasion would succeed.

You’re right, that’s what Leah did, but it’s impossible for such a thing to succeed, but it succeeded nonetheless.

The enemy army clearly has two more divisions, each with 30,000 soldiers, so what are these generals doing? Don't they realize what's going on here?

Li Lin thought it was impossible. The most likely possibility was that His Majesty had also sent soldiers to intercept on both sides. However, there were only so many soldiers in Chang'an. Apart from these, could there be other hidden troops that he didn't know about?

When Li Lin thought of this, he was shocked, but then he stopped thinking about it. It would be better for him to know less about these things.

Early the next morning, Liya took Tuoba Ming to persuade the soldiers to surrender. Liya first came to the camp where Morgan was blocking them.

All I saw were corpses all over the ground, but these corpses were all soldiers of the Wei State, and these soldiers still looked terrified.

After all, this matter was too weird. Why did all his friendly forces become enemies? And they were impossible to kill. He fought with these undead monsters all night long, and only when it was almost dawn did these undead monsters really die.

Although they were fighting against undead monsters, not many soldiers actually died. The number of corpses Morgan could control was also limited, and only a few thousand people died that night.

But these thousands of people made these soldiers see what real fear is.

When Leah personally brought their general to the camp to persuade them to surrender, the soldiers quickly surrendered.

However, the aftermath of this incident was very serious. The news that there was a sorcerer in the Wu Kingdom's army who was controlling the corpses of soldiers to fight against living people had quietly spread among the army.

If it weren't for Leah's prestige and her daily benevolent policies, the rumor would probably spread more and more widely. Leah also knew that this skill could no longer be used.

Just when Leah was planning to use the same trick to persuade the last group of enemy troops to surrender, the news she received surprised her a little bit that the last group of enemy troops had retreated.

This was something Leah had not expected. The enemy actually retreated. It seemed that the enemy had already learned of the defeat of the Wei army, so they just ran away.

The other party ran away, and Na Liya had no way to chase them. She could only deal with the Wei soldiers who had surrendered.

Chapter 106: Leah's Soul-Stirring Soup

To be honest, although these generals were defeated so easily by her, in fact, many of them were experienced in battles. It can be said that they were all trained by Tuoba Tao and were all famous generals of the time.

This is why Liya wants to recruit them. She has too few generals who can really fight alone. She can't lead troops to attack everywhere in the future, right?

It’s just that these generals were unlucky. The British trio they encountered were completely incompatible with the people of this era.

Logically speaking, Leah and the others are all mythical characters, and they should stay on Britain, the last mythical island, and not go anywhere else.

But because of Leah, everyone ran out of Britain, which led to this situation.

In terms of results, we are not on the same track at all!

The opponents that Leah and the others have to face are actually people who are in the period of Conferred Gods, such as Su Daji, a "big demon fox" called a beast.

Of course, we have gone off topic. Anyway, after all these operations, the Northern Wei's action was another great defeat.

However, although Leah has captured these generals, how to make them truly return to her will is another big problem. You know, these generals can rebel at any time, and it will be a big problem if they are brought into the city at that time.

Liya thought about it and decided that she still needed to give them some inspiration.

As Leah looked at the rows of captured soldiers and the expressions of worry about their future on their faces, she spoke.

"I have been thinking about a question: why do we, as members of the Chinese land and as compatriots, have to fight each other?"

Leah's sudden words made the Wei captives a little stunned. They didn't know what this beautiful, fairy-like Emperor Wu wanted to say.

"Why do so many lives get lost in every battle? Aren't we all compatriots? Why do we have to fight this meaningless war?"

"Really, I don't want you, my compatriots, to be dragged into war because of this war. I don't want to see you lying in a pool of blood again."

“I have a dream that one day the Chinese nation will once again rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed, believing these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”

"I dream that one day, both Han Chinese and other ethnic minorities from other regions will be able to sit together on the land of China and share the brotherhood of brotherhood."

"I have always had a dream...

So, I need you, the soldiers, to be loyal. Come and fight for our common ideals!"

Leah shouted the last words even louder.

Although these are very poisonous and embarrassing for Leah, who has already been beaten by the 21st century society.

But for these uneducated soldiers, it is undoubtedly true chicken soup for the soul!

These soldiers had never heard such exciting words before. They were so excited that finally, the first person knelt down.

Like a tide, everyone began to drop their weapons, and shouts of "Long live Her Majesty!" resounded throughout the wilderness.

Faced with Leah's words, how could these ordinary people not be excited?

It can be said that Leah's speech completely won over these soldiers.

But even so, there are still many problems to face after the battle, such as the problem of soldiers killed in battle. There is also the fatigue after a big battle, and they need to rest.

Next is the next offensive plan and so on, all of which need to be sorted out by the ministers.

However, after the news of Wei's defeat spread, Leah could take action and take over the remaining counties in Shaanxi Province.

Thinking of this, Liya immediately asked Li Lin to lead the soldiers to take over the remaining counties in Shaanxi Province that were not under her rule. By the way, she also sent another general to Ningxia to take Ningxia as well.

In this way, she will be able to control the four provinces of Xinjiang, Gansu, Shaanxi and Ningxia, and her apparent strength will be close to that of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty was also greatly reduced. Now it not only had to guard against the Song Dynasty in the south, but also the rising Wu Dynasty in the west, and finally, it had to resist the Rouran in the north. It seemed that it was surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Not only that, the troops led by Pi Baozi did not flee directly back to Luoyang, but went to Jinzhou, which is Shanxi Province, and directly took Jinzhou and proclaimed themselves king.

Liya was also a little surprised to hear the news. This Pi Baozi was a general of the Northern Wei during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. She didn't expect that he would directly rebel. It seemed that he had suffered a heavy blow from her.

But to be honest, this is indeed Leah's problem.

According to the normal historical line, Pi Baozi would not rebel against the Northern Wei Dynasty. After all, he had been relatively successful in his military career. However, he had suffered consecutive failures since the expedition against Liya.

The last time he led 50,000 troops to attack Liya, he was defeated and lost the pass. He was almost killed by Emperor Taiwu. Originally, he wanted to atone for his sins this time, but for some reason, they had no idea what happened to the commander.

By the time they realized it, they had already been badly defeated.

And what about them? Although their troops were not damaged, they were still charged with the serious crime of confiscation of property and extermination of their clan.

After all, they did not move their troops and watched the main army camp being destroyed. What kind of thing was that?

If he were to return to Luoyang with his army now, what would be the consequences? There was no need to think about the charges that would be against him.

After reaching a dead end, Pi Baozi began to think about the reasons for his current failure.

The Northern Wei Dynasty was so powerful, with strong soldiers and horses, so why couldn't they suppress a rebel? Later, he figured it out.

That's because the people were on her side. The people were on the side of the rebels because they killed the officials, released grain, and distributed the land.

She neither forced the people to rebel with her nor robbed them of anything. Instead, she protected the people everywhere, which is exactly what the Wei State has done over the years.

Either they conscripted young men into the army, or they robbed the people of their food. The result is obvious: Wei had already lost the support of the people, otherwise there wouldn't be rebellions everywhere.

Thinking of this, Pi Baozi took a deep breath. It was not that he did not want to continue supporting Wei, but there were so many drawbacks that it was really impossible to support it!

If the State of Wu had not risen, these drawbacks could actually have been slowly resolved, but since it had already risen, these drawbacks of the State of Wei became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Anyway, if I go back this time, I will definitely be settled with the Emperor Taiwu. Since I will die if I rebel, and I will also die if I go back, I might as well just rebel!

Chapter 107 I also rebelled

Thinking of this, Pi Baozi looked at his men and said, "Everyone, if we sit and watch the Wei army fail without going to support them, we will definitely be sentenced to death when we return. If you don't want to die, then follow me and rebel!"

One of Pi Baozi's generals looked up at him and said, "Master, we brothers have always followed you. You treat us well. If you want to lead us in rebellion, we brothers will definitely not say no!"

After that, the general looked at the other generals and soldiers and said loudly: "Master Pi Baozi treats us well on weekdays, but those soldiers of Wei State do not treat us as human beings! Now Master Pi Baozi wants to lead us to rebel against Wei State, we will definitely follow Master Pi Baozi, don't you think so!"

Under the urging of these generals, the soldiers quickly responded.

After thinking for a moment, Pi Baozi said

"Since the rebels are able to occupy Hexi Guanzhong, then we will take Jinzhou. As long as you follow me, I will never treat you unfairly! After taking Jinzhou, I will be the king, and you brothers will also be rewarded!"

In Pi Baozi's opinion, as long as he took Bingzhou now, the State of Wei would be seriously damaged. At that time, even if Tuoba Tao wanted to attack him, he would not have the ability to do so.

Hearing the words "everyone will be rewarded", the soldiers present became excited.

Most of the soldiers here were recruited by the Wei State from various regions across the country. Although Pi Baozi had a history of embezzling official silver, he was extremely generous to his subordinates and was never stingy when it came to rewards. This was also the reason why most people were willing to follow him.

Now Pi Baozi has personally promised that everyone will be rewarded, so after he captures Jinzhou, there will definitely be rewards.

You have to know that being a king requires power. To have power, you need soldiers. To have soldiers, you have to expand the army. If you recruit soldiers and expand the army, won't it be natural for people like you to be promoted?

Thinking of this, the generals couldn't help but shout.

"Fuck him!"

"I have long been unhappy with the Wei Kingdom."

"If General Pi becomes emperor in the future, we will be his heroes!"

In short, all kinds of treasonous words came out of the mouths of these generals.
