Originally, the enemy army of 300,000 was now left with only 180,000 people who completely surrendered.
It took Beiliang less than a day to occupy Fengling Commandery.
After Beiliang's army entered Fengling City, the common people in the city were extremely fearful and wanted to flee.
After entering Fengling City, the first thing Li Luo did was issue a military order.
It was that after entering the city, Beiliang's army must not disturb the common people, let alone damage anything in the city.
After Li Luo's order was issued, Beiliang's army strictly enforced it.
Some common people who had wanted to flee originally decided to stay after seeing that the incoming army did not mistreat them.
After all, who would want to leave their hometown and wander outside, if not out of desperation?!
Besides, who in the entire Liyang Dynasty didn't know about Li Luo's identity as the Crown Prince?!
Some people who knew about Li Luo's reputation were overjoyed when they saw Li Luo lead the army into the city.
These people had been to Beiliang before.
The common people there lived in peace and prosperity, which made them very envious.
After Li Luo led the army to occupy Fengling City, he quickly let Beiliang's army take control of public security in the city.
He cleared out some families who oppressed the common people and administered justice for the common people.
What's more, in front of all the common people of Fengling Commandery, he publicly executed a group of corrupt officials who exploited the common people.
Not only that, Li Luo reduced taxes and encouraged resuming production.
With this series of actions, Li Luo quickly won over the hearts of the common people of Fengling Commandery.
At the same time as winning over the hearts of the people, Li Luo also gained 400,000 reputation points.
Late at night, Li Luo sat on the bed and entered the system space with his consciousness.
Li Luo planned to use the 400,000 reputation points to advance his cultivation level.
System: 【Does the host confirm spending 400,000 reputation points to advance in cultivation base?】
"Confirm!"
Li Luo murmured, and the system immediately deducted 400,000 reputation points.
Then, Li Luo suddenly felt a terrifying power surge through his body.
"Boom!"
In an instant, Li Luo's aura skyrocketed, and his cultivation instantly rose to the early Great Yuan realm.
Li Luo was incredulous as he sensed the surging power in his body.
This advancement was too easy!
As easy as drinking water!
Plus, with him, Beiliang now had four Great Yuan realm experts!
Thinking of this, Li Luo couldn't help but smirk.
Now in the entire Liyang Dynasty, as long as there was no Return to Emptiness realm expert.
Who could be a match for them Beiliang?
King Wu? King Jin?
Sorry, Li Luo didn't even put them in his eyes now.
The next day, the news of King Qi's death instantly spread throughout the entire Liyang Dynasty.
Before anyone could digest this news, Beiliang's army began to move early in the morning.
They were ready to take over all of King Qi's territories with their own power.
Now that King Qi was dead and all the top-level experts were killed by Beiliang, the remaining commanderies simply could not withstand Beiliang's army.
So Li Luo decided to divide his troops into three routes.
Gao Shun and Li Ergou led the Trap Camp.
Li Beixiong and the Seven Heroes of Beiliang.
As for Li Luo, he took Lu Renjia and Shan Pao, plus 100,000 Beiliang's Iron Cavalry.
The three teams set out from Fengling Commandery and divided into three routes, starting an unstoppable sweep.
Soon, cities were conquered one after another and fell into Beiliang's hands.
At the same time, in King Wu's palace,
a man wearing a python robe, exuding a terrifying aura over his body.
This person was none other than King Wu.
"What an impressive Beiliang!"
"Hiding so deeply."
King Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of apprehension on his face.
The news of two mysterious Great Yuan realm experts appearing in Beiliang without any signs naturally did not escape their ears.
"Your Highness, should we temporarily give up attacking King Jin for now?"
"Beiliang is our biggest opponent..."
Among King Wu's retainers, a few armored generals stood. One of them spoke up and asked.
"No, we must accelerate our speed to destroy King Jin."
"Only then can we increase our strength!"
"Don't forget, we have the support of the Shenyu Dynasty behind us..."
King Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of chill in them.
The generals looked at each other and nodded...
...
In the imperial capital of the Nanyun Kingdom,
Emperor Wei Jun of Nanyun Kingdom wore a dragon robe and sat on the dragon throne.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials had shocked expressions on their faces.
"Your Majesty, according to the scout's report, General Heifeng has fallen!"
"Also, King Qi of Liyang Dynasty has also fallen at the hands of someone named Gao Shun."
A Great Yuan realm general stepped forward and cupped his fist to speak.
"Gao Shun? Why have I never heard of this person's name?"
Wei Jun's eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of anger on his face.
Losing a Great Yuan realm expert was also painful to him.
However, Wei Jun was a little gleeful in his heart now.
Now that King Qi had died, it was the best opportunity for them Nanyun Kingdom to seize cities in their borderlands.
Also, Heifeng's death gave them the perfect reason to send troops.
The group of ministers all shook their heads.
"Your Majesty, now that King Qi is dead, it is the perfect opportunity for us to occupy the borderlands in the west."
"This subject strongly urges Your Majesty to swiftly send troops!"
"And take revenge for General Heifeng while we're at it!"
At this moment, an armored general with surging murderous aura all over his body stepped forward. He faced Wei Jun on the throne and cupped his fists to speak.
Seeing this person speak, the civil officials all had changed expressions.
When they looked at this general, it was with deep apprehension.
The one before them was the head of their Nanyun Kingdom's Five Great Generals, the God of War General, Murong Liao.
Murong Liao's fame was known to all in the nearby kingdoms.
"Hahaha..."
"Good. I order the Grand General to lead our kingdom's Black Cavalry Army to take the Western Province along our borders..."
"If possible, I also hope the General can destroy Beiliang's army and bring our Black Cavalry Army's fame to new heights!"
Murong Liao's words touched exactly what Wei Jun had in mind.
He immediately agreed to Murong Liao's proposal on the spot.
The other ministers also nodded in agreement.
"Your subject obeys!"
"Your subject will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty!"
Murong Liao laughed excitedly, his eyes bursting with icy battle intent.
In this region, there were two armies famous throughout the land.
One was Beiliang Army of Liyang Dynasty.
The other was their Nanyun Kingdom's Black Cavalry Army.
Murong Liao had long wanted to clash with Liyang Dynasty's Beiliang Army.
He wanted to let the world know.
Their Nanyun Kingdom's Black Cavalry Army was the strongest army!
The next day, Murong Liao led the massive Black Cavalry Army in a swift assault. They mightily marched to Liyang Dynasty's Western Province borderlands.
And the Black Cavalry Army quickly captured several cities at an extremely fast pace.
As soon as this news came out, it caused huge waves between the citizens of both countries.
"Hahaha... General Murong is truly our Nanyun Kingdom's pride!"
"That's right, how could Liyang Dynasty possibly be a match for our Black Cavalry Army."
"It looks like our Nanyun Kingdom's territory is about to expand again..."
"Hehe... I heard Liyang Dynasty currently has four rebelling kings. Its downfall is only a matter of time. We might as well take advantage for our Nanyun Kingdom."
"Right, right..."
The common people on Nanyun Kingdom's side were fired up after receiving the good news from the Black Cavalry Army.
Many people enthusiastically discussed in taverns on the streets, all believing that Liyang Dynasty's Western Province was already in their Nanyun's bag.
