Chapter Thirty-Three Great Harvest

  The imperial palace of Chehuo was breached, and all the civil and military officials were slaughtered. This marked the formal extinction of Chehuo, and from then on, there was no longer any existence of Chehuo on the continent!

  "Pass down the order, 30,000 troops outside the city enter the city to stabilize the situation inside the city and send a victory report to Your Majesty. The granary and other warehouses are all sealed and await Your Majesty's dispatch of personnel to receive them!"

  Zhang Liao calmly issued order after order.

  …………

  The imperial court of Cheolong is filled with joy, the good news has arrived, Cheoho has been destroyed, and now all the old lands of Cheoho have belonged to Cheolong, it's really a great joy.

  Ding Yuan was also excited in his heart, and in just a few short months, he had already become the king of two small countries, with a population of over 2 million, having two small cities, and a bright future beckoning to him.

  However, Cheolong is now occupied by Hyeopgang, and it's still too early for everything to return to Cheolong.

  In the imperial court, Wen Si Hai stepped forward and bowed down to the ground: "Your Majesty is truly a true lord. General Zhang Liao will take down Che Hu Guo in no time, and our country's power will surely increase greatly. And since Che Hu Guo is more prosperous than Che Long Guo, I believe that the treasury is full of money and grain. My 100,000-strong army can hold on for at least another year. In this way, my 100,000-strong army can hold on for two years. By then, with the combined strength of our two countries, we should be able to barely support a 100,000-strong army!"

  "Yes, Your Majesty's wise decision to recruit a large army of 100,000 soldiers can indeed quickly eliminate the State of Chehu. I, your old minister, had some doubts at that time, and now I am truly ashamed!"

  The Minister of War, now the leader of the military, also stepped forward and knelt down, saying with shame.

  "Haha, all of you my dear ministers, now I have added the power of a whole country to our Cheolong nation. The most urgent thing right now is to send someone to accept this, and I hope that soon we can let the people of Cheohung nation surrender and become my subjects!"

  Ding Yuan stroked his palm and laughed loudly.

  "This...!"

  Many officials were at a loss, it is well known that destroying a country on the mainland is difficult, but to pacify the people of that country, at least several decades are needed. Now Ding Yuan wants to do it in a short time, they are also powerless and don't know what to say.

  Seeing the ministers' embarrassed expressions, Ding Yuan asked in a suspicious tone: "What's going on? Is there something wrong?"

  Half of them had nothing to say, and Ding Yu smiled: "Mr. Wen, you are the leader of the group, what do you think?"

  "Your Majesty, this is a difficult matter. To make the millions of Chehu people feel at ease and submit, it's not something that can be accomplished overnight. Moreover, Chehuguo is a defeated country, all its people are now slaves of my Chelongguo, they are not our citizens!"

  Ding Yuan heard this, and only then did he recall the rules of this world. The people of a defeated country would be demoted to slaves, and it was natural that these slaves could not settle down in their own country. It would take decades for them to slowly assimilate and absorb.

  But for so long a time, how can Ding Yuan wait? He has the powerful Three Kingdoms generals and now he also has a powerful army in his hands. To destroy the remaining countries of Sheng Xiao Valley and unify Sheng Xiao Valley is just around the corner. If he leaves behind unstable factors that may rebel, how can he be at ease?

  "So, gentlemen, the difficult thing you are trying to do, can it be solved like this? The people of Cheolongguk don't have to be demoted and become poor, but if they make contributions to the country, they can become true people of Cheolongguk, enjoying the full power and obligations of the people of Cheolongguk. Is this feasible?"

  When they heard what Dīng Yuán said, all the ministers of Chē Lóng Guó were shocked in their hearts. This kind of thing had never happened before.

  However, Wen Siyu's eyes lit up at this moment. "Yes, if that's the case, then the people of Chehuo Country have no reason to resist, and Chehuo Country has committed such a heinous crime this time. If it is made public, then our Che Long Country army will become their savior, and the hearts of the people can be stabilized!"

  Wen Si Hai walked out and said: "Your Majesty, this method is very good. I, an old minister, support it. With this approach, combined with certain measures, the people's hearts can be calmed!"

  "Good!"

  Ding Yuan was very pleased and had someone supporting his idea, he was very happy, and only he himself knew that this would definitely work.

  Thus, the court began to discuss specific implementation methods, and Ding Yuan also quickly dispatched officials to Chehu State to accept all materials such as land, money, and food from Chehu State.

  These Zhang Liao can naturally take over, but Ding Yuan knows that Che Hu Guo is just an appetizer. According to his and Zhang Liao's layout, Che She Guo, Che Tu Guo, which borders Che Hu Guo, and Che Ma Guo, Che Ji Guo, which borders Che Long Guo, will all be the target of Che Long Guo's military attack. Now it is necessary to quickly launch a surprise attack before other countries react, and take down the territories of the other four countries in one go.

  At that time, Dingyuan's territory will have a large buffer zone of the six countries' land. At that time, even if the other nations in Shengxiang Valley unite, Che Longguo can rest assured and slowly eliminate those six nations to unify Shengxiang Valley.

  Ding Yuan's task was to fully support Zhang Liao, so the officials sent to receive them were galloping horses and whipping, rushing like fire, and quickly arrived at Chehu City, the capital of Chehu State.

  These officials sent by Ding Yuan were all personally selected by Ding Yuan as his trusted confidants, and they were all reliable young men who handled matters quickly and efficiently, swiftly handing over to Zhang Liao.

  In this way, it is finally possible to know how many materials exist in the Tiger City Warehouse.

  Zhang Liao immediately sealed the treasury after capturing Che Tu City, so the money, grain, weapons and armor in the treasury were not moved at all.

  The city of Chehu has now returned to its former tranquility, and Zhang Liao's troops have strict military discipline, not offending the civilians in the slightest. Therefore, although the people of Chehu are now worried and fearful, no one dares to resist the army of Chelongguo, and they all stay at home, praying for their fate.

  The officials who were sent to receive it finally opened the first warehouse.

  Whoosh! The warehouse door opened, and a dazzling golden light flashed out, making the eyes of the soldier who opened the door ache.

  "Great knives, all of them are high-quality great knives!"

  An official said excitedly.

  The great sword, this is a very rare weapon in the small countries of this world. Because such high-quality great swords are extremely difficult to forge, the cost is too high. Even the great sword troops assembled by the Chelung country with all its might do not use great swords as fine as this one.

  "Wow, this country of Hu is really rich, but their army is also a waste. With such good weapons, they still lost easily!"

  Another official said disdainfully.

  "You know what, it's not that you're great, but rather General Zhang Liao is awesome. I heard that General Xiang Lang led 5,000 vanguard troops alone and defeated the 35,000-strong army of Chehu State!"

  "Yes, General Zhang Liao is indeed a god of war. The country of Chehu heard that he summoned a powerful giant tiger, but this giant tiger was actually led by General Zhang Liao to be slaughtered by the army. The corpse of the giant tiger has now been guarded by General Chen Ying and presented to Your Majesty!"

  Several officials were excitedly discussing something.

  "Alright, let's get started with the inventory! We didn't come here for nothing!"

  A dignified-looking official said.

  The official finished speaking, and those young officials, although still very excited, also quickly got busy with their work.

  "Alright, has everyone finished checking their respective areas?"

  The first calm official spoke up.

  "I have 1,500 of them here!"

  "I have 2,000 of them here!"

  "I have 1,500 of them here!"

  …………

  Soon these officials reported one by one the number of knives in their respective areas they were in charge of.

  "Hmm, very good, adding the 2,500 I have here, that makes a total of 10,000, exactly 10,000 big knives, quite a harvest indeed!"

  The chief officer smiled and made an inventory of this first warehouse, then said: "Let's go take a look at the second warehouse!"

  The first warehouse was a great success, with huge gains, and the officials were filled with expectations for the subsequent warehouses. Although the more things in the warehouse, the harder they had to work, but as officials of Cheolong Country, they naturally hoped that the seized materials would be better.

  With the help of soldiers sent by Zhang Liao, all officials were able to make an inventory of all warehouse materials, and the final material situation was indeed rich to death.

  It seems that the Hu Guo had long been prepared, and most of them were military supplies. There was not much money, but there were a lot of weapons, armor, and food resources. What's more exciting is that in the horse farm outside the city, they collected 1,000 war horses!

  War horses are strategic resources that small countries can hardly possess, but now a thousand war horses have been found in this stud farm, plus the previously captured war horses, enough to form a cavalry regiment!

  Everything was arranged and he immediately rushed to report to Ding Yuan.

  Chehu City is about five hundred kilometers away from Che Long Guo. Riding a fast horse, it took less than a day for Ding Yuan to learn of this matter.

  Moreover, Chen Ying, a three-country dragon suit general, brought soldiers to present him with a giant tiger. It is said that this tiger was the most powerful enemy encountered by Chehu Guo this time, but under Zhang Liao's command and the help of many generals, it was finally killed.

  This is also the strongest existence Ding Yuan has ever seen in this world!

  But what was even more surprising was that the records sent back by the officials in charge of statistics made Ding Yuan so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and the wealth of Chehuo Guo far exceeded his imagination.

  Cheolong Kingdom exhausted all its resources to build a large army of 100,000 men, but unexpectedly, Cheohwa Kingdom had enough weapons and armor to equip an army of 100,000, as well as three years' worth of food for the same number of soldiers. The only pity was that there wasn't much money left.

  "Haha, what a great harvest! It seems that Che Hu Guo is also ambitious and has prepared such a rich family fortune, but now it's all gone to waste, haha!"

  A complacent and eerie laugh suddenly echoed out from within the depths of Che Lung Country's Ting Yuan Palace...
