The First Tyrant of Daxia

As the chief of staff of the Restoration Army, Wu Zeng had already become a military strategist. His status in the Restoration Army was second only to Wanyan Honglie. Many major decisions were made by him, such as the massacre of the city!

At this moment, his eyes flashed, and his hooked nose seemed to be born with bad intentions. He bowed and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we all know that you are a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty, but some people are not like that!"

The rather inflammatory words made many people in the Restoration Army nod in agreement: "Military Advisor's words make sense. The Great Xia Emperor's imperial decree and order clearly show that he does not take your Majesty seriously."

"If he really cares about his friendship with His Majesty, he shouldn't be so arrogant!"

"Yes, in my opinion, this person just wants to interfere in our affairs."

"..."

Wanyan Honglie frowned. With the overwhelming support from the imperial camp, he seemed to lack a strong opinion. He pinched the dragon chair and sighed, "It is easy to beg for mercy, and it is easy to be soft-hearted. No matter what, the Restoration Army was able to rise to prominence thanks to his support."

"When I was on the run, without his protection, I would have died countless times, so... I don't want to tear my face apart."

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed a trace of embarrassment. His Majesty was still unable to take the final step.

Wu Zeng did not continue, but changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty, I have found some information through various means not long ago. Perhaps you will change your mind after knowing it."

Wanyan Honglie raised his eyebrows: "What news?"

The Imperial Camp suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked over. Wu Zeng said in a hoarse voice with a bad look in his eyes, "Muchen from Tongcheng has contacted Xianzhen Valley many times, and the exchanges are very close."

"Dugu Jin is trying to build a bridge to get Mu Chen to join Daxia!"

Wanyan Honglie stood up and shouted, "What did you say?"

Wu Zeng immediately knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what I said is absolutely true. It's not just Mu Chen's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but also the five great nobles in the Northeast. They have already begun to transfer their property and are huddled together!"

"They want to join Daxia!"

In the imperial camp, the Restoration Army soldiers all looked unhappy: "What does the Great Xia Emperor mean by this?"

"His hands are stretched too far!"

"The most terrifying thing is not these people or these riches, but his intentions! Your Majesty, you must be on guard! When we first started the war, he was unwilling to send out his troops. Now that he sees us advancing triumphantly and crushing everything in our path, and about to succeed, he comes again!"

"Humph!"

"I understand now. The Great Xia Emperor wants to reap the benefits by letting us fight and then he will take over. How insidious!"

"..."

At this moment, Wanyan Honglie stood there with an ugly look on his face. Various emotions kept flashing in his eyes: dissatisfaction, doubt, suspicion, hesitation...

Listening to the noisy sounds around him, his head was about to explode. He suddenly got furious and slammed his fist on the table: "Enough!!"

boom!

The desk was shaking and files were scattered all over the floor.

The entire imperial camp trembled, and everyone quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Wanyan Honglie snorted heavily, and no one knew what he was dissatisfied with. His brows were tightly knitted together. He turned around and walked away, slamming his hands hard on the table, then took a deep breath. He was in the most struggling moment.

His reason told him that Qin Yun was not such a person. Even if he was, it was understandable. After all, the two sides had reached many agreements, and the Restoration Army had no right to prevent Qin Yun from demanding various benefits.

Even Wanyan Honglie knew better than anyone that the Restoration Army was Qin Yun's subordinate, and it was not wrong for Mu Chen to surrender to Qin Yun, but he just didn't want to admit it.

But there was another devilish voice in his heart, constantly pulling at his reason, that is, the power of the world is in his hands, and no one else can sleep soundly where he sleeps!!

He gripped the table with his ten fingers, his knuckles turned white, and there was a banging sound, which made the faces of the generals below turn cold and they dared not make a sound.

His face was red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared in his heart, "No, no! I was once like a stray dog, being hunted down to the point where I had no way to go up to the sky or down to the earth. How can I repeat the same mistake? I want to take everything I have into my own hands!"

"what!!"

He roared, overturned the table, and banged it all over the floor.

Wu Zeng and others showed joy on their faces, it seemed that His Majesty was unhappy.

"Wu Zeng!!" Wanyan Honglie pointed his finger and roared without looking back.

"I'm here!" Wu Zeng bowed and responded loudly.

Wanyan Honglie's voice was extremely firm: "Go, order all 43 cities in the territory to raise food, fodder, supplies, gold and silver for me within one month."

"Make sure to double the amount that Daxia gave to my Restoration Army, and send it to Xianzhen Valley! From now on, I won't owe anyone anything!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar.

"His Majesty!"

"No!"

"Double, is that too much? We also need food and supplies!" Many generals spoke up, feeling extremely painful.

"Shut up!" Wanyan Honglie shouted, gritting his teeth and saying, "This matter cannot be discussed any further. I said to return double, so return double!!"

Everyone looked grim and looked at Wu Zeng. It was obvious that they didn't want to pay double the amount to Daxia. The most they could pay back was the amount they had funded.

But after Wu Zeng's eyes flickered, he took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, I obey your command!"

"We will pay back the money and food, and we won't owe anything! If there is still a shadow of Daxia in Tongcheng by then, we won't have to be tied down. The Jurchens can only be your majesty!"

"How can we allow others to sleep soundly in the place where they lie down?"

Hearing this, many generals also echoed: "How can we allow others to sleep soundly on our bed!!"

The sound was deafening and spread throughout the imperial camp. Wanyan Honglie believed that he was not wrong. His face turned red, and he turned around and left without saying anything.

Immediately afterwards, the speed of the entire Restoration Army's march northward suddenly slowed down, and almost the entire army stopped to rest, while the rear began to collect food, supplies, gold and silver on a large scale.

The Jurchen homeland, which was already in chaos, was turned into a living hell after being dug up like this...

In just fifteen days, this huge amount of resources, including food, supplies, gold, silver, timber, iron ore, and war horses, was gathered by the Restoration Army.

The convoy stretched for dozens of miles and was so densely packed that there were as many as 10,000 escorting troops alone!

When the convoy arrived outside the Xianzhen Valley, the entire army was shocked and came out to watch, exclaiming in surprise.

"How is this going?"

"The gold and silver supplies sent by the Restoration Army are too much. Where did they get so much money? Didn't they ask Your Majesty to borrow bows and arrows three months ago?"

"Oh my God, is this to make amends to His Majesty?"

"It's possible. Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with the Restoration Army. Half a month after the imperial edict was issued, the Restoration Army finally responded!

"..."

When Qin Yun heard the news, he walked out with his trusted aides, and the armies on both sides dispersed.

"Your Majesty, look! These are the various resources that the Restoration Army has just delivered. They are at least twice the total amount we have provided to the Restoration Army!"

"The Restoration Army is too rich. Seeing this, I want to go to the Jurchen battlefield to make some money." A general said excitedly, his eyes shining.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yun's face was as black as coal, and he didn't seem happy at all. He shouted loudly, "Bullshit! Everyone, get off the carriage, don't move a hair!!"
