After the complete destruction of the Wa Kingdom, Li Wanjun decided to leave behind a portion of the navy to work with the civil officials sent by the imperial court to jointly establish a new local governance system. Meanwhile, our powerful army followed the established route back to the Goryeo Peninsula, setting its sights on conquering the last remaining regime there—Silla.

The army marched towards the Korean Peninsula in a mighty procession. The Lin sisters rode on their tall horses, looking heroic and valiant. They gazed at the peninsula in the distance, their eyes revealing determination.

As soon as the army set foot on the Korean Peninsula, Silla felt tremendous pressure. Although Silla fought desperately and dispatched all its elite soldiers, how could it defeat our highly motivated and battle-hardened army?

Wherever the army marched, they were unstoppable. The Lin sisters led the charge, charging into the enemy lines. Their martial arts were exceptional, and wherever their swords struck, the enemy fell.

The people of Silla, seeing the strict discipline of the Great Zhou army and not as brutal as rumored, gradually began to want to surrender. The generals of Silla still tried to hold on by relying on the terrain, but as our side continued to adjust its strategy, the encirclement gradually took shape.

Faced with internal and external pressures, the king of Silla ultimately surrendered. The army successfully conquered the Goryeo Peninsula, and the Great Zhou Dynasty expanded its territory once again. Standing on this newly acquired land, Li Wanjun gazed into the distance, aware that the Great Zhou Dynasty now bore a heavier responsibility, and that even more challenges awaited them.

However, what no one could have anticipated was that during this fierce battle, something extremely bizarre and unprecedented occurred. Until now, the Lin family sisters, whose cultivation had reached the Celestial Realm and above, had always relied on their unparalleled strength to unleash the astonishing and unparalleled power of Celestial Realm sword energy at will. But at this moment, these usually awe-inspiring sisters seemed to be tightly bound by an invisible and mysterious force, unable to unleash their terrifying sword energy on the ordinary soldiers and civilians.

This sudden situation left everyone in shock and bewilderment. Everyone looked at each other, speculating on what could have caused this bizarre phenomenon. Just as everyone racked their brains and couldn't figure it out, I, who had been struggling with my thoughts, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. It was like a revelation, and I suddenly understood the reason.

It turns out that for nations like Japan, whose crimes are numerous and profound, and whose repeated unforgivable offenses have earned the world's hatred, Heaven has bestowed upon the Celestial Realm experts a special inherited power. This power empowers them to inflict severe punishment on those guilty of heinous crimes, even allowing them to unscrupulously slaughter ordinary citizens in a bloody and brutal massacre when necessary. Because the actions of these Japanese are truly unforgivable, they have completely lost their basic conscience and moral bottom line.

But looking back at Silla, the situation was quite different. This nation rarely initiated foreign aggression, and its crimes were far less severe than those of other nations. Perhaps it was for this reason that the mysterious power prevented the Lin sisters from unleashing their celestial realm sword energy against the common people of Silla, thus preventing unnecessary slaughter and destruction. After all, while war may be brutal and ruthless, victory need not necessarily come at the cost of innocent lives. It was for this reason that the powerful inherited power restrained celestial realm masters from ruthlessly slaughtering ordinary civilians.

In this case, after careful consideration, we have decided to appoint Liu Mei as the temporary commander-in-chief, with full authority to command the army's deployment and launch a fierce offensive against Silla from the front.

Liu Mei once again demonstrated her excellent command ability, quickly commanding the generals below the Earth Realm to lead troops into battle. Soon, she captured many cities and lands of Silla, and finally successfully destroyed the Silla Kingdom.

Destroyed Silla

In the first year of the Zongzhang reign of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor wanted to conquer Silla, so he appointed Liu Mei as the commander-in-chief and Xiao Mingyue as the military supervisor, commanding 300,000 troops to advance by land and sea, heading straight for Silla.

Liu Mei, a female general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was only thirteen years old, beautiful as a flower, yet possessed the courage of a thousand men. Familiar with military texts and tactics since childhood, she had accompanied her father on numerous expeditions, achieving numerous military exploits. This time, Liu Mei was determined to win, aiming to establish her reputation through military exploits.

When the army reached Baekje, Liu Mei made a plan and said, "Baekje and Silla have always had a feud. We can first send envoys to them to form an alliance and attack Silla together." Xiao Mingyue agreed and sent envoys to Baekje. The king of Baekje was very happy and then formed an alliance with the Great Zhou.

Liu Mei added, "Silla is a small country with weak people and cannot withstand a single blow. We can divide our troops into three routes. One route is to attack by land, one route is to attack by water, and one route goes around to the rear of Silla to cut off its food supply. In this way, Silla can be defeated." Xiao Mingyue agreed with the plan and divided his troops into three routes to attack Silla.

Upon hearing that the Zhou army had arrived, the King of Silla was horrified and hurriedly sent envoys to the Zhou camp to seek peace. Liu Mei replied, "Silla has repeatedly invaded our borders and killed our people. Their crimes are unforgivable. Now that our army has arrived, how can we even ask for peace?" She then executed the envoy and ordered an attack.

The Great Zhou army advanced with unstoppable force, capturing several Silla cities in quick succession. Seeing the situation hopeless, the Silla king led his officials in surrender. Thus, Silla was destroyed, and the Great Zhou's territory expanded significantly.

When Empress Liu Qian heard the victory news from the front, her beautiful and majestic face instantly blossomed into an ecstatic smile. This news of victory was like a spring breeze, blowing away the haze and worries that had been lingering in her heart for many days.

To honor her ministers for their outstanding contributions, the empress promptly issued an imperial decree conferring the title of Prince of Lelang County on Xiao Mingyue. This decree astonished the entire court. After all, Xiao Mingyue possessed not only exceptional wisdom and courage, but also held the dual positions of military supervisor and censor, making her a truly rare and capable official. Her title of Prince of Lelang County meant she was now eligible to inherit the throne, further elevating her status and adding to her prestige.

Meanwhile, Liu Mei, also renowned for her remarkable achievements on the battlefield, had also won the Empress's favor. The Empress generously rewarded her, bestowing upon her the title of Princess Pingyang. For a time, the court was filled with congratulations and praise for these two heroic women. From then on, Xiao Mingyue and Liu Mei's fame spread far and wide, becoming role models for women everywhere. The exalted status and unparalleled honor they enjoyed were truly enviable.

As this shocking news spread with lightning speed, the name "Liu Mei" shone brightly in everyone's heart like the brightest star in the night sky. In the streets and alleys, people spread the story of Liu Mei's astonishing and heroic deeds. Everyone praised her unanimously: this extraordinary woman not only possessed peerless martial arts skills, able to move freely amidst the flash of swords and spears, but also possessed an intelligence beyond common imagination and tremendous courage without fear.

The thrilling and legendary stories she had lived through became a hot topic of conversation for the people of that era. Suddenly, legends and tales about Liu Mei spread like wildfire. From the most talented and accomplished scholars to the common folk, all held Liu Mei in deep respect and admiration.
