The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

Prince Yong's announcement of surrender signifies the disintegration of the four-nation alliance and the failure of their joint attack on the Great Zhou.

"Emperor Yan, look at your 800,000-strong allied army, it's nothing special." Song Siyao mocked Emperor Yan.

The Emperor of Yan was furious. He glared at Prince An, Prince Ming, and Prince Yong, and roared, "You have broken your promises and betrayed your principles. Aren't you afraid of being condemned by the world?"

The three men lowered their heads and dared not speak.

They were afraid of angering the Yan Emperor, after all, it would be easy for him to defeat them.

“You four can resolve your own issues later. Now, come and settle our matter.” Song Siyao looked at Emperor Yan. “Your Majesty, you now have two paths before you: surrender or die.”

"Song Siyao, I am the Emperor of Yan, the overlord of the Nine Provinces. Do you know what the consequences would be if I were killed?" Even though he was bound, the Emperor of Yan still exuded an imperial aura, domineering and majestic.

"The consequence is that you will no longer exist in the Nine Provinces." Song Siyao said lightly.

"You!" Emperor Yan intended to threaten Song Siyao, but Song Siyao didn't take him seriously at all.

Song Siyao's expression was cold. "No matter what your status was before, now you are just a prisoner. As an aggressor and a defeated one, you have no right to negotiate with me."

“Princess Youfeng, release my father, and I will become your prisoner,” Wen Yuan said.

Song Siyao retorted sarcastically, "You were a prisoner to begin with."

Wen Yuan was speechless.

"Emperor Yan, my patience is limited," Song Siyao warned coldly, then looked at Wen Yu, "Go and capture ten Yan soldiers."

"Yes, Master." Wen Yu moved quickly. In a few moments, he grabbed ten Yan soldiers and made them kneel in front of Song Siyao. "Master, the men have been brought."

"Start counting. Every ten counts, kill one person. Once you've killed them all, start catching more again," Song Siyao said ruthlessly.

"Yes, Master." Wen Yu began counting, "One."

"two."

……

"ten."

As soon as the count was up, Wen Yu raised his sword and killed a Yan soldier.

"Song Siyao!" The Yan Emperor roared in fury, "Have you gone mad?"

“Listen to the rain, and count the raindrops.” Song Siyao did not answer the Yan Emperor.

"one."

"two."

……

"ten."

Wen Yu counted to ten, then with a swift stroke of his sword, another Yan soldier fell to the ground.

"Song Siyao!!" The Yan Emperor gritted his teeth, trembling with rage.

"Wen Yu, continue," Song Siyao instructed.

"one!"

"Yan surrenders!" Emperor Yan shouted. He could not stand by and watch his soldiers be killed before his eyes, otherwise no one would ever submit to him again.

"If only you had done this earlier, nothing would have happened. Why did you have to keep insisting on doing it until you were faced with the consequences?" Song Siyao glanced at Wen Yu, who then released the remaining Yan soldiers.

Then, she instructed Jiang Hexia, "Lieutenant Jiang, invite Emperor Yan and the princes back for tea."

"Yes, princess."

Jiang Hexia led her men to bring the Yan Emperor, the Chu King, the Ming King, the An King, and the Yong King back to Jinfeng City.

Ting Han and his men continued to guard the four-nation coalition.

Jinfeng City.

Song Siyao stepped into the room and saw that Emperor Yan and the others were already sitting at the table.

"Gentlemen, you lost the battle at Luoxia Plain. I have an agreement here. After you sign it, you can go back." Song Siyao sat down, and Hong Shao handed them the agreement. The agreements of the four countries were different.

The Yan Emperor was furious after reading it. "Song Siyao, don't push your luck!"

"You're not convinced? Then let's continue fighting?" Song Si raised an eyebrow, exuding an air of authority and dominance.

The arrogance emanating from the Yan Emperor instantly diminished by half.

“Princess Youfeng, if I sign this agreement, can I leave?” Prince Yong asked.

“Of course,” Song Siyao said. “Once the agreement in your hands is signed, I will announce it to the world. Everyone, think it through before making a decision. If you can’t make the decision, you can send a message to ask your emperor.”

"What will happen if we don't sign?" Prince An asked.

"Keep fighting until you're willing to sign," Song Siyao said coldly.

“These treaties are so unequal, how is this any different from bullying?” King Ming said with a look of dissatisfaction.

Song Siyao's gaze was like a knife, fixed on Ming Wang as if he wanted to skin him alive. "Ming Wang still doesn't understand his place. You invaded the Great Zhou first, and now you're talking to me about equality?"

The King's face turned ugly.

"I'll sign," said Prince Yong. Fighting could no longer continue; the strength of the Wu kingdom could not withstand further depletion.

He quickly signed it and handed it to Song Siyao.

When Song Siyao took it, she saw that only the imperial seal of the Wu Kingdom emperor was missing.

“Prince Yong, your troops can go back, but you must stay here. Take the agreement to your emperor to affix his imperial seal, then bring it back to me, and you can leave.”

“Yes,” Prince Yong agreed.

Song Siyao instructed Hongshao, "Take Prince Yong away."

"Yes." Hongshao led Prince Yong away.

Song Siyao looked at Prince Ming and Prince An, "Have you two thought this through?"

“I will sign,” said Prince An.

Seeing that Prince An had signed, Prince Ming also relented, saying, "I will sign as well."

The states of Chen and Shu were not as powerful as those of Wu, and since Prince Yong had signed, they had no reason not to.

Song Siyao looked at the Yan Emperor, who spoke up, "Princess Youfeng, the agreement stipulates that the Yan Kingdom must compensate the Zhou Dynasty with one million taels of gold. Isn't that too much?"

"Do you want to go see what Jinfeng City looks like after it's been destroyed?" Song Siyao asked coldly.

"What does the destruction of Jinfeng City have to do with me?" Emperor Yan retorted.

“You started this war, and you will be responsible for all the losses suffered by my Great Zhou.” Song Siyao said coldly.

“One million taels of gold is enough, but what is the purpose of these horses, cattle, sheep, and cloth?” Emperor Yan asked.

“Compensation,” Song Siyao said.

"What compensation?"

"I'll tell you after your Yan Kingdom defeats the Great Zhou."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Yan was so angry that his beard trembled.

As the overlord of the Nine Provinces, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

In addition to these tangible compensations, there is also the agreement that both sides will maintain peace and non-aggression for a hundred years.

The Emperor of Yan was naturally unwilling.

"Guards, take Emperor Yan and the King of Chu away. They will only be given food and water when they come to their senses," Song Siyao ordered.

Three days later.

A soldier came to report that the Emperor of Yan had come to his senses.

Everything was under Song Siyao's control. She knew that the Yan Emperor would submit; it was only a matter of time.

One month later.

Song Siyao obtained all the agreements, and the four-nation alliance withdrew its troops and exited the border.

The reconstruction of Jinfeng City was completed, and Song Siyao led his troops back to the capital in triumph.

Early March.

The main force arrived in the capital.

Emperor Changlong, accompanied by his civil and military officials, personally greeted them at the city gate.

"Your subject, Youfeng, pays respects to Your Majesty."

"My son, I pay my respects to my father."

"Your subject, Jiang Hexia, pays her respects to Your Majesty."

Song Siyao, Shen Pei, and Jiang Hexia, along with their soldiers, paid their respects to Emperor Changlong.

The shouts were deafening, echoing through the heavens.

Emperor Changlong was moved to tears. This victory of the Great Zhou would be an eternal glory in the annals of the Great Zhou.

Song Siyao led 100,000 troops, Wei Dingguo led 100,000 troops, and Shen Pei led 100,000 troops.

In the Battle of Luoxia Plain, the Great Zhou army numbered less than 300,000, while the four-nation allied forces numbered 800,000. The Great Zhou killed 700,000 enemy soldiers and won a great victory.
