Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"Your humble servant is willing to submit to the Great Liang and pay tribute every year."

Although Li Qiande was defeated by the Song Dynasty in his early years,

However, they did not submit to the emperor.

The Song Dynasty's main military forces were stationed in the Liao and Western Xia states.

They also lacked the resources to deal with the Viet Ly Dynasty.

Therefore, they simply let the Vietnamese Ly Dynasty do as it pleased.

The Vietnamese Ly Dynasty not only refused to submit to the Song Dynasty,

They also frequently sent troops to invade Champa, which had submitted to the Song Dynasty.

Unfortunately, Champa submitted to the Song Dynasty.

Even the Song Dynasty could not protect its vassal states.

On the contrary, it was the Viet Ly Dynasty that invaded the Song Dynasty back then.

The Song Dynasty requested that Champa and Zhenla send troops to assist them.

Both countries have sent troops to fight.

Finally, the Song Dynasty and the Ly Dynasty of Vietnam reached a peace agreement.

They simply withdrew their troops.

Later, the Vietnamese Ly Dynasty launched a military campaign to retaliate against Champa and Zhenla.

The Song Dynasty, however, ignored the matter.

However, circumstances are beyond our control.

The main force of the Vietnamese Ly Dynasty has now suffered heavy losses.

He was also captured.

If he and none of his soldiers are able to return...

There is no need for the Great Liang to send troops.

Both Champa and Zhenla were able to defeat the Viet Ly Dynasty so decisively that they were powerless to retaliate.

Moreover, the domestic situation has always been unstable.

Submit to the Great Liang

Every year, they would offer tribute of ivory, rhinoceros horn, gold, and silver.

It was worth it to give the Vietnamese Ly Dynasty a chance to recuperate and rebuild.

Zhao Yuan glanced at the seemingly humble Li Qiande,

He snorted coldly.

"Did the Song officials order you to plunder Guangxi?"

"You led your troops to burn, kill, and loot in Guangxi, and your crimes are unforgivable."

"Men, bring this to me after the execution."

"Yes."

Li Qiande was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and kowtowed, saying...

"King Liang, spare my life!"

"I still have a use for you,"

"I can have people sent back all the Han Chinese who were captured and brought back to the country."

Chapter 1811 Is this all the Emperor of Great Yue is?

Shi Yong had already led his men to lift Li Qiande up.

Seeing that the King of Liang did not speak,

This led to Li Qiande being dragged away.

Soon,

He then returned with Li Qiande's head.

The barbarians from the Thirty-Six Caves were just in time to witness Shi Yong killing Li Qiande.

Seeing that the emperor of the Vietnamese Ly Dynasty had been killed...

They were so frightened that they trembled all over.

Arriving in front of Zhao Yuan,

They all lay down on the ground.

They prostrated themselves and begged for mercy.

Zhao Yuan glanced coldly at the barbarians of the Thirty-Six Caves.

To Hua Rongdao,

"All the Yue generals wearing armor have been killed."

"The rest will all be branded as slaves,"

"Send it to the rear."

The men from the Thirty-Six Caves heard the King of Liang's cold-blooded command.

He was so frightened that he lay on the ground.

I didn't even dare to raise my head.

Zhao Yuan looked at the barbarian lying on the ground and shouted,

"You were originally subjects of the Central Plains,"

"But they followed the Viet Ly Dynasty in plundering Guangxi,"

"What is the punishment for killing my people?"

"King Liang, spare my life!"

"King Liang, spare my life!"

……

The people from the Thirty-Six Caves immediately began to cry out.

"The Ly Dynasty of Vietnam has invaded our borders,"

"I will lead my troops to wipe out the Viet Ly Dynasty,"

"The Yue people were reduced to slaves."

The people from the thirty-six caves heard that the Yue people had met such a fate.

He wept bitterly and begged repeatedly.

"However, you are, after all, subjects of my Central Plains,"

"We cannot deny you a chance to reform."

"Thank you, King Liang, for your grace. Thank you, King Liang, for your grace."

"Thank you, King Liang, for your grace. Thank you, King Liang, for your grace."

……

The people of the Thirty-Six Caves heard that there was still a way to survive.

He prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly in gratitude.

The generals listened quietly as King Liang dealt with the people of the thirty-six villages.

Only Li Kui's expression changed drastically when he heard that Zhao Yuan seemed to be planning to release the people of the Thirty-Six Caves.

You should open your mouth and speak.

Zhao Yuan glanced at Li Kui.

"However, your sins cannot be easily forgiven,"

"I want to see 3,600 heads in half an hour,"

“Each village has one hundred people, including the village chief.”

"The remaining Dongmen will follow me into the Viet Ly Dynasty,"

"Captured a strong Yue man,"

"Or kill three Yue people,"

Only then can one atone for their sins.

“All Han people in Dongzhong and all the looted property must be returned,”

"I will send someone to investigate,"

"If you harbor a Han Chinese,"

“I will kill ten of your clansmen.”

"You can also choose to fight,"

“If we are defeated, I will raze your stronghold to the ground,”

"I will make you slaves for eternity."

"Alright, you can go back and discuss it."

"Half an hour later, if I haven't seen three thousand six hundred heads,"

"The battle is about to begin."

Some chieftains, upon hearing that their heads would be included,

He started pleading again.

Li Kui, unable to contain himself any longer, roared,

"Anyone who doesn't leave now will get a taste of my axe."

Zhao Yuan also signaled to Shi Yong to send the people away.

The people of the thirty-six villages left weeping and wailing.

Li Kui asked, "Why does the King of Liang keep these barbarians around?"

"They were all as skinny as monkeys,"

"One of our Liang soldiers can take on five of them."

"In my opinion, it would be better to kill them all quickly."

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "We will demote the Yue people to a slave race."

"It will surely provoke the Yue people to fight to the death,"

"Let them go and kill the Yue people,"

"It can also reduce our casualties."

"Moreover, the southern jungle is teeming with snakes and insects,"

"We've traveled all the way here by official roads,"

"Once they entered the Viet Ly Dynasty,"

"The Yue people had no choice but to flee into the jungle."

"If we send our soldiers to pursue them,"

"I'm afraid the casualties will be huge."

"These barbarians grew up in the mountains and forests,"
