Chapter 337 I've been a Sui Dynasty person for a long time
"That old geezer, he's always dreaming."
Yuwen Chenglong drew his iron spear, the tip of which was still dripping with blood.
He casually tossed the body back to the vanguard general beside him, not even bothering to glance at the king's corpse again.
Still seeking reconciliation?
Go dream!
Let's see if he doesn't wipe out the entire Hami Kingdom and show them what happens when you offend the Great Sui.
"Your Highness, this small country doesn't have many people. It's not satisfying to kill them all. Shall we move on to the next one?"
Pei Yuanqing's silver hammer was stained with blood. He shook the hammerhead, his face full of unfinished business.
Yuwen Chenglong was especially arrogant, rushing to the front and killing the fastest, giving him no chance at all; he didn't even get a sip of soup.
"Continue, next one."
Lü Xiao nodded, turned his horse around, and began searching for the next country.
As Pei Yuanqing said, although there were many small kingdoms in the Western Regions, their populations were too small.
Some countries have only one or two thousand people, and that can be called a small country, not even as big as a village in the Sui Dynasty.
Like this Hami Kingdom, which has developed well in recent years, with a population of nearly 20,000, it is already considered a large country in the Western Regions.
Now that the Sui army has attacked, even the king has to fight to meet them.
In the time that followed, Lü Xiao led his troops in battle after battle.
Working tirelessly, day and night.
Wherever it went, not a blade of grass grew, and not a chicken or a dog remained.
They even swept through four countries in a single day.
He conquers one country in the morning, another at noon, another in the afternoon, and yet another in the evening—more frequently than he eats meals.
Although it sounds intimidating, like destroying four countries in one day, it would scare people to death if the news got out.
In reality, they were sweeping through small countries, tiny territories.
To be honest, it wasn't even as big as a county in the Sui Dynasty, and some of them didn't even have a decent city wall.
But in any case, a small country is still a country, and the destruction of a country is the destruction of a country, even if it sounds good to others.
On this day, the army was on its way when it was blocked by a troop of soldiers.
"Your Highness, shall we rinse or not?"
Pei Yuanqing gripped the silver hammer tightly, his eyes gleaming red, as if a wolf had spotted a flock of sheep and wanted nothing more than to rush forward and wreak havoc.
They've been on a killing spree these past few days, attacking anyone they see and assaulting any city they encounter, they just can't stop.
"It has to happen! It absolutely has to happen!"
Yuwen Chenglong's eyes were also gleaming, his silver spear in hand, eager to try.
"Everyone's rushing, I want to rush too!"
They were civil officials responsible for recording military marches and campaigns.
The usually frail scholar, who only ever held a pen, drew his sword from his waist, his face full of excitement, wishing he could rush up and chop a few people down as well.
These days, following Lü Xiao, we kill enemies and destroy countries every day.
He was also infected and felt like a fierce general.
"They're carrying a Sui Dynasty flag. Tell them to come over and see where they're from."
Lü Xiao, on the other hand, was much calmer. He squinted at the flag in the distance, a large Sui Dynasty flag fluttering in the wind.
He's not like those guys, who rush in and chop at anyone they see.
We still need to find out the details before taking action, lest we kill the wrong person.
Before long, one of the enemy riders arrived at the front of the formation.
This man was carrying a Sui Dynasty flag, but he wasn't wearing any armor; he was just dressed in plain clothes.
He was wearing a felt hat and looked like a merchant, not a warrior.
"Your Majesty, I have been waiting for you for a long time! I have been eagerly anticipating your arrival!"
The man dismounted, knelt on one knee, and was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes and his voice trembled.
The visitor was named Qu Boya, the king of Gaochang. He had a kind face and a goatee.
His title of king was personally conferred by Yang Guang, and he also married a woman from the Yuwen clan, who was further honored as a princess by Yang Guang.
"It's you! Long time no see. How have you been?"
Lu Xiao recognized the other person immediately upon seeing him.
During the Sui Dynasty, a martial arts tournament was held, attracting envoys from all over the world. Qu Boya and his son went to the tournament together.
After the martial arts competition ended, this person stayed in Dongdu for quite some time, and he had some impression of him.
"Your Highness, I have always supported the Sui Dynasty! Heaven and earth bear witness, the sun and moon are my testimonies!"
Qu Boya raised the Sui flag high and immediately made his stance clear, shouting himself hoarse, as if he wanted to tear his heart out and show it to Lü Xiao.
These days, the Sui Dynasty people are like madmen, killing incessantly in the Western Regions.
One country after another was destroyed, one city after another was slaughtered, and rivers of blood flowed.
He was genuinely afraid that Lü Xiao would arrive in Gaochang with his men and become bloodthirsty.
Kill them all who sided with the Sui Dynasty, and then they won't even have a chance to explain.
Therefore, rather than waiting for Lü Xiao to come in person, it would be better for him to take the initiative to come out and reiterate his position to avoid being mistakenly harmed.
"Really? You look like a bad guy to me?"
Yuwen Chenglong dismounted and circled around Qu Boya, looking him up and down with an unfriendly gaze.
He's been bloodthirsty these days, seeing everyone as an enemy and everyone as someone who owes him eight hundred strings of cash.
"Of course, I have the heart of the Sui Dynasty! More genuine than gold!"
Qu Boya pounded his chest, speaking with unwavering conviction, his face full of sincerity.
If it weren't for the fact that a person without a heart will surely die, he would have loved to show these killing gods what his heart truly was, to let them see if it was truly red.
"You live in the Western Regions and have been here for many years, so you must know about the surrounding countries."
Lead the way, take us to fight those who oppose the Sui Dynasty.
Since a guide was available to deliver the package to his door, Lü Xiao decided to take advantage of it.
If this guy is pretending to lead the way and luring him into the encirclement of Xue Ju and the Western Turks, then it shows that he is a good actor.
"Very well, this humble servant knows perfectly well who is hostile to the Sui Dynasty, who outwardly obeys but inwardly defies it, and who stabs us in the back!"
Qu Boya was overjoyed and almost jumped for joy; this was exactly what he had been waiting for.
As a staunch supporter of the Sui Dynasty, the Kingdom of Gaochang paid tribute and submitted to the Sui Dynasty every year, remaining loyal to the cause.
Since the war between the Western Regions and the Sui Dynasty, the Kingdom of Gaochang has naturally faced a lot of exclusion.
Today they are robbed by this country, tomorrow they are attacked by that country; their lives are miserable.
He had been thinking about revenge for a long time, and dreamed of trampling those who had bullied him under his feet.
Unfortunately, our national strength was not strong enough to defeat them, so we could only swallow our anger.
Who knew that Lü Xiao would bring his men? It was like a godsend, a godsend.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Yuwen Chenglong was extremely excited. He threw the crumpled map in his hand to the person next to him without even looking at it. With a guide, what need was there for a map?
"Kill them! They must be killed! Leave no one alive!"
Qu Boya agreed and immediately began to give directions, pointing out which road was easier to travel and which road had water.
They could talk about which country had a strong military and which country had a weak military, and they did it all with great confidence.
Originally, the Sui army followed the map, but many places did not match up and the route was not accurate, resulting in them taking many detours.
Now, with a guide who is familiar with the terrain and the enemy situation, they can hit the target every time, hitting exactly where they are told.
The army was divided into three forces, fighting on three fronts simultaneously, sweeping across the small kingdoms of the Western Regions.
at the same time.
The messenger also arrived at the Loulan Ancient Road. He was covered in wounds, riding a thin horse, and traveled day and night to inform the Wolf Lord of Hami Kingdom of the news of the massacre.
