Seven thousand Qin Ruishi, each holding a torch, illuminated the entire city gate of Goryeo's capital. The gate opened slightly, and the Goryeo King, staggering with dishevelled grey-white hair, slowly emerged, followed closely by Goryeo's civil and military officials lining both sides.
Meng Tian's gaze fixed on the Goryeo officials emerging from the city. He dismounted his warhorse, with Xu Chu and Fang Xuanling closely following him a few yards forward.
At this moment, the Goryeo King was no longer a powerful Guiyuan realm expert. Ever since Yuan Tiangang had stripped him of his kingly aura, he had lost all his Yuan force and become an ordinary person. Holding the royal seal inherited by generations of Goryeo Kings with both hands, he approached Meng Tian.
"General Meng, I offer this vast land to the King of Han, and I wish for the King of Han to treat my Goryeo subjects kindly!!"
The Goryeo King's weakened body trembled as he spoke in a low, dispirited voice. He knelt before Meng Tian, tears filling his eyes, and presented the royal seal.
At this moment, he was filled with regret. If only he had taken the Great Han more seriously at the time, if he had been a bit harder-hearted and refused Liao King's plea for help, he would still be the Goryeo King respected by millions, still the one who wielded the power of life and death for a nation.
Alas, alas!
One wrong step led to another. If he had been a little calmer then, like the King of Jin, and refused to send troops, opposing the Great Han, he would not have lost Goryeo's thousand-year foundation, had his kingly aura stripped, and his dragon veins severed. This had utterly extinguished Goryeo's future!
Even if his descendants rose, there would be no possibility of establishing a nation, no destiny to be king!
Meng Tian accepted the Goryeo King's seal and raised it high above his head: "From today onwards, there is no Goryeo in the north!!"
The Goryeo King, kneeling on the ground, trembled violently, tears seeping into the earth.
"Drink!"
"Drink!"
"Drink!"
"Long live the Great Han, long live the King!!"
"Long live the Great Han, long live the King!!"
"Long live the Great Han, long live the King!!"
The voices of the seventy thousand Qin Ruishi thundered like the heavens, echoing through the capital of Goryeo, striking awe into the hearts of its subjects.
"Hahaha!!"
The Goryeo King roared to the sky: "I, Liangde, a humble and incompetent one, have offended Heaven, but it was the Liao King who misled me. I die without face to meet my ancestors."
"The Liao King misled me!!"
"The Liao King misled me!!"
"The Liao King misled me!!"
"Ah!"
The Goryeo King's eyes were bloodshot, his face pale, veins bulging. His voice, filled with sorrow and regret, erupted from his frail body.
*Ching!*
A cold glint flashed at the city gate. The Goryeo King shouted and committed suicide before the gate, following Goryeo to its demise.
The civil and military officials of Goryeo all knelt down, wailing: "We bid farewell to the King of Goryeo!!"
"We bid farewell to the King of Goryeo!!"
"We bid farewell to the King of Goryeo!!"
*Ching~~*
Immediately, dozens of officials followed him to the afterlife!
Meng Tian observed everything: "General Xu Chu!!"
"Your subordinate is here!!"
Xu Chu stood with the Fire Cloud Blade before him.
"Bury him with honours!!"
Meng Tian said in a deep voice.
"We obey your command!!"
Xu Chu received the order and departed. The seventy thousand Qin Ruishi slowly entered the capital of Goryeo, taking the royal palace without bloodshed.
Upon entering the city, Fang Xuanling immediately took charge of administrative affairs, maintaining the normal order of the capital!
On February 10th of the first year of the Great Han calendar, the vast lands of Goryeo fell entirely to the Great Han. Of the three great powers in the north, two had now been conquered. The Kingdom of Jin was filled with unease, and the entire nation was shrouded in a deathly silence, devoid of vitality.
In the royal palace of Chang'an City, Great Han.
Yang Hao, who was resting in his sleeping quarters, was dreaming of holding the world's power in his hands and lounging with beautiful women, drooling heavily. Suddenly, an icy voice echoed in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully conquering Goryeo, gaining sixteen thousand kill points and ten million faith points."
Hmm!
"System, why are the kill points so low?"
How could such a large country only yield sixteen thousand!
"Ding! Meng Tian's army only annihilated two hundred thousand troops at the border. Apart from that, the entire Goryeo was peacefully received!"
"Alright, what a shame. So many kill points just slipped through my fingers. Let's start with an upgrade of my cultivation!"
"Ding! Reminder to the host, the main quest is not yet complete, and the host's cultivation cannot be raised to the Divine Mansion realm!!"
"Damn it, you're suppressing me!!"
"Give me ten Gold Blind Boxes first, dammit!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Empty, Empty, Empty, Thirty thousand Qin Ruishi, Empty, Empty, Fifty thousand Tang Iron Cavalry, and one summoning opportunity!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Ding! All troops under Meng Tian have now been manifested!!"
"Use the summoning opportunity for an Ancient Hero!"
One million faith points. Although there were several blanks, getting one Ancient Hero summon was definitely worth it.
"Ding! Successfully deducted one summoning opportunity!"
"Ding! The system is now summoning!"
At that moment, Daoist sounds filled the air, like the roar of deities. A figure gradually appeared on the body of the Xuanhuang Tower of Reincarnation, bathed in golden light.
*Ching!*
*Bo!*
A five-coloured star river flashed, stars shifting and turning, shining brilliantly!
*Hum~~*
The Xuanhuang Tower of Reincarnation resonated with the Great Dao!
Historical scrolls flipped, seas of stars flowed backward, and banners fluttered fiercely!
*Hum hum!*
The character "Yuan" (元), as large as a bucket, appeared before the eyes.
China's history is long and profound, with countless powerful dynasties successively receiving the Emperor's mandate, dominating the land and suppressing the world!
If one speaks of vast territory and the strongest cavalry, one must mention the Mongol Empire, which spanned the Eurasian continent.
A carved figure on the Xuanhuang Tower of Reincarnation slowly lit up, and a figure stepped forth from the river of history!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning Kökö Temür, with the Han name Wang Baobao!"
My goodness, this was the only general of note from the late Yuan dynasty, a figure who could go head-to-head with Xu Da, Tang He, and Chang Yuchun.
Loyal and brave to the Yuan dynasty throughout his life, even after the capital was captured by the Ming army, he was able to retreat safely to the desert and fought to preserve the Yuan dynasty's empire until his death.
"Check Wang Baobao's data!"
Yang Hao was extremely expectant!
"Name: Kökö Temür"
"Han Name: Wang Baobao"
"Dynasty: Late Yuan and early Ming"
"Cultivation: Divine Mansion Fourth Layer"
"Cultivation Technique: Dark Annihilation Art"
"Attached Troops: Top-tier troops - One hundred thousand Mongol Iron Cavalry!"
Experience: During the late Yuan peasant uprisings, Kökö Temür followed Chaghan Temür in organizing landlord militias to suppress the Red Turban Army.
After Chaghan Temür was assassinated in the twenty-second year of Zhizheng, he took charge independently and became involved in the Yuan court's factional struggles and warlord conflicts. He was once enfeoffed as the King of Henan and Grand Chancellor of the Central Secretariat.
In the twenty-eighth year of Zhizheng, the Ming Dynasty captured the capital. Kökö Temür retreated from Shanxi to Gansu. After being defeated by the Ming army at Shen'er Valley, he fled north to Hami in the thirtieth year of Zhizheng, assisting the Northern Yuan Emperor Zhaozong Ayushiridara, striving to restore the Yuan dynasty's empire.
In the second year of Xuanguang, he routed the Ming army in the northern desert. He was praised by Emperor Taizu of Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang, as an "extraordinary man of the world." He later died at the yamen of Khala-na-hai.
