Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

What is different from the anxious war situation on the Sakura Country side is that on the Goryeo side.

If on the Sakura Country, Lin Yi wants to make the Sakura Country as chaotic as possible and keep fighting, so he still has reservations, then on the Goryeo side, Lin Yi wants to bring Goryeo into the empire as soon as possible territory.

Therefore, the empire has tried its best to support Zheng Zaixu.

A large amount of supplies were delivered to Zheng Zaixu, and Zheng Zaixu also began to launch waves of attacks on Cui Dongxu.

According to Daxia's predictions, according to the current situation, Cui Dongxu may not be able to hold on for half a year and may be annihilated by Zheng Zaixu.

After confirming that the war in Goryeo would be over within half a year at most, Lin Yi signaled Fang Xiao to start implementing the next step.

He began to send people to contact Li Xi, the King of Goryeo who was already regarded as a puppet.

Su Bai, an ordinary-looking businessman from Daxia.

Of course, the identity of this businessman is just his disguise. His true identity is the head of the secret service station stationed in Gaoli in Daxia.

As early as a few days ago, he had received an order from Fang Xiao to find a way to contact Li Xi and persuade Li Xi to stand up at this time and express his decision to merge Goryeo into Daxia.

Su Bai has been preparing for this for several days.

He didn't think it would be difficult to persuade Li Xi. Judging from the information he got, Li Xi was a person who had no independent opinions, was timid, and was afraid of getting into trouble.

To persuade him to incorporate Goryeo into the empire, all he needed was some threats and benefits.

The only difficult thing is how to see Li Xi.

Ever since Cui Dongxu raised his army and began to compete with Zheng Zaixu for power in Goryeo, he placed Li Xi in Gyeongbokgung Palace. And an infantry brigade was sent to take charge of the security of Gyeongbokgung Palace.

It's called protection, but it's actually prison.

But the strange thing is that Li Xi has no objection to this. Perhaps this is better than the treatment Li Xi received in Sakura Country before.

Since Li Xi can live in an environment like Sakura Country for ten or twenty years, he is not surprised by what Cui Dongxu is doing now.

However, this is not a big challenge for Su Bai.

Finally, Su Bai used money to buy a supplier who delivered food to Gyeongbokgung Palace, and then pretended to be delivering food to Gyeongbokgung Palace, and then entered Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Then, Su Bai finally found Li Xi's palace based on the map he had drawn long ago.

When Li Xi saw Su Bai suddenly sneaking in, he was startled. He thought Su Bai was a killer sent by Zheng Zaixu.

But when Li Xi learned that Su Bai represented Daxia, he calmed down and said that he could talk to Su Bai.

"Mr. Su, I wonder why you ventured into Gyeongbokgung Palace?" Li Xi looked at Su Bai and asked strangely.

"Your Majesty, it's really rude of Su to disturb your Majesty. However, Su came here today because he really has something to ask your Majesty." Su Bai sat opposite Li Xi, looked at Li Xi, and said straightforwardly. asked.

"Mr. Su, please speak." Li Xi looked at Su Bai. He also wanted to know what Su Bai wanted to say to him.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about the future? Have you ever thought about your own way out or Gao Li's way out?" Su Bai looked at Li Xi and asked.

When Li Xi heard Su Bai's words, he was stunned. He thought about various possibilities, but he never thought that Su Bai would ask him this.

"Mr. Su, what do you mean?" Li Xi looked at Su Bai with confusion.

In his understanding, he himself is a pawn.

When he was young, he was the pawn of Concubine Min. When he was middle-aged, he was the pawn of the Sakura people to control Goryeo. And now, isn't he a pawn of the Daxia people? Do these things still need to be considered?

"Your Majesty, you have also seen the current situation in Goryeo. Cui Dongxu and Zheng Zaixu, for their own interests, have now ignited the flames of war throughout Goryeo."

"They are all ambitious people. Does your Majesty think that after they seize control of Goryeo, what will they do to you, Your Majesty, the only person who is still riding on their neck?"

"This..." Li Xi felt nervous when he heard Su Bai's words.

Yes, now Cui Dongxu and Zheng Zaixu are fighting fiercely on the land of Goryeo for their respective power.

If either of them wins, the next target must be him, the King of Goryeo.

Of course, strictly speaking, besides him, the King of Goryeo, there was Daxia. But Li Xi understood very well that even if he gave Cui Dongxu and Zheng Zaixu some courage, they would not dare to show their teeth to Daxia.

However, in this case, their target must be themselves.

Neither of them would let themselves live.

It's not that Li Xi doesn't know the stakes, it's just that he doesn't want to think about it.

After all, she has been a puppet her whole life, and she has long been accustomed to this kind of life.

For him now, he can live one day at a time. If it really comes to the moment of death, he feels that he can also be freed.

But now, Su Bai appeared and pointed this out directly, which gave Li Xi a chance to survive.

After all, who would want to die if they could avoid dying?

Seeing Li Xi's hesitant look, Su Bai knew that his words had hit the mark on what Li Xi was thinking.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, I came here today just to show you a clear path." Su Bai looked at Li Xi and said.

"Huh? Mr. Su, please speak." Li Xi suddenly became energetic after hearing Su Bai's words.

"Your Majesty, the geographical location of Goryeo is very important to Daxia."

"This is related to Daxia's areas outside the customs, and also to the safety of Daxia's capital. Therefore, Daxia has always wanted to control this area in its own hands." Su Bai did not clearly say what Li Xi's way of survival was, but pointed out. Understand the importance of Goryeo's geographical location.

Li Xi was not stupid. When he heard Su Bai say this, he just thought about it for a moment and understood what Su Bai wanted to say.

"Mr. Su, if I annex Goryeo to Daxia, what will I get?" Li Xi looked at Su Bai and asked directly.

"Your Majesty is really quick to talk. Since Your Majesty has asked this question, I will explain it to Your Majesty."

"An annual salary of two million imperial silver dollars, plus the title of hereditary imperial marquis."

"Your Majesty, this is the Marquis of the Empire. The significance of this must be very clear to your Majesty."

When Li Xi heard the conditions proposed by Su Bai, it was impossible to say that he was not moved.

As the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade under a big tree.

The power of Daxia is second to none in the entire East Asia region. Although there were some declines along the way, Daxia has now awakened.

Presumably, Daxia will only become stronger and stronger in the future. The gold content of a hereditary and irreplaceable imperial title is much better than that of the King of Goryeo who can't make any decisions.
