Li Chengyuan said a few more opening remarks and then went to the main seat.
He looked at Xiang Yu, who was pretending to be a guard, and said,""Get the dishes served! Let the banquet begin!"
The banquet began.
Everyone in the hall was filled with anticipation again.
It was said that the Great Zhou had white salt, white sugar, and other seasonings. The food they made tasted better. Even the inns at the border were already monopolized by the Great Zhou.
As rulers, they had never eaten the rumored delicacies.
Now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to savor it.
But in the next moment, their expressions changed drastically.
They saw that the people who walked in from outside the hall were not the maids who were carrying delicious food as they had imagined. Instead, they were guards with swords.
Lun Zan and Nongnang were stunned on the spot.
He had never thought that Li Chengyuan would set up a trap!
"Damn it! Li Chengyuan! You're lying!"
"Hongmen Banquet!"
"Li Chengyuan, you dare?"
Some people were frightened and began to bluff.
"What else?" Li Chengyuan smiled faintly. Could it be that someone really thinks that I will make the technology public? You guys are really naive!"
Everyone was speechless.
Thinking about it now, they were really too naive! Or rather, he was blinded by greed!
He actually believed Li Chengyuan's nonsense and came to the Great Zhou banquet without understanding anything.
"We have so many countries. Do you dare to declare war on the entire Western Region?”
At this moment, Lun Zan Nongnang shouted. He was hinting to the surrounding Rulers.
The other rulers were not fools. They echoed in agreement.
"Yes! Our Su Pi is several times stronger than your Great Zhou! If you dare to make a move! My soldiers will definitely slaughter your Great Zhou!”
"You, a stray dog who escaped from the Great Tang, actually tried to unify the Western Regions! The people of the Western Regions will not agree!"
"I have brought my guards with me. If anything happens to me, Zhangzhung Kingdom will declare war on you!”
“....”
Everyone's denouncement gave Lun Zan Nongnang some confidence. He shouted,"Li Chengyuan! We didn't reject you entering the Western Regions, so you should obediently obey the rule of the Western Regions!”
"Hahaha!"
Li Chengyuan laughed loudly.
He turned around and said coldly,"You bunch of pigs, don't you recognize the current situation?" Are you trying to convince me with your words?"
“...”
The hall fell silent.
As soon as Li Chengyuan finished speaking, the surrounding guards drew their long knives and surrounded them. The sharpness reflected from the long knives was extremely dazzling.
For a moment, no one dared to stand out!
"Now!" Li Chengyuan immediately said. I'll give you a choice!"
Everyone looked at Li Chengyuan.
Li Chengyuan shouted.
"First place! Submit to the Great Zhou! Write a letter back to the country immediately! I will give you a throne!"
"Second! That is to die here and wait for me to conquer your country!”
No one answered.
The Rulers looked at each other and felt that it was a little ridiculous.
Even if they died, Li Chengyuan could not really conquer the Western Regions. Where did his confidence come from?
On the other hand, Lun Zan Nongnang felt that this was his chance. He stood up and walked forward, speaking with confidence.
"Li Chengyuan! I see that you have some courage. Why don't you cooperate with me and capture the Western Regions in one fell swoop? When I become emperor, I'll give you a throne.”
“...”
After Lun Zan and Nongnang finished speaking, the hall became noisy.
The other monarchs of the Western Regions would never have thought that this Lun Zan Nongnang, who had just called for everyone to join forces, would betray them again.
This person was really ambitious!
Li Chengyuan looked at Lunzan Nongnang and knew that he was the Khan of Tubo and the future ruler of the Western Regions.
He definitely could not let this person live.
Moreover, his initial plan was to use the final value of these people and then kill them all.
Therefore, there was no cooperation at all.
Li Chengyuan's eyes flashed with killing intent as he said in a muffled voice,""Kill him!"
Lun Zan Nongnang panicked when he heard this. He really didn't expect Li Chengyuan to make a move just like that.
He did not have the chance to think about it because in the next moment, he only saw a cold light flash past, and then he saw a headless corpse spurting blood and falling into a pool of blood.
Thump!
His head fell to the ground!
The hall fell into a deathly silence.
No one expected that Li Chengyuan would really make a move!
Moreover, he did not kill the king of a small country, but the Khan of Tubo!
"He's crazy!"
"No, I'm not. No, no, no. No, don't kill me! I surrender! I surrender!"
"It's over! It was over! It's over!"
For a moment, some of the cowardly monarchs of the small countries panicked. They pointed at themselves and wanted to surrender.
Even if Li Chengyuan could not defeat the entire Western Region, if they did not submit now, they would die!
No one wanted to die, especially the kings.
As soon as they surrendered, Li Chengyuan got someone to bring them pen and paper.
Li Chengyuan clapped his hands, and countless delicacies were served in front of them.
The rulers who had submitted all revealed smiles as if they had just survived a disaster. They began to enjoy the delicacies in peace, as if they had completely forgotten about Li Chengyuan's threat.
When Li Chengyuan saw this, he laughed disdainfully in his heart. Enjoy your farewell meal!
He then looked at the other hesitant people and said,""Surrender! Or die!"
All of a sudden, the Rulers made a decision!
Because no one wanted to die.
The countries of the Western Regions, which had just been on the same rope, had fallen apart!
The rulers of the other great countries, such as Khan Supi, King Zhangzhung, or even Dangxiang Khan, all had complicated expressions. They were in a difficult situation now!
If they didn't submit, they could only die!
Or could they pretend to surrender and then attack the Great Zhou?
The three of them looked at each other and made a decision.
"We will also submit to the Great Zhou!"
