The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1123

Chapter 1123: Chapter 946, The Fall of the Wei Family

After sending Daohua and Gu Jian back to Ganzhou City, Xiao Yeyang focused entirely on dealing with the war against Xiliao and the matter of Wei Hongcai.

Upon receiving the ceasefire order from the Imperial Family of Xiliao, Yelu Kangda immediately sent people to Xiao Yeyang to sue for peace.

Xiao Yeyang laid out his terms to the envoy: unless Xiliao was willing to submit to Daxia and become a vassal state, there would be no cessation of hostilities.

Hearing these demands, the Xiliao envoy was furious and stormed out of the Daxia military camp.

Yelu Kangda, learning of Xiao Yeyang’s conditions, was also seething with anger: "Xiao Yeyang is simply too presumptuous, to actually fantasize about Xiliao becoming a vassal state to Daxia; why doesn’t he ascend to the heavens then?"

If Xiliao were to become a vassal state, not only would it have to "pay homage and tribute" to Daxia, but it would also have to pay an annual tribute and attend court regularly.

Even though Xiliao would still have autonomous administration, Daxia would not involve itself in Xiliao’s national affairs; however, Xiliao would be restrained by Daxia economically and militarily in every aspect.

This was no different than bowing one’s head in submission!

The generals of Xiliao were also both angry and annoyed, yet they couldn’t help but face the reality: "Crown Prince, if we don’t agree, Daxia will not cease the war."

Yelu Kangda’s face showed signs of defeat, and he began to regret. Perhaps he should not have been provoked by Xiao Yechi to declare war on Daxia rashly.

Now, faced with consecutive defeats to the Daxia army, would his father the king and the ministers in court still regard him highly upon his return to Xiliao?

A general stood up and said: "Crown Prince, we must report Xiao Yeyang’s conditions to His Majesty promptly. Whether we agree or not should be decided by His Majesty and the court ministers."

This reminded Yelu Kangda that he must quickly relay Xiao Yeyang’s conditions back home; he absolutely could not be the one to accept such a humiliating condition. Otherwise, his days as the Crown Prince of Xiliao would be numbered.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yeyang did not cease his attacks on Xiliao—for one, to keep the pressure on Xiliao, and secondly, to train the soldiers’ combat skills.

These matters didn’t require Xiao Yeyang’s personal attention; he delegated them to Cao Dan and a few other generals, freeing up his time to deal with Wei Hongcai.

"The news of Wei Hongcai’s imprisonment hasn’t leaked yet, but the Wei Family should realize something’s amiss soon."

Xiao Yeyang summoned Yan Wenxiu and Dong Yuanxuan. Since he couldn’t leave the military camp for the time being, dealing with the Wei Family was left to Yan and Dong.

Yan Wenxiu shared the information he had gathered: "I’ve learned quite a bit about the Wei Family from Hang Zhong, the Commander of the Xintunwei. The Wei Family has widespread influence in Xiliang, and dealing with them will require a thoughtful plan."

Dong Yuanxuan shook his head: "There’s no time. Once the Wei Family learns of Wei Hongcai’s capture, they will certainly take action. Though Xiliao no longer has significant military strength, if there’s an issue within Xiliang, they will surely counterattack."

"Therefore, we must resolve matters with the Wei Family quickly, ideally catching them off guard."

Yan Wenxiu: "But the Wei Family is an established aristocratic family of Xiliang..."

Xiao Yeyang interrupted: "Under all heavens, all lands belong to the sovereign; along the shores of every domain, all are the sovereign’s subjects. No matter how historic the aristocratic family, if they violate the national law, they must be punished!"

"The Wei Family colluded with Xiliao, joined forces with Xiao Yechi to attack Ganzhou City, accepted pay without service, fabricated false battle reports, and even harbored delusions of ceding Ganzhou Guard to Xiliao."

"These crimes are sufficient to justify the extermination of the Wei Family."

"I have already submitted a memorial to His Majesty; once the imperial decree is issued, I will seize the Wei Family in an instant."

Saying this, he looked towards Yan Wenxiu and Dong Yuanxuan.

"Before the imperial decree arrives, you need to closely monitor the Wei Family, ideally unraveling all their power networks."

Yan Wenxiu and Dong Yuanxuan nodded solemnly.

After discussing how to deal with the Wei Family, news also came from the Imperial Family of Xiliao.
