The downfall of Xi Country was rather dramatic; no one could have predicted their resistance would crumble because of an ironclad warship.
Even Jiang Lu had not anticipated that someone from Xi Country would actually come to buy the ship left behind by Yan Country, which was simply too absurd.
Following that lead, he discovered Luo Chuan's plan to escape by sea, and thereafter, Xi Country was directly annihilated.
At that time, the entire Yong'an City was in chaos, every prominent family had hoarded a great deal of gold, silver, and jewels, just waiting to board the ship and depart, when they were caught red-handed.
With ease, he executed the civilians, opened the granaries, and handed out grain, at least ensuring there were no issues with his reputation.
After the destruction of Xi Country, Zhou Country, which had long been in internal turmoil, had also been frightened into consensus, promptly surrendering.
