This was precisely the best opportunity to destroy the Great West Empire.
Lin Yi knew that this battle had not yet fully broken out, but rather that the Great Liang had initiated the battle before the Great West Empire's army had fully entered Frostwest.
With its powerful intelligence system and terrifying offensive capabilities, it ended the war ahead of schedule.
If the entire army of the Great West Empire were to come to our aid, this battle would likely not be so easy, given that the enemy force would number over three million.
Although the Great Liang have formidable offensive capabilities, it still takes them some time to defeat an enemy several times their size.
Now that the remaining million-strong army of Frostwest has surrendered to the Great West Empire, it means that the Great West Empire's strength has been strengthened. However, the enemy is isolated and helpless, which is the perfect opportunity to eliminate them and completely unify the continent.
Guo Jia nodded and smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, the million-strong army that has entered A Long's command this time is actually just a rabble, temporarily recruited by Ashina Tiandu."
Their addition might slightly strengthen the Great West Empire, but it would also significantly increase their food consumption.
That makes sense!
Everyone nodded in agreement. This meant that a million more people would suddenly have food to feed. It wouldn't be easy for the Great West Empire to feed them all; it would probably take some effort.
The ministers had little affection for the Great West Empire; in fact, they loathed it.
This guy, taking advantage of the fact that the Frostwest Empire is closer to the Great Liang, has been stirring up trouble behind the scenes, even helping Ashina Tiandu to cause problems, which is really disgusting.
So when it came to destroying it, everyone immediately became very energetic.
" Abaddon has been causing trouble behind the scenes. This time, we'll make him pay a heavy price, or he'll really think that we, the Great Liang, are pushovers!"
" Frostwest has been destroyed. It would be rather lonely for him to be left alone, so let's send them all to hell together."
Forehead!
Hearing their words, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh and cry. Sure enough, it wasn't just him who hated Abaddon; everyone hated him.
However, this matter can be left to my father; there's no need to worry about it too much.
At this moment, he thought of the Black Dragon Banner, and handed the design to Li Si directly, saying in a deep voice, "This is a brand new flag; use it to replace the national flag."
"Change the national flag?"
Everyone was taken aback; they actually wanted to change the national flag? What was going on?
They couldn't help but glance at the blueprints in Li Si's hand, and their hearts skipped a beat. What was going on? Was the Great Liang Dynasty about to turn to the dark side?
However, Lin Yi didn't explain it to them. After all, if he said that the Black Dragon Banner had attribute bonuses, probably no one would believe it, since this thing was somewhat mysterious.
"Get this matter settled as soon as possible. Also, continue to investigate the situation in the Xinma Empire to facilitate future cooperation," Lin Yi instructed directly.
After arranging these matters, Lin Yi dismissed the court and headed straight for the inner palace.
Now that the Frostwest Empire has been destroyed, it's natural to tell Anne about the situation. After all, they were husband and wife, and it's better to tell her after destroying her country, and maybe even comfort her while we're at it.
The moment Anne saw Lin Yi, she instantly understood. She sighed, "Your Majesty, has there been news from the Frostwest Empire?"
According to the date, this isn't my own signboard, and it's broad daylight, so the Emperor's arrival must have something else on his mind.
As for matters concerning himself, they undoubtedly pertain to the Frostwest Empire.
"Clever, truly worthy of being my woman!"
Hearing his words, a wry smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. She really was a clever woman.
He didn't hide anything, sighing, "News from the front lines says the Frostwest Empire has been completely defeated, Ashina Tiandu has been handed over to the Great Liang by Ashley! The last million people have surrendered to the Great West Empire and have now retreated Great West Empire."
"That bastard was offered up to the Great Liang by Ashley?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Anne's eyes flashed with mockery. She'd thought this guy was something special, but it turned out he was nothing special after all.
She sneered, "He rebelled and killed my father, and now he's been betrayed by his own men. What a fitting end!"
She didn't hate Ashina Tiandu, but even if you rebelled, you shouldn't have killed the Emperor.
Ashina Tiandu; how could he possibly have any familial affection in his heart? He would probably kill me if I were in his presence.
Therefore, she felt only hatred towards this brother.
Now he has finally received his retribution. He rebelled and ascended the throne, but now his own subordinates have rebelled and handed him over to the Great Liang. This is perhaps the greatest irony.
Lin Yi didn't say anything, just held her quietly.
Suddenly, a tear fell into her hand. Looking up, she saw Anne with teary eyes; she was indeed still very sad.
"Your Majesty, will the Frostwest Empire cease to exist?"
"Good!"
Lin Yi nodded, showing no intention of lying to her, and said in a deep voice, "The destruction of Frostwest is inevitable. The specific name hasn't been decided yet. Why don't you choose one, my beloved consort?"
"Your Majesty should decide!"
Anne shook her head at the question, directly declining the offer.
While the idea is good, it's not something I should be doing. If I were to actually name it, I'm afraid other people would have objections.
Lin Yi didn't force the issue. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "My beloved concubine's name is Anne, so let's call her Anxi. From now on, there will be no more Frostwest, only Anxi of Great Liang."
Although this name has nothing to do with Great Liang, it's still acceptable. Whether it's related to Anne's name or the meaning of stability, it's all fine.
" Anxi?"
Anne's eyes lit up, and her bright eyes welled up with tears as she looked at her man with delight.
Sometimes a woman's emotions are simple. She saw Lin Yi's tenderness for her in that name, and she couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Your Majesty, I thank you. I really like this name..."
"Oh, my dear concubine, what are you doing? It's still daytime."
"Yamete."
Feeling the heat in his arms, Lin Yi sighed. He had no choice but to risk his life to keep him company today.
By the time the news officially reached Yong'an City, it was already noon the following day.
"Report!"
"Urgent message from the West: Our army has completely occupied the Frostwest Empire, and even Ashina Tiandu Frostwest been captured! We have achieved a major victory!"
"Our army is currently attacking the Great West Empire; our momentum is unstoppable!!!"
When the news spread, everyone was shocked and stunned by this sudden announcement. Who could have imagined that Great Liang had so quickly taken down another major power?
