This is domineering power! The Crown Prince is invincible!
Such a record is truly remarkable, and it can be said that few people can achieve it.
Even General Xu Zhong couldn't help but nod, praising, "Leaving aside the 30,000 new recruits, the 3,000 Formation-Breaking Camp under the Crown Prince's command are truly astonishing. It's said that these 3,000 men fought against Tuoba Yu's most elite troops!"
Even he had to admit that someone who could achieve such a terrifying record was absolutely astounding.
At least his army couldn't have fought with fewer troops and inflicted such a heavy loss on Tuoba Yu. Clearly, Zhang Liao is quite formidable; the Crown Prince has recruited a ruthless individual this time.
Ha ha ha ha!
Seeing Xu Zhong nod, Lin Rusong burst into laughter, saying triumphantly, " Yi'er has truly shown the might of Northern Liang this time! Let's see if Tuoba Wanli dares to be arrogant again. His Great General Divine Eagle has been beaten into a quail by my son!"
If the Northern Liang could possess such a formidable army, its strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, feeling incredibly relieved. The Great General Divine Eagle had been beaten into a pulp; this was truly exhilarating.
"Hahaha, how arrogant Tuoba Yu was back then, conquering more than a dozen cities of my Northern Liang in a single day! Now he's been beaten to a pulp by the Crown Prince. The Northern Barbarians will have to behave themselves much better from now on!"
"It is said that Zhang Liao, one of the prince's subordinates, is extremely skilled. That fellow is impervious to swords and spears, and immune to fire and water. He charged straight at Tuoba Yu with only a sword, and Tuoba Yu was so frightened that he wet himself in fear, which was quite satisfying."
"That's not all. I've heard that the Crown Prince's ' Formation-Breaking Camp' is truly terrifying, with three thousand men fighting against eighty thousand. They're incredibly strong!"
"Tsk tsk, how amazing is the Crown Prince? It's only been a short time, and he's already so powerful. If he were given more time, he could probably even become the emperor!"
Those present were all Lin Rusong's confidants. Hearing that their young master was so capable, they were all overjoyed. They felt that the Northern Liang of Beiliang had a worthy successor, and they dared to say anything to praise their young master.
Lin Rusong, smug and triumphant, laughed, "That Tuoba Yu really courted death. He thought my son was easy to bully, but he suffered a great loss this time. Now that he's gone to Li Sansi, it's actually a good thing. I've disliked that guy for a long time!"
"Your Highness, according to the news, the Northern Barbarians have attacked Great Ning Mountain and River Pass, apparently deploying an army of 200,000 men. They're coming on strong." Wang Ziwen hesitated for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.
snort!
Upon hearing the mention of Great Ning, everyone's expressions immediately soured. Great Ning was extremely harsh towards Northern Liang, making life difficult for the Northern Liang Army as well.
Now that they have encountered a great calamity, they actually feel a sense of schadenfreude.
Only Xu Zhong remained expressionless, coldly sneering, "Faced with such a predicament, Great Ning will surely seek out the Prince, urging us, Northern Liang Northern Barbarians, to advance into the Northern Barbarians and put pressure on them."
This is not a good thing; it means that Northern Liang will have to work for Great Ning again.
this...
These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the crowd; this was definitely not a good thing.
"Damn it, when they don't need us, they'd rather fire us all, but when they do need us, they come crawling to us like madmen. It's unbearable."
"Who says otherwise? This is fucking outrageous!"
"Since the Crown Prince's Xiliang has risen up anyway, why don't we just rebel? We'll see who's in charge then!"
Bang!
Lin Rusong slammed his hand on the table, interrupting them abruptly, and said in a deep voice, "Shut up! Don't mention this again! I, Lin Rusong, will not be a traitor to the nation!"
These people are truly ignorant and arrogant, actually talking about rebellion. Is such a thing something that can be openly discussed? If rebellion were so easy, Li Anlan would have been killed long ago.
If this gets leaked, it will inevitably lead to bloodshed.
Although these people were all his trusted confidants, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be any of Li Anlan's men in the manor. Wouldn't this be handing over a handle to his door? Lin Rusong wasn't going to do something so foolish.
"Your Highness, please forgive me!"
Everyone was startled by the prince's sudden outburst, and only then did they realize their recklessness, quickly shutting their mouths.
They had become arrogant and had casually mentioned rebellion; it was the Crown Prince who gave them confidence.
"Alright, I'll pretend I didn't hear anything about today. Don't mention it again. Tonight, I'm hosting a grand banquet for the whole city. You should all bring your families to the palace for the feast!"
Lin Rusong glanced at them, as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile.
Host a banquet?
Everyone's eyes lit up. Since a banquet was being held, it meant the prince wasn't angry. They all left happily.
After everyone left, Lin Rusong's face immediately darkened, causing Xu Zhong and Wang Ziwen, who remained, to shudder. The prince was truly angry.
Wang Ziwen couldn't help but comfort him, "Your Highness, don't overthink it. They're just dissatisfied with the Emperor's withholding of military supplies from Northern Liang, which is why they said they wanted to rebel. It was probably unintentional."
"Snort!"
Lin Rusong snorted coldly and said angrily, "I'm not angry that they want to rebel, but that they don't know how to restrain themselves. The stronger Northern Liang becomes, the more cautious we must be. Li Anlan has planted a large number of spies in Northern Liang. Even if Yi'er has eliminated some of them, there are definitely still quite a few left."
"Once these words get out, Northern Liang Northern Liang will be plunged into an abyss of no return, and will be forced to rebel!"
Some things can be said, and some things must never be said, otherwise, what's done is done.
Although Northern Liang is powerful, it is not powerful enough to directly destroy Great Ning, so these people are still a bit too arrogant.
Is Great Ning weak?
They are not weak at all; otherwise, they wouldn't have almost wiped out the Northern Region Barbarians.
He only made a rough estimate, but the total military strength of the Great Ning Dynasty had reached a staggering 1.2 million, which was a terrifying number.
Of these, 500,000 Central Imperial Guard were under Li Anlan's control. The Central Imperial Guard possessed terrifying combat power and were truly elite troops. This army was extremely powerful and was Li Anlan's trump card.
The remaining 500,000 troops were in the hands of the feudal lords, and the remaining 200,000 were the regular troops of various prefectures and counties. As for the troops of Northern Liang, they were not actually included in this count.
There are three vassal kings in Great Ning. The only one who is not of the same surname is Lin Rusong, the Prince of Northern Liang. The other two vassal kings are all members of the Li Clan and would never help him rebel.
Li Zhengdao, the Prince of Shu, was Li Anlan's uncle. He controlled the Great Ning and was mainly responsible for suppressing the southern chieftains to prevent them from causing trouble.
King Li Sanjiang of Prince of Min, who was also Li Anlan's uncle, was a true war god-level figure who was in charge of the coastal areas of southeastern China.
These two powerful vassal kings each commanded an army of 200,000, and neither was an ordinary person.
If Li Anlan joins forces with them, his military strength will instantly grow to the million level, which is an extremely terrifying size.
