"Your Highness, could it be that the Crown Prince borrowed troops from General Bai and took away 50,000 Asura Army? If so, they should be enough to fight!"
Xu Zhong pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice.
The Asura Army has been fighting in Xiliang Commandery, and their combat strength is at the elite level. If it were them, it wouldn't be impossible.
Everyone looked at the Northern Liang Guard, who shuddered and was about to speak when Lin Rusong snatched the letter away.
They're dragging their feet, it's driving me crazy!
puff!
After reading the intelligence report, Lin Rusong spat out his tea, his face filled with disbelief.
"150,000 troops?"
How the hell is that possible?
My son only had 30,000 men, how could he have grown to 150,000 in the blink of an eye? Was this a dream?
He subtly stepped on Wang Ziwen's foot, causing the latter to jump up in pain and glare angrily at his old partner, wondering what the guy was up to.
"It's not a dream!"
Seeing him hopping around in pain, Lin Rusong breathed a sigh of relief and murmured.
Wang Ziwen immediately objected, frowning and saying, "What 150,000 troops? Are you dreaming?"
" Bancheng! The intelligence says my son now has 150,000 troops and has even defeated Tuoba Yu and Tuoba Qingsong's 120,000-strong army. If Tuoba Wanli hadn't come to the rescue in time, I'm afraid the Northern Barbarians would have lost a prince!" Lin Rusong said, his eyes shining and his face glowing.
Grunt!
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned, completely dumbfounded.
"150,000 troops?"
Xu Zhong couldn't help but gasp. This force was almost half the size of Northern Liang's. Was the Crown Prince really this powerful?
How did they even manage to do that? It's simply unbelievable.
It's a shame he said the Crown Prince's forces were insufficient; they could easily rout Tuoba Yu's 40,000-strong main force.
He couldn't help but look at the Prince of Northern Liang, asking curiously, "Your Highness, how did the Crown Prince manage to do that?"
"I'm also very curious. Could the young master really create something out of nothing, like a divine gift?" Wang Ziwen also snapped out of his shock and said with a wry smile.
Cough cough!
Lin Rusong had no ulterior motives; he simply volunteered to be the commentator.
"This matter begins with my son borrowing troops..."
After he finished speaking, everyone's jaws dropped. They were all stunned, dumbfounded by the sheer volume of information!
"Wait, what the heck is this White Horse Tribe?"
Wang Ziwen was full of questions, and frowned, saying, "What's the background of this White Horse Tribe? I've been living in the north for so many years, and I've never heard of such a tribe!"
He looked at Han Song and Xu Zhong and the others.
"Unheard of!"
Everyone shook their heads and said in unison.
I've never heard of this before, not even its name, let alone a fleet of pure white warhorses.
At this moment, Han Song spoke up, saying in a deep voice, "Your Highness, could it be that the Crown Prince has been secretly accumulating power, just like Ma Chao did back then?"
"That makes sense!" Lin Rusong nodded; it was indeed possible.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that these warhorses are all white is something that couldn't be accomplished overnight. If the Crown Prince spent more than ten years creating them, then that's quite possible.
Snap!
Thinking of this, Lin Rusong couldn't help but slam his hand on the table and exclaimed with delight, "Hahaha, my son has the bearing of an emperor!"
"He knew how to accumulate strength from a young age; his intelligence is unparalleled. No wonder Yi'er was able to Yiming and become unstoppable!"
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed!
Although his son used to be a spoiled brat, he was just hiding his true nature. In fact, he had been quietly accumulating strength, waiting for the moment to Yiming.
As expected, they first massacred the Northern Liang Royal City, wiping out the trash like the Heavenly Eagle Guard and the Great Ning Guard, and bringing the entire royal city under the control of the Prince of Northern Liang's Residence.
He then went on to massacre the entire Xiliang Commandery Xiliang Commandery, bringing it to his knees and preventing the Heavenly Eagle Guard and Great Ning Guard from getting close.
Later, with only 30,000 troops, he directly confronted Tuoba Yu's 80,000 men, defeating Tuoba Yu so badly that Tuoba Yu had to abandon his armor and weapons and finally had to fight Li Sansi.
He thought this was his most glorious moment, but he never expected that there was something even more impressive to come. Now he has not only swept through Ningchuan Commandery, but also defeated the more than 100,000 troops of Tuoba Yu and Tuoba Qingsong.
Not only is he invincible in martial arts, but his character is also exceptionally good, to the point that he encounters people seeking refuge with him even on the street.
What else could this be but the aura of an emperor?!
Only a born emperor possesses such personal charisma; others shouldn't even dream of it.
Our Prince of Northern Liang is quite powerful, isn't he? But he built it up little by little.
As her son walked along, people naturally came to rely on him, and in fact, tens of thousands of them came at a time. Who could possibly handle that?
How come our son is so amazing!
"Wow, the young master is truly astonishing, even ghosts and gods are amazed!" Even Xu Zhong couldn't help but smile wryly and lower his proud head.
There was a time when I despised the Crown Prince for being a dandy and ignorant, but now it seemed that it was entirely due to his own shallowness. Who would have thought that behind the contempt, the Crown Prince had been quietly strengthening himself.
Their sudden Yiming Northern Liang is astonishing, as they have unleashed the culmination of over a decade of accumulation in just one month.
However, the appearance of the 150,000-strong army undoubtedly confirmed the news, indicating that the Crown Prince had been prepared for this.
Wang Ziwen laughed and said, "No wonder the Crown Prince was so confident in having the Prince mobilize troops to guard the Western Regions. It turns out he had everything planned out all along. I'm afraid not only is Xiliang Commandery under his control, but my Northern Liang is also within the Crown Prince's grasp!"
To know so much about Northern Liang from a thousand miles away is truly terrifying.
Han Song couldn't help but feel a little sad. If he had followed the Crown Prince into Xiliang Commandery back then, perhaps he would have had the chance to witness the Crown Prince's legendary rise.
"Hahaha, the Northern Liang has a worthy successor!"
Upon hearing everyone's words, Lin Rusong burst into laughter. His worries of the past few days vanished instantly, and he felt incredibly happy and triumphant.
The person who should be worried now isn't myself, but Li Anlan.
He couldn't help but say smugly, "My son now occupies Ningchuan Commandery, with 150,000 troops stationed there. Relying on the natural barrier of the Great Ning River, unless Li Anlan mobilizes 200,000 troops, or even more, there is no chance of taking back Ningchuan Commandery."
"However, given my son's abilities, I'm afraid even if he mobilizes an army of 200,000, it will all be for nothing. After all, that kid never does anything he's not confident about."
Seeing the smug prince, everyone's lips twitched. Who was worried earlier? Now he's showing off here.
However, the prince is right. With such an unfathomable heir, there is indeed not much to worry about.
Since the Crown Prince is no longer hiding his strength, he must have already prepared a plan; otherwise, he would definitely have concealed it again.
