Northern Region Barbarians!!!
Upon seeing this map, Bai Zizai couldn't help but shed tears. Was the Crown Prince about to take action against the Northern Barbarians? Could he finally avenge his family?
He finally understood why the prince had said that; it turned out he didn't want him to have any regrets and wanted him to take revenge himself.
At this moment, the hatred that he had once buried with his own hands surged up again.
Click click click!
His ten fingers clenched tightly, making a brutal cracking sound from his knuckles, which was enough to show how excited he was.
Did he really not want revenge before?
Of course not!
He knew that Northern Liang was not strong enough in the past. If they forced their way into Northern Barbarians, even if they won, they would not be able to destroy Northern Barbarians. Instead, it would leave Northern Liang vulnerable, allowing Li Anlan to take over Northern Liang.
So this hatred had to be hidden, but now things are different!
The crown prince suddenly appeared and established the Western Liang out of Xiliang. In this way, the Xiliang and the Northern Liang stand side by side, which may give us a chance to destroy the Northern Barbarians.
He suppressed his excitement and whispered, "Your Highness, how many troops are you planning to deploy? Should we ask the Prince of Northern Liang to intervene?"
"Three hundred thousand troops!" Lin Yi glanced at him and said in a deep voice.
"Holy shit!"
Bai Zizai was startled and couldn't help but swear, exclaiming, "Your Highness, you have 300,000 troops? Where are they? I don't see them!"
What's going on? Has the Crown Prince hidden someone?
Where is this person hiding? Xiliang is right under our noses. Where did this person come from?
He just opened his mouth and said 300,000 troops. That must be the entire army of Northern Liang. Is the young master trying to reach the heavens?
Lin Yi glanced at him and said meaningfully, "This time I plan to wipe out the Northern Barbarians in one fell swoop. The 300,000-strong army will set off from different directions. Uncle Bai, you can choose your own Asura Army!"
The key to attacking the Northern Barbarians lies in flexibility and adaptability. Simply overwhelming them with a large army is meaningless. It is essential to divide the battlefield, just like when Huo Qubing killed the Xiongnu, to catch them off guard.
"Destroy the Northern Barbarians!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zizai's eyes lit up. This meant they were serious. Where the army came from wasn't important; the key was that the Crown Prince was going to destroy the Northern Barbarians.
He quickly glanced at the map, and sure enough, it was covered with dense lines, clearly indicating possible attack routes.
Huh?
Ziwu Road!
He looked up at Lin Yi, his face filled with disbelief, and said, "Your Highness, what does this mean? The Ziwu Road has become our territory. Does this mean Your Highness has taken over the Ziwu Road?"
My goodness, this prince is so secretive! He's already invaded the Northern Barbarians!
Lin Yi nodded and said in a deep voice, "This matter should have been kept secret, but since Uncle Bai is one of our own, I won't hide it from you. I've already taken over Tuoba Yu's stronghold, and now the Ziwu Road is one of my troop transport routes!"
"Good heavens, the young master is truly remarkable; he actually managed to get Tuoba Yu's buttocks covered!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zizai couldn't help but beam with joy, for this meant that the most difficult hurdle to overcome in entering the Northern Barbarians had been cleared.
No wonder the Crown Prince dared to say he had destroyed the Northern Barbarians; it turns out he had already opened the gates to the Northern Barbarians and was ready to attack at any moment!
etc!
In that case, now is the perfect opportunity to annihilate the Northern Barbarians Northern Barbarians, given that they are currently locked in combat with the Great Ning.
Lin Yi naturally understood his thoughts and laughed, " Great Ning's strength is currently too great. Let them fight with the Northern Barbarians for a while to weaken both sides. Next spring will be our opportune time to attack. By then, their warhorses will have gone through winter and will be at their weakest. That will be the best time to annihilate them!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zizai instantly understood: they wanted to use the Northern Barbarians to weaken the Great Ning Dynasty, to prevent Li Anlan from causing trouble behind the scenes.
Good heavens, the Crown Prince has grand ambitions.
He said excitedly, "Your Highness, don't worry, I absolutely won't say anything out of turn. I wouldn't even tell my own son! I'll go buy beans later and feed the warhorses well in the winter, then we'll chase after Tuoba Wanli and beat him up, hahaha."
Winter was tough for the Northern Barbarians because they had little food, and by the same token, their warhorses were also starving.
In this way, how could their hungry and emaciated warhorses outrun their fat and strong warhorses? Their side had a great advantage. However, this meant they couldn't reveal their position; they had to catch the enemy off guard.
Tsk tsk!
He was quite excited, circling the map repeatedly, wishing he could study it for days and nights to find the best route for deploying troops.
What goes around comes around; the old man will kill his whole family someday!
murderous look!
At this moment, Lin Yi clearly felt the killing intent emanating from this Great General Asura. Even though this killing intent wasn't directed at him, it was enough for him to feel this tangible threat.
It seems the old man has been holding back a lot of anger over the years, otherwise he wouldn't have been so terrifying.
" Uncle Bai, the person in charge of this war is the strategist Jia Xu. You can discuss it with him more. There is no specific battle plan yet," Lin Yi said with a smile.
Bai Zizai nodded understandingly and smiled, "I understand. The battlefield is ever-changing, it's too early to make plans now. We just need to figure out the route first."
"But I still need Uncle Bai's help!"
"What favor? Just say the word, Your Highness. I'll even take my granddaughter!"
Bai Zizai patted his chest, looking very magnanimous.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. "Am I that much of a lecher?" he thought. He said in a deep voice, "I need warhorses, a large number of warhorses, to completely wipe out the Northern Barbarians!"
Bai Zizai instantly understood: an army of 300,000 would require a considerable number of warhorses.
He couldn't help but ponder where this warhorse came from. Although Northern Liang also had warhorses, it certainly didn't have that many, since Northern Liang also had its own army.
etc!
At that moment, a thought struck him, and his eyes lit up. He exclaimed excitedly, "Your Highness, I've thought of a place! There are definitely enough warhorses there. If we can capture it, we could even get hundreds of thousands of warhorses!"
"What kind of amazing place is this that specializes in breeding warhorses?" Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly.
" The Jushi Kingdom and the Shachi Kingdom!"
" Western Regions kingdoms?"
Upon hearing these two names, Lin Yi instantly realized that Bai Zizai had his sights set on these two countries.
Bai Zizai nodded and sneered, "These two countries have been causing trouble on the border of my Northern Liang, and they're probably backed by Li Anlan. We can take this opportunity to conquer them, and their warhorses will be ours!"
"What is their military strength like?" Lin Yi nodded slightly. These two countries were not large, not even half the size of Northern Liang, but they were worth studying.
A smirk flashed in Bai Zizai's eyes as he scoffed, "These two countries have populations of only a few hundred thousand and military strength of less than fifty thousand. My Asura Army is more than capable of sweeping them away!"
