Why!
Lin Yi had said such things to him, so it was clear he wasn't going to let him go. He was probably going to die today.
He sighed deeply and said in a deep voice, " The Prince of Northern Liang is a hero, but the country needs stability. Northern Liang is far too dangerous. How can Your Majesty be at ease? He is ultimately acting for the All Under Heaven the people."
"He did it all for the sake of the All Under Heaven, not for the sake of the common folk!"
He only cared about his own power; the common people were nothing more than pawns in his game.
Snap!
He tossed Liu Ziyi's token to Wei Tong and laughed, "Commander Wei, this is Liu Ziyi's token. It seems you've been abandoned by Li Anlan. What are your thoughts on this?"
"Shadow!"
Looking at the token and hearing Lin Yi's words, Wei Tong's face turned extremely grim. He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness killed Liu Ziyi?"
"Yes, he killed several members of the Net organization, causing me losses, so he must die!" Lin Yi nodded and smiled.
"That news is true!"
Wei Tong gripped the token tightly in his hand, as if he wanted to crush it, and sneered, "This isn't just me being abandoned; it's the entire Great Ning Guard being abandoned. It seems I've ultimately lost to the Prince!"
If he hadn't repeatedly met with setbacks and failed to achieve anything against Lin Yi, he would probably still be the commander of the Great Ning Guard.
It's a pity the Emperor doesn't know that it's not that I, Wei Tong, am useless, it's just that Lin Yi is too strong.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for winning over Wei Tong, the commander of the Great Ning Guard, with Win People Over with Virtue virtue. You are rewarded with three thousand secret agents from Eastern Wu!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully defeating Liu Ziyi, the leader of the Dark Night, with your martial prowess. Reward: Hu Che'er, the Night-Traveler in Brocade Robes."
Huh!
This sudden news surprised Lin Yi. Wei Tong had actually recruited three thousand secret agents from Eastern Wu for him. This guy was actually quite valuable.
Then there's Liu Ziyi, whose life was actually exchanged for Hu Che'er.
Hu Che'er an extraordinary man!
What's remarkable about this character is his strength; he's said to be able to carry 500 jin (250 kg) and travel 700 li (350 km) a day, making him an absolute formidable figure.
His most famous act was stealing Dian Wei's weapon, which is quite embarrassing. It seems that Liu Ziyi is indeed somewhat unsavory and prefers to act sneakily.
Having received two rewards for free, Lin Yi's mood improved considerably.
He looked at Wei Tong and noticed that Wei Tong was now quite handsome, and smiled, " Wei Tong, you know Li Anlan very well. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
silence!
Wei Tong remained silent for a long time before saying in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I can only say that you underestimate the Emperor. Even if you killed me and Liu Ziyi, the Emperor is still discerning. His success in the rebellion was definitely not due to luck!"
"Oh, tell me more?" Lin Yi frowned; there was a hidden meaning in his words.
Wei Tong glanced at him and sighed, "I have repaid the Emperor's kindness in recognizing my talent over the past seven years. From now on, I owe him nothing!"
After saying that, he suddenly slammed his head against the wall and fell to the ground.
Forehead!
Wang Yue's expression changed, and he quickly ordered someone to open the door to check, but unfortunately, Wei Tong had already passed away.
Lin Yi nodded slightly, then frowned and said, "So fierce?"
He slowly walked out of the prison. Wei Tong's words gave him some inspiration. Perhaps Li Anlan was hiding something. It seemed he couldn't be underestimated.
"Coo coo!"
Just as I was about to leave, a pigeon suddenly fluttered over!
Upon opening the letter, Lin Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter. No matter how powerful Li Anlan was, he had managed to break two of Li Anlan's claws this time!
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on your great military success in conquering the Shachi Kingdom! You are rewarded with 100,000 top-quality warhorses and 20,000 Liang Province cavalry."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on your great military success! You have successfully conquered the Jushi Kingdom. Reward: Top-tier general Pang De, 20,000 Liang Province cavalry, and 30,000 camels."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully defeating the king-level figure, the King of the Shachi Kingdom, with your martial prowess. Top talent Ma Jun and management talent three thousand are awarded."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully defeating the general of the Jushi Kingdom with your martial prowess. Reward: 100 ancient chariots."
"..."
Huh!
Seeing the reward, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel energized.
Although the army was small this time, with only 40,000 men in total, he sent two top talents: the top general Pang De and the great inventor Ma Jun.
Pang De was known as the second-best person in Xiliang, meaning he was only slightly inferior to Ma Chao, and no one else could compare to him.
His fighting prowess was also extraordinary. In order to win him over, Cao Cao sent four fierce generals— Zhang He, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, and Xu Chu— and he was able to hold his own against them all.
Later, he even fought Guan Yu one-on-one for a hundred rounds. Although Guan Yu was already old at that time, it was enough to prove Pang De's strength.
Later, Pang De even wounded Guan Yu with an arrow, nearly killing him.
This man is a formidable general!
Then there's Ma Jun. In some ways, Lin Yi felt that Ma Jun was more important Pang De because the impact of his inventions was absolutely unmatched by any military general.
The key point is that this person was also quite versatile. Not only could he invent the silk weaving machine, but he could also invent the compass chariot and improve Zhuge Liang's Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. He was definitely a top-notch scientific research talent.
This is undoubtedly what Lin Yi needs most.
Pu Yuan alone is not enough for now, since Pu Yuan is somewhat specialized in weaponry. With Ma Jun now on the team, this gap can be filled.
Then there are the three thousand management personnel, which is undoubtedly a timely help. Last time, two thousand people were barely enough, so the appearance of these three thousand people is like a lifeline.
Aside from these personnel, the biggest surprise was undoubtedly the 100,000 top-quality warhorses and the 100 ancient chariots.
Needless to say, top-quality warhorses are a godsend for cavalry.
This ancient chariot is extraordinary; judging from its attributes, it is an ancient armored vehicle that can carry three people and attack through gaps.
It can also be used as cover, to counterattack the enemy in critical moments, and avoid being a sitting duck. With tanks, that situation will not occur.
In ancient times, chariots largely symbolized a nation's strength, hence the sayings "a nation with a thousand chariots" and "a nation with ten thousand chariots." Now, the system has directly provided one hundred chariots and even given out blueprints, which is definitely a generous gesture.
As for the 30,000 camels that finally appeared, Lin Yi was speechless. He had heard that these things could be used to create cavalry, but their speed seemed rather slow.
Moreover, he often appears in the desert, and we don't know if it will work for the Northern Barbarians. We'll have to try it out.
This thing has amazing endurance and can carry two or three people. It could even withstand the weight of soldiers in the Formation-Breaking Camp. If this is reliable, there will probably be a Trapped Camp Camel Battalion!
However, it still needs to be tested. Even if it can't be used, it can at least be used in the Western Regions and can be used by caravans to transport goods. It's definitely not a problem.
With a flicker of interest, Lin Yi became quite intrigued by this legendary inventor, a man renowned for his All Under Heaven.
