"My lord, we have received news that Li Anlan has also mobilized the aristocratic families to prepare for ocean fishing."
"For this reason, Great Ning even mobilized Zhan Shunyu of the Great Ning Navy to conduct extensive training of the navy. It can be said that they are coming on strong!" Wang Yue said in a deep voice.
This is his main objective today. If the Great Ning Navy succeeds, the threat to Xiliang will increase dramatically in the future.
The Great Ning Navy!
Upon hearing this, a murderous glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and he sneered, "Hmph, this Li Anlan is quite clever. He wants to use the aristocratic families to restart the navy, but that depends on whether I give him the chance!"
According to intelligence, the Great Ning Navy was basically at a standstill, and even the ships were in a state of disrepair.
It's just fishing, yet they've mobilized the navy. It seems Li Anlan has sensed danger and is somewhat wary of Gan Ning's presence.
"My lord, should we inform General Gan to wipe them out?" Wang Yue was slightly taken aback, but after realizing what was happening, he immediately asked with murderous intent.
Lin Yi shook his head and laughed, "We can't use Gan Ning this time. Someone else will take care of things when the time comes. I'll make Li Anlan regret this decision!"
On the mainland, perhaps you still have the strength to fight!
But on the water, well, that's a different story. We're the bosses here, and this time we'll make sure you lose everything.
Wang Yue's heart skipped a beat; it seemed his lord was about to use a hidden weapon.
He didn't dare ask any more questions, then handed a piece of intelligence to Lin Yi and said in a deep voice, "My lord, we have received news that Li Anlan has made a move in the west!"
Tearing off the seal, Lin Yi's eyes lit up at the contents inside. This Li Anlan was indeed restless. Could it be that his negotiation with the Northern Barbarians was a ploy to shift his focus to the west?
"Tsk tsk, Li Anlan wants to see what makes my Xiliang so special!" he sneered, speaking in a low voice.
I went to destroy the Jushi Kingdom and the Shachi Kingdom in a very high-profile manner. As long as Li Anlan isn't deaf, he must know that I was the one who attacked the Jushi Kingdom.
Now he's actually going to make a move; he wants a one-on-one fight to test the strength of Xiliang!
The so-called "Wall of Xining" actually has some strength. It actually managed to hold off 250,000 people with only 50,000 men for two months. Although it had the advantage of a city, it was still something to be proud of.
However, this time he is likely to suffer a defeat in the Jushi Kingdom.
Now, with Bai Zizai's 50,000 Asura Army there, plus Jia Xu's White Horse Volunteers and Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors, they are more than capable of defeating this so-called Wall of Xining.
Moreover, there are still nearly 100,000 prisoners there. If a battle breaks out, these cannon fodder will definitely be used.
The Wall of Xining probably won't hold!
He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Keep an eye on this matter. Jia Xu will handle it himself. There are quite a few more people in Xiliang now, so keep an eye on things!"
"Yes!"
Wang Yue nodded, then left.
Watching his retreating figure, Lin Yi thought of Pang De. Perhaps he should get him out. After this great battle, Jushi Kingdom would definitely become a focal point, and a capable person would be needed to take charge.
Before Lin Yi could react, Pang De appeared in front of him. His massive physique caught Lin Yi's eye; he was indeed a Great Han.
Pang De greets His Lordship!
"Haha, Lingming, no need for such formalities!"
Lin Yi helped him up and said with a smile, " Lingming, the reason I sent you out of seclusion this time is because of the matters in the Western Regions. From now on, the Jushi Kingdom and the Shachi Kingdom will need you to oversee them."
"It is Pang De's honor to serve our lord!" Pang De's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly.
"Very good. The Western Regions are still in the hands of the strategist. When the strategist returns, you will be needed to take up the post of governor. I will give you 40,000 Liang Province cavalry and another 10,000 able-bodied men. You can recruit the rest yourself!" Lin Yi said in a deep voice.
To hold the Western Regions entrance, a small force won't be enough; at least 100,000 troops are needed for stability.
However, most of the troops will now be concentrated among the Northern Region Barbarians, so apart from the Liang Province cavalry, the troops in the Western Regions can only rely on Pang De himself.
Fortunately, in this campaign in the Western Regions, in addition to providing 40,000 Liang Province cavalry, a considerable number of ordinary young men from the Western Regions were also recruited intermittently, totaling more than 10,000.
Although these people don't have much combat ability, they can still be useful if trained.
And unlike the prisoners, they are absolutely loyal, which is the most important thing.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Pang De's eyes lit up. He was immediately offered the position of governor. His lord was treating him incredibly well.
He exclaimed excitedly, "My lord, rest assured, with me Pang De, here, the Western Regions will be impregnable!"
"Alright, take this token and lead your cavalry to equip your troops." Lin Yi tossed him a token and told him to go and equip them.
This is also why Lin Yi summoned Pang De to Ping'an City. The Liang Province cavalry is not the same as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and their combat strength is inferior to the latter, not to mention their equipment.
Since they are to be used to guard the entrance to the Western Regions, they naturally need to be strengthened. In addition to weapons and equipment, the most important three-piece set for cavalry is indispensable.
With a saddle, horseshoes, and stirrups, a cavalryman's combat effectiveness can more than double.
With the addition of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and enhanced armor, Pang De was well-positioned to dominate the Western Regions.
Pang De's eyes lit up, and he said gratefully, "Thank you, my lord! Pang De will definitely manage the Western Regions well for you, no one else can help!" After saying that, he went off to take over the army!
Lin Yi nodded slightly and strengthened Pang De and his Liang Province cavalry, so that he wouldn't have to worry about the Western Regions anymore.
This guy may not be a great military leader, but he's more than capable of holding down the Western Regions.
Knock knock!
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Cai Yan brought in a bowl of ginseng tea.
Seeing the smile on Lin Yi's face, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what's making you so happy? Is it because there's good news from the Jushi Kingdom and Shachi Kingdom?"
"Hmph, just the annihilation of two small countries, what kind of good news is that?"
Lin Yi took the ginseng tea, took a sip, and looking at the beautiful woman's lovely face, he was immediately in a good mood and casually smiled.
ah?
Cai Yan was speechless after hearing this, and after a long while, she smiled wryly and said, "Your Highness, perhaps only you in the All Under Heaven could say such a thing!"
Those were two countries, capable of mobilizing 100,000 troops, yet they were just two small fry in front of this man. His aura made her feel weak all over.
She looked at the man in front of her with a kind of adoration. Ever since they had been intimate, she had become more and more infatuated with him.
Every move he made radiated confidence!
His composure and calmness, as if everything was under his control, captivated Cai Yan.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the adoring look in her eyes, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud. He didn't explain, but instead pulled her into his arms and said with a smile, "What's wrong, Wenji? Do you think your man is so amazing that you can't resist him?"
