"What?! The Martial Divine Minor Titled King has been murdered?"
"Yes, not only were they killed, but their heads were also cut off!"
"Lord Yelü is also dead. He was riddled with arrows, yet his tiger-like eyes remained open until death. He was truly a man of courage."
"But this time we're in trouble, we're leaderless!"
When the bodies of Tuoba Yu and Yelü Dashan were discovered, the barbarian soldiers of the entire Great Wasteland Commandery were in an uproar. For them, this was like a bolt from the blue; their leader was gone.
If the Great Ning army were to attack at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
They disregarded the darkness and sent people overnight to inform Tuoba Wanli that someone needed to take charge of the situation, otherwise Great Wasteland Commandery would be utterly defeated.
"What? Tuoba Yu and Yelü Dashan are both dead in battle?"
Upon receiving this news, Tuoba Wanli's face turned extremely grim; he even seemed to want to kill someone.
Originally, the peace talks initiated by Great Ning had put him in a good mood, and he offered several conditions in one go, ready to reap the benefits from Great Ning. However, before he could even enjoy his happiness for two days, Tuoba Yu and Yelü Dashan were killed. This was simply the worst news.
This means that something is very likely to happen in Great Wasteland Commandery, which would put our side at a disadvantage. There's a chance the traitor might cause trouble.
Looking at the headless Tuoba Yu and the boar-like Yelü Dashan in front of him, his fingers cracked with a sharp sound; two of his fingers had been severed in one fell swoop!
He had placed high hopes on both Tuoba Yu and Yelü Dashan, and now they were dead.
He glanced at the lieutenant general beside him and said in a deep voice, " Tuoba Yu and his companion are protected by the army. Do you know who killed them?"
"This..."
"Explain!"
"Xiao Mingwang was observing Li Sanjiang's movements from the mountain when someone sneaked up there. It's said that someone saw Li Yunqing carrying a human head to Li Sansi's grave, and others saw his men moving around in the vicinity."
Li Yunqing?
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Wanli's face turned green, and he roared, "What?! He's just a discarded pawn of Great Ning! How dare he kill my Northern Barbarians general? This is utterly All Under Heaven!"
He naturally knew that Li Yunqing was merely the Prince of Beining Commandery. The current Li Yunqing was nothing but a stray dog; how could he possibly kill his Great General of Divine Martial Prowess? It was simply a joke.
The others nodded in agreement, which clearly indicated that the situation was unreasonable.
"Your Majesty, Yelü Dashan must not have died in vain!"
Several members of the Yelü Clan couldn't help but stand up. Yelü Dashan had actually died just like that. He was one of their direct descendants, and he absolutely couldn't have died in vain!
If he had just died, that would be one thing, but Yelü Dashan died such a gruesome death, it was as if he had been pierced by a thousand arrows, and he died with his eyes wide open in disgrace!
They wouldn't accept it if the barbarian king just gave in like that.
"Rest assured, everyone, I will give you an explanation, Great Ning also needs to give us an explanation!"
A murderous glint flashed in Tuoba Wanli's eyes. This matter could not be left like this. Even if he agreed, Tuoba Yu's family and Yelü Dashan's family would not agree.
These two have some powerful backers, especially the Yelü Clan, who are definitely not to be trifled with.
He looked at his son and said in a deep voice, " Qingsong, you will take command of this army and investigate the cause of death of Yelü Dashan and Tuoba Yu with all your might. This matter must not be tolerated!"
"This..."
The others' expressions changed; the barbarian king had swallowed up Tuoba Yu's army.
However, they couldn't refute this, since Tuoba Yu was now dead, and Yelü Dashan was also dead, so they could only send someone else.
The members of the Yelü Clan exchanged glances and could only nod helplessly.
The next morning!
Lin Yi had just gotten up when a barrage of system messages flooded his mind. Clearly, the decapitation mission was complete, and the system had given him feedback.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully defeating the Northern Barbarians general Tuoba Yu with your martial prowess. Reward: Top-tier general Jiang Wei, whose ambitions were never fulfilled!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for winning over Li Yunqing, Prince of Beining Commandery, with your Win People Over with Virtue! You are rewarded with one thousand elite spies!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully defeating Yelü Dashan with your martial prowess. You are rewarded with 5,000 Flying Bear Army!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for subduing others with martial prowess, slaying Tuoba Yu's elite personal guards, and gaining one hundred members of the Flying Bear Army!"
Upon opening the message, his eyes lit up!
The Flying Bear Army has five thousand men!
Jiang Wei!
With just these two rewards, this operation has already been a huge success.
Jiang Wei, as Zhuge Liang's disciple, is known as the number one figure in the later period of the Three Kingdoms. He single-handedly supported the Shu Han in its later stages. Although opinions on him vary, it is difficult to overshadow his brilliance and talent.
In the later stages Shu Han basically lacked everything and was plagued by internal strife. It was truly remarkable that Jiang Wei was able to hold out for so long.
Getting Jiang Wei with a single Tuoba Yu is definitely a huge win.
These two men must have some similarities, after all, they both had unfulfilled ambitions, one for the Northern Barbarians and the other for the Shu Han, which is why they were highlighted.
