With a thought, Jiang Wei was summoned.
A handsome young man appeared before Lin Yi. Upon seeing Lin Yi, he said respectfully, " Jiang Wei greets his lord!"
" Boyue, there's no need for such formalities!"
Lin Yi glanced at Jiang Wei, a historically controversial figure who now looked full of energy, a state he quite admired.
Regardless of his evaluation, his abilities are undeniable.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, " Boyue has just arrived and will be working by my side for the time being. Your task is to study the offense and defense of Youning Commandery and Great Ning. This is your future goal!"
Since Jiang Wei spent his entire life on northern expeditions in his previous life, let him start a southern expedition in this one!
This man is a man of unwavering will. It is absolutely the right person to keep an eye on Youning Commandery. Given the right opportunity, he will surely inflict heavy casualties on Great Ning.
"Thank you, my lord! Jiang Wei will do his utmost!" Jiang Wei's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say excitedly.
I never expected that my lord would place such high hopes on me so soon. He wants to entrust me with the strategy for conquering Great Ning. Now, Xiliang is strong and well-equipped, and its logistics are far superior to those of Shu Han. This time, I can go all out and make great strides!
"Kindness!"
After arranging Jiang Wei's affairs, Lin Yi's gaze fell on the two remaining rewards. He could give the thousand spies to Wang Yue, but Lin Yi fell into deep thought about the five thousand Flying Bear Army.
This reward surprised him somewhat. He had thought that killing Yelü Dashan would reward him with a military general, but he didn't expect it to be five thousand Flying Bear Army. It seems that the system has accepted that Yelü Dashan's talent is not as good as his background.
Five thousand Flying Bear Army already constitute a complete unit; it would be a real waste to place them in the Divine Machine Battalion.
He glanced at Jiang Wei, the lone commander, and decided to temporarily entrust the five thousand Flying Bear Army to him to see how capable this disciple of Zhuge Liang was and whether he could manage the Flying Bear Army!
Knock knock!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
After Lin Yi gestured for Jiang Wei to open the door, he saw Wang Yue and Hu Che'er coming in together, clearly there to deliver the mission.
"Greetings, my lord!"
Lin Yi nodded slightly and smiled, "Yesterday, the Divine Machine Battalion successfully killed Tuoba Yu and Yelü Dashan, which made me very gratified. It seems that the Divine Machine Battalion is basically complete!"
The collaboration between the Divine Machine Battalion and the Net is a perfect match.
Given time, once the Divine Machine Battalion has fully matured, it can become a sharp blade, capable of slaying all enemies.
"Hehe, with the Divine Arm Crossbow and Ma Jun Divine Crossbow that our lord gave us, how can the fighting power of my Divine Machine Battalion be compared to that of a barbarian like Tuoba Yu? From the moment our lord issued the order, his fate was sealed." Hu Che'er chuckled, his face full of flattery.
Hahaha!
Lin Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter. This guy had actually learned to flatter! He couldn't help but laugh and say, "You deserve the most credit for this, and then there's the intelligence from the Net. Go and collect your reward later!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
"Hmm, where is Li Yunqing?"
"Reporting to my lord, Li Yunqing beheaded Tuoba Yu, offered a blood sacrifice at Li Sansi's grave, and then committed suicide!" Hu Che'er said with some admiration.
He committed suicide!
A hint of regret flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. He hadn't expected that the father and son would die in the same way—both by suicide. It was truly heartbreaking.
He sighed, "He is, after all, Li Sansi's son. He is truly decisive. If given the opportunity to grow, he would surely be a Mingzhu of the royal family, but now that opportunity has been cut short!"
He was a smart man; he knew he would never let him go, so he chose to end his own life.
"This is also due to our lord's benevolence; otherwise, he would never have been able to avenge himself!" Wang Yue couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.
Lin Yi waved his hand and laughed, "What's past is past. Have someone send Li Yunqing back to the capital. He's a member of the royal family, after all; he can't die far from home!"
"This..."
Everyone's pupils contracted; their lord's move was ruthless enough that Li Anlan had no choice but to admit it.
That was a brilliant move!
"My lord, a report has arrived from Xining!"
At this moment, Wang Yue remembered the purpose of his visit and took out a piece of intelligence from his pocket, handing it to Lin Yi.
Xining!
Lin Yi's eyes lit up. It seemed there was already movement in Xining. He asked excitedly, "Could it be that Cai Yu has mobilized his troops northward?"
"My lord is wise! The Xining Army 40,000 has marched north, and Cai Yu now likely commands over 70,000 men!"
"Hehe!"
Lin Yi sneered. Cai Yu had been avoiding battle all along, clearly because he hadn't received Li Anlan's permission and didn't dare to easily provoke Xiliang and Northern Liang.
Now, they have suddenly mobilized almost all their troops, leaving only 10,000 men to guard Xining Army. This clearly means they have received orders from Li Anlan to prepare for a tough battle!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer, "The battle of Xining has finally arrived. Old Master Bai is known as the Asura Army, so let me see the ultimate combat power of the Asura Army!"
Xining Army!
Cai Yu received a secret order from Li Anlan, instructing the Xining Army to attack the force sent by Xiliang. If Xiliang was defeated, everyone would be promoted one rank; if they could be completely annihilated, everyone would be promoted two ranks!
When Cai Yu received this secret edict, his hands trembled slightly. As long as he defeated Xiliang, he could be promoted one rank, which was a great temptation for him. If he annihilated them all, he could even be promoted two ranks. He might be able to be ennobled for his merits, bring glory to his family, and benefit his descendants!
Moreover, Li Anlan gave him half of the tiger tally directly, allowing him to freely mobilize the army of Xining Commandery. The entire Xining Commandery would fully cooperate with his actions without any hindrance, enabling him to act with full force.
This is a significant advantage. After all, Cai Yu has been operating in Xining Commandery for a long time, and the military equipment and logistics of the Xining Army are far superior to those of the Xiliang Army that came from afar. According to Cai Yu's intelligence, the main force sent by the Xiliang Army this time seems to be Bai Zizai's 50,000 Asura Army. In his view, the Asura Army has been neglected for a long time and is on a long and arduous expedition. He can gather 70,000 troops this time without any fear!
We can fight this battle!
The advantage is in my hands!
Speed is of the essence in war, Cai Yu immediately conveyed Li Anlan's order to mobilize 40,000 troops from the rear to march north, preparing to gather forces and teach the Xiliang Army a lesson!
The entire Xining Army was eager to fight, as a victory would mean a promotion, and they couldn't afford to miss such a good opportunity. The whole Xining Army was in a state of high spirits, operating at full capacity, as if their chance to achieve great things was just around the corner!
