Knock knock!
Lin Yi's fingers tapped on the table, and the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger!
Ning Kun's attitude was clearly aimed at him. If he ignored it, it would be a sign of weakness, and the powerful families would likely waver.
Although it won't affect the overall situation, admitting defeat isn't in my nature.
After a moment's thought, Lin Yi looked at Wang Yue and said in a deep voice, "Have Jiang Wei come over. It seems we need to give this butcher a heads-up beforehand!"
Jiang Wei!
This was the opponent Lin Yi had prepared for the villainous butcher Ning Kun. With Jiang Wei's military capabilities, plus the powerful support of the Luo Wang and Shenji Battalion, they were absolutely confident in dealing with the villainous butcher who had ventured deep into enemy territory alone.
"My lord is wise. Ning Kun is so perverse, actually slaughtering people indiscriminately in the Great Wasteland Commandery, a place that has experienced the ravages of war with foreign tribes. He is even killing innocent people indiscriminately. He is truly not a son!" Xun Yu said solemnly.
Chen Qun nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "My lord is the Prince of Xiliang, and also the King of the North. Ning Kun's actions clearly show his dissatisfaction with Xiliang. He must be punished, otherwise he will surely take advantage of the situation!"
Forehead!
As soon as the two scholars spoke, Xu Chu, who was standing next to Lin Yi, couldn't help but shudder. These two were terrifying; they had directly turned Ning Kun into a major criminal.
These two are terrifying. If we can't kill them with one blow, we should be careful.
"Thank you for your help, Your Highness. It is truly a blessing for the people of Youning Commandery to have your protection..."
Zhang Ci's eyes lit up. This time, not only had the prince expressed his opinion, but his two powerful assistants had also expressed their support. It was clear that Youning Commandery was saved.
He knew in his heart that the only person who could save Youning Commandery now was the Prince of Xiliang.
Since both the Zhang Clan and Qian Clan have pledged allegiance to the Prince, it's only natural for them to ask for his help. They can also use this opportunity to demonstrate their loyalty, so why not?
Lin Yi waved his hand, stopping his flattery, and said in a deep voice, "Your Zhang Clan pledged allegiance to me and offered Youning Commandery as a gift. Although I did not accept it, it does not mean that others can take it away at will, not even Ning Kun!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
Zhang Ci gritted his teeth and immediately changed his address, calling him "Lord".
The Prince of Xiliang has already made it clear. If I'm still being tactless and playing riddles, I'll just be asking for trouble.
Lin Yi nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Jiang Wei arrived quickly, still wearing his armor and travel-worn, saying, " Jiang Wei greets my lord!"
"Yes, Boyue, you've worked hard!"
Seeing the armor and dirt on his body, Lin Yi didn't blame him, because he knew that Jiang Wei had been training the Flying Bear Army recently, wanting to turn it into a super mobile force capable of forced marches.
At that time, the Flying Bear Army will not only have the ability to conduct long-range raids, but also the ability to carry out frontal sabotage operations.
Therefore, he has been mingling with the soldiers, not only to familiarize himself with the Flying Bear Army's combat habits, but also to consider the Flying Bear Army's combat methods and objectives. So he has not been idle recently, and you can't blame him for it.
"Serving our lord is my duty, Jiang Wei!" Jiang Wei said solemnly.
Lin Yi nodded slightly, pointed to Zhang Ci on the side and said in a deep voice, "I asked you to pay attention to Youning Commandery before. Now the opportunity has come. Great Ning Kun of Da Ning massacred the people in Great Wasteland Commandery and is also eyeing Youning Commandery covetously. This makes me very angry!"
I hereby appoint you as the General-in-Chief Who Shakes the South, responsible for guarding Youning Commandery. You command five thousand elite Flying Bear Army, and I will also provide you with one hundred thousand elite Qing Province Troops. Are you confident in your ability to defend the region?
"Rest assured, my lord, we will not allow him to gain the slightest advantage!"
Jiang Wei was overjoyed. Not only had his lord appointed him as the General-in-Chief Who Shakes the South, but he had also been given 100,000 elite Qing Province Troops. If he still couldn't defend Youning Commandery, then he would be utterly useless.
Jiang Wei naturally knew this General Ning Kun. In fact, he had already learned about him from his appearance in Great Wasteland Commandery. He was a guy known as the Little Human Butcher, who seemed quite formidable.
He couldn't help but sneer inwardly, " Little Human Butcher, huh? But this time you've crossed the lord. I'll turn you into a human stump!"
Holy crap!
Zhang Ci, standing to the side, broke out in a cold sweat. Was this really the case these days? To deploy an army of 100,000 men—and elite troops at that? Was there any justice in this world?
At this moment, he was somewhat relieved that his family had already pledged allegiance to the Prince of Xiliang; otherwise, they would probably be finished by now.
The Prince of Xiliang could easily field an army of 100,000, but it's impossible that he only had 100,000. This time, we've made the right bet.
In this situation, there's nothing more to say; just cling to the powerful figures.
He immediately stepped forward and solemnly said, "My lord, I know my abilities are limited, and I am willing to abdicate and hand over the position of Prefect of Youning Commandery to General-in-Chief Who Shakes the South. I hope my lord will grant my request!"
Ha ha!
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh. This guy was quite interesting. He couldn't just relinquish the position of prefect so easily; this was somewhat of a shady move.
He laughed and said, "The prefecture is still yours. Jiang Wei's task is to fight, but you are still needed to manage things. However, with 100,000 troops entering Youning Commandery, there needs to be an explanation. He will be the county commandant that you all jointly recommended!"
It just so happens that Hao Datong was killed by the Zhang Clan, so now Jiang Wei can take his place.
The north-south divide is now practically public, so there's no need to worry about any rhetoric. Jiang Wei hasn't shown his face much in Xiliang, so entering Youning Commandery won't be a problem at all.
"Understood!" Zhang Ci naturally dared not object and readily agreed.
Now that he has an army of 100,000 as a backup plan, he feels more confident. At least Ning Kun can no longer easily attack him and his group, which is a great thing.
It seems the Zhang Clan has chosen the right direction this time; the Prince of Xiliang is indeed the most powerful being in the north.
The Great General's Mansion of Great Wasteland Commandery!
Since Ning Kun entered Great Wasteland Commandery, he has forcibly suppressed several small aristocratic families and wealthy merchants, thus completing the unification of Great Wasteland Commandery Great Wasteland Commandery. Now, even the governor of Great Wasteland Commandery, Ao Zang, has been suppressed by him.
Inside the General's mansion, there was also a sand table, but the area he was staring at was Ningchuan Commandery. As for Youning Commandery, he didn't care about it at all; it was just a place he could take at any time.
"General, Ningchuan Commandery is heavily guarded, and we cannot get close, but Ningchuan Commandery troop deployment."
"That's right. Their Net has gathered a lot of intelligence, making our infiltration efforts very difficult. Furthermore, the need for a travel permit to enter and leave Ningchuan Commandery has caused us considerable trouble!"
"The enemy's defensive forces number about 100,000, plus their navy of 20,000 to 30,000, making a total of nearly 150,000."
"We have 200,000 troops at our disposal, so we are quite confident that we can open up the eastern passage. When the time comes, we can launch a naval attack on Ningchuan Commandery's port, which will be coordinated from both the east and west, catching the enemy off guard."
Several generals, full of vigor and high spirits, surrounded the sand table, pointing out the landscape, as if they had already captured Ningchuan Commandery.
