Gan Ning sneered!
" Li Anlan's 300,000 troops are approaching Wuning Commandery, and with Ning Kun's 200,000 troops, that's a total of 500,000. This guy's appetite is far too big; he actually wants to swallow up our lord's Xiliang in one fell swoop. Isn't he afraid of biting off more than he can chew?"
Even a fool would know that Li Anlan was taking advantage of his lord's invasion of the Northern Barbarians.
But things aren't that simple. Do you really think the Brocade Sail Navy and White Feather Soldiers are pushovers? Our lord was well-prepared.
"I will have Chen Dao lend you a hand, and at the same time, I will have the Net people monitor this area of water to prevent them from taking a detour," Xun Yu nodded and smiled.
The so-called 300,000 troops are really nothing to Great Ning Port.
Great Ning Port not only has a complete riverbank defense line, but also the presence of the Brocade Sail Navy and the White Feather Soldiers, making it extremely difficult for the enemy to launch a strong attack.
Gan Ning was not intimidated at all; on the contrary, he was eager to try.
He patted his chest and assured them, "Prime Minister, rest assured, with Gan Ning and Chen Dao here, their 300,000-strong army is nothing! If they dare to come, I'll show them what true cruelty is!"
He glanced back at the mountain of supplies piled up behind him; these were all catapults and siege crossbows that had been installed and delivered by the Heavenly Craft Workshop earlier.
If the enemy dares to come, they will learn what it means to wish they were dead.
With the Brocade Sail Navy on the Great Ning River, any enemy that dares to cross the line will inevitably suffer a devastating blow.
Liu Feng frowned and said, "Prime Minister, the lord has handed over that villain Ning Kun to Jiang Wei. He only has a little over 100,000 men. Can he withstand Ning Kun's 200,000-strong army? Should we go and help him?"
If the enemy can't cross by water, they will inevitably come from the east, which will put a lot of pressure on Jiang Wei.
If he can't hold out, Xiliang will be in danger.
Hahaha!
Upon hearing his words, Xun Yu couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, who told you Jiang Wei only has a little over 100,000 men? You've forgotten that our lord's Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors only took half of them!"
Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors!
Liu Feng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized, "That's right! Our lord left half of the most powerful Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors behind. With them helping Jiang Wei, as long as logistics can be guaranteed, the enemy probably won't be able to get even half a step closer!"
He knew all too well the terror of the Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors; their powerful crossbow formations were absolutely insane, and anyone standing in front of them would probably not escape their attack.
In this way, Jiang Wei was truly not afraid of Ning Kun.
Don't worry!
A smile flashed in Xun Yu's eyes. It was more than just these arrangements. If the lord hadn't made thorough preparations, why would he have attacked the Northern Barbarians alone?
Looking at the surface of the Great Ning River, he couldn't help but laugh, "Since Great Ning has already lost all shame, then don't blame us for abandoning all martial ethics. I'll show them what it means to be engulfed in war!"
"War raged everywhere?" Liu Feng's eyes lit up. The Prime Minister was up to something.
Xun Yu then took out a few slips of paper and handed them to his deputy.
"First, send a message to Guan Yu on Sea Liang Island, instructing him to mobilize his entire navy and send out greetings to all areas along the border of Great Ning. Also, take this opportunity to inform Ning Kun's Mountain and River Commandery."
"Secondly, inform the kingdoms of the Western Regions that these guys have formed a coalition army. Since they intend to serve their lord, their opportunity has arrived. Let them attack the Xining Army!"
"Thirdly, inform the southern chieftains that if they want potatoes, it depends on their sincerity!"
"Fourthly, regarding the Prince of Northern Liang, my lord hopes that the Prince of Northern Liang will not make the first move; let them keep an eye on things."
"..."
Holy crap!
Upon hearing these words, Liu Feng and Gan Ning felt a chill run down their spines. No wonder it was described as a land rife with war; after this series of actions, there was probably no place in Great Ning that would be peaceful.
If I were in Li Anlan's position, I'd probably go crazy.
Great Wasteland Commandery!
Ning Kun was thrilled after receiving the imperial decree.
After waiting for more than two months, the opportunity finally arrived.
Now, with 300,000 troops poised to strike in Wuning Commandery, if we make a little noise to attract the attention of Xiliang, Xiliang will definitely have to mobilize manpower to defend it. In this way, the defense of Great Ning Port will inevitably be weakened, and then the Imperial Uncle can break through Great Ning Port in one fell swoop.
Then, if they attack Xiliang from both sides, Xiliang is doomed.
Hahaha!
He couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, I've been waiting for this opportunity for months. Lin Yi killed my men and injured Wang Xiaoyi back then; now it's time for Lin Yi to pay the price."
"General!" Wang Xiaoyi was also overjoyed; finally, he could take his revenge.
Ning Kun took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Dajun beside him, and smiled, "Dajun, I asked you to contact Jiang Wei, what did that kid say?"
Although Youning Commandery had always been resistant to him, he believed that Youning Commandery was not stupid and should know what the general trend meant.
So he had someone contact Jiang Wei beforehand and asked him to make way. That guy should know what's good for him.
Forehead!
Upon hearing his words, Zhang Dajun's smile froze, and he forced a dry laugh, saying, "General, Jiang Wei only answered with one word."
"Okay?" Ning Kun was slightly taken aback and frowned.
"Roll!"
Holy crap!
"Tell me to get out? Does Jiang Wei's tens of thousands of men even deserve it?"
Ning Kun's face turned green instantly. Apart from being tricked by that bastard Lin Yi before, when had he ever been humiliated like this? How dare he tell me to get lost?
This Jiang Wei suddenly appeared in the last two months, and he only has about 50,000 to 60,000 men under his command. What makes him think he can stop me?
That's practically suicide!
And this Zhang Ci is a complete waste; he was actually suppressed by Jiang Wei to the point of being unable to lift his head. Doesn't he even know his own place?
He said with a gloomy face, " Youning Commandery has been opposing us and preventing us from infiltrating Youning Commandery. This Jiang Wei has probably already defected to Xiliang. What about that bastard Zhang Ci? Has he also sided with Lin Yi?"
"I've received word that the Zhang Clan and Qian Clan have apparently moved to Ping'an City, and Jiang Wei is now in charge of Youning Commandery," Zhang Dajun said with a dry laugh.
puff!
Ning Kun's lips twitched, feeling like the veins on his forehead were about to burst. This was absolutely outrageous.
This fellow is the Prefect of Youning Commandery, and he's already gone to someone else's territory!
That's a fucking traitor!
So, this Jiang Wei might also be problematic; perhaps he's actually one of Lin Yi's men.
He sneered, " Lin Yi, you really have a long reach, sending people right under my nose. Do you think I don't exist?"
"General, do you mean Jiang Wei is also Lin Yi's man?" Wang Xiaoyi's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Ning Kun nodded gravely and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that's the case. Otherwise, why would this guy dare to oppose us? He only has 50,000 men under his command. Where does he get his courage? It's obviously given to him by Lin Yi!"
