"Good!"
Tuoba Wanli nodded and smiled, "If Lin Yi dares to retreat, he will face a joint attack from Great Ning and my Northern Barbarians. At that time, everything he has in Xiliang can be divided in half by my Northern Barbarians."
He pulled a letter from his pocket, which was none other than a letter personally written to him by Emperor Li Anlan of the Great Ning Dynasty.
A joint plan to divide and conquer Xiliang!
The plan is to divide Northern Liang and Xiliang. Although Li Anlan may not be trustworthy, the outcome is still uncertain, and this is an opportunity for the Northern Barbarians, so he naturally cannot let it go.
Holy crap!
The crowd, who had been somewhat worried, instantly erupted in excitement.
Xiliang is now a symbol of wealth and power; if we could get half of it, that would be an enormous benefit.
This is much more reliable than plundering the border; it's like taking half of Xiliang directly.
Moreover, if Lin Yi falls, his dead father will naturally be unable to hold the line alone, and the Northern Barbarians will have to share half, or even more.
Good heavens!
A group of people instantly became envious; this had to be done!
Among the crowd, a more radical king couldn't help but step forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, why don't we take the initiative and attack? That way we can catch the enemy off guard!"
"That's right, let's just charge straight in. Lin Yi is nothing but a paper tiger."
"What is his strength compared to my Northern Barbarians Iron Cavalry? It's utterly insignificant."
Seeing the potential profits, these people went completely mad, wishing they could rush down the mountain, wipe out Lin Yi's 500,000-strong army, and then seize Lin Yi's Xiliang.
It is said that the Xiliang region is now covered in gold.
Tuoba Wanli glanced at everyone and laughed, "Haste makes waste. We don't need to launch an attack. Lin Yi has probably also received news of Li Anlan's northward journey, and he will soon lose his composure."
Once he fails to conquer my Great Jade Mountain, he will naturally retreat on his own initiative, and that will be our opportunity to strike.
Everyone nodded in agreement. That made sense; at least they wouldn't have to fight the enemy head-on, which would reduce their losses and make it easier to compete with Li Anlan for territory.
After settling everyone in, Tuoba Wanli finally met with his son.
Tuoba Qingsong, filled with doubt, finally couldn't help but ask, and said with a wry smile, "Father, weren't you supposed to retreat? Why did you personally go to the battlefield?"
This is strange. Isn't his father's principle to fight if he can and run if he can't? Why is he being so brave now, coming all the way to Great Jade Mountain in person?
"Nonsense! I am the King of the Northern Barbarians! If I don't fight for Northern Barbarians Northern Barbarians, who will?"
Tuoba Wanli glared at his son and said irritably.
Although he was afraid of death, he also knew the importance of this battle and that it absolutely could not go wrong. Now that Li Anlan had taken action, the chances of the Northern Barbarians winning were even higher.
Therefore, it is imperative to defend Great Jade Mountain.
Otherwise, if the Northern Barbarians are wiped out, how can we participate in the division of Xiliang? Risk and benefit always go hand in hand, and this time I have to take the gamble.
Tuoba Qingsong frowned slightly. "What about my elder brother?"
"Your eldest brother is guarding Yulong City and will come to our aid in times of crisis. As for your wives and children, I have sent them away to a place of absolute safety. If things go wrong, we will still have to leave and reunite with them!" Tuoba Wanli glanced at his two sons and said in a deep voice.
call!
Upon hearing the last sentence, Tuoba Qingsong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This was more like his father's style; he had almost thought his father was possessed.
But that's good, now we have no worries about the future.
After resolving the issues concerning his two sons, Tuoba Wanli looked at Ashina Dubi and said in a deep voice, "Strategist, this battle is of utmost importance; I need your full strength!"
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, Ashina Dubi will do his utmost!" Ashina Dubi nodded respectfully and said in a deep voice.
However, he was cursing inwardly. This Tuoba Wanli was transferring his assets and children, but he had to take his wife, children, and elderly parents with him. How could he not go all out?!
If anything goes wrong, the whole family will probably be wiped out. This guy is too ruthless.
Tuoba Wanli nodded in satisfaction and said in a deep voice, " Lin Yi is now making a big show of mobilizing troops, which shows that he also wants to win this battle quickly. Therefore, from today onwards, everyone must be on high alert!"
If we can withstand this wave of attacks, Lin Yi will inevitably run out of steam, and then it will be our turn!
"Your subject understands!"
Tuoba Qingsong nodded. What he said made sense. Lin Yi wouldn't be able to wait much longer and would definitely launch an attack.
The longer this drags on, the more dangerous his hometown will become.
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose outside, and it grew louder and louder, causing Tuoba Wanli to frown slightly. Could something have happened?
He walked out and said in a deep voice, "What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss?"
"Your Majesty, Lin Yi's men have fired a large number of arrows, each bearing a declaration of war written in our script," a king said with a grim expression.
Challenge?
Tuoba Wanli frowned slightly, took the so-called challenge letter, and began to examine it.
Upon seeing this, his face instantly darkened.
Hearing of the hardships faced by the people of the Northern Barbarians, who were living in dire straits, the Chosen One, Lin Yi, felt compassion and intended to rescue the people of the grasslands from their suffering.
"Following the Northern Barbarians, you'll go hungry nine times in three days!"
"As the ruler of all people, I intend to ensure that the people of the grasslands also live a good life, that everyone has enough to eat and enough wine to drink..."
" The Northern Barbarians King Tuoba Wanli is unworthy of his position. He has secretly transferred his assets and descendants. How can he have the demeanor of a ruler?"
"Today I issue a challenge, inviting you to a duel to claim your dog's head!"
Holy crap!
Tuoba Wanli's face turned green. What did he mean by following the Northern Barbarians and going hungry for three days and nine meals a day? I at least get one meal a day!
And what about "Lord of All Living Beings" and "Lord of Heaven's Mandate"? You must have given those titles yourself.
This guy even revealed how he transferred his assets and his descendants. That's just too despicable! What are the other soldiers supposed to think of him?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Collect and burn all these challenge letters! This is pure psychological warfare; don't believe it!"
"Your Majesty, the enemy has fired at least several thousand bullets; many people have seen it." The young king glanced at his king, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.
The fact that their boss is so angry probably means he really is transferring assets, but Lin Yi discovered it.
Good grief, this guy's already trying to run away before even fighting! What am I supposed to do?
Thousands of them?
Tuoba Wanli's face instantly turned grim. This meant that the news would spread throughout the army in a short time, which was not good news and would affect morale.
He said in a deep voice, "Burn all these inflammatory words!"
The young king gritted his teeth and went down to burn the challenge letter. Although he had his doubts, the king was still there.
