"Lin Yi, the King of Xiliang, you are truly remarkable!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Kun's face immediately darkened. If what the scout said was true, then Lin Yi was indeed no ordinary person.
The Xiliang and Northern Liang were already in the hands of him and his son, and with the addition of the Northern Barbarians, the entire north would be under Lin Yi's control.
This could very well be the King of the North!
That would put me in trouble!
He glanced at Wang Xiaoyi and said in a deep voice, "Go and investigate immediately, then report back as soon as possible! See if it's true; this is very important!"
"I'll go right away!"
Wang Xiaoyi dared not delay and quickly went down to arrange for people to investigate.
Things were much easier than expected, because the Northern Barbarians were terrified of war and many of them fled to this border. Wang Xiaoyi directly captured several Northern Barbarians civilians and brought them back.
"What? There really are so many Northern Barbarians?"
Looking at these disheveled Northern Barbarians, a murderous glint flashed in Ning Kun's eyes. He had dealt with the Northern Barbarians for half his life, and he hated these bastards to the core.
Now that these people have actually escaped to my territory, I'm sure they'll suffer a fate worse than death.
Pfft!
With a casual slash, a seemingly fierce Northern Barbarians died at Ning Kun's hands, blood splattered on his face, making him look particularly ferocious.
"Explain!"
Tell me everything you know!
The blood-dripping blade slid past their eyes, and several Northern Barbarians were so terrified they wet themselves. Ning Kun's murderous gaze was truly terrifying, driving them to the brink of collapse.
"General, that Prince of Xiliang is terrifying! He not only defeated Wind and Snow City and Great Wind Valley, but also marched all the way to Great Jade Mountain Great Jade Mountain. There, he defeated our King and killed 500,000 Northern Barbarians troops!"
They only started to flee after seeing what had happened to the Northern Barbarians. Fortunately, they were close to Great Ning, otherwise they probably wouldn't have had a chance to escape.
Ning Kun shuddered, looked at these people, and sneered, "You weren't lying, were you?"
This is too unbelievable! How did Lin Yi manage to kill 500,000 Northern Barbarians soldiers? Just how many people did he have?
This terrified the Northern Barbarians; this guy was capable of killing, so they quickly began to explain.
"General, we would never lie. We fled here because the Northern Barbarians defeat."
"A great battle raged between the two sides at Great Jade Mountain, Northern Barbarians suffered heavy losses. I'm afraid even our King has..."
Hearing these people's words, Ning Kun's face immediately turned extremely ugly. These pieces of news made his mood sink to the bottom; there was not a single good news.
The Battle of Great Jade Mountain is over!
Tuoba Wanli was defeated!
Lin Yi even killed 500,000 of his troops!
In that instant, Ning Kun's expression changed several times; the thing he feared most had still happened.
After losing 500,000 troops, the Northern Barbarians could no longer stop the advance of the Xiliang. Lin Yi was going to unify the North and complete the unification of the North!
A true king of the North!
"Damn it, Lin Yi is absolutely outrageous!"
Wang Xiaoyi and the others also Bai Qi. Lin Yi had actually defeated the main force of the Northern Barbarians, numbering 500,000, which meant that the Northern Barbarians were powerless to resist Lin Yi.
The North is now unified!
That's an army of 500,000! Is Lin Yi some kind of legendary warrior who can take on 10,000 men, and whose subordinates can each fight a hundred?
Tao Xianfang gasped, and said in a deep voice, "General, if we cannot take Xiliang in a short time, we may face a counterattack from the entire north!"
Grunt!
Even the usually audacious Zhang Dajun couldn't help but swallow hard. If it really came to that, it would probably be even more terrifying than the Northern Barbarians invasion.
Now that Lin Yi has unified the north and has no worries about the rear, he is three times more terrifying than the Northern Barbarians.
They couldn't even take down Youning Commandery, let alone Xiliang. They were destined to be utterly defeated by Lin Yi!
"Holy crap, is it really that scary?"
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines; if that day really came, their chances of survival would be slim.
Wang Xiaoyi frowned and said, "The key issue is that the Imperial Uncle Shangguan Yun hasn't made any progress either. The pressure of the attack is all on our side now, and that's the biggest problem!"
"That's right, this is a big problem!" Zheng Ziyu said with a gloomy face.
Even Ning Kun, who was always confident, couldn't help but feel uneasy at this moment. If Lin Yi marched south with the momentum of his great victory, he was afraid that his side would not be able to withstand it.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "This is an urgent message to the Emperor. We need reinforcements, otherwise we'll be in big trouble once Lin Yi returns to Xiliang!"
Given the current situation, his 300,000 troops are simply no match for Youning Commandery. He needs more reinforcements, otherwise he may not be able to hold out.
"That makes sense!"
Everyone nodded in agreement; they absolutely had to call for help now.
That's the fucking King of the North!
Great Ning Capital!
As the capital of Great Ning, this place is also affected by the situation in Great Ning. There is no peace on the four borders, which makes all the people's eyes reveal worry and a sense of confusion.
The world has changed!
"What's going on? Why has Great Ning suddenly become so hated that everyone's coming to attack us?"
"I'm puzzled too. It's one thing for the coastal pirates to be involved—that's their livelihood—but the southern chieftains and the Western Regions are getting involved too. What the hell is going on?"
"I've heard about it too. The southern chieftains are making moves again, and those small kingdoms in the Western Regions have even united to attack our borders."
"What's even more outrageous is the court's reaction. Now that Great Ning is in this state, the Emperor is actually mobilizing an army of 500,000 to help Xiliang quell the rebellion. Doesn't this seem incredibly bizarre?"
"That's great! Originally, there was only fighting between three parties, but now it's happening on all four sides!"
The common people who were able to establish themselves in the capital city all had some connections, so they knew quite a bit of information, which made them somewhat anxious and uncertain.
Nowadays, Great Ning is universally hated, so even if the people here have a good attitude, they still feel immense pressure.
Something's not right here; I feel like the country is unstable!
They couldn't understand Great Ning's series of policies. Already beset by troubles, why did they have to target Xiliang? Did they think Great Ning was too busy with three-way warfare and didn't seem well-rounded?
Or is the Emperor getting senile?
"Presumptuous!"
Seeing the group of people acting so recklessly, someone in the crowd's expression changed drastically, and they immediately sent people to drive the group away.
These ordinary people dare to discuss national affairs? They're practically asking for death!
Their gaze drifted towards the restaurant not far away, and they couldn't help but feel worried.
