The Northern Barbarians are gone?
Princess Shenle trembled. She knew that Xiliang might win, but she never expected to win so decisively, actually annihilating the Northern Barbarians.
Seeing Tuoba Wanli's unseeing eyes in death, her pupils couldn't help but shrink.
This king of the Northern Barbarians fought with his father his whole life, and probably never imagined that he would be defeated by a mere vassal king of Great Ning.
At that moment, she thought of her father, the Emperor!
Previously, when the Prince of Xiliang was campaigning against the Northern Barbarians, the Emperor took the opportunity to attack Xiliang. This probably broke the last shred of tacit understanding between the father-in-law and son-in-law.
The war against the Northern Barbarians is not yet completely over, yet my husband has rushed back to Xiliang at this time. The meaning behind this is not hard to guess.
If I'm not mistaken, my man is probably going to make a move against Great Ning!
There wasn't much she could do at that moment. The only thing she could do for Great Ning was to make her husband happier so that there would be less bloodshed later.
She greeted him with a smile, saying, " Shenle congratulates my husband on his triumphant return! From now on, All Under Heaven world is yours to roam freely!"
"Haha, Shenle so kind to me, I'm so pleased!"
Seeing the smile on her face, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel sorry for this intelligent woman.
Given her intelligence, it's impossible that she couldn't guess why I came back this time; it's quite difficult for her to still maintain a smile.
This time, she's going to seize her father's empire.
"Waaaaah!"
Wang Zijin, standing in the crowd, was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. She couldn't help but lower her head deeply, not daring to look at Lin Yi's figure, because it would make her feel ashamed.
There was a time when I looked down on him, but now he's someone I can't even reach. In the future, I probably won't even have the chance to wash his feet.
At that moment, she regretted it.
If it weren't for my arrogance back then, perhaps I would be Lin Yi's woman, and I wouldn't be like this now, not daring to look him in the eye.
"Congratulations on your great victory, my lord! From now on, Xiliang will have no worries about our rear!"
At this moment, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, and others slowly walked up, their faces full of smiles.
Lin Yi smiled and nodded. Now, Xiliang was indeed free from worries.
Seeing their excited yet slightly tired faces, he couldn't help but smile and say, " Wenruo, Changwen, you've worked hard these past few days!"
Li Anlan's 500,000-strong army launched a fierce attack on Xiliang, which was a great effort and mental strain even though his side had made preparations in advance.
"Haha, my lord swept through the northern barbarians, that's truly impressive! We were just guarding the house, and with the help of my lord's arrangements, we dare not take credit!" Xun Yu explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Yi shook his head and couldn't help but sigh, "Who could have imagined that the Emperor of Great Ning would take advantage of my campaign against the foreign tribes to attack my Xiliang? Who could have foreseen this!"
After saying this, he turned and entered the palace.
However, he made no attempt to conceal his words, and the people who were welcoming him outside heard them. They were only slightly taken aback for a moment before bursting into curses.
"Who can argue with that? The Prince of Xiliang brought glory to Great Ning by annihilating the Northern Region Barbarians, yet the emperor, fearing the Northern Barbarians might suffer a loss, launched a relentless attack on Xiliang!"
"That damned emperor is worse than a dog! I curse his ancestors for eighteen generations!"
"If you ask me, this guy is completely insane. Doesn't he know the difference between good and bad people?"
The people were furious. They thought, "You yourself are incapable of defeating the barbarians, but our prince stepped in and wiped out the Northern Barbarians. That's helping you, the emperor."
Not only do you not know how to be grateful, but you even attacked Xiliang.
Could this guy be a spy from the Northern Barbarians?
Hearing these curses, Lin Rusong couldn't help but curse back, angrily saying, "Listen to the people's voice! What kind of mess has that bastard Old Li made? He's utterly despicable!"
Though he said this aloud, he couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude in his heart. Now even the emperor had been insulted like a grandson.
"Father, your daughter-in-law is still here. Don't be so direct. That's her father!" Lin Yi glanced at his father and said irritably.
Ha ha!
Lin Rusong glanced at Princess Shenle and said awkwardly, " Shenle, I only have issues with your father, but I approve of you as my daughter-in-law. Don't worry!"
He had specifically looked into it, and this daughter-in-law was definitely no problem.
Even during the period when Xiliang was under attack, she did not send any message to her father, but instead actively helped Xiliang.
"Thank you for your understanding, Father-in-law, but Shenle is already a member of the Lin Clan," Princess Shenle said with a wry smile.
Lin Yi grabbed her hand and said with a smile, " Wenji, Lele, you two go back to the backyard first, I'll come see you in a bit!"
The two women nodded, knowing they were going to discuss serious matters, and then left.
After seeing the two women off, Lin Yi's gaze immediately turned solemn as he looked at Xun Yu and asked in a deep voice, " Wenruo, what is the current situation in Wuning Commandery and Great Wasteland Commandery?"
"The enemy's attack has been thwarted, and they have retreated. They are probably waiting for their so-called 300,000 reinforcements!" Xun Yu explained.
He then handed a stack of documents to Lin Yi, which contained information about the troop deployment of the Great Ning forces. Although the Net) had been transmitting intelligence, it was still impossible to transmit specific data in real time.
After taking the documents, Lin Yi carefully examined the detailed data and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Li Anlan really went all out! He's really going all out!"
During the Battle of Great Ning Port, the emperor's brother -Shangguan Yun, lost nearly 80,000 men, leaving only a little over 200,000 of his 300,000 troops. He only managed to recover his original strength after emergency reinforcements, but morale was greatly diminished.
Ning Kun originally had only 200,000 troops in Great Wasteland Commandery, but he directly conscripted able-bodied men, bringing the total to 300,000. Unfortunately, he couldn't break through their defenses and suffered more than 50,000 casualties, leaving him with a maximum of 250,000 troops.
In addition, Li Anlan has newly mobilized 300,000 troops, but they are still en route.
Once the 300,000 troops that were conscripted arrive in Great Wasteland Commandery, the enemy on the northern battlefield will have a force of nearly 800,000. This is no small number; the mobilization of 800,000 troops can be considered an all-out effort.
Clearly, Li Anlan had not given up and wanted to seize the fruits of victory in Xiliang while he was "severely weakened".
This was practically a desperate gamble, a life-or-death struggle.
"Hmph, still dreaming of such things? That's just wishful thinking!" Lin Rusong couldn't help but sneer.
Li Anlan has lost his mind, going all out to attack Xiliang. If he knew his son had so many troops, he probably wouldn't have dared to do this. He's digging his own grave!
You have to understand that those so-called pirates of the East Sea are also his son's men; that's the most fatal thing!
There are also the people from the Western Regions, and his own 300,000-strong army; they're all enough to give him a headache.
