After the storm, Cai Yan obediently lay on his chest, drawing circles.
She said with pride, "My husband, the people of Xiliang have actually volunteered to join the battle to help us resist the attack from Great Ning, transporting supplies and equipment for Xiliang!"
The common people took the initiative to help; what a privilege this is! Even Li Anlan probably couldn't have received such treatment.
In other words, the men of the family treated the people well, so the people's hearts were with Xiliang, and they took matters into their own hands without needing to be conscripted.
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it; this is an age-old saying!" Lin Yi sighed and said with a wry smile.
Actually, getting to this point is largely due to Li Anlan's personality. This guy is far too controlling and intolerant of others.
Who would be willing to obey the idea of cutting in half the Northern Liang army that their father had painstakingly built?
Li Anlan dared to kill his own brother and father, so he was no pushover. Once Northern Liang lost its military deterrence, it would be meeting its demise in no time.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, a golden light suddenly rang in his mind, instantly waking him from sleep.
The Northern Barbarians are completely gone!
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully subduing others with force, conquering the entire territory of the Northern Barbarians, and annihilating the Northern Region Barbarians. Reward: Kingdom Annihilation Gift Pack!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Heavenly General Zhang Jiao, the Earthly General Zhang Liang, and the Human General Zhang Bao!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the peerless warrior Huang Zhong archer who can shoot an arrow through the sky from a hundred paces!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Divine Fire Flying Crow crafting blueprint!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired Gongsun Zan's 200,000-strong Youzhou Legion!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Heirloom Seal of the Realm!"
Two days ago, Jia Xu sent a letter saying that Yulong City had been destroyed, but unexpectedly it took two days to completely wipe out the Northern Barbarians.
It's plausible that he first cleared out the northern Northern Barbarians territory, and then took the opportunity to move south and clear out the Northern Barbarians near Mountain and River Pass.
After all, it takes time for a country to completely clean up its mess.
The rewards from this national annihilation gift package are quite good. Not only did they get Gongsun Zan's 200,000-strong Youzhou Legion for free, but they also obtained the peerless general Huang Zhong.
The Youzhou Legion goes without saying; they routed the alien races, and their strength should not be underestimated.
If the 200,000-strong army were equipped by Xiliang, their strength would definitely double, and their power would increase significantly.
As for Huang Zhong, this peerless warrior, Lin Yi was quite pleased. To be honest, there was some controversy surrounding his strength. However, the fact that he fought Guan Yu for over a hundred rounds in his old age, and they were evenly matched in the end, was enough to prove everything.
Some even asserted that Huang Zhong in his prime was capable of taking on Lü Bu one-on-one.
Even without such formidable skill, his archery prowess, capable of hitting a target from a hundred paces, was enough to delight Lin Yi; he was a master archer capable of slaying generals.
As for the three Zhang Jiao brothers, Lin Yi was both amused and exasperated. They had all been brought up at once, clearly determined to make him cause trouble for Li Anlan!
These three men sparked the earth-shattering Yellow Turbans Rebellion, and now they're giving Li Anlan a taste of his own medicine, making him feel good too.
What Lin Yi valued most was undoubtedly the Divine Fire Flying Crow.
This device represents advanced technology from the Ming Dynasty. Similar to a rocket, it could fly over and explode to kill or injure enemies, undoubtedly a further development of gunpowder.
This was undoubtedly a very important part for Xiliang.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi quickly put on his clothes and left the backyard.
" Wang Yue, send someone to give this blueprint to Ma Jun, and have a portion made as soon as possible!" He summoned Wang Yue and gave the order.
With Ma Jun's help, the work can be completed quickly, and it might even be able to join the battle to destroy Great Ning.
He then summoned the three Zhang Jiao brothers.
Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao pay their respects to their lord!
The moment the three of them came out, the whole scene took on an air of otherworldly elegance. They were dressed exactly like Daoist priests, which made Lin Yi's lips twitch.
If you didn't know these guys' backgrounds, you'd really think they were enlightened masters. Little did you know, these three were all experts in pyramid schemes.
Cough cough!
He coughed twice and said in a deep voice, "The three of you should be able to spread this proclamation All Under Heaven and cause some trouble for Li Anlan, right?"
The three men glanced at the proclamation, and their expressions immediately became serious.
"Such a tyrannical ruler must die to appease public anger. Zhang Jiao is willing to serve my lord!" Zhang Jiao said righteously.
"Where justice lies, I am willing to serve my lord!"
"It's my duty!"
Seeing that the three were so sensible, Lin Yi nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "I will have the people from the Net (Net of Heaven) help you. You need to let as many people as possible know this news in a short time!"
Since it is a proclamation, it must be spread All Under Heaven; otherwise, it would be utterly useless.
"Understood!" The three nodded and went to make preparations.
On the other side, Ning Kun's expression was extremely grim.
He was originally preparing to wait for reinforcements to arrive so they could beat up Jiang Wei together, but he never expected that instead of his own reinforcements, the enemy's reinforcements would arrive.
[The border of Great Wasteland Commandery has been attacked; all 30,000 defending troops have been wiped out, and the enemy is heading this way!]
He said with a gloomy face, "How is this possible? Weren't Lin Yi's cavalry all in the Northern Barbarians? How come they've returned so quickly?"
How could this be? We deployed a large number of defenses on the border, yet we were completely wiped out. How many enemies must there be?
"General, we have received news that more than 200,000 cavalry have invaded the Great Wasteland Commandery!" Wang Xiaoyi said bitterly.
"What, two hundred thousand cavalry?"
Upon hearing his words, Ning Kun's expression changed drastically. This was outrageous! How did so many more people suddenly appear? What was Lin Yi up to?
Wang Xiaoyi corrected, "It's over two hundred thousand, almost three hundred thousand! The other side claims to be a rebel army from Xiliang, who came specifically to attack us!"
puff!
Ning Kun nearly vomited blood. What kind of people call themselves rebels, and yet they suddenly have nearly 300,000 rebels? This is simply outrageous!
He dared not hesitate for a moment and said in a deep voice, "It must be Lin Yi's main cavalry force returning. They are extremely fast. We cannot let them go unchecked, or we will be in big trouble!"
Zhang Dajun, you must quickly lead 100,000 troops to set up defenses. Great Wasteland Commandery absolutely cannot be lost, otherwise we'll be even more passive in the future!
This is the only point of attack; if it's lost, Lin Yi will completely control the defensive point of the Fishtail Mountain Range.
If we want to break in again, we'll have to launch a full-scale attack; otherwise, we'll have to take a detour, which would be a huge problem.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Zhang Dajun didn't hesitate and quickly went down to prepare for defense.
That's nearly 300,000 cavalrymen. If he gets close, those 300,000 men will likely suffer a terrible fate.
