The Prince of Xiliang!
After completing the military arrangements, Lin Yi returned to the backyard of the Prince's Mansion and went straight to Princess Shenle's courtyard.
"My husband, you've come!"
Princess Shenle was not surprised at all when Lin Yi arrived. Instead, she looked relieved and even a little relieved that he had come.
She overheard the news of Xiliang's military expedition from the backyard.
The fact that Lin Yi came to see her at this time shows that he still cares about her; the worst thing would be if he didn't come.
Why!
Lin Yi nodded slightly, not hiding his actions, but sighed, " Lele, you should know that I've sent troops to attack your father, right?"
"I know," Princess Shenle said calmly.
Is it my fault?
How could I blame my husband!
Princess Shenle shook her head, a hint of loneliness appearing on her beautiful face. She sighed, "When Father killed Grandfather and Uncle, I knew this day would come. It's just that the one who did it is you, my husband!"
Once the door to ambition is opened, it transforms into a man-eating beast, impossible to contain!
For that supreme position, her own father, the emperor, could even kill his own father and brothers; her own man rebelled for survival, so what is there that she cannot unleash?
Why!
Lin Yi sighed, looking at the frighteningly clear-headed woman in front of him, and couldn't help but pull her into his arms. Sometimes being too smart isn't a good thing; it can be a form of torture.
Nestled in his arms, Princess Shenle lazily raised her head and said softly, "My lord, may I ask you for a favor?"
"What's up?"
Sleep with me!
A glint of light appeared in her eyes; those two seemingly frivolous words somehow possessed a sacred quality on her face.
ah?
Lin Yi was completely taken aback. He had thought she was going to say something touching, but it turned out to be something like this, which left him utterly bewildered.
I never imagined that Princess Shenle would be such a lecherous woman from Great Ning, lusting after my good looks!
Pfft!
Seeing his expression, Princess Shenle couldn't help but chuckle, then said softly, "After my husband destroyed Great Ning, Mingzhu was no longer the Great Ning, but merely the woman of the Prince of Xiliang."
If my husband doesn't sleep with me, Mingzhu will be an unregistered resident from now on!
Her eyes were charming and gentle, yet they revealed a hint of grievance, making her all the more pitiful.
Holy crap, even undocumented immigrants are appearing!
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's expression immediately turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "That makes sense. In order to prevent Lele from becoming an unregistered resident, it seems I have no choice but to stay up tonight!"
"Wait, I'm going to change my clothes!"
Li Mingzhu's eyes lit up, and she stood up from his arms, skipping and jumping to change her clothes.
When she reappeared, she was dressed in a red wedding gown, walking gracefully towards her.
Since you've chosen the man you'll entrust your life to, then wear a bright red wedding dress and sleep with him—that's true romance for a woman!
She beckoned to Lin Yi and smiled sweetly, "Husband, this is your last chance to sleep with the Princess of Great Ning. You won't have another chance after this, so hurry up and come!"
"Snort!"
Lin Yi flicked his python robe, instantly exuding a kingly aura, and roared, "What a daring Princess of Great Ning! How dare you provoke me! Before I punish the Emperor of Great Ning, I will punish you first!"
He scooped up the last few days of Great Ning in his arms and immediately pulled back the covers.
While turmoil raged within the Prince's palace, Xiliang was far from idle.
With the full cooperation of Xun Yu and others, the entire Xiliang began to operate at high speed, like a war machine. Supplies that had been prepared in various places were continuously being sent to the front line.
The all-out war has finally begun.
Such a commotion naturally alerted Ning Kun, whose face turned extremely grim as he looked at the densely packed army outside the city.
"Damn it, Lin Yi really thinks highly of me Ning Kun!"
"He only has seven legions in total, and five of them have been sent to me, bringing his total strength to over 500,000. We probably can't stop him on our own!"
He, who was always confident and arrogant, couldn't help but tremble at this moment. This was 500,000 elite troops, and Lin Yi was clearly determined to get him!
This guy is his own brother-in-law, yet he attacked so ruthlessly; he's determined to kill him.
Ning Kun said in a deep voice, " Xiaoyi, how long until our reinforcements arrive?"
"Half a day!" Wang Xiaoyi said through gritted teeth.
long time!
Ning Kun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Send people to conscript civilians to help. If we lose this battle, they won't have an easy time either!"
An army of 500,000 men attacking a city will inevitably pour in like a tidal wave. Once the war begins, supplies will flow in like water. If preparations are insufficient, the enemy will find a weakness!
Therefore, we have to conscript men!
Even without war, they are needed to prepare supplies; otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to hold the line.
"General, they probably won't give us any time!" Looking at the restless Xiliang army, Zhang Dajun said with a solemn expression.
The enemy's five legions have already assembled and are now practically at our gates. They certainly won't give us the chance to conscript soldiers!
Ning Kun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Send someone to urge the reinforcements. If Xuanyi City falls, then everything will be meaningless!"
He had already sent his wife and children away; now all he could do was fight desperately!
He personally went to inspect the supplies at each defensive point. At this point, there was no room for error; any mistake could be fatal.
After finishing his inspection, he looked towards the distant enemy forces and murmured, "Our only chance now is to destroy their grain depots. However, Lin Yi's Net covers the entire north; it won't be that easy!"
Besides, the other party probably won't give me another chance!
On the other side, Jiang Wei had already taken command of the five major army groups.
Seventy percent of the territory of the Great Wasteland Commandery has already fallen into the hands of the Xiliang. Ning Kun only has Xuanyi City left, but it is only a desperate struggle for survival!
Now it's time to deliver the final blow.
Jiang Wei glanced at Zhang Liao and the others, and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, do you have any suggestions?"
"You are the commander-in-chief appointed by our lord, so you are in charge of this battle!" Gongsun Zan and the others exchanged glances and gave their answer.
Xuanyi City is no small matter!
This battle will be tough; it will be a hard-fought war.
Xuanyi City was a war fortress that Ning Kun began to oversee the construction of after entering the Great Wasteland Commandery. He completely blocked the way at the pass of the Fishtail Mountain Range, making it impossible for cavalry to pass through.
The city walls are twice as thick as those of ordinary cities, and three times as high, making it quite difficult to breach.
The garrison numbers approximately 200,000, while the civilian population exceeds two million, making it a considerable challenge!
The only advantage is that the river here has dried up, so there's no moat, which allows for unrestrained charges.
"Speed is of the essence in war; this battle cannot be fought using conventional methods!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Jiang Wei's eyes. Although Ning Kun was the first target in this battle, he was not the main objective. The main objective was to open up the route south and then intercept Li Anlan!
Compared to Li Anlan, Ning Kun is like a younger brother.
Since that's the case, there's no time to waste with him; he's going to blow up Xuanyi City right now!
