" Zhang Fei, the Bear-and-Tiger General, is quite interesting!"

Upon seeing this reward, Lin Yi's eyes lit up. Ning Kun was quite lucky to have obtained such a powerful figure, someone known as a match for ten thousand men.

Although not Lü Bu, Zhang Fei is definitely among the top-tier military generals.

Perhaps it was because Ning Kun and Zhang Fei had several similarities—both died at the hands of their own people—that he rewarded Zhang Fei to himself.

As for his specific battle record, I won't go into details, but the fact that he fought Lü Bu one-on-one multiple times and always managed to escape unscathed already demonstrates his extraordinary strength. Moreover, he has the attribute of becoming stronger the longer he fights; once he goes berserk, his combat power multiplies.

Such a terrifying existence is something even Lü Bu must take seriously, or he will suffer a great loss.

There are no more than a handful of people in the entire Three Kingdoms period with this level of strength, so Zhang Fei should not be underestimated by anyone; he is an extremely powerful figure.

Moreover, with Zhang Fei's arrival, along with Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun, he had finally assembled the Five Tiger Generals.

It's a pity there's no complete system to enhance it, otherwise it would have taken off this time.

Then there are the 100,000 Danyang Soldiers. These Danyang Soldiers are renowned for their elite status, excelling in mountain warfare and various hard battles. These 100,000 elite troops are definitely not bad.

In addition, 100,000 civilians were also given to them. These were absolutely loyal people, and they could be used to stabilize the local area.

Ao Zang was somewhat unexpected, as he actually recruited over two thousand management talents, which was a pleasant surprise and allowed Xun Yu to breathe a sigh of relief.

A top-tier general appeared in Xuanyi City, along with 100,000 Danyang Soldiers and 100,000 civilians. This was a good haul.

"Report!"

"General Chen Sishui, the Wu Da, has sent an urgent report from eight hundred li away: Lin Yi's five legions attacked Great Wasteland Commandery Great Wasteland Commandery, and have now breached it, crossing the Fishtail Mountain Range and heading straight for Great Wind Commandery!"

The urgent battle report, delivered by express courier, entered the imperial court, instantly sending shivers down the spine of the entire palace.

"Holy crap, Lin Yi has really rebelled!" Tan Cheng, one of the ministers, swayed in shock, almost wetting himself in fear.

He had a grudge against Lin Yi, and he had often sown discord in front of Li Anlan. But now Lin Yi had directly conquered the Great Wasteland Commandery and even left the Fishtail Mountain Range.

This is a huge problem!

If Lin Yi successfully storms into the capital, I'm afraid I'll die a terrible death.

"Something terrible has happened!"

The others also wore solemn expressions; everyone knew what it meant to have left the Fishtail Mountain Range.

Lin Yi could directly lead his troops south, bypassing Great Wind Commandery and Great Cang Commandery along the way, and march straight to the capital.

"What!"

Upon hearing this news, Li Anlan felt as if his mind had been struck by a heavy hammer. His vision went black, and the memorial in his hand slipped to the ground, as if the last bit of strength had been drained from him.

But he dared not fall; if he fell now, everything would be over.

That damned Lin Yi is utterly rebellious! It was bad enough that Wang Yining had already issued a proclamation to slander him, but now he's actually sending troops! Is he trying to rebel?!

He forced himself to stay alert and said gravely, "Hand over the memorial!"

The accompanying eunuch quickly retrieved the memorial and handed it to Li Anlan, then picked up the memorial that had fallen to the ground.

"An army of five hundred thousand!"

"What a formidable Prince of Xiliang! He's truly a man of hidden strength, actually mobilizing an army of 500,000 to attack Ning Kun!"

Upon seeing this number, Li Anlan felt like vomiting blood. What the hell was going on? They still had 500,000 troops after wiping out the Northern Barbarians?

You should know that Lin Yi has quite a few men in Great Ning Port. Just how many troops does this guy have? Could it be that Lin Rusong has handed over all his men to his son and is just bluffing on his own?

And this Ning Kun is also a complete waste. He managed to compress an army of 300,000 into Xuanyi City, and in the end, they were annihilated in a single day. It's utterly All Under Heaven.

But now is not the time to assign blame; we must stop Lin Yi's army from advancing south, or the consequences will be unimaginable!

"My esteemed ministers, Lin Yi has openly rebelled, and his army of 300,000 is marching south. Do you have any countermeasures?" He glanced at his men and recounted the events, but he had dealt a blow to Lin Yi's forces.

" Ning Kun's entire army has been wiped out, yet Xiliang still has 300,000 troops!!!"

Everyone gasped in shock. This was Great Ning's most capable fighter, and he had been killed just like that, with his entire army wiped out.

That's not all; after Lin Yi destroyed Ning Kun, he still had an army of 300,000!

That basically wiped out Ning Kun without taking any damage!

For a moment, the assembled officials fell silent, terrified by the fighting prowess of Xiliang.

That's fucking amazing!

According to international practice, it is usually the emperor who calls upon the vassal kings of various regions to come to the capital to serve the emperor, but now all the vassal kings have been eliminated by the emperor, leaving only Lin Yi and his son.

If we send them to defend the emperor, he will probably be captured.

this...

This is tricky!

Normally things are fine, but things aren't peaceful in the country right now; the Emperor hasn't yet shaken off his identity Northern Barbarians barbarian.

This is going to cause trouble!

Prime Minister Zhang Zhiwei stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, we are now plagued by internal strife and Lin Yi Yi's rebellion, which has sent troops south. We must resort to extraordinary measures and conscript soldiers again!"

Given the current dire situation, a complete collapse is likely to occur if severe measures are not taken.

Amidst the widespread public discontent, incredible miracles occurred in many places, with a divine statue emerging from the earth, bearing the striking resemblance to Lin Yi, the King of Xiliang.

This has led to the popular belief that Lin Yi is a man of destiny, and if this is not stopped, the consequences could be dire.

Li Anlan took a deep breath and agreed with Zhang Zhiwei's point of view. He said in a deep voice, "Issue the decree to conscript another 500,000 troops to reinforce Chen Sishui in the north. We absolutely cannot allow Lin Yi to go south."

"Gulp!"

Everyone couldn't help but swallow hard. Conscripting 500,000 soldiers to march north was simply too difficult.

It's too late to recruit soldiers now!

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid..." Grand Commandant Qin Li said with a troubled expression and a bitter look.

Due to the tense situation, he was transferred back to the capital, and was replaced by the Third Prince, Li Yunmiao.

He had initially breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he could finally get some rest, but he never expected to run into such a big mess as soon as he returned.

The Prince of Xiliang has rebelled!

The Emperor wants to send more troops, but that's incredibly difficult. The previous deployment of 300,000 troops was already the limit; to deploy another 500,000 would be harder than climbing to heaven.

Unless we recruit soldiers from much farther places, but that's probably very difficult!

Li Anlan glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "A generous reward will surely attract brave men. If the capital cannot complete the conscription, then go to Shu Region and Jiangling. Tell them that anyone who makes great contributions on the battlefield will be directly ennobled as a marquis by me, allowing them to rise to the top in one step!"
