Damn it!
Shangguan Yun wished he could kick him away. This bastard, are you trying to avenge me or guide the enemy?
"Haha, so that's where it was!"
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, and he headed straight for Shangguan Yun. The people behind him couldn't help but get excited and followed suit.
This is a real catch; my promotion and fortune depend on him.
Pfft!
The few thousand people who were originally left were torn apart by the crowd with glowing eyes and headed straight for Shangguan Yun.
Shangguan Yun's expression changed drastically. He didn't care about his subordinates anymore and immediately spurred his horse and fled.
If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid I'll die without a burial place.
But at that moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot through the air and, to everyone's horror, pierced the throat of Shangguan Yun, who was fleeing at full speed.
Grunt!
Shangguan Yun fell off his warhorse, swallowed hard, and finally collapsed to the ground, powerless.
Zhang Fei, who was in pursuit, froze. He glanced back at the archer and his face turned green. Huang Zhong had gotten there first!
" Yide, you flatter me!"
A smile flashed in Huang Zhong's eyes. He rode his horse directly to Shangguan Yun's corpse, chopped off his head with a single stroke, and then held it up.
Wow, the general is an expert archer!
The Youzhou Legion cheered instantly, for their general's arrow had completely reversed the Qiankun.
Zhang Fei's lips twitched, and he chuckled dryly, "Next time I'll learn a spear-throwing technique, let's see how you steal my head then." This was a golden opportunity, what a pity.
However, while the major contributions are gone, the minor ones still remain.
Without stopping, he headed straight ahead; taking over the entire Wuning City was the only sensible thing to do now.
" Shangguan Yun is dead?"
When Lin Yi entered Wuning City, the army of Da Great Ning had been wiped out. Except for a few who knelt down and surrendered and survived, the rest were all killed.
There is no mercy on the battlefield, and little time for you to think or hesitate.
For those who don't know the times, the best option is to eliminate them. That's the greatest mercy you can show them, so he had no objection. After all, there are always deaths in war.
The death of Shangguan Yun is actually a good thing, as Wuning Commandery has lost its leader.
"He was shot through the throat by Huang Zhong's arrow and died on the spot..." The visitor was very excited and began to recount the battle at the front.
Lin Yi nodded slightly. As expected of Huang Zhong, who could hit a willow leaf from a hundred paces, his archery skills were indeed superb. He was able to shoot the fleeing Shangguan Yun with a sharp arrow. This could be considered a worthy death.
It would be truly tragic to die at the hands of a lowly henchman.
He said in a deep voice, "Let him be buried. Also, record the merits of Huang Zhong's legion and reward them all at once." He meant what he said; since he had spoken, he would naturally reward them!
His gaze swept across several battlefields, the ground stained crimson with blood, indicating that many had perished.
Looking at the corpses of the Great Ning scattered all over the ground, he couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, if it weren't for Li Anlan's perverse actions and his inability to bear seeing Xiliang, I really wouldn't have come to this!"
That's the truth!
If Li Anlan hadn't been pushing him so hard, he would be attacking the Western Regions and pursuing the Great Ocean Plan right now, instead of focusing on the Great Ning Dynasty.
However, Li Anlan was determined to destroy Northern Liang and Xiliang, which was unacceptable to him, so the only option was to destroy him.
Since you won't give me a way out, I'll have no choice but to rebel and declare myself emperor.
Guo Jia nodded and smiled, "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand. Since Li Anlan is not good enough to be emperor, it's only right that our lord takes the reins. If our lord leads an army to attack Great Ning with honor and dignity, even if Li Anlan loses, he can only blame his weakness!"
The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is a fundamental principle of nature.
Even if Li Anlan loses, he can't blame his lord. It can only be said that he wasn't strong enough or wise enough, so naturally he should abdicate and give way to a more capable person.
"The strategist is right. Li Anlan can't defeat the Northern Barbarians, so he's always causing trouble for Xiliang. He's just a disgusting bastard!" Xu Chu said with a look of disgust.
He wasn't one for many schemes, but he knew who his own people were and who his enemies were.
People like Li Anlan who side with outsiders are despicable!
Zhao Yun's lips twitched. His upbringing didn't allow him to swear, so he could only give Xu Chu a thumbs up. This guy's words may be rough, but his reasoning is sound!
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing their words, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh and nodded, saying, "Yes, he's just not strong enough. If my Xiliang weren't strong enough, my Lin family father and son probably wouldn't have had a good ending either."
Ultimately, it's just a matter of the strong preying on the weak!
Now that Wuning Commandery is basically in our hands, the next step is to march into the capital and completely eliminate Li Anlan.
At this moment, Wang Yue hurriedly walked over.
"My lord, Gan Ning has already broken through the lower reaches of Wuning Commandery, and several important towns in the surrounding area have fallen into our hands. Gan Ning is heading this way to provide reinforcements."
"Furthermore, Chen Dao's White Feather Soldiers has defeated Li Ke, the Prefect of Wuning, killing 50,000 enemy soldiers. They have now begun to clear out the forces surrounding Wuning City."
Upon hearing this news, Lin Yi's eyes lit up. These two guys hadn't disappointed him; they had actually started wiping out the surrounding forces.
He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Let them continue to clear out these towns and villages. As long as these people are willing to submit to Xiliang, Xiliang will not pursue them in the future!"
The people of Wuning Commandery are just ordinary people. To them, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, so there's no need for them to exterminate them.
On the contrary, because of sweet potatoes and potatoes, they have now become the best choice in the minds of the people, so it is also possible to take the opportunity to win over the hearts of the people.
"Report! Wang Yunze, the Prefectural Administrator of Wuning Commandery, requests an audience!"
" Wang Yunze?"
Upon hearing this name, Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. This guy had previously revealed information about the Net in his letter, and now that he was coming to see him, he probably wanted to escape this calamity.
This guy comes from a prestigious family; it's not so easy for him to save his life in front of me.
How many people?
He came alone, but he carried something in his hand—a human head!
Heads?
Lin Yi was slightly taken aback, then immediately became interested and laughed, "Interesting. He's bringing a head to see me. Let him in!"
Whose head is this? How could it give him the confidence to come alone?
" Wang Yunze of the Wang Clan greets Your Highness!" Wang Yunze said respectfully as he entered.
Lin Yi glanced at him and laughed, " Wang Yunze, you are a subject of the Great Ning, yet you come to see me now. Doesn't that seem a bit inappropriate?"
No!
Wang Yunze shook his head and said solemnly, " The Prince of Xiliang is a sage destined by Heaven, and will be the ruler of the entire All Under Heaven in the future. I, Wang Yunze, am but a mortal, and naturally know what it means to follow the trend of the times. That is why I prepared a gift for Your Highness!"
"A head?"
"A head!"
Wang Yunze nodded, took the head out of the box, and placed it on the table to the side.
He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, this is the head of Li Ruyu, the current Imperial Clan Minister and the Emperor's own uncle!"
