Zhao Yun slew seven generals in succession and trampled three commanderies beneath his cavalry

Wuning Commandery!

After a day of cleanup, the chaotic situation in Wuning Commandery was instantly brought back to normal, and peace returned.

For this purpose, Net mobilized more than 3,000 people, worked all night, killed more than 3,000 people, wiped out more than a dozen large and small forces, killed three aristocratic families, and eliminated some potential threats.

The filth was completely eradicated, but no harm was done to ordinary people, which allowed Wuning Commandery to quickly return to peace.

Although the people were still somewhat fearful, they felt relieved and even a little expectant, because the Prince of Xiliang had promised that they would receive a share of the new batch of potato seeds.

"Very good, you did a great job!"

Lin Yi nodded slightly. Wang Yue had done a good job, accurately and quickly, directly resolving the chaos in Wuning Commandery.

"Haha, this is all thanks to our lord. After hearing that we are his men, many people in Wuning Commandery didn't resist at all, and even sent people to welcome us!" Wang Yue said with a smile.

The reason why Net acted so quickly this time is because Net had already laid out its plans in Wuning Commandery.

It's obvious who needs to be removed; they're already on the list. Now all we need to do is take action and remove them, which naturally won't take much time.

However, the people of Wuning Commandery welcomed them in, which surprised him and was quite unexpected.

Lin Yi nodded slightly and smiled, "The reason why enemies usually fight to the death is because they are afraid that the enemy will go on a killing spree after the city falls, so they have no choice but to resist."

But if we don't go on a killing spree, people will take chances and naturally won't take risks to resist.

If I promote Wang Yunze to the position of prefect, their will to resist will weaken even more; it will simply be a change of regime.

This time, he killed Shangguan Yun and other ringleaders. In fact, he did not even mistreat the captured soldiers. He also appointed Wang Yunze as the prefect of Wuning Commandery. It can be said that he was extremely benevolent and righteous.

To put it simply, it's about setting an example so that the world can see the benevolence and tolerance of Xiliang.

If even someone who surrenders to Xiliang can thrive, the people of Great Ning will have less resistance. This is far more reliable than an army of hundreds of thousands.

For ordinary people, it doesn't matter who they follow; Xiliang is one of their own anyway, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with it!

"Haha, those who act justly gain abundant support, while those who act unjustly find themselves isolated. My lord, you have truly subdued the enemy without a fight!" Guo Jia nodded and laughed.

While our lord's move may seem ineffective, it actually significantly reduced the will to resist in other regions, and in some respects, it was even more reliable than an army of hundreds of thousands!

Without the support of the people, a few soldiers are just a figurehead.

Upon hearing the name Wang Yunze, Qu Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Speaking of this Wang Yunze, that guy is ruthless. He vehemently criticized Li Anlan in the newspapers and even listed Li Anlan as a traitor to the nation."

They say he plunged the entire Great Ning into chaos, and some even swore they would never share the same sky with such a shameless person as Li Anlan!

This completely shattered his worldview.

When scholars lose all shame, they become practically invulnerable; they can even utter such words.

Guo Jia chuckled and pointed at Xu Chu's large hammer, saying, "This was obtained by our Xu Dachui, wielding the hammer. How could Wang Yunze dare to speak nonsense? Every word must be precious!"

"That kid's interesting. He says he's unwilling, but he writes damn fast!" Xu Chu blushed and scratched his head.

Hahaha!

Everyone burst into laughter. The life and death of the Wang Clan were in their lord's hands, so how could Wang Yunze not write faster? As for his verbal reluctance, it was probably just his last bit of pride.

Lin Yi couldn't help but smile. The reason he kept Wang Yunze around was actually because he was a smart man.

Smart people are more efficient at getting things done; they know what they should and shouldn't do.

As long as Xiliang remains strong, he will be Xiliang's most loyal weapon.

"Report!"

"General Zhao Zilong killed seven enemy generals, including Wang He, Zhang Tao, and Wu Hui, in Hanchuan Commandery. Subsequently, 50,000 cavalrymen trampled through three commanderies, causing Hanchuan, Pingyao, and Yuzhou to surrender without resistance."

"General Zhao is now heading straight for Liangshan Pass; good news will likely arrive soon!"

Holy crap!

Upon hearing this sudden news, Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Seven generals slain in succession, and his horse trampled three counties! What a fine Zhao Zilong of Changshan! He has not disappointed me!"

This is truly good news; it's as if Liangshan Pass has been handed over to us.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun was so powerful, killing seven enemy generals in succession and leading 50,000 cavalry to conquer three counties, forcing the counties of Hanchuan, Pingyao, and Yuzhou to surrender.

In this way, the north was basically secured.

With pressure from both Northern Liang and the Western Regions, Liangshan Pass was already on the verge of collapse. Now that Zhao Yun has actually gotten himself injured, it would be strange if Liangshan Pass didn't crumble.

In this way, his father and Pang De would soon arrive, and he could complete the feat of besieging the capital with a million-strong army.

"This effeminate Zhao kid is actually so powerful, taking down seven generals in a row. I really didn't expect that." Xu Chu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but marvel.

He had never witnessed Zhao Yun's martial prowess before, and he never expected him to unleash such power so suddenly. This was truly a great achievement.

"Yes, Zilong has rendered a great service; Liangshan Pass may very well collapse because of it!"

A hint of joy appeared on Guo Jia's face. With the fall of Liangshan Pass, the entire north would fall into the hands of his lord.

Judging by the timeline, good news will probably arrive soon.

"Report!"

Soon, a commotion came from outside, and then a woman hurriedly walked in. This woman was none other than Yingge, who was in charge of the carrier pigeons of the Prince of Xiliang.

" Yingge, what brings you here?" Lin Yi asked, frowning slightly.

She's supposed to be guarding the Prince's residence, why would she suddenly come over? Has something serious happened?

Yingge said in a deep voice, "My lord, this morning a carrier pigeon from the southern chieftain flew back, along with several important intelligence reports. Yingge, to prevent any mistakes, I personally delivered them!"

The carrier pigeons of the southern chieftains?

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi instantly understood. This was because the Southern Tusi's communication link was between the Southern Tusi and the Prince of Xiliang.

Now that I've arrived in Wuning Commandery, this carrier pigeon doesn't have an automatic recognition function, so it can only fly to the Prince's Mansion. This thing still has limitations; it would be better if the carrier pigeon were a little smarter.

However, the fact that Yingge delivered it personally instead of using a carrier pigeon suggests that something big must have happened.

He took the note, glanced at it, and couldn't help but laugh.
