Forehead!
Wang Yue's lips twitched slightly. His lord's reasoning was still so fresh and unconventional, with such a unique perspective.
Even if you were to offer money to buy it, would anyone actually dare to accept it? You'd probably be better off dead. If Li Anlan had done that, the Great Liang wouldn't even need to intervene; the land would already be engulfed in chaos.
Only our lord would dare to do something like this; no one else could protect him!
Cao Cao was overjoyed and immediately agreed, solemnly saying, "Your Majesty, rest assured, if they dare to disobey, it is surely because they yearn for the methods of Li Anlan of the old dynasty, and I will absolutely not tolerate it!"
This is a good thing, for the country and the people. What's wrong with being an executioner?
"Okay, go down!"
Seeing the excited Aman, Lin Yi nodded slightly and told him to go and do his work.
To be honest, at this moment he actually found Aman somewhat cute; he was really crazy.
He then looked at Wang Yue beside him and laughed, " Cao Cao and Sima Yi marched south together, but they didn't fight, did they?"
ah?
Wang Yue was completely bewildered. Although he didn't know why his lord was asking this question, he still replied, "Your Majesty, these two do have some issues. They act as if they're enemies the moment they meet, and they can't stand each other."
One calls the other Cao Aman, and the other calls the other an old schemer; they must have a deep-seated grudge!
Hahaha!
Lin Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was only because the two of them didn't share any previous memories that Sima Yi would probably have killed Cao Cao by now. And if Cao Cao knew what would happen after his death, he would probably beat Sima Yi to death as well.
The reason it's called that is probably because it's inherently incompatible with the local culture.
Fine, let these two just have their love-hate relationship.
He instructed, "Next, a large number of reforms will be carried out across the country, which means the integration of the whole country, such as standardizing the written language and the gauge of carts. All of this requires the full cooperation of the Net!"
Anyone who dares to obstruct you will be killed without mercy!
If necessary, troops from the border governor's office can be mobilized to suppress the rebellion; stability should be the primary concern.
If things are unstable, then kill them!
Since a massive transformation is underway, and four different factions are to be integrated, some deaths are inevitable. This integration will ensure that we can maintain a unified state in the future.
Today, the Great Liang has more than 500 counties and more than 50 governorates, making its territory absolutely vast.
If he doesn't use severe punishment, it will be impossible to please everyone, so he won't hold back.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Net has been expanded again, reaching a strength of 100,000 people and more than 30,000 strongholds nationwide. Moreover, our Little Blue Pigeon has been successfully bred, and will provide important assistance to the intelligence of the Great Liang in the future!" Wang Yue nodded and said solemnly.
very good!
Lin Yi was quite satisfied with Wang Yue's work; since its establishment, the Net hadn't encountered many problems.
The only time something went wrong was with Liu Ziyi. This guy sealed off the entire city, and by watching the pigeons and unfamiliar faces, he found traces of the Net. You can't blame him for that.
Afterwards, Net blew up the enemy's prison and killed the enemy, thus avenging their great grudge.
With them overseeing the overall situation, there are basically no problems.
That leaves only Jiangling Commandery, and this problem must be solved.
At this moment, an imperial edict bearing the Heirloom Seal of the Realm was sent directly to Jiangling Commandery and handed over to Gongsun Zan.
Upon reading the imperial edict, Gongsun Zan's face lit up with joy, and he exclaimed, "The Emperor has decreed a general offensive against Jiangling Commandery!"
call out!
Signal fireworks shot into the sky, then exploded throughout Jiangling Commandery. Gongsun Zan, together with Gan Ning, mobilized 600,000 troops and marched in a mighty force toward the edge of Jiangling Commandery.
Boom!
After a series of explosions, the gates of Jiangling Commandery were blasted open from the front, and the army charged straight in.
On the other side, Guan Yu's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, " Huang Gai, light the attack signal! We're responding to this general offensive; this will likely be the final battle for the unification of Great Liang!"
call out!
After lighting the fuse, flames shot into the sky, and Huang Gai, carrying his broadsword, rushed straight to the front of the battlefield.
After waiting for so many days, it's finally time to take action. If we're slow now, we'll really be letting ourselves down.
In a short time, nearly 700,000 troops launched a general offensive against Jiangling Commandery, and the battle situation changed dramatically. Jiangling Commandery, which could have stubbornly held on, was instantly riddled with holes.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they swept through two outer prefecture cities of Jiangling Commandery and then headed straight for the Jiangling Commandery government.
" Lin Yi, do you have to be so resolute?"
Seeing the overwhelming enemy approaching, Li Qiankun and his mother on the city wall turned extremely pale. Lin Yi was actually launching a full-scale attack, which meant he didn't agree to their surrender.
"Mother, didn't we surrender? Why is Lin Yi still launching a full-scale attack on us?" Li Qiankun's throat went dry, and he couldn't help but say bitterly.
This is fucking too difficult. Am I not even willing to surrender?
Looking at the ferocious enemies below, Shangguan Yan said bitterly, "If we were just surrendering, Lin Yi would naturally be happy to accept it, but he still made a move, probably because..."
Snap!
Li Qiankun's heart was broken, and he instantly understood his mother's meaning.
If it were a surrender, the Great Liang would naturally welcome it, but the most crucial issue is that they cannot tolerate their former crown prince.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, since Lin Yi doesn't want to let me go, then this Crown Prince will see how he breaks through Jiangling City. This place is practically an impregnable fortress!"
Boom!
The next moment, a loud bang was heard, and a huge hole appeared in the west of Jiangling City, which was originally known as an impregnable fortress. Then, a dense swarm of enemy troops rushed in from the outside.
"It's over!"
Li Qiankun's heart sank to the bottom. This was probably really the end. The impregnable walls of Jiangling Commandery had actually been breached.
In doing so, they lost their only advantage.
This horrific scene caused the battle to collapse like a house of cards. Soldiers who had no intention of resisting in the first place laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground.
"Stop killing us, we surrender!"
"We were forced into this situation. We sought refuge with the Great Liang, with the great Emperor of the Great Liang."
"They're all on our side."
News has been coming in these days. Even though Li Qiankun has been trying to suppress the news, they know that Great Ning is basically beyond saving, and it would be foolish to sacrifice anything more in vain.
" Great Ning is dead!"
Watching Gongsun Zan slowly advance, Shangguan Yan closed her eyes and sighed, "Have them lay down their weapons. Let's stop making pointless sacrifices!"
At that moment, she actually felt a sense of relief, as if she could finally be free.
"Put down your weapons!"
The White Horse Volunteers charged straight in and completely took control of the situation.
Seeing Li Qiankun's defiant expression, Gongsun Zan slowly walked up and calmly said, "Crown Prince, times have changed. Your so-called impregnable fortress is nothing but a pile of rotten stones!"
