A hint of a smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes; it wasn't that easy to get them to join forces.
Regardless of whether the two countries are willing, he certainly wouldn't allow it, so he had already infiltrated the Net organization. With the Net stirring up trouble in the middle, their desire to unite is simply wishful thinking.
He looked at Wang Yue and smiled, " Wang Yue, how's the Western infiltration going?"
An army marches on its stomach.
But there's one more step before that: intelligence must be readily available to ensure a perfect victory.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, take a look at this."
Wang Yue was prepared and handed Lin Yi a red roster, which was a top-secret file and could not be revealed to outsiders.
This list contains the names of those the Net has infiltrated into the Western Regions, as well as the forces they have supported. The Net's achievements this time are quite remarkable.
"So confident?"
Seeing his confident expression, a smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes as he took the roster and began to examine it.
The list inside made his eyes light up. Not only had this Net infiltrated more than 3,000 people, but it had also supported nearly 40 organizations of varying sizes. This was quite remarkable.
Lin Yi was overjoyed. He took a key from the side and handed it to Wang Yue, saying with a smile, "Haha, the Net did a good job this time. Go to the treasure vault and choose a couple of treasures."
In addition, I will reward you with a large mansion; let Cao Cao arrange it for you."
He was never stingy with rewards for meritorious officials. A capable assistant could do so much, and his value was far greater than that of these inanimate objects. So even if he lost some treasures, he would never lose out!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wang Yue was immediately in high spirits. He had indeed done the right thing this time. He said excitedly, "The West is actually in a lot of chaos right now. Apart from the Frostwest Empire and the Great West Empire, it's the Black Skull Army that's causing trouble everywhere."
However, they only knew how to burn, kill, and plunder, but they didn't know how to govern the local area. As a result, the people in their territory were filled with resentment, and many people turned to banditry, leading to rampant thievery in many places.
"Thanks to the strength of the Net), and the fact that the Emperor had previously given us many men with Western features, we achieved astonishing results in a short period of time."
With these resources, he supported dozens of large bandit gangs and cracked down on several forces, becoming a new troublemaker in the West.
"Ha ha!"
"In that case, wouldn't I become a man like the legendary bandit king?" Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, saying with great interest.
This is so interesting!
Wang Yue has stolen Li Anlan's methods from back then. That guy used the same trick to deal with Xiliang Commandery, but ended up turning himself into a bandit king.
However, the effect was much better than Li Anlan's, after all, Great Liang had much greater potential.
Moreover, the reason the infiltration was so successful was because they had found a large number of people with Western characteristics in the Western Regions, which made the infiltration work extremely simple.
Given these same characteristics, the rejection rate is much lower.

Jia Xu revealed a sinister smile and said strangely, " The Net is equipped with the most elite weapons and equipment of Great Liang, and with the assistance of the Divine Machine Battalion and the financial support of Great Liang, its development speed is probably even faster than that of the Black Skull Army."
This could very well lead to the ability to seize vast swathes of land in the West with just the manpower recruited by the Net!
This situation is absolutely brilliant, giving the Net Heaven) ample room to maneuver. If the Net controls hundreds or even thousands of bandit groups, their forces will be formidable.
If they change their outfits again later, it will be even more terrifying; this is no joke.
"Hmm, that makes sense!"
The group exchanged bewildered glances; this did indeed seem like a promising avenue.
After all, other bandits lack strong backers, but the gang controlled by Net is different; it's backed by a powerful nation, so their speed is bound to be unmatched.
The more chaotic the West is, the more suitable it is for people to use it as a trap to fish in Net.
With enough money and resources, hundreds of thief gangs could spring up in no time. Based on these supported forces, Great Liang could continuously infiltrate its forces.
While the Black Skull Army possesses considerable combat strength and destructive power, they clearly lack any semblance of civilization; in other words, they are incapable of management. To put it bluntly, they are nothing more than a large band of robbers.
Their weapons and equipment were all obtained through plunder, and their food likely came from raiding and animal husbandry. They were a replica of the Northern Region Barbarians, or even more savage.
In the short term, there might not be any problem.
However, given enough time, the Net of Heaven) might overtake the Black Skull Army and become the fourth powerful force on the western continent.
"Alright, that's just a minor trick after all!"
Lin Yi's lips twitched. This might actually be possible. However, relying solely on these methods was somewhat unrealistic, as it would take far too long.
Once I conquer the Zhennan Dynasty and remove the obstacles on my westward path, I can conquer the Frostwest Empire or the Great West Empire at will. Even if they join forces, they won't be able to stop me.
Therefore, instead of slowly cultivating a hidden power, it would be better to destroy the Zhennan Dynasty as soon as possible; this is the true path to victory.
He looked at Zhang Liao and said in a deep voice, " Wenyuan, coordinate the weapons from the Heavenly Craft Workshop and mobilize them for the Zhennan Dynasty. Especially the Red-Coat Cannon, send them all to the front lines. This time, I will annihilate the Zhennan Dynasty with overwhelming force!"
After the Zhennan Dynasty repeatedly reinforced its troops, its strength has now swelled to a million men. If they are given time to react, it will take some effort to wipe them out.
After more than a month of rest and recuperation, Lü Bu and his men had almost completely adapted to the high-altitude climate, and it was time to begin this battle.
Once the lightning strikes and crushes their main force, the remaining minions will pose little threat.
"I obey your decree!"
Zhang Liao's eyes gleamed; they were truly preparing to take action, and had even begun mobilizing strategic resources.
The Red-Coat Cannon are ready, it's time to fire a few shots!
"Your Majesty, we're finally going to take action against the Zhennan Dynasty! What follows is going to be a grand spectacle!" Guo Jia couldn't help but get excited.
From a strategic perspective, as long as the Zhennan Dynasty is eliminated as a central point, Great Liang can advance unimpeded into the west without worrying about its supplies being cut off.
However, once the Great Liang Zhennan Dynasty, it will be time to launch a general offensive against the west, and both empires will face the conquest of the Great Liang.
Such a grand scene, just thinking about it makes me incredibly excited.
Lin Yi nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, " The Zhennan Dynasty has been secretly developing and annexing the surrounding small countries. Now that their military strength has reached the million-strong level, it's time for us to make our move."
