"Presumptuous!"
Upon hearing her words, Zhao Gao's face darkened, and he angrily said, " Princess Anne, this is not the Frostwest Empire. Don't bring disaster to your country because of your ignorance!"
She's just a Western princess, how dare she be so presumptuous? She's practically courting death.
Once His Majesty has free time, the very existence of this country will be at his mercy. This Princess Anne is truly ungrateful.
Forehead!
Princess Anne's face stiffened, and she secretly glanced at Lin Yi, who stood beside her with an indifferent expression. Her heart sank.
She could disregard Zhao Gao's threats, but if she truly angered Lin Yi and he were to ally with the Great West Empire, then something terrible would happen.
She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Anne misspoke."
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Even though she's a princess, here she's still just an ordinary person.
Anne felt bitter inside. She had thought this marriage was a sure thing, but she never expected it to be so difficult in the end.
In Princess Anne's imagination, after entering the East, she would be adored by thousands, and Emperor Lin Yi of the Great Liang would be captivated by her stunning good looks.
But she never expected things to turn out this way, which broke her down a bit.
First, he was neglected, then he was abused by the emperor's woman, and later he was threatened by a violent saintess. It was like a level-based game.
"Hehe!"
Lin Yi slowly walked towards her, pinched her fair and delicate chin, and said with a smile, " Anne, you have to understand that this is Great Liang. Even if your father came, he would have to lie down."
You need to be obedient here, or the consequences will be severe, definitely not what you want!
Since he was determined to carry out his conquest to the end, there was no such thing as an ally in this world. Therefore, he really had no intention of paying attention to Princess Anne's so-called political marriage.
The current extreme tug-of-war, with both the Great West Empire and the Frostwest Empire escalating their efforts, may be the best option.
As for Princess Anne, it's better to just get her for free!
"You!"
Hearing such domineering words, Princess Anne's heart trembled, and she even felt a little flustered, no longer daring to look directly at the man in front of her.
At the same time, a domineering figure appeared in her heart. This was a man she had never met before. This man was sometimes humorous and magnanimous, and sometimes extremely domineering. He was a contradiction in himself.
This man also made her grit her teeth; he simply didn't treat a princess like a woman.
"Your Majesty, news has arrived from the Yamata Nation!"
Just then, Zhao Yun's voice suddenly rang out from outside.
With business at hand, Lin Yi slowly released Princess Anne from his grasp, then kissed her deeply.
A woman of this caliber is not suitable for testing the emperor; doing so would only lead to trouble.
ah?
A strong masculine scent hit her, making Princess Anne stiffen. The kiss came so suddenly that she wasn't prepared at all; how could he just kiss her like that?
Seeing the man's smugness, she was so angry she wanted to bite him.
However, Lin Yi's body reacted so quickly that he dodged in an instant, casually giving her a quick kiss on the lips, and said with a smile, "Woman, I have important business to attend to, you may leave now."
"What about the alliance between the Great Liang and the Frostwest Empire?" Princess Anne asked angrily.
"Let's talk about it later!" Lin Yi said with a smile.
Aaaaaah!
Princess Anne is going crazy! You kissed and touched her, and then you said you'd talk about it later.
You bastard, you're trying to take advantage of me and then leave me all alone.
She glared at him angrily, "I'm not leaving yet, let's see if you can still ignore me."
Lin Yi ignored her. Since this woman would never be able to return to the Frostwest Empire, he didn't care whether she leaked secrets or not, and simply let Zhao Yun in.
Zhao Yun arrived quickly, accompanied by Xun Yu, Gongsun Zan, and others; they had all come together.
It seems something big has happened.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Upon seeing Lin Yi, Xun Yu and the others quickly bowed.
"You may rise, no need for formalities!"
Lin Yi waved his hand, looked at Xun Yu and the others, and smiled, " Wenruo, you all came together, it seems there's some big news. Is there progress in the campaign against the Yamata Nation?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhao Yun glanced at Princess Anne, and seeing that Lin Yi didn't say anything more, he spoke directly.
Yamata Nation?
Princess Anne's eyes widened. This seemed to be the country that Great Liang was about to conquer. This was breaking news, and she had to listen carefully to see how Great Liang was behaving.
Zhao Yun nodded, took out the intelligence from his pocket, and handed it to Zhao Gao.
The latter dared not be negligent and respectfully presented it to Lin Yi on the dragon throne, then examined it.
Sun Jian, the governor of the Min River, has arrived at Eight Gods Island and subsequently launched a five-pronged attack on the Yamata Nation. They have already conquered more than twenty islands!
[General Ran Min, who conquered the west, massacred the Eight Gods Island, destroying the Eight Gods Island's spiritual symbol Eight-Headed Serpent.]
[ Sun Jian conquered seven islands in succession, killing over 30,000 enemies, and headed straight for the capital of the Yamata Nation.]
[ The Yamata Nation has sent an envoy to plead with the Great Liang to withdraw its troops!]
Looking at these messages, Lin Yi couldn't help but nod slightly and smile, " Sun Jian hasn't disappointed me. It seems the progress is rapid; I'm afraid we'll hear good news in just a few days!"
He handed the intelligence to Xun Yu and the others, letting them examine it themselves. After reading it, they couldn't help but smile.
Guo Jia couldn't help but laugh and exclaimed, " Sun Jian is quite a remarkable man. He actually saw through the weakness of the Yamata Nation at a glance. If he were to send an army of 400,000 to sweep through the Yamata Nation, it would take him nearly half a month just to conquer those few thousand islands."
His current strategy of dividing his forces for attack may seem risky, but in reality, it is a sure thing.
The enemy's forces were scattered, and even after the Great Liang, they were still an obstacle the Liang could not overcome. They could only be gradually whittled down, which also saved a great deal of time.
Pushing them one by one would take too much time just for getting them on and off the boat, which would be too slow.
His division of the army into five routes, and his subsequent deployment of commanders to launch flexible attacks, undoubtedly maximized the use of military strength without any waste.
However, this would probably put the Yamata Nation in a difficult position, as they would likely be unsure of whom to provide support, even if they wanted to.
You support the left, and the right gets attacked. You support the right, and you get attacked from behind. It's fucking impossible to defend against.
Gongsun Zan nodded, unable to help but sigh, " Sun Jian has no martial ethics; he's bullying a primary school student! How could the current Yamata Nation possibly be a match for him? They'll be slowly devoured. That so-called Emperor must be the most desperate of all!"
Given Great Liang's current military strength and numerical superiority, it's a situation where the father is beating the son.
The current situation facing the Yamata Nation is that they cannot defeat the enemy even if they divide their forces, and they are even less likely to defeat them if they join forces. They also have nowhere to run. This is absolutely the most terrifying thing.
That Emperor kid is probably scared to death.
