Lin Yi glanced at her, then ignored Princess Anne.
His sights were set on the Zhennan Dynasty. The Yamata Nation's plans were proceeding smoothly, and its destruction was only a matter of time.
If Sun Jian, Ran Min, Yu Jin Gan Ning, Yue Jin couldn't conquer the Yamata Nation, then they wouldn't deserve their titles; their strength has been proven.
Throughout thousands of years of history, only a handful of people have left their mark on history. They are among the best, and therefore, they are definitely not comparable to ordinary people.
Rather than expending too many resources, it would be better to shift the focus to the Zhennan Dynasty.
Now is a perfect opportunity to strike. Before the Frostwest Empire and the Zhennan Dynasty can react, we should destroy the Zhennan Dynasty. Without the Zhennan Dynasty, there will be no more constraints.
In that vast West, no one could stop him anymore.
After nearly half a month of planning, it's time to reap the rewards.
Now is probably the time when the Zhennan Dynasty is most relaxed in its vigilance, and that is the time for us to make our move.
He glanced at Zhang Liao and instructed, " The Yamata Nation is now on the right track. Let Sima Yi and the others get started as well. Zhang Liao, you personally oversee this matter, and ensure that any supplies are provided immediately!"
Speed is of the essence in warfare, and this battle in the southwest was precisely about speed.
"I obey your decree!"
Zhang Liao's eyes gleamed with excitement. This was another big move; he had to get a piece of the action too.
kindness!
After giving instructions to Jia Xu and the others, Lin Yi returned directly to the inner palace, leaving everything to them.
The system rewards kept flashing through Ran Min's mind, a dazzling array of lights that were almost overwhelming. Clearly, Ran Min and the others hadn't been idle, as the rewards were piling up.
He hadn't paid attention to it before, but now that Yamamoto Isoku gotten Yang Xiu, he opened it on a whim.
After seeing the contents, a hint of disdain flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.
The rewards weren't particularly surprising. Aside from some relatively unknown junior officers, there were nearly 80,000 Yellow Turban Army, which demonstrates the fighting strength of the Yamata Nation army.
After killing them, all that appeared were Yellow Turban Army, not even elite troops.
He sneered, "I thought you were so powerful, daring to provoke my Great Liang Empire. You're nothing special!"
Even worse than Yamamoto Isoku just now. At least that guy managed to summon Yang Xiu, a figure who is worthy of being remembered in history. Even though he only appeared for a few rounds, he still had talent.
Yang Xiu was actually quite good, but unfortunately, he lacked political acumen and emotional intelligence. He had a lot of talent, but in the end, he was killed by Cao Cao, which was somewhat due to his lack of pragmatism. However, he was good at literature, which was a good choice to use to praise the Great Liang.
It seems that only by killing a few key figures can we hope to discover even stronger talents. I wonder what the reward will be after taking down the Emperor.
Soon, thanks to the propaganda of the Hundred Riders and the Net, the war in the Yamata Nation was brought to the attention of the people of Great Liang, who couldn't help but get excited.
"Goodness, I thought we'd have to wait a month or two, but we got news so quickly."
"I heard they've already wiped out over twenty islands. As expected of our Great Liang, that's fast!"
"It's said that the entire population of the Yamata Nation are pirates, committing arson, murder, and looting everywhere, and no one can do anything about it. But this time they've set their sights on the Great Liang; they've really lost their minds!"
"It is said that the 400,000-strong army attacked in five routes, sweeping through everything in its path; their strength was simply outrageous!"
"Unfortunately, the Yamata Nation has over four thousand islands; it'll probably be a long battle."
"What Yamata Nation? That's my Great Liang's Yingzhou!"
The people of Great Liang were overjoyed, dancing with excitement. Great Liang was winning battles every day, and the people felt incredibly proud.
Who can be as powerful as the Great Liang? Compared to it, the former Great Ning was nothing but a pile of shit.
Yingzhou?
At this moment, a young man asked, somewhat bewildered, "What's going on? How come the Yamata Nation is actually our territory? Is this for real?" He had lived for over twenty years and had never heard of such a thing.
"Nonsense!"
A young man next to him immediately changed color and angrily said, "Nonsense! How can you say something like that if it's not true? Haven't you read the book called ' Basic Annals of Yingzhou '? The Yamata Nation belongs to my Great Liang!"
It's just because the previous emperor forgot about it that it was taken over by that so-called emperor! They've stolen our territory!
He took a book out of his pocket and handed it to the young man, who picked it up and his eyes lit up.
Basic Annals of Yingzhou
The gist is that in ancient times, a great regime emerged in the Central Plains Central Plains, sweeping across the four seas and eight wastelands, and eclipsing the universe.
At that time, the ocean also belonged to the Central Plains. Until one day, a prince named Ying, who was one of the leaders, was enfeoffed to that land, so that land was called Yingzhou.
As time passed, it was occupied by the overseas barbarian Yamata Nation, who then proclaimed himself Emperor.
This content thrilled everyone; they had no idea their ancestors were so powerful—they had conquered the entire world!
A student from the Imperial Academy couldn't help but stand up and roared, "A barbarian from overseas dares to call himself Emperor? Who gave him the courage? This should be given to our great Emperor of Great Liang!"
He's just a Little Wang from an island nation, isn't he afraid of spouting nonsense and making a fool of himself?
"As expected, Yingzhou is ours too. We must take it back. How can we let others occupy it?" Another person slammed his fist on the table and roared.
Seeing the group of young people's indignant expressions, Lu Yafu, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but twitch his lips, shaking his head and saying with a wry smile, "What a disgrace to scholarship! I never thought that even at my age, I still couldn't escape resorting to deception!"
"Shut up! The Emperor and the Grand Secretary are giving you face." Wang Ziwen glared at him and couldn't help but sneer.
"Good!"
Lin Rusong, standing to the side, nodded in agreement and said, "My son has no shortage of writers. If it weren't for my sake, you'd probably be working for the Zhang Clan fluffing cotton by now!"
Just write it down, and while you're at it, include the " Basic Annals of Diannan "—we'll need it later!
Holy crap!
Lu Yafu's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lin Rusong's proud expression.
Your son is great, I'll write it.
Meanwhile, in another restaurant, the people from the Great West Empire and the Frostwest Empire were deep in thought; this news was still quite favorable to them.
With over four thousand islands, it would take at least one or two months for the 400,000-strong army of the Great Liang to fight them. This is good news.
The people of the Zhennan Dynasty also breathed a sigh of relief.
These days, Great Liang has been making frequent moves in the southwest region, constantly cracking down on bandits. Now that they are tied down at sea, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
