"What a fine general who conquered the north!"
Seeing this, Chen Qun couldn't help but nod in approval. His lord's move was truly a stroke of genius; he could even see the light in Zhang Liao's eyes.
If war breaks out, this person will definitely be an unparalleled weapon!
"It's good that Wenyuan has this intention, but we still need to make some preparations to destroy the Northern Barbarians."
Lin Yi looked at the excited Zhang Liao, a smile flashing in his eyes. He naturally believed in Zhang Liao's strength, which was recognized by history.
To destroy the Northern Barbarians, the first line of defense must be Tuoba Yu!
Only after removing this thorn in our side can we launch a further attack on the Northern Barbarians; it's still a bit too early to talk about it now.
" Tuoba Yu!"
Zhang Liao's eyes were filled with murderous intent. This so-called Great General Divine Eagle was already on his kill list, and he was determined to remove this obstacle for the Crown Prince.
Bang! Bang!
Lin Yi tapped the box beside him and chuckled, "This contains information about Great Yu Mountain and Tuoba Yu. Knowing your enemy and yourself will ensure victory in every battle. Take a look!"
Intelligence on Tuoba Yu!
Everyone's eyes lit up. They all knew the purpose of their lord's trip to White Garden; this must be the information provided by White Asura.
With the information, dealing with Tuoba Yu will be much simpler.
Everyone was thrilled and quickly began to examine the information. After reading it, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
This Tuoba Yu is truly extraordinary!
Upon seeing Tuoba Yu's battle record, Ma Chao was not surprised but delighted, exclaiming excitedly, "What a remarkable Tuoba Yu! He actually has such a record. It seems I underestimated him!"
Only a strong opponent like that can excite me.
"Ten battles, ten victories! Great General Divine Eagle, truly impressive!" Jia Xu laughed.
Chen Qun couldn't help but chime in, exclaiming, "I think his strongest battle was when he used 100,000 troops to hold off the combined forces of Northern Liang and Great Ning, numbering over 200,000, for more than 50 days."
It's easy to bully the weak with numbers, but it's much harder to defend against a large number when you're outnumbered.
"That's interesting!" Lin Yi said with a smile.
Although the two sides were enemies, he was still quite impressed with Tuoba Yu's achievements; they were not something that ordinary people could achieve.
According to the information provided by Bai Zizai, it details Tuoba Yu's military achievements, tracing them back to before the establishment of Northern Liang. In the early stages of the attack on Northern Liang, Tuoba Yu was the vanguard of the barbarian king Tuoba Wanli, responsible for the right flank of the battlefield.
This guy won ten battles in a row, tearing apart the already weak Northern Liang and causing the Northern Liang's right flank to suffer repeated defeats.
At that time, the Northern Liang was controlled by Prefect Wu Kun, who commanded an army of 150,000. They were already barely able to resist the barbarians, and when Tuoba Yu broke through one side of their army, they were completely routed.
In the end Wu Kun was completely defeated, Tuoba Yu made the greatest contribution, which is why he was named the Great General Divine Eagle.
Later, Lin Rusong, the Prince of Northern Liang, rose in rebellion in a fit of rage, leading the angry people in resistance and driving Tuoba Wanli out of Northern Liang. The following year, the Great Ning Dynasty unified the All Under Heaven and directly allied with Northern Liang to fight against the Northern Region Barbarians again.
In this battle, the flames of anger made the allied forces as fierce as wolves and tigers, and they utterly crushed the 500,000-strong army of the Northern Region Barbarians!
In the end, the barbarian army suffered a complete defeat and found itself in a desperate situation. The allied forces launched a frenzied attack on the Northern Barbarians homeland, with 200,000 allied troops gathering on Great Yu Mountain alone.
Just as they were about to invade the barbarian territory, Tuoba Yu stepped forward at the critical moment, reorganized the remnants of the army that was about to collapse, and managed to hold off the more than 200,000-strong allied army on Great Yu Mountain for nearly two months with his 100,000 troops.
If Lin Rusong hadn't ultimately conquered the western battlefield, the history of the barbarians might have been rewritten.
Keep in mind that he was only twenty-five years old at the time, yet he achieved a dominant record. Now, six years later, he is likely to be even stronger.
Although Zhang Liao already knew about Tuoba Yu's achievements, seeing them all now still filled him with excitement. He exclaimed, "My lord, leave Tuoba Yu to me! I love taking on tough opponents like this!"
Ha ha!
Lin Yi was both amused and exasperated. This guy was quite the warmonger, actually setting his sights on Tuoba Yu.
He laughed and said, "Don't worry, you'll be indispensable in this battle. As for whether you can get the top credit, that depends on yourself."
"Haha, a general's military achievements are earned through his own battles, and Zhang Liao is no less capable than anyone else." A glint of light flashed in Zhang Liao's eyes as he excitedly said.
In the military, strength is everything. If you have enough battle merits, you'll be the most outstanding soldier. If you're completely useless, even if you're a general, people will only laugh at you for being trash.
He must fight his way back to the position of Grand General!
"Well done, Zhang Wenyuan! Old Jia likes confident people like you. I have high hopes for you!" Jia Xu looked at Zhang Liao, who seemed so nonchalant, and couldn't help but slam his hand on the table and exclaim in admiration.
Anyone who dares to say such a thing is definitely not weak; our lord has indeed found a capable person.
"Tch, we'll see who comes out on top!"
Seeing Zhang Liao's confident demeanor, Ma Chao couldn't help but laugh.
This kid actually wants to steal Old Ma's head! That won't do, brother. This battle must be mine to destroy Tuoba Yu.
Seeing the two locked in a fierce battle, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Haha, you and Ma Chao are both my trusted confidants. Today, I'll give you a prize: whoever gains more merit in this battle will be the future Marquis Champion of Xiliang!"
Since there's a comparison, there should naturally be a prize.
The highest honor for a military general is the Marquis Champion. The Marquis Champion is now vacant; let's see who is qualified to claim it!
" Marquis Champion!!!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao's eyes lit up. This was the highest honor for a martial artist. There were countless great generals in the world, but only three Marquis Champion, which was enough to prove its power.
If I could become the Marquis Champion, it would be an absolute honor for my ancestors and a name that would be etched in history.
He exclaimed excitedly, "My lord, rest assured! Even if Ma Mengqi's Xiliang Iron Cavalry is invincible, I, Zhang Liao Zhang Liao, am no pushover either. This title of Marquis Champion is mine to have!"
It's just military merit!
In terms of warfare, Zhang Liao was absolutely second to none, not even Ma Chao!
"Hahaha, interesting!" Ma Chao's eyes burned with fighting spirit and murderous intent. Let's go on a killing spree.
"This military officer is extraordinary! Then let me and Brother Chen Qun be our witnesses!"
Jia Xu, standing to the side, couldn't help but burst into laughter. The young master was indeed worthy of being called the young master; just two words were enough to drive this guy mad. If there were any enemies in front of him now, they would probably be torn to shreds by this guy!
Chen Qun nodded slightly. Although he was a civil official, his heart was also filled with fervor at this moment.
That's the Marquis Champion!
He couldn't help but murmur, "The bravest among the three armies, the foremost general, the young master truly possesses boundless heroism!"
What is Marquis Champion? A mere prefect is not qualified to have Marquis Champion as a subordinate. The heir apparent has the world in his All Under Heaven; he intends to replace the Emperor of Great Ning.
That's for the best, to avoid being feared in the future. It's better for the lord to become emperor himself, then there's no need for others to be feared.
With Ma Chao and Zhang Liao under his command, the Crown Prince has no weak soldiers!
