"This servant understands!"
Zhao Gao nodded, took the list, and went outside, preparing to post it publicly.
Watching Zhao Gao leave, Wang Yue pulled out a stack of intelligence reports from his robes and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened in the West. Bill III is dead!"
"Dead?"
Lin Yi was slightly taken aback. He had already warned him, yet he still died. How incompetent must he be?
He checked the intelligence and was speechless. He said irritably, "This Frostwest Empire is really outrageous. They even want to cut off the genitals of their princes. This is simply inhuman!"
It has to be said that this so-called Palace Guard Corps is simply outrageous; they actually have to kill off a prince's younger brother in order to inherit the legion's leadership.
If nothing goes wrong, then something sinister is definitely going to happen.
Historically, almost every eunuch who was stabbed, with the exception of a few who did not turn evil, became ruthless and cruel.
Since they'd already had it cut off, and had nothing to hold them back, they naturally transferred their pain to others.
His father-in-law had cut off his own son, yet he still dared to let him take control of the situation. This was simply courting death; he was bound to die.
"Cough cough."
Wang Yue glanced towards the direction of the inner palace and whispered, "Actually, the Net of Heaven) could have rescued them, but it seems the Emperor Emeritus stopped them, so..."
He didn't finish his sentence before Lin Yi stopped him.
Lin Yi frowned and said, "Let's leave it at that. Father Emperor was only doing this for my own good, so there's no need to say more. My father-in-law is deserted by everyone; it just shows he's a bad person."
He was speechless; how outrageous was his father-in-law?
The only person an emperor could possibly cause to rebel was his own father-in-law, who was also his secret protectors, war ministers, and regents.
If he didn't die, it would be a disservice to his character.
Lin Yi was well aware of his father's intention: to eliminate any future troubles, he had Bill III killed.
Otherwise, the emperor would not only have an emperor emeritus above him, but also a father-in-law, which is not a good thing, and often makes it difficult to deal with them decisively.
With Bill III dead, all is well.
In this way, not only was there one less meddlesome elder, but there was also another reason to start a war, which was definitely the best outcome for Great Liang.
However, this likely involves Jia Xu's intentions; this guy has a mission for him, specifically to advance the war's progress.
"Now, the retired emperor is using the death of his father-in-law as a pretext to mobilize troops and put open pressure on Bill IV. At the same time, he is using the people to suppress Bill IV's prestige and is ready to take action at any time."
"And another piece of news is that Abaddon of the Great West Empire is also spreading rumors about Bill IV's patricide and rebellion," Wang Yue whispered.
Lin Yi was not surprised by this news.
After all, the old man had even abandoned his own father-in-law, which was all for this scheme, so naturally he wouldn't pass up this opportunity to make a move.
By using the military to exert pressure and plunge the Frostwest Empire into chaos, while simultaneously eliminating any potential allies and directly isolating them, this was undoubtedly a brilliant move.
If the pressure is high enough, the Frostwest Empire will descend into chaos.
As for Abaddon's betrayal, that was even less of a surprise, given the deep-seated animosity between the two countries. Even if they were to unite, their true intentions would likely be superficial.
He couldn't help but laugh, "They're all in cahoots. I wonder if the wolf and the jackal will start fighting each other. Both sides are ambitious people."
Abaddon goes without saying; his ambition was practically written all over his face—he wanted to make the Great West Empire rise.
Needless to say, Bill IV was even more extreme. In order to become king, he even killed his own father. How could such a person be content with mediocrity?
In that case, the West will definitely not be at peace.
"Haha, those two definitely have ulterior motives, but unfortunately they're too wary of Great Liang, so they probably won't fight easily," Wang Yue sighed, somewhat regretfully.
If these two countries were to go to war, Great Liang could save itself most of the trouble and simply reap the benefits.
But it's clear that neither country is a fool, and they certainly won't let Great Liang benefit from this. Instead, they will unite against Great Liang; this is their only option.
"Hmph, so what if they don't fight? I'll just find him an opponent!"
A cold smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes as he focused his gaze on his Heavenly Eye Map, which clearly outlined the Great Liang's influence in the west.
The members of the Net have now established themselves in the Black Skull Army's territory and control a large amount of land.
At the same time, Xue Rengui also began a frantic sweep of the small states in the north of the Frostwest Empire. The two sides joined forces and almost completely blocked the north of the Frostwest Empire, which meant that the Frostwest Empire had been locked down.
The only problem is that the Great West Empire is now empty, and that bastard will probably cause trouble.
He checked his troop deployment and laughed, " Xue Rengui alone is still a bit insufficient. Let Huo Qubing infiltrate and directly attack the border between the Great West Empire and the Frostwest Empire!"
Now that we already have the Great Tang in the Land of the Far West, what difference does it make if we have another Great Han in the Land of the Far West? We can't let Abaddon be idle!
Once Abaddon has some free time, he will inevitably take the opportunity to develop himself, and at the same time, he will also create trouble for Great Liang.
Since that's the case, we can simply send Huo Qubing to cause trouble for him, weaken his strength in the process, and at a crucial moment, we can also launch a pincer attack on the Frostwest Empire. This is a win-win-win situation.
Holy crap!
Wang Yue felt a chill run down his spine. He said with a wry smile, "The Emperor's military strategy is simply outlandish; he's going to destroy these two countries."
With two major forces suddenly emerging, everyone is bound to be confused.
The key is that these two armies are extremely powerful. Their performance after entering the battlefield was simply overwhelming.
If the opponent is even slightly careless, their defenses might be torn apart, and that would be the most terrifying thing.
Hahaha!
Lin Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter. He wouldn't kill the opponent, but Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui's fighting prowess was no joke; they could definitely cripple the opponent.
If they make a big mistake, they will probably pay a heavy price. Huo Qubing was skilled at long-distance, roundabout raids.
If Abaddon let him poke his butt, he'd probably vomit blood.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little expectant, and said with a smile, "Pass on the message; the rest is up to them."
The layout of the Western battlefield is almost complete. On the surface, there is his father, Ran Min, and the Shuang Chao combination; in the shadows, there are Xue Rengui and Huo Qubing; plus Zhou Yu and Gan Ning's naval harassment, this gives them the qualifications to win.
Once Li Ru's army arrives, it's not impossible for the Great Liang to fight two against one!
