Holy crap!
Seeing Ashina Xiuli, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. What had Li Yu done to make this guy break down like this?
However, it's good that he's involved. It will make the reason for Great Liang's military intervention even more convincing, and even the people of Frostwest won't be able to say anything.
Lin Rusong waved his hand, ordering someone to take him away, then whispered, "Strategist, now that we have this guy, isn't our time right?"
This is a reason offered to us; there's no reason not to take advantage of it.
Jia Xu shook his head and smiled, "Actually, it makes no difference whether he's there or not, it'll just be a little smoother. With the efforts of the Net and Wang Xuance, the hearts of the people of Frostwest have already wavered."
Sending troops under Anne's name is already perfectly legitimate; having a third prince is merely icing on the cake.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Lin Rusong asked, frowning.
Just then, a carrier pigeon with a red marking on its head flew back from afar, which made Jia Xu's eyes light up. He exclaimed excitedly, "Haha, if I'm not mistaken, the opportunity has arrived!"
This carrier pigeon is classified as top secret, and it comes from the Great West Empire, so there must be news from the Great West Empire.
"The opportunity has arrived?"
Lin Rusong's eyes lit up, and he instantly realized that the Great West Empire was finally making a move, and the Frostwest Empire could not hold on any longer.
If that's the case, then the opportunity has truly arrived!
Chance!
Lin Rusong quickly opened the letter, and its contents made his eyes light up. He exclaimed excitedly, "Haha, the Great West Empire really is going to make a move, and they've even mobilized the Land of the Far West!"
He passed the note around so everyone could see it.
[The Great Western Empire mobilized an army of 500,000, heading straight for the Shuangxi Xiling Corridor, attempting to encircle Huo Qubing while simultaneously guarding against the Great Liang.]
[An army of 300,000 men has been dispatched from the Land of the Far West, intending to cross the sea and attack Huo Qubing from the north, while also forming an alliance with the Frostwest.]
Hiss!
Everyone gasped in shock. With this, Frostwest would gain an additional 800,000 troops, bringing the national military strength to four million. This was terrifying!
Wang Ziwen breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said, "Fortunately, the Emperor sent people to intercept news from the Land of the Far West. Otherwise, if these two places suddenly attacked us during our offensive, we would be in serious trouble!"
With 800,000 troops rushing in, and reinforcements expected to follow, relying solely on 2 million troops would make this battle extremely difficult.
"It's not a big problem!"
Ran Min shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The fact that the Great West Empire has been hesitant to make a move suggests that the relationship between these three forces is not so good, which means that their military strength is weak."
Faced with the united strength of our Great Liang, they will only be torn apart one by one.
Moreover, Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui have now breached their territory, making it impossible for them to unite, so they pose little threat!
Forehead!
Upon hearing Ran Min's words, everyone couldn't help but twitch at the corner of their mouths.
This army, totaling nearly four million, was described as not much pressure by Ran Min. This guy is truly ruthless.
A strange glint flashed in Jia Xu's eyes. He nodded slightly and smiled, " Abaddon had been observing from the sidelines, wanting to deplete Frostwest's forces and then reap the benefits."
Now that they've taken the initiative, it seems Frostwest has paid a heavy price!
He didn't believe Abaddon was completely unaware of Frostwest's situation; frankly, he didn't want to intervene and simply wanted to deplete Frostwest's strength further.
He had previously received intelligence that Abaddon had contacted Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui, wanting to unite them to resist the Great Liang.
To put it bluntly, with the emergence of these two new forces, the Frostwest Alliance has become dispensable.
Abaddon would never hesitate to use any means to weaken Frostwest. But his sudden move must be suspicious.
"Haha, the strategist is indeed a master strategist. Ashina Tiandu, ceding the Xiling Corridor to Abaddon!"
"If Abaddon doesn't want it, he'll withdraw his troops from the Xiling Corridor and hand it over to Great Liang." Lin Rusong glanced approvingly at Jia Xu, took out another slip of paper, and explained with a smile.
The agreement between the two parties was clearly written above, using the Xiling Corridor as a breakthrough point.
"Holy crap, they've even sent the Xiling Corridor away! That Ashina Tiandu ruthless!"
Everyone's pupils contracted; they hadn't expected Ashina Tiandu to come up with such a method. He was really risking his life!
Although the Xiling Corridor is the entrance to the Great West Empire, it is also the entrance to the southwestern region of the Frostwest Empire.
This move, once unleashed, is a double-edged sword.
However, this move was precisely Abaddon's Achilles' heel, since they didn't want the Great Liang army to gain control of the western entrance without bloodshed, as that would be bad news for them.
A hint of a smile flashed in Jia Xu's eyes as he said softly, "Now that everyone is in place, it's time for us to perform. Your Majesty, it's our turn to make our move!"
"Emperor Frostwest is acting against the natural order; even his own siblings can't stand it anymore. It's time for us to uphold justice!"
Now that the enemy has entered the fray, there's no turning back; they're all going to stay.
"Haha, is it finally our turn?"
Lin Rusong's eyes lit up, and he instantly became energetic, excitedly shouting, "Send the order down! Summon the three armies, offer a sacrifice to Heaven, and march out!!!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Retired Emperor!"
In an instant, the many military officers below couldn't help but get excited. They had waited for this day for so long, and now it was time to officially start fighting.
Soon, the two million-strong army began to assemble, forming legions, and gathered on the border of the Frostwest Empire.
Their eyes were filled with fervor, as if they wanted to burn everything.
"Report! The 200,000- Qihuo Army corps is in position!"
"Report! Two hundred thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are in position!"
"Report! Three hundred thousand Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors are in position!"
"Report! Five hundred thousand Northern Liang Army are in position!"
"Report! The Heavenly Eye Intelligence System is in place!"
With all the legions in position, the terrifying war machine of Great Liang finally made its move, launching a grand oath-taking ceremony.
On the command platform, Lin Rusong, full of vigor and high spirits, solemnly declared, "Gentlemen, this battle is to eliminate the evil ruler Ashina Tiandu of Frostwest, and to save the people. It is a just war."
Therefore, anyone who dares to obstruct the righteous actions of my Great Liang, regardless of their faction, shall be considered an enemy of Great Liang and shall be killed without mercy!
Pfft!
With a single stroke, he slew the sacrificial offering, the blood instantly staining the flag red. Many soldiers' faces were also stained with blood, and they instantly became ferocious.
To them, anyone who was an enemy of Great Liang was someone who deserved to die.
Moreover, since this is a just war, there is absolutely no psychological burden on them; anyone who stands in their way will die.
"Kill!"
With a loud shout, Lin Rusong ordered the army to set off, heading towards the Frostwest Empire according to the previously arranged strategy.
