The ministers of Great Liang showed no fear whatsoever at the trouble that came their way; on the contrary, each of them harbored ill intentions.
They are never afraid of trouble, and even want to completely devour it, even to the point of encroaching on their territory.
Lin Yi couldn't help but nod slightly at the ruthlessness of his subordinates.
These people are all hard-working fighters; they wouldn't care about trouble. If there's trouble, they'll just deal with it, and then it won't be trouble anymore.
Lin Yi wholeheartedly agreed with this!
He laughed and said, "That's fine. As the hosts, we should make our guests from afar feel at home. Since they have brought 300,000 people, let Zhou Yu and Gan Ning go and greet them."
With the help of Zhou Yu and Gan Ning, they should feel at home and at least be able to feel the sincerity of the Great Liang.
Everyone's pupils contracted, and they began to mourn for the Land of the Far West.
Zhou Yu alone could mobilize nearly 300,000 troops, and with the addition of Gan Ning's Brocade Sail Battalion, the number would likely reach 500,000, or even 600,000 or more.
If these people go to pick up customers, the customers will probably disappear without a trace, not even a trace can be found.
Realizing what was happening, Lü Bu volunteered, "Your Majesty, I have long wanted to see that so-called Land of the Far West. Please allow me to go this time!"
"Hmph, you, Lü Bu, are a cavalryman. What are you doing out on the open sea? I'll do it this time," Guan Yu glared at Lü Bu, not to be outdone.
This is our old profession, something we're very familiar with. It's definitely better Lü Bu, who can't swim.
Lü Bu's expression stiffened; this was indeed a problem.
Even if I possessed extraordinary martial prowess, I couldn't simply fly over and kill the enemy; that would be rather awkward.
Zhang Fei, who was standing to the side, also wanted to volunteer, but Lin Yi stopped him.
"It's just a small force of 300,000 men. With Zhou Yu and Gan Ning, that's enough. If we need you to join in, that would be making a mountain out of a molehill!" Lin Yi said in a deep voice.
Zhou Yu and Gan Ning are both capable men. With their cooperation, they can definitely take down the 300,000-strong army in the Land of the Far West. There is no need to worry about that.
Zhou Yu's strength goes without saying; he was the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, practically single-handedly elevating Jiangdong to the ranks of hegemons, something that not just anyone could do.
Needless to say, Gan Ning was a professional Brocade Sail Bandit, and dealing with bandits in the Land of the Far West was a perfect match for him.
The two of them together can mobilize more than 500,000 people, which is enough to deal with any problem, so I don't need to worry too much.
Zhang Liao glanced at the two men and couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, you two brothers, are you worried about not having enough battles? We'll be fighting our way to their homeland sooner or later; that's a huge prize!"
He had interacted with Guan Yu and Lü Bu a lot these days and knew that although the two were proud, they were both wholeheartedly devoted to the Great Liang, so he couldn't help but try to persuade them.
Opportunities are plentiful in Great Liang, but skills are lacking.
"Well done, Brother Zhang, you've matured quite a bit!"
Guo Jia glanced at Zhang Liao, a hint of admiration in his eyes. He hadn't expected this guy to step forward and help him out; he had certainly grown a lot.
This guy used to always ask for fights instead of giving opportunities to others; you can see the change in him from that.
Lin Yi nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Zhang Liao's changes.
As the Ministry of War, one often needs to have a broad mind; otherwise, one would not be able to govern the entire Great Liang Ministry of War.
His growth can be described as an evolution, at least in the sense of a Ministry of War.
Lin Yi glanced at the assembled officials and said in a deep voice, "Draft an edict, ordering Zhou Yu and Gan Ning to lead 500,000 troops to intercept and annihilate the Land of the Far West."
Those who dare to attack my Great Liang state must pay the price. If Gan Ning and his men can't handle it, they can go back to fishing!
The price we deserve!
Upon hearing this, the ministers' expressions changed. It seemed the Emperor was truly angry; otherwise, he wouldn't have given such a warning.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although the 300,000-strong army in the Land of the Far West wasn't much of a threat, he had deliberately provoked the Great Liang.
No matter how kind-hearted an emperor may be, he won't be very patient if his country is actively plundered.
It's understandable that the emperor would order a deadly strike.
A smile flashed in Li Si's eyes as he slowly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, it is said that the Land of the Far West is eyeing our Great Liang because it was invited by the Frostwest Empire and the Great West Empire."
These two countries previously claimed to be friendly with us, but now it seems they are both wolves in sheep's clothing, harboring ill intentions!
The Land of the Far West can remain untouched for now, but the Great West Empire itself has also emerged, and it would be a disservice to its remarkable performance not to include it.
" Abaddon!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's face immediately darkened. He nodded and said, " The Net has also reported this matter. The Land of the Far West is targeting my Great Liang is because Ashina Tiandu and Abaddon took the initiative to invite me, attempting to shift the conflict onto my Great Liang."
This man is so lacking in martial ethics, he's practically a spy for our continent, so don't blame me for taking action against him.
After we teach Ashina Tiandu lesson, it'll be Abaddon's turn!
Why not take advantage of the opportunity to come here? Since Abaddon is courting death, I'll give him a push and let him know the consequences of plotting against Great Liang.
" Ashina Tiandu and Abaddon!"
Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, the assembled officials immediately became murderous. These two scoundrels were so audacious as to want Great Liang to share their burden.
"Your Majesty, the Great West Empire disregards our friendship and instead tries to frame our Great Liang. This is intolerable! I am willing to lead the troops into battle!" Zhang Fei seized the opportunity and volunteered.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
yes!
The Emperor Emeritus is leading the attack on the Frostwest Empire, but no one is attacking the Great West Empire yet, so we can attack them.
In an instant, Lü Bu, Guan Yu, and others stepped forward, volunteering to take action against the Great West Empire.
Lin Yi waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "The western battlefield is already sufficient. If I'm not mistaken, Frostwest will soon be gone."
When the time comes, the Emperor Emeritus will conveniently eliminate Abaddon; that will all be his achievement, and you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."
The achievements of the retired emperor!
Upon hearing these words, everyone's expression changed slightly, and they instantly understood.
So it turns out that both of these countries were achievements bestowed upon the retired emperor by the emperor himself. No wonder the emperor insisted on sending the retired emperor to destroy Frostwest.
Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but exclaim, "His Majesty's intentions are truly profound; his filial piety is so moving that it shakes heaven and earth!"
He was a scholar who valued filial piety highly, so the emperor actually gave up the credit for himself and transferred it to the retired emperor, which was absolutely a testament to his filial piety.
From any perspective, this achievement belongs to the emperor.
The decision to hand it over to the retired emperor is undoubtedly intended to give him dignity, allowing him to be remembered in history as a righteous and great figure.
For that reason alone, they deserve respect.
