"His Majesty is truly a wise and benevolent ruler!"
"His Majesty's magnanimity is unheard of in any imperial family throughout history. If he is not a sage ruler, then there is no sage ruler at all."
The court officials were all deeply moved and amazed by the emperor's filial piety.
This kind of humility between father and son is perhaps more common among ordinary people, since their sacrifices are not too great, and often they just grit their teeth and give in.
However, such a thing is almost unheard of within the royal family.
Because this is the empire, a feat deserving a prominent place in history. Most emperors would be too busy fighting for it to give it away.
"Haha, my dear ministers, you flatter me!"
Lin Yi didn't take Wen Tianxiang's praise to heart. He was merely repaying his debt of karma and only wanted to have a clear conscience.
Without his old man's help, even with the system in his hands, he wouldn't have risen to prominence so quickly; he might still be playing against Li Anlan right now.
To put it bluntly, this identity, along with the foundation of the Prince of Northern Liang's Residence, has provided him with significant assistance; this is beyond doubt.
I don't need this credit myself, so giving some to the old man wouldn't be a problem.
He glanced at Lü Bu and the others, and said in a deep voice, " Lü Bu, the West probably can't hold out for much longer. The upcoming battles will likely be cross-sea wars!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Bu and the others instantly understood.
"Your Majesty, are you going to let us familiarize ourselves with naval warfare?" Lü Bu asked excitedly.
"Indeed, this is national policy!"
Lin Yi nodded. As the territory of Great Liang expanded, the battlefields in the future would basically span across this continent.
As a result, future operations will involve more cross-sea battles, which will require a large number of generals skilled in water combat.
Cao Cao's Battle of Guandu taught the world that even if you have a million-strong army, it's all for naught if you don't have a general skilled in naval warfare.
You may have great martial prowess, but you can't even get through the water.
To avoid this embarrassment, Great Liang needs to familiarize itself with naval warfare as soon as possible so that it won't lack talent in the future.
"That makes sense. From now on, we'll be fighting across the sea, so we need to prepare early!" Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.
"Practice!"
The others nodded in agreement. This situation was unavoidable; they couldn't just hand over the territory that Great Liang had already gained to someone else and then continue the land war.
"I'll leave this matter to Yunchang. You've commanded naval battles before, so you have some experience. Give the brothers some training!" Lin Yi said to Guan Yu.
Compared to others, Guan Yu had experience in naval warfare, which naturally could not be wasted.
"Promise!"
Guan Yu nodded and accepted the task.
Although it's not actual combat, it's preparation for future wars, which is perfectly acceptable.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and the person who came was none other than Dun Ruo.
"Your Majesty, Wang Yue has sent an urgent message!" Dun Ruo glanced at everyone, then whispered.
"Urgent?"
Lin Yi was slightly taken aback. Sending intelligence was done by carrier pigeon, so why was an urgent message being used? What was Wang Yue up to?
His gaze fell upon the so-called urgent document, which was a carefully wrapped cloth bundle. He frowned and instructed Zhao Gao to open it.
When the contents were revealed, his pupils constricted.
Medicine!
In other words, the Constitution Enhancement Card that I prepared for the retired emperor has now been taken back.
Lin Yi looked at Dun Ruo and said in a deep voice, "What happened at the front? Why was this thing sent back?" Did something happen to the old man, so this thing is no longer needed?
"Your Majesty, here is a letter written by Wang Yue!" Dun Ruo handed over a letter and whispered.
Lin Yi opened the letter directly. Inside was a record of the conversation between Wang Yue and Lin Rusong, written down word for word.
After reading it, Lin Yi was overwhelmed with emotion and sighed, "The hearts of parents are all the same. I wonder if you owed me in All Under Heaven past life, or if I owe you!"
Five years of lifespan—something so many people dream of—and his own father actually gave it up, passing it on to him.
The determination required here is no joke; it's a testament to the deep bond between father and son.
He sighed, put the enhancement card that had turned into a potion into his pocket, and decided to keep it for now, to see who needed it later.
With a thought, he focused his mind on the Heavenly Eye Map within his brain.
In an instant, the image of the great fortress on the Frostwest appeared in Lin Yi's mind, a huge defensive zone appearing before him.
Red represents the defensive legions of Nishu, while green represents the army of Great Liang.
According to the latest map information, the green arrow representing Great Liang has pierced through the red Frostwest, indicating that the Great Liang army has already breached Frostwest's defenses.
Seeing this, a smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. It seemed that the old man was quite efficient and had already broken through Frostwest's defenses.
It won't be long before we can completely crush Frostwest.
Looking at Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui, these two are advancing frantically and have already reached a distance from the enemy's Tiele City. They will probably arrive in less than two days.
Once all three parties succeed, Frostwest will undoubtedly die.
Unfortunately, specific details cannot be viewed; this Heavenly Eye Map is still somewhat outdated. It would be great if more detailed information could be viewed.
Huh!
Just then, Lin Yi suddenly saw a golden light, and his eyes lit up. This system had a lot of good stuff!
On a whim, he clicked on it directly.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully persuading the Aksu army to surrender with the help of his general Huo Qubing, thus achieving the Win People Over with Virtue. The reward is given to General Huo Guang, and the host will receive 100,000 elite Great Han Wei Zifu!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for your general Xue Rengui for sweeping through fifteen cities and winning the hearts and minds of the people in the Frostwest. You are rewarded with Elite-Grade Body Enhancement Card and the battlefield artifact, the Sky Piercer."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for Win People Over with Virtue and successfully capturing the cities of Frostwest. Reward: 2,000 Western spies."
"Bite..."
Holy crap, Wei Zifu!
Upon seeing this reward, Lin Yi was dumbfounded.
It's one thing to give him the title of General Huo Guang, after all, he was Huo Qubing's half-brother, so it's not surprising that the system would give him that title.
However, to everyone's surprise, not only was Huo Guang given to them, but also Wei Zifu.
This was Emperor Wu of Han's woman, and an empress at that. The system actually gave her to me; that's quite interesting.
Lin Yi couldn't help but mutter, "If I were to take Wei Zifu, wouldn't that be considered cuckolding Emperor Wu of Han? This feels a bit strange. Am I also a traitor like Cao Cao?!"
wrong!
Wei Zifu was later betrayed by Emperor Wu of Han, and he was simply rescuing her from dire straits; it was truly an act of helping others.
Moreover, judging from the introduction, Wei Zifu is still a virgin, which clearly means she is in a state of needing to be saved.
