It was obviously unreliable for Cao Cao to go and provide support.
However, as they said, the Moses Empire in this Land of the Far West, as a regional hegemon, would not give up easily even in order to maintain its prestige.
Even though Zhou Yu and Gan Ning are capable of holding off the enemy, they are somewhat passive, which is not in line with their nature, so they need to prepare in advance.
Although Guan Yu has given Zhang Fei, Lü Bu, and others special training, giving them some understanding of naval warfare, they are still not truly invincible on water, so sending them over would be somewhat unreliable.
Sun Jian, on the other hand, was exploring eastward, conquering vast sea territories and occupying numerous islands and rivers. It was impossible for him to be suddenly transferred to the western battlefield, as that would undoubtedly be tantamount to destroying his Great Wall.
At this moment, Lin Yi thought of a problem, and his eyes lit up. He murmured, "Wait a minute, I should still have an army in the navy!"
With a sudden thought, he opened his system.
Zhou Yu and Gan Ning annihilated the enemy's 300,000-strong army. According to the system's reward standards, the merits gained from this naval battle should have been awarded to the navy.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on your great military fortune! You have defeated an invading enemy force of 300,000 at sea, gained Lu Kang, the Grand Marshal of Eastern Wu, 150,000 men of the Eastern Wu Navy, and 200 war ships of Eastern Wu."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on becoming the King of the Seas, a super overlord of the seas, and awe-inspiring overseas! You have gained An Introduction to Steam Engine Applications and a map of the islands surrounding the Great Liang!"
Huh!
Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "This time it's actually Lu Kang, Lu Xun's son! He's quite an impressive figure!!!"
He didn't know much about Lu Kang, only that he was the son of Lu Xun, the Grand Commander of Eastern Wu.
Besides that, he was also known as the last great general of Eastern Wu, who extended the reign of Eastern Wu by twenty years.
This title alone is enough to demonstrate his strength, after all, the later period of Eastern Wu was extremely difficult, and he almost single-handedly fought against the Jin Dynasty of the Sima Clan.
Furthermore, the last emperor of Eastern Wu seemed to be extremely incompetent, so Lu Kang was able to hold out for another twenty years, which made him a truly great general.
Moreover, with him around, Lu Xun will probably be able to get here soon.
However, if the Lu Clan father and son join forces, the maritime hegemony of Great Liang will surely reach a new level. After all, both father and son are extremely outstanding strategic military strategists and true geniuses.
In comparison, the 150,000-strong navy and 200 warships of Eastern Wu seemed less formidable, since talent is the most valuable asset.
Ships and troops can be built and recruited at any time, but top-notch generals are undoubtedly hard to find.
The An Introduction to Steam Engine Applications is also quite good. It can accelerate the emergence of steam-powered ships and facilitate future cross-sea operations.
Finally, the map of the islands surrounding Great Liang was somewhat unexpected, considering that we already had Super Nautical Chart, and now we've been given another island map.
At first, he thought it was useless, but upon closer inspection, Lin Yi's eyes lit up. It not only marked suitable locations for building a sea base, but also indicated some important mineral resources. This was a real gem.
Cough cough!
Seeing that Cao Cao and his men were still eager to try, Lin Yi directly interrupted them.
"Alright, I've already chosen the people to go and support Zhou Yu; they'll be there soon. You all just proceed with your tasks."
Is someone there?
Everyone was slightly taken aback, not expecting that the Emperor would send a navy to provide support. It seemed that the Emperor had hidden someone.
Cao Cao couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What a cunning old fox! Bah... what a far-sighted emperor! He's hidden himself so well!"
If it weren't for the need for support today, probably no one would have known that the Emperor had a backup plan. This master is truly unfathomable.
If anyone were to rebel against the emperor, a million-strong hidden army could emerge in an instant, and they wouldn't even know how they died.
Lin Yi glanced at Cao Cao, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, and said, " Mengde, I heard that someone recently saw you openly exposing yourself while drunk, seriously damaging the image of our Great Liang. You'd better go to Fengxiao's training class and repent for three days!"
puff!
Xu You, standing to the side, almost burst out laughing, his face full of schadenfreude.
Cao Cao had been very efficient these days, so he received the emperor's reward and had been showing off in front of me. Now he's not so smug anymore.
You even openly exposed your penis; let's see if you don't embarrass yourself this time.
Is that training course even fit for humans? I heard there are tons of rules there, and they subject you to all sorts of mental torture and mental manipulation. It's torture!
"Emperor!!!"
Cao Cao stiffened, giving Lin Yi a resentful look. He must have thought that the Emperor had overheard his thoughts, and that's why the old man was deliberately retaliating.
What do you mean by openly exposing himself? He was just drunk and relieving himself in the street.
As one of the six ministers, how could I be so outrageous as to openly play with birds?
Lin Yi waved his hand and laughed, "No need to say more, this matter is decided. I'll give you a few more days. Also, Lü Bu, you two intensify your training. I have a feeling that the battle with the Moses Empire is not far off!"
Cao Cao was dumbfounded and quickly shut his mouth.
It's true what they say, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; I've been completely wronged.
Although Lü Bu and the others were somewhat disappointed, they immediately perked up when they heard that the battle with the Moses Empire was coming soon.
At this moment, Tian Feng stepped forward and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus has now entered Frostwest, and the enemy's general, Nishu, is forced to defend."
Bill IV sent ten messages seeking peace in succession, clearly sensing the crisis, which explained his humble attitude.
As the Palace Library, he was specifically responsible for assisting the Emperor in his affairs, so he had to remind the Emperor.
Now that Frostwest is on the verge of destruction, the other side clearly doesn't want to fight anymore. It's just a matter of whether the Emperor is willing to accept it.
"Sum?"
Upon hearing the other party's ten consecutive attempts to make peace, a hint of disdain flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and he sneered, "This fellow was ambitious back then, wanting to unite with the West to attack my Great Liang, and later he wanted to collude with the Moses Empire to plot against us."
Now he wants to make peace with my Great Liang? How dare he?
He was rejected outright! That shameless scoundrel, I am ashamed to be associated with him!
To be honest, Lin Yi already considered himself to be very thick-skinned, but compared to Ashina Tiandu, he felt that he was practically of noble character.
This guy is already playing both sides, and now he even wants to use family ties to make peace? That's ridiculous!
You should be grateful if I don't beat you up. You actually dared to scheme against me twice. If I don't kill you, it would be an outrage against heaven and earth.
Such a guy absolutely cannot be allowed to live; not only should he be killed, but his ashes should also be scattered.
