"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
After verifying his identity, Zhang Bao went straight inside.
After recounting his previous remarks, he told Lin Rusong about the discovery of Ashina Tiandu, which immediately made the latter's hair stand on end.
Bang!
Lin Rusong slammed his fist on the table and roared, "A defeated general dares to cause trouble! I should be grateful if I don't deal with him, yet he dares to provoke me. He's simply courting death!"
The saying goes, "A fallen phoenix is no better than a chicken." You're already a runaway emperor, yet you still can't stay put and cause trouble; you're practically courting death.
"Your Majesty, let's launch a full-scale attack!"
"With Zhang Liang's Edification Corps in place, they can't cause any more trouble. We must make Ashina Tiandu know what it means to be doomed."
This land no longer belongs to him!
The others were also filled with murderous intent. This guy's actions would naturally threaten them, and it was better to deal with him as soon as possible so that they would have no worries and could focus on dealing with the Great West Empire.
Lin Rusong nodded and said in a deep voice, "Send down the order for Li Ling and Xu Zhong to launch a fierce attack on Ashina Tiandu. Our main army should also set off! This fellow thinks he can act recklessly now that he has reinforcements. This time, I will teach him what fear is."
"Yes!"
Bai Zizai and the others were extremely excited, as they were the main force this time.
Although Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui were a cavalry unit, they were outside the main army and not part of the main force. Therefore, this important task fell to their own men.
This is absolutely brilliant.
At this moment, Lin Rusong frowned and asked, "What about the relationship between Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui?"
"Your Majesty, the two generals have already returned to their original positions and begun to clear out some remaining enemy forces. It seems the people of the Moses Empire are about to run into a brick wall!" Wang Ziwen said with a hint of schadenfreude, a smile flashing in his eyes.
In order to create chaos in Frostwest, Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui adopted a strategy of rapid advance, which resulted in the presence of many remaining enemies. Therefore, they all went back to deal with these remnants.
However, this meant they ran right into the eastward expansion of the Moses Empire, which was an incredibly coincidental event.
With only a little over 100,000 men under his Abide Leier, facing the extremely ruthless Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui, his chances of survival were slim.
Ha ha!
Lin Rusong was both amused and exasperated. If that were really the case, then the Moses Empire would probably be in real trouble.
Given their fighting prowess, the 100,000 men of the Moses Empire would be nothing short of suicide if they encountered them; they wouldn't even make a ripple.
He couldn't help but shake his head, a sudden feeling of the Yangtze River ones washed over him. He couldn't help but smile wryly and say, "Sigh, these young people nowadays are amazing, they're so much better than we were back then."
"Haha, it's His Majesty's discerning eye that has found such a young talent." Wang Ziwen felt a deep sense of empathy; the civil and military officials of Great Liang were all incredibly capable, leaving him no choice but to admire them.
These people were all found by the Emperor and served him, so the Emperor is the most powerful person.
Who could have imagined that the spoiled young master would become so powerful?
Ha ha!
Mentioning his son, Lin Rusong immediately became proud and laughed, "My son is naturally amazing; he's the Great Emperor Zhenwu of the East!"
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, couldn't help but slap his thigh, and solemnly said, "I almost forgot, you sent the good news back, right? I want that brat to know that his old man isn't someone to be trifled with."
Forehead!
Wang Ziwen's lips twitched. "I'm really impressed with you, you old sixth brother. I thought it was something serious."
He chuckled dryly, "Don't worry, I've sent ten messengers back; they'll definitely let everyone know the progress on the Frostwest battlefield."
Hahaha!
Lin Rusong raised an eyebrow smugly. He had already anticipated the shock of the people of Great Liang. This old man was capable of killing.
And his own son's shock made him realize that his father could still move.
Coming to his senses, Lin Rusong said in a deep voice, "Alright, this time we'll leave the western front to Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui. We'll just wipe out Ashina Tiandu and take over Abaddon's 800,000-strong army. Then you and I can retire with honor!"
He had a pretty good idea of what his son was thinking: he wanted to give him a great victory, so he had been secretly helping him all along.
Not only did he send Xue Rengui and Huo Qubing to disrupt Frostwest, but he also had the navy attack the reinforcements of the Moses Empire, thus intimidating the Great West Empire. All of this was done behind the scenes by his own son.
But as a father, I can't let my son keep worrying. This one act of willfulness is enough; I can't cause him any more trouble.
"Yes, a glorious retirement!"
A spark ignited in Wang Ziwen's eyes; the long-dormant passion within him was finally rekindled.
If we can eliminate Ashina Tiandu, then we will have truly destroyed a powerful empire, which is the highest honor for a soldier.
With such glory, even death would be worthwhile.
"Report!"
"Under the leadership of the Retired Emperor, our Great Liang defeated the million-strong army of the Frostwest Empire, successfully captured the Frostwest Empire's capital, and the enemy emperor fled in terror."
"With a single decree from His Majesty, the righteous warriors Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui from the West have been successfully subdued. Now, half of the Frostwest Kingdom has fallen into the hands of our Great Liang!"
When the news reached the capital of Great Liang, it was already two days later, and the people of Great Liang cheered instantly.
"Great! I didn't expect this battle to end so quickly!"
Although they were already used to victory, this time it was the Frostwest Empire, an old and established empire, which made it all the more significant.
This Frostwest Empire is even stronger than the Zhennan Dynasty, yet it was completely crushed by its own Great Liang, who directly captured its capital. This is simply too powerful!
One scholar couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "This is truly a kingly army! Wherever they go, no one can rival them; even the enemy emperor has fled!"
"Haha, this Bill IV is a joke too. Did he rebel just to escape?" someone nearby couldn't help but laugh.
"Hmph, with such meager strength, they dare to challenge the Emperor? They're simply courting death."
"Of course! This guy dares to offend the Emperor; he's going to die sooner or later!"
To them, it was a joke. An emperor actually ran away; it was simply outrageous.
This is the first time I've encountered something like this in all these wars; it's truly outrageous.
For a time, laughter filled the air. Besides being happy about the victory of the Great Liang, they were mostly mocking the Frostwest Empire.
The two people walking together in the crowd couldn't help but laugh and cry after hearing what the people were saying.
