"If we can reach the upper reaches of the southern country, the marching speed will be more than doubled." Guijianchou said.
His original name was Zhang Peng. Now he was dressed in the uniform of a general, but he still had the toughness and bandit spirit of the past. However, he was no longer the one who only knew how to fight and kill when encountering problems like before. After all, the military books that Lin Su asked him to read were not read in vain.
"That's exactly what I mean." Lin Su said with a smile, "What do you think?"
"Your Majesty is wise, we will all follow your orders." The generals clasped their fists and said.
Just as Xiao State was on guard and Liang State was blatantly seizing Lin Su's shop, a group of tens of thousands of cavalry appeared in both the north and south of Liang State, charging all the way across the vast plains of Liang State at an extremely fast speed.
The battle reports from both sides changed every day, and all the countries were shocked.
"His target is actually Liang State?!" Emperor Yuanhe wrote with a heavier stroke of the pen in his hand.
Although Emperor Shengyuan of the Li Kingdom was old and foolish and greedy for pleasure, this major event that could potentially destroy the country still woke him up from his comfort zone.
But in this era, even if one gallops, news will take several days to arrive, and every time news comes, it is enough to make the emperors who originally thought that the matter had nothing to do with the country feel insecure.
The first to bear the brunt of the attack was the State of Liang. The Emperor of Liang was furious in the palace and sent troops to reinforce, but the battle reports that came back were always of failure. The generals sent were also experienced in battle, but it was rumored that they were shot down by the Emperor of Qi and captured on the spot, without even being able to fight back.
The cavalry marched very fast, and the supply of food and fodder should have been insufficient. However, Lin Su had many shops in Liang State, and his soldiers did not disturb the people wherever he passed by. The speed of dispatching food and fodder from the surrounding areas could fully keep up with the speed of the fast march.
Even if they closed the city gates tightly and poured boiling oil on it, they could not withstand the insiders in the city who were all masters. In just half a month, they had attacked twenty cities and were about to attack the capital of Liang.
Emperor Liang asked for help, and the message was sent to the three kingdoms, stating that if Liang fell, the other three kingdoms would probably follow suit.
Once the letter asking for help was issued, the other countries naturally felt more threatened. After all, what Liang said was extremely reasonable, and the courts of the various countries directly debated endlessly.
"Your Majesty should send reinforcements, otherwise the country will be in danger."
"But the Emperor of Qi has clearly done nothing wrong. If we rashly help him, we might end up getting burned."
"It is precisely because of this ritual that Liang State is on the verge of collapse. If we take the initiative to attack, we will be the next in line."
…
"Liang is located upstream. If we march, the southern kingdom will bear the brunt of the attack. Moreover, the country is currently short of troops. If we suffer further losses, I'm afraid the gains will not outweigh the losses."
"Your Majesty, please send troops to unite with Liang State against this common enemy. Otherwise, we will just sit there and wait for death."
“…”
When the new Emperor Yuanhe ascended the throne, he was full of energy and wanted to make great strides, but he did not expect that the businessman he had forgotten to summon at the beginning now had the power to conquer the world.
"Your Majesty, if Qi invades Liang, the current Liang will become the Southern Kingdom in the future."
"If we rashly close Qi's shops now, I'm afraid that before we can harm him, we'll end up starving Shengjing of rice."
"He clearly had this plan in mind long ago, using the identity of a businessman to conceal his evil ambitions."
Emperor Yuanhe deeply regretted that he did not meet Lin Su at the palace banquet that day. If he had met him, he would have seen that this man was no ordinary person, and he would have made a decision earlier and prevented him from even leaving the capital of the Southern Kingdom.
"What do you think we should do, my dear ministers?" asked Emperor Yuanhe.
There was silence in the court, and no one dared to say anything.
Even the extremely powerful General Huwei of Liang State was captured alive with one shot. Now there are no powerful generals in the territory of the Southern Kingdom.
"Duke Kangguo was once stationed at the border. Now the country is in danger. Is it possible for Your Majesty to reinstate him?" The Prime Minister said after a long pause.
"Duke Kangguo is indeed a capable general. He has fought against General Huwei before and won more than he lost." said a minister.
Emperor Yuanhe remained silent. At that time, he wanted to take control of the military power, and he naturally agreed to the memorial submitted by Duke Kangguo. Now that he wanted to reinstate Duke Kangguo, he was really slapping himself in the face.
Although the country is not without generals, there are not many who can stop the Qi cavalry. Reputation is more important than territory. It is really clear at a glance: "Pass on my decree, and restore the Duke of Kangguo to his position in the army from today. Set out immediately."
When the Kangguo Mansion received the imperial edict, they could only obey it. However, when Kangguo held the imperial edict in his hands, he found it quite ironic.
They naturally received the news of Lin Su's actions. Duke Kangguo was shocked at first, but later he felt that he could trust him after seeing what he saw that day.
And now there is a Silver Dragon General in the Qi army, who leads by example and is invincible. Although his name is Lin Fan, the news from Lin Su is that he is their son.
He is now galloping on the battlefield and making a name for himself. If Lin Su can really unify the world, such an achievement will definitely fulfill his lifelong wish better than entering the palace.
"I have served the Southern Kingdom my entire life. Although the previous emperor was incompetent in his later years, he never mistreat his soldiers, let alone cut off their lineages. But the new emperor is obsessed with sex and has used both soft and hard tactics to force my son to hide his identity so he can survive." Duke Kangguo privately spoke to Madam Kang, "Now that Qi is poised to unify the world, the Southern Kingdom is powerless to resist for long. Instead of killing our soldiers, it's better to just go with the flow."
"Master, you are absolutely right," Madam Kang said, holding his hand. "If Your Majesty were kind and my son were still alive, I would not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of the entire Kangguo Mansion. But he is clearly hypocritical and not worthy of our desperate service."
Of course they have to go to the border, but how to resist is the business of the Duke of Kangguo's Mansion.
It is too wishful to expect someone to repay you after you bully them.
News came from Taihe Palace again, and this time even the harem could not hide the news.
Li Yuan stared at the map in amazement, "How could it be Liang?"
That was something no one had expected, but that person did the exact opposite, catching everyone off guard.
With such a talented general, the State of Li might not be able to resist.
"Although we have occupied many cities, we may not be able to capture the capital. If we are in a desperate situation, I think the soldiers will fight to the death." His aunt comforted him.
"No, judging by how Lin Su treated the Chen royal family, we know he's not one to kill them all. He doesn't harm the common people when he passes by. Most people just want to survive and wouldn't necessarily risk their lives for an immortal royal family." Li Yuan rubbed his fingers. "That's also where his brilliance lies."
"But won't the Three Kingdoms send reinforcements?" asked my aunt.
"My father is old, and he's been bewitched by that mother and son. I'm afraid he's lost his former fervor and is only concerned with self-preservation. Emperor Yuanhe appears to be a man of great talent and vision, but in reality he's stubborn and selfish." Li Yuan lowered his eyes and said, "He won't send troops. As for the Xiao Kingdom, I'm afraid they lack the ability even if they want to. Even if they want to send troops to surround the capital of Qi to alleviate the danger to Liang, wouldn't Emperor Qichen think of what we can think of?"
