Yao Guangxiao sighed and asked, "Your Highness, let me ask you a question: if that woman were to mobilize the entire nation to attack us, could we win?"
"How is that possible? Has that woman gone mad? Using the entire nation's resources to attack me, a meritorious official?"
"Your Highness, have you forgotten? That woman is a woman!" Yao Guangxiao reminded Lin Mo.
"Women..." Lin Mo suddenly realized, "Yes, when women go crazy, it's simply..."
“That settles it,” Yao Guangxiao said. “If Your Highness were just a useless piece of trash, then perhaps the woman would have taken pity on you and let you live like a dog.”
But the crucial question is, Your Highness, your strength...
Lin Mo stroked his chin. "Everything I've done since coming to Sichuan has probably surpassed what my own father, Lin Wenzhong, has done."
He traveled a thousand miles alone to Shu, and in a short time wiped out all the bandits in Shu, and then destroyed the entire Kago tribe.
"So asking that woman for rations was to make her think..."
He deliberately exposed his military talent and political "incompetence"!
Why do I say that? Asking the Empress for military rations would directly expose our true intentions, wouldn't it?
This is practically a carbon copy of Lin Wenzhong, blindly trusting the Empress of Great Xia and fighting for her in the east and west.
“That’s right, make her think that you are like your father, a ‘military genius’ who only knows how to fight and has no political sense whatsoever!” Yao Guangxiao said, “That way, she will think she can easily control you.”
Just like how he manipulated my father, Lin Wenzhong! Lin Mo thought to himself.
After I achieve fame and success, take away my military power and then reward me with a delicious steamed goose!
If I don't expose my political incompetence, this woman might just steel herself, disregard face and words, and send a large army to attack me.
It's hard to say whether we can win or not, but my side will definitely suffer heavy losses!
And if this woman goes crazy and allies with the Dossians, even with my system, I might not be able to handle it...
"So this woman is now writing to say that she has sent people to transport military supplies, but in reality, she has sent troops to probe our strength?" Lin Mo analyzed.
“They are more likely Li Hu’s subordinates!” Yao Guangxiao said. “After they come to Shu, they may join the Dos army.”
Lin Mo frowned. "You've already figured that out?"
“Exactly!” Yao Guangxiao replied calmly.
"Then what will you do?"
"Can we stop it?" Yao Guangxiao asked rhetorically.
Yeah, what the hell am I supposed to do to stop it?
"Your Highness, this is Li Hu's last-ditch effort."
"He will be sacrificed!" Lin Mo thought to himself.
At that time, the Empress will say that Li Hu's actions were his own personal behavior.
After defeating Lin Mo, Li Hu took Lin Mo's head back and claimed that it was the Doss people who did it. Then Li Hu avenged Lin Mo by killing the Doss murderers, and the Empress "cried" loudly, winning back the hearts of the people.
If they lose, Li Hu will be a traitor and a national betrayer.
The Empress stepped forward, killed him, and won back the hearts of the people!
"That woman is really vicious!" Lin Mo couldn't help but exclaim.
“That’s how politics is. In the game of power, there are no losers, only life and death,” Yao Guangxiao said. “This woman reminds me of someone, a prominent figure.”
"who?"
"Wu Zetian!"
Lin Mo frowned. The only female emperor in Chinese history.
This man climbed to the throne step by step, using every means at his disposal. He even killed his own daughter to frame Empress Wang, the wife of Emperor Gaozong of Tang.
“Alright, Your Highness, I still have much to do,” Yao Guangxiao said. “I shall take my leave now.”
"You've worked hard, my Xiao He. I will find you a few more skilled doctors!" Lin Mo joked.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness!"
After Yao Guangxiao left, Lin Mo began to check the system.
Next, an unprecedented battle that will shake the world will be fought.
His opponents will be the warriors of the entire Dos Grassland, as well as Li Hu's elite troops!
Open the system.
[Host: Lin Mo.]
[Points: 3212. Maximum growth rate: 2.5 points per minute (sleep mode).]
[Territory 1: Shu (area 176,000 square kilometers), Territory 2: Kusu region south of Dos (123,000 square kilometers).]
[Soldiers under my command: 4532 one-star infantry, 1321 one-star cavalry, 2232 one-star archers, 475 Tang Dynasty Xuanjia heavy cavalry, and 3632 Hu-style archer cavalry.]
[Subordinate generals: 1. Xu Chu (4-star); 2. Yao Guangxiao (4-star); 3. Bai Qi (Mythical).]
"Haha, the system even included the Dos territory we just conquered, that's great!"
However, given the battle losses, Lin Mo shook his head and said, "Sigh, more than 10,000 points are gone just like that, it really hurts!"
Although the last battle was a great victory, Lin Mo also lost 25 Tang Dynasty Xuanjia heavy cavalrymen, 368 Hu-style archer cavalrymen, more than 3,000 one-star soldiers, and more than 5,000 Xichuan soldiers. The overall battle loss ratio was 1 to 10.
Such a record is quite remarkable.
Upon closer inspection, a familiar notification message for a large gift package appeared.
[Congratulations, host! You have annihilated the tribe ruled by the Great Chief Doskago, with over 100,000 kills. You have completed the epic difficulty achievement "Human Butcher" and received 1 General Lottery Ticket.]
Earning points increases by 0.5 points per minute, currently at a rate of 3 points per minute (including all bonuses).
[Host, please draw a prize immediately.]
[Note: Due to your excessive killing, the generals you obtain from the lottery are highly likely to be bloodthirsty, dark-style generals, with a very small chance of obtaining benevolent generals.]
"A bloodthirsty dark-style warrior?" Lin Mo couldn't help but take a deep breath. "Killing too many people will affect the system. This cheat is interesting! And it's also very timely."
To be honest, Lin Mo is currently in dire need of a military general with strong leadership skills.
Qiao Shan and Zhao Zhen are currently loyal, but they are not products of the system after all. Their loyalty may decrease due to certain events, and if they have different ideas, they may even break up.
Just like Xun Yu and Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period.
The products of the system, on the other hand, are brainwashed, completely obedient, and never betraying.
Furthermore, Lin Mo wasn't entirely confident in Qiao Shan and Zhao Zhen's ability to command troops.
"No more hesitation, let's start the prize draw now!"
[Ding!] [Lottery complete! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a new general!]
Open the general panel and take a look.
[General's Name: Ran Min]
[Military Commander Type: Commander]
[General Rank: Three Stars]
[General's Special Skill: Slaughter the Hu! Skill Effect: When fighting against an enemy ethnic group, the user gains an additional 30% attack power!]
"Ah...three stars?" Lin Mo was taken aback. This was the lowest quality general he had drawn so far.
"The instigator of the Slaughtering Hu Order? Quite the dark character! But something feels off!" Lin Mo sighed inwardly. "If I remember correctly, this Ran Min should be pretty powerful!"
Why only Samsung? What's wrong with the system?
