However, just as Yang Rencheng was about to turn and leave, Lin Yuanlong suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"Yang Rencheng, you should think this through. Over the years, I have been leading an army independently, and its combat strength is no longer what it used to be. Even my Tiger and Leopard Army might not be able to withstand your shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Are you sure you want to leave your back to me?"
Yang Rencheng's body trembled, and he hurriedly walked back, clinging to the wall, gritting his teeth and saying, "Lin Yuanlong, what are you pretending for? Do you think it's still the same as before? Once I get the Imperial Seal, I will be ordained by Heaven and enjoy eternal prosperity. What can you do to me? If you dare to make a move, I can mobilize all the departments of the Nine Provinces and the Thirty-Six Paths of Smoke and Dust to kill you together!"
"By the mandate of Heaven? Hah!" Lin Yuanlong shook his head, his smile gradually fading. "You dare utter those four words? Don't you even know if your own destiny is strong enough?"
"In this world, no one can claim to be the chosen one, except me, Lin Yu!!"
"If there is!"
"Then I, as the father, will not agree!"
Lin Yuanlong roared, "Notify the Second Artillery Regiment to aim at Hulao Pass and bombard it like crazy!"
brush!
Ten kilometers away, in the dense forest, thousands of cannons were pointed at Hulao Pass!
In an instant, a murderous aura soared into the sky!
Yang Rencheng's face was extremely grim; he was now eager to go to Yandu to help.
But Lin Yuanlong was right behind him at that moment.
He was undecided for a moment whether to go to Yandu to help or stay and defend the city.
If he didn't personally garrison Hulao Pass, he didn't know how long his men could hold out.
"General, let's go! Even if we die, we'll die at Hulao Pass!"
"That's right. As long as we take control of Yandu, we'll have the upper hand. We don't need to be afraid of Lin Yuanlong at all!"
"As long as the Yang family seizes power, all advantages will be in my hands. There's no need to worry about anything else; getting the seal of office is the key!"
Several of his subordinates tried to persuade him.
Yang Rencheng clenched his fists tightly and glanced coldly down at the city walls.
"Lin Yuanlong, wait until I get the Imperial Seal and rule the world, then I'll see how I deal with you!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to leave.
"Slug, are you stupid?!"
Lin Yuanlong shouted in a sarcastic tone.
Yang Rencheng stopped abruptly, clenching his fists tightly.
At that moment, Lin Yuanlong's voice came again.
Do you think the world can be decided by a single stone?
"Ask yourself honestly, can you defeat my Fengtian Army? Even if you obtain the imperial seal, can you secure this throne?"
"My Northeast has the most fertile land, the richest resources, and its land, sea and air infrastructure is far ahead of the rest. Its heavy industry equipment is complete. Even if we close off Guanzhong and develop on our own, within ten years, a million iron hooves will sweep across thousands of miles! I just want to ask you, can your aristocratic families stop us!"
"Even if you hold your positions at the pass, you are merely outwardly strong but inwardly weak, and cannot withstand the attrition of my Fengtian Army! I may retreat to the Northeast now, but I guarantee that within ten years, my million-strong army will march out of the pass, killing gods and demons alike. What can your eight great clans do then? Moreover, you usurped power; do you think the various tribes of the Nine Provinces will be loyal to you? Most of you are just harboring your own ulterior motives and pursuing your own selfish interests. Once my Fengtian Army marches out of the pass, the empire you clans have stolen will be as fragile as an egg. When the Fengtian Army lashes you, all that will remain is an old land, and you clans will ultimately become the dead souls under the iron hooves of my Fengtian Army!"
Lin Yuanlong spoke with absolute confidence, outlining the possible outcomes for the aristocratic families.
Although it is a hypothesis, it is not a hypothesis, because what Lin Yuanlong said is a fact.
The country is not a stone; what use is the imperial seal if you lack power?
Moreover, the aristocratic families each have their own agendas. Even if they cooperate temporarily, they will inevitably be distracted and their minds will wander. Once they obtain the seals of office, they may fight each other to the death. How can this disorganized group withstand the might of the Fengtian Army?
But now, does he have a choice?
When the Western Frontier Army arrived in the capital region, he had no way out.
Once the aristocratic clans are defeated, Yang Rencheng will be a traitor, and everyone in the Nine Provinces will have the right to kill him.
"Lin Yuanlong, don't try to scare me. The Fengtian Army has also violated the ironclad rules by entering the pass without permission. I am a traitor, but aren't you? You can sit on this throne, but I can't?" Yang Rencheng shouted loudly.
Lin Yuanlong sneered, "At its peak, my Fengtian Army could rule half of the Nine Provinces. Can your Western Regions do that? Back when the covert war was at its most intense, which of the major war zones in the North dared to disobey me, Lin Yuanlong? Even you are nothing more than my lackey. As long as my Lin family comes to power, I dare not say that the Twelve Tribes of the Nine Provinces will be able to disobey me, but at least in the North, who will dare to disobey me!"
Yang Rencheng clenched his fists tightly.
Lin Yuanlong wasn't exaggerating; the Fengtian Army truly had the capability.
But who would willingly let a duck that's already in their hand fly away?
"Lin Yuanlong, don't give me any more advice. I'm on the city wall and you're below. As long as my men hold Hulao Pass for half an hour, I can take Yandu directly. Once I integrate the Imperial Guard and the Four Great Camps, what will you use to fight me? Don't forget, you brought the Tiger and Leopard Army today, not the Floating Pagoda Army. I'm not afraid of you at all! As long as I kill you sooner, there will be no future troubles!"
"What if we add the Nanjing Army?"
Just then, a loud voice came from the official road to the south.
Da da da!
A column of cavalry galloped wildly toward the city.
On the lead horse was a figure wearing a golden mask.
The shout just now was naturally made by him.
The iron cavalry surged forward like a river, as fast as lightning. Such elite troops were in no way inferior to the direct forces of any war division!
"Lin Yu? And the elite troops of the Jinling Army? This, how is this possible?"
