At night, after several hours of rapid marching, the Yellow Goat Mountain Pass was close at hand.
Lin Yi wore the deputy general armor and stood on the left side of Shi Kuolin.
The army moved slowly, their speed was very slow, and they looked dejected…
"Where did those people come from?"
At the pass of Huangyang Mountain, a commandant of the Wu Dynasty aimed with his bow and raised 30 to 50 torches. The soldiers guarding the pass were ready.
"Hey, Commandant Huang, it's me, Shi Kuolin!”
"Oh? So it's General Dai Guoshi. It's dark. What are you doing here?”
Shi Kuolin replied as per what Lin Yi had taught him in advance,
"Our Lieutenant General died in battle!"
"The soldiers are in chaos and have been scattered everywhere. I will gather the remaining soldiers and return to Dai Kingdom first.”
The Yellow Goat Mountain Commandant raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously,"
"Who defeated you?"
"A person called Lin Yi. He looks very young, but his killing techniques are extremely powerful. Our General fell into his ambush. Although I burned the rations of Yan Han's Great Gold Mountain, I was almost completely wiped out by him.”
The lieutenant had seen Shi Kuolin come out of seclusion from here and enter again.
However, out of caution, he did not let them pass immediately. He checked again and again.
"General Shi, why don't you break through the Yan Han border and return to the camp at the border? Wouldn't it be safer to join your tens of thousands of troops? Why do you need to borrow the path from our Wu Dynasty?”
The lieutenant noticed something fishy!
Fortunately, Lin Yi was already on guard.
"Commandant, you might not know this, but Lin Yi is extremely powerful in his army. He has more than 10,000 reinforcements and has already set up a trap near the border. He is waiting for me to fall into his trap. Now, in order to protect the main force, I can only borrow the path from the Wu Dynasty to return home. Moreover, your Second Princess personally gave the order to allow me to use the path to enter the pass on behalf of the soldiers.”
"Are you really going to leave me in the lurch? If the Second Princess blames you and the alliance between the two countries breaks, can you afford to be punished?”
These words were completely ruthless, scaring the captain so much that he broke out in cold sweat.
"Alright, Stone General, please wait a moment.”
All the information that could be matched had been matched.
The Second Princess had sent a letter over earlier, saying that Lin Yi had arrived at the southwest defense line of Yan Han.
He also said that Gao Deng Faction had an army that fought with Lin Yi.
When the captain questioned him, Shi Kuolin's reply matched the Second Princess 'letter.
There was no longer anything to doubt. The captain immediately turned on the switch.
However, Shi Kuolin suddenly led his troops and killed the captain with a single slash!
"General Lin, let's seize the opportunity while they are unprepared!”
Shi Kuolin led the charge. He had completely given up on Dai Kingdom.
With such a crushing defeat, Shi Kuolin no longer dared to return to Dai Country. He might as well take the opportunity to help Lin Yi gain merit in exchange for trust.
In the future, if they submitted to Yan Han, they could still get an official position and enjoy their old age. At least the lives of the father and son would be preserved.
In the face of life and death, Shi Kuolin completely surrendered, and Lin Yi also let down his guard.
After 15 minutes, the pass of Huangyang Mountain had been breached.
Lin Yi left behind 1,200 Yan Han Army guards and headed straight for the pass of Wu Dynasty with Shi Kuolin.
This pass had 2000 troops, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the other side sent 10,000 troops to attack, it would take a few days.
However, Lin Yi's 2,500 people were fearless at this moment.
It was only because Wu Zhao 'er's warrant to allow the country to borrow the road gave Lin Yi an opportunity.
Two hours later, Lin Yi arrived at the pass of Wu Dynasty.
Shi Kuolin still stepped out, holding the passage borrowing document in his hand. On it was a big seal personally stamped by Wu Zhao 'er.
The general guarding this pass was a tooth guard of the Wu Dynasty.
It was also a strict investigation, but Shi Kuolin's answer was airtight and there was no flaw to be found.
Lin Yi and the other cavalrymen were all wearing Dai Kingdom's cavalry armor.
In addition, these 2,500 people had already passed through the defense line of Huangyang Mountain. The tooth gate did not question them anymore and opened the door.
Just as Lin Yi's army entered the gate, they suddenly erupted again. The tooth guard did not have time to make a move at all and was stabbed to death by Lin Yi in the corner of the wall.
Ding! You have assassinated Li Shan, the Fifth Grade General of the Tooth Gate of the Martial Dynasty. Congratulations, you have received an extra reward of 3000 merit points!
The army rushed in, and the Wu Dynasty army at the pass was in chaos.
Lin Yi and the others had long been prepared and had excellent weapons. However, the other party was in a panic. After a battle, Lin Yi paid the price of 400 casualties in exchange for the complete destruction of the 2,000 soldiers guarding the pass!
"General Lin, there are three counties and one prefecture around here. The Wu Dynasty has a county captain in one county and two hundred people under his command to defend the county. General, you can take it directly. There are usually more than one thousand and five hundred troops stationed in the prefecture.”
Lin Yi also knew that he could only start with the three counties.
"General Lin, what should we do?”
Lin Yi ordered,
" You are not allowed to kill or target innocent people. You are not allowed to attack the county, loot the treasury, split open the prison and the death row in the county, and release all the prisoners to create chaos!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Divide into three groups and attack the three counties. We'll catch them off guard before they can react!”
"Yes, sir!"
……
Four hours later, the news of the loss at the border was reported to the capital.
At this moment, Lin Yi's three forces had already taken down the three counties of the Wu Dynasty. The people on the streets were so scared that they closed their doors and hid in their houses.
The cavalrymen charged into the government office, killed the officials of the Wu Dynasty, released the prisoners from the prison, and took away all the treasuries in the counties.
There was a Rank-4 town between the few capitals of the Wu Dynasty. It had three to five thousand soldiers stationed there to prevent rebellions.
The soldiers of the Dai Kingdom had already reported to the yamen that they had taken over three counties and surrounded the capital.
The local chief, Wang Hu, slammed his palm on the table.
"Preposterous, these bastards of Dai Country are used to looting the Yan Han border. How dare they invade our Wu Dynasty and plunder the people's wealth!”
"Men, gather 5,000 men and follow me to destroy this group of suicidal soldiers!”
By the time Wang Hu arrived at the three counties, six to seven hundred prisoners had escaped. Among them, there were more than a hundred death row prisoners.
The amount of gold, silver, and jewelry that Lin Yi had plundered on this trip was no less than 400,000 taels.
By the time Wang Hu arrived, they had already retreated from the Wu Dynasty border.
After returning to the Yan Han Kingdom, he headed straight for Jiang Yang…
Wang Hu shouted angrily,
"Where did this damned Dai citizen come from?”
"Milord, the Second Princess has given them permission to pass through. They must have rushed over from the pass.”
"Let's go to the pass and ask these bastards what they do for a living. How could they allow such a thing to happen in our Wu Dynasty?”
When Lin Yi and the others retreated, they took the corpses of their fallen brothers with them. There were only 2,000 dead soldiers left at the pass.
Wang Hu cried out. When he reached the pass, he saw the two thousand dead guards. His eyes were so red that they looked like they were about to bleed.
"Continue chasing!"
Wang Hu knew that all the guards at this pass had died in battle, and the pass at Huangyang Mountain should have been lost as well.
When they caught up and saw the dead soldiers at the pass, they were so angry that they whipped the stones!
"Hurry…hurry and report that 3,000 soldiers died in Huangyang Pass. The Dai Army can't change their ways. They looted the treasuries of our three counties and released 600 to 700 prisoners. Chief Town Wang Hu will temporarily guard the border.”
Lin Yi used the Dai Kingdom's military uniform to attack the city and made a scene in the Wu Dynasty. In the end, he still had to let Dai Kingdom take the blame…
He naturally knew that the Wu Dynasty would soon find out about this matter, but Wu Zhao 'er, the Second Princess, had shot herself in the foot this time!
Even if it was a temporary shift of blame, causing conflict between the Wu Dynasty and Dai Country, it was still beneficial to Yan Han.
Two days later, Lin Yi was already close to reaching Jiangyang.
At this time, he had traveled from Chang 'an to Dingzhou, Dingzhou to Jiangyang, Jiangyang to the southwest border for four days, and then back.
Lin Yi traveled more than 5,000 miles and killed nearly 30,000 enemies. He won a complete victory!
When Lin Yi returned to Jiangyang, the matter of Dai Kingdom attacking Wu Dynasty shocked the capital of Wu Dynasty!
The Martial Emperor sat on the Dragon Throne. The coldness in his eyes made everyone unable to raise their heads.
After reading the battle report three times, this ruthless woman's cold laughter suddenly echoed in the hall,"
"Hahahaha…hahaha…hahaha!”
A cold laugh frightened everyone so much that no one dared to make a sound.
At this moment, the matter of Lin Yi framing someone had not been investigated so quickly. The Martial Emperor naturally directed all his hatred at Dai Kingdom!
"Draw up an edict. If our alliance with Dai Country is broken, send 70,000 troops to the border of Dai Country. Ask Zhou Lianggong to personally use troops and give him a chance to redeem himself!”
"Yes."
"Draw up another move and severely reprimand Wu Zhao 'er for her decision to use troops. Tell her to come back if she doesn't know how to use troops! Don't embarrass the people of the Wu Dynasty on the battlefield!”
"Yes."
Even his own daughter, the Martial Emperor, was in a fit of anger.
After being in power for so many years, this woman had already reached the point where she had a heart of stone. When she was angry, even if she still had family ties with her daughter,
She would also punish him severely without any scruples.
The officials in the court trembled and did not dare to speak.
Wu Qingjun would either kill those who dared to speak out or send them back to their hometown and dismiss them from their official positions.
At this moment, a group of obedient ministers who only knew how to do things were left in the imperial court.
Even if some people wanted to dissuade him, suspecting that Yan Han was using Dai Kingdom's name to frame him, they only dared to think about it and did not dare to say it out loud.
However, not long after, another young woman wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown entered the hall.
She walked leisurely, so beautiful that it made people intoxicated.
"Greetings, Queen Mother. Qing-er has something to report.”
Wu Qingjun calmed down and asked listlessly,"
"What is it?"
"The Dai Kingdom has been allied with our Wu Dynasty for many years. Why would they attack us for no reason and start a war between the two countries?”
"Among the four kingdoms of the Central Plains, Dai Kingdom is even weaker than Yan Han. They only survive in the cracks and would not dare to commit suicide like this.”
Force Emperor was confused by anger earlier. After his rationality overcame his emotions, he thought about it and said,
"Then hand over the credentials first and ask Dai Kingdom about this matter. Tell them to investigate as soon as possible.”
The Martial Emperor said angrily,
"Reprimand Wu Zhao 'er. Do as you're told. I'll give him another gilded rod. By my decree, Wu Zhao' er will be beaten twenty times in the military camp as a warning to others!”
"This…"
Wu Qing 'er's expression changed immediately."
"Queen Mother, Zhao 'er is still young. I'm afraid she'll be injured by twenty strokes of the stick.”
"Humph!"
"Then change it to 15 strokes and make her remember what happened today!”
