I really can't control myself

When he received the news, King Cheng Li Ying was stunned.

The news here certainly does not refer to the news that his emperor brother asked him to pacify the Tianfeng Kingdom. That order has already reached his side.

Just as everyone expected, Cheng Wang Li Ying was naturally prepared to do her best this time. Even though he knew that this was the emperor's temptation and weakening, it was indeed a conspiracy. He cannot refuse the will, and will be punished if the crusade fails, and then the vassal may be cut directly.

Then what else can he do, resist the decree? Or pretending to be sick? What if someone sends a few imperial doctors over? Since the emperor has issued the decree, he is probably prepared for this. Although he was already considered the most powerful among the vassal kings at this time, he was still too far behind the emperor to resist.

Originally, his ambition to become a king was not that big, but at this time, he gradually felt the emperor's guard and hatred towards him. Yes, if it was just for defense, he still had a way out. At most, he would just give up what he was holding, but he didn't even know where the hatred came from, but he still clearly felt it.

He felt that once he handed over his power and troops, what might be waiting for him would be a glass of poisoned wine, and the emperor would find any reason to kill him and eradicate the roots. He didn't dare to bet. He knew very well what kind of sinister person his brother was, and he would definitely clean him up.

Besides, the emperor hated him, didn't he have any resentment? At this time, King Cheng Li Ying obviously resented the emperor after suffering losses again and again. He did have objections.

But now I can only think about this matter, and absolutely cannot show it at all.

Li Ying could only endure it, and it was the same this time. He had no objection to the Tianfeng Kingdom, but this time the Tianfeng Kingdom must be destroyed, and he had to do it well so that his imperial brother could not find any way to stumbling him.

So at this time, after receiving the order, he had already begun to prepare for war.

The target this time is the entire Tianfeng Kingdom. Although Tianfeng Kingdom is indeed a small country, it will still take a certain amount of effort to completely eliminate it.

Li Ying planned to directly recruit an army of 100,000 this time. Of course, this is not all his strength, because the number of this army is actually a bit beyond the original size of a vassal king.

According to the regulations of the empire, the maximum number of troops a feudal king can possess is actually 60,000. But the number of troops that Li Ying can actually control is far more than this. He also has a force of 30,000 people under his command. Although it is directly under the imperial court, they are actually all his people. Then there is another army that is training for another vassal king. It is said that it is under the name of another vassal king, but it is actually controlled by him.

The imperial court knew all this information. After all, these troops were not his troops in name, so it was not considered a violation of regulations. Of course, this is also the reason why he is feared.

Even these troops were summoned this time, not to let the emperor see his strength. But knowing that the emperor knew the situation of his men showed an all-out attitude. In fact, the troops actually controlled by King Cheng were far more than these.

Of course, an army of 100,000 people cannot be prepared and set off in a short time. The nominal food and fodder for the counter-rebellion this time was provided by the imperial court. After all, it was for the imperial court to counter the rebellion. However, the court stated that it would take time to transport the grain, so King Cheng was asked to set off first, and the grain would follow later.

Li Ying didn't know whether the food and grass would be given to him in the end, but he couldn't say anything more because they didn't say they wouldn't give it to him. But now he needs to raise advance food and fodder for these 100,000 people, which will take a lot of time.

While he was busy preparing his military strength and preparing to send out troops, a shocking news reached him.

The army of Tianfeng Kingdom actually took the initiative to attack, and it was not the main force from Tianfeng City that attacked, but the army that had just occupied Yongjin City.

Li Ying naturally also knew about this guy named Linton. At this time, Linton was well-known in the entire Lingzhou world. Although the other party is not very important to the monks, people have always said that this is the god of war. After all, the record of two thousand to sixty thousand is really scary.

Li Ying did not dare to look down upon this person. Although he also felt that the battles fought by the opponent were somewhat lucky, it was certainly not all luck. He originally wanted to have a good fight with this new military god.

But he didn't expect that this guy would give him a wave of things he couldn't understand from the beginning.

Yes, according to the intelligence from the front, Linton gave up Yongjin City and went directly to the expedition with a cavalry force of more than 1,000 people. He actually came straight towards his fiefdom.

It was quite easy to bring back the news from Yongjin City, because Linton seemed to have no intention of occupying Yongjin City from the beginning. After conquering Yongjin City, he had no intention of governing it and didn't even seal the city. The spies from all sides who went to investigate came in and out very casually, bringing information as they pleased.

After all, Linton had no intention of actually acquiring territory for the Tianfeng Kingdom. He didn't care what happened to Yongjincheng. Linton is now at odds with this automatic winning system that he doesn't know where it came from, to see what kind of situation will allow him to turn the tide.

There are more than 1,000 people on Linton's side, so preparations for the expedition are naturally very fast. After roughly knowing the location of King Cheng's fiefdom, he immediately raised his troops to go on an expedition overnight. Even the people in Yongjin City didn't react. Why did he leave so suddenly? Everyone is a bit puzzled. You don’t want this city anymore? And why are you taking more than 1,000 people out?

And this news was now delivered to King Cheng Li Ying. Apart from not being able to understand it, his only feeling was...uncomfortable.

It felt like the guy across from me didn't regard him as a human being at all. He led more than 1,000 people towards him. This guy didn't come to surrender. If he surrenders, then at least contact him through letters or something like that. You can also offer Yongjin City as a tribute gift.

In Cheng Wang's judgment, Linton's current actions were similar to those against Shangjincheng before. The other party probably really thought that he could kill him with more than 1,000 people.

So do you think he can't feel uncomfortable? Li Ying felt that after all, Ma Tianyong, the legitimate son of the Ma family, who was killed by Linton with an army of 60,000, could fight better than him. But now Linton dares to attack his 100,000-strong army with 1,000 men. This does not mean that he is worse than that idiot.

Just when Li Ying was getting more and more angry, and was even preparing to attack in advance, someone from below suddenly came to report that the eldest lady was back.
