"Your Majesty, I am very happy. General Mian surrendered to Gulicai, and then captured Yelang Mountain. All the 500,000-strong Western Divine Kingdom army has returned!"
"What?" Yang Ling was shocked when he heard this report.
Yang Ling immediately summoned the civil and military officials of the court. At this time, the news had spread to the court, and everyone was overjoyed.
Gu Licai defected and captured Mo Yiqi and others at the same time, captured Yelang Mountain, and Nanliang County was almost captured.
"Your Majesty, General Mian has sent a battle report, which is really gratifying. Now General Mian is signaling that he will go all out to conquer the Western Kingdom."
"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Western God must be in chaos at this moment, and there are not many good opportunities like this."
"Yes, although I don't know why Gu Licai defected, General Mian is really capable of making him defect. After this battle, even if the Western Kingdom is not destroyed, the situation of the Three Kingdoms will be completely reversed, and our Southern Kingdom will become one of the Three Kingdoms.
It’s over.”
"Okay, General Mian is working really hard on the front line. We should continue to attack the Western God Kingdom. This opportunity is really not to be missed. However, many things need to be done. The follow-up food and grass and the surrendered soldiers also need to be dealt with." Yang Ling looked more mature.
Others are calmer.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true." When the ministers saw that Yang Ling was extremely calm despite his young age, they all nodded, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. The late emperor did have foresight back then.
"I plan to send Prince Jing to award rewards on my behalf, to confer Mian Zhizhuang as a divine general, and to bring troops, horses, and food." Yang Ling indicated.
"It is quite appropriate for Your Majesty to send Prince Jing to represent Your Majesty."
"Everyone, although General Mian has made great contributions, Uncle Xicheng's attack on Nanliang County is also a great achievement. I also want to reward him. In addition, I also ordered my uncle to go north and join forces with General Mian to capture the Western God Kingdom in one fell swoop.
." Yang Ling continued.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. With the two imperial generals joining forces, the Kingdom of the Western God will surely be destroyed. Your Majesty will restore the foundation of the ancestors and unify the Eastern Continent."
"Prime Minister Hong, I am young and not worthy of the post. After my uncle left, Nanliang County also needs someone to defend it. Hong Chenyi was also wasting talents in the Forbidden Army, so I sent him to take over Nanliang County, and General Mian will not need to defend Shannan in the future.
County, I plan to send General Jiang to guard it." Yang Ling continued to give instructions.
None of the ministers objected to Yang Ling's mission. Instead, they felt that His Majesty was young and promising, and knew how to do things. Not only was he not dazzled by victory, but he also knew how to do things.
Lin Haoming was also reorganizing the army at the moment because he had recruited 500,000 men. He had to lower his troops, but they could not reuse them. Moreover, compared to the men and horses trained by Gu Licai himself, Mo Yiqi's men did not dare to use them.
It also took a lot of time to organize the army. From winter to late spring, when I saw Prince Jing actually coming with the imperial edict and provisions, I was ready to continue marching westward.
When they moved westward, Lin Haoming also knew that Yang Xicheng had completely wiped out Nanliang County, and because Nanliang County had suffered from wars in recent years, the people supported the Western Divine Kingdom army very much. After defeating it, the rear was relatively stable.
, and even attracted many new recruits.
Now Yang Xicheng has also received orders to continue heading north, and finally join forces with him.
A two-pronged attack was naturally a good thing. Lin Haoming didn't think much about it. After getting ready, the army also began to move westward. However, this time Ling Huiwu and Mo Yiqi were left at Yelang Mountain to guard the prisoners of war in name. In fact, Mo Yi
Qi continued to guard Yelang Mountain to prevent the Northern God Kingdom from seeing the problem and attacking the Southern God Kingdom to relieve the Western God Kingdom.
Perhaps it is because the Kingdom of the West is really empty, and one of the two military gods has defected to the other, and the other has been captured by the opponent. Therefore, the guards of the cities along the way either abandoned the city and fled, or directly defected, and the people of the Kingdom of the West were even more confused along the way.
The welcome also allows everyone to see that the West God Kingdom has indeed lost people's support.
In this way, there were almost no obstacles along the way. In less than two months, we were already approaching the capital.
The same goes for Yang Xicheng's road. Although he had to go north first, after catching up with Lin Haoming's road, the road ahead was smooth, and he caught up not long after he was late.
A few days later, the army completely surrounded the capital. At the same time, news came that the Northern God Kingdom had sent troops to attack Yelang Mountain.
The Southern God Kingdom has been unstoppable all the way, which also allowed the Northern God Kingdom to recover and realize that once the Western God Kingdom is destroyed, the Northern God Kingdom cannot stop it for long, so now they can only join forces with the Western God Kingdom to contain the Southern God Kingdom and capture the capital. As long as the capital is still there
Now, then the Western God Kingdom is still there, and Yang Yanshun did not leave the capital, but only asked a few princes to leave. He is really determined to coexist with the capital.
With such determination, and the fact that the seventh uncle, an old royal general, was personally holding the capital, it was really not easy to break through for a while.
Lin Haoming and Yang Xichengdu decided to try to attack the city first, but found that the other party really planned to defend it, which made it a bit difficult for a while.
Just as the two of them tried several times and thought about how to break the city, Yang Ling's imperial edict came again.
The content of the imperial edict was very simple. Because the Northern Kingdom's army was attacking Yelang Mountain and the situation was tense, Lin Haoming was dispatched to garrison Yelang Mountain, and the task of attacking the capital was handed over to Yang Xicheng.
Lin Haoming was a little surprised by this imperial edict, and Yang Xicheng was also a little surprised. After all, Lin Haoming was in charge of the world's troops, and it was really strange that he transferred people away right in front of him when he was about to conquer the capital of the Western God Kingdom.
Lin Haoming accepted the order on the surface. After returning, Kong Lingzhi also sensed that something was wrong. He went directly to Lin Haoming and expressed his thoughts directly, wondering whether something happened in the palace.
Lin Haoming also felt suspicious, but he didn't know anyone outside now. Lin Haoming felt more and more that he might have really neglected Yang Ling. He was no longer the smart and well-behaved kid he was when he was a child.
"Since Ji Yanfeng is here at Yelang Mountain, nothing will happen. Besides, I left Yu Rang there. Although that guy is not very good, he is still a descendant." Kong Lingzhi said with certainty.
"What do you think we should do now?" Lin Haoming asked.
"First capture the capital, and then return to the army, leaving only Yang Xicheng's men." Kong Lingzhi stated his intention directly.
"Yang Xicheng is loyal to the imperial court." Lin Haoming sighed.
"Killing him will completely break with the Southern God Kingdom. And he must have noticed your presence. He even only asked me to take my troops there, just to separate you and me." Lin Haoming also said the key point.
"My men and horses only listen to me. Yang Xi only has one hundred thousand men. If we really take action, he is no match for me." Kong Lingzhi promised.
"Yes, it seems that there are some things where safe methods are not enough and must be dealt with ruthlessly." Lin Haoming said coldly.
Faced with Lin Haoming's determination, Kong Lingzhi also nodded.
That night, Lin Haoming called over the generals he had promoted and told them that everything would follow Kong Lingzhi's orders, and then he left directly with his 10,000 troops.
