Beauty and the Bodyguard

The Prince was helpless. The messenger had been killed, and there was no way to talk. It was clear that they wanted to kill them all first, so he could not resist.

If the Emperor wanted the subject to die, the subject had to die. These words were said by him to the people under him. When he was the subject under him, he would not obediently follow them.

"Thank you for your trust, my King!"

Lin Yi cupped his fists. He didn\'t need the Prince\'s permission to fight, but with an official identity, it\'d be more convenient for him to travel within the borders of a conferred Kingdom.

"This King doesn\'t trust you, but I have no choice!"

The Prince glared at Lin Yi, his words direct and undisguised.

In fact, he had heard of Lin Yi\'s miraculous battle record against the seitong Commandery, so he still had some hope.

Perhaps, with such a famous general, it was possible for the weak to defeat the strong and stop the attack of the Shanlian Empire.

As long as they could block it, they might have a chance to return to the negotiation table!

"Your Majesty, I think you\'d better hurry up and study the marriage between Liu Ziyu and the third Princess. Don\'t let those idiots from Shanlian affect our official business!"

Lin Yi, on the other hand, was quite relaxed-he even had the mood to talk nonsense with the Prince.

"let\'s not talk about this for now. just tell me how you need this king to support you!"

the prince waved his hand impatiently, cutting lin yi off."there are 30000 regular soldiers defending the border. they probably won\'t last long against 300000 soldiers."

"i can only gather around 100000 men for you at the moment. i can still transfer more from other places, but it will take time. you don\'t have to worry about logistics, this king can ensure that you have enough food. "

"also ..."

since the prince had decided to let lin yi fight, he didn\'t hide anything and started listing out the resources he had.

there were definitely not many troops!

the 30,000 regular troops at the border were not used for defense. that was the border of the suzerain country, how could there be troops stationed there for defense?

the thirty thousand regular soldiers were mostly responsible for protecting the safety of the cities in that area and exterminating bandits when they were free.

now that they were suddenly faced with the invasion of 300000 soldiers from their suzerain kingdom, the prince of the long bang felt that the reason they did not surrender at the first moment was most likely because the shanlian empire did not accept surrender and wanted to destroy the conferred kingdoms of the long bang.

"your majesty, there\'s no need to trouble yourself. i have soldiers!"

lin yi interrupted,"to deal with the shanlian empire, the king\'s men only need to provide assistance. if the king sends a reliable general to cooperate with me, we will definitely win this battle!"

Prince long bang\'s eyes lit up, and he could not help but sit up straight."Oh? Sima Zhongda, you have a secret army? How many people were there? How do you want this King\'s people to cooperate with you?"

He was still thinking that Sima Zhong da was indeed a famous general and had already made arrangements in secret!

He, a Prince of a conferred Kingdom in the Dragon state, had not received any news at all!

When the Shanlian Empire\'s invasion was settled, he must find a way to recruit Sima Zhongda under his command. It would not matter if he was directly conferred the title of Commandery Prince of Hongshang Commandery.

"What secret army? The king misunderstood! I don\'t have any secret army. Didn\'t Liu Ziyu just say that we only have eight hundred people?"

Lin Yi looked at the Prince, confused."Have you forgotten?"

The Prince\'s body went limp, and he slumped back into his chair. It was as if all his energy had been sucked out.

To hell with your secret army!

What famous general! He must be a lunatic!

Did he think that he was invincible after fighting a few small battles in the countryside?

How could eight-hundred personal guards possibly fight against the Shanlian Empire? Just the vanguard alone had 300000, Oh, 300000!

They were not the trash soldiers of the selencopper Commandery, but the elite troops of the Shanlian Empire!

Even a lunatic wouldn\'t do such a crazy thing!

"Sima Zhong da, you\'re not thinking of throwing your life away to appease the anger of the Shanlian Empire, are you?"

The Prince of the long bang felt his head hurt again, so he could only come up with this explanation.

1,000 against 300000, no matter how one looked at it, it was just courting death!

The problem was that if they went to die like this, they would only be treated as a joke by the Shanlian Empire. What was the point? It\'s better to let this King tie you up and use you as a bargaining chip. Perhaps the hope will be a little higher.

"Your Majesty, you think too much!"

Lin Yi was probably the only person in the entire conferred Kingdom who dared to say that the Prince was overthinking things."there is no suspense in this battle. our army will win. your majesty, you just need to wait to celebrate."

lin yi didn\'t really care what the prince thought.

Prince long bang felt that he had no hope left and threw a token to Lin Yi,"Go to the Bureau of military personnel and mobilize all soldiers under one hundred thousand. As for the rest, do as you see fit!"

Eight hundred wasn\'t enough, but a hundred thousand might be enough. The Prince didn\'t want to talk to Lin Yi anymore, and waved him away.

After Lin Yi left, the Prince quickly summoned his trusted generals and ordered them to lead their own troops.

Although they could not defeat the Shanlian Empire, they still needed to resist!

He couldn\'t really stretch out his neck and let himself be killed. That would be too disgraceful. After resisting and being defeated, he could at least give himself an explanation!

Lin Yi didn\'t care about the movements of the long bang conferred Kingdom\'s military. After leaving the palace, he went to the Ministry of War to report and give the eight hundred Guard units new equipment.

Compared to the military equipment of the conferred kingdoms of the Dragon state, the ones in Hongshang Commandery were much worse. Even the equipment from the central cooperative Chamber of Commerce was far inferior to those of the conferred kingdoms of the Dragon state.

After getting the equipment and the documents, Lin Yi set off with the eight hundred guards!

Liu Ziyu went with them. The Prince wouldn\'t allow Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu to leave the capital at the same time, but the Shanlian Empire was already at their doorstep. What was the point of keeping Liu Ziyu as a hostage?

After all, when the nest was overturned, no eggs would remain intact. The conferred Kingdom was destroyed, and Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu wouldn\'t be able to escape from the hands of the Shanlian Empire, either.

A conferred Kingdom was rich in resources, and Lin Yi had brought eight hundred guards with him. Each person had three horses, and they took turns riding the horses.

In just ten days or so, he had rushed to the border of the Dragon state\'s conferred Kingdom without stopping!

However, in these ten days, the entire border city had already fallen.

The 300,000 troops of the Shanlian Empire had split up to attack, but they still managed to kill all 30000 of the defending troops.

As for the civilians of the border conferred kingdoms of the Dragon state, those who did not die were reduced to slaves.

A portion of them were sent back to work in the area under the jurisdiction of the Shanlian Empire, while the rest were made into slave armies and were driven away by the Shanlian Empire\'s regular army to be used as cannon fodder.
