If you're made a fake emperor, why did you change the country's name?

The trees are lush, and the road is made of bluestone.

tread.....

tread.....

tread.....

The sound of powerful footsteps echoed along the avenue, where countless armored soldiers wearing felt hats marched.

Flags fluttered in the wind, bearing the three large characters "Erzilang" (Two Wolf Sons)!

Inside a luxurious sedan chair in the center of the army.

Xiaoyue Jinquan held a folding fan and gently waved it, his face showing great pleasure, as if he were on a spring outing.

He lifted the sedan curtain and waved to a general outside.

Upon seeing this, the general quickly stepped forward.

"Cub Wolf".

"Pass down the order: the army shall stop at the next post station, set up camp, and rest for the night."

The general looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"Erzilang, if we rest now, we probably won't arrive at the capital of Daliang until tomorrow afternoon."

Xiaoyue Jinquan closed his folding fan without a care and tapped his palm lightly.

"It's afternoon then. Can the Prince of Zhennan still fly? It won't make a difference if it's just a day or two."

Then, he changed the subject. "By the way, how's the person you asked me to catch coming along?"

The general immediately bowed and replied, "Reporting to Erzilang, more than three hundred Liang people have been captured along the way and are being held at the end of the procession."

"Only three hundred?"

Xiaoyue Jin Quan frowned, his face clearly showing dissatisfaction with the answer.

Not enough, far from enough.

Expand the area for the arrests further. Before we set off tomorrow, the Wolves of the Army need to see at least a thousand people.

"yes!"

The general dared not ask any further questions and accepted the order to leave.

……

Inside the Tianji Pavilion.

Zhao Yu looked at the image in the mirror and pursed his lips helplessly.

Just as expected, the cannon's weakness was indeed discovered by this show-off.

They used the common people of Daliang as human shields, and when it came time to attack, they directly mixed them into the army.

Cannons, with their area-of-effect damage, do not have the ability to select enemies.

At that time, as long as he orders the cannons to be fired, the people of Daliang will inevitably suffer casualties.

If this show-off does some pre-event propaganda, public unrest will be a minor issue compared to the morale of the military.

The proverb "to throw a stone at a rat for fear of breaking the vase" perfectly describes this situation.

But if the cannons aren't fired, and the magical weapon of the Red Coat Cannon is no longer available, hand-to-hand combat will be unavoidable.

At that time, the disadvantage in numbers will be fully exposed.

What a vicious and cunning scheme!

He had to accept this move. Although he had taken some precautions, they were still unresolved, and a close-quarters battle was most likely unavoidable.

Fortunately, the combined forces of Xiaoyue Jinshang and Xiaoyue Jindao, totaling 60,000 men, have been decimated; otherwise, the pressure would have been immense if all three forces had converged.

Zhao Yu composed himself and spoke calmly.

"Next."

The image on the Celestial Mirror began to fluctuate again.

……

The familiar leather tent, the familiar wooden table, the familiar wolf-skin boy.

Without a doubt, it was once again in Xiaoyue Jinshang's military tent.

"Hahaha! That's great! That's really great!"

Xiaoyue Jinshang drank heavily and laughed loudly, as excited as if he had won millions.

Tuoba Hu, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and whispered his compliments.

"Congratulations, Zilang! The Five Wolves have suffered a crushing defeat, bringing you one step closer to becoming the Wolf Lord!"

"That's right!"

boom!

Xiaoyue Jinshang downed the wine in his bowl in one gulp and smashed it on the ground.

"Serves you right!"

That idiot used to call me useless every day, but look at me now.

I led 30,000 troops to attack, and lost 15,000. What about him?

Fifty thousand troops, a full fifty thousand troops! They lost twenty-eight thousand men and only managed to kill less than two hundred enemy soldiers before being driven back!

Compared to me, isn't he even more useless? Hahahaha!

"Yes, yes, yes! Zilang is right! Those five wolves are strong, but in reality, they are not even a tenth as strong as Zilang as the others." Tuoba Hu echoed.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

After Xiaoyue Jinshang finished laughing, he looked at Tuoba Hu and nodded in satisfaction.

"You did well this time. Once I take back the name 'Tooth,' I will assign several small tribes to you as slaves to make up for the losses your Tuoba clan suffered this time."

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Hu was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Zilang! Thank you, Zilang!"

Xiaoyue Jinshang waved his hand, then clicked his tongue in displeasure.

"What a pity, this time those strange cannons from the Great Liang didn't manage to blast that Golden Knife guy to death!"

Tuoba Hu's eyes darted around, and he put on a fawning expression.

"Zilang, in my opinion, that's not necessarily true."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue Jinshang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked for more information.

"What brilliant idea do you have now? Tell us quickly!"

Tuoba Hu lowered his voice and chuckled.

"Zilang, have you forgotten?"

Our spies in Daliang have just sent word that the Daliang emperor will be making a tour of the capital tomorrow to boost morale.

Xiaoyue Jinshang looked puzzled: "So what if he's on an inspection tour? Does it make the Emperor of Liang come out and kill Jin Dao?"

Tuoba Hu smiled even more broadly and coaxed, "Zilang, we can't let the Emperor of Liang come out and kill Wuzilang during the inspection tour, but we can let Wuzilang stick his head out and let the Emperor of Liang kill him."

"What do you mean? Explain in detail." Xiaoyue Jinshang showed interest.

"Think about it, the Five Wolves just suffered such a huge defeat, how can they be willing to accept it?"

"At this point, if we 'accidentally' reveal to him the secret passage beneath the imperial city, and the news of the Liang Emperor's inspection tour tomorrow, what do you think he would do?"

Xiaoyue Jinshang's eyes lit up instantly!

"Wonderful!"

That brute Jin Dao has suffered such a great loss; he must be consumed by rage!

If he knew there was a secret passage to infiltrate the capital, and that the young emperor was going on a tour, he would definitely take a desperate gamble and lead men to infiltrate the capital to assassinate him!

At this point, Xiaoyue Jinshang's smile turned ferocious.

"At that time, I will reveal to that little emperor the news that the Golden Knife has infiltrated the imperial city to assassinate him!"

That bastard Jin Dao is courting death! Hahahaha!

After Xiaoyue Jinshang finished laughing, he slapped his thigh and said:

"That's what we'll do!"

Tuoba Hu! Make arrangements immediately to have the Gan family inform the Emperor of Liang!

This wolf is going to personally "visit" my good fifth brother who suffered a defeat!

"yes!"

Tuoba Hu accepted the order and bowed as he withdrew.

……

Inside the Tianji Pavilion.

Looking at Xiaoyue Jinshang dancing wildly in the mirror, Zhao Yu couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

These two talented individuals are still performing consistently well.

Rumors in the martial arts world are indeed unreliable. Who said Xiaoyue Jinshang is a brainless good-for-nothing?

This is clearly a treasure!

Having obtained Xiaoyue Jinshang is like having a hundred thousand troops!

He had just been thinking that if fishing failed this time, he would have to use a feigned surrender to try and trick Xiaoyue Jindao into the city.

Now it seems that it's not necessary to go through all that trouble.

The effect of feigning surrender is definitely not as good as walking into a trap.

Zhao Yu was in a great mood and waved to the empty hall.

"Next one."

As soon as he finished speaking, the image on the Heavenly Mirror began to fluctuate again...

....................

A huge bearskin chair was placed in the center of the military tent, with weapon racks on both sides filled with all kinds of weapons.

Each weapon is large and wild in style.

Without a doubt, this is the central tent of the Five Wolves and Howling Moon Golden Blade.

Unlike the cheerful laughter on Xiaoyue Jinshang's side, the atmosphere inside Xiaoyue Jindao's military tent was oppressive.

Several Wolf Kingdom generals knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, not daring to even lift their heads.

Before them stood the muscular Howling Moon Golden Blade, his face so dark it seemed to drip water.

The entire tent was deathly silent.

Suddenly, the Howling Moon Golden Blade moved.

He suddenly took a step forward and grabbed the man's shoulders with both hands.

The general was terrified and frantically begged for mercy.

"You little wolf, spare me! You little wolf, spare me!"

"waste!"

Unfortunately, the Howling Moon Golden Blade ignored his pleas for mercy and instead let out a beast-like roar, its large, fan-like hand exerting force suddenly.

Stab it--!

Amidst everyone's horrified gazes, the Howling Moon Golden Blade actually tore the soldier in half!

Hot blood and pieces of internal organs were splattered all over the ground.

The other generals were terrified, kowtowing repeatedly and begging for mercy incoherently.

"You little wolf, spare me! You little wolf, spare me!"

"We don't know why the weapons of the Great Liang are so powerful!"

........

Inside the Tianji Pavilion.

Uh ~

Zhao Yu watched this scene with disgust.

He's such a primitive man, incredibly violent.

Moreover, he has an insatiable temper. When he loses a battle, he takes it out on his own people. Being subordinate to someone like that is truly the worst luck imaginable.

However, this tyrannical nature is just right.

Hopefully, after tomorrow, Xiaoyue Jindao, you won't feel depressed because you can no longer tear people apart.

Zhao Yu's lips curled up in a smile.
