Martial Arts Crossover: Starting as a member of the Imperial Guard, all the ladies are demons

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhi, who was standing to the side, immediately became displeased.

After all, he wanted to go too.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have fought against Tang Yunzhi before and understand his troop deployment. I also request to fight him."

"hehe."

Seeing Meng Zhi step forward, Xiao Jingyi chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "General Meng, please calm down."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yun and said, "You said 10, but I promise you 15. You must annihilate all the enemy forces."

"For this battle, I have only one condition for you."

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

"Beat them until they're terrified, then they'll come to the negotiating table!"

Xiao Jingyi's original plan was to have Marquis Yan reach an agreement with Southern Chu before he attacked Yan.

But now that the other party has treacherous intentions, let's give them a beating and make them obedient before we talk about anything else.

"Your subject will certainly not fail in his mission!"

Zhao Yun said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, minister..."

Upon seeing this, Meng Zhi immediately knelt down, still wanting to struggle a little more.

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Jingyi wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "General Meng, haven't you noticed that Prince Jing and Gao Shun have absolutely no interest in Southern Chu?"

"Ah...this..."

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhi looked at Gao Shun and Prince Jing and realized that they had shown absolutely no interest in going to Southern Chu from the beginning until now.

This puzzled him.

Shouldn't a military general be eager to rush into battle when the fighting starts?

Seeing that he had realized the problem, Xiao Jingyi immediately stood up, walked to the side where a map of Daliang and the surrounding countries was hanging, and pointed to Northern Yan.

"I intend to attack Northern Yan and bring all of its lands under the control of Liang. Prince Jing will be the commander-in-chief, and you and Gao Shun will follow him. Do you understand now?"

Upon hearing his words, Meng Zhi finally realized that His Majesty had already placed him on another battlefield.

Moreover, it was a war that annihilated a nation!

Good heavens! His Majesty has just ascended the throne and is about to destroy the country!

This is terrifying.

Meng Zhi seemed to have heard something unbelievable, but then, filled with boundless enthusiasm, he declared loudly, "Your subject will certainly not fail in your mission!"

This is a war of annihilation, and if successful, it will leave a significant mark on the history books of the Great Liang Dynasty.

"It's good that you understand. I spoke with Prince Jing about Northern Yan more than a month ago."

Xiao Jingyi nodded in satisfaction; he liked Meng Zhi's drive and energy.

"I originally planned to wait a while before going, but now that they've come to me, I'll use this as an excuse to wipe them out."

Xiao Jingyi dared to say that because he was confident.

Currently, the Great Liang is strong and well-equipped with supplies. Although it is not enough to defeat all the countries at once, it can certainly take on Northern Yan.

"Your subject will certainly not fail Your Majesty's command!"

"Your subject will certainly not fail Your Majesty's command!"

The four responded in unison.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi said, "Tomorrow morning at court, I will inform all the officials about this matter. You four must organize your battle plan after you return tonight."

"As ordered!"

Afterwards, Xiao Jingyi gave them a few more instructions and then dismissed them.

By the time he was all alone, it was already late at night.

"Sigh, who said being an emperor is carefree? This is a life of toil."

Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Xiao Jingyi made a comment, then sensed someone approaching. He knew who it was without turning around and said calmly.

"Eternal Night".

"The minister is here."

"I hereby appoint you as the Commander of the Dark Night, a third-rank official, to oversee all special agents and exercise the power to investigate the Empire's intelligence."

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty."

Yongye responded excitedly.

"Yes, for this operation in Northern Yan, I authorize you to mobilize all the agents in Northern Yan to cooperate with Prince Jing and have them launch a surprise attack on the enemy."

"Yes!"

"You know the code words for activating each agent, so I don't need to teach you these, do I?"

"Your Majesty, if we fail this time, Yongye will bring you his head."

Xiao Jingyi did not take Yongye's pledge to him seriously.

Because in his view, this was a war that was bound to be won.

The following day, in the imperial court, Minister of War Li Lin reported on the invasion by Northern Yan and Southern Chu, which shocked the court and the public.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jingyi issued the decree he had prepared the previous night.

Zhao Yun, the General Who Guards the South, led an army of 15 to resist the Southern Chu.

Prince Jing was appointed General Who Conquers the North, leading an army of 40 to attack Yan.

Because this was the first military action he had issued since ascending the throne, even if some ministers wanted to object, they dared not provoke him.

Of course, there's another point: if you're going to refute something, you need to be reasonable and have evidence to back it up.

The incident happened so suddenly that they hadn't yet figured out how to phrase it.

"Hmph, do those civil officials think I don't know they have objections to my campaign against Yan?"

After the court session, Xiao Jingyi snorted coldly.

Although everything went smoothly in the court just now, he was very clear about what those people were thinking.

Zhao Yun guarded the south, while Prince Jing campaigned in the north.

It is quite obvious that he intends to attack Yan.

The expressions on the faces of those civil officials were also quite intriguing.

"Your Majesty, it is normal for those ministers to have their concerns. Northern Yan is good at riding. Although our Great Liang has a strong army, when it comes to cavalry, Northern Yan is still more powerful."

This is what Mei Changsu, who was following behind Xiao Jingyi, said softly.

"That's normal. Believe it or not, within half a day, these people will come to me to offer their advice, saying how great the drawbacks of attacking Yan are."

Xiao Jingyi looked at Mei Changsu and said.

Upon hearing this, Mei Changsu was taken aback, then chuckled: "If I didn't know that Your Majesty already has sufficient troops, military equipment, and provisions, I would probably have objected as well."

When Mei Changsu first learned of Xiao Jingyi's plan to attack Yan, he actually wanted to oppose it.

But when Xiao Jingyi produced that long list of military equipment and at least 500 million shi of grain, he gave up.

They have soldiers, military equipment, and provisions.

Why bother arguing? Just fight!

Xiao Jingyi neither confirmed nor denied this, after all, wars in this era were all about manpower, military equipment, and supplies.

"By the way, I intend to leave the palace today. Would you like to come along?"

Upon hearing his invitation, Mei Changsu was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, where are we going?"

"A generous gift prepared by the Emperor for the Northern Yan cavalry."

"Does Your Majesty have a way to deal with the Northern Yan cavalry?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Changsu's eyes lit up. He only knew that Xiao Jingyi had stopped talking after mentioning the Northern Yan cavalry and his secret weapon.

Now it seems the secret weapon is ready.

Thinking of this, he immediately bowed and said, "Your subject is willing to go."

"Okay, let's go then."

Xiao Jingyi snapped his fingers, then changed his clothes and, along with Dian Wei and Mei Changsu, headed towards a deep mountain forest outside the city.

Looking around at the desolate landscape, Mei Changsu lowered the carriage curtain: "Your Majesty, the place you've chosen is quite remote."

"Since it's a secret weapon, how can it be shown to others so easily?"

Just as he finished speaking, a sharp shout came from ahead: "The Mo Dao Army is stationed here; passage is prohibited."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi said nothing, but took out a token and had Mei Changsu hand it to Dian Wei outside.

Having received his token, Dian Wei immediately displayed it to the soldiers in front of him: "Look carefully before you speak."

"This is...."

The soldiers guarding the position were stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened and they hurriedly saluted.

"I was unaware of Your Majesty's presence and stopped Your Majesty's carriage. Please forgive me."

Xiao Jingyi's voice rang out calmly: "Ignorance is no excuse. Go and inform Tian Anye that I have arrived, and tell him to prepare to report to me."

"Yes!"

The soldiers on guard immediately obeyed the order and hurriedly ran towards the military camp.

Inside the carriage, upon hearing the name "Mo Dao Army," Mei Changsu mentally scanned through all the army names of the Great Liang Dynasty but found no such army.

They immediately guessed that this was prepared by Xiao Jingyi.

Curious, he asked, "Your Majesty, is this Mo Dao Army a gift you prepared for the Northern Yan cavalry?"

"good."

"The Mo Dao Army uses a weapon called the Mo Dao, which is a long-handled broadsword with a double-edged blade, one zhang long and weighing fifteen jin."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that they are all infantry; they are capable of defeating cavalry. With one strike, men and horses are shattered."

Xiao Jingyi explained.

Mei Changsu, who was standing nearby, was stunned when he heard this.

A long sword, weighing fifteen jin (approximately 7.5 catties).

Those who can lift it must be quite something, right?

In addition, such powerful weapons.

He seemed to see the Mo Dao soldiers cutting down enemy horses.

He exclaimed excitedly, "If the Mo Dao Army is truly as Your Majesty says, then they will absolutely be the nightmare of the Northern Yan cavalry!"

"Go and see for yourself. I have put a lot of effort into this army."

"There are only 1 people so far."

1 million people?!

Mei Changsu exclaimed in surprise, then smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, 1 people is not a small number."

“My future enemies will not be them; 1 is indeed too few.”

Upon hearing these words, Mei Changsu fell silent.

Because he knew that Xiao Jingyi was right; if compared to dynasties like the Qin and Ming, 1 people was indeed a bit too few.

The two then fell silent and headed straight for the military camp.

As soon as they arrived, they heard noises coming from outside.

"Your subject, Tian Anye, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

When Xiao Jingyi (Li Haozhao) stepped out of the carriage, he saw a strong and muscular man bowing, followed by a group of mid-level generals from the Mo Dao Army.
