Although the original plan was to incorporate these people for his own use, there was a prerequisite, and that was that the personnel to be absorbed could only be the soldiers below.

As for these Generals, in Lin Yi’s mind, he actually didn’t have much attachment to them,

nor much intention of absorbing them as well.

After all, these individuals have become accustomed to being Generals, and it is unlikely they could be taken in for his own use.

By that time, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.

Rather than risk it, it would be better to replace them all directly.

That’s why Lin Yi thought about whether to take them out in one fell swoop.

If he took them all down, this place with tens of thousands of soldiers would be in chaos, and by that time, wouldn’t it be perfect to have his subordinates come in and reorganize?

Soldiers who are like scattered sand are easier to incorporate than those in command positions.

When he thought of this, his eyes couldn’t help but light up. At the same time, he thought that the next time he came over, he should gather all the troops below, then find a suitable opportunity to gather all these Generals together and take them out in one fell swoop. Although now is already a perfect opportunity.

There’s no need for anything else, just throwing a few grenades here and it would be over.

But there’s one thing that can’t be done.

And that is currently, his soldiers are still within Shanhai Pass.

Because of that, even if he cleared this place and the soldiers here fell into chaos, by the time his people arrived, these tens of thousands of troops would have scattered and fled, who knows to where?

By then, I’m afraid the desired outcome wouldn’t be achieved. After these people flee, a portion might return to their hometowns, but a large portion would most likely be gradually absorbed by the subsequent troops. By that time, his actions would be in vain, while also giving them a sense of caution.

Finding another opportunity wouldn’t be so easy.

So he could only helplessly shake his head, standing silently in a corner, starting to eavesdrop on their plans.

And this plan didn’t differ much from what he had guessed.

These people were indeed waiting for a cavalry, waiting for a cavalry of 30,000 men to arrive, after which they would organize a cavalry force of 50,000 men. By then, having this cavalry as the vanguard would be as easy as anything.

According to their strategy, the forces at Shanhai Pass were extremely weak at this time, and at most only over ten thousand were stationed there, which was an overestimation.

If not overestimated, the actual force might only be a few thousand.

Although Shanhai Pass could rely on its high walls and dangerous terrain for defense, a few thousand against tens of thousands still stood no chance of victory.

Especially since the Yan Country had already, for the sake of ten cities from six nations, progressed to a fierce stage, the Emperor had likely already sent troops to support there?

Once troops were sent from that side, this side would act immediately, by which time the Garrison at Shanhai Pass wouldn’t even get a single reinforcement; even if they couldn’t be taken down swiftly, the mere attrition would be enough to wear them out.

It must be said that the approach of this General is correct.

Some things, in conventional terms, are the right way.

But they would never have thought that there was an unconventional variable among them, and that variable was Lin Yi.

And at this time within Shanhai Pass, there were far more than just thousands of men.

What’s even more unbelievable is that Lin Yi, whom they described as the foolish Emperor, was right in their midst, standing in the corner listening to their conversations, the corners of his mouth curling into an amused smile.

It’s no exaggeration to say that if Lin Yi’s plan hadn’t been precisely arranged, they wouldn’t be discussing here, but would have already been sent underground by Lin Yi.

After wrapping up this topic, suddenly someone changed the tone and shifted the discussion to another angle:

"Reporting to the Grand General, what was that strange object we saw in the sky yesterday?

It made such a loud noise, our soldiers are currently quite anxious.

They’re spreading rumors that it might be some kind of Demon Technique used by the Right Country."

Upon hearing this, the Grand General immediately slammed the table, angrily scolding:

"Nonsense, rubbish about Demon Techniques, where would they have any such thing? Tell the ones below that it was just a big bird.

As for why it made such a loud noise? Isn’t it easy to explain? That big bird’s call was just a bit loud, what’s so strange about that?

Don’t bolster others’ ambitions and ruin your own morale. Just a small Right Country, even if it has vast lands, it doesn’t have a strong enough army, plus their chaotic lot has started internal fighting. Even the current Emperor can’t control his ministers to this extent; if we don’t take advantage now, when should we?"

The more he spoke, the more enthusiastic he became. At this point, he paused slightly, then suddenly burst into laughter, beginning to draw a grand picture for everyone:

"Haha. But in this way, doesn’t it also give us an opportunity?

Everyone present, when we break through the city walls of Dayou, once we enter Dayou, waiting for us will be endless wealth and glory.

There will be plenty of gold and silver treasures to plunder at will, by then whether lands or women, they will be yours for the taking.

I promise everyone here, by then each of you will have three days to freely plunder within the city."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instantly became excited, each one howling in excitement.

Three days of plundering, what concept is this? To plunder at will, wouldn’t that leave them with bulging pockets?

Wouldn’t they be able to seize countless beautiful women?

Haha, thinking of this, each of their eyes began to turn red. This is also what they are most willing to do.

After all, what is the head-throwing and blood-shedding for?

Isn’t it for this wealth and glory?

And now, with the Grand General’s words, it truly made them forget all their dissatisfaction for a moment, their minds filled only with excitement, thinking only about what to do after breaking through the city.
