At the tender age of eight, he was hastily dragged out and made emperor!

There are wise people and fools in this world. Some people are stubborn about certain things and certain views, which are incomprehensible even to normal people. It is precisely because there are some fools that this world is so interesting.

Li Jin, that's the idiot.

Having experienced the darkest and most turbulent period, what Li Jin least wants to experience in his life is the return of chaos.

Because in that chaotic and collapsing world, human life was the least valuable thing. People were killed, eaten, abused, and persecuted. Li Jin had seen too much misery, so he did not want to recall it.

"Cough cough~"

A burst of rapid coughing broke the tranquility of the room.

On a desolate Gobi Desert.

A cavalry force was scattered throughout the area.

It's very large.

But there was no sound.

This was the most elite and ace cavalry under the command of the Duke of Dayu and the General Who Conquers the West. They were called the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and those who could join this unit were all skilled in riding and archery.

"Father!"

"General!"

Upon hearing the cough, the officers all hurried toward one spot, their faces filled with worry as they stared at the old man sitting on the boulder.

The old man looked haggard, with traces of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Why are you all looking so long-faced?"

Li Jin smiled, glanced at the officers and soldiers before him, and then feigned displeasure, saying, "What? Are you just hoping I'll die?!"

"Father!!"

"General!!"

These tough men, upon hearing Li Jin's words, all had slightly red eyes, some even with tears welling up in their eyes, their hearts filled with pent-up anger!

That damned Trump!

"Alright, stop acting like a girl."

Li Jin's hands trembled as he leaned against the boulder to his feet. "The main force of Xichuan has already approached our strategic Xiliang territory. Our army has been lying in wait in this secret passage for several days. It's time for us to make our move!"

"Damn it, they think sending assassins to kill me will get them into my Xiliang territory? Damn it, even if I die, I'll cripple them!!!"

The eyes of all the generals gathered before him changed completely.

Since their adoptive father/general was assassinated by Xichuan but failed, the situation in the Xiliang area has been quietly changing. Li Jin did a lot of things for this, but it caused a lot of controversy.

In particular, Li Jin's announcement that the "Demon Empress" was ruling the court and that he was leading his army eastward to attack Yudu shocked many people. However, despite their shock, none of them made any move and instead chose to go see Li Jin.

Upon seeing this, some things became clear.

“Father, our army has ventured deep into enemy territory alone. We have entrusted Xiliang to Zhang Hong, a civil official. Can he really withstand the more than 200,000 troops from Xichuan?” A man stepped forward and clasped his hands in a salute to Li Jin.

"how?"

After hearing this, Li Jin looked at the man and said, "Do you doubt my judgment?"

"Don't you dare!"

The man hurriedly knelt on one knee and said, "This matter is of utmost importance. If Zhang Hong cannot defend against the enemy invading from Xichuan, even if our army ventures deep into Xichuan's heartland, I fear..."

"Haha, you still don't understand Zhang Hong."

Li Jin laughed loudly, pointed at the man and said, "This guy, don't be fooled by his fair complexion, his refined speech, and his somewhat pedantic ways of doing things, you can't underestimate him."

"This guy has a ruthless streak. If you push him to the brink, he can be incredibly ruthless. Not to mention you guys, even I might not be able to match him."

Ok?

Upon hearing this, all the assembled generals looked astonished.

Just him?

impossible!

Some people who knew Zhang Hong compared Li Jin's words with their memories and couldn't find any comparable examples.

"Blow the horn."

Seeing the generals' reaction, Li Jin stopped explaining and instead gave a sharp look, speaking in a low, deep voice.

That imposing aura, though not angry, was so powerful that no one dared to resist it!

"Here!"

The generals responded in unison.

"Woooooo~"

Before long, a long horn sounded, and nearly ten thousand Xiliang cavalry scattered here began to move, dust billowing up the area.

"Rain Battalion, assemble!!"

"Martial Arts Battalion, assemble!!"

"Wind Battalion, assemble!!"

On the desolate Gobi Desert, shouts rang out, banners fluttered in the wind amidst the flying dust, and cavalrymen rode forward on horseback.

The earth began to tremble slightly.

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a long and winding cavalry force gathered in this world, and as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but endless blackness.

"Da da~"

In this situation, amidst the torrent of cavalry, mounted soldiers carrying command flags galloped swiftly through the ranks.

"Issue the General's order! Kill the Chuan Hu!"

"Issue the General's order! Kill the Chuan Hu!"

Shouts echoed through the sky, and the cavalry torrent changed. Looking around, one could see mounted soldiers standing still, their faces covered by iron shields, but their eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Da da da~"

As time went by, the earth began to tremble, and the frequency of the tremors increased. Gradually, a black torrent began to surge across the yellowish-brown Gobi Desert.

Apart from the echoing sound of horses' hooves, there was no other sound in the world.

"Emperor, after this old minister finishes this battle, I will come down to drink with you." Surrounded by the cavalry, Li Jin moved forward slightly, his body bobbing up and down with the galloping of his mount. In his hand, he held a long sword. Looking at the surging crowd ahead, an intense fighting spirit rose within Li Jin!

He knew his days were numbered, but he didn't want to die in his bed; he wanted to die on the battlefield!

The Xiliang cavalry that followed him into battle were all, without exception, prepared to die. Despite knowing the imminent danger of death, so many of them were still willing to follow Li Jin to raid the heart of Xichuan.

This route was compiled by Li Jin after guarding the border for a long time, sending out countless spies and shedding countless blood.

Li Jin knew, of course, that his current actions were foolish, but his days were numbered. Having guarded Xiliang for so many years, Li Jin knew Xichuan, this formidable enemy, all too well.

If his death causes unrest in Xiliang, then Xichuan will definitely take advantage of the situation. Moreover, the current Dayu has a new ruler who is only eight years old. Li Jin dares not even think about what his death will bring to Xiliang in such a situation where the ruler is weak and the new ruler is strong, and even the various factions in the central government are constantly fighting!

"kill!!!"

Li Jin, his heart heavy with resentment, suddenly raised his sword and roared as he galloped, which inspired those around him to roar as well, and gradually the cavalry surge spread outwards.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

The shouts rose higher and higher, causing the heavens and earth to tremble even more violently. Although this journey was fraught with certain death, not a single person in the torrent showed any fear. This was the Xiliang Iron Cavalry of the Great Yu!
