A bed that traverses countless worlds

Chapter 37: Expanding Momentum Hindered, Breaking the Dilemma with Wisdom

After Lin Yu's forces achieved a partial victory, their reputation spread throughout the city, and the banquet hall was filled with laughter and toasts.

Lin Yu sat in the main seat, his eyes blazing, but he already knew in his heart that this was only the first step in a long journey.

Just then, a man in black appeared silently at the entrance of the banquet hall, handed Lin Yu a letter, and then quickly disappeared into the night.

Lin Yu opened the letter, and his expression changed drastically.

The letter contained only a few words: "Waiting for your arrival to massacre the entire city." He suddenly stood up, his sharp eyes scanning his surroundings, an ominous premonition filling the air.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!" His voice was solemn and resolute, instantly shattering the joyful atmosphere of the banquet.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Yu's forces were thrown into turmoil, and a tense and oppressive atmosphere enveloped everyone.

Lin Yu was well aware of the seriousness of the crisis. His brows furrowed as he quickly analyzed countermeasures in his mind.

The news that the city lord had joined forces with several other forces and was planning a siege against them came as a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone.

Just as Lin Yu was pondering a solution, the city lord's messenger appeared outside the banquet hall.

The envoy, dressed in a magnificent robe, wore a cold smile. On the surface, he had come to seek peace, but in reality, he had come to probe the truth.

Lin Yu knew it was a trap, but he did not back down and calmly went to meet it.

"Chief Lin Yu, the city lord is willing to spare your life, provided you hand over half of your territory. The city lord is willing to withdraw his troops." The envoy's words were full of provocation and threat, as if he was waiting for Lin Yu's reaction.

Lin Yu did not answer immediately. He stared coldly at the envoy, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

“Go back and tell the city lord that I, Lin Yu, never kneel before anyone. If he really has the guts, let him try.” Lin Yu’s tone was firm and unwavering.

The envoy's sneer froze instantly, clearly not expecting Lin Yu to be so resolute.

"Do you really think you can defeat the city lord? Don't forget, the city lord's power is far greater than you imagine." There was a hint of threat in his voice.

Lin Yu smiled slightly, his eyes full of confidence.

“Go back and tell the city lord that I will personally go to his residence, but not to sue for peace, but to demand an explanation.” His tone left no room for doubt, causing the envoy to feel a chill.

"You're courting death." The envoy sneered, turned and left, leaving behind these words before departing.

Lin Yu watched the envoy leave, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He knew that the real battle had just begun.

He turned to the crowd, his voice firm and powerful: "Everyone, get ready, we're about to face a tough battle tonight." With that, he turned and walked to the back hall to begin outlining a detailed action plan.

Lin Yu returned to the back hall, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Old man, do you think I'll just give in? You're too naive!" He quickly gathered his confidants and began to devise a counter-espionage plan.

"Kong Yang, go find a few clever brothers and spread the word that we plan to break out from the west gate," Lin Yu instructed. "Remember, make it seem real and don't give anything away."

Kong Yang accepted the order and quickly spread the false information.

The news quickly reached the city lord's ears, and he was overjoyed. He immediately mobilized a large force to prepare to surround Lin Yu at the west gate.

"Lin Yu, you brat, let's see where you run this time!" The city lord thought smugly, completely unaware that he had fallen into Lin Yu's trap.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu strengthened the defenses at the East Gate, setting up traps and waiting for the city lord's army to walk right into the trap.

His men admired his wisdom and vowed to follow him to the death.

"Boss, you're a genius! This counter-espionage plot is absolutely brilliant!"

"That old bastard, the city lord, would never have imagined that we'd be waiting for him at the east gate!"

Sure enough, the city lord's army marched towards the west gate in a grand procession, only to find it empty.

By the time they realized they had been tricked, Lin Yu's army had already stormed out from the east gate, catching them completely off guard.

"What's going on? How come they're at the East Gate?" The city lord was panicked and completely lost his composure.

Lin Yu's army was in high spirits and advanced with unstoppable momentum, while the city lord's army suffered repeated defeats.

Seeing the bravery of Lin Yu's forces, the surrounding people cheered for them. Those who had previously remained neutral towards Lin Yu's forces began to look at them differently, and some even secretly joined Lin Yu's ranks.

Although the city lord's plans were disrupted, he was still unwilling to give up and sent a small elite force to probe and attack.

The enemy launched a fierce attack at the beginning, and Lin Yu's forces were somewhat unable to withstand it.

Lin Yu remained calm in the face of danger and decisively ordered, "Shieldbearers, advance! Archers, prepare!" The shieldbearers formed a solid shield wall to block the enemy's attack, while the archers aimed at the enemy and rained down arrows.

The enemy was caught off guard and their formation was thrown into chaos.

Lin Yu seized the opportunity and ordered his men to flank the enemy from the side.

"Charge!" Lin Yu commanded, and his men charged into the enemy ranks like tigers descending a mountain.

The enemy was attacked from both sides, and was routed, abandoning their armor and weapons and fleeing in all directions.

Throughout the battle, Su Yao stayed by Lin Yu's side.

She handed Lin Yu the weapon, her eyes full of trust and reliance. This display of affection was enough to make any single person envious.

Lin Yu felt warmed by Su Yao's support, which strengthened his resolve to protect Su Yao and his own forces. After all, a wife, children, and a warm bed are the ultimate goals in life!

On the city lord's side, the soldiers were beaten so badly that they ran away in panic, crying and screaming, almost shouting, "Brother, don't kill me!"

Just when they thought Lin Yu would press his advantage and beat them while they were down, Lin Yu ordered his men to stop the pursuit.

"Wait! Stop chasing!" Lin Yu waved his hand, and the whole place fell silent.

Instead, he had his men treat the wounded enemies, even bandaging their wounds and sending them back to the city lord's mansion, making it seem like he was delivering takeout.

This move completely baffled the city lord. He originally thought Lin Yu would eliminate all traces of the enemy and wipe them out, but instead, Lin Yu used virtue to win people over. This was simply killing someone by destroying their spirit!

The city lord's soldiers were also stunned, and they all said, "Brother, you're such a good person, we'll follow you from now on!" The city lord began to worry that his soldiers might defect, after all, who wouldn't want to follow a benevolent boss?

Although Lin Yu had temporarily relieved the city lord's siege, he knew that the city lord would not let it go so easily; that old rascal was definitely up to no good.

To gain a foothold in the city and become the most stylish person on the street, you need to put in more effort.

Lin Yu lay on the bed, lost in thought...

Suddenly, he sat up abruptly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "Kong Yang, come here for a moment, I have something to discuss with you..."
