Cultivating Immortals In The Family: My Ancestor Loves Planting Trees

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best. I promise that after the caravan enters the Nantang Kingdom, the public opinion of the south will be completely ignited within three days."

Yuan Gang smiled evilly. Li Tai was indeed the chief of staff of the Southern Army. Although he had no cultivation, he was unparalleled in intelligence and was especially good at propaganda.

"For this battle, the left, right, and rear armies will be mobilized. The flying boats and archers will work together."

"The Nantang Kingdom will be the first step for Lingyun. We must win this battle."

Li Tai continued to instruct.

"Your Majesty, my front army wants to join the battle too!"

Front General Guan Ning was dissatisfied when he saw that the other three armies wanted to join the battle.

"Guan Ning, you little rascal. Why are you doing whatever Your Majesty tells you to do? How dare you rebel!"

When Li Kaishan heard this, he immediately lashed out at him.

"That's enough, Guan Ning. The front army's mission is not any weaker than the other armies. The west of Lingyun has the Parang Desert as a natural barrier. The east has the boundless ocean. Only the north has the Sky Sword Sect and the Gobei Dynasty, which is a powerful enemy."

"The Gobei Dynasty is not as weak as the Nantang Kingdom. The Ash Wolf Knight Regiment is famous in all the dynasties. We have suffered many losses in the previous dynasty."

"This time, the front army not only has to be wary of the Sky Sword Sect but also the Ash Wolf Knight Regiment. The front army's mission is very important. That's why I didn't send you to join the battle."

Li Tai continued to explain.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The front army will not let any enemy step into Lingyun's territory."

Guan Ning regained his determined look. At the same time, he looked at the other three with a hint of arrogance.

It was as if he was saying, "Look, I am more special than the three of you. I have a more important goal."

Guan Ning and the other three were of similar age and had the same talent. They were also valued by Li Tai.

Of course, Li Tai was happy to do so.

Then, Li Tai gave some other instructions. The most important one was the issue of the spoils of war from the Nantang Kingdom.

Li Tai directly stated that the soldiers could keep half of the spoils for themselves.

This statement shocked everyone. After all, there was no such precedent in the entire continent.

To put it bluntly, the soldiers in the army were all cannon fodder without spiritual roots. In the world of cultivators, such cannon fodder was naturally not that valuable!

Therefore, 10% of the spoils of war would go into the pockets of the soldiers, which was already considered a great favor. However, there was almost no precedent for Li Tai to directly take half of the spoils of war.

However, since Li Tai had said so, none of the officials dared to raise any objections.

Thus, the cabinet meeting ended just like that.

In the end, Li Tai left behind his two sons, Prince Gong and Prince An. He originally wanted to chat about their daily lives. After all, although the two of them were good-for-nothings, they were still his sons.

However, whether it was Li Ping or Li Fan, compared to their old father, they seemed to be more eager to go back and see their beautiful concubines.

Li Tai sighed inwardly. He immediately scolded the two of them and sent them back. The two of them did not know why and were scolded. Seeing that their old father did not want to see them, they immediately ran out of the palace as if relieved of a heavy burden.

Seeing this, Li Tai sighed a few more times.

"Forget it. As long as they are safe and happy, as a father, I will protect them for the rest of their lives. If they want to get over it, then let them be."

Five days later, in a death row prison in the south of Lingyun, a scholar holding a fan and a silk scarf walked out with a smile on his face. As soon as the scholar came out, a secret guard appeared beside him.

"Has the news been sent out?"

The scholar said calmly.

"Sir, we have already found a large number of people to spread the news in the various cities in the south and the borders of Nantang. In a few days, the news will quickly spread."

The secret guard said with a respectful face.

"Good, well done. Tonight, secretly pull the people to Nantang. Tomorrow, I want to see the corpse carriage in the border city."

A cold light flashed in the scholar's eyes.

In a teahouse in the border city.

"Brother, have you heard?

The royal business group sent by His Majesty to meet the King of Nantang was killed by bandits in Nantang yesterday. "

"How is that possible?

My cousin is the guard of the border city. Why haven't I heard of His Majesty's business group passing by our border? "

In the teahouse, some people spread the news while others refuted it.

The royal business group sent by His Majesty died in the enemy's territory. This important news instantly attracted everyone's attention.

This small teahouse was instantly surrounded by many onlookers.

"Eh?

Look, what are those soldiers pulling? "

"It's a corpse … a corpse!"

"Look at the last carriage. That yellow symbol is the symbol of the royal business group."

"Damn the people of Nantang. They even dare to attack the royal business group of Lingyun. Do they think that there is no one in Lingyun who can fight them?"

Just when everyone was still doubting the news, a bunch of corpse soldiers appeared in front of the border city and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Then, the discussions were like ordinary waves rising in the wind. In an instant, waves came one after another.

However, what everyone didn't notice was that a few people dressed as passers-by in the crowd were chuckling and leaving the scene instantly.

"Have you heard?

The diplomatic group of Lingyun died in our territory! "

"What? Brother, your news is too outdated. I heard that the King was not satisfied with the tribute from the Lingyun Dynasty and killed those people on the spot!"

"Ah, you're saying that Lingyun won't send troops to attack our country?"

"How is that possible? Lingyun just experienced internal strife and was founded less than a year ago. Why would we, the rich people of Nantang, be afraid of them?"

…

At this moment, similar discussions were going on in the border cities of Nantang.

Just when these discussions were still ongoing, the 310,000 troops of Lingyun had already arrived at the border of Nantang.

"Soldiers, the people of Nantang killed our diplomatic group and even insulted His Majesty. His Majesty has ordered us to attack Nantang. During this period, half of the spoils will be handed over and the other half will be kept."

"Divide the army into the left, middle, and right and advance towards Nantang!"

At the front of the army, Li Kaishan's cultivation was at the peak of spirit formation. His voice clearly fell into the ears of every soldier.

"What?

What's wrong?

What, half? Who said that? See if I don't beat the people of Nantang to death! "

A somewhat adorable soldier who was still sleepy a second ago was immediately energized.

At this moment, all the soldiers' eyes were shining with fighting spirit.

It wasn't that they hated the people of Nantang, nor was it that they loved His Majesty, Li Tai.

Even though Li Tai had already given them cultivation methods and improved their treatment, none of the soldiers were unwilling to die for His Majesty.

Their high spirits were only because of Li Kaishan's last sentence.

Who would dare to imagine that half of the spoils would be given to them?

Human nature was evil. Everyone was selfish in their bones. At least, this was human nature and couldn't be changed.

Spurred on by this human nature, Li Tai believed that Lingyun would definitely win this battle.
