Chapter 222: The Supreme Merit Is Saving the Emperor_1

Chapter 222

Lin Wenti, a great general of the northwest, was an individual on par with Yuchi Li, responsible for the defense of the Empire's northwest frontline.

A year ago, in that war, Lin Wenti neglected his duties, failed to defend the city, and ended up deserting his post. Upon his return to the Capital City, Emperor Ming charged him with a serious crime and his entire family was executed.

If today Yang Longting is the pride of the imperial soldiers, then Lin Wenti is the shame. Many would grind their teeth in anger when they thought of him, wishing to tear him limb from limb.

However, there were those who said that Lin Wenti was merely a sacrificial pawn in the struggle between civil and military officers and that because the reinforcements he was promised never arrived, he had no choice but to suffer defeat.
