Chapter 245: Deciding on a Countermove

As for Wang Mang, who was implanted into the Da Ling dynasty and continues his love-hate relationship with the old rival Liu clan.

That means he currently has nothing to do with Su Ye.

Speaking a bit arrogantly, even if that Wang Mang really is a transmigrator, so what?

On this brand-new stage, past glory and defeat have been cleared to zero; everyone must start anew.

That unlucky fellow struck by a falling meteorite.

Can anyone compete with me, a transmigrator born with a system that dares to fight the world's consciousness right from the start?

Of course, Su Ye is not that kind of blindly arrogant person.

He clearly knows that every transmigrator has their own opportunities and secrets.

Wang Mang's ability to leave a bold mark in history is enough to prove he is no ordinary person.

But in this brand-new world, everything is full of variables and possibilities.

Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You and the others had long been waiting; upon seeing Su Ye arrive, they all rose to salute.

The night deepened, moonlight like water spreading over the walls of Cangzhou.

If things really come to this, could Wang Mang still develop stronger than Su Ye?

Then Su Ye had better pack up and surrender quickly.

It would require a price beyond his imagination.

So, Su Ye didn't pay much attention to Wang Mang.

But how likely is that possibility?

Su Ye himself dare not even imagine it.

Su Ye gathered his thoughts and ordered the silent, dazed Item beside him.

"My lord, your words are absolutely correct."

"If Da Qian falls, the world will surely fall into chaos, and Cangzhou will not be able to remain untouched."

"Now the Da Qian dynasty has suffered defeat on the battlefields of Lu and Yan prefectures, and the news spread like thunder across the land."

"Gentlemen, Da Qian has lost the battlefields of Lu and Yan prefectures; the situation is worrisome."

"Although we are in Cangzhou, we too must make plans early."

Su Ye waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit, then got straight to the point.

"Item, have someone notify the military advisors; we have important matters to discuss."

"Rather than worrying about this, he would be better off focusing his time and energy on his own growth and improvement."

"Wang Mang wants to rise again in this age of chaotic demons."

"At this moment, inside the manor, lights blazed and warmth filled the air."

"Although Cangzhou lies in a remote corner, it too cannot escape the fate of wind and rain."

"Therefore, we should make plans early."

"At this moment, Su Ye stood in the inspector's mansion's council hall, dressed in a dark robe, hands behind his back; his eyes were deep as stars, gazing at the distant, flickering beacon fires, his heart surging."

"Xun Yu frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice."

""In a chaotic age, heroes arise in numbers.""

""Although Da Qian has fallen, it does not necessarily mean there is no day for a comeback.""

""We need only watch and wait for the right moment to act.""

"Guo Jia smiled faintly, a glint flashing in his eyes."

""What Feng Xiao said is quite right.""

"At this time, we should not act rashly; stability must come first."

""At the very least, we must give Cangzhou some time to develop and accumulate strength.""

"Xun You beside him nodded in agreement."

""What you all said makes sense.""

""Then, if Da Qian seeks our aid, what should we do?""

"Upon hearing this, Su Ye's heart stirred, and he pondered."

""If Da Qian asks for help, we naturally cannot stand by and do nothing.""

""Then, aiding Da Qian also requires careful strategy.""

""We can assist covertly, but we should not openly make a big show, lest we bring disaster upon ourselves.""

"Xun Yu stroked his beard and spoke slowly."

""What Wen Ruo means is, can we secretly support the Da Qian dynasty?""

""That is indeed a feasible method; only, how to carry it out still needs careful planning.""

"Upon hearing this, Su Ye's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness."

""My lord, there's no need to worry; with you by our side, what is there to fear about an unstable situation?""

"Guo Jia smiled slightly, his smile revealing a hint of cunning."

""Alright, Guo Fengxiao, you and I are kindred spirits; no need for these pleasantries.""

""I know you have a solution, but with our current predicament, relying solely on the few of us may not be enough to break through.""

"Su Ye waved his hand, signaling Guo Jia not to be overly optimistic."

""My lord, do you already have a good plan?""

"Upon hearing this, Xun Yu's brows furrowed slightly."

""Helping is definitely necessary.""

""Before we become the sole hegemon dominating one side.""

Better to keep a low profile; let Da Qian take the lead and get beaten up.

Let our Cangzhou faction develop discreetly in the rear.

Even concerning the stabilization of Da Qian's situation.

Su Ye already has a clue.

Thinking of this.

"I would like to ask everyone: if a commander equal to the Nine Heavens Army's Commander-in-Chief Wen Zhong were to come and lead our newly trained Cangzhou forces, could he stabilize the present Da Qian dynasty situation?"

Su Ye spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful, as if each word carried an inexplicable dignity.

"My lord, the name of Wen Zhong of the Nine Heavens Army is known throughout the world."

"His ability to command troops is beyond ordinary mortals. However, warfare is the way of deceit; those who excel in war do not rely solely on force to win, but also need strategic counsel."

"If a commander equal to Wen Zhong were to appear, aided by our strategists, we would surely gain strength like a tiger with wings, easily stabilizing the Da Qian situation."

Guo Jia lowered his head in thought for a moment, smiled slightly, stepped forward one pace, and bowed with clasped hands.

"What Feng Xiao said is absolutely correct."

"However, speed is essential in warfare; this commander must appear as soon as possible for the best plan."

"The current situation changes unpredictably; a slight hesitation could cause us to miss a good opportunity."

Xun Yu nodded in agreement.

"What Wen Ruo said is quite right."

"Furthermore, we must carefully select this commander; after all, the ability to command troops is not acquired overnight, requiring those with rich experience and both wisdom and courage."

Xun You beside him likewise said:

Su Ye listened, then nodded slightly, indicating his agreement.

"What you all said makes sense. However, time waits for no one; the selection of this commander must be finalized as soon as possible."

He glanced over everyone with a sharp gaze, then spoke in a deep voice.

Everyone was startled upon hearing this.

However, considering how our lord has held Cangzhou since taking full control,

Heroes from all sides flocked to join.

War gods and renowned commanders, rarely seen in ordinary times, appeared one after another.

Even in terms of strategy, capable people kept arriving in an endless stream.

Thinking this way, it seems Su Ye must have found another commander whose skill in warfare is divine.

"If our lord has a particular commander in mind,"

"Why not let him go to the new army early; with our lord's vision, this commander will surely be extraordinary."

"If we could have his aid, what great undertaking could we not accomplish?"

Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness as he took a sip of wine and laughed.

Moreover, Xun Yu, Xun You, and the others also realized.

Thinking back, from time to time a couple of extraordinary talents have appeared in Cangzhou.

Several people exchanged glances without prior agreement, their expressions inscrutable.

Su Ye saw that everyone was in agreement, and his mind was set at ease.

"If that's the case, then let's proceed according to this plan."

"Let the new army plan meticulously, ensuring that when we support the Da Qian dynasty, there will be no mistake."

He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and spoke in a low voice.
