Chapter 335: Pacifying the Ye Sha Jun Council

The deep affection of all the generals, I, Su Ye, am endlessly grateful.

However, pledging allegiance is no small matter; I, Su Ye, hope we can treat each other with sincerity and together seek blessings for the common people of the world.

But he quickly reacted, looking at the many fawning faces below, he put on a solemn expression and said.

I am willing to serve my lord with the effort of a dog and horse!

Upon hearing this, the generals all rose and spoke in unison.

The voice was resonant and powerful, making the pledge sound mighty and vigorous.

After speaking, several newly pledged generals eagerly flattered Su Ye to show their loyalty.

Some presented rare exotic beasts, others offered exquisite treasures.

Even more, some personally cooked delicacies for Su Ye, just to win a smile from their lord.

The general named Gong Lin Du even specially captured a rare white deer from the deep mountains and presented it to Su Ye.

In this world, selfless, dutiful, generous and heroic individuals are still relatively rare.

He pointed at the handsome white deer below and said respectfully.

After all, to be able to serve as a regional commander, one must have a whole family behind them.

The general named Ni Zhongyu also carefully selected a set of valuable armor and presented it to Su Ye, explaining.

For a time, treasures piled up like mountains in Su Ye's grand tent, and delicacies and fine wine were abundant.

Faced with the generals' enthusiasm and flattery, Su Ye initially felt a bit unaccustomed.

May the lord be invincible on the battlefield, victorious in every battle.

My lord, this deer is an auspicious object; may it bring you good fortune and auspiciousness, allowing you to be victorious in this campaign!

Want to find a new patron for oneself.

Make them, for the so-called public good, abandon the families they've lived with for decades.

Even if not for oneself, one must consider those behind oneself.

Su Ye also didn't really feel anything; where has he ever enjoyed such treatment?

Is this how they test officials?

However, Su Ye also knows that these generals are so devoted not only because they see the Da Qian dynasty as a broken ship about to sink.

After all, the people he often contacts, like Xun Yu and Gao Ying, usually appear calm and unruffled.

This set of armor is a family heirloom of the lowly officer, crafted by a master artisan, indestructible.

Most people still cannot do that.

Otherwise it's Guo Jia, who has no sense of boundaries, a drunkard.

A good bird chooses its tree to roost; he also won't have any bias toward these people.

They also cannot come into contact with Su Ye.

Therefore, even though he already holds the position of regional inspector.

And those in Cangzhou who wanted to flatter Su Ye, after Su Ye delegated authority to Xun Yu and others.

Other generals also each displayed their abilities, eagerly offering their intentions.

And at this moment, before Minglong Pass, the Ye Sha Jun Da Ying camp.

Night fell, stars speckled; Night King Ye Wuchen sat solemnly atop the main commander's seat, clad in black robes like ink, accentuating his deep eyes.

After learning the news that Su Ye led 170,000 troops from Cangzhou westward out of Dongning Pass.

He smirked contemptuously, that smile tinged with mockery and contempt.

Under his command, the chief general Zhao Fengyun, clad in armor, with a long sword at his waist, heroic and vigorous, now showed a worried expression.

Night King, does the Yun Wang prince's action mean he will fully commit to opposing our army?

He stepped forward and said in a low voice.

No need to worry; this Yun Wang prince, although he has some tactics and martial skills, I didn't expect his scheming to be so deep, adept at disguise.

While shouting for the Da Qian dynasty, in reality it's also for his own private gain.

His dispatch of troops this time is merely to seize the opportunity to expand his power; how could he truly be an enemy to our army?

Ye Wuchen lightly shook his head, waved his hand, and curled the corner of his mouth into a cold smile.

Among the three great kings of different surnames, regarding the Da Qian dynasty, they have long formed an offensive-defensive alliance.

Even if this time Su Ye's expedition is under the pretext of eliminating rebels for the Da Qian dynasty.

But Ye Wuchen would not believe that this Yun Wang prince would truly fight to the death for the Da Qian dynasty against the Ye Sha Jun army.

Your lordship's words are absolutely correct; although this Yun Wang prince has dispatched troops, he will certainly not fully commit to opposing our army.

He still needs to retain reserve strength to prevent other forces from taking advantage.

Furthermore, our army is strong in troops and horses; how could he dare to attack lightly?

The chief strategist of the Night King's mansion, Ye Yun, dressed in green robes, holding a feather fan, softly echoed.

What the sir said is not false. This Yun Wang prince's dispatch of troops this time is merely to probe our strengths and weaknesses, while also displaying his military might to other forces.

We only need to observe calmly, responding to all changes with constancy.

Ye Wuchen nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of appreciation.

What the lord and Mr. Ye Yun said is reasonable; I, the lowly officer, have been enlightened.

After Zhao Fengyun heard this, his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Su Ye wants to overthrow the Da Qian dynasty, yet still pretends to be a loyal minister; truly laughable to the extreme.

We only need to wait for the opportunity; once he reveals a flaw, we can crush him in one fell swoop.

Ye Wuchen snorted, shook his head, and continued speaking.

Night King is wise. The Yun Wang prince's action undoubtedly reveals his own flaw.

"We just need to stay vigilant and wait for the opportunity."

Night Yun seated below also lightly swayed the feather fan and smiled softly.

The three exchanged smiles, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed considerably.

Ye Wuchen raised a cup to invite a drink, and together with everyone discussed the grand plan.

"Although we already have some understanding of Su Ye's intentions, we must still not be careless."

"Pass the order down: strengthen the defenses of Hengzhou's border, and closely monitor the movements of the Cangzhou army."

"If there is any sign of movement, report immediately."

After three rounds of drinks, Ye Wuchen set down the cup, and their expression turned solemn.

Zhao Fengyun and Night Yun responded in unison, then withdrew to arrange the related matters.

Ye Wuchen sat alone in the seat of honor, gazing deeply at the distant starry sky.

This struggle in the chaotic age has only just begun, and the ultimate victor will surely leave an eternal legend beneath this starry sky.

At this moment, Night Yun, who had walked out of the tent, did not leave but instead stood alone outside the camp, gazing at the starry sky, lost in thought.

Clad in a green robe, with sleeves fluttering, they seemed like an immortal descending to the world.

At this moment, their face was full of solemnity, as if pondering something important.

"What are you thinking about, sir?"

Ye Wuchen noticed the entrance, seeing Night Yun in that state, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"My lord, this subordinate is currently contemplating the movements of the Cloud Prince's Mansion."

Night Yun came to their senses, turned, and bowed to Ye Wuchen.

"Cloud Prince's Mansion?"

"Aren't they fighting fiercely with the Great Yong dynasty over in Wen Prefecture next to Yun Prefecture?"

"What movements of his are worth our attention?"

Ye Wuchen blinked, their brows slightly furrowed.

"Now the Cloud Prince's heir and even the Cloud Prince's Mansion possess the three imperial daughters of the Da Qian dynasty, bearing the name of righteousness."

"Their actions will be far more convenient than our Night Sha Army."

"Although the three great kings of different surnames have secretly formed an offensive-defensive alliance, the movements of the Cloud Prince's Mansion still warrant our vigilance."

Night Yun paced slowly, speaking in a low voice.

"Oh? Why is that?"

Ye Wuchen asked, puzzled.
