Chapter 58: Deciding on Personnel, Great Yong Faces Change

Now the Great Qian's first war god of the Forbidden Army, the sixth-ranked Flying Immortal Spear God Gong Xiao Chuan on the world's wind and cloud list, is at the Lu Prefecture frontline battlefield where Great Qian faces the Taiping Sect's Yellow Turban.

During this time, after he rushed to the Lu Prefecture battlefield, he inflicted massive casualties on the Yellow Turban army, even once charging straight to Zhang Jue's front.

He almost beheaded Zhang Jue on the spot, but if Meng Zhang hadn't reacted in time and mobilized the Personal Guard Army to surround and kill him...

Zhang Jue might have died before achieving victory.

Su Ye looked at the nearby pile of intelligence, picking out the information concerning Flying Immortal Spear God Gong Xiao Chuan.

Earlier, he had gone alone to the enemy camp to rescue a friend; in the earlier Battle of Lu Prefecture, part of the Great Qian forces were encircled by a scheme of Meng Zhang.

He showed no fear, charging alone into the Yellow Turban's linked camps, successfully rescuing his comrade and, while marching through the camp, consecutively defeating all of the Yellow Turban's high-ranking combatants.

Furthermore, on the Lu Prefecture frontline battlefield, the two junior war gods of Great Qian tasked with soy‑sauce duty and assisting Gong Xiao Chuan made Zhang Jue's situation utterly miserable.

Even Meng Zhang felt a bit uneasy when he didn't act himself.

Without a war god of equal rank to hold him back, even if Gong Xiao Chuan was repeatedly surrounded by Meng Zhang using the Yellow Turbans' numerical superiority...

He could also rely on his own overwhelming combat power, advancing all the way by unleashing his Dharma Aspect.

Although this world is not a fantasy one, trying to trap a top‑tier war god who has cultivated a Dharma Aspect with just a group of ordinary soldiers...

... is still a bit of a pipe dream.

However, some war god commanders‑in‑chief, through special troops trained from their own cultivation methods or military tactics, possess the ability to encircle and slay war gods.

Or some top‑tier commanders‑in‑chief can also use military strategist formations to encircle and slay war gods.

As for those, the special troops certainly aren't something that can be formed overnight.

Relying on the Yellow Turbans' foundation? Don't even think about it.

And those top‑tier military strategist formations capable of encircling a war god—Meng Zhang knows them too.

But Meng Zhang is here to be a turncoat, so of course he won't teach them to the Yellow Turban army.

Perhaps when the Yellow Turbans collapse, Meng Zhang will step in and use them once or twice.

But at present, the Yellow Turban army, relying on its numerical superiority, does not yet force a single Flying Immortal Spear God Gong Xiao Chuan to reveal Meng Zhang's trump card.

During this period, although relying on those Yellow Turban peasant troops, Meng Zhang, while not revealing his own strength, can temporarily do nothing against Flying Immortal Spear God Gong Xiao Chuan.

But Gong Xiao Chuan also hasn't fared well under Meng Zhang's command.

Since Gong Xiao Chuan first struck Meng Zhang with a surprise blow, thereafter every time he appears he is singled out for attack by Meng Zhang.

Either a volley of ten thousand arrows or a row of bed crossbows awaits him,

or a pile of soldiers surrounds him for a beating.

Although each time he breaks through with his own martial prowess, it also prevents him from joining the battlefield.

In their duel, the initiative and advantage have consistently belonged to Meng Zhang, this Commander‑in‑Chief 104, a top‑tier holy commander.

"Then let Niu Mo and Shi Tuo go assist Meng Zhang!"

Su Ye lowered his head, pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"It's perfect to send Niu Mo to the Lu Prefecture frontline battlefield to meet that Great Qian Forbidden Army first war god, Gong Xiao Chuan."

"As for the Huang Chao side of the Rui Prefecture battlefield, that junior war god Shan Shi Tuo can hold out this long, so the Great Qian war god on the Rui Prefecture side can't be much stronger."

"Let the newly‑initiated war god Shi Tuo go assist—just right."

Now, within Su Ye's Cangzhou Army, as Su Ye continually summons, there has already been an overflow in the war god aspect.

At this time, the Seven Sages of Flower Fruit Mountain are idling in Cangling City; it would be better to send the two of them to the Yellow Turban army to shine and heat up.

Relying on their two martial powers, they can soon enter the core of the Yellow Turban army.

Let Su Ye once again bury several important pieces inside the Taiping Sect's Yellow Turban army.

In preparation for eventually controlling the Yellow Turban army, at least it can ensure that the Yellow Turban army poses no threat to Cangzhou or Yun Prefecture.

"The war god prince supporting the Yellow Turbans just needs to have it in mind."

"Right now, for our Cangzhou Army, the most important thing is the internal situation of the Eastern Land Dynasty Great Yong."

Seeing that Su Ye had already decided on the personnel for this mission to assist the Yellow Turbans, Yao Guangxiao said nothing, instead bringing up the Eastern Land Dynasty Great Yong.

"Currently within Great Yong's realm, the ruler is young and the state doubtful, myriad princes rise up together, bandits run rampant, and the people's resentments fill the roads."

Yao Guangxiao pulled out the information on Great Yong from the intelligence pile and slowly spread it before Su Ye.

Now upon the Eastern Lands, the glory of the Great Yong Dynasty has already faded dimly.

Within its borders, the princes rise up, each carving out their own fiefdoms; for power and territory they attack each other, and the flames of war stretch continuously.

Each prince harbors his own ambitions and desires, sparing no cost, even sacrificing his own subjects to contend for that supreme throne.

At present within Great Yong's territory, war has become the norm.

Beacon fires connect the sky, smoke fills the air, countless lives vanish in the war.

The horrific state of the battlefield is hard to behold, soldiers' flesh and blood fly apart, and cries of misery rise and fall.

Those innocent common folk, meanwhile, become sacrificial victims in this melee, their corpses litter the fields and pile up like mountains.

And in this chaotic era of Great Yong, bandits also take advantage to run rampant.

They commit every evil, burning, killing, looting, and attack every possible target without distinction.

Villages are looted bare, cities burned to ash, common folk live in fear, displaced and homeless.

In this war among the princes, there is no true victor.

Each prince has paid a huge price, their lands ravaged by war, their peoples suffering in the conflict.

As for those bandits, they only briefly gained profit, their actions arousing the people's resistance and hatred.

They do not know what tomorrow will bring, nor whether they will see tomorrow's sun.

"Most importantly, among the rebellious princes within Great Yong's realm, some are strong and some weak."

"And among the weak princes, some are already barely holding on, beginning to seek aid from external forces."

Having said that, Yao Guangxiao gave Su Ye a look full of deep meaning.

It's good that it's chaotic.

Now that it's chaotic, we have a chance!

If the world is currently at peace, a golden age will arrive.

Then what's the point of having people like them?

Moreover, the external help they can seek now is nothing more than the Southern Great Xuan Dynasty, as well as Cloud Prefecture and Cangzhou.

By then, we will have a pretext and enter Great Yong's territory.

How they want to help will no longer be up to them!

Yao Guangxiao's lips curved into a subtle arc.

Since ancient times, there has never been a moment when the nation's rise and fall, the people's peril.

There are always those sentimental lamenters who sigh like the wind blowing cold over the Yi River.

In this era of Great Yong, where warlords rise, attack each other, bandits run rampant, and corpses litter the fields, every person is the protagonist of the story.

Their fates intertwine, together weaving the joys and sorrows, separations and reunions of an era.

But there are also certainly many ancient traitors who would rather give to allied states than to their own domestic slaves.

Su Ye's gaze was somewhat dim, reminding him of some unpleasant memories from his previous life.

But at this moment, the warlord who is an ancient traitor to Great Yong is instead going to give to Su Ye's own allied state.

It's fine now!

Su Ye isn't so pretentious as to go that far.

What Su Ye and the Cangzhou Army are about to do, to Great Yong, makes Su Ye also a member of the traitors.

Big brother, don't laugh at second brother.

At most, this second brother is just more hateful.
