Chapter 1253: Style Shift

"How do you plan to deal with this elite Foreign Tribe unit?" Zhuge Feiyu asked Ye Liuyun.

He was rather worried; for a moment he couldn't think of any way to handle such a powerful opponent.

Zhuge Feiyu smiled, "I'll give you an idea!"

"What is it? Speak quickly!" Ye Liuyun asked anxiously.

"Avoid!" Zhuge Feiyu said simply.

"Avoid?" Ye Liuyun was a bit stunned.

"What do you call that idea?"

"If you can win, fight; if you can't, run! Do you think you're a war god who must win every battle? Sometimes showing off too much isn't good. Losing a couple of times might actually keep you safer!"

Zhuge Feiyu reminded Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately realized.

This battle isn't just his alone; it's also the Great Summer Empire's. He doesn't need to shoulder all the problems.

On the contrary, his being too strong would cause the Great Summer Empire's worry.

As Zhuge Feiyu said, showing weakness occasionally would actually reassure the Imperial Family.

"Mm! What you say makes sense. I can also take the chance to be lazy, not sending my men to fight them. I've got it—next time I meet them, I'll run!" Ye Liuyun agreed.

"Haha! You better run fast, don't get surrounded! In future battles, you'd better not charge forward!"

Zhuge Feiyu prompted Ye Liuyun.

"Alright, got it!"

Ye Liuyun also thought that if he kept provoking the Foreign Tribe, they'd probably no longer tolerate him, and that elite Foreign Tribe unit should be sent to clean him up.

"Exactly! The sky isn't falling, why the rush! You've already shown yourself, what does the Imperial Family need?" Zhuge Feiyu laughed.

"Makes sense! Then I'll stay a few more days before returning, and get some rest!"

With Zhuge Feiyu's reminder, Ye Liuyun's tense nerves also relaxed.

Spending these extra days, he could keep his parents and Liang Xue company, and everyone was delighted.

Finally, Feng Wanru, having no sparring partner, came to urge Ye Liuyun.

"That's not like your nature! You've been idle for so many days and aren't in a hurry to go back? Have you become comfortable in a gentle place and don't want to strive anymore?" Feng Wanru asked.

"How could I!"

Ye Liuyun didn't want to explain his affairs with the empire to her any further.

"Do you have business with me?" he asked directly.

"Huh? Can't I come to you when there's nothing?" Feng Wanru retorted.

"How could that be? It's just that you suddenly came to me, and I felt odd!" Ye Liuyun hurriedly explained.

"I want to practice swordplay, but I can't do it here!" Feng Wanru finally stated her purpose.

"Alright then! We'll prepare and leave!" Ye Liuyun, hearing that, immediately agreed with Feng Wanru to set off quickly.

In these days, the Warships and other supplies had already been prepared. He even had a thousand shields, which he could also bring back.

Since Feng Wanru wants to practice swordplay, there's no need to stay any longer.

And he should leave as well. The Warships are insufficient, and Qin Peng over there is uneasy, fearing a Foreign Tribe attack.

After Ye Liuyun brought Feng Wanru and the Warships back to the front, he handed the Warships and shields to Qin Peng for distribution.

Qing Peng, after dispatching the equipment, grew restless again.

"Prince, when do we launch the attack?"

"There is something I need to tell you!"

Ye Liuyun let Qin Peng sit down and talk slowly.

Qin Peng, unlike Zhuge Feiyu, does not fully grasp the relationship with the empire, so Ye Liuyun needed to explain patiently.

After the explanation, Qin Peng roughly understood Ye Liuyun's meaning.

"This is just to prepare for our future, to avoid the empire's jealousy!" Ye Liuyun finally told Qin Peng.

"Ah! I understand! If we don't seek glory, we won't arouse the Imperial Family's suspicion!"

Qin Peng said.

"Mm, that's about right! So from now on we won't initiate attacks, only defend. When advancing, don't rush to the front."

Ye Liuyun told Qin Peng, then added, "In short, from now on, preserve your strength as much as possible! If you encounter that elite Foreign Tribe unit, turn and retreat immediately; ignore everything else!"

"Understood!" Qin Peng replied.

That's Qin Peng's strength. Whether he fully understands or is willing, he can execute orders absolutely.

So in the subsequent battles, Ye Liuyun stayed still, and the war between the Foreign Tribe and the Great Summer Empire entered a stalemate.

Ye Liuyun occasionally deployed troops, only to give Feng Wanru practice; the forces sent were just enough to protect Feng Wanru or deter other Foreign Tribe armies.

As long as Feng Wanru could handle it herself, he would never let soldiers engage.

He waited until Feng Wanru had killed enough, then sent troops to bring her back, and withdrew the forces as soon as she was retrieved.

Gradually, the Foreign Tribe discerned the pattern. They also enjoyed that Ye Liuyun didn't take part in the fighting.

So they often sent squads of several thousand Corpse Demons for Feng Wanru to spar with. That way, Ye Liuyun didn't need to dispatch troops; Feng Wanru would leave the city to practice swordplay and then return to rest.

In this way, Ye Liuyun and the Foreign Tribe reached an unspoken understanding.

So across the battlefield a strange sight was told: Ye Liuyun always held his troops back, letting only a woman charge alone into the Foreign Tribe's army.

Some speculated that Ye Liuyun had a larger scheme, waiting for an opportunity.

Others said Ye Liuyun had a quirk, enjoying watching women fight.

Some even claimed Ye Liuyun had made a pact with the Foreign Tribe, deliberately not sending troops.

Rumors spread rapidly, yet Ye Liuyun remained completely indifferent.

Occasionally they would send troops to cooperate with other armies, but only as support, and they rarely fought as desperately as before.

In fact, it wasn't just Ye Liuyun like this. The armies of the Great Xia Dynasty were mostly just putting on a symbolic show; as long as the Foreign Tribe didn't fight desperately, they wouldn't either.

It's just that Ye Liuyun had fought too fiercely before, and a sudden change in style left everyone unaccustomed.

Upon hearing the news of Ye Liuyun's change in style, Emperor Xia merely gave a faint smile and said nothing more.

"It seems there's still an expert behind Ye Liuyun!" he merely muttered to himself.

In fact, he had long known about the Foreign Tribe's elite troops. What he had been preparing these years was precisely to deal with that Foreign Tribe elite force. Ordinary Corpse Demons wouldn't require him to prepare for so long.

It's just that the Imperial Family never informed anyone beforehand. If they had, probably no one would dare to go onto the battlefield.

At the outset of the war, several large armies of the Great Xia Dynasty, even units carrying elite troops, were mysteriously wiped out—in fact, this was the work of that Foreign Tribe elite force.
