Chapter 243 Deciding on the Next Step
As for Wang Mang, who was implanted into the Da Ling Dynasty and continued his love-hate relationship with his old enemy, the Liu family.
Then for the time being, it has nothing to do with Su Ye.
To put it somewhat arrogantly, so what if Wang Mang really was a time traveler?
On this brand new stage, past glories and defeats have been wiped clean, and everyone must start anew.
That unlucky guy who got hit by a meteorite.
How can anyone compare to me, a transmigrator who was born with a system that dared to fight against the world's consciousness as soon as he arrived?
Of course, Su Ye is not the kind of person who is blindly arrogant.
He knew perfectly well that every time traveler had their own opportunities and secrets.
The fact that Wang Mang left a significant mark on history is enough to prove that he was no ordinary person.
But in this brand new world, everything is full of variables and possibilities.
Wang Mang wanted to rise again in this chaotic era.
The price he would have to pay was beyond his imagination.
In that situation, Wang Mang would still be more developed than Su Ye.
Su Ye should pack up and submit the ball quickly.
But how likely is that?
Su Ye herself dared not imagine it.
Therefore, Su Ye didn't pay too much attention to Wang Mang.
Instead of worrying about this, he should focus his time and energy on his own growth and improvement.
"Jingni, send someone to inform the strategist and the others that we have important matters to discuss."
Su Ye snapped out of his thoughts and gave instructions to Jing Ni, who had been silently keeping him company in his daze.
As night deepened, the moonlight, like water, bathed the walls of Cangzhou City.
At this moment, Su Ye, dressed in a black robe, stood with his hands behind his back in the council hall of the governor's mansion. His eyes were as deep as stars as he gazed at the distant, faintly visible beacon fires, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.
The news of the Great Qian Dynasty's defeat on the battlefields of Luzhou and Yanzhou spread like wildfire.
Although Cangzhou was located in a remote corner of the country, it could not escape the fate of being in turmoil.
Inside the mansion, the lights were on, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.
Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You, and the others had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Su Ye arrive, they all stood up and bowed.
"Gentlemen, the Great Qian has suffered defeats on the battlefields of Luzhou and Yanzhou, and the situation is worrying."
"Although we are in Cangzhou, we still need to make plans as soon as possible."
Su Ye waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down, and then got straight to the point.
"What you say is absolutely right, my lord."
"If the Great Qian Dynasty falls, the world will surely descend into chaos, and Cangzhou will hardly be able to remain unscathed."
Therefore, we should make plans as soon as possible.
Xun Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Heroes emerge in times of chaos."
"Although the Great Qian Dynasty has failed, it may still have a chance to turn things around."
"We only need to observe the situation and wait for the right opportunity to act."
Guo Jia smiled slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
"What Fengxiao said is very true."
At this juncture, we should refrain from rash actions and prioritize stability.
"At the very least, we need to give Cangzhou some time to develop and accumulate strength."
Xun You, standing to the side, nodded in agreement.
"What you all say makes sense."
"But what if the Great Qian Kingdom seeks our help?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ye's heart stirred, and he pondered for a moment before replying.
"If the Great Qian requests our help, we certainly cannot stand idly by."
"However, assisting the Great Qian Dynasty also requires a strategic approach."
"We can help in secret, but it is not advisable to do so openly and ostentatiously, lest we get burned."
Xun Yu stroked his beard and said slowly.
"Does Wenruo mean we can secretly support the Great Qian Dynasty?"
"This is indeed a feasible method. However, with just a tap of the finger, one can instantly travel to the exciting world of Chapter 247, where the decision is made. How to execute this requires careful planning."
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Su Ye's eyes.
"My lord, there is no need to worry. With you by our side, what is there to fear about the unstable situation?"
Guo Jia smiled slightly, a hint of cunning in his smile.
"Alright, Guo Fengxiao, we're close friends, no need for these formalities."
"I know you have a solution, but the current predicament is probably too difficult for us to resolve on our own."
Su Ye waved his hand, signaling Guo Jia not to be too optimistic.
"My lord, do you already have a good plan?"
Upon hearing this, Xun Yu below frowned slightly.
Helping... is definitely something we should do.
Before we become the dominant powers in our respective regions.
It's better to keep a low profile and let Da Qian take the beating.
Cangzhou and his team can just stay behind and develop their strength stealthily.
Even for stabilizing the situation in Daqian.
Su Ye has already made some progress.
Thinking about this...
"I would like to ask you all, if a commander no less capable than Commander-in-Chief Wen Zhong of my Nine Heavens Army were to lead the newly trained army of Cangzhou, would he be able to stabilize the current situation of the Great Qian Dynasty?"
Su Ye spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful, as if every word contained an inexplicable majesty.
"My lord, the name of Wen Zhong is known throughout the land, even within the Nine Heavens Army."
"His ability to command troops is beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, warfare is based on deception. A skilled strategist not only relies on force to achieve victory, but also needs the assistance of wisdom and strategy."
"If a commander who is no less capable than Wen Zhong were to appear, and with the help of our strategic planning, we would be even more powerful, and stabilizing the situation in the Great Qian Dynasty would be a piece of cake."
Guo Jia lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly, stepped forward, and cupped his hands in greeting.
"What Fengxiao said is absolutely right."
"However, speed is of the essence in war, and it is best to have this commander appear as soon as possible."
Xun Yu nodded in agreement.
"What Wenruo said is very true."
"Furthermore, we must carefully examine the candidates for this commander. After all, the ability to command troops cannot be acquired overnight; it requires experienced, intelligent, and courageous individuals to be competent."
Xun You, standing to the side, echoed:
Su Ye nodded slightly in agreement.
"What you all say makes sense. However, time is of the essence, and we must finalize the selection of this commander as soon as possible."
He swept his piercing gaze across the crowd and said in a deep voice.
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
However...thinking of our lord ever since he took control of Cangzhou.
Heroes from all sides flocked to join them.
Rarely seen war gods and famous generals are emerging one after another.
Even in terms of strategy, there are people like themselves constantly arriving.
Thinking about it this way, Su Ye must have found another brilliant strategist.
"If my lord has feelings for this commander."
"Why not send him to the new army as soon as possible? With the lord's discerning eye, I'm sure this commander will be extraordinary."
"If we can get his help, what great thing can't we accomplish?"
A glint of light flashed in Guo Jia's eyes. He took a sip of wine and laughed.
Meanwhile, Xun Yu, Xun You, and the others also realized what was happening.
Thinking back on this period of time, Cangzhou has seen the emergence of one or two exceptionally talented individuals from time to time.
The group exchanged glances, their expressions unreadable.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Su Ye felt reassured.
"If that's the case, then proceed according to this plan."
"Have the new army plan meticulously to ensure that there are no mistakes when supporting the Great Qian Dynasty."
He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said in a deep voice.
