Su Ye, who was far away in Cangzhou, received this shocking news just two days later.
Thanks to his organization, the Net, a secret network specializing in intelligence gathering and transmission.
The members of Luo Wang are spread all over the world. They have built an efficient and secretive intelligence transmission system by using unique carrier pigeons, secret letters and codes.
It was the efficient operation of this system that ensured the timeliness and accuracy of the intelligence, enabling Su Ye to react immediately.
"Alas, he still died."
Su Ye put down the intelligence in his hand, his expression somewhat inscrutable.
Needless to say, those behind-the-scenes manipulators who pushed for Yan Wang's death this time were involved.
Su Ye himself also got involved.
He personally saw off the Yan King, who was like a brother to his father.
This Flame King is just too uncontrollable.
Does the Flame King have the ability?
Have!
He's very capable, it's just a pity.
What Su Ye needs now is a mediocre Flame King.
All we need to do is keep the Great Qian's army of over 100,000 troops tied up in Yanzhou.
and...
"It should be starting soon in northern Xinjiang too."
Su Ye turned his gaze toward the northern frontier.
Now, the Night King in the northern frontier suddenly has two ambitious men under his command: Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi.
Moreover, the northern grasslands are now in complete chaos due to Su Ye's repeated attempts to balance things out.
They fought so fiercely that the dog's brain was almost knocked out.
Therefore, under the influence of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi.
With the external threat of no longer being posed by the nomadic tribes of the grasslands, the Night King is now naturally eager to make his move.
"In that case, Cangzhou can't fall behind."
"The war in Qizhou has dragged on long enough."
"It's time to end this."
Su Ye put down the intelligence about the four directions of the Tianwu Continent that the Luowang had sent him, his expression inscrutable.
The 200,000-strong army that Li Jing now commands in Qizhou constitutes the majority of the military force in Cangzhou.
The other forces included Pei Yuanqing's army at Longmen Pass and Yuwen Chengdu's garrison at Dongling Pass.
Or perhaps the White Horse Cavalry, the White Armor Army, and Wei Qing's new army.
They can only be considered as auxiliary forces.
Originally, given Li Jing's command abilities, the presence of Baihu, a top-tier war god, as well as Sun Wukong, Wu Wenhua, and others, the team was formidable.
Logically speaking, this should be enough to deal with Qizhou, a place where even ordinary war gods cannot be assembled.
It should be a situation that is utterly devastating.
Unfortunately, this happened shortly after Li Jing conquered the mountains of Qizhou.
Tiger King, one of the powerful vassal kings of Dayong, not far from Qizhou, was at the request of King Qi.
They also began to formally dispatch a large army to Qizhou to participate in the war.
After receiving support from the Tiger King, King Qi began to implement a scorched-earth policy, determined to become a coward.
They relied on numerous fortified cities within Qizhou to put up a stubborn resistance.
In this situation, did Su Ye urge him in any particular way?
To avoid unnecessary losses, Li Jing naturally took it slow and gradually wore things down.
The same goes for Baihu, Sun Wukong, and others; their combat prowess was no longer a secret in front of Qizhou.
Almost every time they appear in a siege, a large number of archers and ballistae will shoot at them.
In this siege warfare, the White Tiger's cavalry attack tactics, which the White Tiger War Cavalry excelled at, had no opportunity to be utilized.
Therefore, during this period of time, we have been facing the King of Qi's unscrupulous tactics.
With the combined strength of Baihu and Sun Wukong, they were no match for the endless siege warfare.
There really wasn't much room for maneuver.
Therefore, Li Jing did not take any further action.
The battle in Qizhou has reached a stalemate, which is clearly not good news for the overall war situation.
After pondering for a moment, Su Ye finally made up his mind.
"Send an order to Li Jing in Qizhou, instructing him to accelerate the offensive and capture Qizhou as soon as possible!"
He looked up at the Luo Wang intelligence officer standing to the side and said in a deep voice.
The intelligence officer took his orders and left, and Su Ye's gaze returned to the intelligence.
Once this order is issued, it means that the battle will become more intense, and the casualties under Li Jing's command may increase.
But there was no other way. The situation in Daqian was changing rapidly, and the main force from Cangzhou could no longer be allowed to linger in Qizhou.
On the battlefield of Qizhou, night also enveloped the land.
Li Jing sat in his tent, his brows furrowed, lost in thought.
The battle report in his hand was heavy, as if it carried the hopes and anxieties of countless soldiers.
He was well aware that the war in Qizhou had dragged on for far too long.
However, the reasons for this situation are complex and multifaceted.
After receiving support from the Tiger King, King Qi's confidence soared, and he adopted the tortoise-shell tactic.
Relying on the numerous fortified cities within Qizhou, they put up a stubborn resistance.
Although this tactic seemed passive, it made things very difficult for Li Jing and his men.
If they really dare to come out and fight Li Jing and his men in the open field.
Even if the enemy had an army of 300,000, Li Jing was confident.
Working together with Xue Rengui, Baihu, and others, they defeated them in one battle!
Unfortunately, Prince Qi had suffered repeated setbacks against Li Jing and had completely lost his spirit.
Faced with this situation, Li Jing originally planned to proceed steadily and gradually approach the core area of Qizhou.
However, Qizhou's city defenses were strong, and the defenders were determined to resist, which slowed down the Cangzhou army's offensive.
To avoid unnecessary losses, Li Jing had to slow down the pace of the attack, which led to a stalemate in the battle.
At this moment, a messenger hurriedly entered the tent and handed Su Ye's order to Li Jing.
"Our lord has begun urging us to speed up the offensive; it seems we need to change our tactics."
After reading the order, Li Jing took a deep breath and spoke to Baihu, Sun Wukong, and the others beside him.
The generals all nodded in agreement.
"We've already wasted too much time here."
"It's time to crack open the shell of Qizhou!"
Baihu was the first to stand up, his eyes flashing with cold light.
"We should have done this a long time ago! We can't keep our lord and the others waiting too long!"
Sun Wukong, eager to try, stood up, brandishing his golden cudgel, and shouted loudly.
"Alright! Then let's launch a full-scale attack! Notify the entire army to prepare for a full-scale assault on all major cities at dawn tomorrow!"
Li Jing smiled slightly and nodded.
An army of 200,000, when spread out, is a sea of people.
Given Li Jing's leadership, he naturally wouldn't put them all under one city as a cheering squad.
Therefore, apart from Li Jing's main force.
Several surrounding cities were also included in Li Jing's attack range.
The attack on the city was led separately by Xue Rengui and Qin Qiong.
As Li Jing gave his order, all the generals responded in unison and left their tents to prepare for tomorrow's battle.
Li Jing looked at the map in his hand and took a deep breath.
As night faded, dawn broke on the horizon.
Outside Qizhou City, the Cangzhou army has made full preparations.
Li Jing, clad in armor and wielding a long sword, stood at the front of the battle formation.
His gaze was firm and sharp, as if it could penetrate the city walls and see everything inside the city not far away.
At Li Jing's command, the war drums sounded deafeningly.
The Cangzhou army surged towards the enemy city of Qizhou like a torrent, their shouts deafening, as if they were about to shake the city walls to their core.
