Chapter 333 Appeasing the Nightshade Army
"I am deeply grateful for the kindness shown to you generals."
"However, serving the country is no small matter. I hope that we can treat each other with sincerity and work together for the well-being of all people."
However, he quickly realized what was happening and, looking at the many fawning faces below him, said with a serious expression.
"I am willing to serve my lord like a dog or a horse!"
Upon hearing this, all the generals stood up and spoke in unison.
His voice was strong and clear, conveying the tone of someone putting down their post with great momentum.
After he finished speaking, several newly recruited generals fawned over Su Ye to show their loyalty.
They might offer rare and exotic animals, or present exquisite treasures.
Even more extreme, some would personally cook delicacies for Su Ye, just to win a smile from their lord.
The general named Gong Lindu even went so far as to capture a rare white deer from the deep mountains and present it to Su Ye.
"My lord, this deer is an auspicious creature. May it bring you good fortune and blessings, ensuring your victory in this campaign!"
He pointed to the magnificent white deer below him and said respectfully.
"This armor is a family heirloom, crafted by a master craftsman, and is indestructible."
May our lord be invincible on the battlefield and win every battle.
The general named Ni Zhongyu also carefully selected a set of expensive armor and presented it to Su Ye, explaining his reasoning.
Other generals also displayed their talents, offering their own tokens of appreciation.
In an instant, Su Ye's tent was filled with mountains of treasures, and all kinds of delicacies and fine wines were available.
Su Ye was initially a little uncomfortable with the generals' enthusiasm and flattery.
After all, the people he frequently interacted with, such as Xun Yu and Gao Ying, usually appeared calm and composed.
Or it could be Guo Jia, that drunkard who has absolutely no sense of boundaries.
Meanwhile, those in Cangzhou who wanted to curry favor with Su Ye did so after Su Ye delegated power to Xun Yu and others.
They also couldn't get in touch with Su Ye.
Therefore, even though he had already become a regional governor.
Su Ye didn't feel anything; he had never received such treatment before.
Is this how you test cadres?
However, Su Ye also knew that the reason why these generals were so dedicated was because they saw that the Great Qian Dynasty was about to sink.
I want to find myself a new employer.
A good bird chooses its tree to perch on, and he wouldn't have any prejudice against these people.
After all, those who can become regional commanders usually have a large family behind them.
Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the people behind you.
In this world, truly selfless, dedicated, and compassionate individuals are still quite rare.
They were forced to abandon their families of decades for the sake of the so-called Grand Duke.
The vast majority of people still can't do it.
...
Meanwhile, at this time, the Night Fiend Army camp was located in front of Minglong Pass.
As night fell and the stars twinkled, Night King Ye Wuhen sat on the throne of the army, his black robes as dark as ink, which accentuated his deep eyes.
After learning that Su Ye had led 170,000 Cangzhou troops westward out of Dongning Pass.
He smiled dismissively, a smile tinged with mockery and contempt.
Zhao Fengyun, the top general under his command, was dressed in armor with a long sword at his waist, looking heroic and spirited, but at this moment his face showed worry.
"Night King, does the Cloud Prince's move mean he will go all out against our army?"
He stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
"There's no need to worry. This Prince Yun, though he has some military strategy and martial arts skills, is unexpectedly so cunning and adept at disguise."
"They keep saying they're doing this for the Great Qian Dynasty, but in reality, they're doing it for their own selfish interests."
"His military campaign this time is nothing more than an attempt to expand his power; how could he genuinely intend to be an enemy of our army?"
Ye Wuhen shook his head slightly, waved his hand, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
The three kings of different surnames had long formed an alliance to attack and defend against the Great Qian Dynasty.
Even if Su Ye's military expedition this time was under the pretext of eliminating traitors for the Great Qian Dynasty.
But Ye Wuhen didn't believe that this Prince Yun would really fight to the death with the Night Fiend Army for the sake of the Great Qian Dynasty.
"Your Highness is absolutely right. Although the Prince of Yun has sent troops, he will certainly not go all out against our army."
"He needs to reserve some strength to prevent other forces from taking advantage of the situation."
"Furthermore, our army is strong and well-equipped; why would they easily invade?"
Ye Yun, the chief strategist of the Night King's mansion, dressed in blue and holding a feather fan, softly echoed.
"What you say is true. This Prince Yun's expedition is nothing more than a test of our army's strength and a demonstration of his military might to other forces."
"We only need to observe the situation calmly and respond to all changes with constancy."
Ye Wuhen nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of appreciation.
"Your Highness and Mr. Yeyun are right. This humble general has learned a lot."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fengyun's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
"Su Ye wants to overthrow the Great Qian Dynasty, but he still pretends to be a loyal minister. It's utterly ridiculous."
"We only need to wait for the right opportunity, and when he reveals a weakness, we can defeat him in one fell swoop."
Ye Wuhen chuckled, shook his head, and continued.
"The Night King is wise. The Cloud Prince's actions have undoubtedly exposed his own weakness."
"We just need to remain vigilant and wait for the right opportunity."
Ye Yun, sitting to the left, also gently waved his feather fan and chuckled softly.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed.
Ye Wuhen raised his glass to invite everyone to drink and discuss important matters.
"Although we have some understanding of Su Ye's intentions, we still cannot let our guard down."
"Pass down the order to strengthen the defenses of Hengzhou's border and closely monitor the movements of the Cangzhou army."
"Report immediately if there is any disturbance."
After several rounds of drinks, Ye Wuhen put down his wine glass, his expression becoming serious.
Zhao Fengyun and Ye Yun agreed in unison, and then withdrew to arrange related matters.
Ye Wuhen sat alone in the main seat, gazing intently at the distant starry sky.
This chaotic struggle has only just begun, and the ultimate victor will surely leave behind an eternal legend under this starry sky.
At this moment, Ye Yun, who had stepped out of the tent, did not leave. Instead, he stood alone outside the tent, gazing at the starry sky, lost in thought.
Dressed in a flowing blue robe, she looked like an immortal descending to earth.
At this moment, his face was full of solemnity, as if he was thinking about something important.
"What are you thinking about, sir?"
Ye Wuhen noticed the doorway and, seeing Ye Yun's appearance, couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Your Highness, I am currently considering the movements of the Yun Prince's residence."
Ye Yun snapped out of his daze, turned around and bowed to Ye Wuhen.
"The Prince Yun's Mansion?"
"Aren't they fighting quite fiercely with the Great Yong Dynasty in Wenzhou, which is next to Yunzhou?"
What moves of his should we be watching?
Ye Wuhen paused for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Now, the heir of the Yun Prince and the Yun Prince's Mansion possess three princesses of the Great Qian Dynasty, and have a reputation for righteousness."
"They have a much easier time doing things than we Night Furies."
"Although the three kings of different surnames have secretly formed an alliance, we should still be wary of the movements of the Yun King's Mansion."
Ye Yun paced slowly and said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Why is that?"
Ye Wuhen asked, puzzled.
