Chapter 375 Covert Clash
"This plan is feasible, but we need to ensure that Suzaku can get close to that God of War and has the opportunity to make a move."
After listening, Xun You stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before nodding.
The seventh-ranked figure on the World's Heroes Ranking is the Radiant Vermilion Bird.
They are well aware of the results that earned them a place on the list.
"Exactly! All we need to do is plan carefully and create the best opportunity for Suzaku to make his move."
Guo Jia slapped his forehead excitedly.
Having strong teammates makes all the difference; with Suzaku, the king of sniping in the era of cold weapons, we have them.
Many things then become remarkably simple.
"I know this is no easy task, which is why I would like to ask you two if you have a better plan?"
Su Ye nodded, indicating that she understood.
"No better strategy is needed. We just need to use Meng Zhang's position to set a trap and lure that war god into the game."
"Then, at the crucial moment, let Suzaku make his move and kill him in one fell swoop."
Guo Jia and Xun You exchanged a smile, and Guo Jia spoke.
With Suzaku present, there's no need for any particularly clever strategies.
To be direct and blunt, lure the snake out of its hole.
Then... a fatal blow!
"Oh? How do you set a trap?"
Su Ye asked with great interest.
"We can have Meng Zhang deliberately leak some false information to lure that war god into pursuit."
"Then, we will set up an ambush at the designated location in advance, and once the God of War enters the ambush area, Suzaku will have the opportunity to strike."
Xun You smiled slightly and replied.
"It's feasible! However, we need to ensure the accuracy of the intelligence and the secrecy of the ambush."
Su Ye's expression remained unreadable after hearing this.
With such a stellar lineup, how could they possibly fail to take down an old relic from the past?
Then he could take Xuanwu, Zhuque, and the Cangzhou army home to wash up and go to sleep.
What's the point of fighting for supremacy!
"Your lord can rest assured."
"With Meng Zhang inside the Yellow Turban Army, the intelligence will naturally be accurate. As for the concealment of the ambush, we can choose a strategic location and take advantage of the terrain to carry out the ambush."
Guo Jia took a swig of wine and smiled confidently.
"Very well then. I'll leave this matter to you two."
Su Ye nodded.
As for the specific details, those were naturally left to my subordinates to handle.
Otherwise, what's the point of Su Ye recruiting so many people?
As Guo Jia and Xun You left to carry out their orders, Su Ye stood on the city wall, gazing at the distant starry sky, his heart filled with anticipation.
If this operation succeeds, it will not only weaken the Yellow Turban Army, but also clear a major obstacle on the road to unifying the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty in the future!
...
Meanwhile, inside the Yellow Turban camp, night had fallen, and bonfires blazed, illuminating the entire camp.
Meng Zhang sat alone in the main tent, his expression solemn, as if he were plotting some important plan.
Outside the camp, Yellow Turban soldiers patrolled and guarded the area, while mysterious figures could be seen throughout the camp, representing the masterminds behind the scenes and secretly observing Meng Zhang's movements.
Soon, several messengers dressed in different styles arrived at Meng Zhang's camp. They were representatives sent by various behind-the-scenes manipulators.
Some were dressed in fine clothes, while others wore cloaks to conceal their figures; each person's eyes were deep and unfathomable.
"Commander Meng, you have won one battle after another recently, and the prestige of the Yellow Turban Army is growing stronger every day. This is truly a cause for celebration."
A representative wearing a green robe spoke first.
His words seemed to carry a hint of flattery, but also a sense of probing.
"This is nothing more than the soldiers fighting bravely and Heaven helping them."
"I wonder what important matters you gentlemen have come to discuss tonight?"
Meng Zhang smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"General Meng, we have heard that Su Ye, the governor of Cangzhou, has personally led a large army to attack us. He is coming with great force and has many fierce generals under his command. He should not be underestimated."
The black-robed representative spoke in a deep voice, his tone heavy with solemnity.
"Su Ye? I've heard of him before; he's indeed a remarkable person."
"However, my Yellow Turban Army is no ordinary force either. Our soldiers are brave and skilled in battle, so why should we fear the army of Cangzhou?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Zhang raised an eyebrow slightly, but responded without changing his expression.
"General Meng is absolutely right."
"However, the fierce generals under Su Ye's command, especially the two war gods wielding clubs today, defeated the three famous Lion Camel Ridge brothers of my Yellow Turban Army on the Wuzhou battlefield."
"This is not to be underestimated. We must deal with it with caution."
The green-robed representative bowed slightly and continued the conversation.
Meng Zhang thought to himself that these behind-the-scenes manipulators clearly wanted to use Su Ye to test his strength, or even weaken his power.
However, how could Meng Zhang let them succeed so easily?
"Everyone, I have a plan that might cripple Su Ye's army in one fell swoop."
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and slowly spoke.
These words immediately created a tense atmosphere in the tent.
All the delegates turned their attention to Meng Zhang, awaiting his next words.
"We can deliberately leak some false information to lure Su Ye into pursuit."
"Then, we will set up an ambush at the designated location, taking advantage of the terrain, and launch a surprise attack once they have entered the trap."
Meng Zhang's tone was calm and confident, as if he had everything under control.
"General Meng's plan is brilliant, but how can we ensure that the intelligence is accurately transmitted to Su Ye, and how can we determine the location and timing of the ambush?"
A sly glint flashed in the eyes of the black-robed representative, but he maintained a calm tone as he spoke.
"Rest assured, everyone, I have a clever plan to pass the intelligence to Su Ye. As for the location and timing of the ambush, we can choose a strategic and suitable place to ambush them, taking advantage of the terrain. Once they step into the ambush, we will catch them off guard and severely damage their army."
Meng Zhang smiled slightly and answered confidently.
"Commander Meng, we are naturally willing to lend a helping hand to our leader. However, great reputations are not undeserved, and two of the top ten on the World's Power Rankings are currently in the Cangzhou army."
"But the Cangzhou army is no ordinary force. If we attack rashly, it may damage the morale of our allied forces."
In my opinion, it would be better to wait and see how things develop.
A representative with a sinister face and dressed in brown slowly spoke.
"That's not quite right. While the Cangzhou army may be brave, how can we boost their morale while diminishing our own?"
"I have a fierce general under my command, known as 'Invincible with Iron Spear,' who is willing to fight against the Cangzhou army."
No sooner had this person finished speaking than another representative, dressed in flowing white robes and holding a feather fan, chimed in.
"What you both say makes sense. However, my mind is made up. This time, I must lure out the governor of Cangzhou, Su Ye, to battle and then find a way to eliminate him."
"I know that your ranks are filled with hidden talents; I wonder which hero is willing to take on this important task of luring the enemy deep into our territory?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Zhang smiled slightly.
After these words were spoken, the tent fell silent once more.
Everyone knew that this was a dangerous mission. Success would be a great achievement, but failure would likely mean utter ruin.
No one's war god falls from the sky; how could they be created like this?
