Su Ye stood alone in front of the map, gazing at the war-torn northern border of Hengzhou, his heart filled with complex emotions.
At present, the Cangzhou Army under Su Ye's command has only recently risen to prominence and its foundation is still shallow.
In the short few years since Su Ye took power, the Cangzhou army first reorganized its internal affairs and then carried out a bloody massacre in Cangzhou.
Then, without stopping, they launched a campaign to Qizhou, and not long after they finished attacking Qizhou...
They then marched west to conquer the Yellow Turbans, and subsequently took Hengzhou.
With this series of events, the Cangzhou army has been fighting in the north and south for the past few years without stopping.
It was also thanks to Su Ye's foresight and good fortune that he was able to summon many political figures such as Gao Jiong, Xun Yu, and Li Shanchang.
With their abilities, these individuals could easily serve as prime ministers of an entire dynasty, which is why Cangzhou, despite its vast territory, has been engaged in continuous warfare for several years without experiencing economic collapse.
But it's almost at its limit.
Cangzhou was, after all, just a prefecture, and a frontier prefecture close to the border.
Xun Yu and his group have managed to supply hundreds of thousands of troops from a border state for several years, nearly exhausting Cangzhou's war potential for the next few years.
If this fight continues, even if they have extraordinary abilities, they won't be able to hold out.
Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. Cangzhou's size is what it is, and they've squeezed out all the potential they could.
The remaining Qizhou and Hengzhou are newly acquired territories, and it will take a long time just to stabilize the people's hearts, let alone use them as bases.
Therefore, for the foreseeable future, Su Ye and even his Cangzhou army will likely have to stay put for a while.
Let Xun Yu, Gao Jiong, and the others take some time to farm.
and many more...
Thinking about farming, Su Ye suddenly remembered that he still had a mission reward he hadn't claimed.
"System, what's wrong? You're not being proactive at all."
Su Ye sat in the study and spoke to the system in his mind.
"Ding! Host has completed the mission: The Road to Hegemony - Establishing the Great Qian Dynasty!"
Mission objective: In the upcoming Central Region War, the host is tasked with acquiring at least one state! (Note: The more territories the host controls, the richer the rewards!)
Guaranteed Rewards: For every state the host occupies, they will receive one Saint-level attribute summoning card, three God-level attribute summoning cards, and three system shop refresh opportunities!
"Ding! The current host has completely occupied Hengzhou. Mission complete!"
Congratulations, host, you have received the following rewards: one Saint-level attribute summoning card, three God-level attribute summoning cards, and three system shop refresh opportunities!
As Su Ye inquired, the system, which had been lying dormant for a long time, finally popped up and rang in Su Ye's ears.
"System, how much stuff do I have left in my inventory?"
Su Ye rubbed his hands together expectantly, knowing that his three major states were about to embark on a grand farming journey.
Shouldn't we immediately unleash a massive summoning attack?
In any case, I shouldn't be able to fight large-scale battles right now, so no matter how many powerful figures I send out, it won't affect me for the time being.
As long as it's not the kind of situation where you're fighting and suddenly the system balances out a monster on the other side, it's fine.
As for whether it will have an impact on other places?
Wouldn't that be even better!
"Ding! The host currently has 6300 Summoning Points remaining in their inventory."
One top-tier martial prowess summoning card (base martial prowess 108 or higher), one top-tier attribute summoning card (command, intelligence, politics, charm 103 or higher), one special troop card - Dao Soldier summoning card, one ultimate special talent card (special attributes, such as commerce, forging, etc., at maximum value), one designated family summoning card (can be used to summon an entire family of one of the host's subordinates), one era summoning card, one designated skill upgrade card, two saint-level attribute summoning cards, five god-level attribute summoning cards, one unlimited random summoning card, three random summoning cards, and three system shop refresh opportunities.
The system's voice sounded again.
Recently, Su Ye has been on a campaign, first fighting the Yellow Turbans, then Hengzhou, and at the same time, Wei Qing's Imperial Guards are fighting the Night Fiend Army in the northern border of Hengzhou.
The summoning points kept increasing rapidly, and then a lot of them were consumed in the system shop that refreshed every month.
However, despite the various conquests, Su Ye's summoning points still reached as high as 6300.
Then there are the summoning cards, which are the rewards for the previous Emperor's Fall mission and the mission to take Hengzhou this time.
Some of the extra summon cards were ones that Su Ye had occasionally snagged from the system shop.
Then, during the conquest process, I also completed some side quests and received rewards.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad."
Su Ye looked at his system backpack, which was now full of rewards, and nodded in satisfaction.
Previously, because he was conquering Hengzhou, the Cangzhou army under his command was already strong enough to overwhelm Hengzhou.
Su Ye did not summon him again to avoid any further complications.
If some incredibly powerful character were to go to the other side of Hengzhou, Su Ye would have nowhere to cry.
With Su Ye's current lineup, he can fight anyone.
However, with increased casualties among his troops, the road to conquering Hengzhou has undoubtedly become more arduous.
Even the northern border of Hengzhou may be subject to unforeseen changes!
It's important to understand that Zhao Fengyun's sudden intensification of the offensive in the northern border of Hengzhou was not without reason.
Most people within the Great Qian Dynasty have now realized that once Su Ye has completely taken control of Hengzhou...
At that time, with control of the three prefectures of Cang, Qi, and Heng, his power within the Great Qian territory will be at its zenith and unshakeable.
Therefore, the Night Fiend Army must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Su Ye before he has gained a firm foothold.
Zhao Fengyun suddenly intensified his offensive, even disregarding casualties, in order to disrupt or delay Su Ye's capture of Hengzhou.
Even if Wei Qing's Imperial Guards were defeated by Zhao Fengyun in the northern border of Hengzhou, the Night Sha Army's cavalry would launch a large-scale southward offensive.
In the end, it's uncertain who will own Hengzhou.
At the very least, it's definitely impossible for Su Ye to take over all of Hengzhou.
It was also thanks to Wei Qing's capable leadership that he managed to hold off Zhao Fengyun's Night Fiend Army in the northern border of Hengzhou for so long.
Then Su Ye's side didn't hesitate either, quickly taking Hengzhou and then ordering Tie Shiwen and Lian Po to immediately head north to provide support.
Finally, seeing that the situation in Hengzhou was settled for the Cangzhou army, the Nightshade Army could free up its main force to head north.
Only then did they turn their attention to signing an alliance with Su Ye to prevent Wei Qing from ambushing their main force on the main battlefield of Daqian.
"System, let's warm up the atmosphere with an unlimited random summon card first!"
With a wave of his hand, Su Ye finally showed his generosity after accumulating wealth for so long.
Previously, unlimited random summoning cards that could serve as the main summoning force have now become appetizers.
