"The rise of that Duke Zhenguo is a threat to the Great Qian Dynasty, and the same is true for our northern frontier."
"However, direct confrontation is not the best strategy. What we should do now is to use their strength against them, take advantage of the Daqian court's fear of Su Ye, and form an alliance with them to some extent, at least to reach a consensus on the point of confronting Su Ye."
"As for the Great Ling Dynasty, it is currently engulfed in war, and its situation is no different from, or even worse than, that of the Great Qian Dynasty. Moreover, its territory is vast and rich in resources. If our Night Fiend Army can take one or two states from it, it will undoubtedly be a major breakthrough for our Northern Frontier and can form the foundation for our hegemony!"
Zhao Kuangyin, however, appeared more cautious, and after a moment of contemplation, he also agreed.
Now they are at Minglong Pass, and neither side can do anything to Yin Yuanxun and Qiu Longteng. It's not good to keep dragging this out, so they might as well march to Xiling!
After listening to everyone's opinions, Ye Wuhen, who was at the head of the table, probably already had a plan in mind.
"Very well, since that brat Su Ye intends to seize Wuzhou, the Great Qian Dynasty will inevitably be distracted. Therefore, our Night Fiend Army will seize this opportunity to march west and conquer Daling!"
He stood up, walked to the map in the camp, and gently traced the intricate terrain lines with his finger, finally stopping at the location of the Great Ling Dynasty.
"The Great Ling Dynasty has been weakened in recent years, which is a good opportunity for us to expand."
"Moreover, this move will prevent the Great Qian Dynasty from fighting on two fronts, north and south, thus diverting its forces and allowing them to properly engage in a battle with that brat Su Ye!"
Upon hearing this, the tent erupted in uproar, and Zhao Fengyun's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Moreover, we can also take this opportunity to secretly contact the opposition forces within Da Ling, and work together from the inside and outside to increase our chances of winning."
Ye Yun gently waved her feather fan and added with a smile.
"Your Highness, this humble general is willing to lead the troops there and will certainly not fail your expectations."
Yan Qifeng nodded in agreement, then quickly cupped her hands towards Ye Wuhen at the head of the table and asked for permission to fight.
"Night King, we brothers are willing to be the vanguard, and we will surely open up a new world for Your Highness in the Great Ling Dynasty!"
Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi exchanged a glance, both seeing the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
The two brothers, wanting to quickly climb the ranks within the Night Fury and squeeze past the veterans, naturally had to be proactive.
"Good! From this moment forward, the entire army shall be fully prepared and ready to march. The main force of the Nightshade Iron Cavalry shall prepare to launch a western expedition against Daling."
"Zhao Fengyun is in charge of reorganizing the cavalry to ensure our mobility. Ye Yun is in charge of intelligence gathering and strategy formulation, and we must know ourselves and our enemy. Yan Qifeng will lead the main force and be ready to attack at any time. Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, you two brothers will lead the vanguard to scout ahead and clear the way for the main army."
Looking at the generals below him, their fighting spirits high, Ye Wuhen felt reassured.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Fengyun and Zhao Kuangyin, who were sitting at the lower end of the tent, exchanged a glance and then responded in unison. Their voices resounded throughout the tent, as if even the wind and snow outside were shaken.
Subsequently, the main force of the Night Fury cavalry behind Minglong Pass began to be secretly mobilized, and food and supplies were continuously transported to the front line of Xiling in the west.
At the same time, Ye Wuhen also sent an envoy to the Daqian army below Minglong Pass, secretly proposing peace talks, but in reality, he was secretly observing Daqian's reaction and making final preparations for the western expedition against Daling.
And soon, in tacit agreement with Qiu Longteng and Yin Yuanxun, who were commanding the Daqian Dynasty army, they slowed down their offensive and began to allow the Daqian Dynasty to free up its hands to interfere with Zhenguo Gong Su Ye.
...
Just as the Nightshade Army was making intensive preparations for the westward expedition outside Minglong Pass in the northern frontier, and supplies were flowing into the Xiling front line like a river.
Far in the heart of the Great Ling Dynasty, the three Liu brothers, Liu Bang, Liu Xiu, and Liu Yu, were sitting around a somewhat rough wooden table.
The three met in Liu Bang's tent. Outside, the wind and snow were raging, but inside the tent, the lights were on and the atmosphere was heavy.
These three brothers now each command one of the top rebel armies in Daling. Although they each raised an army to rebel against the dynasty, after coming into contact with each other, they became acquainted because they were all members of the Liu clan.
Currently, they maintain a delicate balance and cooperation. In any case, their common goal is to completely overthrow the crumbling Great Ling Dynasty and rebuild an order.
Furthermore, after making contact, the three of them joined forces to create a common intelligence network—the Embroidered Robe Envoy.
This Embroidered Robe Envoy, which was gradually established by the three Liu brothers, is now being built up through the combined efforts of their respective personnel and forces.
Now it is like an invisible net, covering both inside and outside Daling, and no movement can escape its notice.
Therefore, an urgent secret letter quietly landed on Liu Bang's desk, and the matter described in the letter was the intelligence about the large-scale mobilization of the Nightshade Army.
"It seems the Night Fiend Army of the Northern Frontier has also set its sights on our Great Ling, this juicy piece of meat. What are your thoughts?"
Liu Bang handed the secret letter to the two men and said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, these barbarians from the northern frontier of the Great Qian Dynasty have quite the appetite."
"However, if they want to easily set foot on the territory of my Great Ling, they'll have to ask our swords and spears if they agree."
Liu Xiu took the letter, quickly glanced through it, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Hmph, these Night Furies are truly insatiable! They're like a snake trying to swallow an elephant!"
Compared to Liu Bang and Liu Xiu, Liu Yu, who believed more in military force, slammed his fist on the table, his tone filled with dissatisfaction and apprehension.
"That's true."
"We finally managed to gain a foothold in this chaotic world, and just when we saw that the fate of the Great Ling Dynasty was about to end, we were about to take it over in one fell swoop. We never expected that the Night Fiend Army of the Northern Frontier would also want a share of the pie."
Liu Bang, sitting at the head of the table, stepped forward, his eyes gleaming, appearing even more profound.
"Although the Night Fury are strong, our three armies combined may not be without the power to fight them."
"However, if we really clash head-on with the Night Fiend Army, I'm afraid we'll both suffer heavy losses, and the one who will ultimately benefit is the crumbling Great Ling royal family."
Liu Xiu rubbed his temples. Of the three brothers, Liu Bang was an old rogue, but he was decisive in important matters, though he was occasionally unreliable in minor ones. Liu Yu, on the other hand, was a war fanatic who believed in force, so he naturally wouldn't pay attention to some minor details.
Therefore, among the three Liu brothers today, it is actually Liu Xiu, who has never been very famous, who has been in charge of overall planning and strategizing.
"What Wen Shu (Liu Xiu, courtesy name Wen Shu) said is absolutely right. We have worked hard for many years to overthrow this corrupt dynasty. If we fight the Night Fiend Army now, it will be like doing a favor for someone else."
"In my opinion, we should send a large army to investigate their strengths and weaknesses before making any further plans."
Liu Yu, the youngest of the three Liu brothers, was a bit more impetuous than Liu Bang and Liu Xiu, but his military talent was undeniable. He clearly realized that now was not the time to fight the Nightshade Army to the death.
