Chapter 764 Han Xin Seeks Aid from Tianheng Prefecture!
Meanwhile, in the distance, Xiang Yu was leading the remaining Overlord Cavalry, galloping across the wilderness.
His once domineering and unparalleled back view now appeared somewhat lonely, yet also somewhat dignified.
Long Ju followed closely behind, his eyes filled with admiration and worry for Xiang Yu.
"Your Majesty, today's defeat is not due to a lack of skill, but rather to the cunning of Han Xin of the Nine Heavens Army, who also possesses a large force."
Long Ju tried to comfort Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu only shook his head slightly.
"No, Long Ju, Han Xin is no ordinary man. If you ever face him in the future, even if your forces are roughly equal, you should stay as far away as possible. He is not someone you can handle."
"Moreover, I also gained something from today's battle. It showed me another factor on the battlefield besides force."
"However, I, Xiang Yu, will never fall twice in the same place!"
Xiang Yu's voice was deep, as if he were speaking to himself, and also to Long Ju.
Upon hearing this, Long Ju felt reassured. He knew that this overlord never admitted defeat lightly, nor would he give up easily.
Moreover, he believed that as long as the invincible Xiang Yu was there, the banners of the Overlord Cavalry and even the Chu army of Jiangdong would eventually fly over Wenzhou!
As night fell and the stars shone brightly, two figures, in different places, were lost in thought.
At this moment, the fates of Han Xin and Xiang Yu, two outstanding figures of their time, seemed to be tightly linked by invisible threads.
...
Meanwhile, several days passed quietly, and at this time, Tianheng Prefecture, the capital of Hengzhou, presented a peaceful and solemn scene.
The Su Ye residence, currently under the jurisdiction of Tianheng Prefecture, is a magnificent and resplendent place with carved beams and painted rafters.
In the courtyard, exotic flowers and rare plants vie for beauty, and artificial hills and flowing water murmur, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.
In the deepest part of this mansion, in a study, Su Ye sat upright at his desk, toying with an exquisite jade pendant in his hand, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence. Jing Ni, dressed in a tight-fitting fishnet outfit and with a lithe figure, quietly appeared in the study, holding a sealed letter in her fair and jade-like hand.
It was Han Xin who specifically entrusted the Luo Wang organization in the Dayong Dynasty to deliver the letter requesting assistance to Tianheng Prefecture via their special communication methods.
"Your Highness, an urgent letter from General Han Xin of Wenzhou in the Dayong Dynasty."
Jingni bent down slightly and gently presented the letter, her tone devoid of any emotion.
Su Ye took the letter, gently opened it, and quickly skimmed through its contents.
As he read on, his brows furrowed and a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.
In his letter, Han Xin described in detail the battle with Xiang Yu and the current predicament he was facing. He then clearly stated that he hoped Su Ye could send a general capable of fighting against Xiang Yu to Wenzhou.
"Phew, it's finally here!"
After reading the letter, Su Ye remained silent for a while, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound, as he quickly made calculations in his mind.
As early as when Xiang Yu was implanted in the Jiangdong region of the Dayong Dynasty, and not long before, through the Luo Wang organization, it was learned that Xiang Yu had begun to conquer and attack Quezhou in the north.
Su Ye had already roughly realized that after Xiang Yu conquered Quezhou, a conflict with Wenzhou further north was inevitable.
Moreover, a large part of Wenzhou has now been taken over by Han Xin and the Jiuxiao Army, and it also serves as the gateway to Yunzhou in the Dayong Dynasty.
Su Ye and even Han Xin and others naturally had no intention of showing weakness.
Therefore, a battle between Han Xin and Xiang Yu in Wenzhou was inevitable!
Su Ye had long been prepared to confront Xiang Yu head-on.
However, at present, there are not many under Su Ye's command who are truly confident and capable of truly competing with Xiang Yu.
Strictly speaking, there are only two people: Wang Xiangyang, who is currently located in Hengzhou, and Baihu, who is currently fighting in Junzhou, far to the north of the Dayong Dynasty.
However, Baihu was currently fighting a war in Junzhou and was unable to spare any attention, a fact that Su Ye was well aware of.
But if the only goal is to stall Xiang Yu...
So, Su Ye is currently still under orders in Hengzhou, and Zhuque and Xuanwu are somewhat compatible with that.
However, among them, Zhuque is only outstanding in archery, but not in close combat, and may not be able to stop Xiang Yu.
Xuanwu could reliably hold off Xiang Yu, but Xuanwu was the last line of defense for Su Ye's safety, so it naturally couldn't be sent to Wenzhou to support Han Xin.
Therefore, only Wang Xiangyang remains among the remaining candidates!
"Then, we'll have to let Xiangyang go..."
Su Ye murmured to himself, his gaze turning to a corner of the study where a map of Hengzhou hung, marked with troop deployments and strategic points.
His gaze swept across the map, finally settling on a spot in Hengzhou, the very place where Wang Xiangyang was currently stationed.
"I am clear about Xiang Yang's specific strength. Although his current ranking on the World's Heroes Ranking is not high and he is seriously underestimated, resulting in a ranking far lower than Xiang Yu's, Su Ye himself knows that Xiang Yang can definitely stop Xiang Yu."
"I am clear about Xiang Yang's specific strength. Although his current ranking on the World's Heroes Ranking is not high and he is seriously underestimated, resulting in a ranking far lower than Xiang Yu's, Su Ye himself knows that Xiang Yang can definitely stop Xiang Yu."
Su Ye pondered inwardly, his brows furrowed. Wang Xiangyang was not only exceptionally strong, a top-tier general with a base martial arts level of 110, but also Su Ye's pillar of strength, a crucial support for the Hengzhou defense line and the entire strategic layout under Su Ye's command.
With him by her side, Su Ye felt much more confident.
If unexpected events occur on other battlefields, having the trump card of the 110 Heavenly General Wang Xiangyang gives them the confidence to turn the tide or even achieve a counterattack.
If Wang Xiangyang heads south, and something unexpected happens elsewhere, Su Ye won't have an easy time pulling out a trump card to stabilize the situation.
However, Han Xin's request forced him to take it seriously, since Xiang Yu's threat was indeed real and not something that could be dealt with by ordinary people.
"Alas, Han Xin, Han Xin, your move is truly putting me in a difficult position."
Su Ye sighed, put down the jade pendant in his hand, stood up, and paced back and forth in the study.
"Fine, since Han Xin has such confidence, how can I let him down?"
"In that case, let Xiangyang go to Wenzhou and let Xiang Yu experience the awe-inspiring feeling of facing an opponent of the same level!"
Suddenly, Su Ye stopped in his tracks, a resolute glint in his eyes.
Whether in Su Ye's past life or on the Tianwu Continent today, Xiang Yu was always dominant in terms of military strength during his conquests.
Let alone opponents of the same level, I haven't even encountered opponents who are slightly weaker.
This time, let Xiang Yu experience the harsh realities of society!
An opponent of equal caliber, plus the peerless commander "God of War" Han Xin with a base commander rank of 104 – an incredible combination.
This time, we absolutely have to hang that brute Xiang Yu up and whip him!
