Chapter 784 The Heavenly General's Position: Li Cunxiao, at a Disadvantage
Cola Novels always has a story waiting for you to open.
Shortly after the war in Yanzhou officially ended, in the Zhenguo Duke's mansion in Tianheng Prefecture, there was an unusual tension amidst the tranquility.
Su Ye sat on a pearwood chair in the study, toying with an exquisite jade pendant in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.
At that moment, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the room, and then, Jing Ni, dressed in tight leather armor and looking heroic, pushed open the door and entered.
"My lord, an urgent message has arrived from the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven)!"
Jing Ni's voice carried a subtle undercurrent of emotion. For the usually aloof Jing Ni to show such a reaction, the news was clearly of great importance.
Su Ye suddenly stood up, looking at Jing Ni in astonishment, a strange premonition rising in his heart.
With his intelligence network, the Luo Wang, which extends throughout the entire Daqian Dynasty, Su Ye keeps a close eye on any major events happening in the dynasty.
Currently, the only major news in the Great Qian Dynasty is the war in Yan Province.
"explain!"
Su Ye's voice was low and deep; he already had a general idea of what the next piece of information would be.
"The City of Flame King has fallen, the Crimson Imperial Army has surrendered, and the State of Flame is pacified!"
Jing Ni's words exploded in Su Ye's ears like a thunderclap.
He was stunned for a moment, cursing inwardly that the Yan King's Mansion and the Yuan family were so useless, so easily pacified by the Great Qian Dynasty.
Although he had already learned from the intelligence of the Luo Wang that the Chi Yu Army was riddled with internal conflicts and that the Yan Wang Mansion and other aristocratic families such as the Yuan family were constantly fighting amongst themselves, he did not expect that the Da Qian Dynasty would act so quickly and cleanly to resolve the troubles in Yan Prefecture.
Su Ye slowly sat back down, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the turmoil in her heart.
After a while, he slowly exhaled, opened his eyes, looked at Jingni, and gestured for her to continue.
Jingni took out a secret letter from her bosom and handed it to Su Ye, who took it and read it carefully.
The secret letter detailed how the Shi family of the Yan King's Mansion had turned against the Qian family, the fall of Yan King's City, and the chaos within the Crimson Imperial Army.
It is worth mentioning that after Yuan Shu was killed by Yang Yin, Yuan Hong, who was held back by Gong Xiaochuan, was disheartened and did not want to fight anymore. He left the battlefield alone and joined Yuan Shao and others, and was moving towards the location of the Taiping Sect headquarters in the south.
After reading the secret letter, Su Ye lingered for a moment on the intelligence report about Yuan Hong escaping alone, his eyes turning cold.
He knew Yuan Hong's strength; he was a rare and formidable general.
Of course, no matter what Yuan Hong does, it has nothing to do with him. For Su Ye, the most important thing about Yuan Hong is that he still holds the position of a Heavenly God General!
Nowadays, all the positions of Heavenly Gods and Generals on the Tianwu Continent are completely filled, like a radish in a hole.
Besides Xiang Yu, who seized the last opportunity and immediately secured the last Heavenly God General position upon his birth, thus elevating his skill "War Ghost" to "War God,"...
The other top-tier characters who emerged later, such as Li Yuanba, Donghuang Taiyi, and even Li Cunxiao, still have no special abilities.
Therefore, even if other celestial generals occasionally encounter some unexpected events, leaving one or two vacant positions, Li Yuanba, Donghuang Taiyi, and Li Cunxiao would all compete for them.
Whether or not one can seize the position depends entirely on luck. In fact, in the competition for the position of Heavenly General, Li Cunxiao does not have an advantage over the other two.
Donghuang Taiyi goes without saying; he cultivates both internal and external strength, simultaneously mastering the internal energy of the Yin-Yang School and the Great Sun Qi of the Gang Qi side, making his battlefield endurance unparalleled among his peers.
Similarly, Donghuang Taiyi, who cultivates both internal and external strength and has also practiced internal strength, definitely has an advantage over the other two in competing for the ethereal position of Heavenly God General!
Li Yuanba was the same; although he was slightly inferior to Donghuang Taiyi, the most crucial thing was that he was stupid!
Compared to other top-tier characters with a base weapon rating of 110, Li Yuanba relies entirely on his talent and brute strength.
While he may not have many advantages in other aspects, in a world with extraordinary powers, Li Yuanba, who is born with a mental disability yet possesses extraordinary talent, has a more palatable quality—a pure heart!
In the competition for such a divine general position, although he is no match for Donghuang Taiyi in every aspect, his "pure heart" is enough!
Among the many top-tier weapons, Li Yuanba is the only one who has the opportunity to overtake others despite being inferior in various aspects.
Unfortunately, the "innocent heart" advantage, once a special cheat code for protagonists assigned by many authors, is just a bit strange.
In a sense, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it "my power of thought".
Generally, protagonists with the "childlike heart" cheat only need to focus on one thing in their hearts, and leave the rest to luck!
Therefore, compared to the other two who were overpowered, Li Cunxiao did not have much of an advantage in this aspect.
Even if one of them were to slip through, and it came down to skill, Li Cunxiao would most likely lose to the other two.
Therefore, Su Ye has already begun to devise alternative paths for Li Cunxiao.
Since they can't steal from the other two "beasts" through normal means, why not just let Li Cunxiao "take" them directly from other celestial generals!
It just so happens that Yuan Hong came to us directly this time, because Yuan Hong had previously fought a bloody battle with the Great Qian Dynasty in the Red Imperial Army.
Su Ye didn't plan to do anything to him yet. Now that the Crimson Imperial Army was gone, the entire army had surrendered directly under the leadership of Yan Wangfu, the "leader of surrender".
To Su Ye, Yuan Shao, Yuan Hong, and even the Yuan family behind them are now utterly useless.
The Yuan family, who originally controlled most of the power in the Crimson Guard, were still regarded favorably by Su Ye, but without the Crimson Guard...
To be honest, in chaotic times, powerful families like the Yuan family could be silently destroyed at any moment.
Now that the Yuan family has lost the Crimson Imperial Army, they are no longer of any value to Su Ye.
Let the Yuan family make one last contribution to us.
Use Yuan Hong's life to make Li Cunxiao a god!
"Jingni, immediately inform Li Cunxiao to lead the Flying Tiger Cavalry lightly equipped to Luzhou."
"Someone will meet them when the time comes."
He looked up at Jing Ni, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Jingni's eyes flashed with surprise, but she immediately accepted the order and left, using her lightness skill to disappear from Su Ye's sight in an instant.
Su Ye sat at his desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the surface, pondering his next move.
Yuan Hong's escape is undoubtedly a variable, but also an opportunity.
If Su Ye could intercept Yuan Hong in Luzhou, he could not only seize the Yuan family, including the remnants of the powerful clans behind them, as well as most of their wealth and resources, but also win the position of Heavenly General for Li Cunxiao. This would undoubtedly be a win-win situation for Su Ye.
This can be considered the last contribution that the Yuan family and those other powerful clans made to him.
