Chapter 288 Temporary Break
A few days later, Li He's plan began to be implemented step by step.
Led by Lü Guyun, the light cavalry force, tasked with relieving the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao, set off under cover of night, moving like ghosts behind enemy lines.
The envoy, sent as a diversionary tactic, arrived in Wenzhou Prefecture with a letter seeking peace, but secretly harbored elite forces.
The war was in full swing, and Shangguan Lie's army, under the strategic guidance of Li He, was unstoppable.
After a series of setbacks, Long Junzuo finally realized that he was in deep trouble.
He had to abandon most of Wenzhou and lead the Sparrow King's army to besiege Wenzhou city in order to preserve the army's strength.
However, despite Li He's machinations, Long Junzuo's predicament was not alleviated.
He was forced into a fierce war of attrition with the allied forces of the feudal lords, losing precious troops and resources every day.
Li He's elaborate schemes, however, were like a large net, trapping Long Junzuo and preventing him from escaping.
In the study at night, Shangguan Lie and Li He sat facing each other again.
This time, they all had relaxed smiles on their faces.
"Yun Yi is truly a divine being!"
"This series of schemes is truly ingenious, catching Dragon Lord Zuo completely off guard."
Shangguan Lie praised him sincerely.
"You flatter me, my lord."
"This victory is entirely due to the brilliance of our lord and the bravery of our soldiers; I only contributed a small part."
Li He remained humble and spoke gently.
Shangguan Lie shook his head and said, "Sir, there's no need for such modesty. Without your wisdom and strategy, how could we have achieved victory so easily?" He raised his teacup to Li Hejing and said, "The future is long. Let us drink this cup together to celebrate today's victory!"
The two raised their glasses and drank together, bringing the atmosphere in the study to a climax.
However, Li He knew in his heart that the victory in this war was only temporary.
Next, we'll have to see how things go on with Quezhou Quewang.
Once the King of Mahjong loses in Mahjong State.
Then Long Junzuo in Wenzhou Prefecture would surely be thrown into chaos.
That will be their opportunity.
An opportunity to completely defeat Long Junzuo and the Dragon Sparrow Army of Dayong!
...
Just as war raged in Wenzhou and the situation was turbulent.
Su Ye had just crawled out of the gentle embrace of love.
As the first rays of the sun peeked out of Cangling City like a shy maiden, golden sunlight streamed through the window, dappling the exquisite bed and adding warmth to the tranquil bedroom.
Under the warm sunlight, Su Ye slowly opened her eyes, her eyes sparkling with the hazy and lazy feeling of early morning.
Beside him, four soft, lotus-like arms, like gentle vines, softly wrapped around him.
He gently parted the "vines" and sat up from the warmth of the blankets.
Beside him, Jing Ni, who currently serves as Su Ye's personal bodyguard, and Wei Zifu, his personal maid, lay naked, both still fast asleep.
As Su Ye got up, the two people on the bed also began to move.
Jing Ni rubbed her sleepy eyes first, looked up at Su Ye, and showed deep fatigue on her face.
Needless to say, Jing Ni, a master at the peak of the Grandmaster level, is far superior to the weak Wei Zifu.
She was clearly the main player last night.
Wei Zifu lazily turned over and opened her sleepy eyes.
Her eyes still held a hint of dazedness from just waking up, like a budding flower, appearing exceptionally beautiful in the morning sunlight.
"Your Highness, you're awake."
Wei Zifu struggled to sit up. Although she was still exhausted, her face showed deep concern for Su Ye.
She gently tidied her messy hair, then struggled to stand up from the bed and gracefully walked to Su Ye's side.
"My lord, let me help you change your clothes."
'
Her voice was soft and sweet, like a spring breeze gently caressing one's heart.
As she spoke, she began to tidy up Su Ye's disheveled clothes.
The movements were gentle and skillful, as if caressing a precious work of art.
Her fingers deftly darted through Su Ye's clothes.
Su Ye looked at her quietly, a satisfied gleam in his eyes.
Having a wise empress as his personal maid, I enjoyed a moment of the treatment Emperor Wu of Han received.
At this moment, Wei Zifu seemed to have forgotten the fatigue and hard work of the previous night, and was wholeheartedly serving Su Ye.
Every subtle movement she made seemed to express her admiration and affection for Su Ye.
With Wei Zifu's skillful hands moving lightly, Su Ye's clothes were neatly arranged, not a single detail out of place.
He stood up, stretched his limbs, and enjoyed the comfort of his new clothes.
Then, he turned to look at Wei Zifu and gave her a satisfied smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, Zifu."
Su Ye said gently.
Although Wei Zifu's identity was implanted.
But I have to say...
During this time, the woman took meticulous care of him, and her presence made his life more comfortable and orderly.
During this period, Su Ye felt like she was spoiling him rotten.
You don't have to worry about anything in your life.
You don't have to worry about anything in your life.
Wei Zifu always managed to appear before Su Ye whenever he needed her.
As for Su Ye's sigh, Wei Zifu chuckled softly.
He then bowed deeply and silently stepped aside, awaiting Su Ye's next instruction.
As the sunlight gradually rose, the dormitory room became brighter and warmer. (Su)
Ye stood by the window, gazing at the distant Cangling City.
The rising sun shone on the two of them, as if draping them in a golden halo.
Then, Su Ye slowly walked to the desk.
Today is the day Li Jing returns to Cangling City to report on his duties.
With the gradual pacification of various places in Qizhou over this period of time.
The tiger king beside him remained silent for the time being.
Therefore, Li Jing could not remain in command of a large army indefinitely without returning.
Although Li Jing now bears heavy responsibilities and commands elite troops, he cannot linger outside for long.
His trust in Su Ye was as deep as the sea, but knowing and doing are two different things.
Even if he had a legitimate reason, he knew in his heart that Su Ye trusted him.
But knowing or not knowing is one thing, doing or not doing is another.
Even if Li Jing didn't come back this time...
There was a legitimate reason to be stationed in Qizhou to guard against the Tiger King.
Actually, there's not much anyone can find fault with it.
But even with all sorts of reasons, Li Jing still understood in his heart that trust is not maintained by words, but by actions.
Although his return to the capital was to be stationed in Qizhou to guard against the threat of the Tiger King, it was a perfectly reasonable move and no one would object to it.
But in Li Jing's heart, what he cared about was not the opinions of the world, but Su Ye's opinion.
Su Ye might not mind his staying behind, but Li Jing knew he had to show his loyalty and demonstrate his commitment.
This subtle emotion and consideration, like the drizzle of early spring, is not ostentatious, yet it is enough to nourish all things.
Even if Su Ye doesn't mind, Li Jing himself still has to show his attitude.
This trend should not be allowed to continue.
Therefore, after several tests, it was confirmed that the Tiger King would not take any action against Qizhou for the time being.
Li Jing left Xue Rengui, Qin Qiong, and a few others to guard Qizhou.
He then led his personal guards and rode swiftly back to Cangzhou.
