I summoned all the famous generals of history in another world.

Chapter 349 Preparations: The Strategy of Pride.

Upon hearing this, a chorus of agreement immediately arose in the court.

The ministers unanimously expressed their approval and praised the decision to arrange the marriage.

Si Xiaofei smiled slightly, secretly rejoicing.

The original intention of sending the princess to form a marriage alliance was to stabilize the two eastern states and prevent them from descending into chaos.

Unexpectedly, it has become the lifeline of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"The loyalty and bravery of the Prince of Yun are commendable. I hereby decree that Su Aiqing shall be well rewarded after the war ends."

He glanced at the assembled officials in the court and said with satisfaction.

The atmosphere in the court became much more relaxed because of this news.

The ministers discussed Su Ye's righteous act and the future direction of the war in the northern frontier.

"Quickly inform the Grand Tutor of this news so that he can proceed north with peace of mind."

Si Xiaofei turned to a messenger and said in a deep voice.

The messenger departed with the order, while the discussion in the court continued.

The ministers knew that although the war in the north was still dire, they at least had a glimmer of hope.

In the camp on the southern battlefield, Gu Changqing had already made a decision.

He summoned his generals, including Jiu Ling, and announced his plan to march north to the northern frontier.

"With General Su Ye's support, we can temporarily put aside the war in the south."

"Right now, our focus is on the northern frontier. The Night Sha army is not to be underestimated; we must go all out."

Gu Changqing looked around at the generals and said firmly.

Meanwhile, in the Cangzhou camp in Wuzhou, Su Ye sat quietly in his tent, playing with an exquisite jade pendant in his hand, a deep and unfathomable smile on his face.

His letter had been sent, but the words in it were not entirely from the heart.

The leaves of the sycamore trees outside the window swayed in the wind, and dappled sunlight fell on the desk, illuminating Su Ye's deep eyes.

He secretly calculated that Meng Zhang in the south of Qianzhou in the Great Qian Dynasty was now one of his own, so the war in Luzhou would not consume too much of his energy.

This tactic of using someone else to do the dirty work was precisely to get Gu Changqing to lead the main force of the Great Qian Dynasty northward to fight the Night Fiend Army in the north of the Great Qian Dynasty to the death.

He gently put down the jade pendant in his hand, stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the distant horizon.

That place was the north, which was about to become a battlefield.

For him, this war is just a game for now.

And what he wants to do is to be the mastermind behind this game.

The struggle between the Great Qian Dynasty and the Night Fiend Army will inevitably result in mutual destruction.

At that time, Su Ye, who commands the Cangzhou army, and Meng Zhang, who commands hundreds of thousands of elite Yellow Turban troops in Luzhou in the south, will be able to reap the benefits and become the true winners of this war.

Inside the large tent, a gentle breeze blew by, causing the letters on the table to flutter softly.

Su Ye snapped out of her reverie, turned around and walked back to her desk, gently smoothing out the letter.

He sat down again and began to meticulously plan his next move.

...

Meanwhile, in the wilderness of Hengzhou, the autumn wind was bleak, and battle flags fluttered in the wind.

At this moment, the 30,000 Cangzhou troops had arrived, accompanied by a team of five men in Five Elements Armor specially sent by Su Ye. Each of them wore armor of the five colors of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and their momentum was overwhelming.

"I am deeply grateful to all of you for coming from afar."

"But the war is urgent, and we need to plan carefully in order to achieve victory in one battle."

Wei Qing dismounted and greeted Li Xinnan and the other four men one by one, speaking with a solemn expression.

"General Wei, you flatter me. Our lord has specifically instructed us on this."

"We are willing to obey the general's orders and fight together against the Nightshade Army."

Li Xinnan, the leader of the Flame Dragon Armor, clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Now that the five of us have arrived, we will stand with General Wei and advance or retreat together. Please give us your orders, General."

west Zhao, one of the five, also expressed his opinion.

"Gentlemen, please be patient. I have a plan to defeat the Nightshade Army."

Wei Qing smiled slightly and waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, everyone listened intently.

"The Night Fury army has launched a fierce offensive in recent days, but pride comes before a fall."

"My intention is to retreat in order to advance, to show the enemy weakness, and to deliver a fatal blow when they become arrogant."

Wei Qing continued.

"Does General Wei mean that we should refrain from battle for the time being and conceal our strength?"

Bei Miao frowned, already somewhat unhappy that they would have to take orders from Wei Qing, a general who had come through connections.

"That's right. Our 30,000 troops and five divine generals are our trump cards."

"If we fight now, we may win, but it will be difficult to annihilate the enemy. It is better to wait for the right opportunity to decide the outcome in one fell swoop."

Wei Qing noticed Bei Miao's displeasure, but he didn't take it to heart and nodded.

"But what if the Night Fury army fails to capture the city after a prolonged siege and then retreats?"

Wu Dongshan, standing to the side, said with concern.

"I have a brilliant plan to make the Night Fury army unable to resist."

A glint of light flashed in Wei Qing's eyes.

After speaking, he explained his strategic plan to everyone in detail, including how to feign weakness to lure the enemy on the battlefield, how to set traps, and when to launch a general offensive.

"General Wei's plan is brilliant; we will surely defeat the Nightshade Army."

Li Xinnan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly.

"That's right, we are willing to follow the general's orders."

Kunzhong, who had been slacking off and not saying a word, chimed in from the side.

Wei Qing looked at everyone, feeling very gratified.

"This battle concerns our lord's grand plan. I hope you will all work together to overcome this difficult time."

"This battle concerns our lord's grand plan. I hope you will all work together to overcome this difficult time."

He took a deep breath and said solemnly.

The soldiers responded in unison, their voices resounding through the sky.

Subsequently, Wei Qing began his strategic planning, while the 30,000 Cangzhou troops and the five men in the Five Elements Armor secretly stationed themselves in a secluded place near Hengzhou City, waiting for the right opportunity.

At this time, Wei Qing's army and Yan Qifeng's Night Fiend Army had been locked in a stalemate for more than a month.

Both sides were searching for each other's weaknesses, hoping to achieve a decisive victory.

However, Wei Qing appeared unusually calm at this moment, knowing full well the principle that pride comes before a fall.

Therefore, even with the reinforcement of 30,000 Cangzhou troops, they did not reveal their strength and were eager to launch a decisive battle.

Instead, they hid it, planning to reveal this trump card at the most crucial moment!

Under Wei Qing's ingenious plan, his army appeared to be in retreat, but in reality, he was luring the Nightshade army deeper into the territory and cultivating their arrogance.

Whenever the Night Fiend Army launched an attack, Wei Qing would always order his soldiers to put up a brief resistance before retreating in an orderly manner, making the Night Fiend Army mistakenly believe that they were easily defeated.

This strategy proved effective, and the morale of the Night Fury army soared even higher.

Especially Gongsun Yang, the strongest war god in the Nightshade Army, is now full of fighting spirit and arrogant.

Having been severely wounded by Ran Min of the Imperial Guard in the initial battle, they should have learned their lesson and remained vigilant.

However, Ran Min repeatedly feigned weakness and pretended to be no match for Gongsun Yang.

Gongsun Yang gradually forgot the painful lessons of the first battle and became increasingly arrogant.

The first time, when the Night Sha Army surged in like a tide, Wei Qing ordered the frontline soldiers to put up a brief resistance before retreating in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, the Night Fiend Army cheered loudly, thinking that Wei Qing's army was cowardly, and thus attacked even more recklessly.

The second time, Wei Qing again ordered his soldiers to retreat at a critical moment, abandoning some of their baggage and provisions.

Seeing this, the Night Fury soldiers scrambled for the spoils, their morale soaring even higher.

Although Yan Qifeng sensed something was amiss, she did not stop the soldiers because of their high morale.

The third time, Wei Qing used the same method, but this time he secretly laid an ambush.

As the Night Sha army once again descended into chaos as they scrambled for spoils, an ambush suddenly appeared, inflicting considerable casualties on the Night Sha.

However, Wei Qing did not press his advantage and instead ordered his troops to retreat again.
