Chapter 676 The Situation in Wuzhou, Lion Camel Heads West
"The Yin-Yang School has a thousand-year-old heritage and profound foundation. If it were to act on my behalf, the losses would be incalculable."
Su Ye felt the warmth of Fei Yan's palm, and his heart warmed. He gently squeezed her hand back and smiled.
"Your Highness, please don't say that. In Feiyan's heart, Your Highness's importance far surpasses everything in the Yin-Yang School."
"Moreover, Your Highness's plans are a grand undertaking. Feiyan and the Yin-Yang School are willing to pave a smooth path for Your Highness, even if the road ahead is full of thorns."
Feiyan gently shook her head, her gaze tender, and said words that made countless Yin Yang School disciples uneasy.
Su Ye looked at Fei Yan, a strange feeling of emotion welling up inside him.
He knew that Fei Yan's words were true; given her status and influence in the Yin-Yang School, she could indeed do everything she said.
But he knew even better what such an effort meant for Fei Yan.
"Feiyan, you don't have to do this. I don't want you to sacrifice too much for me."
Su Ye said softly, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"Your Highness, everything Feiyan did was voluntary, not a sacrifice. It is Feiyan's honor to fight alongside Your Highness."
"Moreover, the Yin-Yang School also needs Your Highness's help to stabilize the situation in the martial arts world and the status of all schools. This is a win-win situation."
Fei Yan smiled slightly, as if she could see through Su Ye's thoughts.
Just then, a soft footstep sound came from outside the study.
"Your Highness, Lady Feiyan, I have prepared some tea and snacks. Would it be convenient to bring them in?"
However, the footsteps stopped outside the study, followed by a soft voice.
"Come in."
Su Ye and Fei Yan exchanged a glance, knowing it was either Ehuang or Nüying, and Su Ye responded softly.
The door was gently pushed open, and Ehuang walked in carrying an exquisite tea tray.
She saw Su Ye and Fei Yan's hands clasped tightly together, and a gentle smile flashed in her eyes.
She then walked quietly to the table, placed the tea and snacks on it, and stepped aside to wait patiently.
Looking at the tea and snacks on the table, Su Ye felt a warm current welling up in her heart.
These women, though each with their own unique qualities, all silently love themselves in their own way.
"Ehuang, sit down and eat with us."
Su Ye smiled and looked at Ehuang.
Upon hearing this, Ehuang's face lit up with a delighted smile.
She glanced at Nüying and saw that Nüying was also smiling and gesturing to her, so she felt relieved and walked over to sit down next to Su Ye.
Sunlight streamed through the window, bathing them in a golden glow.
Just then, the study door was gently pushed open, and a lithe figure dressed in a tight-fitting fishnet outfit quietly entered—it was Jing Ni from Luo Wang.
She bowed, her movements light and graceful, like a gentle breeze.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Jingni's voice, clear and cool yet gentle, broke the cozy atmosphere in the study at just the right moment.
Su Ye turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on Jing Ni, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Jingni, when did you arrive? Is there something important you need?"
He asked softly, his tone tinged with curiosity.
"Your Highness, the Luo Wang organization has just brought back important information regarding the latest movements of the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou in the south."
Jingni straightened up, presented a sealed letter with both hands, and said as she did so.
Upon hearing this, Su Ye raised an eyebrow and, while taking the letter, gestured for Jing Ni to continue.
"After the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge of the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou split from the three great war kings, including Meng Huwang, they returned to Wuzhou overnight, leading tens of thousands of elite Yellow Turban troops from Wuzhou away, and then headed towards Xiling."
"At present, the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou has fallen into unprecedented turmoil. Some of its troops are still supporting Zhu Yuanzhang in Da Xuan, while the Yellow Turban Army left in Wuzhou is in turmoil and uneasy, and the situation is worrying."
Jingni nodded and began to give a detailed report.
As Su Ye listened to Jing Ni's report, he quickly scanned the letters in his hand, his brows gradually furrowing.
As a crucial hub connecting Hengzhou and Daxuan, the stability of Wuzhou directly impacts the safety and development of its own forces.
The internal strife within the Yellow Turban Rebellion at this time undoubtedly provided him with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"In addition, the Luo Wang organization also brought back a reply from Lord Meng Zhang of Luzhou."
"Lord Meng Zhang said that although he could represent the Yellow Turban Army of Luzhou to forcibly intervene in the situation in Wuzhou and directly take over the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou, he would inevitably have some concerns about acting in light of the fact that the Yellow Turban Army of Luzhou was still under the name of the Yellow Turban Army, and he would need to put in more effort."
"Therefore, Lord Mengzhang suggests that Your Highness send troops directly from Hengzhou to take Wuzhou legitimately. This would not only avoid unnecessary trouble, but also formally bring Wuzhou under Your Highness's control."
"At that time, the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou can also fully cooperate with the Hengzhou Army and provide them with cover."
Jing Ni paused for a moment, then continued.
After listening to Jing Ni's report, Su Ye remained silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over Jing Ni, Fei Yan, and E Huang, and he had already made up his mind.
"Meng Zhang's words make sense. The Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou is now like fish on a chopping board. With the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou supporting them, we do have a chance to take Wuzhou at a relatively low cost."
He gently put down the letter in his hand, a smile playing on his lips.
"Your Highness, after the Yellow Turban Army relocated a large number of people to Wuzhou, the population is now very large. Although the government is inefficient and the people are poor, bringing them under our control would greatly benefit our development."
"Moreover, now is the perfect time for us to strike, as the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou is currently in a state of division."
Fei Yan listened quietly from the side, and seeing that Su Ye was starting to show interest in Wuzhou, she naturally chose to agree.
Although Ehuang didn't know much about military affairs, she could still sense the tense yet exciting atmosphere in the study.
"Your Highness, what do you intend to do?"
She gently tugged at Su Ye's sleeve, her eyes filled with concern and expectation.
Su Ye smiled slightly and gently patted Ehuang's hand to comfort her.
"Don't worry, I already have a plan in mind."
"Jingni, immediately inform Zhao Gao and Lan Dushou to have Luo Wang prepare intelligence for the army's expedition. Also, have all departments below prepare and be ready to act at any time."
"At the same time, send an order to Meng Zhang, instructing the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou to be on standby and ready to cooperate with our operations."
He turned to look at Jing Ni.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Jingni accepted the order, bowed respectfully, then turned and left the study, her figure quickly disappearing outside the door.
"It seems my conquest plans will have to be brought forward. I, Su Ye, am determined to seize this prize of Wuzhou!"
Su Ye withdrew his gaze, looked at Fei Yan and E Huang, and smiled.
His gaze fell once again on the letter in his hand, and he pondered the specific plan for sending troops.
Although the three prefectures under his command are not yet suitable for large-scale warfare, the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou was originally just a piece of meat on the chopping block.
Not to mention that Meng Zhang's Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou was providing cover, and one of the three remaining war kings of the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou was a traitor. There was no need to send too many troops; they could easily take over Wuzhou.
