Chapter 74 Leading the Army
"My lord?"
Seeing Su Ye standing there in the main seat for a moment in a daze, Li Jing called out softly.
"Um?"
"Oh, Pharmacist, didn't you say before that two capable generals had emerged from the new Cangzhou army?"
Coming to his senses, Su Ye looked at the identities the system had implanted for Xue Rengui and the other person, and asked Li Jing.
"Um...that's true."
Li Jing recalled that there were indeed these two figures in the newly formed Cangzhou army.
"That's good. I've heard that these two are strict in disciplining their troops and lead their army in orderly advances and retreats."
Su Ye was spouting nonsense, and it didn't matter where he heard it from.
This is also why Su Ye immediately formed a large army in Cangzhou upon his arrival.
At least Su Ye has absolute authority in this army. Since everyone is still unfamiliar with each other, the capable will rise and the mediocre will fall.
There were not many restrictions on the appointment of officers.
Unlike those armies that have been established for many years, the requirements for officers and colonels to serve are extremely high.
Therefore, it is relatively easy for Su Ye to promote someone to a higher position in this newly formed army in Cangzhou.
This way, it will be easier for the commanders summoned by Su Ye to stand out.
As long as Su Ye is willing to do so, that's fine.
After all, commanders are not as obviously capable as war gods in terms of military strength.
Once the protective aura is revealed, a war god-level expert will be highly sought after by any faction.
"Call those two over here!"
Looking at his subordinates, Su Ye made the final decision.
Inside the military tent, the lights were dim and the atmosphere was solemn.
Su Ye sat behind the central table, his gaze deep.
Commander Li Jing and his generals lined up on either side.
Outside the tent, the faint sounds of soldiers patrolling and whispering could be heard.
Xue Rengui and Tie Shiwen, who had distinguished themselves among the new Cangzhou army, were led into the tent.
They were dressed in battle robes, looking heroic and dashing.
Tie Shiwen had a resolute face and his eyes were full of arrogance; Xue Rengui, on the other hand, appeared much more calm and reserved, keeping his true abilities hidden.
"Greetings, my lord!"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on the two of them, Tie Shiwen and Xue Rengui exchanged a glance, a hint of excitement flashing in their eyes, and cupped their hands towards Su Ye at the head of the table.
"Haha, you two don't need to stand on ceremony. I've heard that you are both exceptionally brave and skilled in commanding troops."
"Now that war is imminent between Cangzhou and Qizhou, I would like to appoint a few good generals to lead a detachment deep behind enemy lines. This mission will be arduous and requires both wisdom and courage."
"Xue Rengui and Tie Shiwen, are you two willing to take on this important task?"
Su Ye glanced at the two people below him and said with a smile.
"My lord, this humble general is willing to go."
Tie Shiwen's expression brightened, and he stepped forward confidently.
"My lord, I swear to complete the mission even at the cost of my life."
After a moment's thought, Xue Rengui also clasped his hands in a salute.
"Okay. Does the pharmacist have any suggestions or additions?"
The lord nodded in satisfaction:
"My lord, I suggest that you two generals be equipped with elite light cavalry to ensure swift action."
Li Jing, sitting to the left, glanced at the two of them but didn't say anything more.
"Very good. Make sure everything goes perfectly. Generals, do you have any questions?"
Su Ye nodded in agreement and asked Tie Shiwen and Xue Rengui sitting below him.
"My lord, I have a request. I hope to be assigned spies skilled in intelligence to carry out operations within Qizhou."
After a moment's thought, Xue Rengui calmly replied.
For isolated troops deep behind enemy lines, intelligence is the most important thing; all other supplies, weapons, and assistance are meaningless.
Only accurate intelligence truly concerns the lives of this isolated army.
"Generals, rest assured, once you enter Qizhou, the intelligence of the Nine Heavens Army, the Cangzhou Army, and the Luo Net in Qizhou will be made available to you. We wish you a triumphant return."
The lord smiled slightly and said to the two men that he had sent them to Qizhou with this detachment for a great purpose, not to send them to their deaths.
"Thank you, my lord! I will certainly not fail you!"
Tie Shiwen and Xue Rengui exchanged a glance and said excitedly.
Unexpectedly, the two of them had only just joined the Cangzhou Army, and so soon they had the opportunity to lead an army on their own.
Although this was a bit dangerous, as long as we can come back alive, that will be a tremendous achievement!
"In addition, since the two generals are deep behind enemy lines, they will need a war god to accompany them."
"General Jiao Mo, General Mo Peng, would you two be willing to accompany the army deep into Qizhou?"
After arranging things for Xue Rengui and Tie Shiwen, Su Ye asked the Jiao Demon King and Peng Demon King who were standing to the side.
Su Ye spared no expense in ensuring that this detachment could achieve anything.
Xue Rengui, a near-saint-level commander with a basic command rating of 100, is not only a top-tier divine general, but also a near-saint-level commander himself.
There's also Tie Shiwen, Xue Rengui's nemesis, and two War Gods with a base weapon level of 107, Jiao Demon King and Peng Demon King.
It can be said that the strength of this flanking force is at its maximum.
That's why Su Ye, with the current surplus of War Gods, can be so arrogant.
Other forces would love to worship the God of War and use him as a trump card.
"This humble general is willing to go!" *2
The Jiao Demon King and Peng Demon King, who had initially thought there was no hope, stepped forward and exclaimed with delight.
Meanwhile, deep within the military tent, Xue Rengui stood silently in a corner, his eyes as deep as the night sky.
He knew that this deep behind enemy lines was no ordinary battle.
This is not only a contest of force, but also a test of wisdom and courage.
Xue Rengui pondered repeatedly in his mind, organizing various possible intelligence and strategies.
Deep behind enemy lines means facing unknown dangers and challenges, but it also presents an opportunity, if the results are outstanding.
This is also an opportunity to bring a decisive victory to our lord and the army.
However, in his conversations with Su Ye and other generals, Xue Rengui did not reveal much about his thoughts and plans.
A true sage does not easily reveal his inner strategies.
He silently observed everyone in the corner of the military tent, listening to their suggestions and opinions, and silently memorizing this information.
In his interactions with Tie Shiwen over the past few days, Xue Rengui was more of a listener.
He sensed Tie Shiwen's confidence and courage in his words, but he also saw his impatience and impulsiveness.
Therefore, he could see that Tie Shiwen was an excellent soldier, but in this kind of mission deep behind enemy lines, what was needed even more was calmness and patience.
"Very well, with your elite troops and capable generals, our Cangzhou army will surely be invincible."
Looking at the impressive lineup under his command, Su Ye felt incredibly proud and satisfied.
"To serve our lord!"
Seeing their lord so happy, what else could they do?
Of course we should go along with him!
They then departed to prepare for their departure.
After his conversation with Su Ye, Xue Rengui returned to his military tent alone.
He took out his pen and ink and began to draw a map on the paper, marking the enemy's troop distribution and possible routes of action.
At this moment, his thoughts flowed like water, and strategies and plans gradually took shape in his mind.
Deep behind enemy lines was no easy task, and Xue Rengui needed to devise the most perfect action plan, ensuring that every detail was carefully considered.
