Chapter 940 Gu Changqing's Helplessness
Along the way, they saw the heroic bearing of the White Horse Cavalry, the gleaming silver armor of the Imperial Guards, and the orderly discipline and high morale of the army.
All of this gave Gu Changqing a deeper understanding of Su Ye's strength.
Before long, they arrived in front of Su Ye. Zhao Yun bowed and introduced Gu Changqing and the others to Su Ye.
"So it's Grand Tutor Gu. I've long admired your name."
"Su Jinyu of the Su family greets the Grand Tutor!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ye turned his head and saw an elderly but vigorous old general standing not far away, looking at him with a complicated expression. Su Ye was taken aback, then smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
"You are too kind, Duke Zhenguo. I am on my way south to aid Qianyuan County, and I never expected to encounter your mighty army here. It is truly an honor to meet you."
Seeing this, Gu Changqing withdrew his gaze and smiled, returning the greeting with a cupped hand.
"Grand Tutor, you flatter us. Our purpose in coming to Qianzhou is to lend a helping hand to the Great Qian Dynasty."
"Rest assured, Grand Tutor, Jin Yu's elite troops in Hengzhou will do their utmost to resist the Yellow Turban rebels!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ye smiled and nodded, then said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing felt somewhat relieved. With Su Ye's 100,000-strong army under his command, the chances of the Great Qian Dynasty defeating the Yellow Turban Army had undoubtedly increased.
After exchanging pleasantries, Su Ye, now back to her senses, looked at Gu Changqing with eyes full of sincere respect—a respect that was not feigned but came from the bottom of her heart.
It should be noted that Gu Changqing, a veteran general who served three dynasties, was the pillar of the Great Qian Dynasty for decades. His prestige and achievements are worthy of being engraved in the annals of the entire Great Qian Dynasty!
Even Su Ye's own father, the current King Yun, Su Kai, can only be considered a junior in front of Gu Changqing. In fact, Su Kai once followed the King of the Northern Frontier and listened to the art of war under Gu Changqing!
"Grand Tutor, you are a role model in my heart. I have heard of your heroic deeds since I was a child and have long admired you."
"It is truly an honor for this junior to meet you in person today!"
Su Ye looked at Gu Changqing, whose expression had relaxed somewhat, and said with a smile, her tone full of respect, like a fanatical fan meeting their idol.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Su Ye was so young yet held such a high position, yet he was able to be so humble. No wonder he was able to rise to power and become a regional overlord in just a few years.
However, although he had doubts about Su Ye's purpose in going south this time, and felt that things were probably not that simple, just to support Qiandu and resist the Yellow Turban Army, he did not show any emotion on his face.
"You are too kind, Duke Zhenguo. I am but a mere military man. What merit do I have to deserve such high regard from you?"
"The Duke of Zhenguo is young and promising, with great talent and ambition. I truly admire him greatly!"
Gu Changqing stroked his beard and smiled, his tone somewhat polite, but a barely perceptible hint of probing flashed in his eyes.
The two chatted back and forth, complimenting each other, and the scene was quite harmonious.
Su Ye understood that although Gu Changqing, this veteran general, appeared kind and approachable on the surface, he was as clear-headed as a mirror and saw through everything.
The purpose of his visit to Qianzhou had probably already been guessed by the shrewd and experienced Gu Changqing.
However, Su Ye didn't care. After all, he came here for the safety of the Great Qian Dynasty and would do his best to drive away the hundreds of thousands of ferocious Yellow Turban Army soldiers from Luzhou.
Although some personal selfishness may have been involved, in this chaotic world, who can be completely selfless?
Therefore, although Gu Changqing had many doubts in his heart, he always maintained a calm and composed expression.
At least for now, Su Ye's army of 100,000 is indeed a lifeline for the Great Qian Dynasty!
Whatever Su Ye's true purpose may be, at least in this perilous moment, they are able to join forces to fight against the Yellow Turban Army and fight for a glimmer of hope for the Great Qian Dynasty.
"Lord Zhenguo, my journey south this time is undertaken with the weighty responsibility of ensuring the safety of the Great Qian Dynasty."
"The Yellow Turban Army is now advancing with unstoppable momentum, and Qiandu is in grave danger. I am extremely anxious."
"Fortunately, the Duke of Zhenguo personally led troops to provide support, which finally gave me some confidence."
Gu Changqing slowly exhaled, looked at Su Ye who was smiling in front of him, and said in a deep voice.
"Grand Tutor, you flatter us. As citizens of the Great Qian Dynasty, it is our duty to serve the imperial court."
"Please rest assured, Grand Tutor, the Hengzhou army under Jin Yu's command will go all out to fight the Yellow Turban Army to the death and defend the safety of the Great Qian Dynasty!"
Su Ye listened to Gu Changqing's heavy tone, seemingly oblivious to it, and replied with a smile.
The two exchanged a smile, both understanding each other's intentions.
Although Gu Changqing was wary of Su Ye, at this critical moment, he had no choice but to join forces with Su Ye to fight against the threat of the Yellow Turban Army.

Su Ye understood Gu Changqing's concerns, but he didn't care at all.
At the same time, Gu Wu, one of the few war god-level experts currently under Gu Changqing's command, stood as straight as a pine tree, but his gaze involuntarily shifted away from Su Ye in front of him and instead turned to the two generals beside Su Ye—the valiant Zhu Que in red robes and armor, and the seemingly gentle Kong Xuan dressed as a scholar.
Needless to say, Gu Wu and even Gu Changqing already knew about Zhuque and were aware of the true strength of this seemingly frail red-robed female general beside the Duke of Zhenguo. She was ranked seventh on the World's Glory Ranking: Zhuque, the Radiant One!
His fame had long spread throughout the world with his nickname "Blazing Glory". Zhuque, who can be called the most outstanding archer in the world, has been firmly in the seventh place of the world's power ranking since the beginning. His strength has long been recognized by the world.
The seventh spot on the World's Popularity Ranking is not only an honor, but also the best proof of her strength.
Even a seasoned general like Gu Wu held Zhu Que in awe, knowing full well that beneath that red robe lay a terrifying power capable of turning the tide of battle.
However, what truly shocked Gu Wuxin at this moment was not Zhuque's obvious power, but the seemingly ordinary Kong Xuan standing beside her.
At this moment, Kong Xuan was dressed in the attire of a Confucian scholar, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and his demeanor exuded an extraordinary and refined air. However, unless one experienced it firsthand, it would be hard to imagine that such a refined and cultured scholar could radiate such a profound and vast aura.
At this moment, Gu Wu sensed that Kong Xuan's aura was like a deep-sea undercurrent, seemingly calm on the surface but as deep and unfathomable as the ocean, causing a storm to surge in Gu Wu's heart.
