Anyone would think that three thousand versus Dayan's Langtou Village, which had repeatedly suppressed bandits without success, was fantastic.
Even though Su Ye looked confident in the court, it still made people a little worried.
"Prime Minister Su is still too impulsive. Langtou Village is a tough nut to crack!"
"Three thousand soldiers and horses, if you say they are suppressing bandits, it is better to say they are going to die!"
"Dayan cannot bear the pain of losing the war."
"I think Prime Minister Su might be able to create another miracle!"
Many officials were talking about it, and most of them felt that Su Ye would definitely die if he left.
However, Su Ye still maintained a confident demeanor, making it difficult to guess what he was really thinking.
Although Yan Lichu did not directly object in the court.
But after retiring from the court, even Yan Lichu privately asked Su Ye to stay and decided to persuade him:
"Prime Minister Su, you are an indispensable talent for our country. There is no need to risk your life or death just to gain momentum."
When Su Ye heard this, a hint of depth flashed in his eyes, he smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, the art of war is to use the right combination to win by surprise. I will definitely return safely."
Yan Lichu still advised:
"Prime Minister Su, I can allow you to have more troops and take down Langtou Village in one fell swoop."
Su Ye shook his head firmly:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Three thousand is enough."
Yan Lichu frowned. She knew that Su Ye's character was difficult to change once he decided something.
So, she could only sigh and said:
"Then you must be careful. I am waiting for your triumphant return."
Su Ye nodded, turned and left.
His figure looked lonely and determined, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
From the Yanchu War to land reform.
Su Ye has proven that his role in Dayan is far greater than the annihilation of Langtou Village.
Yan Lichu couldn't possibly watch him die in vain.
She immediately called her own soldiers.
"Protect Su Ye with all our strength and ensure his safety."
Regardless of whether the suppression of the bandits was successful or not, Yan Lichu absolutely did not want to see anything happen to Su Ye.
Su Ye quickly gathered three thousand elites.
At the same time, he sent spies to inquire about the details of Langtou Village in order to formulate targeted strategies.
Langtou Village is entrenched in the border area, occupying the village and robbing business travelers without scruples.
Their methods are cruel and the people live in dire straits.
This time, Su Ye wants to wipe out this evil force and give the people a peaceful life.
However, not everyone is looking forward to Su Ye's triumphant return.
Assistant Ministers Chen Mu and Wei Rufeng had already planned a plot to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Before leaving, Chen Mu let his forces spread the news throughout Dayan.
It was announced that Su Ye would challenge Langtou Village with three thousand soldiers and horses!
In an instant, the entire Dayan learned the news.
Including the main position of Langtou Village - Langya Mountain.
They seized this opportunity and prepared to teach Su Ye a lesson.
Inside Langya Mountain.
The leaders of Langtou Village gathered together to discuss how to deal with this sudden challenge.
"Hahaha, this arrogant man dares to lead three thousand soldiers and horses alone to invade our Langtou Village. He is really looking for death!"
The big leader Wu Bao slapped the table and laughed, his face full of ridicule.
"This Su Ye can stand out in the Great Yanchao Hall, he must be outstanding. We cannot take it lightly."
The second leader, Zhao Yan, looked serious and reminded.
"Hmph, even if he comes prepared, how can he resist the 20,000 brothers from my Langtou Village?"
Wu Bao dismissed it.
At this time, a spy hurried into Langya Mountain and reported:
"Report, reject the message sent by the Lord of Beicheng!"
"Send a message? Bring it in!" A fierce light flashed in Wu Bao's eyes.
Jubeicheng is the nearest city of Yan State next to Langya Mountain.
However, what no one else knows is this.
The reason why Langtou Village can develop and grow like this is because it refuses the secret support of the Lord of Beicheng.
The people sent by the city lord immediately expressed their intention to come.
"Our adults have said that as long as you get rid of Su Ye, as long as you can get rid of him, we will never send troops to suppress bandits in the future."
It turns out that the previous campaigns sent by the imperial court to suppress the bandits failed, and it was the lord of Jubei City and Langtou Village who had been secretly colluding!
In the tent, a guard sneaked out and revealed his face, it was Mo Yi!
The information that the lords of Langtou Village and Jubei City were colluding with each other, and that they were actually powerful but internally corrupt, soon reached Su Ye's ears.
Facing Chen Mu's report, the leaders of Langtou Village knew that this was a rare opportunity.
If Su Ye can be eliminated, it will not only damage Dayan's morale, but also stabilize his position on the border.
"This is a matter of great benefit and no harm." Zhao Yan said in a deep voice.
"We just need to be ready and wait for Su Ye to come."
"When the time comes, our Langtou Village will become the largest village in Dayan."
The big leader Wu Bao laughed and looked confident.
Zhao Yanze said more calmly:
"Since the lord of Jubei City said that they can cooperate with our actions, let's cooperate inside and outside."
Wu Bao laughed and nodded:
"My second brother still has more ideas."
As a result, Langtou Village reached an agreement with the lord of Jubei City.
When Su Ye is suppressing the bandits, the internal forces in Jubeicheng will cooperate with Langtou Village to implement a strategy of combining internal and external forces.
Li Fu, the third leader of Langtou Village, led his troops to station outside Jubei City, closely monitoring Su Ye's movements.
"Send the order, everyone prepares for battle!"
"At that time, we will attack Jubeicheng at night and wipe out all three thousand troops. Let them know the consequences of violating Langtou Village!"
The lord of Jubei City secretly mobilized his troops and waited for Su Ye to fall into the trap.
Su Ye led three thousand elites, marching straight towards Langya Mountain where Langtou Village is located.
At the same time, he continued to receive intelligence from spies and gained a deeper understanding of the strength of Langtou Village.
Although Langtou Village has a large number of people, it is not monolithic.
There are constant internal factional disputes and a state of disunity.
After learning the news, Su Ye knew that this was the key to defeating Langtou Village.
On the other hand, Chen Mu and Wei Rufeng secretly rejoiced when they learned that Su Ye had started taking action.
They had already secretly contacted Langtou Village, trying to use Langtou Village to get rid of Su Ye.
However, they did not realize that their every move was under the observation of the intelligence station.
Su Ye had already understood their conspiracy and had prepared a countermeasure.
Finally, after several days of rapid march.
Su Ye led three thousand elites to Jubei City on the border of Yan State.
The terrain here is difficult and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Under Su Ye's command, three thousand elites were like a sharp sword, thrusting straight into the heart of Langtou Village.
The forces within the city that rejected the North City Lord were secretly preparing, waiting for Su Ye to step into the trap.
The Langtou Village outside the city also began to nervously deploy troops to prepare for Su Ye's challenge.
Su Ye sent a group of elites to secretly sneak into Jubei City to inquire about the specific situation in the city.
The battle is about to break out.
