Linzi City.
Wang Lie hurriedly entered the main hall with a long knife in hand, exclaiming, "Something big has happened!"
"What is it? Why are you so flustered?" Charming Yama, standing to one side of the hall, replied in a deep voice. She had arrived at Linzi with Celestial Wave Commander and others, becoming a commander of the Linzi guard army. At this moment, she was also considered Ye Yang's right-hand person, primarily serving as a close attendant. After all, having a loyal Starry Sky Sixth Level expert as a bodyguard was quite a royal treatment.
Ye Yang was examining the terrain on the sand table and frowned, "What is it, Wang Lie?"
Wang Lie said solemnly, "Your Highness, we just recaptured Xue County, but last night it was suddenly attacked and taken back by Xiang Yu. Right now, Xiang Yu is leading seventy thousand elite troops at the gates of Jibei Commandery, claiming he will flatten this city in three days and conquer all of Qi State within a month!"
Ye Yang was taken aback, "How could Xiang Yu be so arrogant? Does he think there are no defenders left in Qi State?"
Wang Lie replied, "We have formed a pincer attack against Peng City with Wei Kingdom, so Xiang Yu is determined to eliminate Qi State first, then deal with Wei Kingdom, and after consolidating his forces, confront Liu Bang's army."
Ye Yang nodded, "Understood."
"Additionally, Liu Bang's general Han Xin sent a secret letter!"
"Bring it here!"
"Yes!"
Ye Yang opened the golden cloth from the letter, which clearly stated: Young General Han Xin, wishes to meet with Qi King for a hunt in the Chu Region. While Qi King attacks Eastern Sea County, I will attack Changsha County. If we encircle from both sides, Xiang Yu will surely be unable to defend against both fronts. I hope Qi King considers this. Regardless of whether Qi King takes action or not, on the fifteenth of this month, I will lead one hundred thousand soldiers to attack Changsha.
...
Wang Lie: "My lord, what news do you have?"
Ye Yang handed over the letter. After reading it, Wang Lie immediately clenched his fists and laughed heartily, "That kid Han Xin is indeed a military genius. With such a pincer attack, even if Xiang Yu had three heads and six arms, he would be stretched thin. He will have to give up either Eastern Sea County or Changsha County. Let's see how he handles it!"
Ye Yang smiled, "If it were that simple, he wouldn't be called a genius. He has already anticipated that Xiang Yu would act against Qi State. At this moment, while Xiang Yu is attacking Jibei Commandery, we must tackle this tough nut. However, while we are engaged here, Han Xin is easily taking cities far away in Changsha County. No matter how we calculate it, we have already lost."
"Then, what should we do?"
"Go to Jibei Commandery. I want to meet Xiang Yu and discuss a business deal with him!"
Wang Lie was astonished. "My lord wants to discuss business with Xiang Yu? This..."
"Just follow me. Immediately gather the troops; thirty thousand Vermilion Bird Knights will suffice!" Ye Yang glanced around and then said to Charming Yama, "You will command ten thousand Ghost Soldiers to stand by."
Charming Yama clasped his fists and smiled, "I will obey the master's orders!"
Wang Lie's gaze lingered on Charming Yama for a moment longer, and Ye Yang immediately laughed, "Wang Lie, Charming Yama is so ethereal in both form and demeanor, isn't he?"
"Ah, Your Highness, this..." Wang Lie, despite being battle-hardened, felt his face flush.
Ye Yang said, "From now on, you will be working together. It might be good for you to get to know her better. Charming Yama, this is Wang Lie, one of the commanders of the Three Armies. You two should get acquainted."
Charming Yama looked at Wang Lie with a playful smile and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Kid, do you have a crush on me?"
Wang Lie stammered, "Miss, why would you say such a thing?"
Ye Yang interjected, "Pah! If you like her, just admit it. How can a grown man be so timid?"
Wang Lie could only nod.
Charming Yama turned gracefully, her cloak swaying and revealing her alluring figure. She looked at Wang Lie and teased, "Although I, Charming Yama, am not exactly a virtuous woman, my future man must be stronger than me and also have some looks. So, Wang Lie, what do you think?"
Wang Lie was bewildered and turned to look at Ye Yang; his expression clearly showed that he felt publicly rejected.
Ye Yang was deeply frustrated: "Strength can be cultivated, but looks... Actually, Charming Yama, Wang Lie is quite decent-looking too, isn't he?"
Charming Yama chuckled lightly, "Master, originally I would marry whoever you choose, but to be honest, the only man in the world who catches my eye right now is you..."
"Stop!"
Ye Yang interrupted Charming Yama, saying, "We'll talk about this later. Wang Lie, focus on your training; there will be opportunities. Let's go gather our troops. We need to prepare supplies and head to Jibei Commandery to see just how strong Xiang Yu has become after a year!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
...
Linzi City is only about three hundred miles from Jibei Commandery, which is why Ye Yang must rush to support Jibei Commandery. If the County City of Jibei Commandery falls to Xiang Yu, then Linzi will be under great threat. For Ye Yang, Linzi City is the stronghold that must be protected at all costs.
The vast army of the Vermilion Bird Knight galloped across the plains, with Ye Yang in green military attire leading the charge. Following closely were Wang Lie and Charming Yama, both clad in armor. In the sky, Yun Xiaoxi and Zeng Xuan floated above, concerned for Ye Yang. After all, Xiang Yu has ascended to godhood and is incredibly powerful, commanding numerous Lesser Deities, along with the assistance of the Mid-Level Deity Decay Light. The battle at Jibei Commandery does not look promising for Ye Yang.
...
Thirty thousand iron hooves of the Vermilion Bird Knight thundered outside the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, arriving at the outskirts of the County City of Jibei Commandery by evening. The area around the city showed signs of fierce battles, with traces of fire and axe marks everywhere. There were even many corpses of Chu Army Soldiers still lying uncollected.
"Who goes there?"
A voice shouted from atop the city walls, and immediately a row of Dragon Armored Warriors stood up with their longbows drawn. The strings of their bows glimmered with cold light from the Azure Dawn Arrows. The one who shouted was none other than Zhao Yun.
With a wave of his hand, the Haotian Sword materialized from within his palm as Ye Yang smiled slightly and said, "Zhao Yun, it's been a while!"
Zhao Yun immediately grinned back, "So it's you, Young Master! I heard countless hoofbeats; does that mean our reinforcements have arrived?"
"Yes, thirty thousand Vermilion Bird Knights!"
"That's great!" Zhao Yun clenched his fist and laughed, "After an hour of relentless assault from Xiang Yu, he finally retreated. He initially tried to breach our walls using attacks from his Lesser Deities, but we managed to shoot them back with our Azure Dawn Arrows. One of those Lesser Deities even had its throat pierced by an arrow!"
Ye Yang rode to the city and said, "They are mostly not dead. Open the city gates and let the Vermilion Bird Knight enter. You take the Starry Sky Level Dragon Armored Warriors with me to investigate the Chu Army's strengths and weaknesses. By the way, how many Starry Sky Level Dragon Armored Warriors do we have now?"
Zhao Yun smiled and replied, "Elder Qingxuan has refined the essence from the Dragon Pool to help the Hidden Dragon Hall disciples cultivate. In just this past year, we have gained 397 disciples who have entered the Stellar Realm, with 150 of them here in Jibei Commandery. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to hold the city against the attacks of six Lesser Deities."
Ye Yang nodded, "Hmm!"
...
The warhorse let out a long neigh as the iron gate rumbled open. At the same time, Ye Yang saw that on the other side of Jibei Commandery County City, a large section of the city wall had collapsed, creating a jagged gap that looked like it had been cleaved by an axe. Clearly, this was caused by an attack from a Lesser Deity. Amidst the chaos of the city, countless injured soldiers were groaning in pain. A war involving Lesser Deities was indeed brutal; fortunately, with the balance provided by the Azure Dawn Arrow, even a Divine-level Expert could not easily turn the tide.
Ye Yang brought along Yun Xiaoxi, Zeng Xuan, Zhang Tianhe, Wang Lie, Zhao Yun, and others, commanding over a hundred Dragon Armored Warriors armed with Longbows as they galloped towards the Chu Army camp.
From a distance, Zhao Yun reined in his warhorse and said, "Young Master, it's right ahead. The Chu Army's main camp is guarded by cold archers; we need to be cautious!"
Ye Yang raised his Haotian Sword and said, "You all stay here and wait; I will go meet Xiang Yu alone!"
"Understood!"
