Su Hu of Jizhou Will Never Pay Homage to Shang
At this moment, Ye Xuan was also Wushuang powerful.
He was dressed in a suit of golden dragon-patterned armor, with a huge black cloak draped over his body, making him look like an unparalleled war god.
They had already vanished into the world riding on the white dragon that Wushuang had transformed into.
Su Daji considered leaving several times while deep within the palace, but ultimately suppressed the urge to do so.
Gazing into the distance at the vanished figure of the Human Emperor, a complex expression flickered in his eyes.
Nuwa, the Empress Nuwa in the Wa Huang Palace, had naturally sensed this matter, but Empress Nuwa wasn't particularly interested in these ordinary battles and didn't pay much attention to them.
The entire court of civil and military officials stood before the Chaoge City, watching as 30,000 cavalrymen disappeared on the horizon.
"Father of Shang, why didn't you stop His Human Emperor? How could you let him act so recklessly? Thirty thousand troops are far too few, especially since His Majesty is personally leading the expedition. What if something goes wrong?"
Now that His Majesty is personally leading the expedition, the leaders in Chaoge are naturally Father of Shang Rong, and Bi Gan, the uncle of King Bi Gan.
Shang Rong was speechless upon hearing Bi Gan's complaints.
Why didn't he offer any advice?
He simply couldn't persuade her otherwise.
Shang Rong sighed deeply:
"Haven't you noticed yet?"
"His Majesty is no longer the same as before. What right do we have to speak on his decisions? What room do we have to interfere?"
"We just need to follow orders and do our jobs. We don't need to worry about anything else. The current Human Emperor is a man of great talent and ambition, and no one can interfere with his decisions."
"..."
Father of Shang Rong's words were indeed to the point.
The current emperor is no longer the emperor of the past. While the previous emperors were not incompetent, they were far less powerful and domineering than the current emperor.
His Majesty has already changed without anyone realizing it; he has become extremely powerful, so powerful that there is no room for rebuttal.
As the saying goes, when the ruler is weak, the ministers are strong; when the ruler is strong, the ministers are weak.
The current Human Emperor possesses boundless domineering power and supreme majesty, making him far superior to what he once was.
Even those ancient and renowned deities were rebuked by the Human Emperor, who seized their magical treasures.
Where would they find room to interrupt?
Following this Chaoge strictly controlled information, allowing entry but not exit.
News of the Human Emperor's personal military campaigns was strictly controlled.
Under the leadership of Shang Rong and Bi Gan, the entire Chaoge was quite well-organized.
Three days passed in this tense atmosphere.
The Human Emperor and General Heng Zheng Lun, along with 30,000 elite cavalry, had joined forces with Huang Feihu's cavalry.
Huang Feihu also led 50,000 to 60,000 elite cavalry.
In addition to the fully equipped War Elephant Cavalry, and the 30,000 elite cavalry brought by Zheng Lun, the total force is close to 100,000.
When these troops are brought together, they are clearly an extremely terrifying force.
Fortunately, this cavalry force had rushed here along an extremely remote route, so many people did not notice that Chaoge had sent reinforcements, not even Su Hu of Jizhou.
Several months later, Huang Feihu saw the Human Emperor again and was clearly extremely excited.
He gave the Human Emperor a general report on what had happened during his time guarding this place.
Now we just have to wait and see if that old scoundrel Su Hu rebels.
Three days later, that old scoundrel Su Hu indeed chose to rebel.
Furthermore, thanks to the deliberate actions of that old scoundrel Su Hu, the news spread throughout the land in just one day.
The whole world was astonished, and all eight hundred feudal lords were amazed.
No one expected that Su Hu would become the first feudal lord to rebel against the imperial court.
That's incredibly audacious! No one expected Su Hu to have such courage.
In particular, Su Hu not only issued a decree to the world that he was going to rebel.
He even stood on the Jizhou City and cursed the current Human Emperor, writing a punitive edict that filled thirteen animal hides.
Furthermore, in Jizhou City, he wrote an extremely arrogant and disrespectful poem on the wall of the Meridian Gate, showing utter contempt for the emperor.
"When a ruler violates the principles of loyalty between ministers, the five constant virtues are broken!"
"The Su Hu Jizhou will never again submit to the emperor!"
The whole world was in an uproar; no one had expected that old scoundrel Su Hu would be so audacious.
They even said things like "never again to pay tribute to the Shang."
For a moment, all the feudal lords turned their attention to Chaoge, wanting to see how Chaoge would react.
Sure enough, news soon came from Chaoge.
It is said that the current Human Emperor was furious upon hearing this news.
It is said that the current Human Emperor is engaging in rampant vandalism to vent his anger.
It is said that Chaoge is recruiting a large number of soldiers, and it is said that they are going to gather 500,000 elite troops.
We will choose a day to go and suppress Su Hu of Jizhou. It is said that the Human Emperor intends to massacre the city.
Once the Jizhou City are breached, not a single chicken or dog will be spared, thus serving as a warning to others.
For a time, the eight hundred warlords of the land were in an uproar.
No one expected the current Human Emperor's reaction to be so intense.
They even considered massacring the entire city.
Upon receiving this news, Su Hu of Jizhou was even more enraged.
Standing on the Jizhou City, he loudly denounced the current Human Emperor for being extremely lustful, incompetent, and tyrannical.
For a time, the entire Yin Shang dynasty was in a state of panic.
However, no one knew that this news was actually false.
The news spread that the Human Emperor was preparing to gather an army of 500,000 to suppress the rebellion in Jizhou, and even planned to massacre the city.
This was a solution devised by Shang Rong and Bi Gan of Chaoge.
In fact, the Human Emperor had already secretly led his army to the Jizhou City.
Now, all the feudal lords in the world have set their sights on Chaoge, awaiting the arrival of the Chaoge army.
Little did they know that His Human Emperor had already led his cavalry to infiltrate Jizhou.
It must be said that Ye Xuan truly deceived all living beings in the world.
In fact, the essence of a major war is speed; what matters is gaining a time advantage.
Even if Huang Feihu's forces were assembled, they would only number a mere 100,000.
It is clearly impossible for 100,000 men to conquer an ancient and formidable city.
After all, Jizhou is a strategically important and easily defended region, difficult to attack.
His goal was to completely crush Su Hu before Su Hu could react.
If it takes even a little longer, there will definitely be big problems.
Furthermore, they did not bring much food, and the army was resting in the wilderness Jizhou City.
Once they have recovered and rested, it will be time for them to go into battle.
Meanwhile, Su Hu of Jizhou was discussing the future trend with many generals.
Su Hu was a middle-aged man with an extremely imposing appearance and a very robust physique.
His deep-set eyes, in particular, revealed him to be a wise and powerful individual.
He sat alone at the head of the table, below him were two rows of many warriors in armor.
His son, Su Quanzhong, was among them.
The soldiers gathered together, their eyes filled with indifference and murderous intent.
Now that they have rebelled, they are bound to follow their lord to the death.
Listening to the report from the scouts below, Su Hu's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I never imagined that foolish emperor would actually prepare to send an army of 500,000 to conquer us. It seems that Jizhou is about to face a fierce battle."
