Su Hu's Talent for Acting

He was actually quite shocked. Although he knew that Chaoge would be furious, he did not expect that the tyrannical emperor would be so angry.

It should be noted that the Yin Shang at that time was practically defenseless.

A large force has been dispatched to the North Sea to suppress the Seventy-Two Feudal Lords led by Yuan Futong.

The various passes of the Yin Shang also required many generals to guard them.

Faced with this situation, the fact that the incompetent ruler of Chaoge was still prepared to mobilize 500,000 troops to suppress him truly surprised him.

Upon hearing this, Su Hu's son, Su Quanzhong, was somewhat dismissive.

"Father, that fellow is nothing but a tyrant. Why do you glorify him while diminishing our own prestige?"

"Although an army of 500,000 sounds like a lot, I believe it consists mostly of the old, weak, sick, and disabled. The elite troops have been tied up in the North Sea by Yuan Futong and will not be able to return anytime soon. How many troops can Chaoge possibly muster?"

"As the saying goes, when soldiers come, Chaoge will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. Under the leadership of that incompetent ruler, Chaoge has already offended many gods and Buddhas. Heaven wants to destroy it, what can it do?"

"As long as we survive the first wave of suppression, I believe that Bo Yikao Xiqi will definitely give us strong support. In addition, other lords will follow suit. Father, you have nothing to worry about."

Hearing his son's spirited words, Su Hu.

He was clearly extremely satisfied with his son.

My son is exceptionally loyal Wushuang, possesses boundless strength, and is indeed a rare and valiant general.

Despite this, he still had some concerns.

"My Quanzhong son, do not be careless. When Bo Yikao Xiqi came to Jizhou, that Human Emperor also appeared in Jizhou in a mysterious way. He must have received some information."

"Therefore, that's why Daji was sent to Chaoge to temporarily appease that tyrannical ruler. Because of this, Bo Yikao of Xiqi had a major conflict with me."

"For some time now, Huang Feihu has been leading that terrifying cavalry force, lingering around Jizhou. Clearly, the incompetent emperor has not dispelled his concerns about our Jizhou."

"Starting an uprising now will not be too easy."

Hearing his father's worried words, Su Quanzhong was somewhat dismissive.

"Father, there is no need to worry. Our Jizhou is a renowned and formidable pass. Even an enemy several times larger than Jizhou might not be able to conquer it."

"Moreover, our Jizhou has a strong and well-equipped army, and my father is a renowned hero with Wushuang strategic skills. What can Chaoge do even if they send 500,000 troops?"

"Jizhou now has nearly 300,000 troops. Chaoge is sending a mere 500,000 old, weak, sick, and disabled soldiers to conquer Jizhou? That's just wishful thinking."

The many military officers were filled with admiration upon hearing the young master's words, which were so bold and spirited.

At the same time, their sense of pride also rose.

"Yes, that incompetent ruler of Chaoge is extremely foolish, and his reputation for lust has spread throughout the land. Our lord's rebellion against him is an act of justice. What can they do even if they send a large army? Our Jizhou will definitely teach Chaoge's army a lesson."

"That makes sense. Jizhou is a strategically important and formidable pass. If we defend the city, even if 500,000 or 800,000 troops come, it will be in vain."

"Once we get through their first wave of attacks, the feudal lords will see that Chaoge is too difficult to capture and will inevitably start to have other ideas. That will be our opportunity."

"----------"

In an instant, many generals uttered arrogant words, seemingly disregarding the officials of Chaoge and, even more so, the incompetent ruler of Chaoge.

Seeing this, Su Hu revealed a look of satisfaction.

With a major battle imminent, it is imperative to motivate the generals of Jizhou.

If so many generals lack the will to fight, wouldn't we be handing over Jizhou to the enemy?

However, he still needs to suppress the tide.

Having the will to fight is not enough. If we underestimate the army of Chaoge, wouldn't we suffer a great loss?

"What do you people know?"

"How dare you underestimate the army of Chaoge?"

"If you all have such a mindset of underestimating the enemy, you will likely suffer a great loss. Although the current Human Emperor is a foolish and lecherous man, Chaoge still has many powerful figures."

"Even among those who cultivate the Dao, there are many. It is said that many of them possess extremely terrifying Daoist techniques, and some are even versed in Yin and Yang, as well as various military strategies and tactics. Their strength is unfathomable, and all the feudal lords in the world attach great importance to them, daring not to show the slightest negligence."

"We must also proceed with caution. Although Jizhou is a strategically important and formidable pass, and we are well-rested and ready to fight, we must not underestimate our enemy in any way. The slightest mistake could lead to annihilation."

Upon hearing Su Hu's rebuke, the many Jizhou lowered their heads and remained silent.

However, the fighting spirit in their eyes did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, it grew even more intense.

In fact, Su Hu was not a weak person. The reason he dared to rebel against Chaoge must be because he had extraordinary abilities.

The main reason he did this was to put on an act.

In addition, he had secretly made contact with Xiqi. Bo Yikao from Xiqi came to Jizhou last time, it was mainly to discuss cooperation.

If he can weather the most difficult period, Xiqi will surely persuade the other feudal lords to rebel together.

At that time, the burden on Jizhou will be greatly reduced.

Furthermore, Bo Yikao promised that the provisions used for this rebellion would be provided by Xiqi.

Xiqi even expressed its intention to elect itself as a vassal king.

It was because of these promises that he ultimately decided to rebel.

Although there's an old saying that "the first bird to stick its head out gets shot," if that one bird isn't shot down, all the birds in the entire forest might be summoned and attack it en masse.

While carefully observing the expressions on everyone's faces, he decided to add fuel to the fire.

Once he made up his mind, he began to act, and a look of worry instantly appeared on his face.

"The current Chaoge is extremely incompetent, easily believing rumors and acting willfully. His reputation for lust has spread throughout the entire Primordial World, and he has even blasphemed the Empress Nuwa, causing divine wrath and popular resentment. This has already shaken the very foundation of the Yin Shang."

"It's all my fault for being so impulsive and sticking my neck out first. Now I've become the target of everyone's anger. What should I do?"

"As the saying goes, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Now that the army from Chaoge is about to arrive, all the other lords are watching and waiting. I'm afraid our department will soon be left fighting alone, which is really embarrassing."

"I fear that Jizhou will ultimately meet its demise. At that time, I, Su Hu of Jizhou, will die without consequence, but you generals may be implicated. If any general wishes to leave, you may depart now."

"I, Su Hu, will certainly offer you money and treasures, and will not prevent you generals from leaving."

As he spoke, a sorrowful expression appeared on his face.

He seemed extremely heartbroken.

Upon hearing this, all the military generals showed expressions of grief.

Their eyes blazed with fury as they looked at Su Hu, wishing they could die for him.

First, a tall and slender general stepped forward and knelt before Su Hu.
