Little did they know that Human Emperor Ye Xuan had already led 30,000 cavalry to the vicinity of Jizhou.

And they have successfully reunited with Huang Feihu.

At this time, some people in Jizhou were also filled with anxiety.

Although Marquis of Jizhou Su Hu of Ji Province was an extremely wise man, the people of Jizhou Marquis of Jizhou couldn't understand why Su Hu would be the first to rebel.

In particular, Su Daji, the most beautiful woman among the Human Clan, has become the woman of the current Human Emperor.

Jizhou could even be said to have risen in status, which made many people feel honored. After all, His Majesty is now extremely wise, and although he has a reputation for being lecherous, it is mostly just a joke.

Now that the world is at peace and the weather is favorable, they really can't understand why the ruler of Jizhou would rebel.

Then Human Emperor was furious and wanted to send an army of 500,000 to attack.

The people of Jizhou were naturally filled with fear and unease, for such turmoil and war had not occurred for countless years.

Now that Su Hu, the ruler of Jizhou, has rebelled, if they are defeated, their fate is predictable—almost certain death. Many want to escape Jizhou, but they are blocked by the Jizhou army at every turn.

Meanwhile, Su Daji, far away in Chaoge, was also frowning with worry. She had no idea why Su Hu had rebelled.

However, being extremely intelligent, she had already vaguely sensed that it must be related to Xiqi.

Some time ago, Xiqi Bo Yikao appeared in Jizhou. At that time Su Daji thought that he came because of her, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Su Hu must have been bewitched by that guy, which is why he did such a heinous thing.

Su Daji's inner thoughts were extremely complex at this moment. Although the dominant personality was that of the Nine-Tailed Fox Lord of Green Mound, Su Daji's personality also had a tremendous influence on her.

During this period, the Fox Lord of Green Mound seemed to have sensed something, so Su Daji's personality basically took the lead.

This is also why "Su Daji" has been somewhat sentimental lately.

She recalled the first time she saw the Human Emperor.

When the Human Emperor saw the many talented young men of Jizhou slandering him, he was somewhat indignant.

They composed the lines, "The courtesan, oblivious to the sorrow of a fallen nation, still sings 'The Flowers of the Rear Courtyard' across the river."

Although slightly extreme, his soaring ambition and patriotic magnanimity revealed the truth in every word, instantly shattering Su Daji's psychological defenses.

Later events proved that the rumors that His Majesty was a lecherous and cruel man were completely unfounded.

The current Human Emperor possesses the divine power to turn the Qiankun and Words Followed by Law.

Subdue the Dragon Clan to ensure favorable weather and abundant harvests.

They opened the granaries and distributed grain, showing their concern for the people of the world.

He dispatched King Wucheng to sweep across the land and eliminate the wicked.

Furthermore, some time ago, they dispatched Shang Rong to search for a large quantity of grains, fruits, vegetables, and so on.

If successfully cultivated, it will undoubtedly benefit the country and its people, and its merits will last for generations.

In addition, he also learned that the current Human Emperor had broken the shackles of Heavenly Dao and cultivated into Heavenly Immortal, and was still not afraid of the Saint of the ancient civilization.

He angrily denounced the Saint and seized the magical treasure.

As it turns out, the current Human Emperor is indeed a man of extraordinary talent.

However, his own father rebelled first; wasn't this courting death?

Having thought all this through, "Su Daji" finally couldn't hold back any longer.

It transformed directly into a streak of rainbow and flew towards Jizhou.

Meanwhile, in the dense forest thirty miles outside Jeju City, nearly 100,000 cavalrymen were resting.

This army of 100,000 consists of three parts.

Two of these units consisted of the elite cavalry of Chaoge led by Huang Feihu, and the War Elephant Cavalry, the most formidable weapon of the Yin Shang.

In addition, there were 30,000 elite cavalrymen brought by General Heng Zheng Lun.

The mounts and soldiers were resting at this time.

Huang Feihu and Zheng Lun were discussing strategies around Ye Xuan.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that with our 100,000 troops, it will be extremely difficult to capture Jizhou City."

"Not only are their numbers insufficient, but they also lack any siege equipment. The cavalry are clearly no threat whatsoever to the city. What should we do?"

His concerns were indeed not unfounded. If the enemy held the city and refused to fight, then he really would have no way to deal with them.

Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing calmly at the distant Xiongcheng, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

His first major battle after transmigrating was about to erupt, and he had to fight brilliantly without showing the slightest fear.

Otherwise, it will inevitably lead to a situation where everyone attacks us, if it really comes to that.

Chaoge is in grave danger.

The Yin Shang is in grave danger.

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes flickered slightly, and he already had a plan in mind.

"Feihu, you must remember the ways of warfare: the way of the hegemon, the way of the king, and the way of the cunning."

"The way of the king is legitimate and justified, the army of a true king. The army of a true king must follow the Heavenly Dao Will. Those who follow the right path will receive much support, while those who stray from it will receive little. By harnessing the power of the people's hearts and acting in accordance with the Great Dao, the army of the king will surely have an overwhelming and unstoppable force."

"A domineering army is an army commanded by heroes of heaven and earth. Its generals are like azure dragons, and its soldiers are like tigers and beasts. Only with its domineering style can it have the power to crush everything in its path."

"What is the art of deception? In a word, it is 'unconventional.' To achieve one's goal, one will stop at nothing—intrigue, open schemes, unconventional tactics. There are no fixed forms in warfare; only by using deception as the way can one achieve extraordinary results."

"What's wrong with cavalry attacking a city?"

"After the soldiers have rested, select 20,000 clever and resourceful men, have them abandon their armor and bury themselves on the spot, disguise themselves as ordinary civilians, and flood into Jizhou City with the civilians. At night, with the help of those inside and outside, open the city gates, and then we can strike at the heart of the enemy and capture Su Hu."

This was a strategy he had just come up with, since Jizhou was currently in complete chaos.

With Jizhou heavily guarded, entry was permitted but exit was not; perhaps this was the only weakness of Jizhou, which was as impenetrable as an iron barrel.

If some soldiers could be sneaked in, opening the city gates would be an easy task.

Upon hearing this, Huang Feihu and Zheng Jun's eyes lit up.

Your Majesty is truly a divine being; I never imagined you could conceive of such a strategy. It is truly admirable.

It was indeed an easy task for some soldiers to disguise themselves as civilians and sneak into the city.

Finding an opportunity to open the city gates is absolutely possible.

At that time, tens of thousands of cavalry could drive straight in, and under the leadership of War Elephant Cavalry, any resistance would be futile.

We can reach the mansions of the princes in Jizhou directly, and then we can capture the old traitor Su Hu alive.

However, at this moment, Wushuang, who had been in the form of a white dragon, suddenly transformed into human form and appeared beside Ye Xuan.

She gently pulled Ye Xuan's clothes up a little. She had always considered it her duty to serve the Human Emperor, and she took care of everything for Ye Xuan very well. Although it was only early autumn, there was already a chill in the air, and she didn't want His Majesty to feel the slightest bit of cold.

"Your Majesty, just now, a general appeared at the east gate of Jizhou. This general led several thousand soldiers and pushed over a thousand empty grain carts. He is presumably a grain transport officer, preparing to leave the city to transport grain to Jizhou."
