Sending Troops to the North Sea
"Don't try to persuade me anymore, my mind is made up."
"As the saying goes, princes guard the nation's gates, while kings die for their country."
"Now that some feudal lords are plotting a rebellion, as the ruler of the world, it is only natural that I must personally lead the army to suppress them."
"Only in this way can my civil and military achievements be demonstrated."
"My esteemed ministers, you must each fulfill your duties and demonstrate your abilities in Chaoge to ensure its smooth operation during my Chaoge, without any mishaps. Only in this way can I travel to the North Sea with peace of mind."
Ye Xuan is now a man of his word, and it's obviously very difficult for others to stop him.
However, Shang Rong was still somewhat uneasy.
"Your Majesty, you must not act rashly."
"You are the supreme ruler of all realms, the sovereign of heaven and earth, an existence of unparalleled nobility. How can you so casually decide to personally lead an expedition?"
"His Majesty has already personally led an expedition once, demonstrating unparalleled skill and strategic acumen."
"This time, Your Majesty, you do not need to personally lead the army. You only need to stay in Chaoge and strategize."
"If Your Majesty were to personally lead another campaign, and even the slightest mishap were to occur, how could the complete annihilation of the North Sea Seventy-Two Feudal Lords possibly atone for any of the losses?"
"Your Father of Shang is right, Your Majesty must not go out casually."
"Especially at this critical moment, if His Majesty were to casually lead the army in person, wouldn't that be in line with the ideas of some hypocritical people?"
"If we were to launch an ambush on His Majesty in that desolate land of the North Sea, the losses would outweigh the gains."
Watching the group of old men earnestly trying to persuade him, Ye Xuan felt a surge of annoyance. These guys were good in every way, except they were a bit long-winded.
"Stop trying to persuade me. Continuing to nag is pointless. My mind is made up. As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war. The most important thing now is to mobilize the army and prepare provisions."
"If Chaoge's actions had been delayed even by a fraction of a second, Grand Tutor Wen of the North Sea would have been in even greater danger."
Hearing His Majesty's domineering words, which left no room for persuasion, many ministers couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
His Majesty is good in every way, except that he is too domineering, has a bad temper, is stubborn and inflexible, and cannot tolerate any advice from others.
"Court is adjourned, Your Excellencies. I hope you will each fulfill your duties and demonstrate your abilities to ensure the smooth operation of Chaoge. If any mishaps occur, I will hold you accountable after my personal campaign."
"Promise!"
Ultimately, the many civil and military officials could not resist Ye Xuan's domineering attitude and could only shake their heads and sigh as they went to make preparations.
Ye Xuan turned his gaze westward, towards the territory of Marquis Ji Chang of the West.
This is the legendary Xiqi.
From some perspectives, the Seventy-Two Feudal Lords of the wild lands of the North Sea were able to unite and rebel simultaneously was probably due to the instigation of that guy Marquis Ji Chang of the West.
He was a time traveler, so he naturally saw things very clearly and didn't need any so-called evidence.
That guy has always preferred underhanded tactics.
A cold smile crept across Ye Xuan's lips.
Since that guy Marquis Ji Chang of the West likes to play dirty tricks...
Then I'll just play along with him.
After dealing with those imitating traitors in the North Sea, the next step is to have some fun with this guy.
He wanted to see just what tricks this self-proclaimed sage had up his sleeve.
To be honest, that guy was the greatest sinner of the Human Clan.
That guy leading a rebellion isn't really a crime; after all, the victor is king and the loser is a bandit, so there's not much to say.
But that guy actually lowered himself to gain the support of all the gods and Buddhas.
He is said to be the Son of Heaven, upholding the Heavenly Dao Will.
Isn't this turning Human Clan into lackeys of the Heavenly Dao Way?
Ye Xuan revealed a cold smile.
This guy must be eliminated no matter what.
Otherwise, this guy could really lead Human Clan to become a lackey of the Heavenly Dao.
"He really is Primordial World version of Yue Buqun!"
A mocking smile appeared on Ye Xuan's lips.
His main reason for preparing to personally lead the expedition was to completely crush the North Sea Seventy-Two Feudal Lords with overwhelming force.
After all, in history, Grand Tutor Wen Zhong was held up in the North Sea for more than ten years.
It even directly crippled the strength of the Yin Shang by more than half.
From any perspective, defeating the North Sea Seventy-Two Feudal Lords in a short period of time was clearly an extremely necessary task.
Just then, Su Daji appeared beside Ye Xuan.
"Your Majesty, are you really going to lead the army in person?"
"If you are to lead the expedition in person, take Daji with you. Daji can serve you along the way."
Ye Xuan's expression turned indifferent.
"War is a man's business, what does it have to do with women?"
"You should stay in Chaoge and cultivate in seclusion. It will also help me oversee Chaoge. If any troublemakers come to cause trouble, you can deal with them."
Daji stood before Ye Xuan with her head bowed and eyes lowered.
"Your Majesty, please take me with you."
"This is a good opportunity for me to make some arrangements for my sisters in the North Sea."
"Although the North Sea is a harsh and desolate place, the power dynamics are complex and intertwined, and the sisters have yet to be able to penetrate it."
"Daji's trip to the North Sea provides a perfect opportunity to make some arrangements, and she can also serve His Majesty along the way."
Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but Su Daji spoke first.
"Your Majesty, it was the Empress Nuwa who commanded me to protect you closely, and naturally I will follow you to the death."
"Although Your Majesty's power is boundless Wushuang, this humble demon is still willing to serve Your Majesty. I may even be of assistance in resolving some of Your Majesty's troubles at times. Your Majesty, please allow me to accompany you—"
Hearing Su Daji's words, Ye Xuan reluctantly nodded.
Since Su Daji is willing to follow, then let her follow.
Anyway, there are some things Ye Xuan really can't handle.
Take clothing, for example.
Faced with the incredibly complicated clothing of the Shang Dynasty, Ye Xuan found it difficult to wear.
There were other things that Ye Xuan simply couldn't do, and having Daji by his side certainly made things easier.
"In that case, you may come along."
Upon hearing this, Daji naturally gazed at Ye Xuan with tender affection, her heart fluttering as if she were melting.
Looking at the other person's appearance, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel hot all over.
"It really is that damned vixen!"
That captivating and alluring appearance is truly almost unbearable.
Ye Xuan unconsciously licked his lips, then banished the wicked thought from his mind.
Just then, Wushuang stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, the Martial King Cheng Who Protects the Nation Huang Feihu is ready."
"He has already commanded the War Elephant Cavalry and other elite cavalry from Chaoge, totaling over 80,000, and has already set off for the North Sea."
Hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded.
I have a lot of faith in Huang Feihu's efficiency.
Huang Feihu led 80,000 cavalrymen on a journey that lasted day and night, which should temporarily alleviate Wen Zhong Grand Tutor Wen's urgent predicament.
Next, a regular army needs to be formed, since Huang Feihu's 80,000 cavalrymen are just the vanguard.
