"I think there should be some movement from Jue'er's side. Let's go back and take a look."

Yu Lan nodded and smiled.

"My lord, if Yu Lan were to die, would you also avenge Yu Lan in this way?"

As Su Cheng was about to fly on his sword, he heard Yu Lan's silly question and answered it casually.

"Won't."

"Oh." Seeing Yu Lan's lips pursed slightly and her eyes dimming considerably, she seemed quite disappointed.

Su Cheng smiled, patted Yu Lan's head, and explained.

"I mean Yu Lan won't die."

Upon hearing this, Yu Lan felt much relieved and said that her husband was a good man worthy of her trust!

"What if, in case?"

"There's no 'what if'."

She just wanted to hear her husband say that he would avenge her!

Even though she knew her husband would protect her, she still wanted to hear his promise in person.

Yu Lan pouted, looking sullen.

"Even dragons can stumble, and horses can stumble. If that day ever comes, what will my husband do?"

"Husband, please eat it while it's hot."

"While it's hot? What do you mean, 'while it's hot'?"

Su Cheng smiled and simply replied that it was nothing.

Yu Lan thought about this for a long time before she finally understood it...

By the time they figured it out, the two had already ridden their horses to the central camp of the General of the North.

"You bad husband! Now I understand! Even at that time, you were still thinking about intimacy!"

Su Cheng laughed heartily, finding Yu Lan quite adorable in many ways!

Letting the young married woman playfully punch his chest with her little pink fists, Su Cheng rubbed his head, then dismounted and carried the young woman down.

Before long, Dongfang Jue and his soldiers came out to greet them. After bowing, he quickly told Su Cheng about what had happened in the past two days.

"Master Su was gone for two days and nights. Following Master Su's instructions, Jue'er had the soldiers ambush outside the city and captured dozens of scouts, all dressed as civilians, in an attempt to gather intelligence."

Su Cheng smiled and casually placed his hand on Dongfang Jue's head, rubbing it as he spoke.

"Even if you stand still with your eyes covered, it's hard for most people not to feel fear."

"Moreover, he is a general on the front lines. With Jue'er's challenge the other day, General Luo An is like standing on a tightrope with his eyes closed. I don't think he can last long."

"Jue'er did very well. Now all she needs to do is..."

As he spoke... Su Cheng noticed that the expressions of the generals and soldiers around him were a little strange, and after taking a closer look...

Only then did I realize that my hand was on the General of the North's head, and I had been rubbing it for a while.

Su Cheng quickly withdrew his hand, looking guilty. This was not a modern society; after all, men and women were different, and Jue'er was still the General of Zhenbei.

Su Cheng's actions were clearly somewhat presumptuous...

"I'm sorry, Jue'er, it was unintentional, please don't take it to heart."

Dongfang Jue didn't mind. If Sect Leader Su wanted to pat her head, so be it. Jue'er just wanted to break through the city as soon as possible.

Blushing, she said, "It's alright, Sect Leader Su just hit the nail on the head..."

Dongfang Jue couldn't understand Ye Qinghan's expression, which seemed to be one of extreme pleasure, as if he had been drugged...

To be honest, Dongfang Jue didn't have any particularly special feelings, except for shyness and a sense of security.

However, seeing that Sect Leader Su subconsciously treated her as one of her own, without any reservations, made her somewhat happy.

"Although I have glimpsed the secrets of heaven, I may not know the people of this world. If General Luo An goes in person, Jue'er will surely capture him."

"But in my opinion, General Luo An probably won't go in person. At that time, Jue'er only needs to lead the army to attack and kill, but be sure to leave a way out and let the remnants escape back to the city."

When Su Cheng spoke, he also sized up the people in Dongfang Jue's army.

His gaze swept over the surrounding soldiers, and he was greatly surprised!

These men were all loyal and brave, many of whom were his father's former subordinates, but...

They were all loyal ministers!

Su Cheng thought to himself, could this also be because he changed the course of the world?

Logically speaking, the treacherous ministers who should have been in the army at this moment have all disappeared, and in their place are all capable ministers who are skilled in both strategy and martial arts!

Some were rescued by Dongfang Jue from prison, some were promoted all the way up, and some were even obtained by begging from the imperial court.

It must be said that, compared to his father, Dongfang Jue truly achieved the goal of being close to virtuous officials and keeping away from petty people.

With such actions, these subordinates will surely be even more grateful to Dongfang Jue! If so, with capable ministers assisting him, how could Dongfang Jue not rule the world?

But in reality, Dongfang Jue was able to see everyone's information because of the system.

Otherwise, how can the naked eye distinguish between loyalty and treachery?

"If that's the case, wouldn't we be missing a golden opportunity?"

However, this also led to a drawback: although Dongfang Jue had the system's assistance, he was still quite young.

Several of the strategists understood Su Cheng's plan, but Dongfang Jue clearly hadn't grasped it yet.

"Sect Leader Su's ingenious plan aims to break through the city. Once the city is broken through, the outcome is not a matter of immediate success or failure. If it weren't for that scoundrel Luo An's arrival, even if the enemy army were completely wiped out, it would be difficult to change the current situation. I'm afraid that if Luo An heard about this, he would be even more determined to hold out and not come out, and there would be no chance for peace talks."

"I dare to guess that Master Su's intention is mostly to isolate that rebel and force him to open the city gates and surrender."

The person who spoke was a commoner strategist, thin in build, about forty years old, and his appearance could be summed up in two words: poor and destitute.

Su Cheng smiled, guessing that this person was most likely from the Zou family of Anyang. Now that he saw it, meeting Jue'er was like meeting a wise ruler.

When Su Cheng recognized the person who spoke, he realized that the man was only in his early thirties. However, he had lived a life of poverty and found it difficult to be an official, which was why he was thin and looked a little old.
