Seeing Qin Ze smile, Zhang Ye raised an eyebrow, and after a moment's thought, he understood Qin Ze's meaning and said:
"Qin Ze, are you saying that five years isn't enough?"
Just as Qin Ze was about to speak, he heard Zhang Ye sigh and mutter to himself:
“That’s true. Jin Fengluan has been taking back military power for the past few years, and she still has quite a few troops under her command. We can use this time, and she can train even more troops.”
At this point, he looked up at Qin Ze and said solemnly, "But Qin Ze, don't forget that after what happened in Xijing, the people's hearts are with you!"
"With these people here, overthrowing Jin Fengluan is only a matter of time! As long as we have this determination, there will definitely be no problem!"
"Also, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Ze interrupted him.
"No need, Brother Zhang, I understand what you mean. I already have a plan in mind."
"We don't need to rely on much of the people's power; the will of the people is enough."
"Brother Zhang, to be honest, I need your help with something."
Zhang Ye was taken aback, then quickly said, "What is it? Just tell me, and I'll do everything I can to help you!"
Qin Ze stroked his chin and said in a deep voice:
"I would like to ask you to help me investigate the Battle of Fusang back then."
"If the truth can be found out, it will clear my father's name. Besides, if it really was Jin Fengluan who sent someone to plot against us, then let her be condemned by the world and have a crime that will last for eternity!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ye's expression tightened.
If Jin Fengluan really did such a thing back then, in addition to being overthrown, he would also be recorded by historians, which would be a disgrace for ten thousand years!
No matter how many years pass, they will still be scorned!
This is truly killing someone and destroying their spirit; their reputation will be ruined both before and after their death!
Of course, the most important point is to restore General Huwei's reputation. After all, hundreds of thousands of Chiyan soldiers died in that battle. Although the general public didn't say anything, there were still some people with ulterior motives who criticized it.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ye nodded solemnly, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said:
"Alright! I'll handle this!"
"Our Red Tide Alliance is spread all over the country. Although the number of people is not large, the intelligence network is dense."
"I will leave Xijing tomorrow and gather my men to begin investigating what happened back then!"
Qin Ze nodded: "Brother Zhang, the Battle of Fusang has been over for two years, and very few people probably know about it now. I think you might need to go to the East China Sea, perhaps..."
"We still need to go to Japan, after all, they were the ones who fought against Father."
Zhang Ye's gaze was resolute as he said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth!"
"There are also members of my Crimson Tide Alliance in the East China Sea!"
After speaking, Qin Ze clasped his hands in a fist and said, "That's wonderful! Thank you very much, Brother Zhang!"
Zhang Ye hurriedly said:
“I, Zhang Ye, have been working hard all these years, but I haven’t accomplished anything significant yet. If it weren’t for you leading the army here today, Xijing would have fallen.”
"Now you still have to deal with the army of Tu Yuan Kingdom. Compared with you, what I have done is nothing. Why should you thank me?"
At this point, Zhang Ye's eyes revealed a hint of worry: "Qin Ze, the Tu Yuan Kingdom has developed rapidly in recent years and has a strong army. Now you are here to fight against the Tu Yuan army."
"You mustn't be careless, you really have to be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ze chuckled, "Yes, I'll be careful."
"Although we only have 300,000 troops now, dealing with the Tu Yuan army is not a difficult task."
Zhang Ye shook his head and sighed softly:
"It's not that I want to diminish your prestige. Although the Northern Liang army was invincible and the Tu Yuan army was no match for them in today's battle, you were still fighting alone. The imperial court will not send a single soldier."
"Since the Tuyuan Kingdom dared to send troops here this time, it must have received the support of another country."
"If they continue to send more troops from their country, then... sigh."
Qin Ze patted Zhang Ye on the shoulder, "Brother Zhang, don't worry about me, I'll handle them well."
Seeing Qin Ze's confidence, Zhang Ye became even more worried.
Finally, he walked up to Qin Ze and whispered:
"Qin Ze, listen to me. I know you came to Xijing for the sake of the people."
"But if the Tu Yuan Kingdom really sends out several times your number of troops, you must not act rashly and engage them in direct combat."
"In my opinion, the best way is to build fortifications outside Xijing City. As long as they are not allowed to enter, with these 300,000 troops, they will definitely not be able to break through."
“Winter is coming, the weather is getting colder and colder, and their food supplies are not keeping up. If they cannot conquer the city after a long battle, they will definitely have to retreat.”
After saying this, Qin Ze shook his head and smiled:
"What? Brother Zhang, do you think what I said in front of everyone today was just empty slogans? Just a show to win over the people?"
Zhang Ye quickly shook his head, "Of course not! I know you've already made up your mind to make the Yuan army retreat."
"But... I'm always worried about this."
"As far as I am concerned, only you can overthrow the Jin family now, and only you can save Da Gan from this dire situation. You absolutely cannot get into trouble; you are destined for great things!"
"Personally, you are the only son of the Qin family and also my good friend. I really can't watch you perish in Xijing."
"Back then, my younger brother Zhang Jian was also full of passion when he faced Hu Ma, but in the end..."
At this point, Zhang Ye's voice choked up.
"For both public and private reasons, Qin Ze, you must live well!"
