That night, the rain fell intermittently.
It was a shower, like a flower thief sneaking into a secluded boudoir at night, arriving in haste and leaving in a hurry, leaving only mud and puddles behind.
Despite the weather conditions, Ye Qiu's 100,000-strong Shenzhou army did not stop and continued to approach Qinzhou.
"Brother Ye, we should be able to reach Qinzhou City in another day. Do you think the rebel forces in Qinzhou City might have already laid a trap for us?"
Wang Xiaoyu turned her head and looked at Ye Qiu.
The two were sitting very close together in the back of the same car.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, "You're trying to remind me not to underestimate my opponent and to prepare early, right?"
“This…” Wang Xiaoyu blushed, not expecting Ye Qiu to see through her thoughts.
"What are your thoughts, Little Fish?" Ye Qiu asked.
"I know absolutely nothing about military operations, so I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense," Wang Xiaoyu said.
"Just say what I'm told, treat it as casual conversation. If you're right, I'll accept it; if you're wrong, I won't blame you, okay?"
“In that case, of course it is possible. I will tell you.” Wang Xiaoyu said, “Brother Ye, during this period you have pacified the capital and destroyed the Sword Dao Sect. Along the way, you have also swept away many extraordinary forces.”
Therefore, the rebel forces in Qinzhou at this time must be on high alert, and they have ample time to prepare for battle.
Therefore, I think there will be a fierce battle ahead, and there may be many casualties.
But I think there might be other ways we can try to avoid large-scale casualties.
"Tell me, what's your plan?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
Wang Xiaoyu pondered for a few seconds before saying, "Brother Ye, you have a high reputation now. If you just raise your arm and call, countless young people in Qinzhou will probably be willing to respond. In that case, we might not even need to attack the city. The city will erupt in response. At that time, wouldn't it be easy for us to storm the city?"
“The idea is good, and if implemented, it will certainly be very effective, but I absolutely cannot do it,” Ye Qiu said softly.
"Why?" Wang Xiaoyu asked, puzzled.
Ye Qiu said, "Little Fish, you are very smart, but you only consider the result and not the process."
If I were to do that and cause a major battle to break out in the city, the number of casualties would be unimaginable.
Moreover, countless innocent people will be killed, rivers of blood will flow. Even if we successfully suppress Qin Prefecture, what good will it do? How many hearts will be chilled by this war?
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Xiaoyu's face suddenly turned several shades paler.
Indeed, if that were to be done, a great battle would break out in the city, resulting in immense casualties.
"Brother Ye, I didn't think this through. I'm sorry."
Wang Xiaoyu said nervously.
"Don't apologize. We were just chatting, it's nothing. Xiaoyu, you need to learn to think about solutions from the perspective of ordinary people. You are a promising talent, and Brother Ye has high hopes for you."
Ye Qiu smiled and patted Wang Xiaoyu's shoulder.
Wang Xiaoyu was so excited that she didn't know what to do, and her face turned bright red.
"Who goes there? Make way!"
Just then, He Hu's loud roar came from outside.
He Hu was handpicked by Ye Qiu to serve as the commander of this 100,000-strong Shenzhou army.
Ye Qiu rolled down the car window and leaned out to look ahead.
Just then, a golden arrow shot out at lightning speed, aiming precisely at Ye Qiu's crown.
Ye Qiu extended two fingers and easily caught the golden arrow.
The golden arrow exploded in Ye Qiu's hand, turning into scattered golden light that illuminated Ye Qiu's cold expression.
He Hu happened to see this scene.
He Hu turned pale with fright and hurriedly shouted, "Everyone on alert! There's an enemy attack! Protect Emperor Xia!"
Ye Qiu opened the door and got out of the car, walking to the front.
A quick glance revealed over a hundred people standing ahead, all of them cultivators.
"Emperor Xia, there are ambushes, but they don't look like well-trained soldiers. They seem to be from some sect. What should we do?"
He Hu whispered.
"We're getting closer and closer to Qinzhou City. It's normal to have ambushes. I'm not interested in knowing who they are. Just kill them. A hundred thousand men can sweep through and wipe them all out," Ye Qiu said calmly.
"yes."
He Hu took a deep breath and shouted excitedly, "The Xia Emperor has ordered us to sweep through and kill them all!"
"kill."
One hundred thousand soldiers of the Divine Land Army were all charging forward.
Ye Qiu also moved, his figure like an invisible shadow, swiftly traversing the night.
When Ye Qiu returned to the original spot, the leader of the ambush group had already been easily killed by Ye Qiu.
This greatly boosted morale, and the 100,000-strong Shenzhou army surged forward with unstoppable momentum, eager to advance...
In less than five minutes, all the ambushers were killed, leaving no survivors.
"Emperor Xia, the ambush was carried out by more than three hundred people, and they have all been killed."
He Hu returned and reported.
"Continue on your way. Also, we are now approaching Qin Prefecture, so send a few more people ahead to scout the way."
"yes."
In the dead of night, amidst intermittent rain, the army continued its march.
In Qin Prefecture, the "King of Qin" soon heard a report from his subordinates.
"Your Majesty, the Fire King Sect ambushed Ye Qiu and wiped out the entire army."
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin was not surprised and asked calmly, "What are the enemy's casualties? There should be at least one or two thousand dead, right?"
