Chapter 13 Daoyan's Strategy
The next day, Su Ye was in the Prince's courtyard of Prince Yun's Mansion.

Su Ye sat opposite his nominal teacher, Yao Guangxiao.

Su Ye raised the white porcelain teacup in his hand and asked Yao Guangxiao, "The world is about to be in chaos, I wonder if you have any advice for me."

Yao Guangxiao's expression turned more serious when he heard this, ever since he decided to come all the way here to be Su Ye's teacher.

The moment I have been waiting for has finally arrived!

I, a contemporary hero who was once praised by Confucianism as a talent for assisting the world, came to Jiuxiao Palace from afar.

Isn’t it when you first entered the world, you looked up and saw a shining Purple Emperor Star slowly rising from the east.

From then on, everything seemed destined.

That talented man who could help the world rejected without hesitation the numerous forces that came to pay their respects and invite him to come out into the world. He resolutely came to Jiuxiao City and became a literacy teacher for a young child.

This lasted for more than ten years!

Now, that naive child has grown up and started to show his fangs to the world.

The sleeping dragon is awakened, and its roar shakes thousands of mountains!

This means that it is time for me to officially come out.

Thinking this way, this was the first time he had offered advice to the Lord after worshipping Him, and he had to give his Lord a perfect answer to prove his ability.

"Sir, as far as I know, the grasslands above the northern border have suffered heavy losses of cattle and sheep in recent years due to winter snowstorms, making it difficult for tribes to survive, so small groups of troops have been constantly invading the border. Is that true or not?"

"It's true."

"I wonder what the teacher means?"

Su Ye was a little curious because the intelligence sent by Luowang always included information about alien races in the northern border prairie.

But currently the intruders are only small groups of troops. Although the three dynasties among the five dynasties that border the foreign races in the northern border prairie have undercurrents within them.

But their influence in the northern border was not affected.

At present, there is a consensus among everyone that it is okay to fight among ourselves behind closed doors.

But the army of the Beiyu alien race must not move lightly.

Even this time when the three kings of different surnames secretly assisted the Taiping Sect, the Night King of the Northern Frontier was just a figurehead.

Therefore, in this Taiping Cult incident, the two kings of different surnames, the Yun Palace in the east and the Yan Palace in the west, tacitly agreed not to bring the Night King of the Northern Frontier to play together.

Therefore, although the foreign tribes on the prairie suffered heavy losses due to the winter snow disaster, they did not invade on a large scale.

The foreign tribes on the prairie were never afraid of the armies of the three dynasties guarding the northern border.

What they have always been afraid of are the three dynasties that have been providing them with blood transfusions behind these armies.

As civil strife gradually arose in these three dynasties, the foreign races on the prairie would no longer be so peaceful.

Thinking of this, Su Ye frowned.

Yao Guangxiao's eyes gleamed, "According to Daoyan, not only the Xiongnu in the north of Cangzhou, but almost the entire grassland has been affected by the disaster. Therefore, not only the Xiongnu, but also the Wuhuan, Xianbei, Jurchen, Khitan, Manchu, and even some small tribes, more or less want to rely on going south to survive the crisis.

Since the Huns suffered the most severe disaster, Guangxiao estimated that perhaps the time for the Huns to send troops was during this period.

The foreign tribes on the prairie did not dare to send out all their troops.

They were afraid of arousing the common hatred of the major dynasties and making them deal with them together, but they could let the Huns take the lead to test the situation of the major dynasties.

Therefore, there may be other Xiongnu tribes on their way here later.”

Su Ye slowly polished the white porcelain teacup in his hand with an expressionless face.

Whenever the alien race in the north could no longer survive, they would invade from the south.

It would be best if you can take advantage, but if you can't, you can use it to deplete the population in the tribe.

"But don't worry, my lord. This may not be a bad thing for you and the prince."

"Teacher, I wonder what we should do?"

Su Ye knew that since Yao Guangxiao raised this issue.

Then he had naturally thought of a countermeasure, and was even confident about it. He just looked at Monk Daoyan's mysterious expression.

Su Ye smiled helplessly in his heart and asked cooperatively.

It's troublesome to deal with this group of scholars.

Unlike the white tiger, it bows down to me the first time it sees me.

Much cuter than this group of counselors!
Yao Guangxiao took a sip of tea slowly and then said:
"My lord, the northern border is about to encounter a war, which will inevitably alarm the court.

Among the two states in Daqian and Dongtu, the war in Cangzhou, which is next to our Yunzhou, is the most serious.

Therefore, we only need to temporarily delay the war in Cangzhou.

By that time, the Taiping Sect in the heart of Daqian was about to start an uprising.

By then, the Daqian court, which is busy suppressing the rebellion, will certainly allow our Jiuxiao Army to recruit a certain number of soldiers in Yunzhou and go north to support Cangzhou in resisting the Xiongnu's blockade! "

"Sir, do you want my Su family to take this opportunity to expand its strength?"

"Sir, please listen to my next plan first. Over the past hundred years, the Yun Palace and the Jiuxiao Army have infiltrated Cangzhou, one of the two states in the East.

As one of the second states in the East and close to the northern border, Cangzhou has always been outside the core of Daqian. It is rampant with thieves, bandits, and horse thieves, and there are not many top forces except the imperial court.

Therefore, we can take advantage of the fact that the Daqian royal family is busy finishing up their affairs and take control of Cangzhou and Dongning Pass in one fell swoop.

In this way, the lord can start to build a stable base before the world falls into chaos.

By then, even the Daqian Dynasty would have reacted.

The Jiuxiao Army, which already controls Yun and Cang states and, after expansion, also controls Dongling and Dongning passes, is no longer afraid of the imperial court.

And there were two other kings of different surnames who provided support inside.

Then the great cause can be accomplished, and with the combined strength of the three kings of different surnames, changing course will be as easy as pie!"

Yao Guangxiao moistened his throat and then said, "At this time, the prince can also help Prince Su Kai to vigorously develop Yunzhou for a few years.

Quietly waiting for the chaos that the Taiping Sect will cause in the world within the Daqian territory.

The Taiping Sect was just a group of refugees.

This inherently restricts their future.

Perhaps the Taiping Sect could have achieved temporary prosperity in the early stages by relying on its advantage in popular support.

But after that, they will surely be defeated, and the five states in the central region of Daqian will be filled with refugees.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can join forces with Prince Su to submit an imperial edict to the court.

Requested to introduce refugees and even Taiping prisoners to strengthen border defense.

By then, the imperial court, faced with internal and external troubles, would surely be very happy to hand over this hot potato to Prince Yun's Palace.

In this way, the population of Yunzhou will surely increase greatly, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only needs to vigorously develop internal affairs and stockpile food and supplies.

And we should raise soldiers among the people, and wait for a great change in the world one day. The lord might take advantage of the internal rebellion of the Dayong Dynasty in the East to attack Dongzhou in the east and then occupy the entire north of the East and look at the entire territory of the East.

Or he can go west through Dongling and Dongning to control the imperial court, or occupy the four passes of Shendu and watch the world. It all depends on the lord's thoughts."

Yao Guangxiao is worthy of being Yao Guangxiao. His strategy this time is no less than the one proposed by Zhuge Liang for Liu Bei in Longzhong to divide the world into three parts.

A clear strategic plan for the future was put forward for Su Ye.

"And I heard that the direct descendants of the Lord of the Zhenbei Army, King Ye, are three golden flowers. I wonder who will get the huge foundation of the Zhenbei Army in the future."

At the end, Yao Guangxiao suddenly sighed, then lowered his head and sipped his tea in silence.

Su Ye, who heard the hidden meaning in Yao Guangxiao's words, twitched his mouth. He was still planning his future ambitions, and now he started talking about this topic.

The scope of Yao Guangxiao's topic caught Su Ye off guard.

But to be honest, if just getting married could really allow us to defeat the Zhenbei Army without bloodshed.

Not to mention getting married, even if the other person looks like Bo Gang, Su Ye can grit his teeth and endure it with his eyes closed!
