Chapter 339 Intrigue and Discussion

"Inspector Su is indeed very smart. We have considered this tactic before, but have never been able to make up our minds."

"Now that the Cangzhou army has joined us, our confidence has doubled."

After Shen Zhian heard this, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

"This war is not fought by me alone."

"Please don't flatter me, Generals."

Su Ye shook his head and said modestly.

He didn't want to be carried up by Shen Zhian and the other two to fight the Yellow Turban Army head-on.

He is here to fish!

It's not like I'm really here to be a loyal minister to the Daqian Dynasty.

There was a flash of disappointment in Shen Zhian's eyes. He originally wanted to use Su Ye's power to boost the morale of the entire army and take the heads of the Yellow Turban Army.

However, Su Ye's answer was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing his enthusiasm.

He sighed softly and prepared to persuade again unwillingly.

"General Shen, General Si, and Governor Su are humble and are a model for us all."

"But the war cannot be controlled by one person alone. We need the wisdom of everyone to discuss the overall situation together."

At this moment, Guo Jia took over the conversation with a smile.

Shen Zhian was stunned. He didn't expect that this young strategist would be so clever in changing the subject.

"Mr. Guo is absolutely right. Let's discuss the next battle."

He sighed inwardly, knowing that it would be futile to continue insisting, so he followed Guo Jia's words.

Su Ye was secretly delighted. He glanced at Guo Jia and then threw himself into the discussion of the battle situation.

During the discussion, Shen Zhian tried several times to bring the topic back to Su Ye, hoping that he could take more responsibility.

However, each time it was cleverly resolved by Guo Jia.

Shen Zhian cursed in his heart, "little fox", but he could do nothing about it.

Guo Jia kept smiling, as if everything was under his control.

From time to time, he would throw out some unique insights, which not only demonstrated his talent but also cleverly avoided making Su Ye the focus.

In the end, Shen Zhian had to give up his plan and worked out a detailed tactical plan with Su Ye and Guo Jia.

After the discussion, Shen Zhian and Guo Jia looked at each other and saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes.

As the night deepened, the lights in Wuzhou City dimmed.

Shen Zhian and Guo Jia sat opposite each other, and the conversation between them seemed like a contest without the smoke of gunpowder, full of intrigue and wit.

As for Su Ye, after handing this matter over to Guo Jia, he lived directly in the military camp of the Cangzhou army.

Even Wuzhou City was not brought in.

"Mr. Guo, Governor Su doesn't seem to be enthusiastic about the war. What should we do?"

Shen Zhian took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

There was a hint of worry in his tone, as if he was seeking Guo Jia's opinion, but in fact he was testing him.

"General Shen is overthinking."

"Governor Su has his own considerations, we just need to do our best to assist him."

Guo Jia smiled slightly and responded calmly.

The answer was flawless, expressing respect for Su Ye and implying that Shen Zhian didn't need to worry too much.

"Mr. Guo, the war is urgent now. Should we adopt a more proactive strategy?"

Shen Zhian frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with Guo Jia's answer, and tried again.

He stared at Guo Jia, trying to get some clues from the other party's reaction.

"General Shen is absolutely right, but the way to fight a war is to judge the situation and not act rashly. We need to wait for the right opportunity so that we can win with one strike." Guo Jia gently put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly.

Shen Zhian secretly admired Guo Jia's wit and calmness. He understood that this conversation was not a simple exchange, but a contest of strategy and tactics.

"Then Mr. Guo, in your opinion, how should we deploy the next battle?"

"The strategy of dividing the troops that we discussed earlier requires elite soldiers and strong generals to be implemented. I wonder if Mr. Guo has any candidates to recommend?"

He did not continue to ask questions, but changed the subject and continued to probe.

"General Shen has many brave men under his command. General Si is from the royal family of Daqian and is even more powerful. Why should we worry about not having anyone to use?"

"General, all you need to do is select the best men, and you will succeed in one fell swoop."

Guo Jia smiled slightly and replied.

It not only gave Shen Zhian enough face, but also cleverly avoided the issue of directly recommending candidates.

"Mr. Guo is absolutely right. I will go and select elite soldiers to prepare to implement this plan."

Shen Zhian laughed out loud after hearing this, knowing in his heart that there was no point in continuing.

He stood up and left, but in his heart he was deeply impressed by Guo Jia's wit and calmness.

Although this conversation did not directly touch upon sensitive topics, the intrigues and wit between the two were vividly displayed.

As the night deepened, the conversation between Shen Zhian and Guo Jia came to an end.

However, the battle between strategy and tactics continues.

Both of them understand that the upcoming battle will be more complicated and changeable, and they will continue to compete with each other in this battle.

At this moment in Wuzhou City, although it was late at night, people's hearts were not calm.

The conversation between Shen Zhian and Guo Jia was like stones thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

At the same time, Si Yan and Su Ye's group were walking at a brisk pace.

The autumn wind swept across the fields, raising a cloud of dust, but the footsteps of the crowd seemed firm and calm.

Si Yan's eyes were deep as he looked at the towering Cangzhou camp in front of him, his heart filled with pride.

"I have long heard that Cangzhou's army is full of brave generals. It is a blessing to see them today."

"I wonder if you are interested in learning from someone and improving together?"

Si Yan grinned and presented his ideas to Wang Xiangyang and others beside him with a smile.

These words immediately caused quite a stir among the people in Cangzhou.

Wang Xiangyang, the most powerful person among the people in Cangzhou, just glanced at Si Yan indifferently and silently evaluated his strength in his heart.

Although Si Yan displayed a calm aura, in the eyes of Wang Xiangyang, the ceiling god of war with a basic martial arts level of 110, his cultivation was remarkable, but just so-so and not yet at the top.

Therefore, Wang Xiangyang did not take Si Yan's challenge seriously and his expression remained calm.

Next to Wang Xiangyang stood a middle-aged man who looked like a wise man. He was Xun You, the strategist of the Cangzhou army.

"Xiangyang, Si Yan should not be underestimated. He is very famous in the Daqian Dynasty. Recently, he has fought against three generals of the Yellow Turbans in Wuzhou. He should not be underestimated."

He looked deep in the eyes and spoke softly to Wang Xiangyang.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangyang just nodded slightly but said nothing.

Wang Xiangyang was not interested, but Sun Wukong on the other side was eager to try.

Seeing this, Xun You nodded slightly and gestured to Sun Wukong beside him.

Sun Wukong was originally an impatient general, and when he heard Si Yan's invitation for a sparring match, he became eager to try.

"Haha, I've heard a lot about General Si Yan. He beat the Yellow Turbans of Wuzhou so hard that they dared not raise their heads."

"Since General Si Yan is so interested, I, Old Sun, will come and fight with you for a few moves!"

Now having obtained Xun You's approval, he immediately jumped out impatiently and laughed heartily.
