Chapter 273 Commander Ye
After Ye Ru entered the military camp, the entire camp began to whisper among themselves.
Some people who had never met Ye Ru scoffed at him, never imagining how talented he was. Among them were the four commanders.
These four commanders had been in the military camp for a long time and were not very familiar with the outside world. As a result, they did not know much about Ye Ru and thought that he had only come to this place through connections and had no real talent or learning.
At the military banquet, many high-ranking officers gathered to discuss how to reclaim the lost territory and avenge this humiliation.
"Chief Ye, tell me, how do we get all these demon soldiers to go back to their demon race? Do you have a good plan?"
Chen Tianjian picked up a glass of wine, pointed it at Ye Ru from afar, and said.
"If I make them all go back, I have no good plan, but if I make them stay a hundred miles away from us, I have a million ways."
Ye Ru smiled slightly, picked up a glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and said.
To be honest, the demon soldiers and demon civilians of the demon race are all devoid of intelligence and only rely on brute force to kill enemies. They are all the same kind of scoundrels, so using strategy is just the right word.
"Oh? Chief Ye, you have quite the air about you. I really don't know what abilities you have that made the demon race retreat a hundred miles. You must not have witnessed the scheme of that demon race's ghost scholar, have you?"
At this moment, a military commander, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips, said something meaningful.
"Brother Guan, what are you talking about? Even Master Guo Ku was helpless against those demon thieves. You are just a mere student, barely twenty years old. What brilliant plan do you have in mind? Can you possibly compare to Master Guo Ku?"
Another commander-in-chief smiled and said sarcastically.
"I do not possess the brilliant strategies of Mr. Guo; I am merely stating the facts. The enemy's use of a series of interconnected schemes is their strategy. Why can't you counter each and every one of these schemes, meeting each challenge head-on instead of surrendering yourselves? And yet you are here loudly proclaiming your defeat, not ashamed but proud?"
Ye Ru stood up, looked around, and said with a smile.
"you!"
The commander named Guan Mou was speechless after being refuted. He stood up, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted sternly.
"If you're so capable, tell us how to do it. Don't spout nonsense here. Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"
Another commander said in a deep voice.
Give me three days.
Ye Ru bowed to Chen Tianjian and said:
"Give me three days, and I have the ability to make them retreat a hundred miles and reclaim our human territory."
The entire audience erupted in uproar, their eyes filled with disbelief as they looked at Ye Ru.
The idea that the demon race could retreat a hundred miles in just three days is utter nonsense.
Moreover, the enemy forces also possess a cunning and scheming scholar.
"Three days, Ye Ru, don't speak too confidently."
Chen Tianjian frowned and said in a deep voice, "Ye Ru's words are too confident, although that is not unlike his style."
Three days is far too short.
"No need, just three days, but I need ten thousand soldiers."
Ye Ru looked serious, showing no sign of joking, and said.
"Ten thousand soldiers? That's no joke. That's ten thousand lives. You think you can take that? You must be out of your mind. I don't agree."
Guan Mou looked at Ye Ru and said with equal seriousness.
Although he didn't think much of Ye Ru, he couldn't let Ye Ru act so recklessly. After all, these were ten thousand lives, and his brothers with whom he shared honor and disgrace.
"General Chen, this matter is entirely up to you to decide. If you trust me, I will bring back that hundred li of land for you. If you don't trust me, I have nothing to say. After all, I am but a lowly person and cannot stop the progress of this war."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru fell into deep thought, and finally raised his head slightly, looking towards Chen Tianjian.
"I can give you this chance, but what if you can't win it back?"
Chen Tianjian, unlike his usual relaxed demeanor, spoke in a deep voice.
"There is only success, no failure. If we fail, I will offer my head to you. How about that? However, the premise is that General Guan must be with me, as well as Mr. Guo Ku. They must all obey my command and not disobey military orders."
Ye Ru took a deep breath, then spoke in a deep voice. His words caused many to twitch slightly at the corners of their mouths. Even Guo Ku and the others showed a hint of surprise in their eyes. Then, the latter stood up and said softly:
"Chief Ye is a man of exceptional talent and has made great contributions to the world, but war is not child's play. He cannot act solely based on his own likes and dislikes, but must take a holistic view of the overall situation."
"While I have no intention of belittling Chief Ye, I humbly suggest that Chief Ye observe for a few days before making any plans."
"Exactly. They don't understand anything, but they're good at theoretical discussions. What great things can they accomplish?"
One of the commanders curled his lip and said impatiently.
"Let me ask you, have you ever been to the battlefield?"
Guo Ku looked serious and said to Ye Ru in a deep voice.
"Never been there."
Ye Ru bowed and said.
"Hahaha, you've never even been on a battlefield, yet you dare to talk about military strategy here?"
Guan Mou laughed heartily, his tone extremely sarcastic, and even Guo Ku's face showed a hint of disdain.
"General Chen, is that alright?"
Ye Ru asked again.
Looking at Ye Ru's confident eyes, Chen Tianjian felt a surge of trust from somewhere. He also thought of how Ye Ru had escaped from the jaws of death and done so many things that ordinary people could not do.
"Perhaps Ye Ru really can complete this mission. In that case, what's wrong with taking a gamble?"
Taking a deep breath, Chen Tianjian nodded and said:
"Since you say it's possible, then I'll grant you a try. The Tiger Roar Army and the Dragon Cry Army will each send 5,000 troops, with you as the commander-in-chief, Mr. Guo Ku as the advisor, and Guan Mou as the vanguard, to go and kill the enemy!"
"My lord, this is outrageous! The Tiger Roar Army and the Dragon Cry Army are the backbone of our northern border, and this is the life of ten thousand soldiers!"
Guan Mou's expression changed, and he said.
"My mind is made up, and military orders are absolute."
With a flick of his sleeve, Chen Tianjian sent out a golden token that landed in Ye Ru's hand.
"Thank you, General Chen."
Ye Ru bowed, took a deep breath, and said.
"Alright, the banquet is over for today. The departure date will be decided by Commander Ye."
Chen Tianjian raised a glass of wine and said:
"This wine is to wish you a triumphant return."
"Thank you."
Ye Ru downed his drink in one gulp, his face becoming exceptionally stern:
"Mr. Guo Ku, where is General Guan Mou?"
"Alas, your subordinate is here."
Guan Mou let out a long sigh, then cupped his hands and shouted sternly.
"The end will be here."
Guo Ku also cupped his hands in return.
"Come with me."
Ye Ru turned and walked out of the military tent. Guan Mou and Guo Ku's expressions changed slightly, and they asked:
Where are we going on this trip?
Ye Ru paused, then turned his head and, under everyone's gaze, softly said:
"Avenge the fallen soldiers of our Yanhuang nation!"
