Chapter 678 The Return of the Demon Monk
At this moment in Tianheng Mansion, the sunlight shines through the carved wooden windows, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of warmth and vitality to this ancient and solemn building.

Yao Guangxiao was dressed in a plain robe and had a thin face. He walked slowly into the study with steady steps.

He had just returned from the affairs of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce in Hengzhou, and was feeling relaxed and obviously quite satisfied with the operations of the Chamber of Commerce.

"I have met my lord."

Yao Guangxiao walked to the table, bowed slightly, and although his voice was soft, it was accompanied by a hint of smile.

"Sir, please take a seat."

Su Ye raised his head, looked at Yao Guangxiao with gentle eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

As he spoke, he pointed to the cushion beside him.

Yao Guangxiao sat down as he was told, his eyes casually sweeping across the plan on the table, and he already had some guesses in his mind.

"My Lord, I heard that Cangzhou is planning to support the Murong Xianbei. I wonder how this is going?"

He stroked his long beard and spoke slowly.

"Sir, you are well-informed. The plan has already been implemented. Cangzhou has provided weapons and food, as well as sent military commanders to help the Murong Xianbei and even the many Xianbei tribes that he united."

Su Ye smiled lightly and put down the teacup in his hand.

"Although this plan is brilliant, we must proceed with caution."

"The three brothers of the Murong clan are all heroes and have strong autonomy. I'm afraid they are not easy to control."

"Besides, even if they get support from us, they may not be able to defeat the three alliances headed by the Mongolian, Jurchen, and Longyao tribes."

Upon hearing this, Yao Guangxiao nodded slightly, with a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

"Sir, you are absolutely right. I also have this concern."

"However, the situation on the grassland is complicated. The Murong Xianbei, or the Xianbei clan behind them, is a force that cannot be ignored."

"If it can be guided, it may become an important chess piece to contain the three major alliances."

Su Ye nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

"My lord, you have great foresight. I admire you."

"However, I think we can do two things at the same time. While supporting the Murong Xianbei, we can also try to sow discord between the Mongolian Alliance and the Jurchen Alliance, causing them to kill each other and consume their strength."

Yao Guangxiao smiled gently, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

"Sir, you can give this plan a try! If you can successfully instigate the two alliances, the situation on the grassland will become even more chaotic, which will undoubtedly be a huge benefit to us."

Su Ye was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled.

"Although this plan is brilliant, Temujin of the Mongolian tribe is not someone that can be easily dealt with. How could he easily join forces with us?"

But then some doubts appeared on his face.

"Although Temujin was brave and good at fighting, the Jurchen alliance has grown in power in recent years. The two tribes are not far from each other and have long posed a threat to Mongolia. The wars that took place between the two before are not so easy to stop."

"We only need to stir up trouble a little bit and promise him great benefits. Temujin may be tempted. Besides, the tribes on the grasslands are all about interests. How can there be eternal alliances?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and said with confidence.

"This plan is feasible, but we need to proceed with caution to avoid backfiring."

Su Ye nodded when he heard this. Yao Guangxiao's strategy was just a casual move. It didn't matter whether he could reach Chengdu or not, and there would be no big loss if he failed.

"In addition, I have another plan. My lord, please listen to it."

Yao Guangxiao nodded slightly and continued:

"Sir, please speak."

Su Ye smiled slightly, obviously looking forward to Yao Guangxiao's subsequent strategy.

"We can support a puppet tribe on the grassland in case of emergency." "This tribe does not need to be too powerful, as long as it can provide us with intelligence and be used by us at critical moments."

Yao Guangxiao looked deep in the eyes and spoke slowly.

"It is not a small risk to support a puppet tribe on the grassland. If it is discovered by other tribes, it may bring disaster upon ourselves and turn their attention to us."

When Su Ye heard this, a hint of intention flashed in his eyes.

"My lord, rest assured. I know what to do. We only need to support this puppet tribe in secret without being too ostentatious. When the time is right, we can bring its role into play."

Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and said with confidence.

"Well, since you are so confident, then we will follow your plan. You can call upon the many personnel from Luowang under Jin Yu, Shenwu Hall, Tianyun Chamber of Commerce, etc."

Su Ye felt relieved when he heard this. He had never doubted the planning ability of Yao Guangxiao, the black-robed evil monk.

Since Yao Guangxiao is so confident, he naturally won't hesitate.

"Thank you for your trust, my lord. I will do my best to help you."

Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and bowed.

"Jin Yu is still confident in your work, sir. However, this matter of instigation requires a person of unparalleled wisdom and strategy to carry out. I wonder if you have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Su Ye nodded, then changed the subject and asked Yao Guangxiao.

Now the three states under his command are all engaged in farming, and everything is being revived. Many people are doing their respective duties, and it is not easy to find someone who is doing nothing at the moment.

Well, the old ladybug Guo Jia is suitable.

But when Su Ye thought of his thin figure that seemed like it could be blown away by a gust of wind, he really wanted to send him to the grassland to make arrangements.

If Su Ye dared to send someone, Guo Jia would probably die on the grassland.

"I think Mr. Jia Xu can take on this important task. He is very intelligent, good at observing people's expressions, and his actions are cunning and difficult to be detected."

"If he were to go ahead and instigate the issue, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Yao Guangxiao thought for a moment, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Yao Guangxiao and Jia Xu were birds of a feather.

Therefore, judging from themselves, both of them knew what the other was like.

They are also a pair of enemies, and they will never show mercy when they can trick the other party.

Besides, Yao Guangxiao thought that since Jia Xu, this old man, valued his life so much, he should let him do this.

I guess others would still have some reservations, fearing that they would be killed by Temujin if they disagreed with something.

But if it was the old man Jia Xu, Yao Guangxiao would probably rely on his ability to save his life.

I guess nothing will happen to him even if Temujin kills him.

This old vicious man might even resort to any evil scheme just to save his own life.

In the Central Plains, Jia Xu might still be concerned about his own reputation or even the reputation of Su Ye and the Cangzhou Army under his command.

I am restricted in offering suggestions and doing things, and everything is interfered with.

But when Jia Xu goes to the grassland, he has nothing to worry about. What he should worry about are the foreign races, not Jia Xu himself.

Therefore, it would be the best idea to let Jia Xu go to the grassland.

Anyway, they are a group of barbarians from the grassland with wolfish ambitions. The more they die, the safer the Central Plains will be. Putting Jia Xu on the grassland is a win-win situation.

Although it is possible that the grassland barbarians who indirectly died at the hands of Jia Xu might have some opinions at that time.

But who cares?
