The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"Marshal, something terrible has happened! Something unexpected has happened!" In Zhang Ye's residence, Lu Shan, who had just received the latest intelligence, trotted to the door of the study.

Before he even entered the door, he shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice full of anxiety.

Lu Shan rushed into the study, sweating and panting, and went straight to Zhang Ye, who was lying in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a book in his arms.

"Marshal, Jin Junli has been imprisoned! Military Advisor Park has successfully taken over the command of the resistance army. Now, the entire command center has been surrounded like an iron barrel, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will!" Lu Shan said while gesturing with his hands, looking extremely nervous.

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Ye, who had been half-closed his eyes, sat up slightly straighter, but his nonchalant expression remained on his face. He said casually, "Oh? It seems the struggle has finally begun. I really overestimated Jin Junli's ability to rule. I thought he could make a difference, but who would have thought he didn't even get a chance to make a move. He was so easily suppressed. How disappointing."

Lu Shan quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, Marshal. According to information gathered by our intelligence department, an extremely fierce argument broke out between Jin Junli and Military Advisor Park. Moreover, the current development of the situation seems to be somewhat different from what we expected."

After saying that, he hurriedly handed the heavy information in his hand to Zhang Ye, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm? How is it different?" Zhang Ye put down the book in his hand, took the information and looked at it carefully.

Lu Shan calmed himself down and continued, "I heard that it was Jin Junli who insisted on capturing you in exchange for Commander Jin. But Military Advisor Park took the exact opposite view and immediately led his men in a drastic crackdown on those who supported Jin Junli's pro-priest faction."

Upon hearing this news, a slight ripple appeared on Zhang Ye's face, which had been as calm as water. He slowly stretched out his right hand, picked up the intelligence, and read it carefully.

As time passed, his eyes never left the paper in his hand, as if he wanted to see through the densely packed words and grasp all the secrets hidden in it.

I don't know how much time passed, but when he finally finished reading the last line, the amusement in his eyes had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a deep astonishment and disbelief.

Zhang Ye stood there like a petrified man, staring blankly ahead, his lips slightly parted as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he only murmured softly, "I didn't expect... Ali is actually quite a gutsy kid!"

Before this, Zhang Ye always believed that children like Jin Junli who grew up in a royal family must have been accustomed to the survival rules of profit-first and intrigue.

So from the very beginning, he concluded with confidence that Jin Junli would never risk coming to arrest him for a dying and corrupt old man. On the contrary, he would definitely take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to decisively break with the Silla Emperor and firmly control the power of the resistance army with lightning speed.

However, what no one expected was that the course of events completely deviated from the track set by Zhang Ye.

Instead of seizing power at the first opportunity, Jin Junli unexpectedly went against the majority opinion and insisted on rescuing the dying old man at all costs.

I have to admit that this result really surprised Zhang Ye.

From this we can see that although Jin Junli is ambitious, he is still too young and immature. When faced with complicated situations, he is easily swayed by emotions and it is difficult for him to be truly ruthless and decisive.

As the saying goes, emotion outweighs reason, and family affection outweighs royal power. Such personality traits are destined to make him face many challenges and hardships on this thorny and bumpy road to becoming a king.

"General, how should we deal with this situation?" Lu Shan frowned tightly, hurried over, and reminded anxiously, "Qin Fan's troops are about to arrive here. We should hurry up and pack our bags and evacuate here."

Hearing this, Zhang Ye couldn't help but let out a slightly dissatisfied sigh, smacking his lips and saying, "Ah... the way this matter was handled really makes me feel a little awkward!"

Then, as if talking to himself, he began to mutter, "If we just leave like this, Ali and his son will probably die. Although this matter won't have a substantial impact on our cooperation with the rebels, for some reason, it feels like a thorn in my heart, and I can't help but feel uncomfortable no matter how I look at it."

However, Lu Shan holds a completely different view on the current situation.

He bowed slightly, carefully sitting in front of Zhang Ye, and patiently and sincerely advised, "General, please think carefully. Our purpose in supporting Silla is nothing more than to use their power to tie up most of the Sakura Kingdom's troops, thereby relieving the pressure on the Qindao incident. Therefore, as long as the resistance army can stand firm and as long as the war in Silla can continue, who will ultimately control the power of this land is actually not very relevant to us."

"Furthermore, whether it's Military Advisor Park or Jin Zaishan, they are actually just a cover. The core object of our real cooperation has always been the Silla royal family!"

Having said that, many things in reality cannot be handled and operated according to this idealized model.

Zhang Ye was naturally well aware of this.

So when he heard these words, he not only understood what the other party meant, but also had to admit that Lu Shan was right.

However, just like the previous judgment on Kim Jun-ri, emotion prevails over rationality!

Isn’t Zhang Ye himself such a person who is easily swayed by emotions?

In some ways, he is even crazier than Jin Junli.

Even if he knows deep down that what he is doing is not appropriate, as long as there is a trace of irresistible impulse or desire in his heart, he will act without hesitation and is willing to pay the price for that fleeting spiritual shock!
