After guarding the border for his father for three years, the daughter-in-law returns home and becom

The two came to the backyard of the palace, where there was a martial arts training ground. Chu Yang and Zhao Yun usually practiced martial arts here.

"Zilong, do you know the Mandarin Duck Formation?"

Chu Yang walked to the center of the training ground and turned to ask Zhao Yun.

"Mandarin Duck Formation?" Zhao Yun was slightly stunned. It was obviously the first time he heard of this formation.

"Yes, this formation was created by a famous general, General Qi Jiguang, and was specifically used to deal with Japanese pirates."

Chu Yang explained, "This formation has both offensive and defensive capabilities, and its changes are unpredictable. It is a powerful weapon to defeat the enemy!"

"Oh? There is such a magical formation?" Zhao Yun was immediately interested when he heard it. "Please teach me, Your Highness!"

Chu Yang nodded and began to explain to Zhao Yun in detail the composition, changes and application of the Mandarin Duck Formation.

With 11 people in a team...

Zhao Yun was indeed a famous general of the time. He understood everything immediately and quickly grasped the essence of the Mandarin Duck Formation.

"Your Highness, this formation is extremely exquisite. I admire it!"

After listening to Chu Yang's explanation, Zhao Yun couldn't help but admire him.

"Although this formation is exquisite, it requires soldiers to master it in order to exert its greatest power."

Chu Yang said, "Next, we will train an elite division to deal with the Japanese pirates!"

"Yes!" Zhao Yun responded with a fist salute.

a few days later.

Outside Qiongzhou City, on the parade ground, flags were waving and the air was filled with murderous intent.

Chu Yang was wearing silver armor and riding a tall horse. He was followed by Zhao Yun and other generals and came in front of the soldiers of the three armies.

He secretly wondered whether he should mobilize troops now.

"I don't know how Wang Meng handled it. He has actually only recovered three of the four counties so far."

"Also, it would be awkward to send troops to fight against the Japanese pirates without an adviser!"

"After all, Wang Meng has to manage Qiongzhou City and Four Counties for me!"

Chu Yang pondered secretly and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Finally, he decided to use a civil official card, as he knew that if the four counties were unified, he would get another civil official card.

"Use the Civil Servant Card."

Chu Yang muttered in his heart, and the next moment, the figure of an old man appeared in his mind.

This old man was none other than Sima Yi, the famous man during the Three Kingdoms period!

"Oh my god, no way, system, are you kidding me? Why did you bring this old fox to me?"

Chu Yang was groaning in his heart, how could there be another such famous traitor in history? Did the system want him to follow in the footsteps of the Cao family?

He rubbed his temples and thought to himself, "However, Sima Yi is indeed a rare talent. In history, he was able to manipulate three generations of Cao Wei in the palm of his hand. No one can match his scheming and means."

Think of this.

Chu Yang felt a little relieved, after all, he was not a short-lived person like Cao Pi.

Besides, no matter how powerful Sima Yi is, can he really turn the tables?

He decided to wait and see what surprises this strategist could bring him.

the other side.

Sima Yi rode a black horse to the city of Qiongzhou. Looking at the scene of people coming and going in front of the city gate, he was full of doubts.

"Didn't the Seventh Prince just arrive in Qiongzhou? Why is the city gate so busy? Has he already unified Qiongzhou?"

He dismounted, grabbed a passerby and asked, "Fellow countryman, may I ask what the city of Qiongzhou is like? Why is it so prosperous?"

The fellow villager looked Sima Yi up and down, and seeing that he had an extraordinary bearing and did not look like a bad person, he answered enthusiastically.

"You don't know this! Our King Qiong is a god descended from heaven."

"In just a few days, we swept away all the corrupt officials who had oppressed us for years, and also arrested all the evil bullies and thugs."

"Nowadays in Qiongzhou City, people don't pick up things on the road and don't lock their doors at night!"

Sima Yi was shocked. How could the seventh prince have such means?

He continued to ask: "My fellow countryman, is what you said true? Is this King Qiong really so powerful?"

When the fellow heard this, he immediately became unhappy and said with his neck stiff.

"What are you talking about! Our King Qiong is a truly benevolent and righteous king. Not only did he exempt us from taxes for three years, he also opened his warehouses to release grain and provide relief to the victims. Among us ordinary people, who doesn't remember his kindness?"

"Yes, yes! I heard that Japanese pirates invaded a few days ago, and King Qiong has already sent troops."

"Also, I heard that King Qiong also..."

The people around were talking about it, and their words all revealed their respect and love for Chu Yang.

The more Sima Yi listened, the more shocked he became. He had not expected that the Seventh Prince was so popular among the people. It seemed that he had underestimated him before.

He bowed his hands to thank everyone, and admiration for Chu Yang arose in his heart.

Then he walked towards the city gate. Although the gate was not very tall, it was very solidly built. There were arrow towers and watchtowers at regular intervals on the city wall. It was obviously carefully arranged.

The soldiers defending the city were all in high spirits, with bright eyes, completely different from the lazy officers and soldiers he had seen before.

"It seems that the Seventh Prince does have some skills. He was able to manage Qiongzhou in such an orderly manner in just a few days. If he is given more time..."

Sima Yi pondered secretly in his heart, and an indescribable expectation surged in his heart.

He calmed himself down and walked into the city gate.

Sima Yi asked along the way.

Finally arrived at the Qiongzhou Mansion.

This mansion was originally the residence of the former King Qiong, but now it has been converted by Chu Yang into a place for meetings and offices.

He handed over the visiting card, and soon a guard led him into the palace.

Chu Yang was flipping through bamboo slips in the study room when he heard footsteps and looked up.

A middle-aged man in a green shirt, with a thin face but a stern look on his face, walked in.

"Are you Sima Yi, Sima Zhongda?"

Chu Yang put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked at the person in front of him with interest.

"It's the grass people."

Sima Yi bowed and said, "I, Sima Yi, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

"Sir, why do you call yourself a commoner? Sir, there is no need to be so polite."

Chu Yang smiled and gave a false helping hand, "What brings you here this time?"

Sima Yi did not beat around the bush and said bluntly: "I have long heard of the Seventh Prince's reputation. Seeing him today, I find that his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

"Nowadays, the princes are fighting for power and the people are living in misery. Only the Seventh Prince cares about the people and works hard to govern the country. He is truly a blessing to the world."

"Sir, you are overly complimentary."

Chu Yang smiled faintly, "I just want the people of Qiongzhou to live a more stable life."

Sima Yi's eyes gleamed as he continued.

"The Seventh Prince is a man of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, but now he is living in a chaotic world. If he does not have great talent and strategy, he may be difficult to escape the calculations of others."

"I am a humble commoner, but I am willing to serve the Seventh Prince and help him achieve great things!"

Chu Yang sneered in his heart. This Sima Yi was indeed a shrewd man. He started to flatter himself and talked about achieving great things. His ambition was quite big.

He did not point it out, but pretended to be surprised and asked: "What do you mean by this, sir? I am just an idle prince, how can I talk about great undertakings?"

"Seventh Prince, don't underestimate yourself."
