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

Chu Yang put down the letter, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and fell into deep thought.

Sima Yi has always been resourceful and cautious. What is the deep meaning of his move?

Could it be that he just wanted to turn five thousand bandits into a real army?

Chu Yang pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that Mr. Sima wants to take this opportunity to give me a big gift!"

He stood up suddenly, his eyes gleaming, "Pass the order down, allocate 10,000 taels of silver, 500 taels of gold, 10,000 dan of grain and fodder to Sima Yi, and in addition..."

Chu Yang paused, then lowered his voice and whispered something to Zhao Yun.

After hearing this, Zhao Yun showed a look of shock on his face, then nodded heavily and turned away.

At this time, Chu Yang could only wait silently for the progress of the South China Sea campaign.

But he was restless.

"I'd better go and take a look. If this fire doesn't start and Yuenan and Dongying don't fight, it will be troublesome."

Thinking of this, he went alone to the coast of Qiongzhou to see how Zhou Yu was progressing.

Day two.

At daybreak, Chu Yang, along with several guards, rode to the coast of Qiongzhou.

From afar, there were hundreds of small boats docked on the sea. Their pitch-black hulls looked like lurking cheetahs in the morning light, ready to strike.

"Your Highness!"

Zhou Yu was wearing armor and had a sword on his waist. When he saw Chu Yang coming, he immediately walked up to him and saluted with his fists clasped.

Chu Yang dismounted, patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, how are your preparations going?"

"Your Highness, everything is ready. We can start as soon as it gets dark!"

Zhou Yu said confidently, pointing at the small boats, "The boats are already loaded with gunpowder and ignition materials. We just need to get close to the Japanese warships and set them on fire!"

Chu Yang nodded, walked to the shore with his hands behind his back, looked at the calm sea in the distance, and asked.

"Is there any movement in Dongying and Yuenan?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I sent people to spread the news yesterday, saying that the Japanese had secretly landed a few days ago. Not only did they march into the coastal areas of Qiongzhou, they also sent troops to Yuenan with the intention of attacking the capital of Yuenan."

Zhou Yu raised a sly smile, "The ruler of Yuenan is suspicious by nature. Now that he hears this news, he will surely fly into a rage and go find the Japanese to settle accounts."

"Haha, great! Mr. Zhou is indeed resourceful!"

Chu Yang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and his mood became much better.

He looked into the distance, as if he had already seen the scene of raging flames engulfing the Japanese warships.

At that time, Yuenan Kingdom and Dongying Kingdom will attack each other, and he, Chu Yang, will be able to reap the benefits!

Think of this.

Chu Yang was in a happier mood. He patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, the battle tonight depends on you!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Yu will definitely live up to your trust!"

Zhou Yu clasped his fists and saluted, his eyes gleaming with confidence.

Over time.

Night is falling!

There were gusts of cold wind blowing on the sea, and the waves rolled and hit the rocks, making bursts of roars.

Chu Yang was wearing a black cloak, standing on a high ground, looking at the sea in the distance.

By his side, there were only Zhao Yun and a few trusted guards.

"Your Highness, the wind has changed!"

Zhao Yun suddenly spoke.

Chu Yang looked up and saw that the wind, which was originally blowing towards the southeast, had turned towards the south at some point, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, making his clothes rustle.

"It seems that Mr. Zhou's plan will be successful! If nothing unexpected happens, we will receive help from Yuenan Country in the second half of the month."

Chu Yang murmured, because he had already seen the scene where Yuenan and Dongying fought, and Yuenan was defeated and begged him to send troops.

Just thinking about it.

A flash of fire suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance, followed by a deafening explosion. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating half of the sky red!

"Haha, it looks like Zhou Yu's plan has come true!"

Chu Yang burst into laughter.

at the same time.

The blazing flames illuminated Zhou Yu's handsome face, and he finally let go of the worry in his heart.

The Fireship Project was a success!

At this moment, those Japanese warships were like piles of dry firewood floating on the sea, being ruthlessly devoured by the flames.

"Quick! Rescue our soldiers!"

At Zhou Yu's command, the small boats that had been prepared long ago rushed towards the burning warships like arrows.

The soldiers who drove the fireboats were carefully selected by Zhou Yu, and each of them was an excellent sailor.

They had already jumped into the sea before the fire ship collided with the Japanese warship, and were now waiting for their brothers to come and rescue them.

The situation between the Japanese and Yuenan coalition forces had become a mess.

"General! General! Something terrible has happened!"

Sultan, the general of Yuenan Kingdom, was staring at the fire on the sea in the distance in a daze when he was suddenly awakened by a panicked shouting.

"Why are you panicking? The Japanese are playing with fire and getting burned. What's the big deal?"

The Sultan scolded impatiently, and he was about to say something.

But suddenly he froze, his eyes wide as big as bells.

"Those...are they our people? What are they doing? Why are they blowing up the Japanese ship?"

The Sultan pointed at the small boats desperately fleeing on the sea in the distance and asked in disbelief.

"This... I don't know either!"

The deputy general standing by was also confused. He had lived for most of his life and fought on the battlefield for many years, but he had never seen such a strange scene.

Why didn't their people attack the Japanese warships without following orders!

Sudden.

Another deputy general suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted in horror.

"General, something terrible is happening! The Japanese warships are heading towards us!"

The Sultan looked closely and saw dozens of Japanese warships rushing towards them aggressively, with the bows of the ships filled with murderous Japanese warriors holding samurai swords.

"Baga! Sultan boy, you are in cahoots with King Qiong! How dare you attack my warships at night! I'll kill you!"

On the deck of the Japanese warship, a burly general wearing red armor and holding a samurai sword pointed at the Sultan and cursed him. He was the Japanese general Ichiro Hidenaga.

"Ichiro Hidenaga! You are slandering me! I..."

The Sultan was immediately furious. He never expected that he would be accused of such a serious crime.

"General, now is not the time to explain, quickly order a counterattack!"

A deputy general reminded anxiously.

"Fight back! What can we use to fight back? We don't even know what's happening!"

The Sultan roared in frustration. He was now completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

"General, look!"

The deputy general suddenly pointed at a small boat on the sea in the distance and exclaimed.

The Sultan looked in the direction the deputy general pointed and saw many soldiers who had blown up the ship swimming onto a small boat and sailing away.

"Is all this a conspiracy of that kid King Qiong?"

Sultan suddenly understood. He never thought that Chu Yang would play such a trick.

"General, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Kill them! Kill those Japanese!"

The Sultan roared that he couldn't care less now and had to save his life first.
