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

As soon as the scout finished speaking, Chu Yang burst into laughter, his laughter full of ridicule and disdain.

"Hahaha, God is really helping me! This Japanese came quickly and left quickly. Could it be that he was scared away by my reputation?"

Chu Yang glanced at the Yuenan envoy with a hint of teasing in his tone.

The Yuenan envoy's face turned pale at this moment, and his clenched fists trembled slightly.

He never expected that the Japanese would retreat at this critical juncture, causing him to miss the opportunity to drag Chu Yang into the water!

"Your Highness is joking,"

The envoy cupped his hands with a fake smile, "The Japanese are full of tricks. I'm afraid they have other intentions for withdrawing their troops this time!"

"Oh? What the envoy said makes sense," Chu Yang pretended to be enlightened, "Then according to the envoy's opinion, how should the king respond?"

The envoy suppressed his anger and cursed in his heart: This kid is clearly asking questions even though he already knows the answer!

He took a deep breath and lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, although our army has repelled the Japanese, we have suffered heavy losses and are in urgent need of rest and replenishment."

"Now that the Japanese have retreated but are not leaving, it is obvious that they want to make a comeback."

"Your Highness, please, for the sake of the friendship between our two countries, send troops to help us and drive the Japanese out of this sea area completely!"

Chu Yang didn't say anything, but just looked at him with a smile, his eyes full of amusement.

"Your Highness?"

The envoy felt uneasy when he looked at him and couldn't help but urge him.

"No hurry, no hurry,"

Chu Yang waved his hand and said slowly, "The envoy also knows that this king has just arrived and Qiongzhou is in a state of disrepair. It is really difficult to mobilize troops."

"Your Highness!"

The envoy was anxious, "My king has high hopes for you, you..."

Chu Yang raised his hand to interrupt him, his tone becoming cold.

"Emissary, be careful with your words! I am a vassal king of the Great Zhou. When is it your turn to point fingers?!"

The envoy was frightened by his sudden pressure and dared not say anything more.

Chu Yang snorted coldly and continued, "The Japanese retreat means they are no longer able to fight. Instead of worrying about the future, the envoy should go back as soon as possible, comfort the soldiers of your country, and welcome the fruits of victory!"

"you……"

The envoy was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Chu Yang for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Why? What else do you want to tell me?"

Chu Yang raised his eyebrows, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

"Since King Qiong is unwilling to send troops, can I take away the food and weapons you prepared?"

The envoy now knew that this was the last time he would be questioned.

"Food? Didn't I tell you that the food is right here? Just come and get it."

"Humph! In that case, I'll take my leave now!"

The envoy knew that staying any longer would be useless, so he had to leave in anger.

Watching the envoys leave, Chu Yang curled his lips into a sneer.

"Your Highness,"

Zhou Yu stepped forward and said, "This envoy from Yuenan is obviously trying to drag us down. Now that the Japanese have withdrawn, we can say that we have won a great victory in this battle!"

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhou is too modest. If you hadn't suggested burning the Japanese warships, would those weaklings from Yuenan Country be able to stop the Japanese?"

Chu Yang laughed loudly, and then ordered: "Hold a celebration banquet in Prince Qiong's palace, and the king will reward the three armies."

"promise."

The personal guard beside him bowed and accepted the order.

Soon, the generals of the three armies gathered in Prince Qiong's palace.

The happiest ones among them were Zheng Yun and Pan Feng. They had been fighting the Japanese pirates for so long and had never won such a great victory.

"Haha, I knew that King Qiong was a great general at that time. He defeated 50,000 Japanese troops and 20,000 Yuenan troops in one battle!"

"Yes, the King of Qiong is brave, and it is a blessing for the soldiers of Qiongzhou."

Hearing this,

Chu Yang laughed along, then raised his glass and said heartily, "All the generals have contributed to this battle. Come on, drink!"

"Dry!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank happily.

Zhou Yu also raised his glass and drank it all, but there was a lingering worry between his brows.

"Sir, are you worried that the Japanese will make a comeback?"

Chu Yang put down his wine glass and looked at Zhou Yu with sharp eyes.

"Your Highness, please understand,"

Zhou Yu put down his wine glass and said, "The Japanese are ambitious and will not give up after this defeat. I am worried that they will quickly gather their forces and attack Qiongzhou again, and they will also..."

"Will they unite with Yuenan Kingdom, or even the Great Zhou Dynasty, to deal with us together?"

Chu Yang took over the conversation, and a sneer appeared on his lips, "Humph, if they really dare to do this, I will make sure they never return!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being frank,"

Zhou Yu looked solemn, "Our current strength is not enough to contend with these three forces. The only solution now is..."

"The only way is to grow and develop as quickly as possible, right?"

Chu Yang's eyes were sharp and his tone was firm, "Don't worry, sir. I have a plan in mind. After this celebration banquet, we will start to build warships. When the big ships are completed, it will be the day when the Japanese and Yuenan countries will be destroyed."

"Your Highness is wise."

Zhou Yu raised his glass in respect.

at the same time.

In Nanling City, a hundred miles north of Qiongzhou, a conspiracy is quietly brewing.

Sima Yi swaggered into the city with the gold, silver and jewelry given by Chu Yang.

The soldiers guarding the city saw that although his group was small in number, they were all strong and sturdy, and they were carrying so much treasure, so they did not dare to neglect them and immediately went in to inform the city lord.

The lord of Nanling City was named Sun Fengtian, who was originally an official sent to Qiongzhou by the Great Zhou court.

Later, seeing that the situation in Qiongzhou was in chaos and the imperial court was out of reach, he began to think about establishing his own regime. However, due to the power of the Great Zhou, he could only take action in Nanling City and did not declare himself king.

When Sun Fengtian heard that someone was coming to him with a large amount of treasure, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered people to welcome Sima Yi and others into the city lord's mansion.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Sun Fengtian sat on a high hall, looking down at Sima Yi who was standing below, his eyes full of scrutiny.

"My name is Sima Yi, nice to meet the city lord."

Sima Yi bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Sima Yi?"

Sun Fengtian frowned slightly. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"I wonder where Mr. Sima is from? Why did you come to seek refuge with this city lord?" Sun Fengtian asked calmly.

"Reporting to the Lord of the City, I was originally the leader of the Black Wind Village,"

Sima Yi lied calmly, "I heard that the city lord is a man of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, and is always willing to recruit talented people, so I came here to seek refuge, hoping to serve under him."

"Black Wind Village?"

Sun Fengtian suddenly realized, no wonder the name sounded so familiar.

It turned out to be the bandit leader who had been causing a lot of trouble in Nanling City recently!

"So it's you, the Sima Village Master. I've heard of you for a long time!"

Sun Fengtian had a fake smile on his face. "Since the Sima Village Master is willing to turn from evil to good, this city lord is naturally very welcome!"

"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"

Sima Yi said with false gratitude.

"Someone, come and arrange accommodation for Sima Village Chief and treat him well!" Sun Fengtian waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes!"

soon.

Sima Yi and others were arranged to live in a courtyard next to the city lord's mansion.

Sima Yi walked into the room, looked around, and secretly thought about his next step.
