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

A burly general wearing armor immediately stepped out, knelt on one knee, and spoke with a voice like a loud bell.

"The general is here!"

"I order you to immediately gather a hundred thousand troops and head to Luoyang City to bring back that rebellious son Chu Yang!"

"According to the order!"

General Sun Quan took the order, turned around and strode out of the Golden Palace.

Emperor Yongning looked at Sun Quan's departing back, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in his heart.

Chu Yang, oh Chu Yang, I wanted to let you live longer, but since you are seeking death yourself, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!

the other side.

Luoyang City.

Wang Fugui came running over with sweat all over his forehead, his fat body trembling like a frightened ball of meat.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

"Sir Wang, why are you so flustered? Is it possible that the sky of Luoyang City has collapsed?"

Wang Fugui panted heavily, and finally calmed down his breathing. He said with a sad face: "Your Highness, this is more terrible than the sky falling! His Majesty... He wants to send a hundred thousand troops... to kidnap you back!"

Chu Yang frowned slightly when he heard this, but then relaxed his brows and spoke calmly.

"Oh? A hundred thousand troops? It seems that my father really thinks highly of me."

Wang Fugui was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down, "Your Highness, it's already so late, and you still have the heart to joke! This is an army of 100,000. How can we resist it with such a small number of people?"

Chu Yang poured himself another cup of tea calmly and said slowly, "Master Wang, why are you panicking? This capital is hundreds of miles away from Luoyang City."

"Even if they want to mobilize an army of 100,000, they still have to gather the troops, hold a swearing-in ceremony, determine the route, allocate food and fodder, etc."

"It will take at least ten days or half a month to arrive, why are you in such a hurry?"

Wang Fugui thought it made sense and calmed down a little, but still said worriedly: "That being said, His Majesty is determined to deal with you this time! We'd better make plans early!"

"Plan? What plan?"

Chu Yang put down his teacup and looked at Wang Fugui sharply, "Does Lord Wang want me to surrender and return to Kyoto to wait for that old man to settle accounts with me?"

"Your Highness has misunderstood! I have no such intention! I just... I just think that we should make preparations early so that we can deal with the next crisis!"

Chu Yang chuckled, stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked at the clear sky outside the window, and said quietly.

"Prepare? Of course we should be prepared! But not ready to surrender, but ready to... fight back!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Fugui was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Highness! You absolutely cannot do that! Treason is a serious crime that will lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan!"

"We only have fifteen thousand men, and our armor and weapons are incomplete."

"How can we face an army of 100,000?"

Chu Yang turned around and looked at Wang Fugui who was kneeling on the ground, with a playful smile on his face.

"Are you teaching me how to do something?"

Wang Fugui was so frightened that cold sweats broke out. He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "I dare not! I am just... just worried about you, Your Highness!"

"Worried about me? I think you're worried about yourself."

Wang Fugui was so frightened that he trembled and dared not speak any more.

Seeing this, Chu Yang was too lazy to pay attention to him and just said calmly: "Get up, I won't die so easily. Send down the order and summon all the generals. I want to call a military meeting!"

"Yes Yes!"

Wang Fugui felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly got up and stumbled out to pass on the message.

Chu Yang looked at Wang Fugui's departing back, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Father, oh father, since you are so cruel, don’t blame your son for being unfilial!

The kingdom of the Great Zhou is mine...for me, Chu Yang!

Soon, the generals from Luoyang City came staggering over.

Although they were called generals, in fact, each of them looked like they were forcibly dragged over from the wine table. Their clothes were disheveled, their faces were red, and they smelled strongly of alcohol.

Seeing Chu Yang, these generals just bowed perfunctorily, with disdain and contempt on their faces.

Moreover, his eyes were vague and uncertain, as if he didn't take him, the prince, seriously at all.

Seeing this scene, Chu Yang smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that all this was caused by him, the airborne prince, who suddenly arrived in Luoyang City.

"My dear generals, I know that if you had not come to Luoyang City, you could have lived a carefree life."

Chu Yang took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to make his tone sound calm, "Now that a hundred thousand troops are attacking, this king is also helpless."

"Your Highness, you are the Crown Prince. How dare we, your subjects, disobey your orders?"

A general with a ferocious face spoke in a sarcastic tone, causing laughter from those around him.

Chu Yang sneered in his heart. These guys really didn’t submit to him!

He didn't want to waste any more time talking to these guys. After all, they were not his confidants, and it would be a waste of time to say more.

"In that case, I will speak directly."

Chu Yang's face darkened and his tone became tough. "I will personally lead this battle. You just need to wave your flags and cheer for me. After the battle is accomplished, the remaining surrendered soldiers will all be yours!"

"At that time, you will have military power in your hands and can go anywhere."

"If there is really no good place, then go to Qiongzhou and become a general to resist foreign invaders. It would be nice to be remembered in history!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall, which had been a little noisy, suddenly became quiet.

"Your Highness, you...you are planning a rebellion!"

A thin general said tremblingly, his face full of fear.

"rebellion?"

Chu Yang sneered, "This Great Zhou Dynasty originally belonged to my Chu family! Now my father is incompetent and has listened to the slander of treacherous officials and wants to put me, his own son, to death. Why can't I rebel?"

"Everyone, I am not afraid to tell you that as long as you are willing to follow me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly when I ascend to the throne!"

Chu Yang looked around at everyone, his eyes sparkling, his tone full of temptation, "When the time comes, you will be made a marquis, a general, and enjoy endless wealth and glory!"

"Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you. But I'm afraid that Luoyang City will soon fall into the hands of the enemy. By then, your lives and property will be in danger!"

Chu Yang's words made these generals fall into deep thought.

Although they are greedy, they also value their lives.

Now that an army of one hundred thousand is approaching, their limited military force is simply not enough.

If Chu Yang is really defeated, those of them who are sitting on the fence will definitely be liquidated by the new emperor. By then, let alone wealth and glory, it will be a question whether they can keep their lives.

"Your Highness, are you really sure that you can defeat that army of 100,000?" a general asked hesitantly.

"of course."

Chu Yang smiled confidently, "I have trained an elite army in Qiongzhou! I don't even care about a mere 100,000 rabble!"

Chu Yang's words were half true and half false.

He did have a large army in Qiongzhou, but those were used to resist foreign invaders. How could he possibly transfer them back?

However, he now has to show absolute confidence in order to make these fence-sitters believe in him and be willing to work for him!
