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

Looking at the backs of several people, Chu Yang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He knew that the men he had now only added up to two hundred people.

Moreover, they are all gangsters, and there are probably only about a hundred of them who can actually go into battle and kill the enemy.

but.

If one wants to fight against the imperial court's 100,000-strong army, this amount of manpower is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

“It seems like I have to find a way to recruit more talents.” Chu Yang muttered to himself.

at this time.

A guard hurried over, knelt on one knee, and reported: "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince is here to visit!"

Chu Yang frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Let him in."

A moment later, the fifth prince Chu Yun strode in, surrounded by a group of guards.

He was wearing a purple brocade robe today and a piece of white jade on his waist, which made him look handsome and majestic.

"Seventh brother, what are you singing about?"

As soon as Chu Yun entered the room, he couldn't wait to ask, with a bit of anxiety in his tone, "Father sent a hundred thousand troops here, but you didn't flee, but instead you are here to recruit soldiers. Are you planning a rebellion?"

Chu Yang smiled slightly, signaling Chu Yun to stay calm. After the guards served him tea and dismissed the attendants, he slowly spoke:

"Fifth brother, you are joking. All my soldiers are in Qiongzhou. What can I use to rebel?"

"Then what are you doing..." Chu Yun was even more confused.

"I need manpower." Chu Yang said bluntly.

"Manpower?" Chu Yun was even more puzzled. "What do you need manpower for?"

He suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, and asked in disbelief: "Are you thinking of gathering people to fight against the imperial court's 100,000 troops?!"

"Why not?" Chu Yang raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"You are crazy!"

Chu Yun stood up suddenly and shouted, "Do you know what you are talking about? A hundred thousand troops! What can you use to fight them? Just the hundred or so rabble you have?"

Chu Yang smiled noncommittally and did not directly answer Chu Yun's question, but said lightly.

"Fifth brother, you should know that I never do anything that I am not sure of."

Chu Yun was stunned for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something, and asked suspiciously: "Do you have anything to rely on? For example, the 100,000 troops in Nanling City?"

Chu Yang was a little surprised to hear this.

Now he knew why Chu Yun came. It seemed that he wanted to mobilize the 100,000 troops from Nanling City!

This must not be agreed to, because the military token must become scrap metal!

"Seventh brother, we are brothers, just say whatever you want to say, why are you playing dumb with me?"

Seeing Chu Yang not saying anything, Chu Yun became a little anxious.

"Don't worry, Fifth Brother. Since I dare to stay, I must have my own plans."

Chu Yang put down his teacup and said slowly, "However, I am still short of manpower. I wonder if Fifth Brother is willing to help me?"

"You want me to help you?"

Chu Yun pointed at himself, looking incredulous.

"Fifth brother, I know what you are worried about."

Chu Yang interrupted Chu Yun and said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't let you die. I just need some reliable people to help me do something."

"What's the matter?" Chu Yun asked.

"What else could it be? I just want to build an elite force that can compete with the imperial army in the shortest possible time!"

"you……"

Chu Yun opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.

He knew Chu Yang's ambition and also knew Chu Yang's ability.

But, a hundred thousand troops! That's a hundred thousand troops!

"I know this is hard for you."

Chu Yang looked at Chu Yun and said sincerely, "But I promise you, as long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Chu Yun was silent.

He weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

He knew that helping Chu Yang was like dancing on the edge of a knife, and he would be crushed to pieces if he was not careful.

But he also knew that Chu Yang was a man of his words. If he could really succeed, then everything he had given would be rewarded a hundredfold or a thousandfold!

"Okay! Let me help you!"

In the end, Chu Yun made a decision.

"But I don't have many people under my command, only more than 200 loyal soldiers and retainers, you see..."

"enough."

Chu Yang interrupted Chu Yun and finally showed a smile on his face, "I feel relieved with Fifth Brother's words."

"However, seventh brother, you haven't told me yet, what do you rely on to dare to challenge the imperial court's 100,000 troops?" Chu Yun asked, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Chu Yang smiled mysteriously, pointed at his head and said, "Just based on this."

"Just relying on your brain?" Chu Yun was even more confused.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Chu Yang pretended to be profound and said, "The important thing now is that you have to get your people here as soon as possible, otherwise things will be troublesome."

Hearing this, Chu Yang nodded, but he was unwilling to give in, so he added.

"Seventh brother, do you think we should prepare the 100,000 troops in Nanling City?"

"That's not necessary. It will take about a month for Nanling City to get here, and the daylily will be cold by then."

Chu Yang patted Chu Yun on the shoulder, signaling him not to worry.

that's it.

Chu Yun’s plan to see if his military talisman was effective was ruined.

Not only that, more than 200 assassins and retainers also broke in.

A few days later.

The 100,000-strong army was finally assembled and a route was planned.

Sun Quan was dressed in military uniform, riding a tall horse, and walking in front of the team with high spirits.

Behind him followed a group of deputy generals, each of them wearing shining helmets and armor, and full of murderous intent.

"General, which prince are we going to capture this time? Why is there such a big show?"

A deputy general couldn't help but ask curiously. He had followed Sun Quan for many years, but he had never seen such a large-scale military mobilization.

Sun Quan sneered and said disdainfully: "Who else could it be? It would naturally be the ignorant Seventh Prince Chu Yang!"

"However, in my opinion, His Highness probably wants to test his seventh brother's strength and see if he has the heart and ability to rebel."

"We're just going through the motions this time."

The deputy general suddenly understood and nodded in agreement.

In his opinion, Chu Yang was just a young boy who was still wet behind the ears. No matter how much he struggled, he would not be able to cause any big waves.

With an army of 100,000, won’t it be easy to capture them?

Just saying.

A scout rode his horse at full speed to Sun Quan, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and reported.

"Report - General, the spies ahead reported that Chu Yang has gathered troops and forged weapons in Luoyang City. It seems that he wants to fight us to the death!"

"Oh? This kid is quite courageous. He didn't even run away?"

Sun Quan heard this, not only did he not feel worried, but he raised his eyebrows with interest, "How many more troops can he gather? Could he have included all the cooks and grooms in Luoyang City?"

The scout hesitated for a moment, then said, "General, according to the spies, Chu Yang has assembled at least 10,000 soldiers."
