"Yes, if I become a matchmaker and give all these girls to those dandy young men, wouldn't that help me get closer to the noble families?"
"If I can deal with these playboys, I will be able to march south soon!"
"In this way, the person who holds the emperor hostage and controls the princes will be me!"
Thinking of this, Chu Yang decided to do this.
He was just about to send someone to notify the young ladies from the noble families when a personal soldier ran in hurriedly.
"Your Highness, we have spotted three thousand Xiongnu cavalrymen a hundred kilometers away. They seem to be checking our military deployment."
"The Huns? Do they dare to come?"
"Your Highness, do you want to send troops..."
"What are you fighting for?"
Chu Yang waved his hand. "The Xiongnu no longer have the ability to advance. They are just a group of stray dogs."
He hesitated for a moment, then said to the guard, "Go and inform them, and tell them what I said, if they kill all the remaining Japanese troops."
"I guarantee that all the gold, silver and jewelry in Japan will belong to them."
"And I will also send them some food and money. Great Zhou and the Xiongnu are willing to make peace."
"Ah! We still need to send food and money even if we don't fight?"
The guards were confused, "Will the Huns listen?"
"Listen? Of course they will listen!"
Chu Yang sneered, "The entire country of Japan has relocated, and with so much gold and silver treasures, the Xiongnu have long been anxious. Now that we give them a chance, won't they pounce on us like hungry wolves?"
"Your Highness is wise!"
The personal soldiers suddenly realized what was going on and immediately took orders and left.
Chu Yang looked at the departing figures of his personal soldiers, with a slight smile on his face.
"The Huns, the Japanese, these idiots, let them fight each other, I will just sit back and reap the benefits."
He stood up, walked to the map, and swept his eyes across the entire territory of the Great Zhou, finally landing on the capital of the Great Zhou.
"The next target is you."
A cold light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes.
A few days later.
Chu Yang was discussing the construction of a mighty city with Wang Zheng in the tent when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"what happened?"
Chu Yang frowned and asked the soldiers around him.
"Your Highness, it's Miss Qin, she..."
The personal soldier looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong with her? She's so hesitant. What's wrong with her?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
The soldier took a deep breath and said, "Miss Qin said she wants to see you. If she doesn't see you, she will hang herself outside the tent!"
"Oh my god! It's still possible!"
When Chu Yang heard this, he immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
This young lady from the Qin family is really a weirdo!
But when I think about the fact that I’ve been fighting all my life, I can really enjoy myself.
"Let her go to the side tent to talk."
Chu Yang waved his hand impatiently, and then went to the side tent.
soon.
Qin Yurou walked in with a cold and arrogant demeanor.
"My humble self, Qin Yurou, greets His Highness."
"Miss Qin, there's no need to be polite. Tell me, what do you want?"
Chu Yang looked at the beauty in front of him with amusement. This young lady from the Qin family was much more interesting than those mediocre women.
"I, I want you to marry me!"
Qin Yurou raised her head and looked straight into Chu Yang's eyes.
Chu Yang was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter.
"Miss Qin, you are kidding me. I have no intention of getting married."
"I'm not joking!"
Qin Yurou said firmly, "As long as Your Highness is willing to marry me, my Qin family is willing to do our best to help Your Highness achieve great things!"
Chu Yang put away his smile and stared at Qin Yurou sharply, "Why do you think that I need the help of your Qin family?"
"My Qin family is rich enough to rival a country, and our students and former officials are all over the world!"
Qin Yurou looked at Chu Yang without showing any weakness, "Your Highness may have a large army under your command, but food and military pay all require money. My Qin family can solve all your worries!"
Chu Yang's heart moved. What Qin Yurou said was right. Although he now had a strong army, money and food were indeed a big problem if he wanted to compete with Chu Zhenzhou.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Chu Yang walked up to Qin Yurou and pulled her out.
After leaving the side tent, he turned over and mounted his warhorse, pulled Qin Yurou up, and rode away.
"Your Highness, where are you taking me?"
Qin Yurou exclaimed and subconsciously put her arms around Chu Yang's waist.
"Of course, we should go to a quiet place and discuss our marriage."
Chu Yang smiled, then squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and the warhorse galloped out like an arrow.
This scene.
The young ladies from the noble families who were anxiously waiting outside the tent were stunned.
"I didn't expect that the Qin family would succeed!"
"Stop talking, this is a military camp, we are lucky to be here."
"What military camp? Do you think it looks like a war? I think this Seventh Prince is a complete loser!"
Chu Yang brought Qin Yurou to an endless grassland and dismounted.
"Tell me, how powerful is your Qin family? What kind of agreement do you want to reach with me?"
Hearing this, Qin Yurou took a deep breath and spoke decisively.
"My Qin family's disciples are all over the world's merchants and officials. As long as Your Highness is willing, my Qin family is willing to do our best to help Your Highness ascend to the throne of the Nine Five Supremes!"
"Haha, ascend the throne?"
Chu Yang sneered. He had heard this rhetoric so many times that his ears were callused. "How many noble families are there in the Great Zhou? I have been fighting outside for many years and I don't even know them."
"This……"
Qin Yurou was slightly stunned, and then explained, "There are probably at least several hundred of them, if not a hundred! But they can be divided into different levels, those in the capital, those in the prefectures and counties, and those in the local government..."
"Oh? So, if I want to conquer the Central Plains, I have to visit these noble families one by one?"
"Your Highness, you are joking. With your reputation, as long as you raise your arms and call, won't those nobles surrender?"
"Haha, that sounds nice."
Chu Yang shook his head. "But I prefer practical things. Tell me, how much food and wages can these nobles provide? Is it enough for a million-strong army?"
Hearing this, Qin Yurou covered her mouth and smiled.
"Your Highness, you are joking. Without the help of other noble families, my Qin family alone can support 300,000 soldiers for Your Highness!"
"What, you! You guys!"
Chu Yang was shocked. He didn’t expect that these noble families had such a strong foundation!
Just take the food and wages for an army of 300,000 men?
How much money does this cost!
Or was it because I was afraid of being poor in the past?
However, Chu Yang knew that he should not act too anxious. He could not march south until the city was completed. After all, that was a decisive battle!
"Okay, Miss Qin is indeed courageous. I will take note of this."
Chu Yang patted Qin Yurou's shoulder and said, "If I need anything, I will definitely contact the Qin family first."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Qin Yurou was delighted, knowing that she had made the right decision.
