Chapter 37: The plan of alienation succeeds, and the battle of South China Sea is won
"Kill!"
Although the Yuenan soldiers were full of doubts, they had to bite the bullet and rush forward to fight a desperate battle with the Japanese warriors as military orders were firm.
Suddenly, there were deafening shouts and screams on the sea, flames shot up into the sky, blood dyed the sea water red, and a melee began.
"Hahaha, fight, fight! The more fiercely you fight, the happier I will be!"
On the hillside in the distance, Chu Yang looked at the chaotic battle on the sea and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Your Highness is wise! This trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife is really brilliant!"
Zhao Yun, standing behind Chu Yang, couldn't help but admire.
"Hahaha, it's just a trivial trick, not worth mentioning!"
Chu Yang waved his hand, but a cunning light flashed in his eyes.
This is just the first step of his plan, the best is yet to come!
Not long after.
The flames on the sea gradually died down, and the shouting and screaming gradually weakened.
Chu Yang looked at the shadowy Japanese warships in the distance. There was no joy on his face, but instead his brows were furrowed.
"Your Highness, what are you worried about?"
Zhao Yun saw Chu Yang's strange expression and couldn't help but ask.
"Zilong, who do you think will win or lose in this battle between Dongying and Yuenan?"
Chu Yang did not answer directly, but instead raised a question.
"This……"
Zhao Yun pondered for a moment, "In my humble opinion, the Japanese seem to have suffered heavy losses, but Yuenan Kingdom may not be able to gain any benefits. Both sides will suffer losses."
"Yes, both sides will suffer..."
Chu Yang sighed, "But what I want is for the Japanese to be completely wiped out! It would be best if not a single piece of armor is left, so that there will be no more trouble in the future!"
There was a gleam of ruthlessness in his eyes. He clenched his fist and smashed it hard on the tree trunk next to him, causing a flock of fallen leaves to fly up.
at this time.
Suddenly, several small boats appeared on the sea and were heading towards the hillside where they were.
"Your Highness, Mr. Zhou is back!" Zhao Yun had sharp eyes and recognized the leading ship at a glance.
really.
After a while, Zhou Yu climbed up the hillside with several soldiers.
"Your Highness, my plan is complete. Now we just need to wait for Yuenan Country to ask for help."
Zhou Yu said, cupping his hands, with a hint of pride in his tone.
"Well, it looks like Yuenan Country is coming for help."
Chu Yang nodded, and then changed the subject, "Should we send troops now, or not?"
Zhou Yu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Your Highness, I see that you seem to have some resentment towards the Japanese?"
"Humph! It's more than just resentment, it's a blood feud!"
Chu Yang gnashed his teeth and said, "Over the years, the Japanese pirates have repeatedly invaded the coast of our Great Zhou, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil!"
"These people must die!"
"Your Highness, calm down." Zhou Yu advised, "I think now is not the best time to send troops."
"Oh? Why do you say that, sir?" Chu Yang frowned, a little displeased.
"Your Highness, Japan will surely be severely damaged in this battle. There will be no more Japanese pirates in Qiongzhou in the future. By then, Qiongzhou will have developed for a few months and will be able to invade Japan in one fell swoop."
“That being said, but…” Chu Yang was still a little hesitant.
"Your Highness, think about it. If we send out troops now, we can certainly beat the fallen dog, but it will inevitably make Yuenan Kingdom feel timid. If they join forces with the Japanese to deal with us, wouldn't it be more loss than gain?"
Zhou Yu paused, then continued, "On the contrary, if we wait and see what happens now, and wait for the war between Dongying and Yuenan to break out again, it won't be too late for us to take action then."
After listening to this, Chu Yang pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
"Sir, you are right. I was just too impatient."
"Your Highness is wise." Zhou Yu smiled and bowed.
"Hahaha, if that's the case, then let's let the Japanese live for a while longer! When I have time, I will make them pay with blood!"
Chu Yang laughed loudly, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
"Report! Your Highness, the envoy from Yuenan Kingdom wants to see you!"
At this moment, a scout ran up the hillside quickly, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and reported.
"Oh? That's pretty quick!"
A hint of amusement flashed in Chu Yang's eyes, "Come on, follow me to meet this envoy!"
When the envoy of Yuenan Kingdom saw Chu Yang, he was furious, and it was obvious that he had already known Chu Yang's trick.
But no matter how angry you are, you still have to keep pretending.
He could only suppress his anger, put on a smiling face, and said respectfully.
"Your Highness, Prince Qiong, our army has started a fight with the Japanese. I hope Your Highness will send troops to defeat the Japanese army in one fell swoop."
Chu Yang raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Oh? You guys fought with the Japanese? How come I don't know about this?"
"This……"
The messenger was speechless and could only laugh dryly, "The war is urgent and I don't have time to report in detail. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
"The messenger's words are too serious,"
Chu Yang waved his hand and pretended to be regretful, "It's just that I have been preparing to collect materials for your country's surrender these days. Now my ships are full of supplies and I can't fight."
When the messenger heard this, he almost couldn't breathe.
He pointed at Chu Yang and kept asking him what he meant for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.
Chu Yang was secretly pleased when he saw this, but he remained expressionless and continued speaking.
"The envoy also knows that this king has just arrived. Qiongzhou is poor and sparsely populated, so I really can't bring anything good."
"I can only collect some food and cloth to show my gratitude."
"I was thinking of waiting for your country to come and take it, but who knew..."
He paused deliberately, looked at the envoy, and said sincerely: "Who knew that your country would be so brave and would wipe out the Japanese so quickly? It's really cause for celebration!"
The messenger was so angry that he was shaking all over after listening to Chu Yang's sarcastic words, but he couldn't find any fault with it, so he could only speak with gritted teeth.
"Your Highness, you are joking. Although our army fought bravely, the Japanese are cunning and cruel. It is difficult for us to win for the time being. That's why I came to ask Your Highness to send troops to help."
Chu Yang said with difficulty: "This... I do want to send troops, but as you can see, I only have some old, weak and sick people here besides food and cloth. I really have no power to do anything."
When the messenger heard this, he almost vomited blood.
He finally realized that this Chu guy was deliberately playing tricks on him!
What supplies were being prepared for surrender? The old, weak, sick and disabled. It was obvious that they just wanted to make fun of him!
He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
"Your Highness, our king has high hopes for you. Please put the overall situation first and send troops as soon as possible to help our army!"
Chu Yang saw that the time was almost right, so he stopped teasing him and said slowly, "Messenger, please be patient. Let me think about it carefully..."
“Your Highness!” The envoy became anxious when he saw Chu Yang trying to shirk his responsibility again. “Our army is now…”
"Report——"
At this moment, a scout hurried in, knelt on one knee, and reported: "Your Highness, the Japanese fleet suddenly turned around and seemed to have retreated."
