at the same time.
Inside the Prince's Mansion.
Chu Zhenzhou, who received all the information, paced back and forth in the study anxiously.
"Your Highness, most of Japan's gold, silver and treasures have been transported to the Xiongnu territory. I'm afraid..."
The counselor Liu Ji hesitated to speak, for he knew that his next words would make the Crown Prince even more uneasy.
"What are you afraid of? Tell me!"
Chu Zhenzhou stopped suddenly, with a hint of anger in his tone.
"Many years ago, the Xiongnu were defeated by His Majesty the Seventh Prince and suffered heavy losses. But now that they have obtained the wealth of Japan, they are bound to make a comeback!"
Liu Ji said with a heavy tone, cupping his hands.
Chu Zhenzhou's face became even uglier when he heard this. He knew that Liu Ji was right.
Chu Yang's move undoubtedly created a powerful enemy for himself.
"Then according to your opinion, what should we do?"
"In my opinion, His Highness the Seventh Prince should lead 50,000 troops to annihilate the Xiongnu!"
Chu Zhenzhou was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Sir, Chu Yang is not a fool. He now has 600,000 soldiers. Why would he leave the troops he has obtained behind?"
"Besides, can 50,000 troops really wipe out the remaining Xiongnu?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. The Seventh Prince is brave and good at fighting, and he has General Wang Zheng to help him. The remnants of the Xiongnu are nothing to be afraid of!"
Liu Ji smiled confidently and continued, "Besides, doesn't the Seventh Prince like to fight against foreigners? Let him fight to his heart's content!"
Chu Zhenzhou frowned slightly. He always felt that there was another meaning behind Liu Ji's words, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment.
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince will definitely bring his elite troops with him on this expedition."
"And those old guys in the court will never miss this opportunity. After all, the Xiongnu are now at the end of their rope."
"They will definitely find ways to get their sons and nephews into the Seventh Prince's army. If these people can't come back then..."
When Liu Ji reached this point, he said nothing more and just smiled meaningfully.
Chu Zhenzhou suddenly realized that although 50,000 troops were enough to defeat the remnants of the Huns.
However, the Xiongnu territory was vast and sparsely populated, and the 50,000-strong army was like a drop of water into the sea.
As long as these sons and nephews of this official go there and something unexpected happens, then Chu Yang will definitely be ruined.
But if Chu Yang wins a great victory, then things will be troublesome.
"Sir, if something unexpected happens, what should we do?"
“As long as Chu Yang is willing to lead 50,000 troops, it doesn’t matter whether something unexpected happens, because what we want is Chu Yang’s 600,000 troops.”
Liu Ji said this confidently, as if he had already seen the scene of the unification of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Chu Yang's downfall.
"But, will Chu Yang really go? He may not listen to us now!"
"It's okay, Your Highness, don't forget that the major noble families have reached an agreement with Chu Yang to divide up Japan. Now that Japan has been defeated, they will definitely not let Chu Yang sit idle."
Hearing this, Chu Zhenzhou nodded slightly. Perhaps this was the only way for now.
Although he now holds the emperor hostage to control the princes, Chu Yang is cunning and has repeatedly gained the upper hand in the name of attacking foreign races.
This might be their last fight.
If Chu Yang cannot be eliminated, then we will really have to go to war.
the other side.
Japan native.
This once arrogant and domineering country is now filled with the flags of the Great Zhou soldiers.
The city was breached, the village was burned down, and the once prosperous streets are now only left with broken walls and ruins.
"Your Highness, we have conquered all of Japan. Do we need to return to the court?"
At this time, Zhao Yun, holding the Longdan Silver Spear, rode his horse to Chu Yang's side.
Chu Yang glanced at the mess in front of him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"These Japanese barbarians dared to invade the border of our Great Zhou. Now they only have themselves to blame."
He dismounted and walked to a huge map spread on the ground.
His gaze fell on the territory representing the Great Zhou, the Xiongnu, and Japan, and he remained silent for a long time.
"Your Highness, if we return to the Great Zhou now, I'm afraid we will have to fulfill the territorial issues with the major noble families."
Xun Yu, who was standing by, stroked his beard and spoke in a calm tone.
"What's your plan, sir?"
Xun Yu smiled slightly and said, "I thought Chu Zhenzhou would let you send troops to the Xiongnu to pursue the remnants of the Dongying army, and he would not let you bring so many troops."
"Sir, do you mean that they want to take this opportunity to weaken your Highness's power?"
When Zhao Yun heard this, he immediately understood what Xun Yu meant and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Hehe, weakening my strength?"
Chu Yang sneered, because Chu Zhenzhou would never know until his death that his civil and military officials were 100% loyal.
"They may be wrong. I will give them a trick this time!"
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Zhao Yun and Xun Yu asked in unison.
Chu Yang did not answer directly, but asked: "Sir, do you think the Xiongnu is an easy bone to chew?"
Xun Yu pondered for a moment and replied: "Although the Xiongnu have a vast territory and few people, they are proficient in riding and shooting, but they were defeated by you many years ago. Now you are sending troops, it can be said that you are sweeping away the leaves with no pressure."
"Well, in that case, then we should defeat the Xiongnu and surround the Great Zhou. I want to see what Chu Zhenzhou will do."
"Pass the order down, the entire army will rest for three days, and after three days, march north to crush the Xiongnu!"
Chu Yang waved his hand suddenly, pointing to the location of the Huns on the map, his tone full of domineering.
"Your Highness, the Japanese territory that was agreed upon with the noble family..."
Xun Yu frowned slightly, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Don't worry, sir. Those noble families are short-sighted and only focus on the immediate interests. I don't take them seriously."
A cunning look flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. "Let's stabilize them first, and say that we will discuss the matter of Japan with them after we have completely wiped out the remaining Xiongnu."
"Your Highness is wise."
Xun Yu stroked his beard and smiled. He knew that Chu Yang was retreating to advance and take the initiative into his own hands first.
"As for other deployments..."
Chu Yang paused, and glanced at everyone, "Zhang Liao, Sima Yi! You two lead your troops to Yuenan State and take control of the situation."
"The last general takes command!"
Zhang Liao and Sima Yi clasped their fists and accepted the order.
"Wang Meng, Xing Daorong, Pan Feng! The three of you will lead the troops from all over Qiongzhou and guard the cities in Qiongzhou to ensure the stability of the rear. In addition, be vigilant against pirate attacks."
"I will obey your orders!"
The three of them responded in unison, their voices full of determination.
"Zhou Yu! I order you to lead the three fleets of 'Sea Dragon', 'White Dragon' and 'Red Dragon' to control the waters around Japan and resist the invasion of pirates and other forces."
"The last general takes command!"
Zhou Yu bowed and accepted the order.
"Zhao Yun, Xun Yu! You two will lead your troops to continue guarding Japan and controlling the situation. At the same time, you will train new soldiers and prepare for future battles."
Chu Yang spoke in a steady tone. He knew that although Japan had been conquered, it would still take a lot of effort to completely control this land.
After arranging all this, Chu Yang said slowly: "This king and General Wang Zheng, as well as 30,000 Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, 30,000 Divine Machine Battalion, 30,000 Beiwei Army, 30,000 Array Flag Soldiers, a total of 120,000 troops, will go to attack the Xiongnu and completely wipe out those barbarians!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Everyone responded in unison and then began to get busy.
