Chapter 114: Building momentum! Leaving Nanling City to prepare for the battle against Japan
The scout’s words made Chu Yang’s heart skip a beat.
His third brother Chu Qi wrote to him at this time. What was he up to?
Logically speaking, shouldn't Chu Qi be able to retire peacefully in Nanling City? Why did he suddenly think of his seventh brother?
He took the letter, unfolded it and saw that Chu Qi's handwriting was vigorous and flamboyant, revealing an indescribable arrogance.
"Seventh brother, I have been in Nanling City for several months, studying under Mr. Sima Yi, and have benefited a lot."
"I just learned recently that my seventh brother is brave and courageous, and has extraordinary wisdom and strategies. I am very happy. Now that the Great Zhou is in turmoil, I am willing to lend a helping hand to my seventh brother to overcome the difficulties together!"
"Also, when I was dealing with the Japanese ninjas in Nanling City, I discovered that they had already infiltrated all the coastal areas of Dazhou. The situation is critical, so it is better for you to make plans early."
After reading the letter, Chu Yang frowned and fell into deep thought.
Shangguan Wan'er saw that his face was uncertain and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, what did the Third Prince say in the letter?"
Chu Yang handed the letter to her and said, "Take a look for yourself. I really can't figure out what Chu Qi is up to."
Shangguan Wan'er took the letter, read it carefully, and was also confused.
"Hasn't the Third Prince always been eyeing the throne? Why did he suddenly want to help Your Highness?"
"yes,"
Chu Yang sneered, "This third brother claims to be a man of extraordinary destiny, how could he really help me? But Sima Yi is watching over there, so theoretically there won't be any trouble, right?"
"Your Highness, do you mean that the Third Prince has other intentions?" Shangguan Wan'er asked.
"Maybe I'm overthinking. I'm relieved that Sima Yi is in Nanling City. Besides, Wang Meng in Qiongzhou and Zhou Yu in Shuiyun Island are both here. Chu Qi doesn't dare to act recklessly."
"What does Your Highness plan to do?" Shangguan Wan'er asked.
"Although Chu Qi has ulterior motives, his words are not without reason."
"The Japanese have evil ambitions and are definitely not good people. If we allow them to gain a foothold in the coastal areas, it will cause endless troubles for the Great Zhou."
Chu Yang said, his eyes swept across the map, and finally landed on the location of Shuiyun Island, "It seems that we have to go to the coast."
Shangguan Wan'er heard this and asked worriedly, "What about Luoyang City? Several princes are eyeing them covetously. If we are not here, I am afraid..."
Chu Yang understood her concerns and said after a moment's silence.
"Leave Luoyang City to Chu Yun for the time being."
"Fifth prince?"
Shangguan Wan'er was a little surprised, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that he will rebel?"
"He dares not,"
Chu Yang smiled confidently, "Although Chu Yun is ambitious, he is more afraid of death. Now he has only one way, and that is to be tied to me."
"So when do we leave?"
"Let's do it tomorrow without further delay."
Chu Yang said, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "This time when I go to the coast, I will not only solve the problem of the Japanese, but also meet this third brother to see what he is up to!"
Early the next morning.
Chu Yang then left Luoyang City with Shangguan Wan'er, Yang Yuhuan and a team of elite personal soldiers.
Galloping towards the southern coast.
along the way.
Shangguan Wan'er found that Chu Yang seemed to be in an especially heavy mood, as if he had something on his mind.
"Your Highness, what are you thinking about?" Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but ask.
Chu Yang retracted his thoughts, glanced at her, and said, "I'm thinking that this trip along the coast might not be peaceful."
"Your Highness, are you worried about the Third Prince? Or Chu Yun?"
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "The internal affairs are nothing to worry about. What I am worried about is that the Japanese are coming with such force this time that they may not be as simple as they seem."
Shangguan Wan'er was startled when she heard this.
She knew that since Chu Yang said that, he must have noticed something.
So I stopped asking questions and just followed him silently, vigilantly observing the situation around me.
at this time.
A burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from a distance, and Chu Yang, Shangguan Wan'er and others immediately became alert.
I saw Suo Si galloping towards me with an anxious look on his face.
"Your Highness! Something terrible has happened!" Suo Si shouted loudly before he got close.
"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered? How can you be so rude?"
Chu Yang frowned slightly. Suo Si was usually calm and experienced, so why was he so out of control today?
Suo Si took a few deep breaths and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, there is an urgent report from Kyoto! The Emperor has appointed the eldest prince Chu Zhenzhou as the crown prince!"
"What? Didn't he just make Chu Yun the crown prince? He changed someone else?"
Chu Yang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He believed that things would never be that simple.
"anything else?"
Suo Si swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Sixth Prince to lead an army to attack Luoyang City!"
"They said they would bring you back to Kyoto. If they can't see you, then... they will massacre Luoyang City with blood!"
"What a Chu Zhenzhou, what a cruel heart!"
Chu Yang laughed in anger. This was clearly an attempt to take him back, but to put him to death!
He originally wanted to go to the coast first to solve the trouble with the Japanese, but he didn't expect that a fire broke out in the backyard. This group of jackals, tigers and leopards couldn't wait to tear him to pieces!
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Shangguan Wan'er asked anxiously.
"Why are you panicking? Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up!"
A hint of coldness flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. He was not a fish that could be slaughtered at will!
Then he dismounted and opened the map.
He scanned the map quickly, and his finger finally stopped at the location of Black Wind Ridge.
"Suo Si, you must rush to Black Wind Ridge immediately and tell Zhang Liao about the situation here. Tell him to prepare and be ready to send out troops at any time! Tell him that we only need to hold down one of the troops and prevent them from attacking the city with all their might!"
"Yes!"
Suo Si took the order and turned around to set off.
"Wait!" Chu Yang stopped him and continued, "Then go to Luoyang City again and tell Chu Yun and Wang Fugui about this!"
"Tell Chu Yun to work together with Wang Fugui. As long as they can hold the city gate for three months, great things can be accomplished."
"By then I will lead an army of 200,000 back. At that time, the throne will belong to Chu Yun!"
Suo Si was shocked when he heard this, this was a huge temptation.
You know, Chu Yun has always been eyeing the throne, but due to his lack of strength, he had to temporarily rely on Chu Yang. Now...
"Your Highness, this..."
Suo Si was a little hesitant. Would this be too risky?
"Do as I say!" Chu Yang said in a firm tone, leaving no room for doubt.
"Yes!"
Suo Si said no more and left.
"Your Highness, do you really believe that Chu Yun will help us?"
Shangguan Wan'er asked worriedly, Chu Yun is not a good guy, who knows if he will sit on the mountain and watch the fight between two tigers, or even add insult to injury?
"Believe him or not, we have no other choice."
