Chapter 173 Since the war has started, let Yuenan Kingdom march into Japan first!
Chu Yang sneered, crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball, threw it on the ground, and said contemptuously.
"This Chu Zhenzhou really can't keep his cool."
Wang Meng frowned and said worriedly, "Your Highness, this letter comes in a strange way. We have to be on guard."
"Although we have now won a great victory over Yuenan Country in the South Valley, we are still deep in enemy territory."
"If Yuenan Country and Chu Zhenzhou collude secretly and attack us from both sides, we will be attacked from both sides!"
At this moment, Chu Yang was not panicked at all. Instead, he came up with an idea. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes sparkled.
"Pass the order down and send someone to deliver a letter to the Lord of Yuenan, saying that I am willing to accept their surrender!"
"Accepting surrender?!" Wang Meng exclaimed, "Your Highness, this change is too fast!"
Chu Yang waved his hand, interrupting him and explaining, "The King did this, firstly to paralyze the enemy, and secondly..."
He paused, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, "I want Yuenan Kingdom to attack Japan for me!"
"what?!"
Wang Meng's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had heard something incredible.
"Your Highness, is this possible?" he asked in disbelief.
Chu Yang smiled confidently and asked, "Why not? After all our efforts, Japan has been severely damaged. There are old, weak, sick and disabled people everywhere. They are vulnerable to attack."
"Although we defeated Yuenan, they still have some strength. If we let them deal with Japan, won't it be easy?"
"But……"
Wang Meng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Yang's wave of his hand.
"No buts, let's do it!"
Chu Yang's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.
Wang Meng opened his mouth, but finally sighed helplessly.
"Okay, I obey your command!"
the other side.
Zhennanguan Mansion.
The King of Yuenan was sitting in his bedroom at this time, listening to the spy's report with a gloomy face.
"What did you say? Chu Yang actually offered to accept our surrender?"
Lord Yuenan stood up suddenly and asked in disbelief.
"It is absolutely true, Your Majesty!"
The spy knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Chu Yang sent someone to deliver a letter from the credible state, saying that he is willing to give His Majesty a chance to redeem himself for his crimes."
"Dedicate your crime to meritorious service?"
The ruler of Yuenan sneered, threw the letter to the ground, and said angrily, "This Chu Yang is insidious and cunning. First he let Zhang Liao attack our country's hinterland, then he refused to accept surrender, and now he is trying to ask for surrender again!"
"Do you really think I'm a three-year-old kid who can be fooled by others?"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
At this time, the deputy general on the side saw this and hurriedly advised, "Chu Yang is very cunning, we must be on guard! Maybe this is some conspiracy of his, deliberately wanting us to let down our guard, and then take the opportunity to attack us!"
Upon hearing this, the King of Yuenan's expression eased a little, but he still spoke with anger.
"Humph, do you even need me to tell you that? I'm not a fool, how could I easily believe his lies?"
As he spoke, he looked down at the letter of credence on the ground, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
To be honest, he really didn't want to fight with Chu Yang anymore.
Ever since Chu Yang led his army into the territory of Yuenan State, they have suffered successive defeats, lost many soldiers and generals, and their morale is low.
Now his capital was occupied by Zhang Liao, and he was completely unable to spare any effort.
If the fighting continues like this, it won’t be long before his country is destroyed by Chu Yang!
Thinking of this, King Yuenan couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
"Your Majesty, no!"
The deputy general seemed to see what he was thinking, and hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Chu Yang has evil intentions and is definitely not a good person! If we really surrender, he will definitely kill us all, and then we will really die without a burial place!"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
The Lord of Yuenan waved his hands irritably, "Are we really going to sit there and wait for Chu Yang to come and destroy us?"
"Your Majesty, why don't we first see what tricks Chu Yang is trying to play, and then make plans?"
"Um……"
The Lord of Yuenan pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "That's the only way."
As he spoke, he bent down again, picked up the letter from the ground, and began to read it carefully.
Over time.
In front of the two armies, Chu Yang, wearing silver armor and riding a tall horse, followed by Wang Meng and other generals, came to the front of Yuenan Kingdom in a mighty manner.
Opposite them were the rulers and ministers of Yuenan State, led by the King of Yuenan.
However, unlike the high morale of Chu Yang's side, the morale of Yue Nan Kingdom was low. Everyone was dejected, like a defeated rooster.
"Lord Yuenan, how have you considered this?"
Chu Yang glanced at the ruler and ministers of Yuenan Kingdom opposite him, a playful arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked loudly, "War? Surrender?"
The King of Yuenan had a gloomy expression on his face, with complex expressions flashing in his eyes, and he seemed to be still hesitating.
Seeing that Lord Yuenan remained silent for a long time, Chu Yang continued.
"As long as you surrender, you can take the precious land of Japan anytime you want."
Upon hearing this, the King of Yuenan frowned and stared at Chu Yang suspiciously, wondering in his heart what this kid was up to.
Chu Yang naturally understood his concerns, and without waiting for him to ask, he continued to speak.
"You also know that I conquered Japan and defeated Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army of 800,000 men, and also caused a plague to spread across Japan."
He paused deliberately, looking at the increasingly wonderful face of the Lord of Yuenan, and then he said slowly: "The plague should be almost over now. If you take action now, you will definitely win a great victory. By then, you will be a famous monarch of Yuenan Kingdom!"
Hearing this, King Yuenan was filled with shock.
He didn't expect Chu Yang to make such a request, but what Chu Yang said was right. After a war with Japan, Japan would no longer be able to fight for fifty years. Now is a good time to take action.
"This……"
There was a look of hesitation on the face of King Yuenan, as if he was still weighing the pros and cons.
"What's going on? Is Lord Yuenan afraid?"
Chu Yang raised his eyebrows, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
“Who…who is scared!”
The ruler of Yuenan immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "I was just wondering if this was some conspiracy of yours!"
"Hahaha!"
Chu Yang laughed loudly, his laughter full of disdain, "Just you? Are you worthy enough for me to spend so much effort to set up a conspiracy?"
As he spoke, he stared at the Lord of Yuenan with a sharp gaze and spoke every word.
"You only need to answer this king, surrender or not surrender!"
The King of Yuenan was frightened by Chu Yang's aura and was speechless for a moment.
After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and spoke in a deep voice as if he had made some important decision.
"Okay! I...I promise you!"
"Wise choice."
