Chapter 171: Yuenan Kingdom surrenders to the Great Zhou Dynasty and asks Chu Yang to withdraw his t
"Our king has said that he is willing to submit to the Great Zhou and become a vassal of the Great Zhou forever, paying tribute every year and being a vassal every year!"
The messenger patted his chest and said this, as if it was some great achievement.
This statement came out.
Everyone present was stunned. No one had expected that the Yuenan Kingdom would actually take the initiative to propose submission to the Great Zhou!
"Oh? Why does your ruler have such an idea?"
Zhou Yu asked calmly, he knew that things were definitely not that simple.
"It's because His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is too aggressive!"
The envoy suddenly changed his expression and said indignantly, "Our king sent people to negotiate with good intentions, but he ignored us and even said he wanted to destroy our Yuenan Kingdom. This is simply too much!"
Zhou Yu sneered in his heart, this Yuenan King really has a good plan.
He wanted to take this opportunity to sow discord and create a rift between himself and the Zhou court.
"You are joking, envoy. My prince is a man of great talent and vision. How could he be as rude and unreasonable as you say?"
Zhou Yu said with a fake smile, "Go back and tell your master that I can't make the decision on this matter. I will give you a reply after I report it to His Highness."
"Sir, our king said that this matter is extremely urgent. Please give us a reply as soon as possible!"
The messenger seemed a little anxious and his tone became tougher.
"Come here, see the guests off!"
However, Zhou Yu ignored him and ordered him to leave.
The messenger wanted to say something, but was grabbed by two burly soldiers and thrown out.
"Mr. Zhou, what exactly is Yue Nanguo up to?"
Xing Daorong couldn't help but ask.
"Humph, they want to bypass Your Highness and surrender directly to the court!"
Zhou Yu sneered, "Unfortunately, they miscalculated. Your Highness had already expected them to do this!"
"Then what do we do now?"
"Just wait and see what happens!"
Zhou Yu's eyes gleamed with a gleam of light, "If my guess is correct, Your Highness is also thinking of delaying the war until the Qiongzhou army is strong enough to fight against the Crown Prince."
at the same time.
Thousands of miles away in Qiongzhou, Chu Yang was leisurely lying on a recliner, listening to Wang Meng's report on the latest battle.
"Your Highness, the Yuenan Kingdom sent an envoy to the Qiongzhou military camp, saying that it wanted to surrender." Wang Meng said.
"Oh? You're going to bypass me and surrender directly to Qiongzhou?"
Chu Yang smiled slightly and put down the teacup in his hand, "Mr. Wang, what do you think about this?"
"Your Highness, the main plan of the Yuenan Kingdom is nothing more than to use this opportunity to sow discord between us and the Great Zhou court."
Wang Meng smiled and said, "However, Your Highness is wise and brave. You have already expected that they would make this move. We just need to stay put and wait and see what happens."
"Mr. Wang is right. I have waited so long not to watch them act."
A cold light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes, "Pass the order down, continue to strengthen the guard, and swagger through the city."
"I want to let the main force of Yuenan Country know that I am waiting here, waiting for him to leave."
"Without my order, no one is allowed to act rashly!"
"Yes!" Wang Meng took the order and left.
"Lord Yuenan, Lord Yuenan, do you really think that I am so easy to fool?"
Chu Yang looked at the sky outside the window, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. "I hope you can hold your temper. If you delay for another month, Qiongzhou will become stronger."
Obviously, Chu Yang was not in a hurry to take over Yuenan Kingdom at this time.
After all, as long as he was attacking the Yuenan Kingdom, there would be a steady stream of militiamen joining him from Qiongzhou.
Time passes day by day.
After being turned away by Zhou Yu, the envoy of Yuenan Kingdom stayed in the military camp, anxiously waiting for the reply from the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, there was no movement from the Zhou Dynasty court, as if they did not take the matter to heart at all. Little did they know that Zhou Yu had not reported it to the higher-ups at all!
The King of Yuenan gradually lost his patience. He sent people to the Qiongzhou military camp to urge them, while at the same time gathering his troops and preparing to launch an attack at any time.
This day.
A spy hurried into Chu Yang's study and knelt on one knee to report.
"Your Highness, the main force of Yuenan Country has begun to gather towards us, and it looks like they are going to attack us!"
"Can you finally bear it?"
A cold light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes, "Pass the order down, assemble the whole army and prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
The spy bowed and accepted the order and left.
At this time, Wang Meng frowned.
"Your Highness, I think the time is almost up. Qiongzhou already has 300,000 soldiers. Why don't you accept Yuenan's surrender?"
"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"
Chu Yang shook his head. “Yuenan Country is ambitious. Their surrender this time is just a temporary measure.”
"If we really accept their surrender and let them become our rear base, that would be truly a disaster!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Wang Meng suddenly realized and quickly bowed and asked, "Then what should we do now?"
“Wait!” Chu Yang’s eyes flashed with a gleam of light, “I want to see what tricks the Lord of Yuenan can come up with!”
Outside Zhennan Pass.
The 300,000-strong Yuenan army covered the entire plain like a black tide, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
The king of Yuenan Kingdom rode a tall black horse, wearing golden armor, and stood majestically in front of the formation.
His face was filled with anger, and his hawk-like eyes were fixed on the flag of the Chuyang Army opposite, as if he wanted to tear it to pieces.
"Chu Yang! You are going too far!"
The ruler of Yuenan State roared, "Your army, Zhang Liao, has been slaughtering people in my Yuenan territory. You must give us an explanation!"
Hearing this, Chu Yang took a sip of tea calmly and spoke slowly.
"Who is Zhang Liao? How come I don't remember having such a person under my command? If he kills your people, go find him, why are you looking for me?"
"you……"
The ruler of Yuenan was so angry that he almost fell off his horse. He pointed at Chu Yang's nose and cursed, "Stop pretending! You sent Zhang Liao to attack the capital of Yuenan. Do you dare to take the responsibility?"
"Oh? You mean the guy named Zhang Liao?"
Chu Yang pretended to be enlightened, "He is no longer my man. He is working alone now. If you want to seek revenge on him, go ahead. I will never stop you."
"You're talking nonsense! How dare he attack my Yuenan Kingdom without your order? Do you really think I'm stupid?"
Chu Yang sneered and said, "If I say it's not true, then it's not true. Believe it or not."
"However, I can show you a way. Instead of wasting your time here with me, you should go back and seek revenge on that guy named Zhang Liao."
"But once you leave, I'm afraid Zhennan Pass will be under my control again!"
"Good! Good! Good! Chu Yang, you are really ruthless! Aren't you afraid that I will break into your camp and tear you into pieces?"
