"promise!"
After everyone left, Chu Yang stood up and walked to the window, looking at the bustling street scene outside the window, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Will Chu Zhenzhou really play by the rules?"
He always felt that things were not that simple, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
At this time.
Xun Yu walked in from outside the palace, bowed and said, "Your Highness, you are looking for me?"
"Mr. Xun is here, please take a seat."
Chu Yang came back to his senses and quickly asked Xun Yu to sit down. Then he asked directly, "Sir, how do you think we should deal with this battle?"
Xun Yu was slightly stunned, as if he was a little surprised by Chu Yang's question. After pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for being blunt, but it is best not to fight this battle."
"Hmm? No fight? What do you mean sir?"
"Your Highness, don't forget that the troops Chu Zhenzhou brought are also from our Great Zhou!"
Xun Yu sighed, with a bit of helplessness and sadness in his tone, "In this war, no matter who wins or loses, the ones who will be lost in the end are the elite of our Great Zhou!"
"Sir, what you said is absolutely right, but...isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?"
Chu Yang frowned. He went to war all over the world not to kill each other.
"It's not that there is no way, but..."
"Sir, it's okay to say so!"
"I dare to ask, Your Highness, have you ever thought about negotiating peace with the Crown Prince?"
Xun Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Your Highness has now conquered Yuenan and Dongying, and is about to point his sword at the Xiongnu. Looking at the emperors of our Great Zhou Dynasty, how many people can match this achievement?"
Chu Yang was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, you mean to use these military exploits to exchange for peace?"
Xun Yu nodded: "That's right! With your great military achievements, even if you let the Crown Prince continue to supervise the country, or even..."
He paused, lowered his voice and said, "Even... it's not impossible to let the prince ascend the throne directly!"
"what?!"
Chu Yang stood up suddenly and looked at Xun Yu in disbelief, "Sir, how could you say such a thing!"
"Your Highness, calm down!"
Xun Yu quickly stood up and bowed, "I am only thinking about the overall situation. Your Highness, please think twice!"
Chu Yang was silent. He paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, and Xun Yu's words echoed in his mind.
Let Chu Zhenzhou continue to supervise the country? Even let him become the emperor!
This was something Chu Yang had never dared to imagine before, but now it actually happened.
"Sir, have you ever told anyone else what you said?" Chu Yang suddenly stopped and turned around to ask.
Xun Yu was stunned, and quickly shook his head and said, "This matter is of great importance, I have only told Your Highness."
Chu Yang looked at Xun Yu deeply for a long time before he sighed.
"Sir, I appreciate your kindness. But you don't know Chu Zhenzhou well enough. He will never agree to it."
"Why did Your Highness say this?"
Chu Yang turned around, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Chu Zhenzhou is narrow-minded, and he only cares about his hegemony for thousands of years. He will not tolerate a prince like me who has a million soldiers."
"Now that I'm more mature, he hates me even more."
"Even Emperor Yongning couldn't tolerate this man, so how could he tolerate a brother like me? So this battle is only a matter of time."
"This……"
Xun Yu was speechless for a moment. It's not that he hadn't thought about what Chu Yang said, but he always felt that no matter how stupid Chu Zhenzhou was, he would not joke about the safety of the entire Great Zhou.
And now listening to what Chu Yang said, this Chu Zhenzhou is a man even more cruel than Emperor Yongning!
"Sir, do you think I want to fight?"
Chu Yang's voice suddenly became deep, "I fought all over the world, not to kill, but to protect!"
"Protect this land and the people on this land!"
"Otherwise, this king would not be so focused on conquering foreign tribes."
"But Your Highness, is there no other way?"
Xun Yu said anxiously, "If this battle breaks out, there will be rivers of blood and countless lives lost!"
"Don't worry, I won't let this happen."
Chu Yang's eyes flashed with determination, "I will definitely win this battle! I will let Chu Zhenzhou know that he is wrong! He is so wrong!"
"Your Highness..."
Xun Yu wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Chu Yang.
"Sir, I have made up my mind. There is no need to say more."
Chu Yang's tone was firm and unquestionable. "Pass the order down, all troops must assemble, and in three days, we will hold a swearing-in ceremony!"
"promise!"
Xun Yu sighed. He knew that a battle involving an army of more than two million would be a bloody one.
He just didn't expect that he would actually witness all this!
And they are all soldiers of the Great Zhou!
Three days later.
Outside the capital of Japan.
On the parade ground, a million soldiers were lined up in a black mass, with no end in sight.
These soldiers came from all over the world, some from the Central Plains, some from Qiongzhou, and some from the coastal counties of the Great Zhou.
On the high platform.
Chu Yang, wearing his battle armor, glanced at the dark army below the stage.
"Commanders!"
Chu Yang's voice was like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the training grounds.
"I have been practicing martial arts since I was young and fighting on the battlefield. What is the purpose? To protect the country and the people of my Great Zhou!"
"But now, Crown Prince Chu Zhenzhou has disregarded the relationship between father and son, and the loyalty between monarch and subject. He has placed Emperor Yongning under house arrest and sent troops to attack me! He deserves death!"
At this point, Chu Yang's voice became even deeper.
"As the prince of the Great Zhou, how can I sit back and do nothing? Today, I, Chu Yang, swear here that I will bring the traitor Chu Zhenzhou to justice, rescue my father, and restore peace to the Great Zhou!"
"I swear to follow His Highness till death and defeat the traitor!"
The soldiers below the stage were excited and raised their weapons and shouted loudly.
Chu Yang nodded slightly, pressed his hand, and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"This king knows that everyone present here is from the Great Zhou, and they are all friends, brothers, and even relatives of Chu Zhenzhou's army."
"I don't want to see the soldiers of my Great Zhou killing each other!"
"So, I will give you a chance today, a chance to make great achievements!"
Having said this, Chu Yang paused deliberately and glanced at the audience below. The soldiers were all holding their breath, waiting for his next words.
"I hereby order that if you can persuade the enemy soldiers to revolt, I will grant you the land of Japan! You will become the kings of Japan with different surnames!"
"boom!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the audience.
Kings of different surnames! This battle will crown kings of different surnames, and there are so many of them!
"Your Highness, are you serious about this?"
A burly general stood out from the crowd.
Chu Yang smiled slightly: "My words are golden, how can I go back on them?"
"If we can defeat the enemy without bloodshed in this battle, then everyone present will join the ranks of those who will divide Japan."
"Moreover, I will distribute all the Japanese people to you as servants. You will be the farmers of Japan in the future!"
