Chapter 156 1 Exploring the Reality, the Vanguard Asks for Directions
"Oh, she claims to be from Zhenyuan City. She said that the city lord there killed her entire family. She came to me and wanted me to avenge her."
"Oh? Then how does Your Highness plan to deal with this?"
Yang Yuhuan asked, with a barely perceptible hint of jealousy in her tone.
"Zhenyuan City..." Chu Yang stroked his chin, pretending to be in deep thought, "I have to go and take a look."
"See? Your Highness means that we want to attack Zhenyuan City?"
Yang Yuhuan covered her mouth and screamed, her beautiful eyes wide open.
"Why, Yuhuan feels something is wrong?"
Chu Yang asked, raising an eyebrow, with a hint of amusement in his tone.
"I dare not discuss your decision, Your Highness. I just think that the woman's words may not be exaggerated. Your Highness needs to consider it carefully."
"Yuhuan is right, but I have already promised her this matter, I can't go back on my word, right?"
Chu Yang said, reaching out and holding Yang Yuhuan's hand, saying softly, "Besides, my husband is away at the battleground, how can I let you stay alone? This time I will bring you with me, so that you can see how powerful I am."
Yang Yuhuan glared at him coquettishly, but her heart was sweet.
She knew that Chu Yang was trying to cheer her up in disguise. After all, how could he lead a soldier into battle with a woman?
Chu Yang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Yang Yuhuan stopped asking questions.
He called the guards and ordered, "Go, call Sima Yi and Wang Meng. I have something important to discuss with you."
Not long after.
Sima Yi and Wang Meng came to Chu Yang's study.
"Your Highness, why did you call us here?"
Sima Yi asked with a bow, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
"Two military advisors, please look."
Chu Yang said, spreading a map on the table, "This is a topographic map of Zhenyuan City and its surrounding areas."
Sima Yi and Wang Meng went forward to take a closer look and saw that Zhenyuan City was located on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The terrain was dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"Your Highness, do you want to use military force against Zhenyuan City?" Wang Meng asked, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.
"good."
Chu Yang nodded. "The Lord of Zhenyuan City bullies men and women and exploits the common people. I want to eliminate him and set an example for others."
"Your Highness, Zhenyuan City is in a strategic location, with high walls and deep moats, and there are many defenders in the city. If we attack rashly, we will probably suffer heavy losses." Sima Yi said in surprise.
"Yes, if Your Highness mobilizes troops now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Emperor Yongning to handle it."
Wang Meng nodded and agreed, "Besides, behind Zhenyuan City is Yuenan Kingdom. Once our army attacks Zhenyuan City, Yuenan Kingdom will definitely send troops to intervene. By then, our army will be attacked from both sides, and the consequences will be disastrous."
Chu Yang frowned slightly. He knew that what the two military advisors said made sense, but there was an unknown fire burning in his heart.
He thought of Diao Chan's sad expression, and his heart was filled with anger.
Moreover, if we don’t expand our base quickly now, it will be difficult to deal with the war against Emperor Yongning in the future.
Now I only have three cities, which is totally not enough.
"Are we just going to let that bully get away with it?"
Chu Yang asked in a deep voice, with a hint of unwillingness in his tone.
"Your Highness, calm down."
Seeing this, Sima Yi quickly said, "I am not saying that we cannot attack Zhenyuan City, but I think we need to take a long-term view and formulate a foolproof strategy."
"Oh? Mr. Sima, what brilliant idea do you have? Feel free to tell me about it." Chu Yang became interested when he heard that.
"In my opinion, we can first send someone to sneak into Zhenyuan City to find out the real situation in the city before making any plans."
Sima Yi pondered for a moment and said slowly, "At the same time, we can send people to Yuenan Kingdom to investigate their movements and see if they will intervene in this matter."
"Well, Mr. Sima, this is a brilliant plan." Wang Meng nodded in agreement, "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."
"Okay, let's follow the advice of the two military advisors."
Chu Yang made the decision and said, "Mr. Sima, you should immediately send someone to Zhenyuan City to find out the number of defenders in the city, their weapons and equipment, and their food and grass reserves."
"Yes, Your Highness." Sima Yi bowed and accepted the order.
"Wang Meng, you are responsible for sending people to Yuenan Country to investigate their strengths and weaknesses."
"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Meng also bowed and accepted the order.
"This matter is of great importance. The two military advisors must act with caution." Chu Yang warned.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Sima Yi and Wang Meng responded in unison.
After the two military advisors left, Chu Yang stood alone in front of the map, staring intently in the direction of Zhenyuan City.
"Zhenyuan City, I will definitely crush you to the ground!"
Chu Yang swore secretly in his heart.
He knew that if he really wanted to defeat Emperor Yongning's million-strong army without bloodshed, he only needed ten cities and more than 600,000 soldiers.
Otherwise, that battle will be very difficult!
at the same time.
Zhenyuan City, a hundred miles away.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, a fat, big-eared man with a face full of flesh was hugging two women and having fun.
"Lord City Lord, do you love me that much?"
"That's right, Lord City Lord?"
The two women's voices were tingling.
"Hahaha, this city lord likes you guys just like this!"
The fat man laughed.
This person was none other than the Lord of Zhenyuan City, named Zhao De, a penniless dandy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a guard ran in in a panic, knelt on the ground, and reported loudly.
"Lord City Lord, something terrible has happened! A group of people came from outside the city, claiming to be the Seventh Prince of the Great Zhou, and they want to see you!"
"what?!"
Zhao De was sobered up by the words and pushed the woman away, shouting, "The Seventh Prince of the Great Zhou? What is he doing here?!"
"I don't know, little one."
The guard said tremblingly, "But judging from their appearance, they are here with ill intentions!"
"Damn it! These damn guys actually dared to come here and act wildly!"
Zhao De cursed angrily, with a fierce look in his eyes, "Come here, follow this city lord out to take a look!"
"Yes!"
Soon, Zhao De brought a group of people to the city gate tower.
He looked carefully and saw a large group of people standing outside the city, numbering at least several thousand.
These soldiers were dressed in uniform black armor, holding shining swords and spears, and each of them was murderous. It was obvious at first glance that they were an elite force.
At the front of the team stood a large flag with a huge "Chu" character embroidered on it.
"It turns out they are the Seventh Prince of the Great Zhou's men!"
"Zhao De, come out and die!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from below the city, like a bolt from the blue, making Zhao De's ears buzz.
He looked closely and saw a general wearing silver armor and holding a mountain axe, riding a tall horse, slowly walking towards him.
"You, who are you?"
"I am the unrivaled general under the command of the Seventh Prince of the Great Zhou, Xing Daorong!"
When Zhao De heard Xing Daorong, he was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that it was the Japanese killer god Xing Daorong!
Just as he was surprised, a deputy general whispered beside him.
"Lord City Lord, I see there are a thousand people coming over here. Should we go down and meet them?"
"Don't leave the city easily. You need to ask the military advisor about this matter."
With 600,000 soldiers, Yuenan Kingdom could be destroyed in three months, and Japan could be easily captured as well."
