Chapter 117: Spread the Chapter to the World, Build Momentum
Chu Qi's heart skipped a beat. This kid finally made it clear!
"Seventh brother, what do you mean by this?"
Chu Qi narrowed his eyes, with a hint of vigilance in his tone.
"My meaning is very simple,"
Chu Yang put away his smile and stared at Chu Qi with burning eyes, "Third brother, can you let your forces in the court exert their power and let them teach big brother Chu Zhenzhou a lesson and force him to withdraw his troops?"
"Force him to retreat? Then what?"
Chu Qi asked back calmly.
Chu Yang laughed, as if he had heard a funny joke, "You are asking even though you already know the answer! If Chu Zhenzhou agrees to withdraw his troops."
"Then Chu Hai, Chu Jiang, and Chu He will have to go back in disgrace. They are fighting in the palace, but they don't have military power."
"When the time comes, you will lead a million troops back. Who else can sit firmly on the throne except you?"
Chu Qi's heart suddenly shook, and a surge of blood rushed to his forehead.
Yes, how could he forget that he still had a chance, a chance to ascend the throne he had always dreamed of!
"Seventh brother, are you really willing to..."
Chu Qi's voice trembled a little. He couldn't believe that Chu Yang would say such a thing.
"Between you and me, is there anything we can't trust?"
Chu Yang interrupted Chu Qi and said firmly, "Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
"I have no interest in that throne at all!"
"I just want to lead the army to fight, expand the territory for the Great Zhou, and make great achievements!"
Chu Yang's words were like a shot of adrenaline, completely igniting the long-extinguished ambition in Chu Qi's heart.
"Okay! Seventh brother, I promise you!"
Chu Qi stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with excitement, "I will contact my old subordinates in the court and ask them to teach Chu Zhenzhou a lesson!"
"Hahaha! Great! I knew you wouldn't let me down, Third Brother!"
Chu Yang laughed and patted Chu Qi on the shoulder, with a barely perceptible gleam in his eyes.
After settling Chu Qi.
Chu Yang returned to the study alone and looked at the map, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought.
Attacking Japan is by no means an easy task.
The Japanese Archipelago has many islands with complex terrain, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Moreover, the Japanese are good at naval warfare, and their samurai spirit is even more terrifying.
late at night.
A fragrant breeze blew by, and Shangguan Wan'er pushed the door open lightly, breaking the tranquility in the study.
"Your Highness, are you still awake?"
Chu Yang turned his head and looked at the stunning beauty in front of him, a smile forming on his lips.
"How did you come?"
Shangguan Wan'er walked up to Chu Yang, her eyes fell on the map, and she said softly, "Nothing, I just came to see you. I heard that you were going to attack Japan, so I wanted to come and learn from you."
Chu Yang laughed and pointed at the map and said, "What do you want to learn? You are more talented than me. You need to be more concerned about the deployment of troops and the planning of the battle."
"Your Highness, you are joking. Wan'er doesn't have that ability. She is just giving advice from the side."
Chu Yang put away his smile and said seriously, "Wan'er, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Your Highness, please tell me. Wan'er will do her best." Shangguan Wan'er said without hesitation.
Chu Yang walked to the desk, picked up a blank bamboo scroll, and handed it to Shangguan Wan'er.
"Can you write an article praising me as the Great Zhou's God of War? When the war between me and Japan begins, you can publish the battle situation every three days. I want the people of the Great Zhou to know that there are people fighting for them at the border!"
Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded excitedly, "Okay, I'll write it right away!"
She understood that Chu Yang was going to wage a war of public opinion, in order to get the people of the Great Zhou to back him up and support him in his attack on Japan.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely make you into an invincible hero!"
Shangguan Wan'er said this confidently, with admiration shining in her eyes.
Chu Yang looked at Shangguan Wan'er's departing back, with a playful smile on his face.
As expected of a talented lady from the Great Zhou Dynasty, she is extremely smart and can understand things at a glance.
The next morning.
Chu Yang got up early, came to the training ground, and began to train his soldiers.
He knew that if he wanted to attack Japan, he had to build an elite army.
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er came up with a stack of letters. She had dark circles under her eyes, obviously having stayed up late.
Walking to Chu Yang's side, she gently placed the letter on the table, rubbed her sore wrist, and said coquettishly.
"Your Highness, you are really embarrassing Wan'er. Writing hundreds of words has exhausted me."
Chu Yang picked up the letter and flipped through a few pages at random. He saw the following words written on it:
"The seventh prince of the Great Zhou, Chu Yang, is known as the 'Great Zhou God of War'. He is a genius, wise and brave, with great ambitions and a heart for the world!"
"Now I see the barbarians from Japan repeatedly invading my Great Zhou sea borders, killing my people and looting my property. They deserve to be killed!"
"This prince has decided to lead the army to the west to conquer Japan, to expand the territory of the Great Zhou and enhance our national prestige! Anyone who offends the Great Zhou will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
"How is it? How is this article? Is it domineering enough?"
Shangguan Wan'er looked at Chu Yang expectantly, like a primary school student waiting for her teacher to mark her homework.
Chu Yang put down the letter and laughed loudly: "Good! Good! Good! Wan'er is really my good wife. This article is so domineering and inspiring! With this article, this prince will be able to boost morale and conquer Japan in one fell swoop!"
Shangguan Wan'er felt a little embarrassed by Chu Yang's praise, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she said shyly.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
"The next step is, of course, to spread these articles!"
Chu Yang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said in a deep voice.
"Your Highness is wise!"
Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately understood Chu Yang's intention.
On that day, these articles praising Chu Yang spread rapidly throughout the streets and alleys and throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty as if they had wings.
The people were discussing the Seventh Prince, the God of War, and many of them were full of admiration and worship for Chu Yang.
"Have you heard? The Seventh Prince is going to lead his troops to attack Japan!"
"Is this true? Japan is a barbarian land overseas, it's extremely dangerous!"
"What are you afraid of? The Seventh Prince is an invincible god of war. With him here, we will surely win!"
As time went on, these discussions grew louder.
The news soon spread to the imperial city.
Chu Zhenzhou was lying on a soft couch, being fed grapes by two pretty palace maids.
Hearing the news, he frowned and almost bit the palace maid's slender fingers.
"What did you say? Seventh brother wants to fight against Japan?"
Chu Zhenzhou sat up straight, with a hint of displeasure in his tone, "Why would he leave the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Central Plains and go to that wild land?"
"Your Highness, I heard this from someone in the palace, so I don't know the details."
The palace maid who was speaking lowered her head and trembled slightly, fearing that the prince would blame her.
Chu Zhenzhou waved his hand, signaling the palace maid to leave, and paced around the room alone, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.
"Seventh brother, seventh brother, you are so calculating!"
"Is this to build momentum for yourself?"
