On the way back, they had to pass through the Kingdom of Baoxiang. Such a mighty fleet naturally attracted the attention of King Dai Luo. He thought that foreign enemies were about to invade. After learning that it was Ye Zhen, King Dai Luo sent a fleet to see her. When he heard that Ye Zhen was going back to fight, he let Zhu Man follow her with 5,000 soldiers and sent her five ships of provisions.
Hundreds of ships braved the wind and waves from the Atlantic Ocean to the inland sea. With Jiang Dachuan controlling the route in front, it didn't take long for them to reach the entrance of the White Dragon River in about four months.
"When we entered the inland sea, I believe everyone noticed us. I'm just not sure if anyone guessed that it was you." Huangfu Chen walked out of the cabin and looked at Ye Zhen standing on the deck. He walked over slowly.
"If no one has noticed us by now, then we may have become ghosts." Ye Zhen smiled faintly. Hundreds of warships suddenly appeared in the inland sea from the Atlantic Ocean. Whether it was Mo Rongzhan or Zhao Yong, they must have begun to be vigilant. If she guessed correctly, the coastal borders of these two countries must have been guarded by the navy.
Huangfu Chen's lips curled into a smile. Such a huge lineup of ghosts was scarier than humans.
"Yao Yao, where should we go next?" Huangfu Chen asked in a low voice. They were already here. Didn't she want to see Mo Rongzhan?
Ye Zhen frowned slightly. When she entered the inland sea, she had already sent people to inquire about what had happened in the Central Plains in the past two years. The Jin State and the Qi State had respectively occupied two-thirds of the land in Xiliang, while the Dongqing State had also lost Pingjing and Donglai. Even Qingzhou had been occupied by the Jin Lou State.
"Dongqing still wants to ally with the Jin. Li Heng is more shameless than I thought." Ye Zhen snorted coldly.
Huangfu Chen sighed softly. "I'm not asking you about Dongqing. I'm asking Ah Zhan. If he knew that you didn't tell him when you came back, he would be angry."
Ye Zhen lowered her eyes. She wanted to find Mo Rongzhan more than anyone else, but they couldn't go to the Jin now. These 100,000 elite soldiers couldn't go to the Jin first. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to control them.
"Let's go to the White Dragon River first." She wanted to enter through the White Dragon River and go straight to the border of Dongqing. Then, she would fight her way to their capital city.
She knew that Mo Rongzhan still hadn't announced the news of her passing. He didn't even let people talk about it. He was waiting for her and the child to return, but … it wasn't time yet. She didn't want to be trapped in the harem under his protection when she returned. She knew that she couldn't help but compromise with him. She wanted to make a decision for herself for once.
Huang Fuchen knew her decision, so he just nodded and didn't say anything else.
"Young lady, the entrance of the White Dragon River is right in front of us. We should be able to arrive in two days." A middle-aged man walked over from behind and said to Ye Zhen in a low voice.
This man was sent by Ye Yiqing to Ye Zhen. His name was Lei Yingchun. Jiang Dachuan was leading the way for the vanguard boat in the front. He knew how to choose the fastest route to the White Dragon River.
"Where do we go ashore?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"Water Ghost Crossing." Lei Yingchun replied, "It's the southernmost sea of Dongqing. Because of the steep cliffs, there are very few border guards. We can go ashore from here, seize the nearest port first, and then go ashore to reorganize the army."
Ye Zhen said, "Let General Shen and General Chi Man come to discuss first."
Shen Luoyang followed behind Shui Yichen. Ye Zhen was a little surprised to see them appear together. She hadn't seen Shui Yichen for a few days. He explained that he was here for Shui Miaomiao, but she heard from Shui Miaomiao that he had already prepared ten ships of provisions in the Southern Province. He didn't want to follow them to the Jin Kingdom on a whim.
Ye Zhen didn't understand Shui Yichen's thoughts. He had prepared so many provisions for her, but he didn't say a word. Even if she wanted to thank him, she didn't know where to start.
"Heavenly Concubine, the great general was our former commander in chief. This time … can you …" Shen Luoyang bowed to Ye Zhen and turned to look at Shui Yichen, deeply afraid that his words would make Shui Yichen unhappy.
Ye Zhen looked at Shui Yichen. Huang Fuchen told her that if Shui Yichen became the commander in chief, he would be more dignified than Shen Luoyang. It wasn't that Shen Luoyang was not as good as Shui Yichen in leading troops. Before Shui Yichen went to the Southern Province, these soldiers were originally brought out by him. Shen Luoyang was still his deputy.
Shui Yichen looked at Shen Luoyang with a heavy gaze. His blue eyes were so cold that it made people feel fear.
Ye Zhen walked in front of Shui Yichen and looked up straight into his eyes. "Shui Yichen, are you willing to be my commander in chief?"
Her commander in chief?
Shui Yichen lowered his eyes to look at her beautiful face. He recalled the first time she appeared in his line of sight.
He had never seen a woman like her who could stand in the crowd with such brilliance and brilliance. Her every frown and smile seemed to burn the eyes of others.
"This general … obeys." Shui Yichen knelt on one knee and looked at Ye Zhen aggressively.
Ye Zhen smiled and reached out to Shen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang immediately handed the commander token in his hand to Ye Zhen.
"Great general, then I will hand over the 100,000 elite soldiers to you." Ye Zhen whispered and handed the token to Shui Yichen.
Shui Yichen looked up at her. "I have not let you down."
Ye Zhen looked ahead. "We are about to reach the White Dragon River. If we go ashore from the Water Ghost Crossing, we can't all go up together. We have to occupy a port first. What do you think, great general?"
"First, we need to know how many guards there are at the nearest port. If there are not many people, we can take the port with just a few hundred of us."
Lei Yingchun said, "From the cliff of the Water Ghost Crossing, the nearest port is twenty miles away. It is the largest port in the south, but because of the Water Ghost Crossing, the port is sparsely populated and has been abandoned for some years. There should not be many soldiers guarding it."
This was because Li Hang would never expect anyone to come ashore from the Water Ghost Crossing.
"Then let Gu Man take some people to take over the port. We will first go ashore and set up camp," Shui Yichen said. "The soldiers of Bao Xiang are good at fighting on cliffs."
"Heavenly Consort, leave the Water Ghost Crossing to us," Gu Man said.
Ye Zhen nodded. "Then we will go ashore from the Water Ghost Crossing and take over the dam first."
When their hundreds of warships appeared at the White Dragon River, the defense generals of the various countries who had been watching and guarding finally realized that these warships were heading for Dongqing. By the time Li Hang learned of the news and wanted to send troops to stop them, it was already too late.
Three days later, Gu Man took over the dam and the port with five hundred soldiers. Ye Zhen ordered all the soldiers to go ashore and set up camp. After reorganizing, they would send troops to flatten Dongqing.
