After occupying the port by the side dam, Ye Zhen ordered all the warships to line up and dock. A hundred thousand elite soldiers went ashore and set up camp. After three days of rest, they seized five cities in Dongqing Kingdom like a hot knife through butter. The army sent by Li Heng finally arrived and confronted the army led by Shui Yichen.
Dongqing sent out Cui Yang. He had just lost Qingzhou not long ago. He thought that he could redeem himself with meritorious service this time. However, when he rushed over from the capital city, he realized that the other party was unstoppable. It was no longer something that Dongqing could resist.
"Who do you think the other party's commander is?" Cui Yang asked the general who was defeated a few days ago. Dongqing had already lost 10 cities. If they did not turn the situation around, they would even lose the capital.
"It's someone I've never heard of. I heard his name is Shui Yichen. I didn't find out anything else. He's not from here. I'm afraid he's from overseas," General Li said.
Cui Yang frowned. "Shui Yichen?"
He had never heard of this name. If he was from overseas, why was he only targeting Dongqing? Did he have a grudge against Dongqing?
"General Cui, I suspect … the other party is related to Lord Ye," General Li said in a low voice.
Cui Yang raised his head suddenly. "What?"
"I saw Jiang Dachuan and Lei Yingchun." These two left with Ye Yiqing. Now that they were here, what about Ye Yiqing?
"Impossible!" Cui Yang's face was gloomy. "The other party has at least 100,000 elite soldiers. Ye Yiqing has only been away for two years. Where did he find so many people?"
Even if there was a small island country overseas, it was impossible for Ye Yiqing to return so many people. Those warships and weapons were not easy to gather.
He did not believe that Ye Yiqing's ability was so extraordinary.
But if it was really …
"General Cui, the other party sent a letter saying that they want to hand it over to you." A deputy came in with a letter and handed it to Cui Yang.
Cui Yang frowned slightly. He did not understand why the other party would send him a letter.
He took the letter and opened it. He saw the beautiful handwriting on the paper. When he finished reading the letter, his face became even more gloomy.
General Li and the other deputies looked at each other. "General, what happened?"
Cui Yang took a deep breath. "It's not Lord Ye who brought the troops back."
Everyone visibly relaxed. It was good that it was not Ye Yiqing. If it was him, they did not know how to deal with him.
"Lord Ye's daughter has returned from the Atlantic Ocean! She said she wanted to go to Dongqing. " Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, Cui Yang threw another bomb at them, shocking everyone so much that they couldn't recover from their shock.
"You mean … the Empress of Jin Country?" General Li asked uncertainly.
"That's right, it's Lu Yaoyao," Cui Yang said in a low voice.
Someone stammered, "Could it be that the Jin wants to start a war again?"
Cui Yang shook his head solemnly. "No, it has nothing to do with the Jin Nation. Lu Yaoyao said that she just wanted to take back what belonged to her father and daughter."
"What do you mean by that? What did the letter say? "General Li asked.
"She advised me not to be in such a hurry to fight, lest I lose too unsightly. Shui Yichen won't be lenient towards us. If we wait for Ye Chunnan to come, he might be lenient towards us." Cui Yang said.
General Li felt suffocated. Your mother's words were a slap to the face! They were completely looking down on Dongqing, weren't they?
"General Cui, we will kick them out of Dongqing tomorrow."
"Yes, that's right! So what if it's Lu Yaoyao? She's going too far. "
"…"
Everyone was furious, feeling humiliated by Ye Zhen's letter. Only Cui Yang's face was unusually heavy.
Since Lu Yaoyao dared to write this letter, it meant that she didn't put Dongqing in her eyes at all. In fact, she wrote this letter for Ye Chunnan's sake.
"General Cui, are you afraid?" General Li asked with a frown.
Cui Yang did not speak. He was not afraid of a war, but if they were to be completely wiped out this time, no one in Dongqing could resist Lu Yaoyao's 100,000 troops.
"This matter must be reported to the Emperor first." Cui Yang said.
"General Cui, won't we become a laughing stock?" General Li held his breath.
Cui Yang looked at them. "General Li, you have fought with Shui Yichen. What are our chances of winning?"
General Li's face was ugly. There was no chance of winning. Not to mention that the other party's troops were several times more than theirs, based on the war he had experienced, even if they had the same number of troops, they would undoubtedly lose.
"We are not opponents. We can only negotiate."
…
…
Jin Kingdom, Jingdu, Ye family's mansion.
Ye Chunnan held the letter he had just received in his hand. After reading it, he was dazed for a long time. It was Jin Shanshan who came in and called him a few times.
"Why are you in a daze?" Jin Shanshan walked into the study with her big belly and saw Ye Chunnan sitting behind the armchair in a daze. She smiled and walked over.
Ye Chunnan held her hand. "Yao Yao's letter."
Jin Shanshan's face lit up. "Really? There is news of Yao Yao? "
"She took 100,000 troops to attack Dongqing. She asked me to find her …" Ye Chunnan showed the letter in his hand to Jin Shanshan. "100,000 elite troops. She wants Dongqing."
"What?" Jin Shanshan was stunned. She must have misheard. She took the letter and looked at Ye Chunnan, dumbfounded. "It's true. Yao Yao … how did she do it?"
Ye Chunnan laughed bitterly. "I want to know too. My sister seems to have many miraculous encounters. Father didn't come back with her this time. Zhao Yang Madam gave birth to a son. Father stayed in Hua Nation to take care of her."
Jin Shanshan still couldn't understand how all this happened. "It's only been two years … how did Yao Yao get 100,000 elite troops?"
"I'm afraid we won't know until Yao Yao comes back. Shanshan … I have to find Yao Yao. You …" If he went to Dongqing now, he wouldn't be by her side when Shanshan gave birth.
Jin Shanshan said, "I'm fine. Hurry to the palace. His Majesty has missed Yao Yao so much these two years. He might not know about Yao Yao yet."
"Then I'll go to the palace first." Ye Chunnan nodded.
At the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Mo Rongzhan listened to Ye Chunnan's words. He didn't speak for a long time before asking, "Yao Yao wrote you a letter?"
She had looked for Ye Chunnan, but there was no news from him at all?
Ye Chunnan smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I have nothing to do now. I want to go to Dongqing."
He wanted to go too! But Yao Yao didn't think of him at all! Mo Rongzhan felt a mouthful of blood in his chest.
"What does Yao Yao want you to do?" Mo Rongzhan asked coldly.
"Lead the troops for her." Ye Chunnan felt that Mo Rongzhan's expression looked a little strange. He smiled and asked casually, "Your Majesty, has Yao Yao not sent you a letter?"
Mo Rongzhan's lips curled into a smile. "She probably doesn't remember who I am."
Ye Chunnan felt a sour resentment hit him in the face.
