Chapter 217: The mutiny plan is slow to take effect

At this time, Han Xin took a deep breath, crumpled the letter into a ball, and threw it hard on the ground.

"There is no time to lose, let's go back to Kyoto!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang looked serious: "General Han, the journey to Kyoto is long, and the situation in the Great Zhou is still unclear. Wouldn't it be too risky for us to just go back like this?"

"Mr. Zhang, you are still too cautious!"

Han Xin waved his hand and said with great pride, "Now that the Turks have been destroyed, I have 50,000 elite soldiers in my hands. It is a great opportunity to make achievements!"

"What's more, His Highness the Seventh Prince is a man of great talent and vision. If we support him as the emperor, he will be granted the title of nobility and appointed as prime minister in the future!"

Xiao He frowned and said thoughtfully, "That being said, we know nothing about the situation in Kyoto. If we go back rashly, we might fall into the trap of the treacherous people!"

"Why are you so timid?"

Han Xin slammed the table, stood up, and said loudly, "Now that the old Emperor Yongning has become a lonely man, isn't the capital city in our pocket?"

"In my opinion, we should charge directly into the palace, force that old man to abdicate, and support His Highness the Seventh Prince to ascend the throne, and then do the most important thing!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang and Xiao He couldn't help but gasp.

Han Xin was so bold that he actually wanted to force the emperor to abdicate and rebel?

"General Han, this is absolutely not allowed!"

Zhang Liang quickly dissuaded them, "Emperor Yongning is the legitimate monarch after all. If we charge directly into the palace, wouldn't we be considered traitors?"

"If this gets out, how will people in the world view us? And how will His Highness the Seventh Prince cope with this?"

Seeing that the two were still hesitating, Han Xin continued to lobby.

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, it has been like this since ancient times! As long as we can control Kyoto, who will care about these empty names?"

"Besides, the Great Zhou is in turmoil right now. If we wait until the other princes react, we will be in a passive position!"

"Moreover, if the Western tribes attack us now, relying on that useless Emperor Yongning, the Great Zhou will be in danger!"

"This……"

Zhang Liang wanted to persuade him further but was interrupted by Han Xin.

"Okay, it's settled! Mr. Zhang, you are resourceful and you will be responsible for giving me advice."

"Mr. Xiao, you are proficient in logistics, so you will be responsible for the food and supplies."

"If the three of us work together, we will surely succeed!"

Seeing that Han Xin was determined, Zhang Liang and Xiao He didn't know what to say.

But my heart is still full of worries.

"General Han, even if we want to return to Kyoto, how are these 50,000 troops supposed to enter the capital? We can't just fight our way in, right?" Zhang Liang asked.

Han Xin sneered, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. I have already made a plan. There are not many available people around Emperor Yongning now, and those imperial guards probably can't be mobilized."

"This……"

Zhang Liang was stunned. Isn't this move too cruel?

Start forcing the emperor to abdicate directly?

"This matter is of great importance. Shouldn't we discuss it with His Majesty the Seventh Prince first?"

Han Xin waved his hands impatiently: "It's too late! We are now far away in the westernmost part of the Great Zhou, while His Majesty the Seventh Prince is far away in Japan. It will take at least twenty days to go back and forth. By the time the news gets here, it will be too late!"

"Well! All right then."

Zhang Liang sighed helplessly, but felt even more uneasy.

Han Xin insists on his own way, and this time when he returns to Kyoto, I'm afraid it will cause a bloody storm!

"Without further delay, I'll go get ready!"

Han Xin said this and turned and walked out of the tent.

"Mr. Zhang, how about I go to Kyoto to check out the situation?"

At this time, Xiao He suddenly spoke.

Zhang Liang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"You mean?"

"That's right. I plan to go to Kyoto first to investigate. If we can convince some ministers to speak for us, your chances of winning will be greater."

"Okay! Let's follow Mr. Xiao's plan!"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes.

Xiao He nodded, then turned and left, beginning to prepare for his trip to Kyoto.

Watching Xiao He leave, Zhang Liang looked towards the direction of Kyoto and murmured to himself, "Seventh Prince, I hope good things will come to you."

the other side.

Ise Castle in Japan.

Chu Yang paced back and forth in the room with an irritated look on his face, muttering to himself.

"This Chu Zhenzhou must be born in the Year of the Dog, why is he so difficult to deal with!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Although Chu Zhenzhou is a fool, he still has Liu Ji to help him with his plans. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for us to win a quick victory."

Xun Yu stood aside, explaining slowly and leisurely, trying to calm Chu Yang down.

"Mr. Xun, we have been fighting for so long, why haven't we seen any mutiny among Chu Zhenzhou's troops? Are they really going to fight us to the death?"

Chu Yang stopped and looked at Xun Yu with a puzzled look.

"Your Highness, don't forget that this army is the elite of the Great Zhou. Their loyalty is extraordinary. It will take time to incite them to rebel."

Xun Yu smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in his eyes, "However, I have already planted the seeds in their army, and they will take root and sprout when the time is right."

"What seeds? How come I don't know?" Chu Yang looked curious.

Xun Yu smiled pretentiously but did not give a direct answer. He just said, "Your Highness, just wait for the right time. Everything is under control."

Chu Yang curled his lips. He was no longer able to complain about Xun Yu's habit of speaking halfway.

"Report!"

At this time, a scout ran in hurriedly, knelt on one knee and reported.

"Your Highness, our scouts have discovered that Chu Zhenzhou's food and supplies are being transported from the sea and are expected to arrive in three days!"

"Food and fodder? Hahaha, God is really helping me!"

Chu Yang's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Now our main force is intercepting Chu Zhenzhou's food and fodder ships at sea. I don't believe they can fight without food!"

Hearing Chu Yang's plan, Xun Yu frowned and pondered.

"Your Highness, this plan is brilliant, but if we move all our main forces to the sea, what will happen to the defense of the cities?"

"What are you afraid of? Then we won't defend it. Anyway, we can continue to retreat to the southern part of Japan. I don't believe he can chase us to the ends of the earth!"

"This……"

Xun Yu wanted to persuade him again, but seeing that Chu Yang had made up his mind, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Just as Chu Yang was about to give the order, a guard ran in hurriedly.

"Report!"

"Your Highness, a captain from the rebel camp sent a letter saying that he has something important to report!"

"Oh? Captain?"

Chu Yang raised his eyebrows, with a vague premonition in his heart.

Could it be that the 'seeds' that Xun Yu had planted before have sprouted?

He quickly took the letter and opened it impatiently, only to see the following words:

"His Highness the Seventh Prince was kind and righteous, and did not launch a large-scale attack on our army."

"But my army is under the order of the Great Zhou Emperor and has no choice but to attack. If His Majesty the Seventh Prince can be crowned emperor, there may be an imperial decree."

"I can unite with other captains to surrender. The total number of people is 180,000!"

At this moment, Chu Yang looked at the letter in his hand, his brows furrowed, and his heart was filled with annoyance.
