Chapter 128: Fighting to support the war, relying on looting for food and money

Toyotomi Hideyoshi looked pale, his eyes filled with fear and despair.

He never expected that the defense he had carefully arranged would be so vulnerable!

"This Chu Yang actually decided the first battle!"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi murmured to himself, his tone full of unwillingness and despair.

He gritted his teeth unwillingly, waved his hand violently, and roared: "Retreat! Retreat to the capital for this general!"

The Japanese warriors retreated like a tide, leaving behind corpses and broken weapons.

He gritted his teeth and looked at the black fleet in the distance that covered the sky, his heart filled with humiliation and resentment.

"Chu Yang! I, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, will never forgive you!"

His resentful voice was blown away by the sea breeze and disappeared along the vast coastal line.

Chu Yang looked at Toyotomi Hideyoshi's fleeing back, a sneer of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, you defeated general, are you worthy enough to shout in front of my Highness?"

He turned around and said to Zhou Yu behind him: "Pass the order, return to the ship! Go to the next landing point."

Zhou Yu was slightly stunned, and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, why don't we seize the opportunity to pursue and capture the elite troops of Japan in one fell swoop?"

"Or, we can spread rumors that we have already reached the capital of Japan."

"Or, wait until the three armies merge and then launch an all-out attack!"

Chu Yang shook his head, a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

"No hurry. Those guys in the capital are all very rich. Let them live a few more days. I need to go get some food and money now."

Zhou Yu suddenly realized, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It seems that all the previous plans have been forgotten by His Highness.

This guy had no intention of playing by the rules at all. He just robbed whatever he could wherever he went!

"Your Highness is wise."

Zhou Yu said this with his hands clasped, but secretly complained in his heart: This is not wise at all, it is clearly robbery!

a few days later.

Chu Yang's fleet appeared on another undefended coastline in Japan.

"Your Highness, the landing port is ahead. There is no heavy guard here, only a small fishing town."

Zhou Yu pointed at the map and reported the military situation to Chu Yang.

"Fishing town?"

Chu Yang's eyes lit up, like a hungry wolf that found its prey, "How many are there alive?"

"Uh……"

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment. His Highness's focus was really different. "Your Highness, there are about two to three thousand people, among whom are young and middle-aged people..."

"Kill all the men, as for the women..."

Chu Yang showed a smile that every man could understand, "Use local materials to reward the soldiers!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

The generals around suddenly cheered excitedly. They had heard about the taste of Japanese women a long time ago, and now they finally had the opportunity to experience it for themselves.

"Kill!"

Following Chu Yang's order, the soldiers of the Great Zhou rushed towards the peaceful fishing town like a tide, instantly breaking the tranquility there.

Screams, cries, and pleas for mercy, mixed with the sound of weapons clashing, echoed in the sea breeze, like hell on earth.

Chu Yang stood on a high place, watching all this coldly, without a trace of pity or sympathy on his face.

"This is war! The strong prey on the weak, and the winners take all! If you want to survive, show your worth!"

He smiled coldly, with a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes, like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.

"Your Highness, we are rich!"

A general covered in blood came over, dragging a carriage full of jewels.

Chu Yang looked at the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He waved his hand and said proudly: "Brothers, these are all yours! From now on, we will completely defeat Japan, wherever we go, we will fight!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding soldiers suddenly became excited and the cheers were deafening.

"Your Highness is mighty!"

"Kill all the Japanese!"

"Rob all their gold, silver and treasures!"

"Take away all their food!"

Chu Yang pressed his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said: "From now on, everything you grab when attacking a town will belong to you! Your Highness, I will never break my promise!"

"Long live your highness!"

The morale of the soldiers was pushed to the peak by Chu Yang.

There was a gleam of greed and excitement in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to rush ashore, kill everyone and plunder wealth.

Zhou Yu watched all this with mixed feelings.

He understood that although Chu Yang's actions could greatly boost morale, they also laid hidden dangers.

Once the army loses its restraint, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Your Highness, if you do this, will it be..."

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but remind him.

"Zhou Yu, you are just too cautious."

Chu Yang interrupted Zhou Yu, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Your Highness knows what you are worried about, but don't worry, Your Highness knows what to do."

"I am not here to fight this war. I want to destroy Japan!"

Zhou Yu opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.

He understood that Chu Yang had already made up his mind and it would be useless for him to persuade him.

"Pass the order down. Rest for a day and continue the march tomorrow!"

Chu Yang waved his hand and gave the order.

The next day, Chu Yang's fleet set sail again and headed towards the next target.

Along the way, Zhou Yu was always worried.

He always felt that Chu Yang's trip to Japan this time was full of variables, and these variables might very well lead them into an abyss from which there was no return.

"Sir, what are you worried about?"

Noticing Zhou Yu's abnormality, Chu Yang walked up and asked with a smile.

"Your Highness, I just think that burning, killing and looting along the way is a bit inhumane!"

Zhou Yu hesitated, not knowing how to express his concerns.

"Some what? Somewhat excessive? Somewhat cruel?"

Chu Yang said what Zhou Yu hadn't finished saying, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, you are still too naive! There is no right or wrong in this world, only strong and weak! The weak can only be slaughtered by others, and the strong can do whatever they want!"

"But……"

"No buts!"

Chu Yang interrupted Zhou Yu again, "Remember, we are here to conquer Japan, not to reason with them!"

"If you want them to surrender, you must scare them!"

"Only when they truly see how powerful we are will they kneel down at our feet!"

Chu Yang's words made Zhou Yu fall into deep thought.

He had to admit that although Chu Yang's words were cruel, they made sense.

"I understand." Zhou Yu finally chose to compromise.

"As long as you know."

Chu Yang patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go and meet those Japanese warriors and see how powerful they are!"
