Chapter 216 Civil turmoil!

It is human nature to love gossip!

When Xue Youli heard that Hisaikawa Kazuo had a secret with the wife of the king, her eyes lit up: [Tell me about it now! ]

The Secret Book: [The king's eldest son is not his biological son, but the son of Hisashi Kazuo. ]

Holy crap! Holy crap!

This melon is really explosive!

Xue Youli never expected that Kusaichuan Yifu was having an affair with the Japanese king's wife, and quickly asked for details: [I heard that the king's wife married the king at the age of 16. When did she and Kusaichuan Yifu have a child? She got pregnant and married the Japanese king, and the Japanese king didn't feel anything at all? ]

Secret Book: [The wife of the king and Kazuo Kusaichuan are old acquaintances and childhood sweethearts. After the wife of the king married the king, she left a banquet in the middle of the meal and fell in love with Kazuo Kusaichuan, but failed to stop at etiquette and had a child! ]

The main reason why Murong Ye was valued by Jiucaichuan Yifu was that Jiucaichuan Yifu had only two daughters and no sons.

If Hisaikawa Kazuo knew that he had a son, Murong Ye's good days would be over.

Xue Youli immediately shared the gossip he had read from the Book of Heaven's Secrets with Chu Xinyue.

Chu Xinyue was very excited after hearing this. "I heard that the King of Japan likes the eldest son very much. Not only did he hand over part of the military power to the eldest son, but he also planned to make him the next crown prince. The King's second son was born to his favorite concubine, and he is only half a year younger than the eldest son. If it is revealed that the eldest son is not the King's biological son, that would be exciting!"

Xue Youli also had the same idea. "As long as the background of the king's eldest son is exposed, the three of them will definitely fall into infighting. By then, we won't need to intervene, Japan will be in chaos on its own!"

Once Japan is in chaos, how can they care about Murong Ye's ambition to seize the throne?

By that time, the Japanese frontline soldiers will definitely be withdrawn back to their capital!

Murong Ye will become a commander without troops again!

Chu Xinyue immediately clapped her hands in approval, "Great! I will send someone to infiltrate Japan and spread the secret of the king's wife! I guarantee that within two days, the whole of Japan will know that the king was cuckolded by his wife, Kazuo Kazuhiro Kazuhiro!"

Xue Youli smiled slightly, "With this shocking piece of news, it will be much easier for us to deal with Japan!"

Chu Xinyue and Xue Youli studied the strategy overnight and sent Qingfeng and Wang Dali to lead several soldiers who could speak Japanese to the capital of Japan overnight.

Two days later, the news suddenly broke out in the capital of Japan that the eldest prince of Japan was not the biological son of the king!

At the same time, many people dug up the story that the Queen had a childhood sweetheart relationship with Kazuo Kusakawa before she got married.

The second prince of Japan regarded the eldest prince as a fierce enemy. After hearing about this, he immediately added fuel to the fire and ordered people to spread the news.

This news seemed to have wings and spread throughout Japan in just one day.

After hearing the rumor, the King of Japan thought more and more that his eldest son looked like Kazuo Kusaichuan.

He directly ordered his eldest son to return to the capital overnight.

At this time, his eldest son had already received a secret letter from the King's wife, telling him the truth about his life.

The eldest prince of Japan already held military power. Thinking that his father had already sent most of the troops to the border to confront the Kyushu army, he acted decisively and decided to take the initiative. After sending a secret letter to his mother, he led his troops directly to the capital and launched a palace coup!

The next day, it was just dawn.

Far away in the northeastern border, Hisaikawa Kazuo received news that the eldest prince was plotting a rebellion.

After hearing the news that the King's wife was having an affair with Hisaikawa Kazuo, the Second Prince made preparations in advance.

Although the eldest prince's troops surrounded the palace, they were unable to break in.

The two sides were in a stalemate, neither side giving in.

The second prince took the queen's wife as a hostage and forced the eldest prince to surrender.

In order not to implicate her son, the queen committed suicide on the spot.

When Kazuo Kusaichuan learned that the civil unrest in Japan was caused by the fact that the eldest prince was his own son, he was so excited that he crushed the cup in his hand on the spot.

The eldest prince is not the king’s son, but his son?

Just thinking about this made him uncontrollably excited.

He had wanted a son for many years, but after giving birth to two daughters, his wife's belly stopped moving.

As he got older, he gradually found it difficult to have a son.

He originally thought that he would never have a son in this lifetime. He had even considered raising Murong Ye as his son after verifying that Murong Ye was sincere towards his daughter.

But now he found out that he had sex with the king's wife and made her pregnant!

Kazuo Kusaichuan couldn't find words to describe how he felt at the moment.

Even though we know that such incredible news breaking out during such an extraordinary period is likely a trick by the people of Jiuzhou.

However, deep down he hoped that the news was true. If the eldest prince was his son, he would assist the eldest prince wholeheartedly and help him become the next ruler of Japan!

When Murong Ye learned that Jiu Caichuan Yifu had ordered the withdrawal of troops, he immediately rushed to the commander's tent and said, "Father, we have been preparing for this battle for so long, how can you withdraw your troops at this time?"

Kusaichuan Yifu looked at the anxious expression on Murong Ye's face and snorted coldly, "Mr. Murong, because of your mistake, I lost most of the food, several thousand soldiers and nearly a hundred ninjas. For the sake of Hezi, I did not punish you! What qualifications do you have to interfere in the affairs of Japan?"

Murong Ye could see that his attitude towards him had obviously changed.

This has a lot to do with the rumors that have been circulating in Japan recently.

"Father, the civil unrest in the capital is obviously a conspiracy by Jiuzhou. You must not be fooled!"

However, no matter how much he begged, Jiu Caichuan Yifu would not listen to a word he said!

There is no smoke without fire!

How could he not have any idea whether the eldest prince was his son?

"You can get out now."

Kusaichuan Yifu waved at him impatiently, and then ordered Shuiping Taijiro who was standing next to him, "Go and pass on my order. Everyone must set off for the capital tomorrow morning!"

Although the eldest prince has military power, he cannot compete with the military forces of the king and the second prince.

If they continue to remain in this stalemate, the morale of the eldest prince's men will be exhausted, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.

Therefore, he must go back as soon as possible to lend a helping hand to the eldest prince!

Kusaichuan Kazuo did doubt the truth of the rumor in his heart, but when he thought carefully, he remembered the hesitant expression on the Queen's face every time she saw him over the years. In addition, the eldest prince's facial features were 50% similar to his, so he was sure that the eldest prince was indeed his son.

"Father, it is unwise to withdraw our troops at this time! Jiuzhou may counterattack at any time, so why don't we make a concerted effort..."

Murong Ye wanted to persuade him again, but before he could finish his words, Jiu Caichuan Yifu interrupted him impatiently, "I have made up my mind, get out!"

Murong Ye's heart sank suddenly when he saw the flash of annoyance on Jiu Caichuan Yifu's face.

He knew that Hisaikawa Kazuo was determined to return to the capital to support the eldest prince, and in his eyes, his son-in-law was always an outsider.

Murong Ye gritted his teeth and when he lowered his head, a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

Since Cai Chuan has been unkind for a long time, don't blame him for being unjust!

After he left the commander's tent, he looked at Taijiro in front of him, his eyes flashing, and he quickly chased after him, "Taijiro, wait for me!"

At the instruction of Kusai Kawana Ichiro, Shuiping Taijiro walked very close to Murong Ye. When he saw him chasing after him, he advised him, "Mr. Murong, His Excellency Kusai has not held you responsible for the failure of the night raid. He has been very good to you. Don't think too much. This time His Excellency Kusai decided to return to the capital to help the eldest prince, in large part because His Excellency Kusai and the Queen are old friends."

Murong Ye was too lazy to listen to his useless nonsense. He glanced around and saw that there was no one around. He suddenly had an idea and pointed randomly, pretending to be surprised. "Huh? Taijiro, what do you see there?"

Hearing his puzzled tone, Shuichi Taijiro turned his head and looked in the direction of his finger.

However, before he could see clearly what Murong Ye said, he felt a pain in the back of his neck.

By the time Shuitaijiro realized he had been cheated, it was already too late.

He turned his head stiffly and looked at Murong Ye who had done something to him, "You...you..."

Bang!

Unfortunately, before he could finish his question, his vision went dark and he fell straight down.

Murong Ye avoided the patrolling guards and dragged the unconscious Shui Taijiro into the tent.

After dealing with Shuichi Taijiro, Murong Ye immediately faked a military order and ordered all the Japanese troops to attack the city immediately!

For him, instead of relying on others and having to fawn on others, it would be better to borrow the strength of Japan and fight a desperate battle!

As a result, tens of thousands of Japanese troops were fully armed and attacked Ningcheng by force.

Fortunately, Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue were prepared and set up ambushes and traps outside the city in advance.

When the Japanese army rushed over, they fell one after another into the deep pit they had dug.

On the walls of Ningcheng, archers had already been waiting in formation.

Before they could get close to the city wall, a rain of arrows came down from the sky.

The long arrow pierced his body and he screamed in agony.

Wave after wave of Japanese soldiers fell.

"Mr. Murong, forcibly attacking the city is tantamount to committing suicide. Did Lord Jiucai really issue such an order?"

Seeing someone doubting him, Murong Ye stabbed the opponent's abdomen with his sword without saying a word, "Everyone listen, anyone who dares to question my father's decision will die! If you retreat in battle, you will also die!"

Everyone was shocked by his cruel and vicious methods and could only bite the bullet and rush towards the city gate.

Even though they knew there was a dead end ahead, they had no choice!

Just when the archers on the city wall were killing the Japanese army in seconds with an overwhelming advantage, Shui Taijiro rode towards them on horseback.

Murong Ye knocked him unconscious and threw him in the tent. When he woke up, he found that all the soldiers in the camp were gone, and he knew that something was wrong.

Unfortunately, by the time he arrived, nearly half of the Japanese soldiers had been killed.

"Retreat! Everyone, retreat to the main camp! Jiu Caige has issued an order, everyone, immediately..."

Shuiping Taijiro tried to shout at everyone to retreat, but Murong Ye did not give him a chance to speak and threw the sword in his hand out fiercely.

Phew!

The long sword pierced into Shuitaijiro's abdomen with perfect accuracy, piercing through his body.

He slowly lowered his head and watched the blood ooze out along the blade of the sword.

He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, a large mouthful of blood spurted out.

His body swayed a few times on the horse's back, and then he fell headfirst.

The horse was frightened and ran away wildly, stepping on Shuitaijiro's chest with one foot.

Shuichi Taijiro's internal organs were instantly dislocated and the pain made him numb.

His eyes moved, and his vision gradually blurred. He could only hear the screams of the Japanese soldiers around him.

Finished!

This time, the Japanese army was completely defeated by Murong Ye!

At the moment of death, Shui Taijiro saw a gentle figure walking up to him and gently stroking his head.

He knew it was his mother who came to pick him up.

When he was five years old, his mother was beaten to death by his father in order to protect him.

He could no longer remember what his mother looked like, but he had never forgotten the woman who protected him with her life.

If he had not been adopted by Jiucai Chuan Yifu, he would still be begging on the streets. Now his death on the battlefield can be regarded as a repayment for the life-saving grace of Lord Jiucai.

Mother, I can finally be reunited with you again!

Shuichi Taijiro stretched out his arm towards the gentle figure in front of him. When he felt the other person holding his hand, the corners of his mouth rose and he slowly closed his eyes...

That night, because Murong Ye falsely conveyed the military order of Cai Chuan Yifu, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers died outside Ningcheng.

The Kyushu army defeated the Japanese, and Kazuo Hisaikawa evacuated the northeastern border with his remaining troops and defeated generals.

Chu Xinyue pursued the victory and finally shot and killed Cai Chuan Yifu.

The remaining Japanese soldiers were leaderless, some died and some fled.

At the same time, civil unrest broke out in Japan and the people were suffering.

Taking advantage of the internal turmoil in Japan, Chu Xinyue went all out and fought all the way to the Japanese capital, where she beat the Japanese king to his knees and begged for mercy, and expressed that he would completely submit to Kyushu in the future.

From then on, Japan ceased to exist, Kyushu expanded its territory, and the people living on the northeastern border no longer had to live in fear.

However, the joy of victory did not last long. Chu Xinyue and Xue Youli received news that Murong Ye took Si Sha and fled to the northern border overnight to join his sister.

Now Jiang Yuanshan's 100,000-strong army is confronting Xue Wuzhi's army.

Jiang Yuanshan has been operating in the northern border for many years and has many loyal generals under his command.

However, there are also some soldiers who are loyal to Jiuzhou and the court.

After Xue Wuji and Yu Minyan arrived in the northern border, they did not start a war immediately, but persuaded all the soldiers to surrender as soon as possible.

Some of the soldiers did not want to follow Jiang Yuanshan in the rebellion, and took the initiative to surrender to the court to show their loyalty.

However, the Northern Xinjiang Army has a large number of people and has lived here all year round. They are more adapted to the climate of Northern Xinjiang and are more familiar with the terrain of Northern Xinjiang.

Xue Wuji had fought against the Northern Frontier Army several times. Although he never lost a battle, each victory was a bitter one.

After Xue Youli learned about the situation in the northern border from the Book of Heaven's Secrets and sent a secret letter to the capital, he and Chu Xinyue made a decision together -

Go to the northern border to support Xue Wuji and Yu Minyan!

When the Kyushu army received this news, their morale was boosted!

Two days later, Xue Wuji was studying a topographic map in his tent when Yu Minyan rushed in, "Captain, Princess Qinghe's troops have arrived at the city gate!"

Xue Wuji had long known that Xue Youli had also followed Chu Xinyue to the northeastern border. Upon learning that the army led by Chu Xinyue had arrived, he excitedly stood up from the table and said, "Let's go! Let's go and welcome them into the city!"
