Zhan Feng traveled all over southern Xinjiang and finally found what King Xiang wanted. He sealed them all in water and transported them back.

After it was brought back, it was ground into powder with water and packaged separately according to King Xiang's wishes.

At night, when the temperature dropped to the lowest, King Xiang ordered everyone to board the ship.

No one understood what His Royal Highness Xiang Wang was trying to do. They were not good at fighting on the water. Now they had to act at night, and the temperature was low. Everyone was shivering with cold. How could they fight?

But he was the commander-in-chief, and as soldiers, they had no choice but to obey.

Get on the boat and head towards the small border country.

When they were approaching the island, the opposite ship also came towards them.

Moreover, the enemy obviously didn't take them seriously. They couldn't even defeat them on the shore, so how dare they come to the sea to fight? Isn't this just walking into a trap and sending themselves to death?

It seems that Dayu's court really has no one available, so they sent such a good-for-nothing like this.

Facing the enemy's laughter, King Xiang remained unmoved. He ordered his men to stop the boats, and then said to Zhan Feng, "Go ahead."

Zhan Feng immediately ordered the archers to prepare. Suddenly, more than a hundred archers ran out from the boat and shot arrows at the enemy ships.

But because the distance was too far, the arrows could not reach their boats.

Upon seeing this, the enemy burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you can't even calculate the distance accurately, and you dare to be a general?"

"Hahaha."

Faced with their ridicule, King Xiang watched coldly.

When most of the arrows had been shot, King Xiang suddenly took the bow from Zhan Feng's hand, took out an arrow, wrapped the arrowhead with cloth soaked in kerosene, and it ignited at a touch.

King Xiang pulled the bow to its full length and shot the flaming arrow far away.

The other side didn't know what he was going to do and laughed at him: "General Dayu, are you going to burn our entire ship with a rocket? Hahahaha"

But the next second, they could no longer laugh, because the moment the rocket landed on the sea, the entire sea surface suddenly caught fire with a whoosh.

This situation not only dumbfounded the enemy, but even Dayu's soldiers were stunned. What... was going on?

The sea water is burning on its own?

Zhan Feng looked at King Xiang with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

It is naturally impossible for sea water to burn by itself. It is white phosphorus that burns. His Highness asked them to grind the white phosphorus into powder, divide it into small packages, wrap it on arrows, and shoot them all over the sea on the opposite side.

Those packages have also been specially treated. They will automatically decompose when they come into contact with water. The white phosphorus inside will instantly scatter on the water surface and burn when it comes into contact with fire.

"Retreat, retreat quickly..."

The enemy then became afraid and nervously ordered their men to retreat.

But the sky was filled with white phosphorus and even the air was burning. There was no way for them to escape, and soon the entire ship was on fire.

They wanted to jump into the sea to survive, but the sea water was also burning and jumping in would mean death.

There were wailing sounds all around.

The fire burned all night until dawn, when the white phosphorus was burned out and the fire gradually went out.

When King Xiang and his men sailed over, the enemy only had one burnt-out hulk of a ship left, with all the people on board burned to death. It was a horrific sight.

But no one would think that King Xiang was cruel, because what this group of people did was much more cruel than King Xiang.

When they came ashore, they killed anyone they saw, burned any house they saw, and took whatever they could, and destroyed everything they couldn’t take. They even took children and women back home. In winter, when they couldn’t go out to sea to hunt, they cooked these captives and shared the food among the people. They called this “winter fresh food.”

The leftover bones were made into tableware and weapons, and the King of Hell would cry when he saw them.

King Xiang won the first battle, and then he continued to conquer all the small border states around the southern border. He not only took back all the coastal cities that Dayu had lost over the years.

Several small countries were forced to abandon their islands and flee. Other small border countries that were farther away sent letters of surrender in order to avoid being destroyed.

Not only did he promise that he would never offend Dayu's people again, he also offered a certain amount of money and property every year. Only then did King Xiang give up.

Within just two years of arriving in southern Xinjiang, King Xiang defeated the enemies who had oppressed southern Xinjiang for decades and was deeply respected and loved by the soldiers in southern Xinjiang.

Although he is young, his prestige in the army is very high, no less than those generals who have fought on the battlefield for decades.

Moreover, after the war subsided, he did not seek to gain great success, but instead organized soldiers to participate in farming and reclaiming wasteland, so that the southern Xinjiang army could be self-sufficient and not rely on the court's military pay.

In their spare time, they would also help the people rebuild their homes. Over the years, the military and civilians in southern Xinjiang have become one family, living in harmony and joy.

King Xiang wrote to the emperor many times to ask to return to Beijing, but the emperor forced him to stay in the south every time, saying that he governed southern Xinjiang well and southern Xinjiang could not do without him.

Although he was angry, he could do nothing about it.

As a general, he could not abandon the army here and leave before a new general came from the court.

The emperor had received many memorials from the King of Xiang expressing his wish to return to the capital. Especially in recent years, after the stability of southern Xinjiang, the frequency of the King of Xiang's memorials increased significantly.

"Lord Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Sheng followed behind the emperor and replied with a smile: "Your Highness Prince Xiang has been in Southern Xinjiang for more than ten years. He no longer has any support in the court. It would be better for him to stay in Southern Xinjiang. At least the army there is loyal to him and obeys his orders."

"And I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Xiang has made great contributions to the governance of Southern Xinjiang, and the people of Southern Xinjiang support him very much. They even know Prince Xiang but not the imperial court."

When the emperor heard this, he paused for a moment, turned around and looked at him. He saw that he was lowering his head respectfully and did not seem to be joking.

"Do the people of Southern Xinjiang support him to this extent?"

"These are all secret reports from the Embroidered Uniform Guard. I dare not speak nonsense." Liu Sheng remained respectful.

The emperor's expression turned unpleasant. He was afraid because Prince Xiang easily instigated Prince Mu's Mansion to attack Qinzhou.

That's why they wanted to send him to southern Xinjiang, away from the political center. But they never expected that when he arrived in southern Xinjiang, he would have his own army.

He suddenly remembered what Liu Sheng said. King Xiang had been away from Kyoto for ten years and no longer had any connections to rely on in the court. Moreover, the power in the court was now evenly divided, with the Prime Minister, Liu Sheng, and Nangong Muyun forming a three-way balance of power.

Even if King Xiang returns, he may not be able to gain a foothold.

"If my dear Minister Liu hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed that ten years have passed. Fuso has lived in the southern border for a long time, and it's time for him to go home. You can make the arrangements." The emperor acted like a kind father.

Liu Sheng cupped his hands: "I obey your command."

After bidding farewell to the emperor, Liu Sheng changed out of his court robes and prepared to go to the school to teach them.

As soon as I picked up the court dress, a very large subtitle suddenly appeared in front of me: Ye Qingwan's Complaints.

He frowned slightly. What? A prank?

Section 250

The three words "Ye Qingwan" were bolded and darkened, for fear that he might not see them.

He looked at the constant complaints about him, such as being treacherous, mean, and dull...

And... eight-pack abs?

She's going to find another chance to peek?!

Ye Qingwan, if you don't get punished for a day, you'll tear the tiles off the roof, right?!
