Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Zhou Yu never expected that in just one month, Sun Ce would lead the people of the Maritime Kingdom to cut down trees for weapons, rise up in rebellion, gather more than 100,000 people, and plunge the Maritime Kingdom into chaos.

Even more exaggeratedly, Sun Ce was like a fire that set the entire kingdom ablaze, with rebel armies everywhere. Sun Ce's domineering aura was so strong that all the rebel armies would bow down and submit to him whenever they saw a banner with the character "Sun".

Sun Ce advanced relentlessly, and wherever he went, the people welcomed his army with open arms. As a result, in just one month, Sun Ce conquered one-third of the maritime kingdom's territory, directly adding a piece of territory to the Xinghan Kingdom.

Before the upper echelons of the maritime kingdom could react, Sun Ce had already seized control of a region, hanged local nobles, seized land from the wealthy and distributed it to the people, and firmly grasped their hearts.

By the time Zhou Yu arrived, Sun Ce had already conquered half of the river.

"So you're saying you want me to clean up this mess for you?"

Zhou Yu's forehead veins bulged as he looked at Sun Ce, who seemed to say, "I trust you completely." A burning rage flared within him.

Zhou Yu was already used to Sun Ce's amazing actions and didn't feel anything special about it. It was just that he had the protagonist's halo and was full of domineering aura. He would get used to it.

"It's not just a mess, it's half of the kingdom!" Sun Ce argued, trying to let Zhou Yu know how great a feat he had accomplished.

"Half the country only has enough provisions for three days?" Zhou Yu said with a sneer. Sun Ce, who was originally excited, chuckled twice upon hearing this and immediately wilted.

Simply put, it's like taking too big a step and ending up tearing your balls.

Although they had conquered half of the country, this half was a land of hardship, with nothing but manpower.

If Sun Ce hadn't confiscated and exterminated the families of these nobles along the way, dispersing all their accumulated assets, the army would probably have fallen apart.

"Knock knock knock!" Zhou Yu tapped the table.

"Bo Fu, what would you have done if I hadn't come today?"

When Zhou Yu guessed that Sun Ce was up to something, he deduced that Sun Ce was definitely short of food, so he brought several large ships of grain with him when he left.

The problem could certainly be solved, but he was more interested in knowing what Sun Ce planned to do if he didn't come.

“Attack the port of Asia and Israel to the west; there are granaries there!” Sun Ce said honestly.

"Did you make this decision yourself, or was it suggested to you by someone else?" Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes. Connecting the news of the Maritime Kingdom's fleet returning to defend, he could basically conclude that Sun Ce had been tricked.

If he hadn't come, Sun Ce would most likely have been severely injured, and his chances of survival would have been slim.

He didn't even need to conduct an actual exploration to know that the so-called Asia-Israel port was a trap.

"The original plan remains unchanged. Generals Huang Gai and Han Dang will stay behind with their troops to assist Bo Fu. I will handle things on the sea!" Zhou Yu briefly explained the things that needed attention.

In fact, there was nothing noteworthy. Sun Ce and his men were very experienced in warfare, and apart from their naval fleet, the maritime kingdom posed almost no threat.

"Notify the others to prepare. Leave four ships to patrol and warn along the coast. The rest of the fleet will follow me around the perimeter!"

Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce and indicated that the score would be recorded first and settled later.

"Sun Ce, heed my command!"

"I hereby order you to lead an army of 20,000 to attack the port, advancing with me by land and sea. After this is over, all the scores will be settled with you!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Ce, who had been meek and submissive, instantly became invigorated. Settling scores later was no problem for Sun Ce. By then, who knew how many serious offenses he had committed? This trivial matter might have been completely covered up and forgotten.

"Don't be so smug. After this is over, you'll be heading to the Undying Battlefield to atone for your sins!"

Zhou Yu glanced at the excited Sun Ce and coldly warned him, while Sun Ce just smiled and brushed Zhou Yu off, not afraid at all. As long as the score wasn't settled now, it meant that he was perfectly fine.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yu shook his head repeatedly. Sun Ce's biggest problem over the years was that he never learned from his mistakes. Of course, a large part of the reason was that Sun Ce seemed to have never been beaten.

I was too lenient with Sun Ce. I can't control Sun Ce anymore. I should leave him to Yue Fei to train.

Yue Fei, known for his military discipline, would surely give Sun Ce an unforgettable experience.

"Go and inform the fleet, depart now!"

Zhou Yu called out to the guards waiting nearby, then punched Sun Ce hard in the face before turning and leaving without a second thought.

"Hiss, Gongjin is really angry this time!"

Sun Ce rubbed his bruised eye socket, and it took him a while to recover, which showed how hard Zhou Yu had exerted himself.

Huang Gai and Han Dang, standing to the side, smiled wryly. This was only possible because of Sun Ce. If it were anyone else, Zhou Yu would definitely have dragged them out and given them eighty strokes of the cane.

Zhou Yu led a thousand warships in a grand and imposing manner, making a large circle and heading towards the port.

A thousand warships were divided into hundreds of fleets, stretching out horizontally for dozens of miles. They covered each other with a group defense, and then continuously accelerated with the secret technique of waves, speeding across the sea at high speed.

About a day later, Sun Ce launched an attack on the port, while Zhou Yu led his ships to bind thousands of warships together on the sea using cloud chains to create a huge platform, waiting for the target to appear.

Before Zhou Yu reached the port, no matter which direction the opposing fleet returned from, they would be on the inevitable path.

"Commander, enemy warships have appeared on the horizon."

Wang Shou shouted loudly at Zhou Yu, who nodded without changing his expression; this situation was exactly what he had expected.

What he feared most was that the enemy would break up into smaller groups. After all, this was the first battle after the Navy's reorganization, and he had to fight it well.

Zhou Yu wasn't afraid of a powerful opponent; he was afraid of not being able to capture them.

"Enemy warships have appeared in the southeast, southwest, and due south directions, with a speed of thirty!" the lookout shouted loudly at Zhou Yu.

Before Zhou Yu could speak, the Han army and navy all saw the sky explode with a dense array of flames, stretching from east to west and beyond their field of vision. Then, countless stone balls flew over from the horizon with sharp whistles.

"Interesting. They spotted us beforehand and even attacked us first?" Zhou Yu stood on the ship's railing, sword in hand, his expression unusually cold.

It's not a big deal if they're discovered, since they're so conspicuous that it's hard not to notice them.

However, the other side actually used a hunting tactic to attack them, which really shows how much they were underestimated.

"Where did these mud-bearers conjure up so many ships?" Naval Governor Kernper observed the Han army's navy through a secret technique.

"Go to Shimaru, see if this is just a smokescreen!" Kernpert shouted, pointing his sword toward the Star River Navy.

He never believed that a bunch of peasants could put together such a massive fleet.

"Soft, group-based defense activated!"

At Zhou Yu's command, the fleet deployed a soft, group-based defensive formation to intercept all the whistling stone balls. This defense didn't involve a rigid collision, but rather reduced kinetic energy. Most of the stone balls could pass through, but after their kinetic energy was reduced, they simply crashed into the sea, posing no threat whatsoever to the Xinghan Navy.

"You thought you were the ones who surrounded us?" Zhou Yu sneered, and immediately began issuing orders. They hadn't been idle on this day of waiting for their prey to come to them.

"The secret technique of 'Tides' accelerates, the cloud solidifies the road, and the warship is lifted to its maximum speed."

"The left flank of the Second Fleet and the right flank of the Third Fleet, infiltrate and encircle them, break through their defenses, and trap them here!" Zhou Yu shouted the order.

In recent years, Zhou Yu himself has not improved much, and he has also developed very few secret techniques.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to reforming the navy, training the captains relentlessly every day. He had no other requirements but that everyone must learn the five basic secret techniques.

Only when these captains mastered these basic secret techniques could Zhou Yu build upon them to perform those advanced maneuvers.

With Zhou Yu's command, the entire fleet split into three. The main fleet headed straight ahead, while the fleets on the left and right sides began to accelerate at an astonishing speed, even surpassing the speed of a regular cavalry charge. Keep in mind that these were warships weighing thousands of tons, or even tens of thousands of tons. What a terrifying speed!

"Prepare the naval guns!"

Zhou Yu stared at the numerous ships that appeared in front of him, his expression unwavering, and directly issued orders.

Hundreds of steel spears, crackling with thunder, roared from the cannons, flashing crimson fire and purple lightning, hurtling towards the opposing fleet at supersonic speeds.

The cannons deployed by the Mohists would explode if they hit an arrow.

The explosive force was enough to send the entire ship into the air. No ship could withstand a single blow without being defended, including Zhou Yu's own vessel.

"Boom!" Terrifying explosions erupted around the enemy warships.

Even from a great distance, the hit rate was incredibly low, with dozens of warships being hit and blown to pieces.

Kornper, who had been full of confidence, was utterly shocked. They had never had the chance to see such a terrifying opponent. With just one cannon shot, the warship was blown to pieces.

“How is this possible?” Kernper roared, refusing to believe it.

But that was the reality. All the naval soldiers who witnessed this scene were horrified; they never expected to encounter such an overwhelming enemy.

"Even simpler than I expected!"

Zhou Yu activated his spiritual talent and applied it to the opponent. Seeing the opponent turn around and try to run away, he shook his head. With such cowardice, he was afraid before the battle even started. It was a disgrace to choose such an opponent as a target.

"Full speed ahead, onto the Cloud Chains!"

Following Zhou Yu's command, the fleet rapidly approached the enemy camp. Ships and the main ship established cloud channels, with hundreds of chains extending from the main ship, hooking onto each ship and linking all the ships in front together.

As golden cloud chains connected all the warships, Xinghan's cloud reserves were concentrated in one place, and the group's defensive structure was even thickened to the point that it could be seen to be distorted at sea.

Countless chains extended from the warship's cloud storage compartments, piercing through all the enemy fleet's ships.

Zhou Yu coldly waved his arm down and ordered the activation of the Great Secret Technique.

"Activate the Explosion Technique!"

With the command given, the secret technique was activated, and several fire dragons swept across all the ships in front of them along the cloud chains.

"boom!"

Almost instantly, hundreds of ships burst into flames, turning into burning torches. The surrounding seawater even began to boil, and countless fish and shrimp were cooked by the high temperature.

Two-thirds of the maritime kingdom's ships were burned to ashes in this attack, and tens of thousands of people were reduced to ashes. The remaining fleet chose to surrender.

Unable to comprehend Zhou Yu's immense power, they were utterly terrified, abandoned all resistance, and surrendered.

Zhou Yu was quite satisfied with the result; at least their first battle in reorganizing the navy was a clean and decisive victory.

That does justify the military spending allocated to their navy over the years.

On the other side, Sun Ce led his men to the vicinity of the port, with a massive force of over 100,000 people following behind. Sun Ce and his men did not have the ability to command over 100,000 people, but Sun Ce managed to control them through his personal charisma, which is quite a strange thing.

"Bo Fu, how should we fight?" Huang Gai asked Sun Ce. They didn't plan to send cannon fodder; they only intended to finish the battle quickly.

"Let's just break through head-on!" Sun Ce said casually. Why play games? Let's fight head-on.

Huang Gai paused for a moment, then nodded. Over the years, he had become accustomed to Sun Ce's astonishing words and trusted Sun Ce's judgments even more.

Sun Ce's decisions all sound absurd at first glance, but upon closer examination, it seems that the current situation is indeed more efficient to attack head-on.

After all, it's a port; unless you attack from the sea, it's very difficult to attack from other locations.

On the contrary, the front side, being a port, has unobstructed roads, so even if temporary arrangements were made, the temporary structures would be easily destroyed.

Putting aside their own imperial guards, Sun Ce led the Jie Fan Army into battle, and the Junhun Legion was invincible in this kind of local war.

That night, Sun Ce immediately mobilized his troops and set off, making no attempt to conceal his actions, heading straight for the port.

"Smash it!"

Faced with the obstacle, Sun Ce launched a massive army attack.

Then he unleashed everything he possessed: pure golden inner energy and pure golden legion talent. At that moment, Sun Ce and his Jie Fan Army transformed into the sun.

"kill!"

Sun Ce broke through the frontal defenses with overwhelming force. The guards stationed at the port were no match for the Jie Fan Army and were breached in just a few breaths.

When Huang Gai and Han Dang led their legions into the battlefield, the front line had already been turned into a mess by Sun Ce.

The tens of thousands of people who were lying in wait for Sun Ce to walk into their trap were kicked over by Sun Ce, and Huang Gai and Han Dang rushed in.

The two sides were on completely different levels of combat power. The three legions were like three runaway dump trucks, directly destroying all obstacles to Chuangfei.

In less than an hour, the entire port had completely lost its ability to resist and was directly occupied by Sun Ce's troops.

All of the kingdom's preparations were easily shattered by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, as if tearing a blank sheet of paper.

The entire kingdom instantly became fish on Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's chopping board. (End of Chapter)
