Chapter 197 "Fire!"

Su Xiuxiu knew that many things were different from history in this life, but she still had some worries.

but……

Hearing her sister-in-law's words, Su Xiuxiu felt a little more at ease.

Yes, we should look on the bright side.

She had heard from Shishi, the lady-in-waiting beside Princess Fuqing, that Consort Liu had developed a new warship, and that Yue Jinyu, the youngest son of General Yue, had gone to Liaojiang County. Once the war broke out, Yue Jinyu would become a general.

Yue Jinyu is capable; he might be able to defeat the eldest prince of Chen.

Historically, Yue Jinyu was always a playboy and never became a general.

So, things are still different.

"Sister-in-law, I understand, thank you."

In fact, it wasn't just Su Xiuxiu who was worried; Emperor Xuanhe was also worried.

After all, he had long ago learned from his young aunt that the eldest prince of Chen would attack Daqing on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

Back then, General Yue and his men fought against Chen Zhuo and died on the battlefield.

Emperor Xuanhe was unsettled, so he found some time to visit Yue's residence.

Previously, Uncle Qin was in charge of guarding the Yue residence.

However, after Yue Jinyu became a general and went to Liaojiang County, Uncle Qin went with him.

Nowadays, the Yue family is being managed by one of Uncle Qin's nephews.

Others, of course, could not enter, but the emperor had no such restrictions.

After entering the Yue family home, we arrived at the Yue family ancestral hall.

This was not the first time Emperor Xuanhe had visited the Yue Family Ancestral Hall. He had previously brought Yue Jinyu with him to pay respects.

However, this time, he came alone.

Yue Jinyu is about to face the enemy.

The incense in his hand was burning, and through the smoke, Emperor Xuanhe looked at the memorial tablets.

"Ancestors of the Yue family, you worked hard to defend Daqing back then."

"Now, only Jin Yu remains in the Yue family, and he is about to fight against the enemy."

"The enemy is none other than Chen, Daqing's sworn enemy."

"May your spirits in heaven protect Jinyu, so that he may be safe and victorious!"

After bowing several times and offering incense, Emperor Xuanhe stayed at the Yue Family Ancestral Hall for a long time before finally leaving.

Just as Emperor Xuanhe was leaving, a gentle breeze suddenly swept by, carrying wisps of incense smoke that lingered around him.

It was as if someone was silently responding to Emperor Xuanhe.

Emperor Xuanhe's eyes immediately reddened.

He looked up at the sky; it was a clear blue, without a single cloud. Everything was fine, and everything would be fine too.
-
On the morning of the fifth day, with the launch of the Chen Kingdom's naval warships, the battle between Chen and Daqing began.

"They're attacking! The Chen navy is attacking again."

"Run! We have to run!"

"No, there's no need to run away. We have General Yue. General Yue is General Yue's son. Like father, like son. He will definitely be able to fight the enemy."

"General Yue has led the navy to fight the enemy."

"Young General Yue, keep it up!"

"Defeat the State of Chen! Defeat the State of Chen!"

"If General Yue is watching from heaven, please bless Young General Yue."

Almost as soon as the Chen Kingdom's navy entered the waters around Liaojiang, news spread throughout Daqing. Yue Jinyu led his navy to meet the enemy, and this news spread throughout Liaojiang County and then began to spread to the surrounding areas.

The people, especially those in Liaojiang County, were initially panicked and fearful.

After all, as people who have lived in this place for generations, if Daqing and Chen were to go to war, this place would be the first place to be affected.

Liaojiang County has been invaded by the Chen Kingdom before, and its people have been massacred.

It is generally acknowledged that the navy and warships of the Chen Kingdom have always been stronger than those of the Daqing Kingdom.

Almost every time the Chen Kingdom attacked Daqing, its navy would enter the area first, and then, unmatched, it would advance unimpeded and slaughter indiscriminately.

So how could the people of Liaojiang County not be afraid?

In particular, General Yue and others, who had always been considered the war gods of Daqing, also died on the battlefield in the battle against the eldest prince of Chen.

Although we know that it was due to an imbalance of combat power at the time.

but now……

The people weren't very confident either.

As a result, some people, upon learning that the Chen Kingdom had come to attack Daqing and that the general was the eldest prince of the Chen Kingdom, immediately fled Liaojiang County with their families.

Of course, those people who could not leave could only pray silently that General Yue would win and drive out the wolf that was the eldest prince of Chen.

Meanwhile, on the Liaojiang River, the Chen State Navy and the Daqing Navy were facing off.

Chen Zhuo held a telescope and frowned as he looked at the strange, large ships opposite him.

"Has Daqing built new warships?"

Because of the distance, the people behind them couldn't see the Daqing warships on the other side very clearly.

However, there was no fear on their faces.

It was full of disdain for the Daqing Navy.

"Perhaps it's a wrecked ship being refitted, a last-ditch effort before it dies, haha."

"Yes, the navy of Daqing has always been rubbish."

"Your Highness, don't hesitate, just attack."

Chen Zhuo has always been arrogant, especially many years ago when he was only a teenager and he defeated General Yue, who was the God of War of Daqing.

This has fueled Chen Zhuo's growing confidence over the years.

"I heard that the general in this Daqing is Yue Fei's son?" Chen Zhuo asked, his eyes full of disdain.

"Yes, he is the only remaining son of the Yue family. I heard that he used to be Igor, a playboy. I never expected that the Emperor of Daqing would actually send him to fight. Daqing is really out of talent after all."

"Let alone this incompetent son of the Yue family, even if the dead War God Yue were still alive, he would not be able to compare to our eldest prince."

"That's right, even if it happened again, he would still be cut down by our Crown Prince."

Chen Zhuo nodded, clearly agreeing.

Although he knew that the reason he was able to defeat Yue Zhanshen when he was only a teenager was because of the disparity in combat strength, because Yue Zhanshen was held back by the soldiers of Daqing, and because he wanted to save the people of Daqing...

However, defeating the God of War of Daqing back then was already a great feat for Chen Zhuo, and it also contributed to his current status.

Over time, the compliments from those around him made Chen Zhuo believe that he was exceptionally capable, a true war god, and invincible on the battlefield.

While the people on Chen's side were mocking Yue Jinyu and flattering Chen Zhuo.

On the opposite side, on the Daqing warship, Yue Jinyu's gaze also fell on Chen Zhuo, the leader of the Chen warship.

"That's Chen Zhuo." His enemy!
Yue Jinyu's eyes were filled with a sharp light. Since he had come, he would leave his life to pay tribute to the spirits of his father, uncles, and the innocent people of Daqing who had been wantonly killed by the Chen Kingdom.

"Speed ​​the boat at full speed and get closer!" Yue Jinyu ordered.

"Fire!" With a resounding boom, the cannon, glowing with fire, charged towards the Chen warships with the force of a thousand horses...
