After leaving the palace, Qin Yi went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to communicate with Si Qimei alone for a while on the grounds of government affairs.

During this period, apart from me and me, we solemnly said goodbye.

Although Si Qimei was reluctant to give up, she also understood that she could not help Qin Yi, let alone be a stumbling block for Qin Yi.

He should be supported, not hindered.

So he was reluctant to leave and sent Qin Yi all the way to the Yamen Gate.

But when parting, Si Qimei couldn't help but her bright eyes turned red.

She was filled with worry when she thought that Qin Yi was about to go overseas and conquer a foreign country.

But I have thousands of words, but I don’t know how to say them.

Qin Yi stared at Si Qimei with tender eyes, and after a moment, he said softly, "I will be back, you have to take care of yourself, understand?"

Si Qimei nodded, her eyes getting redder.

"Go back." With a soothing smile, Qin Yi stared at her again, then turned around and mounted his horse, galloping quickly towards the outside of the city.

It is most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman. Si Qimei treats him so affectionately. If she does not make a decisive decision, she may not be able to leave this time.

With his horse galloping, Qin Yi left Zhanjing and went straight to Yi Ziying's garrison.

The Ten Thousand Yizi Camp did not enter the city with him, but were stationed near the Forbidden Army camp.

Now, in the Yiziying camp, in addition to the original 10,000 Yiziying, there are also 10,000 newly selected Yiziying cavalry. These troops and horses arrived outside Zhanjing City yesterday.

After entering the camp, Qin Yi sent an order to the troops to assemble. After a while, he took the 20,000 Yizi camp and headed north.

Destination, Liukang Territory, Pingliu Military Town!

The reason why he brought Yi Ziying with him was because now, Yi Ziying was his escort. How could he not be escorted by strong soldiers when he was traveling far away.

Accompanying him were not only the soldiers of Yi Ziying, but also Mu Haorang.

After Liukang was captured, except for Sun Xingling and a few other generals who stayed at Pingliu Military Town, the rest of the generals followed Qin Yi back to Zhanjing.

Mu Haorang also returned to Beijing together.

Considering that the expedition to the island country required a reliable and capable general who could assist the left when needed, Qin Yicai brought Mu Haorang with him.

After all, there are not many generals beside him, most of them have been sent to major military towns.

After several days of trekking, Qin Yi led his troops and arrived at the former Kangdu, now the Pingliu Military Town.

Even before departure, Qin Yi had rushed to send a letter to inform Sun Xingling of the plan so that the other party could prepare.

Therefore, when Qin Yi arrived, Sun Xingling, who had already known about it, led many generals out of the city to greet him.

They didn't expect that not long after they separated, they would meet again.

Galloping to the city gate, Qin Yi, dressed in white robes, turned over and dismounted, and the soldiers of the Pingliu Army raised their hands and said respectfully, "Welcome to the prince!"

Qin Yi nodded, "No need to be polite."

Immediately, he looked at Sun Xingling and was about to ask, but Sun Xingling said first, "Your Majesty, there are many foreign races in the country, and we know nothing about the inside story. It is not appropriate for you to get involved in such a dangerous place in person!"

Qin Yi waved his hand and said, "The king has made up his mind, there is no need for further persuasion."

He is already here, how can he shrink back because of fear?

After following Qin Yi for several years, Sun Xingling didn't know Qin Yi's temperament and would not change his decision, so he did not continue to persuade him.

"How was the interrogation of the spy from the country?"

After hearing Qin Yi's question, Sun Xingling quickly replied, "Wokoku Seiko has been summoned as expected, and the military minister is imprisoned by the Hojo family. The head of the Hojo family is called Hojo Changyasu, and he is a powerful name in Woguo.

He has more than a dozen countries under his command and has tens of thousands of troops."

"The specific location of the Military Prime Minister is in the Hanoi County of Shimono Country. This spy said that he is a subordinate of the Hojo family and was sent to Sogen as a spy. He is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side to serve as the Prince's guide and help the Prince rescue the Military Prime Minister."

When Qin Yi heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and began to ponder.

It would be easier if you had a guide, but you have to be careful of this guy lying.

He immediately said, "I want to see this person later."

Immediately, he strode towards the military town, followed by many soldiers.

While walking, Qin Yi asked, "How are the ships prepared?"

Liukang is the closest to the country of Wo, so it is reasonable to set off from Liukang by boat. This is another purpose of Qin Yi's letter, asking Sun Xingling to prepare the boat in advance.

"At the beginning, the prince asked the general to develop the navy, and the general gathered many craftsmen and ships. There are hundreds of craftsmen and forty warships, ten of which can cross the sea, and one can carry five hundred people."

Five hundred people?

Such a carrying capacity is considered a big ship in this era... Qin Yi nodded secretly.

It would be safer to cross the sea in such a boat. Qin Yi knew that in ancient times, many people died in the belly of fish because their boats sank when crossing the sea.

"Ten ships, each with 500 people, is enough to transport troops once," Qin Yi continued.

Sun Xingling was slightly shocked and quickly advised, "Your Majesty, although Wo is a small country, its military strength is two to three hundred thousand. You only bring five thousand troops, which is not enough at all!"

"That's enough," Qin Yi shook his head and said, "This expedition should be like lightning, a quick victory. There is no need to have too many people, as too many people will slow down the speed."

He didn't want to attack in an all-out manner, but to deal with the Hojo family alone. The opponent only had tens of thousands of troops, and his own force of 5,000 was almost enough.

In the event of a full-scale attack, the country's strength would be as many as 200,000 to 300,000, and our own side would have to send at least hundreds of thousands of troops.

But now, with the strength of the navy, it is simply unable to support a battle of this scale. Whether it is transporting troops or food, it is quite difficult.

In addition, with Xiang Rong on his side, Qin Yi did not want to expend too much strength, so he decided to focus on rescuing the Prime Minister.

In the future, there will be many opportunities to conquer the other side. This island country can only become a subsidiary of Cangyuan Continent after all!

When Sun Xingling heard this, he frowned for a long time, but he vaguely felt that what Qin Yi said made sense.

When fighting across the sea, it is impossible to transport horses. If all infantry are used, too many numbers will indeed slow down the speed.

And he also knew that Qin Yi planned to use war to support war.

However, there is very little food in the country, and it is quite difficult to feed the local people. If you bring too many soldiers and horses, no matter how you fight to support the war, your own soldiers may starve.

Thinking of this, Sun Xingling could only shut up.

Not long after, everyone arrived at the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion. Qin Yi entered and sat on the main seat, while the generals stood beside him.

As soon as everyone stood still, two soldiers brought the previously captured spies from the Wo Kingdom into the hall.

Qin Yi looked closely and saw that the other person was wearing linen clothes, slightly short in stature, and had a look of panic on his thin face.

At first glance, Qin Yi felt that this person seemed timid and timid, but he was by no means an honest person.

As a spy, the best thing you can do is pretend!

This guy's timidity is probably just an act.

After all, someone who can be selected and sent as a spy cannot be a coward.

Without exposing the other party, Qin Yi asked coldly, "What's your name?"

The man in sackcloth trembled. Seeing many generals standing aside, only a heroic man was sitting in the main seat. He immediately understood that this man must have a high status.

Panicked in his heart, he didn't dare to delay, so he quickly replied, "My name is Mizutani Kaichi. I am willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. I will make meritorious deeds and be your guide!"

This person may have been a spy for many years, and his Yuan language is quite fluent.

Qin Yi frowned and asked, "How do I know if you are lying?"

"I don't dare to deceive you, I will definitely help you sincerely!" Mizutani Jia kowtowed repeatedly and said hurriedly, "I know a place that is uninhabited. You can lead your troops to land there. It is very close to Xiaye Country, and we will be able to get there soon.

Rescue Mr. Wan!"

When Qin Yi heard this, he frowned and pondered.

Woguo is an island with a very long coastline, and there are many places where you can land, but the best place to land is the one closest to Shimono.

And this location is only known to the spies of the country.

It seems that I have to take this guy with me... With this thought, Qin Yi said coldly, "In that case, I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. If you dare to cheat, I will kill you!"

Mizutani Jia was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed and said, "I have thanked you, sir. I will sincerely help you!"

Waving his hand and asking the soldiers to take away Shuigu Jiayi, Qin Yi turned his head and said to Sun Xingling, "Assemble five thousand powerful soldiers, each carrying a sword, a shield, a Zhugelian crossbow, and thirty crossbow arrows, and

Bring three days of dry food and follow me across the sea to expedition to the nest country!"

Sun Xingling responded respectfully and quickly arranged the order.

When everything was ready, Qin Yi left Pingliu Military Town with five thousand powerful soldiers, Mu Haorang, and spies from the country of Wo.

The 20,000 Yizi camp remained in the military town.

Many soldiers came out of the camp to see Qin Yi off respectfully.

They knew that Qin Yi would start an epoch-making campaign, leave Cang Yuan, travel overseas, and attack the island country. This was an unprecedented feat in the thousand-year history of Cang Yuan Continent!

In such a dangerous matter, Qin Yi actually led the troops himself. His courage and courage impressed many soldiers.

With everyone seeing him off, Qin Yi headed towards Dingyang Ferry on foot, leading more than 5,000 people.
To be continued...
