Xiang Ji's fleet set sail and headed straight for the coast of Xuzhou.
As for why not go to Liaodong where you came from?
Just kidding, it was because Xiang Ji was not familiar with the route and had no idea, so he could only choose the nearest place. After all, it was safer, right?
Now, Xiang Ji already knows that his large-scale ships can completely carry out this kind of offshore navigation, so naturally he will not choose the bullshit Liaodong.
Just kidding, how long would it take to walk back from Liaodong with tens of thousands of female slaves?
It would be much easier to float on the sea for a few more days and return directly to Xuzhou.
Xiang Ji was very satisfied with the results of this expedition.
Xiang Ji was most proud of having solved the Japanese issue once and for all, and even allowed his race to die out naturally.
Moreover, he also brought back more than 80,000 Japanese female slaves, which was also a huge fortune.
In this era, what is lacking most? Isn’t it population?
With this group of extremely obedient Japanese female slaves, how many soldiers could Xiang Ji reward? How much more labor force could he add to the country?
You know, these Japanese female slaves are also good hands whether they are fishing in the sea or doing farm work in the fields!
As for whether these Japanese female slaves will change their racial lineage after entering the Chu State?
Xiang Ji doesn't have to worry about this.
When these Japanese female slaves came to the Chu State, they naturally had to be assimilated by the Chu State. Their food, clothing, clothes, drinks, and all their living habits had to be changed.
Even if she still retains the characteristics of the Japanese in this generation, I am afraid that in two generations at most, she will gradually become a subject of the Chu Kingdom.
As for the height issue, Xiang Ji can only believe that our racial bloodline is strong enough.
No matter what, it's better to have something than nothing.
In today's world, the population is never too large.
Of course, this was only limited to Japanese female slaves.
The male slaves of the Japanese? They all had to stay in the Japanese country to mine money until they died, and then go to meet their bullshit Amaterasu.
These are just the goods Xiang Ji brought to Chu State.
Naturally, it itself has a rich collection of goods.
Not to mention how many treasures were plundered during this conquest of Japan, even women, even Himihu, Xiang Ji was extremely satisfied.
In terms of meeting Xiang Ji's needs, first of all, Himihu has achieved something that no other woman can do. After all, he is a professional who has experienced many battles. How can ordinary women compare?
More importantly, this little girl comes from the same era as Xiang Yu, and can help Xiang Yu relieve the loneliness that has been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
Yes, after all, Xiang Ji has more than twenty years of modern memory. Naturally, many things can only be buried in his heart without anyone telling him.
And with this little girl like Himihu, Xiang Ji can naturally say some words to her that he can't say to others.
Of course, even so, Xiang Ji will not improve the little girl's status in any way.
After all, this woman is a Japanese, and she is only qualified to be Xiang Ji's private slave.
Himihu was also very conscious about this, and had no dissatisfaction or resistance at all. On the contrary, he enjoyed it very much.
This made Xiang Ji very speechless.
The servility of Japanese people is indeed innate...
And just when Xiang Ji was very satisfied with the harvest of this expedition and led his army back, Xu Sheng and Yu Jin, who were far away in Yangzhou, also set off for the expedition.
"Wen Ze, now that we have arrived at Suixian County, why are there no actions from the soldiers of the prefectures and counties along the way? Don't they know that Xiangyang is now under siege?
Moreover, we entered the country so rashly without encountering any questioning or obstruction. Isn’t this a little strange?”
Along the way, Xu Sheng couldn't help but feel strange that he didn't encounter any Jingzhou soldiers.
"The situation is indeed not right, please tell everyone to be careful.
This Jingzhou is so strange, we should evacuate as soon as we get to Xiangyang and force Naguan Laoer back."
Not only Xu Sheng was surprised by this, but also Yu Jin, who was relatively calm, also felt that something was wrong.
It can be said that the credit of the Imperial Seal is waiting for him there. In this situation, Yu Jin will not evacuate without doing anything under any circumstances.
Come to think of it, maybe these Jingzhou soldiers are still entangled internally, so they didn't take any action, right?
In this regard, Yu Jin could only comfort himself in this way.
But he didn't know that when the Chu army entered Jingzhou, Gan Ning, who was guarding Jiangxia County, immediately learned about it.
However, because of Liu Bei's envoy's words, Gan Ning chose to let him go as he pleased.
Yes, it was because of the presence of Liu Bei's envoy that the Chu army was able to reach Suixian County without any hindrance.
Just because when the Chu army entered Jingzhou, Guan Yu, who was in Xiangyang, also received the news.
Originally, Guan Yu planned to order the envoys from various states and counties to use force to urge the soldiers from Jingzhou to block the Chu army at the border to prevent it from hindering his capture of Xiangyang.
However, this news also reached the ears of Guan Yu's military advisors.
When he heard the news, he immediately stopped Guan Yu's plan, and then quickly came up with a plan before Guan Yu was angry, a plan that could keep all Chu troops in Jingzhou.
The name of this strategy is called, Please enter the urn.
Yes, even if the states and counties in Jingzhou have not completely turned to Liu Bei, most of them will choose neutrality.
So as long as the Chu army that ventured into Jingzhou arrives at Xiangyang, Guan Yu can naturally attack it head-on.
At the same time, the states and counties that turned to Liu Bei would send troops to respond and devour the Chu army that was deep into the enemy's territory.
Thinking about it, without this army, Chu State's defense against Yangzhou will definitely fall into a weak stage.
At that time, if Guan Yu advances, he can capture Chu State's Yangzhou territory, and if he retreats, he can sit in Xiangyang and slowly digest the entire Jingzhou without any hindrance.
Guan Yu, who was originally blocked because of his own orders, suddenly brightened up when he heard this clever plan.
Chu State! That will be Guan Yu’s eternal pain.
Ever since they fought against that Xiang Ji, Liu Bei and his three brothers have basically never taken advantage.
Now that he had this rare opportunity to attack the Chu army, Guan Yu would not let it go.
But it’s just Xiangyang. What’s the harm in conquering it a few days earlier or a few days later?
As long as this Chu army can be eaten, Liu Bei's power in the south will completely overwhelm Chu.
At the same time, it was precisely because of this clever plan that Guan Yu began to pay attention to this military advisor who took the initiative to surrender after he came to Jingzhou.
This guy may not be as capable as Zhuge Liang, but he's not far behind, right?
You know, this guy is Ma Liang, who is known as the Wuchang of the Ma family and has the best white eyebrows!
