Chapter 140: Winning by Combining the Right and the Unexpected

"You mean, the woman in the kimono is the sister of the head of the community!"

Wen Yu exclaimed, and he instantly thought of the woman in Inazuma Castle who was famous for her elegance and wisdom.

The name of Princess Shiragiri is known to everyone in Inazuma and she is a role model and example in the minds of many people.

He really couldn't connect a lady from a noble family with the sponsor of the rebellion against the general.

"Yes." Chen Yue nodded, with a deep light flashing in his eyes.

"Kamisato Ayaka is not only smart and beautiful, but also deeply loved by the people of Inazuma. More importantly, she also has doubts and opposition to the Eye Hunting Order."

"But because of her status, she couldn't openly stop the Eye Hunting Order, so she could only use this method to resist."

"And his elder brother, the head of the community, pretended to know nothing on the surface, but he was actually helping his sister behind the scenes."

"So that's how it is." Wen Yu took a deep breath, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated.

"So, Mr. Chen Yue, in your opinion, what should we do next?" Xin Hai asked, with excitement flashing in her eyes.

Chen Yue smiled slightly, took out a map from his arms and spread it on the table.

"In the 500 years since I left Inazuma, I have traveled to every place on the continent."

"Among them, I have stayed in Liyue for the longest time and have some knowledge of the local area."

"According to the ancient records of Liyue, during the Demon God War, there was a general who relied on his own wisdom to expand the territory of Liyue."

"I have repeatedly studied the military books he left behind, and I think what is written in them makes a lot of sense."

Chen Yue said calmly, he couldn't possibly say that he wrote the book. After all, his status was different now. The one who wrote the book was that immortal. What did it have to do with me, the King of Wu?

"So, what does the tactics in this military book have to do with our plan?"

Xin Hai asked impatiently, her curiosity was completely aroused by Chen Yue's words. Chen Yue nodded and pointed to Inazuma Castle on the map.

"Although the defense system of Inazuma Castle is strong, it is not impenetrable."

"In any battle, the right troops should be combined to win the battle. The general way of fighting is to use the "right" troops to join the battle, and then use the surprise troops to assist and win the battle by surprise."

"We can spread the word first, gather the army, and march towards the top of the Taling Sand."

"Once the shogunate gets the news, they will definitely dispatch troops to the front line to prevent us from getting closer."

"The interior of Inazuma will be very empty by then and our goal is to quickly capture Inazuma Castle before the shogunate can react."

Chen Yue paused and drew his attack route on the map.

"Perhaps you are curious about what I have been doing during this period. Now I will tell you that during this period, I have been building ships so that I can better attack Inazuma Castle and solve the problem at the source."

"Speedy boats and light armor, quickly attack from behind. It's all within your control to capture Inazuma!"

Chen Yue touched his chin and felt that he seemed to have missed a very crucial thing.

"Oh, by the way, there's no need for you to worry about that General."

"The Traveler is now in Inazuma Castle. With the strength of the two of us, defeating General Raiden should not be a problem."

Wen Yu frowned as he considered the risks involved. "This is a bold plan. If we make a mistake, we will be in danger."

Chen Yue smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated Wen Yu's worries.

“It is true that this plan has certain risks, but as long as we can act quickly and take the enemy by surprise, the chances of success are still very high.”

"As long as the shogunate is slow to react, then our plan will surely succeed."

"I don't believe that an enemy facing an attack while retreating can pose much of a threat to our army."

"And we have another advantage."

Chen Yue said this, took out a note from his arms and handed it to Xin Hai.

Xinhai took the note in confusion, glanced at it, then her eyes suddenly widened and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

"This is..." She looked up at Chen Yue, her voice trembling a little.

"Is this... the defense blueprint of Inazuma Castle?"

Chen Yue nodded, a smug smile on his face. "I have some connections in Inazuma City, and she gave me this blueprint."

"When the time comes, I will contact the head of the community to coordinate with you and bring Goro Manye and some resistance forces into Inazuma Castle."

"Oh, is it possible that Mr. Chen Yue has something to do and cannot go with Goro Manye?" After hearing the meaning of the words, Xinhai asked in confusion.

"It's true that some things will delay my departure from here, but they won't prevent me from reaching Inazuma."

"You don't need to worry about this. I will fight the final battle with you."

Giving Xinhai a reassuring look, Chen Yue smiled with confidence.

Wen Yu took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with determination, "Since you have made thorough preparations, let's act according to this plan."

Xinhai also nodded. Although she still had some doubts in her heart, since things had come to this and Wen Yu also agreed, the only choice left for her was to accept it.

After deciding on the departure time, everyone present left the meeting room.

But just after everyone left, Chen Yue called Xin Hai alone.

"Miss Xinhai of Coral Palace, I am here to ask you something as King Inazuma Wu." Chen Yue said with a serious expression, covering his chest.

Xin Hai was slightly shocked when she heard Chen Yue's words. Looking at Chen Yue's serious expression, she knew that this was not the time to joke.

"Lord King Wu, what do you want to ask me?" Xinhai tried his best to remain calm, his tone revealing respect for Chen Yue.

Chen Yue took a deep breath, as if weighing the importance of his words.

"Are you, the Kaijima rebels, really fighting the shogunate just to overthrow the Eye Hunting Order? Or do you have other intentions?"

Xinhai was stumped by this question. She had thought of many possibilities, but she never expected that Chen Yue would ask her this question.

This question is actually not easy for Xinhai to answer.

The goal of the resistance forces on Kaiji Island is indeed to overthrow the Eye Hunting Order, but Xinhai himself is not quite sure whether there are any other deeper meanings.

She looked at Chen Yue, her eyes full of confusion.

"Lord Wu Wang, what do you mean by this? Do you think we will have other ideas?"

"I do think so. After all, the Eye Hunting Order didn't have much impact."
