Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 457 451. Declaration of War
"Hundreds of thousands..."

Han Nu's eyes were a little dull. Even if all the people he had met in his nearly thirty years of life were added together, it was unknown whether there would be hundreds of thousands of them.

This number of magnitude was simply unimaginable to him. You have to know that the total number of people in the entire Kyushu was only more than 100,000, even less than the army of the Han Dynasty.

The Han slaves followed Feng Xi's gaze and looked at the camp outside the village. There were only a few hundred people in this village, not enough for the Han army to station, so the Han army had to set up a new camp nearby for the soldiers to rest.

It was getting dark, but the Han army's tent was brightly lit, with torches and bonfires everywhere, making the whole tent as bright as day. Soldiers were already standing guard on several temporary lookout towers, and several teams were patrolling the camp. Although there were people coming and going, it was not as noisy as expected, which showed the discipline of the Han army.

Han Nu was silent as he watched the performance of the Han army. He had traveled all over Kyushu, almost all of it, and had naturally seen foot soldiers and samurai from other countries, but apart from a few brave men, few could compare with these Han soldiers.

They seemed to have merged into one, and there was a murderous aura between their orders and prohibitions, which made Han Nu's brain constantly send danger signals.

"So there is no need to worry. This time, our Han people have come from afar only to wipe out the rebels on the Japanese island and seek justice for the former Japanese slave country."

Han Nu was just a useful translator, so Feng Xi naturally would not tell him everything, and still used the same excuse as before to tell the people. If the Wa Nu Kingdom was pacified in the future, this kid might be able to be brought back to the Han Dynasty after passing his own tests.

The Han slaves were not surprised by this. After all, as the suzerain state, it was not unusual for the Han Dynasty to stand up for its tributary vassal.

Now that the Han army is so powerful, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find an enemy in Kyushu. Perhaps the rulers of Honshu Island will have to gather together to have the strength to fight...

Han Nu lowered his head, thinking in his heart. If Feng Xi knew what he was thinking, he would probably just laugh. In fact, Feng Xi did not take the Japanese island seriously. The main reason for coming to the Japanese island this time was to satisfy his desire and to decide how to govern the Japanese island.

As for the current combat power of the Japanese island? Feng Xi really didn't look down on them. Not to mention 10,000 Han troops, 10,000 Wei troops could overwhelm the entire Japanese island.

The Han army really didn't take the people on the Japanese island seriously. Putting aside other things, the powerful bows and crossbows in the hands of the 4,000 Shenji Camp were enough to leave the entire Japanese island littered with corpses.

Arrows? Guess how many arrows were in the warehouse of the Han army's land warships? Arrows were a basic consumable item for the Han army, on the same level as food and fresh water.

"Hannu, since you have been to overseas several times for trade as a representative of the Kingdom of Meru, that means you know where the ruler of Meru is, right?"

Feng Xi and Han Nu looked at the lights below in silence for a moment. Feng Xi suddenly asked, which startled Han Nu.

"I know, of course I know..."

"Then Hannu, tell me the location, and tomorrow you will be the envoy of my Great Han and bring a message to the ruler of the Mulu Kingdom. Tell him that if the ruler of the Mulu Kingdom is willing to give up the name of his country and voluntarily submit to the Great Han, I will protect the people in his territory. If you dare to insist on resisting the heavenly soldiers, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Feng Xi dictated it, and Han Nu lowered his head and memorized it word for word. Then he followed Feng Xi back to the room and pointed to the "city" where the ruler of the Kingdom of Mulu was located on the map of the Japanese island in Feng Xi's hand. However, according to Han Nu, this Mulu city was just a village built on a hill with stone walls and wooden fences. Calling it a "city" was a bit of a compliment.

The mission given to Hannu was just the first test given to him by Feng Xi. If Hannu was really killed by the ruler of the Mulu Kingdom, Feng Xi would also treat his family well. If he never came back? Then he would never come back.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Han Nu set out first and headed towards the city of Mulu. After walking for half a day, at noon, Mulu appeared in Han Nu's sight.

Han Nu arrived at the king's mansion with familiarity and explained to the gatekeeper that he wanted to see the king. The situation was urgent, so the gatekeeper sent one person to go in and inform the king. "You said you had something important to report. What is it?"

The ruler of the Mulu State was also a middle-aged man. It was not fashionable to tie up hair at that time, so he still had his hair loose. He sat on the floor at the top, barefoot and wearing a brocade robe traded from the Goxie Kingdom of Korea, looking at the Han slaves with impatience on his face.

"Lord Kuniu-sama, I am Yasuke, a subordinate of Ito Kunizo. I wonder if you still remember me?"

Han Nu still subconsciously gave a flattering smile and started to establish a relationship.

"I remember. Yasuke, you once assisted in overseas transactions, so the Lord of this country will certainly remember. What's the matter, Ito Kunizo?"

The king of the Mulu State was very familiar with Han Nu. He was a capable general under his command. There were only a dozen generals under his command in the Mulu State, so the king naturally remembered him.

"Um, Your Excellency, Ito Kunizo is dead..."

Hannu said cautiously.

"Oh? Is he seriously ill? Or did something unexpected happen?"

The first reaction of the King of Maluo Province was that accidents happen. After all, the place where Ito Kunizo was located was the future Hirado area, which was considered the hinterland of the hinterland. In the era when ships were not well developed in Japan, it was almost impossible to cross the sea and launch a surprise attack there. Therefore, the King of Maluo Province thought that Ito Kunizo had died unexpectedly, and Yasuke came to report the news.

"Neither, Kunihime. Ito Kunizou... was killed by someone."

Yasuke thought about it again and again, and finally told the truth.

"What! Are they wild servants from somewhere? Or are they rioters? They are rebelling against them!"

The King of Mulu became furious when he heard this. Killing his subordinate Guo Zao directly, wasn't that the same as slapping him in the face?

"My Lord, it's neither of them. It's... it's the Han army that came across the sea, and their general said..."

Han Nu relayed to the King of Mulu exactly what Feng Xi had told him yesterday, and the King of Mulu was so angry that he smashed several clay bowls beside him.

"How dare you! Do you think that we, the Kingdom of Mulu, are afraid of the Han army? I will gather the army to attack them right now. Yasuke, you go back and calm them down first. I will come to rescue you after I gather the troops!"

The King of the Maluo Kingdom also knew that Yasuke had a special identity and could become an interpreter between the Han people and himself. Moreover, Yasuke's words seemed to imply that he was threatened, so he did not make things difficult for him. He just asked Yasuke to go back and tell Feng Xi that he had to think about it for two days to paralyze the Han people.

After hearing the words of the king of Mulu, Hannu lowered his head and said nothing, but indicated that he had understood.
