Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator.

However, just as the Japanese thought that the Han army's impressive lineup was already incredibly astonishing, another sea ship slowly sailed into the port, followed by the sound of horses' hooves.

Immediately afterward, one white horse after another appeared in the eyes of the Japanese.

It should be known that Yingzhou itself had no horses.

It was not until the Yamatai Kingdom became a dependency of the Great Han that grassland horse breeds were introduced from the Great Han.

Unfortunately, like 'oranges south of the river, turn to trifoliate oranges north of the river,' the grassland horse breed, after adapting to the soil and water of Yingzhou, not only had difficulty breeding, but even now, only a very small number of nobles or generals in Yingzhou barely have horses.

However, these horses raised in Yingzhou are also surprisingly short, roughly the same height as ordinary Japanese people, even shorter than ordinary Han people, and cannot be compared with the tall horses ridden by the White Horse Volunteers today.

What's more, each horse that appeared was pure white.

This orderly and extravagant scene completely dazzled the Japanese present, to the point that they were so attracted by the white horses that they didn't even notice the aura exuded by the White Horse Volunteers themselves.

A full two thousand White Horse Volunteers slowly disembarked from the sea ship and lined up behind the infantry to stand guard. Only then did many Japanese gradually notice the gazes of these cavalrymen on white horses, looking at them as if they were looking at mere grass.

These White Horse Volunteers were all men of You and Yan, the most generous and heroic, and undoubtedly the most hateful of foreigners among the thirteen states of the Great Han.

The righteousness followed by the 'White Horse Volunteers' is not only the righteousness of vowing to live and die together, but also the great righteousness of resisting foreign races.

Therefore, even though Zhao Yun, the commander of this White Horse Volunteer, had not given any orders, when facing the Japanese, the 'White Horse Volunteers' instinctively exuded hostility and killing intent.

For a time, under the shroud of hostility and killing intent exuded by the 'White Horse Volunteers,' the whole scene seemed to quiet down.

Especially the Japanese, who did not dare to make the slightest noise, for fear of attracting the attention of the White Horse Volunteers riding on tall white horses.

Himiko, the queen of the Yamatai Kingdom, couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and hurriedly asked Jia Xu in a low voice.

"Lord Jia, is... is this really okay?"

"No problem, no problem."

Jia Xu replied nonchalantly, but he was also secretly drumming in his heart.

Previously, Wu Commandery was also particularly short of horses, and due to geographical problems, Wu Commandery was also not suitable for developing horse administration. All war horses were traded back from Youzhou by sea ships.

Therefore, even if Wu Commandery had cavalry, it was only able to barely form a force of several thousand, and those cavalry, in the eyes of Jia Xu, a Xiliang native, could not be considered true elites.

But wasn't Li Zikun leading troops to assist Youzhou in resisting the Wuhuan?

It should have been a reckless move with heavy losses, so how could he have gained such a cavalry force?

And they are all white horses...

Extravagant!

Too extravagant!

Moreover, the elite level of the White Horse Volunteers was fully revealed in every move they made. In Jia Xu's view, these two thousand White Horse Volunteers were more valuable than twenty thousand infantrymen.

'Did Li Zikun go to Youzhou to fleece the sheep? Or did he help the Wuhuan plunder Youzhou instead?'

At this moment, Jia Xu, who was also not very clear about the war in Youzhou, felt that Li Ji had given him a big surprise.

However, Jia Xu's somewhat absent-minded answer obviously did not reassure Himiko, and she continued to ask.

"The strength and wealth of the suzerain state are truly shocking. Even among the rare war horses, they can choose all white war horses as mounts. It's just... it's just that the eyes of those cavalrymen seem unfriendly..."

"Let the queen laugh. It is because the envoy Li Ji is most fond of white, so his style is inevitably a little willful. He abandoned mixed-color war horses and only selected white war horses to form the cavalry..."

After a pause, Jia Xu racked his brains before coming up with an explanation, saying.

"As for the unfriendly eyes, that is entirely because they have not yet confirmed the queen's identity, so those cavalrymen are instinctively on guard."

"My Great Han is most friendly to foreign races. We pity the suffering of the surrounding foreign races, and are often worried. All our thoughts are that we wish all countries could prosper and flourish together with the Great Han."

This outrageous statement, coupled with Jia Xu's gentlemanly demeanor, was surprisingly convincing.

In addition, the Han army's deliberate display of its mighty military power had already made the Yamatai Kingdom officials extremely awed by the Great Han.

The Yamatai people's inherent nature of admiring the strong made all the officials, including Himiko, believe what Jia Xu said.

While Jia Xu showed the demeanor of an elegant gentleman, his eyes secretly glanced at Kunu, whose face was full of fanatic excitement.

As the largest ship in the fleet, the "Yingzhou" began to dock, Jia Xu waved his sleeves and introduced.

"Everyone, this is the flagship that the envoy Li Ji is riding on."

Immediately, many Japanese unconsciously stared at the completely stopped "Yingzhou," waiting for the person on the "Yingzhou" to appear.

The next moment, Li Ji, dressed in brocade and silk, with a jade belt around his waist, holding a folding fan in his hand, eight feet tall, with a face like jade, and full of elegance and affability, appeared in the eyes of the Japanese.

Perhaps, in Wu Commandery, because of Li Ji's great talent and reputation, his outstanding appearance was inadvertently overshadowed, making his outstanding appearance the least noticeable of the labels he possessed.

However, what cannot be denied is that at first sight, people will always instinctively judge people by their appearance.

This made Li Ji, whose temperament and appearance were both extraordinary, cause a series of exclamations of admiration as soon as he appeared.

Li Ji's appearance can be said to perfectly match the imagination that many Japanese had previously had in their hearts about the envoy of the suzerain state. No one in the Yamatai Kingdom could match his appearance and bearing. The only difference from their imagination was that the envoy's age seemed to be much younger than they had imagined.

After Himiko reacted, she found that Li Ji had already led a group of subordinates and guards off the ship and stood still, his eyes calmly scanning the surroundings.

This made Himiko's originally adjusted mentality immediately become abnormally nervous, and she hurriedly asked Jia Xu in a low voice.

"Lord Jia, how should I pay my respects to the envoy?"

Jia Xu said with a smile. "Please wait a moment, Queen. Allow this old man to explain the situation to the envoy first."

Immediately, Jia Xu took Jiang Qin and Jia Mu and strode towards Li Ji.

At this moment, Li Ji, looking around, saw the group of Yamatai Kingdom officials led by Himiko, with expressions full of flattery and worship, and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu of MacArthur's initial arrival in Yingzhou, with a group of high-ranking officials welcoming him.

The Han army stationed in Yingzhou?

The supreme commander of the Han army has arrived?

Familiar, too familiar...

This instead made Li Ji's expression reveal a hint of weirdness, and then he looked at Jia Xu who was walking towards him, wanting to see what kind of medicine Jia Xu was selling in his gourd of a surprise.

If Jia Xu had arrived in Yingzhou four months earlier and only had this little achievement, Li Ji could be sure that Jia Xu was definitely slacking off.

Moreover, Li Ji came to Yingzhou not with peace, nor did he only need a little garrison land, which would be meaningless to the current Liu Bei Group.

Faced with Li Ji's gaze, Jia Xu's face showed a sense of joy at reunion after a long absence.

Although Jia Xu and Li Ji can be said to be mutually disliked and vigilant, there is no doubt that they are also rare confidants in another aspect.

In addition to the same "cunning" and not like a serious person, one has no moral bottom line, and the flexibility of the other's moral bottom line is still unknown...

"Zikun, long time no see, I miss you very much..."

Jia Xu said, while approaching Li Ji, he whispered. "Later, if the child held by the Yamatai Kingdom's queen encounters danger, Zikun can let General Zhao rescue him."

Li Ji's eyes moved upon hearing this, but his whole person remained calm.

Afterwards, Jia Xu stood beside Li Ji and said loudly.

"The envoy has ordered that if the descendants of the Japanese are here, please bring the seal granted by the late Emperor Guangwu to come forward."

As soon as these words came out, Himiko's spirit was shaken, and she hurriedly waved to a team of Japanese waiting aside, signaling them to come over.

Immediately, Himiko walked directly to the second-to-last Japanese in this team of Japanese, all wearing cloth bags around their waists, and untied the cloth bag around his waist, carefully pouring out a seal cast from a mixture of gold and copper.

This is the seal that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu bestowed upon the Japanese in those years, acknowledging that the Yamatai Kingdom was one of the dependent states of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

With the current technology and capabilities of the surrounding foreign races, it is impossible to counterfeit the seal of the Great Han Dynasty.

When holding this seal, Himiko obviously became a little more careful and nervous, and then slowly and respectfully began to walk towards Li Ji.

At this moment, Himiko's heart was fiery, and she never thought that this Yamatai Kingdom seal that had been passed down could summon the help of the mighty Han army.

'With the help of the Great Han, how can the mere Kunu Kingdom compete with this queen?'

'Unifying Yingzhou is just around the corner. At that time, this queen will definitely make that bitch Himiko of the Kunu Kingdom kneel in front of me and let me humiliate her...'

However, just as Himiko, holding the seal, unconsciously began to have fantasies, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be a commotion among the Japanese behind her.

The next moment, before Himiko could turn her head to look back, a long spear directly pierced Himiko's chest from behind, causing Himiko, who felt a sharp pain, to loosen her hands, causing the seal to fall to the ground.

Himiko couldn't care less about where the attack came from, and instinctively reached out to grab in the direction of the seal.

Seal!

That seal that Lord Jia had repeatedly emphasized, only the seal could represent the identity of a dependent state of the Great Han, and only the seal could allow the envoy to recognize the identity of the descendants of the Japanese.

To lose the seal was to lose the symbol of the Han Dynasty's support—a true treasure of the nation!

However, no matter how hard Himikoyumi gritted her teeth and tried to grab the seal, a pair of large hands were even quicker, catching it before she could. (End of Chapter)
