The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 1298 If you want to take it, you must give it first

There were only about seventy people on the two enemy ships.

Among them, more than 20 were seriously injured.

Yun Zheng and his team didn't care about the wounded at all.

After Zhao Liuliang ordered his men to hoist the spare sails, he escorted a few dusty enemy soldiers back onto the treasure ship to report to Yun Zheng.

"What are our casualties?"

Yun Zheng immediately asked about the casualties.

"Nineteen men died on my side, and seventeen were seriously injured. We haven't had time to count the casualties on the port side..."

Zhao Liuliang reported.

In his opinion, this battle loss is within an acceptable range!

However, this battle cannot be considered a victory.

If Yun Zheng's personal guards had not carried explosives, the outcome of this battle would have been hard to say.

Compared with the enemy, they still lack practical combat experience.

"Order people to rescue the wounded as soon as possible!"

Yun Zheng gave an order and ordered his men to take the prisoners away for interrogation separately.

Their interrogation method was very simple. They simply tied up the feet of several people and threw them into the sea, then dragged them across the sea.

After more than an hour of interrogation, Zhao Liuliang came to report the results of the interrogation.

This group of people are indeed from Yu Country.

But they were not pirates, but subordinates of a lord named Sanada Takeshi from Yu Country.

Although the Yu Kingdom is not large, it has more than ten lords of varying sizes.

These lords were equivalent to the princes of the Yu State. Although they nominally recognized the rule of the king of the Yu State, they actually acted independently.

Powerful lords could even influence the ruler of a country and turn him into a mascot, much like the powerful ministers of the Central Plains dynasties.

These lords would also attack each other and annex each other's troops and territories.

A few months ago, Takeshi Sanada was defeated by another great lord and could only cruise on the sea with his remaining troops, occasionally carrying out sneak attacks and looting.

But because of this, they angered many lords.

Today, they have almost no place to stand in Yu Country.

Now they are living on a small island nearby.

But there were not enough supplies on the island to feed them.

So, now they also do some pirate activities.

Takeshi Sanada led his troops to attack them, mainly for their warships and the supplies on board.

Yun Zheng thought for a while and asked, "How many troops do they have?"

"About two thousand men."

Zhao Liuliang replied: "They brought about 1,100 people this time, and there are still several hundred people left on the island."

Yun Zheng: "Did they have anything to do with the sneak attack on Yuzhou last year?"

"no!"

Zhao Liuliang replied: "They all said that it was Yuan Changzheng who did it..."

It was precisely because of the large amount of supplies and wealth looted from Daqian last year that Yuan Changzheng's strength increased dramatically. He defeated several lords of Yu Kingdom in succession and became the most powerful lord of Yu Kingdom in one fell swoop.

The person who defeated Takeshi Sanada was none other than Minamoto no Nagamasa.

Minamoto Nagamasa?

Yunzheng remembered the name.

"Go ask them who among them is most familiar with Takeshi Sanada!"

Yun Zheng instructed Zhao Liuliang again.

"I have already asked clearly."

Zhao Liuliang replied: "There is a man named Oshima inside. He is the brother-in-law of Sanada Takeshi. After Sanada Takeshi was defeated, he followed Sanada Takeshi in his escape."

Yun Zheng: "Go and bring the one called Dadao to me!"

Zhao Liuliang took the order and quickly brought Oshima to Yun Zheng.

As soon as Oshima came over, he knelt down obediently.

"Do you know who this king is?"

Yun Zheng stared at Dadao with sharp eyes, and the aura of a superior almost made Dadao unable to straighten his back.

Oshima shook his head in panic, then nodded suddenly.

"Do you know?"

Yun Zheng's voice suddenly turned cold.

"Know...know."

Oshima bowed his head, "You are the prince of Daqian."

"and then?"

Yun Zheng asked.

Oshima was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

He only heard those people repeatedly calling Yun Zheng "Your Highness", and seeing that they had such a powerful fleet, he guessed that Yun Zheng was the prince of Daqian.

As for the rest, he has no idea!

Yun Zheng glanced at Dadao calmly and ordered Zhao Liuliang: "Tell him who I am!"

"listen!"

Zhao Liuliang stared at Dadao: "Your Highness is the sixth prince of my Daqian, the King of Jingbei appointed by the emperor himself, the governor of Shuobei, and the general of the auxiliary country. He is also the King of Da Zhaori of Beihuan, acting on behalf of the Great Chanyu of Beihuan..."

Oshima was a little confused when he heard Yun Zheng's series of names.

Oshima subconsciously raised his head and looked at the two of them stupidly.

Obviously, he doesn't know the value of these titles.

"Just remember that my name is Yun Zheng!"

Yun Zheng looked at Oshima coldly: "I will order someone to give you a small boat and let you go back! Tell Sanada Takeshi for me that if he wants to seek revenge on Minamoto Nagamasa, he should come to Shuobei to find me! If he doesn't know how strong I am, he can send people to any place in Zhenhe, Liguo, Beihuan and Daqian to inquire!"

what?

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Zhao Liuliang and the guards around Yun Zheng looked at Yun Zheng in surprise.

Your Highness is actually going to let them go?

Give them back the ship?

They thought that His Highness was going to skin and drain the tendons of these damn Yu people!

They didn't expect it, and neither did Oshima.

Oshima looked at Yun Zheng in shock as well, "Your Highness...are you really going to let us go?"

"In my eyes, you are nothing but ants. It doesn't matter whether I let you go or not!"

Yun Zheng smiled contemptuously, "You'd better tell Sanada Takeshi everything I said without missing a word. Forget it, since you can't remember so many words, I'll just write a letter and ask you to deliver it to Sanada Takeshi on my behalf!"

Having said that, Yun Zheng returned to the cabin.

Not long after, Yun Zheng came out with a letter.

Yun Zheng handed the letter to Dadao and told Zhao Liuliang: "Including him, release eleven people! Give them a small boat and a month's worth of supplies!"

"Your Highness, are you really letting me go?"

Zhao Liuliang asked in a low voice.

"Of course!"

Yun Zheng nodded gently, "Okay, let's do it quickly!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Liuliang accepted the order.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness..."

Happiness came so suddenly that Oshima kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.

"Okay, go ahead!"

Yun Zheng waved his hand gently, "Tell Sanada Takeshi that I am not begging him, I am giving him a chance! If he wants to refuse, before he refuses, send someone to find out about my strength first, it will not do him any harm!"

"Yes Yes……"

Oshima nodded repeatedly and held the letter tightly in his hand.

Soon, Zhao Liuliang led his men to send Oshima onto a small boat, and took a few lightly injured prisoners from the ship and handed them over to Oshima.

Watching the small boat leave their fleet, the guard beside him couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, isn't it too easy for them to let them go like this?"

"If you want to take, you must first give!"

Yun Zheng turned his head and looked at the guards with a faint smile on his face.

"What's the point of killing a dozen pirates?"

"We need to tap their value and make use of them!"

"Let them lead our army into Yu Country!"

"Destroy their country and slaughter their people!"
