Marshal Yu Aixian ran madly with the box in his arms and flew back to the Yue State's capital "Hui Ji" in the evening.
The first words spoken by the Emperor of Yue when the king and his subjects met were quite panicked: "What happened? Did the front line suffer a major defeat?"
Yes, Yu Ai was the commander-in-chief. It must be no small matter to make the commander-in-chief so panicked that he abandoned his army and ran back alone. Under normal circumstances, only an irreparable and disastrous defeat could make a commander-in-chief so panicked.
Many ministers around also looked over, but some also looked at the big box that Yu Aixin was holding. What was this
Yu Aixian took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, it's a big deal, it's a big deal. It's not that the front line collapsed, the front line is very good. But what happened is more serious than the collapse of the front line. Just half a day ago, when our two countries launched a decisive battle, a force called 'Anyang' suddenly appeared. This Anyang has a total of nine ships, but the smallest ship is only about 24 zhang long, and the largest ship is 52 zhang long. They call it 10,000-ton class. Ton is the unit of measurement in Anyang, and one ton is approximately equivalent to 10 shi. In other words, when their ship is fully loaded, it weighs 100,000 shi. It is almost ten times that of our largest ship. And..."
The emperor suddenly interrupted Yu Aixian's speech and said, "Our latest large ship is almost the limit. If it is bigger, the ship will not be stable. You said that Anyang's ship is ten times the size of ours. Is it a magic weapon?"
"That's what I'm talking about. Their ships... are made entirely of steel! And their ships use a machine called an 'internal combustion engine', which replaces oars and sails. The maximum speed of a ship on the sea can reach 60 kilometers per hour. Converted into our units, it is about 250 miles per hour. And they are tireless. In addition, according to them, Anyang is about 80,000 miles to our north, and they drifted on the sea for a month before coming to us. It is said that they are allies with the Dragon Palace, which is why they can sail on the sea. In addition, the steel ship uses an offensive weapon called 'cannon', which can cause damage to Yuanying stage masters. On the ship, the deputy commander of the navy of Anyang demonstrated two salvos. A steel ship and more than a dozen cannons fired twice, and a thirty-foot island was directly wiped out. According to them, such a battle can last for a day, and a steel ship can destroy a million soldiers. And..."
"Don't worry, where are they? Go and invite them!" The Emperor of Yue believed that Yu Aixin would not lie. Although he didn't believe it in his heart, he still spoke.
Yu Aixian sighed, "I was invited by Wu Daqian of Wu State, so I went to Wu State!"
This time, before the emperor could speak, the prime minister next to him spoke, "If what you said is true, how could you let such a powerful Anyang go to Wu! If Anyang is really powerful, it will definitely bring us huge troubles!"
The emperor also looked over.
Yu Aixian smiled bitterly, "Then Wu Daqian offered Anyang an island with a radius of fifty miles, and it was a permanent gift. So, Anyang went to Wu."
The Emperor of Yue opened his mouth and finally sighed. This matter really cannot be blamed on Yu Aixian for not doing a good job. Wu Daqian has the qualifications to give an island without asking, but Yu Aixian does not have this right. This matter is really helpless.
