The two of them changed direction and continued to express their thanks with a sincere attitude.

"Now that Taira no Kiyomori is dead, that puppet army still only obeys Honda Tadakatsu's orders, but the caster is dead, and the effect of the subsequent puppetry will gradually weaken." Taiyi looked at Honda Tadakatsu and reminded him, "You'd better separate the soldiers in that puppet army according to their original camps as soon as possible, so that you can pick out those who will obey your orders even if they regain consciousness."

"Yes...huh?" Honda Tadakatsu raised his head and looked at Taichi in surprise, "General, do you mean...I, Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu, still have a chance to lead the army?"

"The whereabouts of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Liu Bei and his group have not yet been found." Taiyi nodded and replied, "I plan to have you lead a troop out to spread our news and find their whereabouts at the same time."

"Jiangdong has been completely recovered. This will be the first base for our human expeditionary army to completely eliminate the demon army."

"I hope that those who are still alive in this world will gather here."

"Yes, yes!" Honda Tadakatsu's posture became more and more standard. "Before I return to my lord, I, Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu, will obey the orders of Lord Raikou!"

"Inahime too!" the pretty girl next to her said with determination, following her father's words.

The news that Jianye City had been captured and the entire Jiangdong had been recovered spread throughout Jiangdong in a short period of time.

The rumor that Taiyi conquered Taira no Kiyomori and brought Taira no Kiyomori's head into Jianye City also led many people to set out from various places in Jiangdong to Jianye City.

Many people still remember the promise Sun Shangxiang made.

Waiting to witness the moment when a new world pattern is born.

There are far more people who are wary of Taiyi than those who are happy about his achievement of regaining Jiangdong.

Even the civil and military officials of Jiangdong had mixed feelings about him.

But 70% of those who had repaid Rachel with ingratitude were extremely wary of him.

But there was nothing they could do to him.

I can only hang out with the other 30% and pretend to be happy.

"From what Lord Lai Guang said, he intends to make Jianye City the new capital of Jiangdong." When the women gathered together, Zhang Chunhua suddenly raised this rather sensitive issue at the moment.

"Let the garrison commanders in various places leave their adjutants to garrison, and the general will go to Jianye City to discuss matters. His intention to make Jianye City the new capital of Jiangdong is already very obvious." Zhu Rong said as he sat aside and looked at Sun Shangxiang, who was wearing light makeup but still looked exceptionally pretty.

"I'm more concerned about what he plans to discuss." Bao Sanniang sat aside and muttered in a gloomy manner, "The entire Jiangdong has been recovered, but there is still no news about Guan Suo."

"If you want to find out about Guan Suo, you should go west." Wang Yuanji glanced at Bao Sanniang and said, "The headquarters of Shu Han is in the west."

"By the way, Sun Shangxiang, do you really want to marry Lai Guang together with Lian Shi?" Zhu Rong asked Sun Shangxiang with a scrutinizing look.

"Of course." Sun Shangxiang nodded and replied with a slightly tipsy face. "Lord Raikou defeated Taira no Kiyomori, avenged my father and brother, and also made great efforts to recover Jiangdong... Whether I marry him or hand over the entire Jiangdong to him, he deserves it."

"Tsk, he was supposed to be the King of the Southern Barbarians in my South." Zhu Rong clicked his tongue unwillingly.

"You must be joking. Nanzhong is not a good place, and it is also the sphere of influence of Shu Han. Besides, there are no suitable women in your Nanzhong to marry. If you can be the King of Nanzhong and control the whole Jiangdong, and get two beautiful wives and concubines, even a fool would know what to choose." Xiao Qiao looked at Zhu Rong sharply.

"Hmph." Zhu Rong rolled his eyes at her and didn't argue with her.

Both of them were newly widowed women, and Zhu Rong could empathize with her to some extent... Oh, well, there were quite a few widows and widows-to-be present.

Zhu Rong glanced at Da Qiao, who was sitting beside Sun Shangxiang and combing her hair with a sad look on her face, then looked at Zhang Chunhua, who had a somewhat melancholy look on her face, and shook his head helplessly.

Guan Suo and her daughter are now missing, and Guan Yu has avoided Bao Sanniang every time he saw her. This child could have some connection with the widow-to-be.

As for Wang Yuanji, she had already begun to regard herself as a prospective widow.

After all, according to Zhang Chunhua, most of the men in the Sima family have died.

In addition, her husband had died because of Ma Chao in his early years, and Wang Yi had been hunting down Ma Chao to avenge her husband.

And Aichi, who had recently confirmed the news of Asai Nagamasa's death.

Tsk, among the women here, except for those who have not yet married, 80% of the rest are destined to be widows.

"By the way, will Huanmeng Village send people to Jianye City?" Zhang Chunhua looked at the trainer and asked.

She was the most well-informed of all the people present.

"It should be." Bu Renshi nodded and replied, "The relationship between Huanmeng Village and Lord Raikou is quite harmonious, but the person going to Jianye City should not be Yamato. He injured his leg some time ago and is inconvenient to move, so Sakura will probably lead the team."

"Hey, can I have another wrestling competition with Rachel?" Xiao Qiao looked eager to try.

The people around her looked at her strangely.

Where did Xiao Qiao get the courage to wrestle with Rachel with such a petite body?

Even her elder sister Da Qiao couldn't understand this matter.

She didn't want to pay attention to this matter. After all, she had a more important matter that she wanted to know the answer to.

"What should we do with Lord Bofu's tomb?"

Not only Sun Ce's tomb, but also Sun Jian, Zhou Yu, and Sun Quan, whose bodies are now missing, have their cenotaphs in Wujun.

"Let's wait until we meet Lai Guang and then ask him about this matter." Sun Shangxiang's face also showed a bit of sadness.

"The discussion should also include this point... At the very least, Ding Feng will definitely bring up this issue during the discussion." Xiao Qiao said with a pout, somewhat unhappy.

"But, Ding Feng doesn't seem to be among those invited to the meeting." Wang Yuanji reminded, "Hasn't he always been your bodyguard?"

Xiao Qiao was stunned.

Chapter 65: Girls' Gathering (Dream Village)

"I never thought that we could actually live a life with enough food to eat." Namu looked at the full bowl of white rice and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

"And you can eat as much meat as you want." Hatsuho, who was sitting next to Naki, savored the meat in her mouth, her face looking as if it was about to melt. "And the meat tastes especially delicious."

"After all, a lot of salt was added." Sakura narrowed her eyes, "The supplies that Lord Raikou promised really exceeded our expectations."

"Indeed, even Luo rarely comes to eat lunch in the ghost house cafeteria." Hatsuho looked up at Luo who was sitting opposite her and joked.

"Because Miss Kasumi's cooking skills are very high." Xu looked at Hatsuho expressionlessly and explained, "and it's rare for her to come back."

"Although they are here to inform us to go to a place called Jianye City to have a meeting with Lord Raikou." Hatsuho put the chopsticks to her lips and took a few sips, then turned her head to look at Sakura, "Have we decided on the candidates for the meeting in Jianye City from Huanmeng Village?"

"Yamato probably can't leave, after all, he is still injured." Namu looked at Sakura curiously, and was quite looking forward to the candidates for the meeting.

"Tachibana, follow me." Sakura stopped using her chopsticks and replied with a complicated expression, "After all, there are not many people in our village. If too many people go, it will easily lead to the people and things in the village being damaged by the deserted soldiers and bandits outside."

"... Sakura, are you serious?" Hatsuho pouted in dissatisfaction, "Our Huanmeng Village is located in the heart of Jiangdong, and Jiangdong is now under the full control of Lord Raikou. How can there be organized bandits?"

"At most, they are just a bunch of scumbags who want to take advantage of others." Hatsuho continued, "But if we leave two or three samurai, we can destroy them all without any damage."

"On the contrary, it would be more dangerous for you and Lady Tachibana to travel together."

"It's not just two people." Sakura glanced at Hatsuho and said, "Miss Kasumi will also come with us."

"What! Not only are you not taking us to Jianye City to see the world, you're even going to take our cook away with you!" Hatsuho looked at Sakura in shock.

"I'm not your cook." Xia appeared behind Chushui at some point, and hooked her index finger, tapping Chushui's head lightly with her knuckles.

"Besides, without me leading the way, does anyone among you know in which direction Jianye City is and how far it is from Huanmeng Village?" Xia explained, staring at Hatsuho who was holding her head with a wronged look on her face.

"I don't know." Sakura was the first to shake her head.

"Well, let's just leave the boys behind and travel together as a group of girls!" Hatsuho restlessly proposed a new idea, "I don't want to stay in the village anyway! I want to see the new world!"

"Don't include me. I have no interest in leaving the village." Xu handed the empty bowl to Xia, "Another bowl, please."

"That's a city!" Hatsuho looked at Tsuyoshi in amazement and reminded him, "There will be many, many things we have never heard of! And there will be many, many delicacies that we have never eaten before, and we haven't even had the chance to hear about them!"

"Although I like to eat delicious food, I am not obsessed with it even if I have to travel far from the village to eat it." Xu replied calmly, "Rather than walking an unknown distance to get to Jianye City, I would rather eat and sleep, then sit in the courtyard and stare at the sky in a daze."

"Hmm - Xu really has no ambitions!" Hatsuho looked at Namu unwillingly, "What about Namu! You can't be like Xu, without any spirit of exploration into the unknown world!"

"Exploration spirit or something..." Namu smiled helplessly, "Although I am a little concerned about food, I am not negligent in my duties... Besides, compared to food, I would rather read medical books that I have never read before."

"Ah, come to think of it, Namu used to be a doctor." Hatsuho turned her head to look at Xia who was helping to fill the bowl with rice, "Is there a clinic or medical books in Jianye City?"

"I think so? I haven't paid much attention to this aspect." Xia blinked and answered innocently.

There was finally a hint of confusion in Namu's eyes.

"Hello, Sakura, just take me and Naki with you!" Hatsuho rushed directly to Sakura, hugged her waist and clung to her, "This is also to better protect Tachibana!"

"Well - I'll consider your opinions and then discuss it with Captain Yamato." Sakura paused, then replied.

Protecting Tachibana is a much better reason for Sakura than letting them go out to broaden their horizons and gain some knowledge.

Tachibana's safety is Sakura's only weakness.

So, she relented.

"But are there so many horses in Huanmeng Village?" Xia asked as she sat down cross-legged and picked up her bowl.

"...That's right! We don't have that many horses." Sakura clapped her hands and looked at Hatsuho with some regret. "Including the horse that Kasumi brought when she came, there are only four horses in our village now. We have to keep one in case the village needs it, so there are only three horses that can be used. Tachibana, me, and Kasumi, that's exactly three people."

"Why is this so..." Hatsuho pressed her temple, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Sakura, "I don't mind riding on the same horse with you, Sakura, so I'll ride on the same horse with Tachibana."

"Why does it sound like I'm begging you to come up?" Sakura rolled her eyes and complained.

"Besides, your tone makes me think that it would be better for me to share a horse with Tachibana than with you."

"It's settled!" Hatsuho smiled like a fox.

It's no secret in the village that Sakura is a sister-con. Everyone knows that they can control her with Tachibana.

"I'll go tell Fugaku Hayato and Ibuki and the others so they can arrange the duty shifts as soon as possible!" Hatsuho said and was about to run out.

"Speaking of which, today's meat tastes great. Can you tell me what kind of meat it is?" Namu looked at the shredded meat on his chopsticks curiously, then turned to look at Xia and asked.

"It's horse meat." Xia replied, "After all, during the chaos of the battle, there will always be some horses shot to death by arrows. Raikou had people remove the bones and meat of the dead horses and pickle it for future use."

"When I came this time, he specifically asked me to bring ten kilograms for everyone to try."

"Lai Guang is really thoughtful." Namu said with emotion.

"Is this an olive branch for in-depth communication with our Dream Village?" Sakura raised her eyebrows and looked at Xia and asked.

"That's true." Xia nodded and replied, "After all, there are not many people who can barely keep up with Lord Raikou at the moment, and the people in Huanmeng Village are not only the closest to him among these people, but they have also cultivated a tacit understanding with him early on, which is of great use to him."

Chapter 66: External troubles have not yet been resolved, internal troubles arise

It is said to be a meeting of the party, but generally speaking it is just distributing the tasks.

For example, Honda Tadakatsu led a quick response force to move from the territory of Shu Han to various places. Its main task was to publicize that Jiangdong had returned to the control of the expeditionary army, and hoped that people with lofty ideals from all over the world would gather in Jiangdong to regroup.

The secondary task is to find the traces of Tokugawa Ieyasu and others.

Guan Yu, Jiang Wei and other Shu Han generals led their soldiers from Jiangdong, the border area between Jiangdong and Shu Han, to attack the evil army in Shu Han's territory, intending to take over Shu Han's territory.

The former important officials of Jiangdong were stationed in various cities to restore Jiangdong to new vitality.

Zhu Rong led the Nanman Army, Joan of Arc led her French troops, and Shibata Katsuie and his Ashigaru troops, led by Taigong Wang, went to Kyushu to find out the position of Mori Motonari, and Taigong Wang would decide whether to attack by force or to form an alliance.

Ningning serves as the captain of the scout team and works together with Yukimura Sanada and the female kunoichi.

As for Cao Wei...there are no loyal ministers of Cao Wei in the expeditionary army now.

Wang Yuanji and Zhang Chunhua had no intention of making do with the men of the Sima family because some of them died or disappeared. They just gave in and mingled with girls' groups, as if they were giving up Cao Wei and joining Jiangdong.

Taichi brought Sakura, Naki, Hatsuho, who came from the Dream Village for a meeting, as well as Rachel, Kasumi, Ayane, Momiji and Trainer to form a special action team to track down the demon snake and try to completely eliminate the harm caused by the demon snake.

Juhua will stay in Jianye City for the time being, following Sun Shangxiang, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and familiarizing herself with the workings of this world.

After the meeting, Taiyi called Sun Shangxiang, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Lu Kang and Ding Feng to a side hall and announced to them his planned regulations on urban construction and public security management.

We want them to manage and supervise these two aspects in Jianye City.

As for the question raised by Da Qiao about the "Sun family's cenotaph" and "Sun Ce's tomb", Taiyi directly designated Wu County as the Sun family's exclusive "cemetery".

Let’s not move the graves. Let the Sun family members sleep peacefully underground.

Before leaving, Sun Shangxiang mustered up her courage, and while Taiyi wasn't paying attention, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Taiyi on the corner of his mouth.

Then he turned around and ran away with a red face.

When a few smart people saw this, their eyes flickered slightly.

Having all survived troubled times, they thought they knew exactly what Sun Shangxiang's action meant.

Claim your sovereignty... or rather, take the throne.

After all, from beginning to end, Taiyi never showed any recognition of Sun Shangxiang's promise to use Jiangdong as her dowry.

It is still unknown whether Taiyi will really marry Sun Shangxiang, or occupy Jiangdong and then form an alliance with other overlords through marriage.

So, Sun Shangxiang is feeling insecure and guilty?

In the crowd, Zhuge Ke, who was trying his best to reduce his presence to the weakest, had his brows trembling slightly, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Kaihime, Aichi and Jeanne.
