The Japanese envoys spoke Central Plains dialect.

Cao Shu asked him, "Can you say what we say in the Central Plains?"

"Go back to Huainan King." Nanshengmi said respectfully: "I have dealt with people from Central Plains and have also learned some Central Plains."

"I said it quite fluently." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked Nan Shengmi: "Do your Queen Mihu look down on me, the King of Huainan? She refused to see her face. What does it mean?"

"The queen has divine power and cannot meet men." Nan Shengmi said: "Please forgive me if you want to do so."

"I can't understand." Cao Shuo said: "I came to Izumo this time and was for the queen. I heard that she is a peerless beauty. I plan to talk to her about marriage."

"Please take back the life." Nao Shengmi quickly said: "The Queen has divine power and is our Amaterasu of Izumo. How can she be blasphemed by men?"

"Women should marry men and have children." Cao Shuo glared: "Since they are beautiful, how can they delay it?"

"I think the king is not over twenty years old." Nan Shengmi said: "The queen is nearly fifty years old. Could it be that the king still wants to marry him?"

"The older I get, the more delicious it is." Cao Shuo grinned: "Although I like tender people, I know many people. There are always princes of all ages that are about the same age as the queen. It is not difficult to introduce one to her."

"Is it because the king came to Izumo to blaspheme our queen?" Nan Shengmi said aloud: "If this is true, please go back. Izumo will not welcome you!"

"Are you sure?" Cao Shuo asked with a humble smile.

"For the sake of the queen's reputation, Izumo would rather die..." Nan Shengmi said arrogantly.

"Then I will fulfill your wishes." Cao Shu interrupted him and ordered to the side: "Send out the guests!"

Deng Zhan stepped forward and said to Nan Shengmi: "Please, messenger, I believe we don't have to do it!"

He glared at Cao Shu fiercely, Nan Shengmi turned around and left.

When he left the tent, Cao Shu said to everyone in the tent: "You can send orders to use troops. First, send some people to grab all the women in the nearby villages onto the boat. Whenever there is enough boat, they will be asked to return to Haixi first and hand over the people to Shi Guangyuan. He will take care of it first, and wait until I return to Haixi before dealing with it."

After receiving the order, Chen Dao said, "Young Master, there are not many villages nearby, just leave these things to Long Wenqi."

"Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy." Cao Shu said: "If you don't resist, keep them. We just need to take the woman away."

Chen Dao took the order and left.

Ju Su asked Cao Shu: "Does the young master really want to bring their queen back to the Central Plains?"

"I said that when I came to Izumo this time, no woman would be left behind." Cao Shuo said: "Although the queen is in her fifties, she is still a woman after all. I don't care about them, even if she is an old woman in her eighty years old, I will not leave half of them. When I returned to the Central Plains, I would rather raise them than leave half of them here."

Cao Shu's intention was very obvious, which was to make Izumo a barren land.

Although I don’t know why he did this, Ju Su and others didn’t ask much.

The order is issued and the Dragon Pattern Rider executes it immediately.

That night, Cao Shu heard the wailing of a woman not far from the military camp.

Walking out of the barracks and looking into the distance, he could only vaguely see a team marching towards the sea.

Standing behind Cao Shu, Deng Zhan said: "General Chen probably has looted all the nearby villages."

"This is just the beginning." Cao Shuo said: "When my uncle comes back, let him see me in the tent."

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao responded, while Cao Shu turned around and returned to the tent.

Chen Dao sent the captured women onto the warship.

Leading the Dragon Pattern Cavalry back to the military camp, Chen Dao dismounted, and Zhu Ao walked over to him.

"General Chen." Zhu Ao bowed his hand and said, "Young Master, please come over."

"Young man hasn't rested yet so late?" Chen Dao asked.

"I'm waiting for the general." Zhu Ao said, "Please come with me quickly."

Leaving the war horse to the soldiers, Chen Dao walked towards Cao Shu's tent accompanied by Zhu Ao.

When he arrived outside the tent, Zhu Ao reported to Cao Shu, and Chen Dao opened the curtain and walked in.

"Young Master is not asleep yet?" Chen Dao asked after saluting Cao Shuo.

"All the captured women have been settled?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's settled." Chen Dao said: "There are not many people, and there is not a single warship."

"How many people are you going to stuff on a boat?" Cao Shuo asked, "How many people from several villages can't even fit a boat?"

"This place is not close to Haixi." Chen Dao said: "There must be a thousand people to use warships to travel back and forth. The number of people is too small, and it is always too loss."

"Don't let the heads be too dense," Cao Shuo said: "The air on the warship is not circulating and the heads are too dense, which can easily cause infectious diseases. Although we have miraculous doctors, we did not follow Izumo after all. I think it's enough to have five or six hundred people."

"Follow the young master." Chen Dao said: "Next time I send someone over, I will tell the Navy."

"You don't need to go there for a special trip." Cao Shuo said: "I will let General Deng go over and pass the order."

"Young Master asked me to come over, wouldn't you just ask about this?" Chen Dao asked.

"Of course I won't just ask this." Cao Shuo said: "I asked you to come over because I want to ask you, are the soldiers of the Dragon Pattern Cavalry better now?"

"Young Master said that after more than ten days at sea, have the soldiers recovered?" Chen Dao asked back.

"That's right." Cao Shu said: "If the soldiers have not recovered yet, the army can push forward for a few more days."

"Young Master, don't worry." Chen Dao said: "The soldiers just can't stand the bumps in the sea. Now they have been off the boat for two or three days, and they have probably recovered after resting."

"Remember to make the soldiers better." Cao Shuo said: "Let them eat well and give them more meat. Only by filling their stomachs will the discomfort caused by sailing on the sea disappear faster. Today I was angry that Nanjin, and our army robbed several of their villages. In less than two days, Izumo people will come to fight. The real war is coming soon, so we can't be slacking off."

"Don't worry, young master, I will." Chen Dao said: "When robbing the village, in addition to robbing everyone, I also robbed their food. Those men who did not resist couldn't live long in the village without food, so they could only go to other places..."

"All robbed?" Cao Shuo asked.

"They're all robbed." Chen Dao replied: "Since you want to rob, can you keep it for them?"

"Always keep some." Cao Shuo said: "As long as they can fill their stomachs, they will not run around. The scattered Izumo people are easier to deal with than those who gather together."

"I understand." Chen Dao suddenly realized: "Next time there will be another robbery, and only half of it will be robbed."
