Chapter 255: Explosives? Divine Punishment
The maritime border area was originally Cao Ji’s sole territory, but now half of it was occupied by Cheng Yuan.
This whole process, from reason to result, was extremely shameless.
To guard against Cheng Yuan making underhanded moves behind his back, Cao Ji sent ships to stand watch in the middle that very night, officially saying it was a guard duty to monitor the sea surface and prevent Japanese pirates from launching a nighttime surprise attack.
But as for the real truth, both sides understood perfectly well.
Cao Ji’s actions were fully expected by Cheng Yuan.
He didn’t bother to deal with Cao Ji’s petty tricks; anyway, since they had successfully taken half of the harbor and could openly counterbalance Cao Ji’s navy, that was already a thirty percent strategic victory.
As for the remaining seventy percent, they would wait until the Eldest Prince arranged the explosives near the military camp to proceed.
Thus, Cheng Yuan began his “tyrant’s journey” near the harbor.
