Chapter 245: The Fall of Yue Country_3

Just as the clan officials had recommended, Emperor Chengyou was indeed intelligent, studious, merciful, and well-mannered.

On his first day on the throne, the first decree he issued was not to hold a state funeral for Emperor Hongdao.

Instead, it was sent directly to Grand General Shen Qiu.

In the decree, Emperor Chengyou praised Shen Qiu for his contributions to defending the country, commanding the armies of the world, and successively quelling the rebellions of Jianan, Dongting, and Xichuan counties, thus restoring peace to the local areas.

Furthermore, Shen Qiu defeated Jinghai Country and Zhou Country, expanding Da Yue by establishing three new counties: Jiuzhen, Hanzhong, and Xiangyang.

In theory, Grand General Shen Qiu, who served under the Emperor of Yue, held the highest military command. The achievements of Bai Mengyang, Lu Yuan, and others in the country should also be partly attributed to him.

Shen Qiu, as the leader, should take greater credit.
