Ono Jiro was taken aback, then said, "General, if we take Linbin City and give everything to these bastards, then we're basically... "
Before he could finish speaking, Huang Tianwei coldly said:
"What does this matter?"
"You can't even figure out how to bribe people?"
"You!" Ono Jiro's expression changed slightly, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.
He had always disliked Huang Tianwei, who was clearly a corrupt official, yet his status and position were above his own.
Even Murata treated him with utmost courtesy, making him, a true Japanese, feel inferior in comparison.
Seeing Ono's indignant expression, Murata smiled and said:
"Alright, alright, Ono-kun, what we want is the entire Dagan. What does this mere Linbin City matter?"
"Go and gather these surrendered soldiers and explain to them the benefits of capturing Linbin City."
"Of course, you also need to explain the consequences of failing to capture Linbin City." Murata's voice gradually lowered:
"If we can't break through the city gates, then we'll just have to wait to die!"
"Yes, General!" Koba Jiro stood up and saluted.
Huang Tianwei, stroking his chin, chimed in:
"We really can't delay any longer. I have a feeling that if we keep dragging this out, something might happen."
"Murata-kun, the original plan was to win quickly and capture as many cities as possible as possible. The current progress is a bit slow..." He frowned.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ono Jiro glanced at Huang Tianwei and said coldly:
"Lord Tianwei, it's easy to say, but it won't be that simple in a fight!"
"Everyone wants to take the city as quickly as possible, but we are fighting across borders, so we have to take into account the losses."
"The greatest victory for us is to capture the city at the lowest possible cost!"
Huang Tianwei picked up his teacup but did not reply.
Murata laughed and said, "What? Tenwei-kun, are you worried about the reinforcements that Song Ke mentioned earlier?"
"At this point, do you really think a large force of troops is coming?"
"Where did these soldiers come from? And whose men are they?"
"Is it a large-scale attack on the emperor? Qin Ze's troops? Or troops from other places? Who will mobilize them? How will they get here?"
At this point, he stood up, stretched, and said with a smile:
“Lord Tianwei, it’s good to plan ahead, but sometimes it can also make you feel anxious.”
“Hmm… let me think…” Murata hesitated for a moment, then continued:
“Five days. Five days from now, I believe we will no longer be in the military camp, but in…” He looked at Ono Jiro.
Jiro Ono laughed heartily and replied:
"Linbin City!"
"Hahahaha!" Murata's laughter drifted out from the tent.
"Go ahead, Ono-kun! I hope you can bring me some good news next!"
"Yes, General!"
"This humble general will go and gather those men immediately. Five days! Five days later! This humble general will await your arrival in Linbin City!"
Without another word, Jiro Ono strode out, full of confidence.
