The Japanese army deployed a large number of ninjas to lurk in Daqin.
When I learned that the Jinyi Guards were divided into three groups and left Xianyang City together.
They immediately realized that something was unusual.
He originally planned to set up an ambush on the route that the Jinyiwei had to pass.
But who could have predicted that at this critical juncture, many heroes from the Qin Dynasty would also be dispatched.
They killed ninjas everywhere.
A battle between the martial arts world began.
Longhu Mountain, Wudang, Shushan Sword Sect, etc., all sent a large number of masters.
After this battle, according to the estimates of those who were curious, there were about a thousand ninjas who came to Daqin.
However, less than a hundred people were able to return to Japan.
Of course, there were also considerable casualties in the Qin martial arts world.
However, the cost is definitely lower than that of Japanese ninjas.
With the escort of those chivalrous men, the Jinyiwei finally handed the imperial edict to Huo Guang.
Of course, this also includes Yuhuatian.
The journey was relatively safe and sound.
...
Quanzhou.
In the navy camp.
Huo Guang summoned all the generals to discuss the matter and made public the time of the expedition announced by the emperor himself.
Then, he said earnestly, "Naval warfare is different from land warfare. In this battle, we either don't fight, or we fight, and we must make sure that the first battle is the final one.
It would be best if we could decide the outcome in one battle! Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to attack Yizhou by sea."
Then, Zheng Chenggong talked about some specific situations in Yizhou.
"The enemy has currently placed its main force in Yizhou City, totaling over 200,000 Japanese pirates.
As for Chikan City, which forms a horn with Yizhou City, there are only less than 100,000 garrison troops.
At that time, our army will advance in three directions, two of which will be responsible for diverting the enemy's attention in Yizhou.
Another main force can take the opportunity to attack Chikan City. As long as we can take down Chikan City, our army will have a place to land.
By then, the entire Yizhou will be in our army's hands."
He had been the governor of Quanzhou for many years and had always wanted to recapture Yizhou.
So, a lot of work went into that.
Now, those preparations can be used today.
Soon, Huo Guang made a strategic deployment:
"Vanguard Zhang Liao, with 50,000 men, captured the Penghu Islands;
I will personally lead an army of 250,000 to confront the enemy head-on.
Zheng Chenggong, Zhao Yun, and Huo Qubing, the three of you will lead an army of 300,000 and capture Chikan City in the shortest possible time.
Join me in forming a pincer attack from the front and back to recapture Yizhou in one fell swoop!
Gentlemen, if we fail in this battle, we will die!"
As soon as the words fell.
All the generals stood up and bowed solemnly, saying, "Yes!"
...
Xianyang.
Yu Huatian came to the prime minister's residence to report.
Cai Jing stroked his beard and said, "You have done a good job. After the battle of Yizhou is over, I will make sure you get what you want."
Yu Huatian clasped his fists and responded, "Thank you, Prime Minister."
After he left, Cao Cao came out from behind the screen and asked in confusion, "Why would the Prime Minister help such a person?"
I have to say that Boss Cao does have the ability to judge people.
He felt that Yu Huatian was a deep-minded person and not someone who was easy to control.
Cai Jing said with a smile, "We already have the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard. I don't think Your Majesty would mind having one more factory or guard.
I intend to make this person the new head of the Imperial Guards."
Cao Cao frowned slightly.
Cai Jing explained: “There are two reasons for doing this.
First, the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard fought too hard, which could easily damage their vitality.
Secondly, these two organizations are too loyal to Your Majesty. If one day, I step down.
Then, there will be no one in the court who can check and balance Your Majesty, which is not a good thing.
The Factory Guard is a double-edged sword that hurts both people and the body. Therefore, building a similar organization can create a three-legged tripod effect.
The new factory guards will be loyal to the officials. The key is whether you can control the eunuch named Yu Huatian."
Cao Cao understood what he meant.
Although Lai Junchen was the Minister of Justice.
But for a cruel official like him, he had no choice but to be loyal to the emperor.
If one day the emperor no longer needs him, he will surely be drowned in the spit of civil and military officials.
Becoming the target of public criticism is definitely not a good outcome.
Lai Junchen was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so the Embroidered Uniform Guard was naturally only loyal to the emperor.
In this way, the emperor will have two sharp swords in his hands. Wouldn't he be able to kill scholars and officials at will in the future?
Therefore, finding someone who can be used to form a brand new factory and guard organization is a good way to balance the court.
"Counting the days, Quanzhou should be arriving soon, right?"
Cai Jing murmured.
Cao Cao nodded, "It's almost there, only four or five days left."
As the two talked about this, Cai Jing suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty didn't use you when you recaptured Yizhou this time. Do you feel resentful?"
In fact, not only he but also the civil and military officials did not expect to appoint Huo Guang as the commander-in-chief.
They originally thought that Cao Cao was the best candidate to take command.
After all, he was supported by His Majesty.
Moreover, he is also proficient in military tactics.
They even defeated the State of Chu.
Wouldn't it be easy to use him to deal with a small country like Japan?
But what is the truth?
Your Majesty, however, appointed Huo Guang, who had not been on the battlefield for a long time.
I have to say, it’s quite surprising!
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has his own plans. As a subject, how could I harbor resentment?
