Ying Yuan nodded and said, "Use Huo Guang to recapture Yizhou as soon as possible, and then prepare the army for war."
"Preparing for war?"
These words confused both Cai Jing and Cao Cao.
Logically speaking, the war would be over once Yizhou was recovered.
What other battles are there?
Ying Yuan said bluntly, "Didn't Cao Qing say that civil unrest has broken out in Wa? I plan to have Huo Guang fight in Wa after we recover Yizhou.
I don't expect him to fight to any great extent, I just hope he can teach the Japanese a lesson and teach them a painful lesson."
"His Majesty!"
Cao Cao bowed quickly and said, "Waguo is a long way from Yizhou. If we march a large army across such a long distance to attack Waguo, we will probably suffer heavy losses.
Right now, the country is in a state of disrepair and a war is not suitable."
In his eyes, the battle to recapture Yizhou was at most a local battle.
Qin can afford to fight.
But it’s different when a national war breaks out.
By then, the required supplies will increase exponentially.
Ying Yuan frowned and said, “Distance is not a problem, the Japanese can come to Yizhou and run rampant.
"Can't the army of the Great Qin army reach the Japanese? Minister Cao, do you know how many people of the Great Qin the Japanese pirates killed in Yizhou?"
Cao Cao remained silent.
Ying Yuan continued, "According to the Jinyiwei investigation, since the Japanese pirates occupied Yizhou, the original population of more than 500,000 in Yizhou has dropped sharply to more than 200,000.
In other words, the Japanese pirates slaughtered at least 300,000 of our Great Qin people in Yizhou! That's 300,000 people! I'm not some compassionate saint.
Since I have this opportunity, I will not let it go. I will repay the Japanese pirates double the number of people they kill in my Great Qin!
He killed 300,000 of my Great Qin people, so I will kill 600,000, 6 million, or even 60 million of them!
Since there are countless killing disasters, they are all inflicted on me, and have nothing to do with you!"
He was determined to take revenge.
If I don’t let go of this anger, let alone becoming a Daluo Jinxian, I won’t even be able to sleep well.
Besides, if he really killed 600,000 or even more Japanese pirates, I am afraid that people all over the world would think that he was a tyrant.
Then, this move will also benefit my own stupidity and failure of the country!
"I don't want to say anything more. According to my wishes, issue the imperial edict to Huo Guang."
Ying Yuan waved his hand.
He signaled to them that they could leave.
......
at the same time.
On the Yizhou side.
Huo Guang ordered a general named Bai Qi to lead 20,000 soldiers to attack the city.
Bai Qi was originally a centurion in the Xianyang City Imperial Guard.
Since Huo Guang saw that this man had good talent and was a good candidate for fighting, he wanted to promote him.
Later, when Bai Qi killed the Japanese pirates captives, he showed his ruthless and iron-blooded fighting spirit, which made Huo Guang look at him with admiration.
As a result, he was quickly promoted to lieutenant general commanding 10,000 people.
Before Bai Qi prepared to attack the city, Huo Guang said to him earnestly: "After Yizhou is recovered, I will personally commend you to His Majesty."
Hearing this, Bai Qi bowed and said, "Marshal, I joined the army not only to gain military merit, but more importantly, I hope to have a battle to fight."
