The next day.
Huo Qubing, Zhao Yun and Zheng Chenggong led the army and continued forward.
They wanted to join forces with Huo Guang.
Only more than 10,000 soldiers were left in Chikan City.
On the day they left, all the people in the city came to see them off.
Seeing this scene, many soldiers felt homesick.
The people living in Yizhou have been oppressed by Japanese pirates for too long.
Now their arrival has given a glimmer of hope to many people who have lived here for generations.
On Zhang Liao's side, after regaining the Penghu Islands, he also began to approach Huo Guang.
In short, the current Yizhou City has become a dangerous city for the Japanese pirates.
...
There are still ten days until the end of the year.
Xianyang City.
Ying Yuan walked alone in the Xianyang Palace.
At this time, heavy snow was falling.
Falling on his shoulders.
Many eunuchs behind him were worried about his health.
After all, it is not suitable to walk outside for too long on such a windy and snowy day.
Moreover, the weather is so gloomy and cold.
If the emperor caught a cold because of this, then everyone would be to blame.
"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, you should return to the palace!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
“…”
They all persuaded Ying Yuan to return to the palace.
But at this moment, he was in no mood.
All his thoughts were focused on Yizhou.
After Daji learned about the situation, she was worried that he would catch a cold, so she slowly came here with a cloak.
She personally put a cloak on Ying Yuan and said softly, "Your Majesty, go back."
Hearing this, he sighed and shook his head. "I want to go for a walk. You said that the New Year is coming soon. Can Huo Guang and his men recapture Yizhou before the New Year?"
The reason why he wanted Huo Guang to recapture Yizhou before the New Year was because he was worried that once the New Year was over, the civil strife in Sakura Country would end.
By then, there will not be such a good opportunity to bring the war to their homeland.
If Yizhou was recovered before the New Year, then after the New Year, Huo Guang would be able to immediately organize a large army to march to the Sakura Country.
Ying Yuan was really worried about this battle.
He utilized all the resources of the country.
In short, the imperial court has tried its best to help Huo Guang.
"His Majesty..."
Daji held Ying Yuan's arm affectionately and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, General Huo, I will definitely not let you down.
I heard that General Huo has completely blocked Yizhou City, but due to the heavy snow, it is not suitable to attack the city, so there is a delay.
As soon as the time comes, Yizhou City will be recaptured by our army."
Hearing this, the latter just nodded, but still felt a little melancholy.
Both he and the imperial court had made too many preparations for this battle.
Now, we have reached a critical stage.
It’s like you have finished an answer sheet and the results will be out soon.
Even a genius would feel excited and expectant at this time.
After a pause, Ying Yuan stood up, looking towards the direction of Yizhou, and said in a daze:
"If we lose this battle, or if Huo Guang fails to reach the Japanese mainland, then I will personally lead the army, all the soldiers of the Great Qin, and wage war against the enemy!"
Based on his understanding of the Japanese pirates, their favorite thing to do is to gamble on the country's destiny.
In the past, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 was a gamble on the nation's destiny, and the Japanese pirates won.
The Northeast Incident was also a gamble on the country's destiny, but they won the beginning but not the end.
Since the other party likes to gamble on the fate of the country so much, I will accompany him to the end.
At this moment, Daji was deeply impressed by the kingly aura displayed by Ying Yuan.
She even had some hallucinations.
The man in front of him was not just the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, he was also the ruler of heaven and earth.
...
Yizhou.
In the Qin army camp.
Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others have returned victoriously with Huo Guang.
After several consecutive battles, the army of 600,000 suffered only tens of thousands of casualties.
The enemy army only had less than 100,000 troops defending Yizhou City.
It can be said that the outcome will be decided.
Huo Guang looked around at the generals and slowly said, "Your Majesty has sent me an imperial edict, asking me to quickly end the battle in Yizhou.
Next year, we will gather our army and attack the Japanese mainland. Iju is far away from Japan, and a long journey will not be beneficial to our army.
But since His Majesty has spoken, we have no choice. All generals, obey your orders! "
As soon as the words fell.
Everyone bowed and said, "General, please give your orders!"
Huo Guang nodded and said solemnly: "Order the entire army. Within ten days, recapture Yizhou at all costs and bury all the Japanese pirates in Yizhou!"
"I obey your orders!"
Everyone said in unison.
After a pause, Guo Jia frowned and said, "What should we do with Toyotomi Hideyoshi? Since His Majesty wants us to attack the Japanese mainland, we will need a guide."
Upon hearing this, Huo Guang said bluntly, "Military Advisor, don't worry about the guide. Many people in Yizhou have been to Wa.
Your Majesty's decree has made it very clear: all the Japanese pirates in Yizhou will be killed without exception, not a single one will be spared!"
...
Toyotomi Hideyoshi has already sent people to the Sakura Country to ask for help.
However, no news came.
After several battles with the Qin army, he had become very clear in his mind.
Whether it is conventional combat or naval warfare, there is a huge gap between our side and the enemy.
