The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. How can we find brave soldiers to guard the four directions?
The Qin army's expedition to Japan was a battle that attracted attention from all sides.
Both the Qin State and other countries are paying close attention to it.
After all, this is a huge expedition destined to go down in history.
Later generations praised this battle as "a battle to establish the prestige of the Qin navy."
It is said that the influence of this battle on later Chinese generations is immeasurable.
Of course, the soldiers involved in this battle are only thinking about whether they can return home alive.
Even if I can't, I still hope that I can return to my roots.
On the main battleship.
Huo Guang stood majestically at the end of the deck, looking at the vast ocean and the endless ships, his mind full of thoughts.
Huo Qubing came up to him and asked seriously, "Are you worried about the outcome of this battle?"
Hearing the sound, Huo Guang looked around and found that only the two brothers were there. He sighed with worry and murmured:
"I have studied in detail the military strategies of famous Japanese generals such as Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Even in our Qin State, it is no less difficult for some generals. Some of them fought in this battle."
Huo Qubing asked curiously, "I heard that there was a civil war in Japan. What exactly is going on?"
Huo Guang said bluntly: "According to the investigation of the Jinyiwei, it seems that the emperor of Japan has passed away.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, Tokugawa Ieyasu and others were ambitious and were planning to launch a coup.
I don’t know what the situation is now. If they really launch a coup, it would be God’s help to our Great Qin.
We may be able to take advantage of this opportunity to capture Japan in one fell swoop."
Huo Qubing frowned and said, "We still have too little intelligence on Japan.
How many troops do they have on their homeland?"
Huo Guang responded, "The Japanese pirates claim to have an army of 1.5 million, but according to the Jinyiwei's investigation, there are only about 800,000.
Moreover, they are all controlled by the daimyo, who each act independently, ostensibly obeying the emperor's will, but in reality, harboring ulterior motives."
Judging from the number of troops on both sides, it is entirely possible for the Qin army of 600,000 to defeat the Japanese pirates.
It's even possible to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
But this is a fantasy.
Once the Japanese pirates are forced into a corner, the army they will immediately prepare will definitely be more than 800,000.
It would be like the Chu State attacking the Qin State and really taking Xianyang.
Then, all the people in some important cities in the south of Qin State will definitely be soldiers.
By then, millions of troops could be gathered in minutes.
A large army does not necessarily mean combat effectiveness, but it can also be a big problem.
Even if you meet a powerful leader, you can take this opportunity to reshape the universe and build a new world.
Therefore, during the expedition to Japan, Huo Guang never thought that he could conquer all of Japan's territory.
He just wanted to kill more people according to Ying Yuan's wishes.
It is of no use to adopt a conciliatory policy towards the Japanese pirates.
They have no gratitude.
They may even hold a grudge against you because of it.
Therefore, the best and most optimal way to deal with them is to hurt them.
In Ying Yuan’s previous life, if a nuclear weapon had not fallen from the sky and killed many Japanese pirates, they would still not have chosen to surrender.
This is human nature, and the only way is to hurt him.
If you hurt them, they will not hold a grudge against you, but will admire you and try their best to get in touch with you.
For Huo Guang and others, they had already conducted quite thorough research on the Japanese pirates.
"The Japanese pirates are not united internally. This is a godsend opportunity. Have you thought about how to fight this war?"
Huo Qubing asked.
Huo Guang said in a deep voice: "Focus on killing people. Divide the troops into six groups."
In fact, the best way to fight this war is to concentrate military forces, give priority to destroying a big name in the Japanese pirates' homeland, and then defeat them one by one.
Of course, this is when they have ulterior motives.
If they are pushed into a corner, they may be forced to clench their fists.
Dividing the troops into six groups and launching the campaign in a blitzkrieg manner gives them great flexibility.
As long as one of the forces can complete Ying Yuan's orders, then the Qin State will be the victorious side in this battle.
...
Mid-April of the fifth year of Chengping.
Huo Guang arrived near Wa.
Lü Bu and Zhao Yun led a force of 100,000 soldiers and advanced from the direction of Jiuzhou.
Bai Qi and Zheng Chenggong led a force of 100,000 soldiers and attacked from the four directions.
Zhang Liao and Dian Wei led a group of 100,000 soldiers.
Xun Yu and Xu Chu led a team of 100,000 soldiers.
Huo Qubing led his own army, commanding 60,000 elite cavalry.
Huo Guang and Guo Jia were the main camp, leading more than 100,000 troops and stationed in the rear, ready to rush to support at any time.
Six armies marched in unison.
...
Xianyang City.
Xuanzheng Hall.
When Ying Yuan received the battle report and learned that Huo Guang and his men were about to arrive in Japan, he seemed extremely excited.
At this moment, Cai Jing, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly coughed violently several times.
It felt like I was about to cough my lungs out.
Seeing this, Ying Yuan frowned and asked, "Are you okay, my dear?"
After Cai Jing's condition stabilized, he forced a smile and slowly said:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I am fine. I am just old and have some minor ailments. They are nothing serious."
Ying Yuan said worriedly, "There's no end to state affairs. You should rest more. I still rely on you for a lot."
