Huo Qubing even hung Takeda Shingen's body on the top of the city wall.
This famous Japanese city was called a ghost town by the Japanese for a long time in later generations.
Because every late at night, there would be Japanese people wailing there.
The generals under Takeda Shingen still hadn't found Huo Qubing and others.
It's as if they disappeared from the face of the earth.
In a valley somewhere in Koshu.
Tens of thousands of Qin troops temporarily gathered here.
Huo Qubing and some generals were discussing what to do next.
“General, now that Takeda Shingen is dead, the generals under his command are no longer convinced of their loyalty.
If we seize this opportunity to occupy Jiazhou, we will have a great chance of success!"
A soldier spoke up.
He is right, the current situation is indeed like this.
However, occupying Koshu would inevitably consume too much time and energy.
For Huo Qubing, this was actually a losing proposition. "It would probably take at least one or two months to capture the entire Jiazhou.
Such a long time will bring many variables. What will happen if the other daimyo of Japan come to support Koshu?"
Now that Takeda Shingen is dead, Koshu is facing the embarrassing situation of being leaderless and will definitely be coveted by other Japanese generals.
This is inevitable.
"In your opinion, General, what should our army do now?" someone asked.
Huo Qubing said slowly: "Now Jingdong Prefecture is only a thousand miles away from us. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If our army can rush a thousand miles in the shortest possible time and launch a surprise attack on Tokyo, the Japanese pirates will surely suffer heavy losses."
This moment.
Everyone was silent.
Tokyo Prefecture was the Xianyang of the Japanese pirates.
It was also the seat of the Edo Shogunate.
The Emperor and Tokugawa Ieyasu, known as the best general in Japan, were both there.
Moreover, it is said that there are 300,000 troops stationed there.
How can we fight with only tens of thousands of cavalry?
...
A few days later.
Huo Guang finally received news about Huo Qubing.
They attacked Koshu Castle, massacred all the people in the city, burned the enemy's food supplies, and even killed Takeda Shingen, which seriously undermined the enemy's morale.
This is a great achievement!
Huo Guang said excitedly, "This is my brother, a general of the Great Qin. I am very proud of him!"
Huo Qubing is indeed worthy of pride.
After all, who could have imagined that tens of thousands of cavalrymen could destroy the lair of a Japanese pirate general.
This is something I dare not even think about!
But that's what happened.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "This time, Marshal, you don't need to worry about General Huo's safety, right?"
Huo Guang nodded immediately.
After a pause, he remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Where is General Huo Qubing now? Is he still in Jiazhou?
They are facing a situation of being leaderless, so this is a great opportunity for us to take it down in one fell swoop!"
He thought that his brother would definitely focus his strategic attention on the entire Koshu next.
However, who would have thought that the scout in the tent was hesitant and didn't know how to tell Huo Qubing's whereabouts.
Guo Jia suddenly felt something was wrong and asked quickly, "Just say what you want to say."
Hearing this, the scout was afraid of missing out on important matters, so he bowed deeply and said:
"Marshal, Military Advisor, according to reliable information, General Huo Qubing is now...
He is...leading his troops and advancing towards Tokyo Prefecture."
