Yizhou.
Light rain.
Governor's Mansion.
Zheng Chenggong stood outside the door, watching the drizzle in front of him, feeling an indescribable melancholy in his heart.
Gan Hui, who had followed him all the way here from Quanzhou, was standing behind him and whispered:
"My Lord, are you still worried about whether you can go north?"
Hearing this, Zheng Chenggong said helplessly, "In fact, I know in my heart that the court will definitely not let me lead the army away from here.
I just think it's a shame that I couldn't experience that battle myself."
After a pause, he turned around and continued, "But no matter what, this war cannot be done without our Yizhou.
Gan Hui, you will take my place and lead the 100,000-man army into the interior to fight the enemy. If the court blames us, I will bear the responsibility myself."
Gan Hui frowned and said, "But, if this happens, we will only have 100,000 soldiers in Yizhou. What if Japan takes this opportunity to rebel..."
Zheng Chenggong shook his head and said, "As long as I am here, they won't dare to attack."
This is confidence.
Although Japan is indeed proficient in naval warfare.
However, he still needs to be honed in front of Zheng Chenggong.
In fact, what he was familiar with was not naval warfare, but landing warfare.
...
Youzhou.
Prince Yan's Mansion.
Zhu Di said to Xu Miaoyun, "I have already submitted a petition to the court. In a few days, you will take the eldest and second sons with you to Xianyang."
As soon as he finished speaking, the latter stood up from the stool and said with an unhappy look: "In such a critical moment, you and I should be together as husband and wife. Why are you letting me go?"
Zhu Di said earnestly, "This time, almost all of Jin's military commanders and advisers have been dispatched, clearly intending to capture Youyun.
This king... I really don't know how to respond. Perhaps before long, Youyun will be in danger of falling. If you stay here, you will only distract this king."
Even he felt a little gloomy about the future.
It can be seen how difficult the crisis that Qin is facing this time is.
Xu Miaoyun said, "It is precisely because of this that I should stay here, to share life and death with you, and to advance and retreat together."
Zhu Di frowned and said, "This matter is settled. Miaoyun, I must do this in order to completely free my hands and feet and fight the enemy. I hope you can understand."
For him and all the soldiers in the army, there is no way to retreat. They must fight to the death in order to have a chance of survival.
Later, Zhu Di invited Bai Qi and others to discuss matters.
He looked at everyone and said slowly, "Li Mu and Lian Po have both withdrawn from Youyun. They are doing this simply to wait for the army to arrive.
Then, they will devour us all in one gulp. Right now, not counting the newly recruited soldiers, our army has 400,000 combat-ready soldiers.
Moreover, the King of Wei sent out another 20,000 imperial guards and three generals, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Xiahou Dun.
This king intends to start a fight after the three of them arrive, before the main force of the Jin army attacks Youyun!"
He wanted to win a battle and boost his own morale before a bigger battle came.
Yao Guangxiao asked, "I wonder if Your Highness the Prince of Yan knows who will be the commander-in-chief once the Jin army of 600,000 or 700,000 men arrives?"
The Jin State's increase in troops did not mean an increase of one million.
Instead, the number of troops will be increased by about 600,000 to 700,000.
Together with the remaining generals of Li Mu and Lian Po, they formed an army of over one million.
Zhu Di said, "It is said that Lian Po will be the commander-in-chief, but in my opinion, Li Mu is more capable of such an offensive."
"Since Lian Po is to be our commander-in-chief, our army should attack Lian Po first! If we can capture him alive or kill him on the battlefield, the enemy's morale will surely collapse.
At the very least, we must kill Li Cunxiao, the fierce general under his command. I've heard that this man is so brave that he almost blew open the gate of Yunzhou with just one arm.
If General Zhu Neng had not come to our aid in time, Yunzhou would have already changed hands."
He was worried that once the real war began, the enemy would be even more powerful with a powerful general like Li Cunxiao.
Zhu Di said with a smile: "I was just about to say this. Generals Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Xiahou Dun are all great generals of their time.
At that time, the three of them will fight against Li Cunxiao together and will definitely be able to defeat him.
If even the three of them combined can't do anything to this person, then this person is probably no longer human."
Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, if that's the case, I'm relieved."
...
Chu State.
Tai'an City.
The imperial palace.
Emperor Mi Xiong of Chu summoned all civil and military officials to discuss the war against Qin.
"My army of 800,000 is about to reach Hangu Pass. However, not long ago, I learned that the vanguard general Yang Youji, whom I personally appointed, was unfortunately killed by the Qin general Lu Bu.
I've heard that Lü Bu is quite brave. I wonder which general would be willing to take Yang Youji's place as the vanguard and help General Yang to avenge his father's death?
Mi Xiong had just finished speaking.
The civil and military officials of Chu State began to discuss the matter in a flurry.
To be honest, they all knew Yang Youji's abilities very well.
Even he was defeated by that Qin general.
It can be seen that the other party is really powerful.
When it comes to leading troops in battle, no one is afraid.
But this is the vanguard after all, and it is there to confront the enemy head-on.
Who would want to encounter this bad luck?
Seeing this, Mi Xiong frowned and asked, "Could it be that our Great Chu is so full of talented people, but we can't find someone who can kill Lü Bu?"
