When the scout told Huo Qubing's whereabouts.
More than ten people in the main camp fell into silence one after another.
The main thing is that Huo Qubing dared to go to Tokyo Prefecture with his tens of thousands of troops. This was something no one expected!
"Are you serious?"
Huo Guang was so surprised that he even spoke in surprise.
How dare Huo Qubing?!
Who does he think he is?
Can you act so recklessly just because he is your brother?
This is in the inland of Japan!
The scout knew the seriousness of the matter, so he nodded solemnly and responded with a fist clasped:
"Marshal, this is absolutely true. If there is even a hint of falsehood, I will bring my head before you!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
There were more than ten people in the tent, all whispering and discussing.
What he said was nothing but to belittle Huo Qubing, thinking that he was a little arrogant because he won a battle.
That is Tokyo Prefecture.
It is the most heavily guarded place in the entire Japanese country.
How far can we go with just a few tens of thousands of people?
What’s the difference between this and seeking death?
At this moment, Guo Jia slowly said: "Marshal, generals, do you think that General Huo Qubing is a person who does not know the immensity of heaven and earth?
If that's not the case, why did General Huo choose to go to Tokyo Prefecture? I guess there must be another reason behind this.
No matter what General Huo decides to do, this battle is crucial to the overall situation, and we must assist him."
Huo Guang was worried about his brother's safety and asked quickly, "How can I help?"
Guo Jia said bluntly: "General Huo is good at surprise attacks, and the enemy must be unaware of General Huo's current route.
What we need to do now is to launch several major battles to attract the enemy's attention. Only in this way can General Huo show his strengths."
At this point, Huo Guang hesitated.
After all, he was in the central army camp, and if he moved, the whole body would be affected.
We must be extremely cautious.
Seeing that he was silent, Guo Jia continued, "Marshal, I believe in General Huo. He will definitely give us a surprise."
With the military advisor's affirmation, Huo Guang finally hardened his resolve and made the final decision: "Order the entire army to move towards Dongjing Prefecture and draw the enemy's main force into battle!"
...
Shikoku.
Inside Kochi Castle.
Bai Qi was discussing the next strategic deployment with Zheng Chenggong.
Suddenly, a report was received from a scout, saying that the central army was approaching Tokyo Prefecture.
So, without hesitation, he asked his subordinates to bring the geomancy map of Tokyo Prefecture.
The generals under his command also came here one after another.
The atmosphere became extremely serious.
Almost everyone felt that something big was about to happen.
Seeing everyone gathered, Zheng Chenggong slowly said, "The central army is moving towards Tokyo Prefecture. Are they planning to attack Tokyo?"
Hearing this, Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Judging from the direction and speed of the Central Army's advance, it seems their target isn't Tokyo Prefecture."
"What do you mean?" Zheng Chenggong frowned.
Bai Qi responded in a deep voice: "You see, the central army is marching from Jiazhou, but passing through the city of Xiang in Wa.
The Miura clan, who was guarding Xiangcheng, would never allow the central army to go to Tokyo Prefecture.
If we were to attack Tokyo, the best route would be to cross Koshu.
This general speculates that the central army is marching in this way, probably intending to launch a larger battle in Xiangcheng.
Xiangcheng is a major transportation hub connecting the four states. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If our army takes this place, it will be equivalent to curbing the lifeline of Japan.
Do you think the Japanese daimyo will allow our army to capture Xiangcheng?"
Zheng Chenggong's pupils shrank, and he quickly said, "Of course not. Once Xiangcheng is attacked, all the nearby daimyo armies, including those in Tokyo Prefecture, will rush to Xiangzhou to support it.
This would mean our army would be forced into a decisive battle with the enemy, which would be completely detrimental to our strategic objectives."
"You're right."
Bai Qi suddenly realized something and asked hurriedly, "Which army was responsible for attacking Jiazhou?"
After these words were spoken, all the generals fell silent.
Because the news from Huo Qubing has not yet reached here.
After a pause, Bai Qi said seriously, "No matter who originally attacked Koshu, who now wants to truly attack Tokyo Prefecture?
I, Bai Qi, must help the situation! All generals, listen to my orders! "
As soon as the words fell, all the soldiers bowed in unison and said, "I am here!"
Bai Qi looked around at the generals and said in an unquestionable tone: "Order the entire army to abandon all supplies in Gaozhi City, travel light, and rush to Xiangcheng!"
It was obvious that he had figured out the intentions of the central army.
The result was as he expected.
The reason why Huo Guang did not give him any orders was because their real strategic intention was to kill more Japanese pirates.
Once Bai Qi is mobilized, this strategic intention will be affected.
If anything goes wrong, it is not something that one person can bear alone.
...
Xu Chu's camp.
Xun Yu had just received the news from the scouts.
It talked about the route of Huo Guang's troops' movement.
At the same time, they also learned that the Japanese pirate troops around them had begun to move towards Xiangcheng.
Xun Yu told Xu Chu his thoughts.
He believed that a battle that would play a key role in the war against the Japanese pirates was about to begin.
Xu Chu looked at the direction of Xiangcheng on the feng shui map and shouted, "Damn it! This is the only way to have fun!
I just don't know whose troops caused such a big commotion that even Marshal Huo was mobilized.
No matter who it is, we can't miss this good show. Order the entire army to march towards Xiangcheng as soon as possible!
