Chapter 542: Attack the Ryukyus first

Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Imperial Garden.

The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and although the first emperor's physical condition has not improved, his spirit has improved a lot, and although he looks very old, he is no longer as languishing as he was when the weather was cold and freezing before.

Li Chen is about to go to Fusang, and at this time he naturally wants to say goodbye to the first emperor. No one knows how long the First Emperor will last, and perhaps this will be the last time Li Chen and the First Emperor will meet.

"Your Majesty, the Generalissimo has arrived." Xia Wuhe said beside the First Emperor.

"I'm in good health today, you guys help me up." The First Emperor commanded the little eunuch beside him.

After receiving the order of the First Emperor, these little eunuchs immediately began to dress the First Emperor and put shoes on the shoes. Here, the First Emperor had just been helped into a wheelchair, and Li Chen happened to walk into the First Emperor's bedroom.

"You're here." The First Emperor turned his head and just happened to see Li Chen coming in.

"Well, come and say goodbye to Your Majesty." Li Chen said softly.

"Ahem, ahem."

"Fight hard, don't lose the prestige of Daqin." The First Emperor coughed lightly and admonished.

"I know." Li Chen replied categorically.

"Push me to the Imperial Garden." The First Emperor said to Li Chen.

Li Chen pushed the wheelchair and walked in the direction of the Imperial Garden with the First Emperor. The First Emperor seemed to have not been out of the dormitory for a long time, and the strong sunlight shining directly into his eyes when he left the dormitory made the First Emperor feel a little stinging in his eyes.

"Is Your Majesty feeling better?" Li Chen asked as he pushed the First Emperor forward.

"Hey."

"It's been a little warmer lately, and my body is really much stronger than in winter. It's just my own injury, I know better than anyone else. The colder it gets, the worse it gets, and I don't know if I'll be able to survive until next winter. The First Emperor sighed and said with some decadence.

Today's First Emperor is really like a dying old man, he knows that his limit is approaching, but he has no way. He is not afraid of death, but he has too many worries in his heart, too many things to let go.

Seeing the appearance of this ancient king, the tip of Li Chen's nose couldn't help but feel a little sour. Sure enough, people will grow old and die, no matter how gorgeous you are, in the end it will just be a pile of loess.

"Your Majesty's injuries will get better." Li Chen didn't know what to say, so he could only stabilize the first emperor like this.

"I just hope to hold out a little longer, and to hear with my own ears the news of Fuso's return. As for the farther afield, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive until then. The First Emperor said with some regret.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do it as soon as possible." Li Chen said categorically.

Three days later, Li Chen quietly left Xianyang, without any fanfare, just leaving Xianyang with Wang Li, Li You and some personal soldiers.

Wang Li, who was supposed to be filial piety to his grandfather Wang Qian, also left with Li Chen, not because he was unfilial, but because he couldn't lose the glory of the old Wang family. I believe that even if General Wang has a spirit in the sky, he still hopes to see his grandson galloping in this national war, instead of kneeling in front of his own grave.

Ying Yue stood quietly at the head of Lijiazhuang's village, just watching the direction of Li Chen's exit from the city. She didn't want to send it, because the more she sent it at this time, the more reluctant he would become.

Half a month later, Li Chen had already rushed to the military camp in Qu County.

In the council hall, Li Chen sat on the main seat wearing armor, and these generals under his command sat in turn. This was the first time Li Chen came to Qu County to hold a military meeting, and everyone looked solemn.

"Han Xin, how is the soldier's training?" Li Chen looked at Han Xin, who was the first on the right, and asked.

"Back to the generalissimo, the training has been basically completed, and it seems that they have mastered the military skills well, but the logarithms of this batch of soldiers are all new recruits. A soldier who has never seen blood can not be called an elite soldier. Han Xin sighed and said.

As the old saying goes, it's the mule that comes out and the horse has to pull it out. Now this is the case with this batch of recruits in the Shenwu Army, it looks like this, but whether they can fight a tough battle or not, they still need a tough battle to speak.

"A tough battle, it's coming soon." Li Chen stood up and walked to the side of the military sand table.

"Generalissimo, shall we fight Fusang now?" Yingbu asked excitedly.

Li Chen glanced at Yingbu, and then said calmly: "Fusang, let's not fight Fusang now." ”

"If you don't fight Fusang, then we have a tough battle from there?" Yingbu asked curiously.

"If we want to play Fuso, we have to play Ryukyu first, and I intend to clear Ryukyu within three months." Li Chen pointed to the military sand table and planted the black dragon flag symbolizing Great Qin on the islands belonging to the Ryukyus.

"Playing the Ryukyus? This part of Ryukyu is full of useless natives, and the islands are scattered, easy to attack and difficult to defend, Generalissimo, let me go, I will definitely take Ryukyu within a month. Li You just joined, and Mao recommended himself.

Li Chen looked at Li You and said slowly: "Don't underestimate this place in Ryukyu, once this place is captured, our supply line will be shortened by half, and the significance of this is indescribable." ”

"Besides, this Ryukyu is not as easy to play as you think. There are more than 40 islands in the Ryukyus, although these islands are all natives. Their weapons are rudimentary, and they are no match for us. But it is precisely because they are beast-like natives that this is more and more difficult for us to fight. ”

"You may not know about the situation in the Ryukyus, but there are deep and dense mountains and forests everywhere. Once these natives drill into the mountains and forests, we want to catch them, it's not so simple. ”

As the old saying goes, it's the mule that comes out and the horse has to pull it out. Now this is the case with this batch of recruits in the Shenwu Army, it looks like this, but whether they can fight a tough battle or not, they still need a tough battle to speak.
