Niu Jinda said: "In case the troops of Su I into the deer do not choose to cross the sea to attack my Usa naval base, they will have two choices: one is to rush west to the west to aid the Japanese army in Kitakyushu, but to stay in place and wait for the opportunity.

Therefore, I would like to suggest that the location of this naval ambush be between Kitakyushu and Shimomatsu, rather than the open sea east of Shimomatsu, because the terrain between Kitakyushu and Shimomatsu is complicated, which is not conducive to the movement of large ships, and our navy has never operated in this area.

The Japanese will think that our navy will not operate in this area, and they will choose the route of smuggling, and they should also choose this generation, which will not only help to conceal the intentions of our army, but also help to quickly approach the enemy at sea.

I have studied with Lord Wang of the Navy the possibility of landing on the opposite side from the sea area of this generation, and I think there is a certain certainty.

My opinion is that this time it is necessary not only to deploy an ambush at sea, but also to carry a large number of land forces on the ships, and in case the Soga Irika's troops do not choose to cross the sea to attack our Usa naval base, if they go west to Kitakyushu, our army will land in Toda between Shimomatsu and Kitakyushu and intercept them.

If the troops of Su Irilu were stationed in Xiasong, our landing force would forcibly attack Xiasong to the east. By this time, most of the other units of the Uno Kingdom stationed in Shimomatsu had been drawn to Kitakyushu, and our army was fully confident of destroying this enemy force.

If this enemy retreats from the sea with the help of their navy, it can only take the open sea to the east, which is conducive to annihilating them at sea. ”

Admiral Wang Jue said: "General Niu's opinion is feasible, our navy can send the shallower draft of the fourth and fifth class sail battleships as the main warships to cover the navy of Kyushu to carry the army, and at the same time deploy a fleet in the open sea east of Xiamatsu to cut off the enemy's retreat from the sea." ”

"Okay, that's a lot more certain." Kazuki Takahashi said excitedly.

Takahashi Taro was still a little worried, and he said, "I hope everything goes well, and it's better not to fight them on land." ”

Niu Jinda asked: "His Royal Highness the Prince, do you think our Flying Tiger Army is powerful, or is it the force of Su I into the deer?" ”

Takahashi's eyes lit up, and he said: "If you talk about personal combat strength, the troops of Su I into the deer should be similar to the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, but they lack the training of battle formations, and the overall combat is definitely not as good as the Flying Tiger Army."

But isn't there only 300 Flying Tigers on Kyushu Island now, and the number is too small. ”

Wang Xuance said with a smile: "The prince has ordered the 1,000 Flying Tiger troops stationed in Baekje to set off, and they will be able to reach Kyushu Island at noon tomorrow." ”

"Great."

"yes, that's enough."

Kazuki Takahashi, Taro Takahashi, and Ayumi Hamasaki were all delighted.

Everyone discussed that this mission was completed by 3,000 Janissaries, 1,300 Flying Tigers, and 5,000 Marines from Kyushu. Niu Jinda personally led the team, and Hamasaki was responsible for commanding the army of Kyushu and accepted Niu Jinda's command.

Takahashi Taro was responsible for commanding the Kyushu army to feint from Kitakyushu to capture the pass and cooperate with Niu Jinda's actions.

Everything is arranged here, just waiting for the news of the eldest brother and the prince.

Wang Xuance has been in charge of border affairs since he followed the prince, and he is very clear about the principles of the prince in handling the affairs of neighboring countries.

Wang Xuance received an order from Li You to fully cooperate with Takahashi Kazuki's actions and at the same time collect as much information as possible about the Kyushu Kingdom and the Japanese Slave Kingdom. Regarding the plan formulated by Takahashi Kazuki and the Empress of the Japanese Slave Kingdom, although Wang Xuance fully cooperated, he had many questions in his heart.

The first question is that for this crusade, the prince persuaded the entire court, mobilized nearly 200,000 troops, hundreds of ships, and 12 million from the household department.

The prince spent so much effort, just in exchange for a superficial submission to the Japanese slave country, and 5,000 taels of silver per year? This is not the style of the prince who has always only taken advantage and not suffered losses.

In terms of the intimacy of the relationship, Li You and Hamid can be regarded as brothers in life and death, but while helping Persia, he also first considered the national interests, and also got benefits from Persia, and the main area of the Northwest Province was the original Persian territory.

In addition, how to solve the problem of using the war against the Japanese slave state to consume the strength of the old armies of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, which is the established national policy of large-scale immigration, and not to fight the Japanese slave state?

Wang Xuance had heard the prince mention the Japanese slave country before, and he seemed to have some special dissatisfaction with the Japanese slave country, why did he suddenly change his attitude this time, is it really because he has a Japanese slave princess?

The second question is that the condition that the empress of the Japanese slave country negotiated with Takahashi Kazuki was to get rid of Soga and Irishika, and let Takahashi Kazuki become the minister who replaced Soga Irishi, thus becoming the first family of the Japanese slave country. However, Takahashi Kazuki has a strong Tang Dynasty background behind him, so the empress is not worried about taking a Su I into the deer, and there is another Takahashi Kazuki who will also control the government?

Also, Takahashi Kazuki is now the king, let him submit to the empress and be a courtier, what is he trying to do?

The third question is that, according to the information provided by Takahashi Yujing, Su I entered the deer power and leaned towards the opposition, in addition to these tribes, there were also a large number of forces that supported him, and there were 500 of the most elite tribes left in the family.

Even if he loses these 2,500 subordinates, will the Empress of the Japanese Slave Kingdom be sure to get rid of Su I? You know, Soga Irilu is not a fool, his subordinates have been transferred to the border, and those ministries owned by the royal family will also be transferred away from Fujiwara Kyo, does the empress have enough power in her hands to get rid of Soga Irilu and control Fujiwara Kyo?

Niu Jinda, Wang Jue and others don't have these questions, not because they are not smart, but because they are military generals, and they are thinking about how to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors.

With these questions in mind, Wang Xuance first sent a telegram to Li You.

Soon, Li You called him back, and there were only four words on it: "Talk less and watch more." ”

Wang Xuance was confused, but he believed Li You, so he decided to continue to observe.

When she came to Kyushu, Tuoba Zilan's identity was clear, her name was Qianyu, she was called Qianyu, and she had no surname but only a first name.

The Japanese imperial family adopts the method of palace number (honorific title) + name. For example, the name of the emperor is "Jinomiya Akihito", Jigu is the palace number, and Akihito is the name. The crown prince's name is "Konomiya Naruhito", Konomiya is the palace name, and Naruhito is the name. His daughter "Prince Aiko of Jinggong", Jinggong is the palace number, Aiko is the name, and Prince Nei is the title.

Tuoba Zilan's full name is "Prince Senhanai of Toshinomiya", and she is the niece of the Empress Emperor Gokuten, and the niece of Soga Irishi.

Two years ago, when Takahashi Kazuki established the Kyushu Kingdom on the island of Kyushu with the support of the Tang Dynasty, Soga Irilu met that the Tang Dynasty would pose a huge threat to the Japanese slave country in the future, and since then, he has begun to send spies to the Tang Dynasty and has a certain understanding of the political situation of the Tang Dynasty.

Qianyu is a smart and adventurous girl, she yearns for the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and Su I sent her to study in the Tang Dynasty, she first went to Youzhou. Later, when the Tang Dynasty began to attack Goguryeo, Su I realized that after the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, the next target was the Japanese slave state.

When Chiwa went home to visit her family, Soga Irishi consciously trained her to become a spy. Qianyu is enthusiastic and adventurous, and gladly accepts this task.

When the Tang Dynasty began to decide to send troops to the Japanese slave country, Su I sent a message to Qianyu in Youzhou, hoping that she would go to Chang'an to carry out the task of assassinating Li You, the commander of the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expeditionary Army, and Qianyu resolutely came to Chang'an.

Just as Wang Xuance was about to learn more about Qian Yu, he received a telegram from Li You, asking him to hand over Qian Yu to Takahashi Kazuki.
