On this side, Ito Hirobumi and Meiji were still discussing the important matter of defense, and on the other side, the Taiping army led by Huang Xu had also arrived in Nagoya.

And when he entered Nagoya, Huang Xu knew that the sky had changed here.

At this time, Nagoya was an empty city, and all the Japanese soldiers and civilians had evacuated to Tokyo with Meiji.

Japan's withdrawal so simply was indeed unexpected by Huang Xu.

In the face of the empty city, Huang Xu was both happy and disappointed.

Happy because, in any case, the army was one step closer to the final victory, and disappointed because the Japanese slipped away so fast that it was difficult for them to kill a few of them.

However, Huang Xu does not need to be disappointed.

Since Nagoya can't be killed, let's go to Tokyo and kill more.

Talking about Tokyo, Huang Xu condensed in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh, he was finally going to Tokyo, if it was during the Republic of China, how could he have such an opportunity, and since God gave him such an opportunity, then he must not miss it again.

Tokyo, I'm coming! Huang Xu let out an angry roar in his heart.

It was as if he wanted to pour out the breath that had accumulated in his heart.

Then, his gaze seemed to travel through space, through many barriers, and cast on Japan's Kyoshi, Tokyo.

However, in the face of Tokyo, which is not far away, Huang Xu is not without scruples in his heart.

Huang Xu knew that since the Taiping Army entered the Japanese mainland, although it was like a bamboo, it was like a bamboo, and it was connected to many cities all the way, but with the elongation of the battle line, Huang Xu and others had clearly felt the lack of troops, because. Every time they occupy, they had to divide their troops to defend them, and in addition, there were attritions in the process of besieging the city. And all of these will increase the pressure on the follow-up attacking troops, and it is impossible for Huang Xu not to consider these.

And calculating the total strength of the Taiping Army at this time, it is indeed not so reassuring.

When the Taiping army had just landed in Nagasaki, there were still more than 200,000 men, but when they arrived at this ancient house. The total strength of the Taiping Army is only about 140,000 people, and if you want to use these 140,000 people to attack Tokyo, which is the key fortification of the Japanese army, no matter how arrogant Huang Xu is. No matter how strong the Taiping Army's combat effectiveness is, I am afraid it will not be an easy task.

They have to think about it in the long run.

Either fight quickly or ask for help, this seems to be the only choice in front of Huang Xu.

Huang Xu has to think about it.

But. Huang Xu thought about it. Still couldn't make up his mind, in the end, he could only invite Li Hongzhang, Li Xiucheng, and Dongfang Bufu and a few other cronies and brothers to discuss how to make trade-offs in order to prevent trouble before it happens, and completely solve the troubles that may be caused by the lack of troops in this future journey.

As a result, a pre-war meeting for the attack on Tokyo was held in Nagoya.

Li Hongzhang and others all attended.

"It's been for some time. You've all worked hard. After everyone sat down, Huang Xu looked around for a week. He smiled.

Huang Xu's words are true, for a period of time, the Taiping army has been marching and fighting continuously, which is indeed very hard.

"Not hard ......"

"Serving the kingdom of heaven and being loyal to the emperor is the duty of the ministers, how can we talk about hard work......"

…….

Everyone was humble for a while, in short, it was a meaning, and it should be.

Huang Xu was very satisfied with everyone's answers, he cleared his throat, and then said: "Everyone, I invite you here today, mainly for one thing, but also for one goal, Tokyo!" ”

When Huang Xu said the word Tokyo, he couldn't help but accentuate his tone.

Taking Tokyo was tantamount to dealing a heavy blow to the Japanese.

When everyone heard the word Tokyo, their eyes lit up, they had been yearning for this place for a long time, of course, they were not yearning for those stormy nights, but just wanted to conquer it and completely conquer this sacred place of Japanese dignity.

Perhaps, by that time, Japan will really be finished.

"Then let's give us some ideas and see how to capture Tokyo." Huang Xu smiled and said.

It's a hard bone, not so easy to gnaw.

Of course, Huang Xu did not say the current situation of the troops, which is a bit grim, he wants to see what everyone says before making a decision.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese are all frightened, they only know one word of outrage, according to the ministers, there is nothing to discuss, just kill the past, keep it and let these Japanese ghosts cry wolf." Dongfang is not confused, and he is very arrogant.

This guy is starting to fire with impunity again.

However, the East also has its own reasons for not confusing the artillery, since the war with the Japanese army in Korea, the Japanese can barely be called brave in his impression, but since the Taiping army landed on the Japanese mainland, he has found that this is not the case.

These Japanese have been completely turned into rotten wood, and they are simply vulnerable.

Of course, this idea of Dongfang Bufu has its limitations and one-sidedness, and the combat power of the Japanese is not as unbearable as he thought, but the veterans they can fight have all died on the Korean battlefield, and now using these recruits to shake the powerful Tenth Army of the Taiping Army is not on the same level.

However, then again, the spiritual power of the Japanese is still there, the so-called bushido spirit, which is indeed not to be underestimated.

"You know how to kill, then do you know that this Tokyo is no better than other places, here is the Japanese Jingshi, the Japanese army has been operating here for many years, whether it is the fortification of the city, or the geographical location, or other combat readiness support, etc., it is by no means comparable to other places, if we despise Tokyo, it will definitely be a big problem." Huang Xu said a little annoyed.

He's a brother, it's good to be good, but sometimes he uses his brain less.

Dongfang Bufu saw that Huang Xu was very unhappy, and he didn't dare to answer, but he was not very convinced, he thought, isn't it just Tokyo, if he is allowed to attack, 10,000 people are enough.

If Huang Xu knew this idea in Dongfang Bufu's heart, he might have the heart of both feet.

"Your Majesty, although Dongfang's words are a little more direct, but it is also a way, in the current situation, if you want to capture Tokyo City, there seems to be no other way to use it except to storm it." Li Hongzhang saw that Huang Xu's face was not good-looking, so he was busy playing a round next to him.

What Li Hongzhang said is also the truth, if you want to attack Tokyo, under the current circumstances, you can only attack by force, because the Japanese have already learned well, and they will definitely not fight at will at will except to hold on.

If the Japanese army does not go to war, there will be no way to talk about a strategy.

"Listen to the meaning of the military advisor, but also agree with the assault?" Huang Xu asked.

Li Hongzhang's words are very reasonable, Huang Xu understands in his heart, his reaction is a conditioned reflex.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Hongzhang nodded and said.

Other than that, there seems to be no other way.

"However, has the military advisor ever thought about our troop strength?" Huang Xu said with a little headache.

He didn't want to attack, but he had to have the conditions to attack.

"Your Majesty, can the First Army Corps be transferred over, the First Army is now in the border area of the Northern Province, and Bingzhang can lead the naval fleet to transport the First Army to land in Tokyo Bay, so that in less than half a month, they will be able to rush to join us, and then, the two corps will join forces together, and then attack Tokyo, they will be able to break through with one drum." Li Hongzhang touched the Zhihu under his chin and said with a smile.

This qiē, he seems to have already calculated.

"Well, it seems that this is all there is to it." Huang Xu sighed and said.

The meat that came to his mouth couldn't be eaten, and he had to wait a little longer, Huang Xu could only sigh.

"Then ask the Empress to give an order." Li Hongzhang hugged his fist at Huang Xu and said.

Just do what you say, act vigorously and resolutely, and show your true character as a hero.

"Okay, military advisor, you will send a message to Bingzhang and order him to rush the navy to the border area of Chaobei Province to summon and transport the First Army to attack the city." Huang Xu ordered casually.

"Yes." Li Hongzhang promised.

"Hidesei led the army to rearm in Nagoya, and ordered the intelligence department to gather all the information about Tokyo." Huang Xu ordered again.

"Yes." Li Xiucheng also responded.

"Everyone else has their own part, each has his own responsibility, and no one is allowed to slack off." Huang Xu said again.

"Yes." The crowd responded in unison.

"Alright, let's disperse, go and prepare." Huang Xu waved his hand and said.

The crowd should say yes, then salute, then withdraw, and finally divide up to prepare. (To be continued......)
