Huang Xu, who was in Nagoya, did not know about these twists and turns encountered by the Armada, and he was looking forward to the arrival of the army.

At the pre-agreed landing port, Huang Xu also sent a special operations detachment headed by Dongfang Bufu and Li Shixian to be responsible for the response of the army.

At the same time, the Armada had crossed the danger zone and made its way unhindered to the intended port.

At the port, Cui Min and the others also quickly connected with the special combat team waiting here.

After some preparations, the army began to land in an orderly manner under the cover of the special operations detachment.

However, due to the small capacity of the port, it took almost three hours for the 200,000-strong troops of the First Army to land in full.

As soon as he landed on the shore, Cui Min hurriedly urged the army to hurry, intending to go to Nagoya to join Huang Xu, while Luo Bingzhang stood by according to Huang Xu's will, preparing to attack the city of Tokyo from the sea at the right time.

And along with Cui Min and others, there is also a special combat team led by Dongfang Bufu and Li Shixian.

Of course, Huang Xu, who was in Nagoya, had also received the news of the landing of the army, and he was preparing to personally lead Li Hongzhang and other high-ranking members of the Taiping Army out of Guo to greet the soldiers of the First Army.

Ten miles away from Nagoya, Huang Xu waited for the army led by Cui Min.

Everyone is reunited after a long absence, and they are all overjoyed.

Cui Min first saluted Huang Xu as a monarch.

Huang Xu shouted for exemption, and then happily asked Cui Min if his trip was smooth, and the care expressed between his words made Cui Min very moved.

And Cui Min didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly and respectfully told the story of the distress at sea, but he tried to downplay it as much as possible, so as not to disturb the Sacred Heart.

He was well-intentioned. But how could Huang Xu not be able to hear the deep meaning, he could imagine the thrilling process, Huang Xu really understood that it was not easy.

Moreover, Huang Xu not only understood, but also rejoiced, he felt that this was God's blessing to China. Otherwise, the more than 200,000 soldiers of the Invincible Armada and the First Army would probably have been buried at the bottom of the sea at this time, and if such a situation really occurred, it would definitely be a heavy blow to the Empire.

Fortunately, the army is in danger, and Huang Xu is not only happy, but also embarrassed.

And after that, Huang Xu comforted Cui Min a lot to comfort him.

And Cui Min saw that the emperor treated himself so sincerely. He was even more moved in his heart, he felt that it was really worthwhile to be able to follow such an emperor.

And taking advantage of this enthusiasm, the two talked for a while.

After that, Cui Min held hands with Li Hongzhang and others one by one, and everyone laughed happily, but also made some innocuous jokes from time to time.

The affection is very harmonious, and the joy is harmonious. There are such kings, and there are such ministers. There are both such generals and such soldiers, so why worry about the empire not prospering.

After the ceremony, the 200,000 troops of the First Army were led into the army garrison by the flag officer, and Huang Xu, together with the newly arrived Cui Min and other generals, went to the Shuaifu to discuss matters.

Entering the Shuaifu, everyone sat down one by one. Then Li Hongzhang introduced the latest situation to everyone.

According to intelligence, the Japanese took advantage of this ceasefire to intensify their efforts to rectify Tokyo's defense, and so far, they have basically completed the deployment of Tokyo's city defense.

So. The shape faced by the Taiping army was really not so optimistic, and the Taiping army would face great challenges if they wanted to capture Tokyo.

Li Hongzhang finished talking about the situation, bowed to Huang Xu slightly, and sat down.

And Huang Xu looked around, and then said calmly: "Everyone, how should this battle be fought next, I hope you don't keep it, it's better to express your opinions." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is better to attack Tokyo according to the original plan." As soon as Huang Xu's voice fell, Li Xiucheng said excitedly.

After Li Xiucheng folded in the hands of Princess Sakurako for a while, he was always very unconvinced in his heart, he always wanted to find an opportunity to win back the city, although Princess Sakurako has now followed her master Huang Xu, but, you can't find Sakura, it's okay to fight the Japanese, anyway, it's all the fault of the Japanese, so as soon as he heard that he was going to capture Tokyo, he was full of energy.

"Storming? Well, Strategist, what do you think? Huang Xu nodded, as if he was a little undecided, he couldn't help but turn his head and asked Li Hongzhang.

If you have any questions about important military matters, who can you ask? In Huang Xu's mind, this is a simple question, you can ask Li Hongzhang, and Li Hongzhang, he is not a military advisor, he has a lot of ideas in his stomach.

"Your Majesty, according to the current situation, our army has no other way but to storm it." Li Hongzhang did not avoid Huang Xu's gaze, and directly greeted Yan Sù authentic.

He was serious.

This may be the only offensive method that can be implemented at the moment.

"Assault, isn't that a lot of casualties, Tokyo is a fortified city." Huang Xu said hesitantly.

Some time ago, when they occupied Nagoya, the defense line built by the Japanese army in Tokyo was not completed, and if it was attacked at that time, of course, it would be no problem, but now, the Japanese defense line has been built, and if it is attacked at this time, the Taiping army will have to pay a great price.

Therefore, Huang Xu is a little uncertain, to be honest, he is 10,000 unwilling to attack in his heart, he would rather wait than do this kind of thankless attack at this time, but can he wait, are the soldiers under his command willing to wait?

This is indeed a problem.

"Your Majesty, now, if you want to lure the enemy into battle, it is almost impossible, and although our army is a strong attack, but there are also skills that can be used, we can launch an attack in two stages, the first stage, we don't need to exert a lot of strength, just put on a strong offensive posture, in order to test the reality of the Japanese army, and then find out the weakness of the Japanese defense, and if the weakness of the Japanese army is clear, then we can enter the second stage, storm the weak link of the Japanese army, so that the Japanese defense line will be broken." Li Hongzhang further explained.

First of all, the purpose of attacking is to find out the weaknesses of the Japanese army, so this attack is not a real attack, and it gives people the feeling of a false shot, so this attack is not just for attacking. Of course, on another level, the purpose of this virtual attack is to find out the weaknesses and pave the way for the subsequent all-out attack, so this attack is also for the attack.

In a word. Li Hongzhang's idea is also an idea, and it sounds like a good idea.

"Well, this is a good way for the military advisor." Huang Xu thought for a while and said.

In his opinion, this is a solution, and in the current situation, it is very realistic.

"Your Majesty. The last general requested to lead the 10th Army to fight the vanguard. Li Xiucheng listened to Huang Xu on the sidelines, and seemed to have agreed to attack, and hurriedly came out to ask for Zhandao.

Li Xiucheng can't let others snatch this pioneer seal.

Huang Xu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Xiucheng's impatient look.

After laughing, Huang Xu said: "Xiucheng, don't worry, you can fight this battle, and you are not in a hurry, my words have not been finished yet." Listen to me first. ”

He knew what Li Xiucheng was thinking, and he also understood Li Xiucheng's urgency to hate him. However, this will have to wait for him to finish his sentence first.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Xiucheng said busily.

Huang Xu's words are holy decrees, how dare Li Xiucheng disobey.

"Strategist, has the Ministry of Intelligence obtained a map of Tokyo's city defense?" Huang Xu comforted Li Xiucheng, and then asked Li Hongzhang.

The attack on Tokyo was a matter of great importance. It is necessary to be fully prepared in all aspects, and there must be no sloppiness at all, so Huang Xu and Li Hongzhang have already agreed before the attack starts. It was important to get a map of Japan's city defenses, and they entrusted this matter to the Taiping Army's intelligence department in Tokyo.

"Your Majesty, according to reliable information from Tokyo, the city defense map has fallen into the hands of the Ministry of Intelligence, and the minister has contacted the Ministry of Intelligence, and he will send someone to contact them tonight to retrieve the city defense map." Li Hongzhang is confident.

Yiqiē seems to be under control.

"Okay, once you have the city defense map, launch an attack immediately." Huang Xu said loudly.

When Huang Xu said this, he paused again, and then said, "Who does the military advisor plan to send to get the map?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has already planned, and the minister can go and get it himself." Li Hongzhang replied.

He wants to take it himself.

"No, how can the military advisor take such a risk, it's better to send someone else." Huang Xu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Li Hongzhang say that he wanted to go by himself.

In Huang Xu's mind, Li Hongzhang's safety is more important than anything else.

"Your Majesty, your mind, the minister understands, but only the minister is the most appropriate, first, the minister and the intelligence department are one-line contact, if other people go, the intelligence department will not hand over the map, and second, the minister can also identify the authenticity of the city defense map by the way." Li Hongzhang patiently explained.

He knew that Huang Xu would refuse, so his rhetoric had already been prepared, besides, he was not talking big, but stating the truth.

"But, if you go like this, I really don't feel at ease." Huang Xu was very embarrassed.

How can Huang Xu rest assured.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, the minister thinks that if one person goes with the minister, he will be safe." Li Hongzhang said again.

"Who?" Huang Xu's conditioned reflex seems to be authentic.

There is really such a person, what does it matter if he is sent to go with Li Hongzhang.

"General of the East!" Li Hongzhang glanced at Dongfang from the corner of his eye, and said to Huang Xu.

"Oriental? Well, that's doable. Huang Xu pondered slightly, and then said.

If Dongfang goes with him, Huang Xu can rest assured.

He knew in his heart that with the bravery of Dongfang Bufu, coupled with Li Hongzhang's wisdom, he must have a lot to go in this world, and nothing should be able to stop these two.

"I said military advisor, you want me to help, just say no, why bother the emperor to worry, I think you are just taking off your pants and farting, it's too much." Huang Xu's words had just finished speaking, but Dongfang was not confused, but he had already shouted.

Isn't it just a big fart, why ask the emperor, Dongfang is not confused and disagrees.

"Ha, ha... Strategist, Dongfang said it very reasonably, it seems that you didn't give him face. Huang Xu was in a good mood, laughed out loud, and then, he joked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, since General Dongfang is so bold, the minister is disrespectful, and I will thank General Dongfang here first." Li Hongzhang reacted sensitively, first replied to Huang Xu's words, and then happily thanked Dongfang without confusion.

Li Hongzhang is an old fox, and of course he is very tactful in this face-saving matter.

"Okay, okay, then this matter is settled, the east, the safety of the city defense map and the military division will be handed over to you, if there is a little difference, come and see you." Huang Xu shouted.

Brothers are brothers, the law is the law, and he must not let the East not be confused and take this matter as a child's play.

"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission." Dongfang patted his chest and said.

Isn't this a piece of cake and a trivial meaning for him to be confused!

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, as soon as the city defense map is in hand, we will immediately take action against Tokyo, and the other generals must also be ready and ready to be dispatched." Huang Xu admonished again.

"Yes." Everyone promised.

"If there's nothing else to do, then disperse." Huang Xu waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty..."Unexpectedly, someone spoke up, and it was really true.

The person who spoke out was Li Xiucheng, and Li Xiucheng still had something to say.

Seeing that Li Xiucheng still had something to say, everyone slowed down their pace of leaving, and they all turned around and stared at him, wanting to hear what he wanted to say. (To be continued......)
