That night, in an inn in Torimoto County, Yan Ruoyu spread the big map of Hokkaido on the bed and asked, "Where to start, what are the requirements?" ”

Ye Teng said: "We can only choose the border county town of Hokkaido, otherwise we can't explain how a million troops can go deep into the enemy's territory without being discovered by the Japanese invaders."

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty! Once someone deduces the function of the Divine Stone Space to the point where it is not far from ten, I will be in big trouble!

"The border system cities are only at the county level, and the size and height of the city are the same. In order to delay the time of discovery, choose the city controlled by the NPC as much as possible.

"Finally, see if the terrain outside the city is conducive to defense!"

The two of them lay on the bed and studied for a long time, Yan Ruoyu pointed to the city and said, "How is Guangye County?" It is located in the middle of nowhere, with mountains and mountains in the north, east and south, and only in the west is near the national border, and there is a large open land. There is an official road to the south that leads to the interior of Hokkaido.

"If the Japanese invade, they will either take a detour outside the country or come from the official road to the south. The official road through the lofty mountains and mountains must have a lot of terrain conducive to defense and ambush, which is beneficial to us and not to the enemy. ”

Ye Teng also noticed Guangye County, this city is located at the northern end of the border, and the surrounding terrain is arranged in a "U" shape from east to west, which feels very special, if nothing else, it should be able to limit the attack.

"Hmm. Judging from the map, it should be the most suitable for Hirono Prefecture. I'm going to do a field trip tomorrow, and if nothing else, it's it! Ye Teng said.

…

Early the next morning, the two arrived in Guangye County in a teleportation array.

After leaving the teleportation array, he walked towards the south gate while observing the defense of the county and the living conditions of the residents.

Because it was still early, when the two of them arrived near the south gate, the city gate should have just been opened, and on the official road out of the south gate, they encountered many hunters, farmers, and small merchants hurrying away.

Ye Teng and Yan Ruoyu were dressed as hunters, but they also responded to the scene.

After leaving the city, the two first walked south along the official road for more than 20 miles, and then returned, went around the east gate outside the city, turned to the north gate, and entered the city from the west gate.

"Something seems to have happened up ahead!" When they approached the West Gate, Yan Ruoyu pulled Ye Teng, who was thinking about something a little distracted, and pointed to the West City Gate.

Sure enough, there was a crowd of people at the city gate, who seemed to be arguing loudly about something.

"The little Japanese slave is quite kind, dare to quarrel so loudly with the officers and soldiers guarding the city!" Ye Teng thought with a wicked taste in his heart.

When I got closer, I saw a middle-aged hunter with the strength of a yellow-level general, arguing loudly with the little boss guarding the city gate about something. The dozen or so hunters behind the big man were all indignant, but the ruffian guarding the door looked like what kind of beating you can do with me.

Through Yan Ruoyu's whispered translation, Ye Teng knew the general reason for the incident.

It turned out that the middle-aged hunter was named Hatoyama Xiong, and today he took a dozen companions out of the city to hunt, and he was extremely lucky and harvested a lot.

Unexpectedly, when the officers and soldiers guarding the gate saw so much prey, they immediately became greedy, and raised the usual 20% hunting tax to 50% out of thin air!

Hatoyama and others were indignant and had a dispute with the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate.

At this time, the small leader of the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, seeing that Hatoyama Xiong and others were numerous and unrelenting, took a soldier to ask for help in the city.

Hatoyama also saw the situation clearly, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate refused to give in, and if they continued to make trouble, they would definitely suffer a loss, and in the end they had to hand over half of their prey and enter the city in a huff.

"Keep up!" Ye Teng ordered Yan Ruoyu softly.

After entering the city, Ye Teng and the others stayed with Hatoyama Xiong and his party from afar, until they saw them enter a private house, and then turned to leave.

"What do you think?" On the way back to the inn, Yan Ruoyu asked meaningfully.

"I was wondering how I could make the people of the city work for me. If you can co-opt some local aborigines and let the Japanese people take care of the Japanese people, I am afraid it will save a lot of trouble! Xueba just happens to know the Japanese language, is it okay to find you more Japanese traitors as subordinates to manage the more than 2 million Japanese people in the city? Ye Teng replied.

Yan Ruoyu nodded, I'm afraid that these would-be robbers really have to be taken care of by her.

…

After two consecutive days of inspections inside and outside the city, as well as hearsay and side inquiries, Ye Teng had a general understanding of Guangye County.

Outside the county.

On the east, south and north sides, between the city wall and the slope of the mountain range, the terrain is narrow and undulating, the narrowest part is about three or five miles, and the widest part is only about ten miles.

Between the west gate and the national border, the distance is more than 100 miles, and there are towering mountains on both sides, and it reaches the border line from more than 20 miles outside the city. The castle is located at the bottom of the U-shaped upper valley. Once the teleportation array is closed, if the Wako want to attack Hirono County, they will probably have to take a detour not a short distance outside the border.

Of course, there are two sides to everything.

With such a terrain, if Ye Teng succeeds in occupying it and can hold on for more than a month, it will naturally be difficult for the Chinese army to use this place as a springboard to conquer the Wa Kingdom in the future. I am afraid that for a long time, we will have to fight a tug-of-war with the Japanese on the long official road to the south.

However, this is no longer what Ye Teng needs to consider. Nowadays, the first thing to consider is how to keep it.

within the county.

With a population of nearly 2 million, the inhabitants mainly hunt, mainly export game, furs, timber, etc., and rely on trade imports for grain and cloth.

The residents lived in relative poverty, and were generally dissatisfied with the greedy county magistrates, county lieutenants, and county magistrates.

It is rumored that the controlling power of this prefecture is the second-level NPC prince Masanori Nishiura. The younger sister of the governor of Hirono Prefecture is the concubine of Masanori Nishiura, and the position of the county magistrate is obtained through nepotism, and the positions of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant are all held by the county magistrate's relatives.

It seems that the county magistrate's sister is more favored, so this small county with a barren border has become a reward, which shows that it is not valued by Xipu Masanori.

Because of this, although Guangye County is located on the border, its garrison is lax, people's livelihood is difficult, and people's grievances are boiling.

…

Ye Teng released Guo Jia and described the general situation of Guangye County, and both of them felt that Guangye County roughly met the requirements, so they no longer hesitated and decided to capture Guangye County.

However, Guo Jia's reminder made Ye Teng feel quite reasonable:

"My lord, if you capture a foreign city, there should be a systematic announcement, Jia speculates, it is very likely to be marked by the capture of the county government and the breaking of the control stele. At that time, why don't we control the city, but not break the control stone monument for the time being, leaving more time for the Shenshi space to release the army? ”

Ye Teng listened, passed it in his mind for a while, nodded and said, "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable." Although the city is under attack, the teleportation array cannot be used, which will alert the pirates. But the situation is much better than foreign occupation, world announcement, and the start of a national war! ”

Just do it.

That night, Ye Teng easily led a group of heaven-level and earth-level generals to capture several mansions, and began to release Iron Eagle Ruishi and other soldiers outside, and then occupied more mansions, and included thousands of aborigines in the mansions into the space.

Due to caution and camouflage, the whole day of the next day, it was not discovered, until the early morning of the third day, the generals with a large number of high-level and middle-level special troops who came out of the mobile teleportation array, easily controlled the entire city, leaving only the control stone tablet of the county government unbroken.
