Fang Zhiwen's winter hunting team arrived at Yongming Harbor along the coastline through Tumen City, if it is not counted in the territory of the other world, this is the easternmost territory of the Han Dynasty, at this time Yongming is already a world of ice and snow, a large number of players flock to Yongming for winter hunting activities, it is said that the snow fox skin here is the highest price, and there are a large number of precious medicinal materials or something.

Standing on the castle of the city lord's mansion where Fang Zhiwen chose the site at that time, you can take a look at the scenery in the Yongming Harbor, the first sunny day after the snow, the ten thousand oars in the harbor are fighting for the ferry, the sails are like a forest, and flocks of seagulls are flying between the masts of the forest, which makes people look refreshed and happy.

Jia Xu rubbed his cold cheeks with both hands, it seems to be colder here than in the winter of Xiliang, the winter of Xiliang is dry and cold, but here it is cold, perhaps because of the seawater, this coldness penetrates from the cracks in the fur, and drills hard into the marrow of the person, making people's cold bones hurt.

Fang Zhiwen turned his head and glanced at Jia Xu, and handed over a bottle: "Take two sips, ward off the cold 1."

Jia Xu took it and took two sips, the hot wine burned all the way into his stomach, and a warmth dispelled the bitter cold.

"Whew~ It's really cold 1

"Hehe, so the soldiers here are extremely hard, and the frequency of changing guards is higher."

"A soldier who can endure the bitter cold is a qualified soldier."

Fang Zhiwen nodded with a smile, and said to Tai Shi Ci on the side: "Although I said that, you still have to change your guard at the beginning of the year, Shi Lu will take over your class, and you will go back to Lelang." ”

Tai Shici nodded helplessly, originally thought that he would be able to go to war, but he was still a Taiping captain.

Seeing that Tai Shi Ci was not very satisfied, Tai Shi Zhaorong pursed his lips and smiled, and Jia Xu said loudly: "Ziyi." Even if you go to Yingzhou, there may not be too many wars next year. ”

"Huh?" Tai Shi Ci looked at Jia Xu with some disappointment.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "There is no big war in other places, and the only lively place may be the opposite 1."

Jia Xu pointed in the direction of the space-time road marker, and Tai Shici subconsciously looked at it, of course, except for the sea and the ships on the sea, he couldn't see anything.

Tai Shi Ci slipped his gaze over his cousin's face. Looking at Fang Zhiwen's face, Fang Zhiwen smiled and nodded: "That's right, next year's theme is recuperation." ”

"This lord. Not quite right? Even if we want to recuperate, our enemies may not agree1

"Hehe, if you don't agree, you will call them until they agree." Fang Zhiwen said with a smile.

Before the words fell, Huang Xu had already grabbed a sealed battle report and ran up.

"My lord. The latest battle report from Yingzhou Island. ”

Fang Zhiwen glanced at Tai Shi Ci and said, "That." Here comes the result. ”

In everyone's attention, Fang Zhiwen opened the letterbox in front of everyone, and Fang Zhiwen naturally knew the way to solve the puzzle in ciphertext.

"Yesterday night, the Third Fleet, the Fifth Fleet, and the Sixth Fleet of our Navy launched a surprise attack on Shimonoseki Castle and the port on Yingzhou Island, as well as the heavy artillery positions along the coast of Kitakyushu. A large number of heavy artillery positions along the coast of Shimonoseki and Kitakyushu were destroyed, and the Kyushu passage of the Japanese was temporarily cut off1

Fang Zhiwen read out the battle report. Tai Shici's eyes flashed, and then he understood the purpose of the navy's large-scale raid on Xiaguan, but did not occupy Xiaguan, this attack on Xiaguan was actually forcing the Japanese army to retreat, if the Japanese army really fully withdrew from Kyushu Island in accordance with Fang Zhiwen's intentions, then the battle of Yingzhou will temporarily complete an important stage, enter a stage of comprehensive consolidation of Kyushu Island, and the next stage will be a more difficult battle of the island.

However, before that, as Fang Zhiwen said just now, the intensity of the battle on Yingzhou Island will decrease, and the battle will not be fierce again until the battlefield on the island is reopened.

"My lord, what is the reaction of the Japanese people?"

"Hehe, Ziyi, you're too anxious, it takes time for the Japanese people to react, maybe at the beginning they are more willing to rely on the Fukuoka fortifications to fight to the death, but with the compression of their activity space and the consumption of war materials, they will definitely choose to retreat in the end."

Jia Xu's statement was affirmed by Fang Zhiwen, even if the Japanese people's temperament is stubborn, their stomachs can't be stubborn, and when the time comes, how can they fight?

Tai Shi Ci thought about it, and had to admit that this was indeed the best choice for the Japanese people, if they persisted, in the end the Han army would not even win without a fight, and what the Japanese people got was just an extra month of delay, to be honest, this month was dispensable for the Han army, at most it was a little delay in the time to renovate the water conservancy and build the city.

"Is next year's main focus on consolidating Kyushu Island?"

"Yes, if Kyushu Island can become the main support for attacking Yingzhou, it will definitely be more efficient than using Lelang as a support, and the battle on the island will definitely be fierce in the future, and it is necessary to reduce the cost of fighting as much as possible and reap the dividends of the war in time."

"War dividends?"

"Well, the land and cities on Kyushu Island, the resources of property, population, etc., the sooner these war dividends are used, our war costs can be reduced as soon as possible, and we can use the resources of a Youzhou to support two national wars at the same time! Although there is the strong support of the Tianxia Association, the situation must be improved as soon as possible, otherwise it will definitely drag down the development of Youzhou. ”

"But there are so many mountains in Kyushu Island."

"That's right, but the fields on Kyushu Island are all familiar land, so there is no need to develop them again, and secondly, the human resources on Kyushu Island are transported to Xuansu, Yanbei and other places, and these people will soon create huge benefits. In other words, it is necessary to let the Japanese people help us produce materials and food, and then we use these to defeat the Japanese people and obtain more population resources, which is a war that does not lose money. ”

Tai Shi Ci was stunned

The time entered November of the ninth year of Guangxi, and the invincible general Yamamoto, who had insisted for another month, was already haggard. The Han army was not in a hurry, on the one hand, the Han army continued to slowly and piecemeal eliminate the stronghold fortresses of the Japanese around Fukuoka, and on the other hand. Attacks in the direction of Beppu are also intensifying.

In addition, the Han navy's attack in the area around Shimonoseki basically cut off the connection between Kyushu Island and the main island, and the Japanese army in the direction of Hyuga on the eastern front of Kyushu had to shrink and slowly retreat in the direction of Beppu and Nakatsu.

It's just that as soon as they retreated, the Han army on the southern front suddenly swarmed in, and the pressure in the direction of Zhongjin increased, and the Japanese army in Beppu couldn't sit still. Once Nakatsu was captured, the Japanese army in Beppu would either starve to death or swim back to the island.

The entire war in Kyushu finally fell into the rhythm of Guo Jia and Li Ru. There is only one way to defeat the Japanese army, and the Japanese army has few remaining options, stubbornly fighting to the death, or taking advantage of the fact that there are still some supplies. Hurriedly retreat to Kitakyushu. Then at all costs, they rushed through the narrow strait and returned to the main island.

In the Japanese base camp, the debate about whether to hold on or retreat has been going on for a month, and at the beginning, the argument of holding on was undoubtedly overwhelming, which was also the basis for the base camp to repeatedly give orders to Yamamoto Invincible to defend the death, but as time passed, the strategic situation on Kyushu Island deteriorated rapidly, and even the people in the base camp gradually realized it. If there were no supplies, the unhurried Han army would most likely have won without a fight.

"Everyone. Everyone has seen the latest battle report, although General Yamamoto insists on fighting to the last man and is willing to break the jade for the emperor, but based on long-term considerations, should we withdraw these experienced elite troops, you must know that the war will not end soon, the future war will be very long and cruel, and we still need them to continue to fight for the Yamato nation1

"Couldn't they be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor if the jade in Kyushu was shattered? Don't forget, they are resurrectable1

"Stupid, not to mention the loss after resurrection and the cost of re-leveling, just redistributing equipment is a problem, and what about the natives? These aborigines are now demoralized, and there have been a mass surrender, if these surrenders become the help of the Han army, then"

"Yaga! Don't listen to these rumors, it's just the propaganda of the Han army, how could the elite of our Yamato nation surrender to the inferior Shina people1

"You're stupid, isn't it true that you can't open your eyes to see this kind of thing? If you don't admit it, it doesn't mean it's true, you guys always like to lie to yourself. ”

"Bastard, who are you talking about?"

"Enough, is it useful to be so noisy every time1

"Okay, be quiet, let me convey the above meaning, if possible, try to delay the pace of the war, don't make fearless sacrifices, our strategic goal is to increase the cost of the war of the Han army, prolong the time of the war, and exchange time for opportunities, above 1

The conference room was quiet, and these second and third generations still respected the above meaning, not to mention, it could be the meaning of the other side of the ocean, and they didn't dare to disobey it.

"Okay, let's vote, whether to continue to hold on to Fukuoka or retreat to Shimonoseki in an all-round way."

Yamamoto Invincible looked at the latest order, and felt a sense of relief, he really didn't want to bear the tragic consequences of millions of troops being wiped out, or all starved to death, if that really happened, it was estimated that in reality he would have to apologize.

Takeda Shingen is very calm, and he seems to have seen through his fate for a long time.

"Takeda-kun, guess what this order is?"

"The contents of the order have been written on the face of the general general, this is the order to retreat 1

Yamamoto touched his face and smiled bitterly, "Is it so obvious?" ”

"It's the general who is too worried these days, so it's more obvious."

"It's also hehe, the sorrow of the island nation without a navy1

"Admiral, we don't just lack the navy."

Yamamoto Invincible shook his hand: "Don't say this, bring disaster upon yourself, no matter what, this is already the case, and fighting has become the only choice, so don't think about it or say anything other than fighting." ”

"Obedience is 1 to be continued...
