Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2330 Wu Qi's plan, the naval battle of Kyushu

Chapter 2326: Wu Qi uses tactics, Kyushu naval battle

With Oda Nobunaga and Uesugi Kenshin as examples, the big names in Japan are naturally not able to work hard, so they all expressed their willingness to dispatch naval forces to help Kyushu Island.

Your family paid five thousand, my family paid four thousand, and the least one paid three thousand.

Under the integration of various forces, a total of [-] sailors were assembled.

Oda Nobunaga was also stunned when he saw this number. He never expected that these defeated generals would hide such a powerful force in their hands, and it would not even need the Japanese Empire's navy to unite.

If it hadn't been for the Qin army's sudden attack, there would be only one enemy of the naval forces of these forces, and that would be the Dongying Empire.

At this point, Oda Nobunaga kept his face calm, but he was already cursing in his heart: "These insidious bastards."

Takamoto Mori, Yoshihisa Shimadzu, Yoshihisa Imagawa, the local daimyos of Kyushu, seeing each daimyo donating generously and dispatching the navy to help Kyushu, felt excited and felt in their hearts, looked at each other and bowed together: "Thank you, gentlemen. "

It's just a bow, and there is no loss for them, but if they are asking them to pay other things, then they will definitely not agree.

After some more discussions, the daimyos of the ten countries who came to participate in the alliance reached an agreement, and they all agreed to form an alliance to resist the invasion of Great Qin, and the leader of the Anti-Qin Alliance would naturally be Oda Nobunaga, the overlord of Japan.

Since then, the Ten-Nation Alliance of Dongying was established, with Oda Nobunaga as its leader, and two deputy leaders under it, Uesugi Kenshin and Gotakeda Shingen.

"Everyone, although the Daqin navy has expanded, its numbers are definitely not as large as ours, but water battles are not won by numbers.

Daqin's warships are much more advanced than my Dongpu, so even if our navy has twice the number of Qin's army, we still have to prepare for the worst, so we have to prepare for land battles in advance. "

As he said that, Oda Nobunaga glanced at all the daimyos, and then, as the leader of the alliance, he ordered: "This order of the leader of the alliance, from now on, all the eleven countries in Dongying will enter a wartime state until the Great Qin is defeated. .”

"Follow the name of the lord."

Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen and other big names responded in unison.

Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga nodded in satisfaction, and then asked the big names, if the water battle is defeated, how should the land battle be fought?
The four islands of Dongying have a population of more than 500 million, no less than the total population of a single state in the Central Plains, and even larger than the population of remote states such as Youliangjiao.

Therefore, if Dongpu conducts extreme conscription, it can fully afford 50 troops to fight on the mainland.

However, although the 50 army seems large, it cannot defend the entire territory of Dongying.

After all, Dongying is an island country. Once the naval army is defeated, the Qin army can land in the whole territory of Dongying at will. With Dongying's long coastline, 50 troops are still not enough, and it is impossible to garrison everywhere.

Therefore, this also made Oda Nobunaga make up his mind, that is, the Kyushu naval battle must not be lost, otherwise it would be too passive for the Ten-Nation Alliance of Japan.

After the meeting, all the daimyos also returned to their own countries. Various major actions such as conscription, food collection, troop deployment, and ordnance building continued, and most of the navy in the entire East Ocean began to gather in all nine states.

As for the commander-in-chief of this huge naval force of [-], the leader of the alliance, Oda Nobunaga, is naturally in charge.

After seeing this scene, the common people in Dongpu were stunned. They didn't know what happened. You were the eleven kingdoms I lived in before. Why did you unite without the slightest sign?

What kind of enemy can make the eleven countries join forces to deal with it?
For a time, the whole country was panicked.

--------

In the second year of Shenwu, March [-]th, Qingzhou, Beihai County.

In the big tent of the Qin Army's Central Army, Zhou Yu, Xia Houyuan and other senior officials of the Qin and Wei armies were gathering at this time to discuss the matter of sending troops to recruit Japanese in three days' time.

"The governor has received a message from Song and Wu. At present, the waterway military equipment of the two countries is in place. Only four days later, when the agreed dispatch date is reached, the navy of the three countries will send troops to Japan together." Zhou Yu said with a light smile.

Why is it called the Navy of the Three Kingdoms?Naturally, it was because Wei State did not have a navy.

"Three days later, the naval forces of Qin, Song, Wu and the Three Kingdoms will jointly attack Kyushu Island. After occupying the port in question, let the army land on Wa Island..."

Zhou Yu stood above and talked eloquently, and his arrangement was almost perfect, which also left all the generals of Cao Wei speechless.

At this moment, Le Yi stood up and asked, "Commander Zhou, since the war is about to start, can you publish the topographic map of the Wa country in advance?"

When Zhou Yu heard this, surprise flashed in his eyes. The generals of Cao and Wei didn't think much of the Japanese army, and felt that the Japanese army was vulnerable. There were not many generals as cautious as Le Yi.

Elai walked over, wrapped his thick arms around Le Yi's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Brother Le, you should be cautious, it's just a small barbarian country, how do you need any topographic maps to deal with them? With my great Wei's combat power, just push it all the way across."

Le Yi said sternly: "There is nothing wrong with being cautious, as long as you can reduce casualties, even if it means one less death, it is worth it."

After saying that, Le Yi looked straight at Zhou Yu again, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, then beckoned to the guards, and brought in a huge topographic map of Japan.

Dongying divides regions into three levels: country, county, and city, and the mountains and rivers are basically represented in the map.

Seeing that there was only a map but no sand table, all the generals of the Qin army showed disgust.

After getting used to looking at the sand table, looking at this crude map, not to mention other generals, even Zhou Yu was not used to it.

The generals of the Wei army didn't mind, they all surrounded after seeing the map.

"Hyuga country? Owari country? Echizen country?"

Cao Hong laughed while muttering: "There are so many countries in a place as big as the Wa country? And this country is too small, right?"

"The size of a country in Dongying is not even as big as that of Wei, a county, but it is too self-indulgent to dare to call it a country." Xiahou Dun sneered.

"No wonder the emperor of the Wa Kingdom dared to call himself the Emperor." Yu Rongwang mocked.

Qi Jiguang stood up and explained: "Everyone, the Wa Kingdom is different from our Shenzhou. Their countries are equivalent to counties, counties are equivalent to counties, counties are equivalent to towns, and there are 54 countries in Wa Kingdom."

"So, Wa country is equivalent to having 54 counties?"

Le Jin showed surprise. After all, Wei State only has ten counties, and then he smiled and said: "But this county is too small, in my opinion, counties are about the same."

Qi Jiguang shook his head and said: "The counties of the Wa Kingdom are indeed much smaller than my counties in the Central Plains, but there are more than 500 million people in the entire Wa Kingdom, which is not less than the population of a state in the Central Plains."

"500?"

Xia Houyuan showed surprise. After all, the total population of Wei State is only 300 million. The population of Wa State is even more barbarian than that of Wei State?
After a short period of surprise, Xia Houyuan and Le Yi's eyes flashed brightly.

In addition to being short of money, Wei State is also short of people, so they all have the idea of ​​capturing Japanese slaves as slaves to alleviate the problem of Wei State's labor shortage, and using Japanese slaves as cannon fodder for the army.

Although Xia Houyuan and Le Yi both thought of this point, they didn't bring it up. Instead, they kept their faces and acted as if it had never happened, in order to prevent the Qin army from obstructing them.

At this moment, a secret agent suddenly came to report.

"Report... to the governor, and the spies lurking in Dongying sent back the news that the eleven countries of the Japanese kingdom have received the news that our army is about to conquer the Japanese, so they formed an alliance in Edo City. At present, the domestic troops are frequently mobilized."

"what?"

Xia Houyuan, Le Jin and other Wei generals all changed their faces. After all, the casualties paid by fighting an unprepared enemy are completely different from those that are prepared.

"Is it still found?"

Zhou Yu sighed softly, but there was no surprise on his face. After all, he guessed from the very beginning that the Japanese kingdom had spies in the Central Plains, and the movement of the army was so big that it was impossible to keep it hidden. Sooner or later.

"However, even if the news of the conquest of the Japanese is exposed, there is nothing that our coalition forces can't fight."

Hearing what Zhou Yu said, Huang Zhong asked in puzzlement, "What does the governor mean by that?"

"Our coalition forces are about to go on an expedition. It is already too late for the Wa Kingdom to mobilize troops at this time. When they are ready, we have already landed in the Wa Kingdom." Zhou Yu comforted with a smile.

The generals of Qin and Wei nodded their heads when they heard the words. After all, dispatching the army is not that simple, and it takes time to prepare, and this time is enough for the coalition forces to land.

At this moment, Wu Qi stood up and said, "Governor, although the news of the conquest of the Japanese has been exposed, the news of the joint conquest of the Japanese by the Qin, Wei, Song and Wu alliances should not be known to the Japanese side."

Zhou Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then nodded.

Wo country was worried about Da Qin's revenge, so it placed a large number of spies in Qin country, but it may not also place spies in Song Wu. The news that he will send troops with Daqin.

Wu Qi's eyes were full of wisdom, and he said firmly: "Since the Wa Kingdom doesn't know about this yet, and only thinks that our Great Qin sent troops, then our Great Qin can definitely dispatch troops in advance to attract the attention of the Japanese Navy's navy, and wait until the naval battle. At that time, let the Song and Wu navy come out from the rear and attack the Japanese navy back and forth, and they will definitely wipe out the Wowo navy in one fell swoop."

"hiss……"

Not only Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang and other Qin generals, but also Wei generals such as Xia Houyuan and Le Yi were surprised by Wu Qi's strategy.

To be honest, Wu Qi's strategy is not complicated, on the contrary, it is very simple, but it is very practical. If it goes well, it can completely destroy the Japanese navy in one battle.

Some Wei generals, including Xia Houyuan and Le Yi, looked at Wu Qi in an instant, full of fear.

They never expected that a general without the slightest reputation who randomly appeared in the Qin army would have such a superb strategy.

The Wu champion Chen Tang and the second place Chen Dao also looked at Wu Qi differently, but they still admired them more. Why didn't they think of such a simple and practical strategy?
Wang Jian stared at Wu Qi, feeling a little annoyed in his heart, and he was one step slower than Wu Qi. He actually thought of this plan, but before he could say it, Wu Qi forcibly took a step.

Wu Qi didn't care about everyone's eyes, and said to himself: "Besides, the sooner our army dispatches troops under the exposed situation, the shorter the time for the Japanese country to prepare, so it is better to dispatch troops earlier."

After Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, he immediately made a decision and said, "What General Wu said is true. This governor decided to send troops four days in advance." He looked at Wu Qi with admiration.

The generals were stunned when they heard the words.

The Allied Forces of the Four Nations originally agreed to send troops on March [-]th, but now it is March [-]th.

Send troops four days in advance?Isn't that today!

"Um, Commander-in-Chief, isn't it a little too hasty to send troops today?" Zhao Yun said with a wry smile.

But Zhou Yu didn't take it seriously and said: "Soldiers are expensive and fast, and the opportunity to fight is fleeting, how can we delay?

However, it does take time to prepare for the tens of thousands of troops to go out.

That being the case, let's dispatch troops tomorrow, three days in advance. "

Seeing this, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others all seemed hesitant to speak, but in the end they didn't say anything, they just thought to themselves: Zhou Yu is worthy of being Bai Qi's disciple, with such a vigorous and resolute appearance , exactly the same as Bai Qi.

"Come here, quickly send a message to the Song and Wu countries to let them cooperate with our army."

"promise."

In this way, Zhou Yu decided to adopt Wu Qi's strategy, and sent troops three days in advance to embark on the road to conquer the Japanese.
On the other side, Guo Jia, Ye Qingmei, Dugu Qiubai, Huang Shang, Chong Lou and others who were still on their way to Beihai were all stunned after receiving Zhou Yu's summons.

"What? Zhou Yu sent troops ahead of time? But Mr. Guo, the military adviser, and I, the supervisor, haven't arrived in Beihai yet." Ye Qingmei said in surprise.

There are great masters in the country of Wa, and in order to prevent their generals from being assassinated by the great masters of the country of Wa, Ying Hao sent three great masters, Dugu Qiubai, Huang Shang, and Chong Lou, to help out.

In addition, Ying Hao also appointed Guo Jia as a military adviser and Ye Qingmei as a supervisor, and asked them to help Zhou Yu together.

According to the speed of Ye Qingmei and others, they could have arrived in Beihai before dispatching troops, but they never expected Zhou Yu to dispatch troops three days earlier.

Looking at Zhou Yu's message, Guo Jia frowned and said, "Zhou Yu will send troops ahead of time because the Wa Kingdom has already heard the news of our army's conquest of the Wa Kingdom. The sooner our army dispatches troops, the less time Wa Kingdom will have to prepare."

"But what should we do?" Ye Qingmei smiled wryly.

After meditating for a while, Guo Jia bowed his hands to Dugu Qiubai behind him, and said solemnly: "Mr. Dugu, please, please take me to Beihai village before dispatching troops."

"clear."

Dugu Qiubai saluted in return, then jumped off the horse, picked up Guo Jia on his back, and ran towards Beihai, his speed was much faster than that of a war horse.

Seeing this, Ye Qingmei couldn't help being stunned. After she realized it, Huang Chang had already come to her horse and motioned her to jump on her back.

Ye Qingmei was helpless, if she wanted to arrive in time, she could not rely on horses, she could only rely on the foot strength of the great master, so she jumped up and said at the same time: "Mr. Huang Chang, take it easy, I'm afraid of falling... ah..."

Seeing this, Chong Lou also jumped off the horse quilt, abandoned the horse and ran towards Beihai Port at high speed.

As for those ordinary guards, it is naturally impossible to get any better.

Under the 'escort' of the three great masters, although Guo Jia and Ye Qingmei were delivered in time before Zhou Yu dispatched troops, both of them were tossed hard, looking like they had nothing to love.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu was also a little embarrassed, and immediately drew out the sword at his waist, and shouted an order: "Tell my general, the fleet will set off, and send troops to conquer the Japanese."

"The governor has ordered that the fleet set out to conquer the Japanese."

"Zhengwo..."

Following Zhou Yu's order, the [-]-strong Qin Navy and two hundred warships of various types sailed out of Beihai Village one after another.

The other two hundred warships from Bohai Water Village and Tianjin Water Village have already been waiting at sea for a long time.

Four hundred warships from the three major water strongholds sailed out, joined forces and headed towards the country of Wa, pointing their swords at Kyushu Island.

The news of Zhou Yu's conquest of the Japanese three days in advance was quickly transmitted back to the Japanese country by the spies left behind by the Uesugi family through flying pigeons.

At this point, the Kyushu naval battle is imminent.
