The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

"Your Highness, the situation in Fuso is different from ours. Even if their monarch wants to mobilize the army, he must discuss it with the daimyo in various places. The monarch does not have many troops in his hands, so it is not easy to judge yet. , after all, there are less than 20,000 people near their capital."

Regarding Ding Tu's statement, Li Xiang still nodded and acknowledged it. After all, he also knew something about Fuso in this era. The emperor's rights were only nominal. He could not mobilize the troops from various places. It could only be said to be a place of coordination. Some places in various places The power of the more powerful daimyo even exceeded that of the emperor.

Take the locals in Fukuoka as an example. When they heard that they had been occupied by the Tang army for a long time, these people did not have any worries in their hearts. They just felt a little regretful and did not think about driving out the Tang army. It was as if It was the same thing in the neighboring countries. Only when the Tang Dynasty army came to kill them did they know that this matter had something to do with them.

"I have also been conducting research on Fuso recently. This country is different from Goguryeo because it is scattered in various places, and all of them are islands. Plus it has a large population. If we rush to occupy it, this mess will be difficult to clean up in the end. , we have to proceed steadily and advance little by little."

General Qin Qiong was not idle during this period. He read a lot of information about Fusang, found some old people in Fusang outside, and chatted with them about Fusang before he came to this conclusion.

Hearing General Qin Qiong's conclusion, Cheng Yaojin frowned. According to Cheng Yaojin's idea, with our current strength, we have nothing to worry about. We can just kill them all. It is nothing more than a small country. But Li Xiang I very much agree with General Qin Qiong’s opinion.

For Li Xiang, we must fight steadily at this stage, especially on the isolated overseas islands. In the future, Li Xiang’s war will expand to the whole world. If we accumulate deep experience this time, it will also be beneficial to our future expansion. Very useful.

"I also agree with what General Qin said. After occupying Nagasaki and Fukuoka, I found that many people here are difficult to control. Most of the people can obey us, but there are still some people fighting guerrillas nearby. It caused us a lot of casualties, especially after leaving the seaside for dozens of kilometers and entering their mountainous area, we had no way to clear it."

This has been Ding Tu’s biggest headache for a while. Taking clothing as an example, there are currently only four or five hundred people who oppose it, but these four or five hundred people are attacking us day and night, and they are familiar with some local conditions. , the attacks were hard for us to defend against, and the casualties each time were not large, but if we add them all up, then this is not a small number. From the occupation of Fukuoka to the present, more than 70 people have died in such attacks.

Take last night for example, we had already started to rest, but these people slowly came in from outside the city, and they started burning the house without asking, and they didn't care whether the house belonged to the Tang army or the local people. Anyway, about ten people carried fire sources throughout the whole process and lit everything that could be ignited.

According to what they think, since Datang wants to occupy Fukuoka, then we will burn the entire Fukuoka and leave Datang with a ruined city. Then we will see if Datang is still useful.

While we were busy putting out the fire, another group of people came to the beach and prepared to burn our boat. Fortunately, there were more soldiers on duty at the beach, which isolated these people and killed more than a dozen of them. But even if In this way, our losses were relatively large. Two soldiers died and three were injured in the fire. In addition, more than a dozen Fuso troops died. Even so, they took advantage.

The most important thing is to give the local people the illusion that Fuso's resistance is still going on, so many people kneel down for us during the day and may get in touch with these people at night, so we can't advance too fast. If all the places we occupied were like this, we would suffer countless casualties every day.

After hearing the news, Li Xiang also felt a little embarrassed. Of course he knew that if the Fusang nation believed in them, it would be easy for them to succumb. This was simply impossible.

People in this country have never been able to give in easily, especially to us.

"I still said what I said before. Troubled times require heavy punishment. Now find me all those who died yesterday. There will definitely be their family members in the city and nearby villages. Kill them all and make them ours. The soldiers took revenge.”

Li Xiang might still worry about doing things in other places, but if he is in Fusang, Li Xiang will do things as serious as possible. There is no way he can give these people any sympathy, let alone us. There is no affection between them.

"I will do it immediately."

When Wu King Li Ke was here before, he would not approve some things. After all, he is the nominal commander. You can do what you want on the battlefield. This has already defeated Fukuoka. If you still want to fight with him If you go against it, it would be a bit too much, and it would also be a bit disrespectful to the court, so many iron-blooded policies cannot be implemented.

Now that Li Xiang has become the commander-in-chief, he naturally no longer worries about this matter. So after Li Xiang finished speaking, Ding Tu also knew what to do next. If you dare to attack us, then we dare to attack us. Your family members were found. Although the ones found were all dead family members, if they were dragged to the mountains and forests and chopped down, the news would naturally spread, and the evildoers inside would also be worried about their family members.

Of course, this can only threaten some people who have families and businesses. If they are single, then this method will have no effect on them at all, but it can also have a certain impact on their groups. Some people are worried about their families, so They would definitely not dare to stay on the mountain any longer, and those bachelors would never let these people go down the mountain. This might be the beginning of the internal strife between the two parties.

Li Xiang is a master of psychology. On the battlefield, you not only need to be strong, but also the most important thing is to be able to use your brain. If you can't use your brain, you will be led by others to fight for the rest of your life. Now we are We need to change from passive to active, so that conflicts arise within them.
