Takeda Shingen was defeated, but the top priority of the Han army was not to pursue Takeda Shingen, but to expand the territory as soon as possible, supply food to the enemy, and obtain sources of food and grass from the Japanese.
And Bai Qi's appetite was really huge, and he captured the territories of Boqi, Ishimi, An Yun, Binhou, Bizhong, Bizen, Meisaku, Nagato, and Zhou Fang within his attack range.
Among the territories of these nine countries, two are under the control of Oda Nobunaga, two are under the territory of the Asai family, one is the territory of the Asakura family, and the remaining four countries belong to the Mori Yuan.
Right place.
It can be said that if Bai Qi takes these nine countries, it will mean that a powerful daimyo and two weak daimyo in the Japanese country will completely come to an end.
Among the nine kingdoms of Boqi, Shijian, Anyun, Binhou, Bichu, Bizen, Meizuo, Nagato, and Zhoufang, the three kingdoms of Bichu, Meizuo, and Shijian were the ones that attracted the most attention from the generals of the Han army.
Needless to say, Shi Jianguo, according to the information received by the Han army, there is a huge silver mine in this place, and this is one of the main reasons why the Han army came to the Japanese country.
Although there are no gold and silver mines in Beizhong and Meizuo, these two places are rich in copper and iron. Now the various princes in the Han Dynasty are engaged in a war, and the importance of copper and iron resources is not necessarily clear.
Much less important than the silver mines.
However, when it came time to actually send troops to these places, different opinions began to appear among the generals under the various princes.
Although everyone has already discussed the share ratio of the harvest before, even if the princes who sent troops to occupy that place will be divided according to the proportion, the princes will definitely do it secretly, and it will also be convenient for them.
Do tricks.
Therefore, none of these five forces were willing to be outdone, and they all focused on Beizhong, Meisaku, and Ishimi, hoping that their own troops would send troops to these three directions!
But there are only three places, but they have five families. No matter how they are divided, it will definitely not be divided in the end!
In the end, the Jin Army, as the eldest brother, made the decision. The Jin Army was responsible for Shi Jian and the Nagato Kingdom. Liu Beijun was responsible for An Yun and Zhou Fang Kingdom.
In the first two kingdoms, Dou Jiande's army was in charge of Boqi Kingdom.
The territory that the Jin Army and Liu Bei Army attacked was the territory controlled by Mouri Yuanji, so it was bound to be more difficult. As for the remaining countries, due to Takeda Shingen's defeat, their defenses were weak at this time.
It's relatively easy.
Regarding this arrangement, although the members of several other forces would definitely not be 100% convinced, they could only choose to compromise in the end.
First of all, among the five of them, the Jin army is indeed the most powerful. The army of one family can equal the total of the remaining four families. In the face of powerful forces, they are more or less powerful.
They made some compromises. There is no way, why are they inferior to others! In troubled times, being weak is a kind of original sin!
Although after confirming the news about the gold and silver mines, Zhu Yuanzhang of the Yangzhou Army once thought about increasing his troops again, but in the end he was unable to do so. With Liu Che here, it was not easy for him to maintain this scale, let alone continue to increase his troops to the Japanese country.
Got it!
Nowadays, everyone in Liu Che's power is holding back their energy and thinking about how to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang!
Secondly, Bai Qi has also promised that although the forces of Liu Bei and Dou Jiande were not allocated to Beizhong, Meizuo and Shijian this time, they can wait until these nine countries are resolved before continuing to attack other areas.
, their turn will be given priority next.
In this way, several forces finally reluctantly reached this decision!
After all, since arriving in Japan, they have not relaxed their collection of information here. They have indeed discovered that although this is a barbarian land, according to the intelligence they received, there are indeed a large number of gold and silver mines.
It is a pity that although there are a large number of gold and silver mines in the Japanese country, due to the lack of strength of the Japanese people, these gold and silver mines can only become the gold and silver mines of the Han Dynasty in the future.
Not to mention the distance, in addition to Iwami Kingdom, there are also a large number of gold and silver mines in Sado Kingdom.
In Sado Country, although it is not as large as Iwami Ginzan when taken individually, there are many gold and silver mines such as Osu Ginzan, Tsuruko Ginzan and Sado Gold Mountain.
It is precisely because of the large number of gold and silver mines here that the Han army did not fight over it now. Even if the Jin army occupied the Shijian silver mine and mined it until it was divided, the Jin army would never obediently follow the previous
If you divide it according to the agreed ratio, you will definitely keep a part of it secretly.
However, when they later occupy other gold and silver mines and start mining, they will definitely follow the Jin army's approach and secretly retain some of them before sharing them with other forces.
After Takeda Shingen's defeat, Mourimoto did not follow Takeda Shingen's defeated troops all the way to the west. Instead, he took his own soldiers and horses all the way east and fled back to his own territory.
However, it had only been a few days since he had fled back to his own territory, and he had not yet completely settled down. Then, the soldiers and horses of the Han army followed closely and attacked!
After all, Mouri Yuan was also a top figure in the history of Japan. After he received the news, he did not panic because of the crisis, but responded calmly.
The eldest son Mori Takainaga sat in the rear, the third son Kobayakawa Takakage was responsible for resisting Liu Bei's army, and Mori Moto and his second son Yoshikawa Motoharu personally led the army to resist the most important enemy Jin army.
Motonari Motonari's three sons are all battle-hardened, and the third son Kobayakawa Takakage has long been able to take charge of his own business. What's more, Motonari Motonari also sent Tao Qingxian, Naoie Ukita, Terumoto Mouri, Hideaki Kobayakawa, Takeyoshi Murakami and Kurushima.
Tongkang and others are his arms.
The Ukita family was also a famous force in the Japanese country before, but it was destroyed by Mouri Motonari shortly before the Han army went to Dongyi, and a group of people including the Ukita Nao family also devoted themselves to survival.
Under the command of Motonari Mori.
These people were all famous Japanese generals. With these people helping Kobayakawa Takakage, Mourimoto was not worried about any problems there. Instead, he was worried about what he was facing here.
Although there were five princes in the Han army, the Jin army was the most intimidating from beginning to end. Moreover, not long ago, they had just tasted the power of Bai Qi. At this time, the scars were not there yet
Well, when the blood is dripping, how can you forget the pain?
