Emperor Shenzhao's attitude was so decisive that war was inevitable. If Xiao Chen were standing at the downwind port at this moment, he should be able to feel the murderous aura blowing in the sea breeze!
Xiao Chen didn't care much about their murderous intent. What he cared about was whether Li Wanjiang would be murderous. Although the Russian soldiers had already gathered in place and would definitely not withdraw, they still had to be on guard against Li Wanjiang.
After falling out with the Japanese, he made several urgent memorials in succession, asking for the emperor's assistance. He wanted any kind of assistance, including money, soldiers, and food.
Xiao Chen knew that Li Wanjiang would not give him a tael of silver or a grain of food, but he might not send troops to him.
Since this period of time, Yanyunguan has also entered a state of emergency alert. Xue Jinshan's reconnaissance activities have been extremely frequent, and he even sent an elite reconnaissance team to sneak into the Niutoushan area quietly!
After being caught by Li Tanhua, she said it was a misunderstanding. They were originally going to the west, but got lost on the grassland...
Li Tanhua "believed it" and treated them to a drink before releasing them all.
Murong Heng also sent a message, saying that the Ministry of War had given him a very vague order, asking him to "be on alert and prepare for war, and take action according to the situation." As for where to move? He didn't say.
But judging from the current situation, it is probably necessary to move eastward...
The Great Zhou Navy also mobilized in Haining Bay in the name of rest and recuperation for a battle with the Yizhou Navy. The battle was mainly fought by the Japanese fleet. The Great Zhou Navy only cooperated, and the losses were minimal and almost negligible.
In this case, why don't you all go north to rest?
In addition, what does it mean that Yizhou's soldiers did not retreat to Minzhou and Jiangnan to reorganize nearby, but they were all transported to Haining Bay?
There are also a small group of Zhou soldiers active in the Yanyun Mountains south of Changshan City recently. They say they are logging, but even a fool knows that they are opening roads and building fortifications. What the hell are they cutting wood in the middle of summer?
It seems that Li Wanjiang wants to wait for me to get involved with the Japanese and reap the benefits. He doesn't know the bad idea that idiot gave him? It's probably that bastard Li Feng!
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I didn’t expect you to keep your word. Didn’t we agree that I would come back to stabilize the situation in the north? But you are too rude to stab me in the back.
Speaking of which, you still treat me like a donkey, driving me round and round to grind for you. When you grind out the tofu, you want to unload the grinder and kill the donkey! But Your Majesty, you are too impatient. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
If you were really anxious, it would be better if you took action earlier. If you had solved the Yizhou war earlier, before the Russians had gathered here, and before the Japanese had turned against each other, I might have been in a big mess.
But now, I am not afraid of you anymore. If you have the guts, just come here! Let your Majesty know how powerful I am...
"Xue Jinshan's Black Dragon Guard is still very powerful." Zhuge Xiaosheng despised the enemy strategically, but still respected the enemy tactically. Although everything was ready and confident, he still remained quite calm when things came to pass.
"As long as our war with Gao Juli goes smoothly, there will be no fight with Xue Jinshan." Xiao Chen said, "Li Wanjiang is prepared with both hands. He will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. If we are tough, he will be soft. If we are soft, he will be tough.
Get up."
"How about we give them a hard blow first?" Zhuge Xiaosheng said, "If Xue Jinshan makes a move, how about letting Zhou Hanxiang hit him head-on?"
"Let's forget it. It won't hurt or kill him with a stick. It doesn't hurt or itch. It's useless. Tell Zhou Hanxiang to make his Xuanming Guards be more honest and don't make blind moves for me." Xiao Chen said.
.
A few days ago, some of Zhou Hanxiang's powerful generals were very impassioned during a meeting and expressed extreme dissatisfaction with Marshal Zhuge's tactical arrangements. They slapped the table and insisted on having a fight with Xue Jinshan. His Black Dragon Guard was awesome, and so was my Xuanming Guard.
Not a coward!
Why should we let them in? And under the nose of our Xuan Mingwei...
Boss and marshal, you don't think it's embarrassing, but what about our Xuanming Guard being embarrassed?
Those who know this is your command, Marshal, but those who don’t know think we are afraid of Xue Jinshan’s Black Dragon Guard!
Are we afraid of him? Are we?
Needless to say, this is what Zhou Hanxiang meant. He did not take the initiative himself, but allowed his subordinates to argue with each other.
The generals are brave and actively ask for battle, which shows that their morale is high, which is a good thing. As the marshal, Zhuge Xiaosheng cannot restrain the excitement of the generals too much.
In addition, he felt that it would not be impossible for Zhou Hanxiang and Xue Jinshan to have a simple passionate collision, so that they could at least 'get to know' each other.
But Xiao Chen felt that this was not necessary. He had not yet planned to officially start a war with Dazhou. Even if there were some small-scale conflicts, the casualties on both sides must be kept to a minimum. Undead people are the best.
The main reason is that Xiao Chen does not want the common people in these states to suffer, because once the local war escalates, not only the casualties of soldiers on both sides, but the common people will be the most unlucky.
So let's implement it in accordance with our established strategic policy. If Xue Jinshan comes, just let them go all the way and keep them out of Xiaoguan.
Even if there is a fight, it will only be fought in Xiaoguan and will not affect other prefectures and counties.
Let's go all out to deal with the Japanese. Isn't the combined fleet of these little devils almost assembled? Why haven't they started yet?
Since the war is about to officially start, and everything is ready, there are only a few days left, so Xiao Chen and Zhuge Xiaosheng Gulou both think that it is better to wait for the Japanese to take action first, then it is a proper self-defense for us.
"Haha, Mr. Dugu and I analyzed that they wanted to choose a good and auspicious day to launch the attack, which is what they call a 'victory' day." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"Are the little devils also superstitious about this?" Xiao Chen asked, "What the hell is their victory day?"
"It's the summer solstice, which is the day that Fu Yan said 'kill the white tiger and enter the middle palace'. Haha, wasn't it on this day that we launched a general attack on the Russians and won a great victory? So the Japanese people think that this day is
The day of their victory, in order to commemorate this great victory, they designated this day as 'Victory' Day."
"How can you really fix things?" Xiao Chen said, "Why do you need to choose a day when you want to die? Then let's just deal with them this day..."
"Brother, you said bad words again!" A figure swooped over and stuffed a piece of candy into Xiao Chen's mouth.
"Oh, my sister is back!" Xiao Chen was overjoyed, spit out the candy, hugged her and kissed her several times.
"It's so sticky and annoying!" Ling'er kept wiping her face.
"Oh, do you dislike me, your brother?" Xiao Chen was unhappy, "I haven't disliked you for having dirt all over your face!"
"Brother, I'm back." Xiao Ye followed him in. After not seeing him for a few days, this kid seemed to have grown taller again.
"Have you eaten yet?" Xiao Chen was happy and immediately started preparing meals. He felt that no matter what time his younger brothers and sisters came back from outside, they would always be hungry.
