Vol 2 Chapter 2940: Susano'o three battles Torochi

Chapter 2940 Susanoo’s three battles with Tomo Toro

Chapter 2936 Susanoo’s three battles with Toro Chi

Since the beginning of the Yingzhou Campaign, dozens of battles have broken out, but there is only one decisive battle, and that is the battle where Tachibana Michyuki lost to Wang Mang, and the upcoming Battle of Kyushu will undoubtedly be the next one. .

To put it bluntly, the battle between Qin Zheng and Wang Mang in Jiuzhou will directly affect the situation of the Battle of Yingzhou.

If Qin Zheng wins, the Qin army will have the opportunity to completely capture Jiuzhou again, and then continue to implement Wang Jian's encirclement and annihilation plan, first from the west and then from the east to complete the unification of Yingzhou.

If Wang Mang wins, although the Qin army will not be completely defeated and completely withdraw from Yingzhou, Jiuzhou will definitely not be able to be saved. The four countries with only one corner will be in danger, and the situation in the future will be even more difficult.

To be honest, Wang Jian is not optimistic that Qin Zheng can win the Battle of Kyushu. After all, the strength gap between the two sides is indeed a bit big.

If Wang Jian were to take command in person, he would still be sure to win, but the process would be very difficult, but he had no time to spare. The state could not do without him for a moment, so he could only leave it to Qin Zheng, who was second only to him. Full responsibility.

Qin Zheng's military ability was naturally not comparable to Wang Jian's, but Wang Jian felt that with Qin Zheng's wisdom, since he dared to take the initiative to start a war, even if he could not win, he could at least fight to the death of both sides.

Therefore, Wang Jian's expectation for Qin Zheng is not to win the battle, but to make the Kyushu army unable to intervene in the state, so as not to face another enemy army, and to reduce the pressure on the Qin army in the state as much as possible. This is enough.

As for the Benzhou side, even if Wang Jian is extremely capable and uses troops like a god, he can only ensure the victory of one army, but the Qin army in this province has to face five enemy armies.

Therefore, before the outcome of the Battle of Kyushu was decided, in order to prevent being defeated one by one by the coalition forces, Wang Jian decided to shrink the defense line first and strategically abandon some easy-to-attack and difficult-to-defend areas, and then decide whether to attack or not after the Battle of Kyushu was decided. Keep.

But this decision made the Yingzhou family coalition led by the Oda, Tokugawa, Hojo and other families very uncomfortable.

Although Da Qin has five counties in Yingzhou, its real core is the two counties in Guandong. After all, 80% of its resources and energy are used to build and develop the Guandong Plain. As long as these two counties are not lost, Da Qin will have the capital to make a comeback. .

After Qin Zheng became the governor of Yingzhou, in addition to forcibly moving all the family members of Qin Xiejun to the Guandong Plain for resettlement, he also moved the core personnel of major aristocratic families to Guandong. However, due to the complex composition of the aristocratic families, even if they were moved, Core personnel will not affect their local control.

The current situation in Guandong in Yingzhou is very similar to that in Guanzhong in the Central Plains after the Yellow Turban Uprising. They are both gathering places for aristocratic families. However, since this is the headquarters of Da Qin, although aristocratic families also have interests in the two counties of Guandong, they are only small heads after all. involves fundamentals.

It is unrealistic to expect tenants to protect the interests of landlords.

Therefore, in the previous counterattack, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the family coalition forces, Wang Jian promised that whoever captured the land would belong to them.

Later, under the leadership of Wang Jian, the Qin army invaded the Mino Plain and Shikoku Island, and even almost unified Kyushu Island. At the same time, the Yingzhou family gained a lot of territory and population, so now Wang Jian will sacrifice his life if he wants to shrink the defense line. The interests of many Yingzhou families.

Wang Jian was naturally well aware of this, and it was difficult for him to come forward in this matter himself. He could only ask Uesugi Kenshin, Susano'o and others to appease the families whose interests were harmed, and made a promise to them after the war. Will compensate them.

The Yingzhou family, which has been **** by interests, is not completely ignorant of the overall situation, but they are reluctant to let go when it involves themselves. Therefore, after hearing the post-war compensation promised by Wang Jian, they naturally have no reason to object.

In fact, even if they continue to oppose, it will not have much impact. After all, once the Qin Army and the Qin Xie Army withdraw, if they do not withdraw, will they wait for the coalition forces to come and kill them?

After arranging everything, Wang Jian recruited four powerful generals: Susano'o, Kenshin Ueyama, Ren Bi, and Meng Yi.

Intermediate God of War Oyama Tsumi was injured by Tomo Toro and has not yet recovered from his injuries, so he was not included in this call-up.

"Receiving information from the Black Ice Platform spy, Yuan Luzhi is moving towards Kyushu."

Wang Jian looked at Susano'o, the strongest among the four, and said in a deep voice: "A decisive battle is about to break out in Kyushu. Torochi will go to Kyushu Island at this time to support Wang Mang."

Susano'o was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked in surprise: "His injury healed so quickly?"

In the previous battle, although Susanoo failed to kill Toro Tomo, he was seriously injured. As a result, Oyama Tsumi, who was injured first, was not fully recovered, but Toro Tomo, who was injured later, recovered. Yes, this recovery ability is too strong.

"Yuan Lu Zhi is a monster. With his physique, even if he has not recovered yet, he is probably already healed. He will be almost healed by the time Jiuzhou arrives." Meng Yi said solemnly.

As someone who had fought against Yuan Luzhi, even though it was a group fight, he had been injured, so Meng Yi naturally had the right to speak.

The opponent's recovery speed is indeed extremely amazing, and it seems that every time he is seriously injured, his strength becomes stronger. He is simply a monster.

"On the Kyushu side, Qin Zheng, the governor, is already at a disadvantage. If Yuan Luzhi joins Wang Mang's army again, the gap will widen further, so we must send people here to support Qin Zheng, the governor."

Hearing Wang Jian's words, Uesugi Kenshin said: "Grand Governor, is there a possibility that Enlu Zhi is rushing to Kyushu on the surface, but in fact he is driving the tiger away from the mountain. Once we transfer the masters away, the coalition forces will Will we launch a counterattack?”

"How can such a reckless man have such brains?"

Ren Bi muttered unhappily. He had also fought against Yuan Lu Zhi. He considered himself a reckless man, but Yuan Lu Zhi was even more reckless than him. He felt like the Yingzhou version of Li Yuanba, so naturally he didn't feel that way. The other party can come up with a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

"But it is indeed possible. Besides, even if Tomo Toro is a reckless man, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is not." Meng Yi retorted.

"alright."

Wang Jian raised his hand to interrupt everyone's debate and said: "Our army has the advantage of the navy, and the speed of traveling by water is faster than that by land. Even the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain can be responded to, but if we don't send people to support, Qin Zheng's governor will Defeat is inevitable." After saying that, Wang Jian looked at Susanoo again and asked: "General Susanoo, based on past experience, Torochi will probably be stronger this time. If you and Torochi are allowed to fight again, "Are you sure you can defeat him?"

Susano'o patted his chest with a confident expression and said, "You're guaranteed to win."

"How sure are you?"

"Ten percent."

This is not Susano'o's bragging. He and Torochi fought twice. Although each time Torochi lost, the opponent's strength would be further improved after recovering from injuries, but he could feel that the opponent was only improving in skill and state. But failed to keep up.

In short, Yuan Luzhi's situation is very similar to that of Li Yuanba. Both of them can exert their own strength beyond their own realm, which is a type of abnormal growth.

As the Japanese God of War, Susano'o has no shortcomings. As an all-round science master, he naturally does not feel that he will be defeated by a single-class Changsheng.

Nongwei Plain, Qingzhou City.

This city was originally the capital of the Japanese Empire, and it was also the birthplace of Oda Nobunaga. However, after the destruction of the country, it became a place ruled by the four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song, and Wu. Now it has become the base camp of the Five-Nation Allied Forces in the Nobi War Zone. .

The trigger for the outbreak of the Yingzhou War was Wei general Cao Pi's alliance with the Song army. The two countries jointly attacked and destroyed Qin's 300 garrison in Qingzhou City, thus setting off the mighty Yingzhou War.

"Second brother, good news."

Cao Zhang burst into the city lord's palace with a smile on his face. As soon as he saw Cao Pi, he said quickly: "That old man Wang Jian fell into the trap. Now our opportunity has come."

Cao Pi, who was originally worried about the domestic war situation, couldn't help but look happy when he heard Cao Zhang's words and asked: "Did Wang Jian really transfer the man in the sequel to Kyushu Island?"

"The news I just received is absolutely correct."

"Very good."

Cao Pi stood up excitedly and pretended to transfer Torochi to Kyushu. In fact, it was a plan he and Toyotomi Hideyoshi thought up together. He had given up hope, but he didn't expect Wang Jian to really transfer Susanoo. Went to Kyushu.

In this case, even if the Qin army has the advantage of a naval force and the water route is faster than the land route, as long as it operates properly, it can still mobilize Yuan Luzhi back first and then launch a counterattack to seize Nongwei.

Regarding Cao Wei's situation, although he was far away in Yingzhou, Cao Pi was still aware of it, so even though he and his younger brother were doing well in Yingzhou, they were still worried all day long. After all, once Cao Wei was subjugated, he would be the prince of the subjugated kingdom. The situation is definitely not going to be good.

To be honest, Cao Pi didn't quite understand his father. He could have left a way out, but he chose to go all the way. Qin and Wei were in-laws. We were all relatives, so why should we completely break up?

But Cao Pi did not dare to say these words to Cao Cao. After all, he was not the heir apparent, and his status in his father's heart was not as high as that of his eldest brother Cao Ang. Cao Ang was almost deposed as the heir apparent because of this, let alone his unpopular second son. .

In fact, Cao Pi was not optimistic about Cao Wei's future. After all, the 300,000 troops on the western front were defeated, and Cao Wei did not have much wealth left in the Central Plains. The new army that could only defend the city could never be the opponent of the Qin army.

Under this situation, if Cao Wei continued to fight, regardless of whether it could defeat the Qin army, even if it could, it would be annexed by the Song and Ming countries in the future, so it would be better to surrender to Qin.

Although Cao Pi was also dissatisfied with Cao Cao's actions, he could not disobey his father, and no one in Cao Wei could disobey Cao Cao's will. All he could do was to try his best to open up a new world in Yingzhou in order to fight for the future of Cao Wei's fall. A way of retreat that will not lead to the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the clan.

The current distribution of forces in Yingzhou is very complicated. Qin, Wei, Song, Ming, Wu, Toyotomi, and Korea are seven forces that carve up the entire four islands of Yingzhou.

In addition to occupying the largest Kanto Plain, Daqin also includes the southern area of ​​the Nobi Plain, one-third of the Kinki Plain, Hokuriku County, a corner of Shikoku Island, and Southern Kyushu. Although it accounts for nearly half of the essence of Yingzhou, it has Because of the multi-front fighting, they were at a disadvantage.

Take the Nongwei Plain as an example. It was originally ruled by the four parties of Wei, Song and Wu Fengchen, among which Cao Wei was stronger than Wu. However, because Wang Jian personally led the army to attack, the original pattern was completely broken, so that now Cao Wei has become the leader of Nongwei. The strongest force.

This is also the main reason why Cao Pi planned to divert the tiger away from the mountain and capture Nan Nongwei, because once Nongwei is recaptured, Cao Wei will definitely benefit the most.

Even if Cao Wei in the Central Plains were to perish, they would be able to use the ships of their allies Song and Ming to transfer people from the Central Plains to Yingzhou, at least without completely annihilating the country.

"Have you figured out the specific identities of the spies placed by Black Ice Platform in our army?" Cao Pi asked.

"Maybe there are still fish that have slipped through the net, but most of them have been figured out." Cao Zhang replied.

"Okay, at least we can't let Wang Jian know that Yuan Lu Zhi will be back before our army's counterattack begins."

Following Cao Pi's order, a large number of Heibingtai spies lurking in the coalition army were arrested, which also made it impossible for Wang Jian in Edo to learn about Torochi's movements through spies.

But just as Yuanlu Zhi rushed back after a long journey, the four-nation coalition forces of Wei, Song, Wu Fengchen, and Wu Fengchen gathered together, and a hundred thousand troops rushed to Nan Nongwei. But when the troops actually arrived at the city, everyone in the coalition was dumbfounded. Not only Wang Jian was standing on the tower, but also Susanoo also stood beside Wang Jian.

"Haha, little Cao Pi, little Toyotomi, your plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain is too crude. Do you want me to fall into this trap? Are you just daydreaming?" Wang Jian said with a smile, stroking his beard.
