Since Qin Jinhong issued the order, the General Logistics Department and the First Army were all mobilized.
The soldiers of the First Army were also ready to go to the battlefield.

Beijing, Yanbei Expeditionary Force Headquarters
Yamashita Ning was currently inside the headquarters looking at the sand table.
At this time, Wada Hongyi walked over quickly and said respectfully: "General, the first batch of supplies from the Northeast has arrived."
At this time, Yamashita Ning put his right hand on his left hand and stared at the sand table in front of him. Then he pointed at Jin Province and said: "Hotian, I, Fuso, just took over Lu Province. What do you think the northwest side will think?" ?”
"Northwest?"
"I think they will wonder why I, Fuso, are so powerful. I took over two places in Hebei Province and Shandong Province in a few months." Wada Hongyi said with a smile.
"No, no, no" Yamashita Ning slowly shook his head.
"This is just one aspect. I think what they should be thinking about most is whether our troops will expand to the west."
Wada Hongichi seemed to have guessed Yamashita Ning's thoughts and asked: "General, do you want to..."
"I think what the northwest is thinking now is that they know that we have fought two major battles in the past few months, so they will not launch another major battle in a short time. They should relax their vigilance now."
"But what I think is that we should attack the northwest with thunderous momentum!"
Yamashita Ning spread his hands, as if the entire Yan Kingdom was under his control.
"General, if this is the case, then we will not only face the 200,000 troops of the Northwest Army, we will also face nearly 100,000 troops of the Northeast Army, and we can only dispatch two divisions at most."
"Yes, but we imperial warriors should dare to face difficulties head-on." After Yamashita Ning finished speaking, he asked again: "Where is the Ninth Division?"
"It can take up to three days to reach the designated location." Wada Hongyi said.
"Urge the Northeastern side to have resources arrive as soon as possible, and tell them that our Yanbei side will soon hold the third battle, and order the Sixth Division to move closer to Jin Province." Yamashita Ning said calmly, and then his tone suddenly changed He had to get serious: "Our Sixth and Ninth Corps of Fuso are called the Blades of Fuso. They have participated in several large-scale battles in many places. Can they still not be able to defeat a small Northwest Army?"
Just after Yamashita Ning finished speaking, a soldier walked into the headquarters.
"General, General Matsumoto Ishiki's telegram." Fuso's communications soldier said respectfully, holding the telegram in both hands.
Wada Hongyi took the telegram and handed it to Yamashita Ning with both hands without looking at it.
Yamashita Ning looked at the telegram, but there was no expression on his face.
"General, is there something wrong with General Matsumoto?"
"See for yourself." Yamashita Ning put the telegram on the table and then turned around and continued to look at the map.
"Yamashita-kun, congratulations on your successful victory over Lu Province. This has greatly improved the morale of our Fuso soldiers. I deeply congratulate you. However, while congratulating me, I would like to give Yamashita-kun a suggestion. I hope you will contact the Shu Army and pay attention to it." Regarding the movements of the Shu army, I feel that no matter what Yamashita-kun’s next plan is, I always feel that the Shu army is a threat to me, Fusang!”
Wada Hongyi looked serious after reading the telegram, and he said: "General, what General Matsumoto said is not unreasonable. To use a saying from Yanguo, it means knowing yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. There is no harm in us fully understanding every enemy."
"And this Shu army has publicly stated that it will resolutely resist external forces. Although he did not explicitly say it was us, that is what they meant."
Wada Hongichi also expressed his suggestions.
"Shu is a remote place. It used to be a place of exile for officials, and it was in a state of melee for a long time. No matter how brave the Shu army is, their weapons and equipment are not very powerful."
"But General, the Shu Army single-handedly destroyed two legions of the Jiangnan Army."
"So what? The weapons and equipment of the Jiangnan Army are backward. Isn't it normal for the Shu Army to rely on its terrain advantage to destroy the two miscellaneous legions of the Jiangnan Army?" Yamashita Ning still thinks that the Shu Army is rubbish and has nothing to do with their Fuso troops. big difference.
"But what you said is not unreasonable. If you know yourself and know the other side, you will never be in danger of a hundred battles. Sooner or later we will fight against the Shu army. Regardless of whether they help this time or not, order the Special High School Division to send people into Shu to investigate."
"Hey!" Wada Hongyi said respectfully.
"General, should we change our plan and suspend the attack on the Northwest Army until the results of the Special High School investigation are found?"
"No!" Yamashita Ning immediately turned around and said: "No matter what the outcome is, the Northwest Army must attack. Our Fuso soldiers are not afraid of any difficulties, let alone my Fuso sword troops."
Yamashita Ning spoke proudly, full of confidence in his troops.
…
Jin Province.
Since the end of the battle in Hebei Province, Han Xiliang fled back to Jin Province with his troops. Now he only has four armies with less than 100,000 people.
Moreover, the weapons and ammunition in his hand were seriously low, and he was now worried that Fuso would attack.
Because according to his analysis, the Fuso Army will not be so scattered if it fights south. If he wants to win the Central Plains Province, he will definitely gather the strength of several divisions.
There is no news that the Fusang Army has gathered forces. Instead, Fusang's Sixth Division has entered the border of Shanxi Province. Although there is no action, it is enough to scare the Koreans.
At this time, he was sitting in a mansion in Taifang City.
"Commander, a telegram has been sent from the Jiangnan Army." A soldier handed the telegram in his hand to Han Xiliang.
Han Xiliang's face instantly turned ugly when he read the contents of the telegram. He did not expect that Xu Dingfang planned to ask him to abandon Jin Province and lead the Northeastern Army and the troops from the Central Plains Province to jointly resist the Fuso Army's attack.
Han Xiliang could tell at a glance what Xu Dingfang meant by looking at the telegram. He wanted the Northwest Army to face the Fusang Army's attack and let his troops embolden his troops in the Central Plains Province.
After all, he still has 100,000 troops in hand.
Han Xiliang took the telegram and hesitated to make a decision, because one of his decisions was related to the life and death of the Northeast Army.
In the end, he weighed the pros and cons and decided to retreat and cede Jin Province to the Fusang Army, because his 100,000 people simply could not stop the Fusang Army's attack. Rather than doing this, he might as well join forces with Xu Dingfang's troops in the Central Plains Province.
This will have a greater deterrent effect on Fuso.
Then Han Xiliang replied to Xu Dingfang and agreed to his plan.
However, the Northeast Army was not happy when the Northeast Army withdrew like this. Feng Hui did not expect that the Northeast Army would make such a move.
Originally, his intention was to send troops to support the Northeast Army once the war started, but now it was better and they withdrew.
What to do?
