Li Tang is not comparable to the Japanese. Li Tang has learned from the Han Dynasty for more than ten years and has experienced a period of rapid development, putting aside his former backward barbarian state.
Moreover, due to Li Tang's alliance with the grassland forces, he has been exchanging supplies with each other over the years and vigorously developed trade with the grasslands. As a result, his national power and military power have rapidly grown.
Moreover, Li Tang has been able to fight against Qin Zheng in Youzhou for so many years, and the combat effectiveness of his soldiers cannot be underestimated. After so many years of hard work by Li Shimin, the overall quality of Li Tang's army was not inferior to that of any prince in the Han Dynasty.
Especially the expanded Xuanjia Cavalry, this force gave even Qin Zheng a huge headache, and he was easily unwilling to confront this force head-on.
No matter from which aspect, there is a huge gap between Japan and Li Tang.
Li Tang's alliance with Japan will inevitably bring different changes to the war situation. It is absolutely impossible to deal with Li Tang as easily as dealing with the Japanese army.
It is precisely because of this that the Han generals led by Bai Qi temporarily gave up their previous strategy and gave up the idea of attacking Honshu Island, where the Japanese power was most concentrated, and instead attacked Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island, which were weaker among the Japanese countries. .
First of all, the daimyo of Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island are now also in the alliance of Japan. Their troops have also entered the alliance to fight against the Han army. At this time, these two places are empty. .
Secondly, the Miyoshi clan and Otomo clan who died in the previous battle were the most powerful daimyo on Kyushu and Shikoku islands. The families of these two daimyo forces will suffer heavy losses, and their internal affairs are in chaos. If we attack at this time, we will get twice the result with half the effort.
In addition, it is due to the consideration of the relationship between troop strength and time.
In these successive fierce battles, although the Han army killed nearly three-quarters of the main force of the Japanese army, their own casualties were definitely not small.
Several successive battles, coupled with the siege of cities and territories along the way, had cost the Han army nearly 40,000 casualties. Of the 200,000 troops, excluding the 40,000 that have been damaged, and the 40,000 navy troops, part of them must also perform escort missions, and all the troops cannot be used in combat.
In addition, those territories that have been conquered are not over after they are conquered. They have to send some troops to watch the opponent.
If no troops are sent out to watch, even if those territories have been conquered by the Han army, they may once again become the territory controlled by the Japanese as soon as the Han army leaves. In this case, wouldn't their previous actions have been in vain?
Not to mention not sending troops to watch, even if we send troops to watch, there will occasionally be some small-scale unrest in the rear. Although it is only some small-scale unrest and the trouble it brings is limited, it is enough to explain something from the side. Problem.
Chen Ping, Chen Deng, Gongsun Yan and other counselors under the princes made some relatively tolerant suggestions.
However, Bai Qi was unwilling to waste too much time behind. If there was any unrest, he would suppress it forcefully. As long as you participate in the turmoil, even if you are not killed on the spot but are captured in the end, you will end up being trapped and killed.
In fact, they would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go. In a short period of time, the number of Japanese people who were tricked and killed was as high as 60,000. And among these 60,000 people, who knows how many were killed by mistake?
Of course, few people in the Han army cared about whether these people were killed by mistake. The process of conquest was inherently cruel!
The more you kill, the more you will resist! However, if the killing is really ruthless enough, it may not be possible to suppress their resistance!
Therefore, after the resistance after the killings began to be aroused, and after Bai Qi massacred four more cities in succession, the resistance that was about to be aroused gradually began to subside.
In addition to the 60,000 people who were killed in the previous trap and those four cities, almost 200,000 Japanese were buried in this accident.
If Chen Ping and others hadn't warned him, Bai Qi might have been more ruthless this time. After all, the Han army still needs food, but where does the food come from? Naturally, it was cultivated by the Japanese! Moreover, the Han people also needed manpower to develop various minerals, and these things were also inseparable from the Japanese labor force!
If Bai Qi really killed all the Japanese, there would indeed be no more turmoil in the rear, but the Han army themselves would also be in big trouble!
However, this also shows that after those territories were captured by the Han army, a certain amount of troops must be left to guard them.
Therefore, the number of troops that the Han army can mobilize is definitely not rich. At the same time, facing the Japanese and Li Tang, the pressure is also considerable.
It was precisely based on these circumstances that the generals and counselors of the Han army decided after discussion to adopt the policy of using Japanese to control Japanese.
The Han army decided to establish a certain number of Japanese troops to help the Han army conquer the city and reduce Han casualties. As for the formation of the Japanese army, it is definitely not something that can be done in a hurry. It is said to be formed today and can be realized tomorrow. It will definitely take a certain amount of time.
Moreover, the personnel of the Japanese army must also go through certain screening. At least, it must be ensured that they all have family members under the control of the Han army, and it is impossible to find some old bachelors with no worries to join their army. .
After all, those who are not from my race must have different intentions. After these troops are formed, it is certainly impossible for them to go to the battlefield with bare hands. They must be given certain equipment!
Therefore, it is very important to ensure the Han army's ability to control this unit! If this cannot be guaranteed, once something goes wrong with this army, the Han army will just shoot itself in the foot.
Therefore, after considering all aspects, the Han generals believed that it was not the time for Japan or even Li Tang to directly launch a decisive battle. They should change their previous strategy and attack the empty Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island.
As a result, the three famous generals Bai Qi, Zhao She, and Fu Youde divided their troops into three groups, planted many flags, and disguised themselves as Tajima, Harima, Kawachi and other countries to attract the attention of Takeda Shingen and Oda Nobunaga. force.
However, in the dark, Chang Yuchun and Wang Jian's troops were led by Han Shizhong to cross eastward to Shikoku Island, while Guan Yu and Xue Wanche were also led by Liu Rengui to quietly enter Kyushu Island and launched an attack on these two places. surprise attack.
