The Han army changed its direction and attacked Shikoku and Kyushu, which also made other Japanese daimyo panic.
Daimyos located in Shikoku and Kyushu, such as Choso Gabe Motochin, Ryuzoji Takanobu, and Shimazu Yoshihisa, are the least calm daimyo. They couldn't keep calm at all. It was their territory that was being beaten!
If these territories were lost, then they would still be famous in name only!
Daimyos such as Choso Gabu Motochin, Ryuzoji Takanobu, Shimazu Yoshihisa, etc. immediately asked Takeda Shingen, the leader of the alliance, for help and asked him to send reinforcements to help.
Takeda Shingen had thought about agreeing to this request after careful consideration. It would be impossible not to agree to this request. If he does not agree, I am afraid that Chosou Gabe Motochichi, Ryuzoji Takanobu, Shimazu Yoshihisa and others will immediately withdraw from the alliance and return for reinforcements.
However, at this time, Li Guangbi and Yan Zhuang among Li Tang's reinforcements put forward a different view. In their opinion, instead of sending reinforcements back to rescue, it would be better to surround Wei and rescue Zhao.
First of all, there is the example of Wang Jian and Chang Yuchun attacking Shikoku Island. If they easily send out reinforcements, they may fall into the trap of others to encircle them for reinforcements.
Secondly, Li Guangbi and Yan Zhuang also saw an opportunity in this, an opportunity to defeat the Han army.
Although this time the Han army went to attack Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island, it also means one thing. It means that Bai Qi, Fu Youde, and Zhao She are bluffing now. The real strength in their hands is definitely not what they show. So much came out.
In the view of Li Guangbi and Yan Zhuang, rather than risking the rescue of Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island, it would be better to take this opportunity to attack the troops of Bai Qi, Fu Youde, and Zhao She to weaken the effective strength of the Han army in Japan. As long as this part of the force is weakened, there will be a chance to drive the Han army out of the Japanese country.
Judging from the current situation, even if they, Li Tang, help the Japanese, the Han army still has a greater chance of victory in the battle with the Japanese army. But if Li Guangbi and Yan Zhuang's plan succeeds, once the effective strength of the Han army in the Japanese country is weakened, they may not be able to design a plan to make both the Han army and the Japanese country suffer.
After Oda Nobunaga sent troops to invade Xuzhou, Li Tang also began to notice the existence of the Japanese state. When he was unable to make a breakthrough with Qin Zheng, he had the idea of annexing the Japanese state, but he was not aware of the situation of the Japanese state at that time. I really don’t know much about them, so it’s definitely impossible to hit them on the spot. At least I have to understand their situation first.
But just when Li Tang was collecting information about the Japanese country, the Han Dynasty had already taken the lead. Li Tang definitely couldn't compete with the Han Dynasty for the Japanese country's territory at this time, so he settled for the next best thing and cut it from the Japanese country. Came back from a trip to Hokkaido.
But now, if it is really possible to plan to inflict losses on both the Japanese and Han armies, Li Tang may not have a chance to win over the Japanese alone. To be more precise, what Li Tang wanted was not to conquer Japan alone, but the benefits of occupying Japan alone.
Li Shimin, Li Guangbi, Yan Zhuang and other senior officials of Li and Tang Dynasties could clearly see that if they could really defeat this Han expeditionary force, they would be at least seven levels sure that the Han people would not send a second expeditionary force. .
After all, the Han Dynasty is still in harmony among itself. How can these princes have so much leisure and leisure to send out expeditionary forces to conquer Japan again and again, just come here to grab some benefits!
For the Han princes, the Japanese country had no other value at all except those resources. After all, with the transportation conditions in ancient times, it was simply impossible for the Han princes to rule the Japanese country. Even if we really send troops to conquer this place, trouble will inevitably occur within a few years.
In ancient times, when transportation was inconvenient, it didn't mean that once you conquered the territory, it was definitely yours. Just because you have established a territory does not necessarily mean you can rule it.
In fact, even Li Tang is far closer to the Japanese country than the Han Dynasty is to our country. However, it is only a little bit on the map, but if you actually travel by boat, it will take a long time. It’s day! Therefore, even if Li Tang really occupied the territory of Japan, although it was possible, it would actually be difficult to achieve stable rule here.
In ancient times, with such backward transportation, these island countries did not have advantages. At least in a sense, they were relatively safe.
It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin was actually not interested in the territory he was in, but the gold and silver mines and other resources of Japan, as well as the population of Japan. The reason why Li Shimin asked to cut off Hokkaido was really just for the gold and silver mines on that land and the population of that land.
Of course, although Li Guangbi and Yan Zhuang had been malicious towards the Japanese country at this time, they certainly could not do so on the surface. They still needed the Japanese country to fight the Han army in front. Therefore, when giving this suggestion, I also used a nice word, surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao.
If Bai Qi, Zhao She, and Fu Youde had enough sense of crisis, the Han army that attacked Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island would naturally return to rescue them.
However, although Li Guangbi and Yan Zhuang said so, it is certainly impossible for the daimyo in Shikoku and Kyushu to agree so easily, such as Choso Gabu Motochin, Ryuzoji Takanobu, Shimazu Yoshihisa, etc.
Especially Ryuzoji Takanobu and Shimazu Yoshihisa, the two daimyo on Kyushu Island. What a joke. The ones who attacked Kyushu Island were Liu Bei and Dou Jiande from Qingzhou. Even if something happened to Bai Qi, Zhao She, and Fu Youde, The question is, why did Guan Yu and Xue Wanche go to the rescue so easily?
They themselves are representatives of one big name and one power. How could they not be aware of the intrigues among these princes? Although everyone is said to be allies, isn't this kind of alliance essentially used to deceive others?
When the time comes, even if the rescue is ostensibly agreed to, what's the problem if an "accident" happens on the way and is delayed for a month or two?
It is precisely because of this that among the daimyo of the Japanese kingdom, the only ones who are really anxious are Choso Gabu Motochin, Ryuzoji Takanobu, Shimazu Yoshihisa and other daimyo from Shikoku and Kyushu. Among the remaining daimyo Among them, the long-term concern is the future of Japan and their future. And those who are short-sighted may look anxious on the surface, but in fact, they may be snickering in their hearts!
