Fang Zhiwen's winter hunting team arrived at Yongming Port through Tumen City along the coastline. If it is not included in the territory of another world, this is the easternmost territory of the Han Dynasty. At this time, there is already a world of ice and snow around Yongming. A large number of players flocked to Yongming to conduct winter hunting activities. It is said that the snow fox fur here is the highest price, and there are also a large number of precious medicinal materials.

Standing on the castle of the city lord's government office where Fang Zhiwen selected the site at that time, you can enjoy the scenery in Yongming Harbor. After the snow, there are thousands of oars fighting for ferry in the harbor, and the sails are like forests. Groups of seagulls are flying among the masts, making people feel refreshed.

Jia Xu rubbed his cold cheeks with both hands. It seemed that this place was colder than the winter in Xiliang. The winter in Xiliang was dry and cold, but it was cold here. Perhaps because of the sea water, this coldness penetrated into the gaps in the fur and drilled into the bone marrow, making the cold bones hurt.

Fang Zhiwen turned his head and glanced at Jia Xu, handed over a bottle: "Take a few sips to drive away the cold!"

Jia Xu took it and took two sips. The hot wine was burning all the way into his stomach, and a warm feeling dispelled the deep cold.

"Huh~ It's so cold!"

"Haha, so the soldiers here are extremely hard, and the frequency of changing defenses is higher."

"A soldier who can endure bitterness and cold is a qualified soldier."

Fang Zhiwen nodded with a smile and said to Taishi Ci on the side: "Although that's what you said, you still have to change your defense at the beginning of the year. Shi Lu will take over your shift and you will return to the funeral."

Taishi Ci nodded helplessly. She originally thought she could go to the battlefield and was still a Taiping Commander.

Seeing Taishi Ci's unsatisfied look, Taishi Zhaorong pursed her lips and smiled, while Jia Xu said, "Even if Ziyi is replaced by you to Yingzhou, there may not be too many wars next year."

"Ah?" Taishici looked at Jia Xu with some disappointment.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "There are no big wars in other places, the only lively place may be the opposite!"

Jia Xu pointed to the direction of the space-time road marking. Taishici looked subconsciously. Of course, he could see nothing except the sea and the ships on the sea.

Taishici glanced over her cousin's face and looked at Fang Zhiwen's face. Fang Zhiwen nodded with a smile: "Yes, the theme of next year is rest and recuperation."

"This lord is not a big deal! Even if we want to rest, our enemies may not agree!"

"Haha, if you don't agree, just hit them until they agree." Fang Zhiwen said with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, Huang Xu had already grabbed a sealed war news bulletin and ran up.

"The latest battle report sent by the lord Yingzhou Island"

Fang Zhiwen glanced at Taishi Ci and said, "Then the result is here."

In everyone's attention, Fang Zhiwen opened the message tube in front of everyone. Fang Zhiwen naturally knew the way to solve the puzzle of the secret text.

"Last night, our Navy's Third Fleet, Fifth Fleet and Sixth Fleet launched a raid on the Xiaguan City and Port of Yingzhou Island, as well as the heavy artillery positions along the coast of Kitakyushu. Qiyu Camp made another extraordinary contribution, burning down the Xiaguan port and a large number of ferries from the enemy in one fell swoop, burning down the enemy's troops and a large number of supplies in Xiaguan City, destroying Xiaguan, and destroying a large number of heavy artillery positions along the coast of Kitakyushu, and the Japanese Jiuzhou passages were temporarily cut off!"

Fang Zhiwen read out the battle report, Taishi Ci's eyes flashed, and then he understood the purpose of the navy's large-scale raid on Xiaguan, but did not occupy Xiaguan. This time, the attack on Xiaguan was actually forcing the Japanese army to retreat. If the Japanese army really retreated from Jiuzhou Island in accordance with Fang Zhiwen's intention, then the battle in Yingzhou will temporarily complete an important stage and enter a stage of comprehensively consolidating Jiuzhou Island. The next stage will be a more difficult battle on the island.

However, before that, as Fang Zhiwen said just now, the intensity of the war on Yingzhou Island will decrease, and the battle will not start again until the battlefield of the island is reopened.

"Lord, what about the Japanese reaction?"

"Haha, Ziyi, you're too anxious. What will happen to the Japanese reaction take time? Perhaps at the beginning, they would rather rely on the Fukuoka Fortification Group to fight to the end. However, as their activity space is compressed and their combat materials are consumed, they will definitely choose to retreat in the end."

Jia Xu's statement was recognized by Fang Zhiwen. Even if the Japanese are stubborn, their stomachs will not be stubborn. Then, if they are out of ammunition and food, how can they fight?

Taishici thought about it and had to admit that this was indeed the best choice for the Japanese. If they persisted, the Han army would even win without fighting. What the Japanese got was just a month of delay. To be honest, this month was optional for the Han army, and at most it would be delayed to repair water conservancy and build a city.

"Is next year mainly going to consolidate Kyushu Island?"

"Yes, if Kyushu Island can become the main support for attacking Yingzhou, it will definitely be more efficient than using Lelang as support. The battle on the island in the future will definitely be very jiliè. It is necessary to reduce the cost of combat as much as possible and reap the benefits of war in a timely manner."

"War bonus?"

"Well, the land, cities, property resources, population, etc. on Jiuzhou Island, these war dividends will be used earlier, and our war costs will be reduced as soon as possible. We can use the resources of Youzhou to support two national wars at the same time! Although the support of the World Council is strongly supported, this situation must be improved as soon as possible, otherwise it will drag down the development of Youzhou."

"But there are so many places in Kyushu Island, there are still many mountains."

"That's right, but the fields on Kyushu Island are all mature land, so there is no need to be developed again. Secondly, the human resources on Kyushu Island are transported to Xuantu, Yanbei and other places. These populations will soon create huge profits. In other words, they are to let the Japanese help us produce materials and food, and then we use these to defeat the Japanese and obtain more population resources. This is a war without losing money."

Taishi Ci suddenly realized

In November of the ninth year of Guangxi, Yamamoto Invincible General, who had been in trouble for another month, was already exhausted. The Han army was not in a hurry. On the one hand, the Han army continued to slowly remove the strongholds and fortresses around Fukuoka, and on the other hand, the attack on the direction of Beppu was also strengthened.

In addition, the attacks of the Han navy in the surrounding areas of Xiaguan basically blocked the connection between Kyushu Island and the main island. The Japanese army in the Hinayana direction of the Kyushu East Line had to shrink and slowly retreated towards Beppu and Zhongjin.

But after retreating like this, the Han army on the southern line immediately flocked to the south, and the pressure in Zhongjin increased. The Japanese army in Beppu could not sit still. Once Zhongjin was captured, the Japanese army in Beppu would either wait to starve to death or could only swim back to the island.

The entire war in Kyushu finally fell into the rhythm of Guo Jia and Li Ru. The only way to wait for the Japanese army was to be defeated. The Japanese army had few choices left, so they could die in a stubborn battle, or take advantage of the fact that there were still some supplies to quickly retreat to Kitakyushu and then rushed through the narrow strait at any cost and return to the island.

In the Japanese base camp, the debate about whether to continue to hold on or retreat has been going on for a month. The argument that insisted at the beginning undoubtedly had an absolute advantage. This is also the basis for the base camp to repeatedly issue orders to Yamamoto Invincible. However, as time passed, the strategic situation on Kyushu Island deteriorated rapidly, and even the people in the base camp gradually realized that if there was no supply, the unhurried Han army would probably win without a fight.

"Everyone has seen the latest battle reports. Although General Yamamoto insisted on fighting until the last person and was willing to break up for the Emperor, based on long-term considerations, should we withdraw these experienced elite troops? You must know that the war will not end soon, and the future war will be long and cruel. We still need them to continue fighting for the Yamato nation!"

"Can't they be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor if they break in Kyushu? Don't forget, they can be resurrected!"

"Idiot, let alone the losses after resurrection and the cost of re-grading, just re-issuing equipment is a problem. What about those indigenous people? These indigenous people are now depressed and have surrendered in large numbers. If these surrendered troops become the help of the Han army, then"

"Baga! Don't believe these rumors. This is just the propaganda of the Han army. How could our Yamato elite surrender to the inferior Chinese people!"

"You are a fool. Is this kind of thing really true? You can't open your eyes and see it? If you don't admit it, it means it's not true. You guys always like to lie to yourself."

"Bastard, who are you talking about?"

"Enough, is it useful every time I'm so noisy!"

"Okay, calm down, I will convey the above meaning. If possible, try to delay the pace of war and not make fearless sacrifices. Our strategic goal is to increase the cost of war for the Han army, extend the war time, and exchange time for opportunities, above!"

The conference room was quiet. The second and third generations still respected the above meaning very much. What's more, the above may be the meaning on the other side of the ocean, so they dare not disobey it.

"Okay, everyone vote, should you continue to stick to Fukuoka or retreat completely to Shibaguan"

Yamamoto Wudi looked at the latest order and felt relieved. He really didn't want to bear the heavy consequences of millions of troops being wiped out or starved to death. If that happens, he probably would have to have a cesarean section in reality.

Takeda Shingen is very calm, he seems to have seen through his fate long ago

"Tada-kun, guess what this order is?"

"The general's face has already written the command. This is the order to retreat!"

Yamamoto touched his face and smiled bitterly, "Is it so obvious?"

"It's because the general is too worried these days, so it's more obvious."

"It's also haha, the island country has no navy's sorrow!"

"General General, we have more than just the navy"

Yamamoto Wudi shook his hand: "Don't say this, you will cause trouble for yourself. No matter what, the fact is that, and fighting has become the only choice. Then, Takeda Jun should not think about or say anything other than fighting."

"Just obey the order!" (To be continued...)
