Chapter 2336: Japanese traitor plan to sweep across Kyushu
“Senior Taiyi, what you said: strong winds and flying clouds, are you referring to this storm?”
Xiang Yu stood on the cliff by the sea and pointed at the huge waves not far away.
He was standing in the heavy rain, obviously without an umbrella or wearing a hat, but as soon as the raindrops fell around him, they would be automatically bounced away by a stream of air. Except for his shoes, no part of his body was hit by the rain. wet.
Donghuang Taiyi was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Like Xiang Yu, he was obviously in a heavy rain, but his clothes did not get wet, just like an immortal.
Xiang Yu also fell silent, and then said: "If Zhou Yu doesn't realize it, not only the navy of the Three Kingdoms will be wiped out, but even the great master may not survive."
“Don’t worry, I made three hexagrams before the war. The hexagrams show that there is no danger. Besides, Zhou Yu is not a short-lived person. He will definitely understand my intention.” Donghuang Taiyi said, stroking his beard.
“Senior is really big-hearted.”
Xiang Yu snorted unhappily. After seeing this storm, he was frightened anyway. After all, if he couldn't escape, he was sure to survive, but his young daughter What should Ruoxi do?
“Senior, since you are so confident in your deduction skills, why not make a calculation and figure out how the coalition forces can capture Kyushu Island.”
“Don’t forget it.”
“Oh? It can’t be calculated?”
"No."
Donghuang Taiyi shook his head, then stretched out a finger and said with an inscrutable expression: "I have already calculated it in advance."
After saying that, Donghuang Taiyi turned around and left, leaving Xiang Yu standing there confused.
Zhou Yu thought that the storm would stop in two days at most, but he did not expect that the scale this time was far beyond his expectation.
The storm passed in just one day, but then it rained heavily again, and it continued for three days and three nights without ending.
The storm continued, and the army that was still in the Central Plains was unable to sail to Kyushu.
Therefore, the war against Japan could only be suspended, and the navy of the Three Kingdoms could only rest and recuperate in Hizen Country, waiting until the heavy rain stopped.
During the rest period, the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces did not do anything. The first and most important thing was to establish a good direction to prevent Japanese troops from raiding in the rain.
Zhou Yu asked himself that if he were a daimyo of the Shimazu family, he would definitely not miss this good opportunity. After all, the infantry would definitely take advantage of the enemy on the road, so he set up an ambush in advance and waited for the Japanese army to invade.
What Zhou Yu didn't expect was that after waiting for three days in a row, he didn't receive news of the invasion of Dayou's army. Instead, he got great good news.
The great name of the Otomo family, Otomo Zonglin, was actually among the surrendered prisoners of war.
Oda Nobunaga issued the order to retreat. Otomo Sorin was trapped by the Qin army and unable to withdraw from the chaotic battle group. Finally, he was forced to have no choice but to conceal his identity and feign surrender, and then seek opportunities to escape.
Hizen Country where the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms landed was the territory of the Otomo family. Otomo Zonglin originally had a great chance to escape, but he was so unlucky that he happened to encounter Gao Shun guarding the camp.
Gao Shun was the most dedicated and meticulous person. With him guarding the prisoner of war camp, it was naturally impossible for Dayou Zonglin to escape, but Gao Shun was caught red-handed.
Seeing that Gao Shun was about to execute all the escaped prisoners of war without saying a word, Dayo Zonglin had no choice but to reveal his identity in order to survive.
After Gao Shun learned the identity of Dayou Zonglin, he immediately informed Zhou Yu of the news, and Zhou Yu also came to interrogate Dayou Zonglin overnight.
Although Zhou Yu had Jie Siyun as his guide, Jie Siyun, a Han Chinese, could not understand the Japanese country better than Dayou Zonglin, a famous Japanese official.
So, through Dayou Zonglin, Zhou Yu was able to obtain more important information about the Japanese country, and even forced Dayou Zonglin to surrender so that the Dayou family surrendered without a fight.
Inside the dungeon.
Zhou Yu looked at Dayou Zonglin who was **** by Wuhua Da, and said indifferently: "Can you speak Chinese?"
Otomo Zonglin turned his head to the side in a dignified manner, not even looking at Zhou Yu, as if he didn't know how to say anything.
Gao Shunze on the other side said: "Grand Governor, this person can speak Chinese."
Seeing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that if I don't let you experience, what is life worse than death, you won't be able to explain it honestly."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yu blocked Dayou Zonglin's mouth with a rag and said to Gao Shun: "I will give him all the tortures until he speaks."
)
“Woo woo…”
Otomo Zonglin finally panicked, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak even if he wanted to.
Papa, pa…
The whip continued to hit Otomo Zonglin's body, and the execution soldiers did not spare any effort. Every time the whip fell, Otomo Zonglin's skin and flesh were torn apart, but he could not scream and could only keep moaning in pain.
Zhou Yu asked someone to bring a chair and quietly watched the execution. After being whipped a hundred times, Dayou Zonglin had no good flesh left in his body.
Looking at Dayou Zonglin who fainted from the pain, Zhou Yu said: "Wake him up and continue the execution."
)
The soldier directly picked up a basin of salt water and poured it over Otomo Zonglin's head.
Immediately afterwards, Otomo Zonglin’s shrill screams sounded again in the dungeon.
After a long time, the wailing gradually stopped, and Otomo Zonglin also lost half his life.
Zhou Yu came over at this time, took the pill out of his mouth, and asked indifferently: "Do you still want to talk about it now?"
Otomo Zonglin said in Chinese angrily: "What are you asking about?"
“Humph, what a bitch...”
The subsequent interrogation went very smoothly. No matter what Zhou Yu asked, Dayou Zonglin answered honestly, which saved Zhou Yu and continued the execution.
After some questioning, Zhou Yu had a better understanding of the forces, generals, terrain and other information about the eleven Japanese alliances, and naturally became more confident about this battle.
“Dayou Zonglin, I will give you a chance to survive. Are you willing to surrender to Daqin?”
Zhou Yu said with a cold face. Once the other party refused, he would immediately drag him out and slap him.
Dayou Zonglin said quickly: "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender." "In this case, write a letter of surrender and ask Dayou's family to surrender together."
Hearing this, Dayou Zonglin hesitated: "This..."
Zhou Yu stared: "Why, do you want to pretend to surrender?"
“No, no, no, it’s just that the villain has not returned for several days. Everyone in the family must have thought that the villain was dead, and perhaps the villain’s younger brother has been given the new name.
Moreover, even if the villain writes a letter of surrender, the family may not be willing to surrender to Da Qin. "Dayou Zonglin said cautiously.
When Zhou Yu heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "So, you are no longer useful."
Dayou Zonglin was horrified and said quickly: "It's useful. A small person is of great use. Even if the family has a new name, there are still many small people in Dayou's family who are willing to surrender to the governor."
“It’s still somewhat useful, so I’ll spare your life first.”
Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction. He thought Dayou Zonglin was a tough guy, but he didn't expect him to be so greedy for life and afraid of death.
But this is fine, if the Japanese are not afraid of death, then his Japanese traitor plan will not be carried out.
Ying Hao never thought about completely conquering the Japanese country with five million people with only a few hundred thousand troops. He had already thought of supporting some weak Japanese spies and letting the Japanese kill each other. .
When Zhou Yu was preparing to attack Kyushu, he would let the army massacre the cities with strong resistance as a shock. The surrendered Japanese army would act as Japanese traitors, and let these Japanese traitors attack the city, collect food, and massacre on behalf of the coalition forces. This will reduce coalition casualties.
Zhou Yu also didn’t expect that the first Japanese traitor would be a daimyo-level figure.
After Dayou Zonglin finished writing the letter of surrender, Zhou Yu was just about to send it out when he received another bad news.
Otomo, Shimazu, and Mori, the three local forces in Kyushu, have already elected new daimyo.
The new daimyo of the Shimazu family is Shimazu Yoshihiro, the younger brother of Yoshihisa Shimazu.
The new daimyo of the Otomo family is Otomo Sorin's younger brother, Otomo Haruhide.
The new daimyo of the Mori family is Motoharu Mori, younger brother of Takamoto Mori and second son of Motonari Mori.
Zhou Yu did not know that Shimazu Yoshihisa and Maori Takamoto died in the storm, but this was extremely good news for the Japanese-conquering coalition.
There are only three local forces in Kyushu. The Japanese Allied Forces have not yet officially attacked Kyushu Island. Two of the three major forces' daimyo have already died in the battle, and one was captured alive by Da Qin.
The three daimyo were completely wiped out, which must have been a huge blow to the local forces in Kyushu.
In addition, even if the three major forces elect a new daimyo, the power handover ceremony will take time.
Zhou Yu immediately realized that this was a great opportunity to send troops, but the heavy rain had not stopped yet. It was impossible for him to fight the Japanese army in the rain.
"Forget it, let's send Dayou Zonglin's letter of surrender first and test the attitude of Dayou's family." Zhou Yu said to himself.
The Dayou family thought that Dayou Zonglin was dead, but they never expected that the head of the family was not dead, but was captured alive by Da Qin, and a letter of surrender was written and sent back.
After receiving the letter of surrender, Otomo Qinghide, who had just succeeded to the throne, tore it into pieces directly in front of the Qin envoys, claiming that his eldest brother was only forced to write the letter of surrender because he was coerced by the Qin army. He will never surrender to Da Qin.
Otomo Haruhide's decisiveness made everyone in the Otomo family breathe a sigh of relief. Many people proposed to kill the Qin envoy to strengthen the Otomo family's determination to resist Qin.
Otomo Haruhide hesitated again and again, but in the end he did not dare to kill the envoys. After all, he suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Tsushima. Now that the Qin Dynasty was at its peak, it was obviously extremely irrational to kill the envoys at this time, which would offend the Qin Dynasty to death.
Although Otomo Haruhide did not dare to kill the Qin envoy, facing the persecution of his subordinates, he could not do nothing, so he cut off one of the Qin envoy's ears and let him go.
The messenger immediately told the truth truthfully after returning, and Zhou Yu also understood Otomo Haruhide's intention.
He was unwilling to surrender to Qin, but because he was in awe of Qin due to his defeat, he was not firm in resisting Qin.
“If the hearts of the other three families are as good as Otomo Haruhide, the battle in Kyushu may be very easy.” Zhou Yu said to himself with a smile.
The next day, the sky cleared after the rain.
The heavy rain continued for five days and finally stopped.
The plan to conquer Kyushu is finally on the agenda.
As soon as the weather cleared, Zhou Yu immediately sent a message to the Central Plains and asked the navy to **** the army to Kyushu, but it would take at least three days to arrive.
Zhou Yu was naturally not going to be idle until the armies from the four countries arrived.
According to the information given by Otomo Zonglin, the major forces on Honshu Island are currently gathering. Once it is confirmed that the Qin army has landed in Kyushu, the armies of each major force will rush to Kyushu.
Therefore, Zhou Yu is preparing to lead naval forces to attack everywhere, destroy the major ports in eastern Kyushu, and cut off the connections between Kyushu and the four countries of Honshu, so as to prevent the armies from these two places from rushing to aid Kyushu Island, leaving Kyushu Island completely isolated and helpless.
This battle mainly involved the naval forces of Qin and Wu. The Song navy suffered more than half of its casualties. When dividing the spoils, Zhou Yu objected to compensating the Song state and directly pointed out that the Song state did not contribute much. This made Zhao Guangyi extremely dissatisfied. Therefore, the navy of Song Dynasty did not participate in this operation.
Next, with the joint efforts of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, the Qin-Wu coalition swept across the six major ports in eastern Kyushu in just two days, killing more than 8,000 soldiers from the three families of Maori, Otomo, and Shimazu, while suffering only a few casualties. Less than a thousand.
The three families, Mouri, Otomo, and Shimazu, had been on guard against the Qin army's incursion. They thought the Qin army would come from land, but they didn't expect that the Qin army would come from the land. They were caught off guard by being beaten again, and they immediately mobilized. The soldiers went to support them, but when they arrived, only the ruins of the burned port were left.
After destroying the ports on the west coast of Lejiuzhou, Sun Ce suggested that before the army landed, they could destroy the ports on the east coast as well, so the two of them destroyed three ports on the east coast in one day.
Three days later, Da Qin's fifty large troop transport ships and one hundred large cargo ships, fully loaded with 70,000 Qin and Wei coalition troops, successfully landed on the west coast of Hizen Kingdom.
Since the number of troop transport ships was not enough to transport 70,000 troops, Zhou Yu also pulled out hundreds of large cargo ships that sailed to the Western Ocean, and used the cargo ships as troop transports, so that he could transport 70,000 troops to Kyushu at one time.
As for Song and Wu’s 50,000 army, it would take another two days to arrive due to the longer distance.
Zhou Yu could not hold back for a long time. Naturally, he would not wait for the Song and Wu coalition forces. After announcing the "Japanese Massacre Order" in public, he immediately led the Qin and Wei armies to take the initiative to attack.
Under the fierce offensive of 70,000 Qin and Wei allied troops, the Otomo family was unable to resist at all, and they lost cities and territory one after another. They lost half of the Hizen Kingdom in less than a day.
The first general of the Otomo family, Tachibana Doyuki, saw that he was no match for the Qin army in the field, so he prepared to defend to the death. However, with the short and thin walls of the Japanese country, he could not stop the bombardment of the Qin army's catapults.
In this way, Zhou Yu captured the entire territory of Hizen in just two days, massacred three cities, killed 50,000 Japanese people, and surrendered nearly 40,000 Japanese soldiers and civilians.
Otomo Haruhide was frightened by the fact that he could be killed in one battle.
The plan cannot keep up with the change, and I have other things to do on the weekend, so this is the only update.
