Chen Zongbing's series of Chinese-style magnanimous moves filled the military camp with an air of unhappiness.

Aren't we just relying on three things to survive in this world: being cowardly enough, not being loyal, and stabbing brothers in the back?

Isn't that how battles go? Running away isn't running away, it's called a strategic retreat; defeat isn't defeat, it's called a tactical maneuver.

It's more fun to fight when you're weak because you can feel the helplessness of being in a desperate situation. Otherwise, how can you experience the thrill of turning the tables? What do you say, Lord Yang?

After Chen Zongbing finished speaking, Yang Hao's face was as black as an African slave. He immediately flung his sleeves and left, and the air in the military camp suddenly became lively again.

After having fun, they had to think about how to fight the subsequent battles. Kaijing had now been recaptured, and two of the three capitals of Korea were in their hands. Huanghai Island had been recovered by half, but if Jiangyuan Province in the east was not resolved, they could never hope to finish this war.

At this time, watching Yang Hao being ridiculed in various ways, Xing Jie, the Minister of War and Governor-General, who had been silent all along, finally spoke:

"Let's put Lord Yang's matter aside for the time being. There are more important things at hand."

He focused everyone's attention on the large map and signaled to Chen Lin that since you were the one who was being sarcastic just now, why don't you make a suggestion on how to fight next? After all, you are the newly appointed Supreme Commander of the Anti-Japanese Forces.

Chen Lin didn't mind and directly began to gesture: "I think, since Yuanshan City was mentioned before, we might as well attack Yuanshan next."

"This city has always been a very important route in Jiangyuan Province. The major towns along the eastern coast are like a lifeline, and the most important supply point for this lifeline is Yuanshan City. This city faces the sea to the east and has a large port. By using the major towns along the eastern coast to replenish supplies via sea transport, the Japanese army can quickly send materials to the front lines."

"If this city is taken down, they will only be able to transport supplies by land. And Yongxing, Xianxing, Sishui, and Fengshan, these cities north of Yuanshan City, which were captured by Kato Kiyomasa and Shimazu Yoshihiro not long ago, will immediately run out of food."

"It is already winter, and northern Korea is bitterly cold. Moreover, the war has lasted for a long time, and there is not much food here at all! The arable land has also been destroyed in the flames of war! At this time, after the supply of materials is cut off, if they want to ensure that the soldiers in these cities can survive, they only have two options. The first is to take the initiative to attack our city defenses and fight to the death! The second is to retreat to Duanchuan City, a port in the north. At this time, their supplies can only be obtained from Duanchuan. Of course, this is only the first step towards their death."

"If we capture Yuanzhou, we can immediately attack Duanchuan directly from the sea. In this way, Japan will only have two ports left in the eastern coastal area, north of Yuanshan City, namely Jingcheng and Qingjin in the far north! However, these two ports are too far from the Japanese mainland, and materials are already scarce. The cities are small and dilapidated, and they do not have the ability to send supplies directly across the sea. Therefore, we only need to take Yuanzhou and then capture Duanchuan, and the remaining Japanese troops will all retreat to Jingcheng and Qingjin ports in the far north. And the result of a large number of defeated soldiers gathering in these two cities..."

Chen Lin said: "I am a kind person, and I can't bear to see a large number of people die by the sword. Let them starve to death this winter. Anyway, I won't see it."

"Moreover, the Jianzhou troops seem to be coming from that side."

Xing Jie was quite worried and hesitated: "Attack Yuanshan again? Yuanshan was only taken down not long ago. What if we suffer losses again this time... As the governor-general, I will be the first to be questioned."

"My suggestion is, why not strike while the iron is hot and attack Wangjing to the south, so that Pyongyang, Kaijing, and Wangjing can all be recovered? When the messengers return to the country to report, it will at least look good on the surface..."

"Face? What's the use of face? Can it be exchanged for victory? It looks good now, but if the result is ugly, you can't escape the fate of being thrown into prison!"

Chen Lin became sarcastic: "Wangjing was once the site of the Battle of Byeokjegwan. Even Li Rusong suffered a setback there. That place is not easy to attack! What if we fail to capture it and are counterattacked? What will we say then?"

"If the navy attacks Suwon Port and lands from the south, heading straight for Wangjing, that is also possible, but we will still face an important problem, that is, there are at least three dangerous cities on the road from Suwon to Wangjing: Yongin, Juksan, and Yeoju. What if we fail to capture Wangjing? The garrisons in these three cities will devour us all."

"Now they are fighting separately, and we are struggling to keep up. Therefore, the purpose of attacking Yuanshan City is to cut off their eastern garrison and force them to merge their forces into one place, so that it will be easier for us to fight and we won't be outflanked. Otherwise, we will have to send a large number of troops to defend in the direction of Gushan, because Yuanshan is to the east of Gushan. If Gushan falls, we will be pushed to the west, and the enemy can attack from the north, east, and south."

"We have a great advantage! Kato Kiyomasa is already dead, and Tachibana Muneshige is also dead. These two people who posed the greatest threat to us have been eliminated from the very beginning! Strike while the iron is hot and head straight for Yuanshan!"

Chen Lin's words were echoed by many people, and the old general Deng Zilong even said: "The navy is stationed in Haeju, with the purpose of deterrence. To deter other people's troops, you cannot take the initiative to attack. By staying in Haeju, they can restrain more enemies than they could by going on the offensive."

"Wangjing is the birthplace of the Korean nation's prestige. Once it falls, the Japanese army will know what the consequences will be, that is, their 'home field' will instantly turn into an 'away field'."

"Therefore, in order to prevent Wangjing from being raided by us, they must deploy heavy troops to guard it. And it seems that they should have learned about the news of the successive fall of two major cities and the appearance of the Ming Dynasty immortal. Next, the Japanese barbarian immortals should make their move."

"Therefore, next, we might as well attack in the east and strike in the west... On the surface, we will advance towards the Wangjing area, putting pressure on those people near Wangjing and preventing them from easily leaving their garrisoned areas. But our actual main force will attack Yuanshan City from Gushan."

Xing Jie was immediately excited: "Then, how many people should we send to capture Yuanshan?"

Deng Zilong and Chen Lin looked at each other and both burst out laughing.

"Only one person is needed!" After saying that, they all looked at Ji Xiang, who was looking at the map.

"Since we have immortal-level combat power, how can we not use it! What's more, even if we don't attack, the Arctic Perfected Lord is going to search for the whereabouts of those sorcerers anyway."

"In that case, why don't we go with the flow!"

Xing Jie was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became a little ugly: "You are not being absurd...! I mean, you are simply being too presumptuous! You have not faced those Japanese barbarian immortals! With our current strength, even with the new weapons you sent, it is impossible to defend such a long front line!"

Old Sword Immortal Wang and several other Wudang cultivators coughed lightly, indicating that they were still here. Although they were not in the Pure Yang realm, their Refine Spirit level was not weak either. At least they were in the second echelon of combat power below the immortal level. Don't ignore them so much.

"Don't worry, Governor-General."

Ji Xiang looked at the map and explained to Xing Jie, "Seven days ago, my attack on Tachibana Muneshige was not a chance encounter. It was something I decided after investigating. Ah, speaking of investigation, I just encountered a group of demons on the road, and after killing them all, I learned about it."

"What I did was just to tell those Japanese false immortals one thing - I am here. Don't go anywhere else."

Xing Jie was a little confused. Ji Xiang smiled coldly:

"Now, I can at least attract two or three false immortals here, right? The reason I killed Tachibana Muneshige with lightning speed was to show my strength. If I don't show overwhelming power, how will they come to stop me?"

"After all, they must attack the person who has the taunt effect."

Xing Jie: "?"

Ji Xiang: "It's okay if you don't understand. In short, that's how it is. Yuanshan City is now undefended for me. As for these false immortals who have gathered to kill me... assuming they have some kind of secret technique that allows them to know what is happening in Yuanshan City, and thus know that I am not here, then they will probably immediately launch a campaign to recapture Kaijing."

"And I will set up a large formation here and await their arrival. Don't worry, before I arrive at Yuanshan City, they will definitely believe that I am here, because..."

As Ji Xiang spoke, the shadow behind his body suddenly wriggled, and the Shadow God Right Emperor, with another Ji Xiang's face, appeared before everyone's eyes!

While everyone exclaimed in amazement, Ji Xiang was secretly thinking in his heart.

However, that group of false immortals may not be able to launch an attack. After all, that young samurai has been controlled by me with the Heart Demon Reversal Technique, and a shadow soldier is hidden within his shadow. He is now carrying sleeping pills, preparing to return to Wangjing and stage a good show of a Qi Refiner killing a Transcendent!
