Chapter 246: Meeting in Xiangyang

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Li Mochou and Lü Wende looked at each other.

Lü Wende then said to Lü Bu and the three others:

"Then let this humble general tell the two generals and the military advisor about Xiangyang City and the court forces in this world!"

"This world is composed of countries such as Southern Song, Mongolia, Dali, Western Xia, and Tubo."

"Beyond the East Sea, there are also some island countries like Woguo."

"As for whether there are other countries in other places, this humble general does not know."

"Currently, the most powerful country is Mongolia. Their Khan is Möngke, the son of Temüjin."

"Next is our Southern Song, while countries like Dali, Western Xia, and Tubo are already on the verge of being destroyed under Mongolia's aggression."

"Therefore, our true opponents are only the two countries of Mongolia and Southern Song."

"And the Southern Song court values civil officials over martial ones, and there are treacherous officials in power. In recent years, foreign wars have mainly consisted of ceding territory and paying indemnities."

Subsequently, Lü Wende introduced in detail the situation of the national forces he knew to Lü Bu and the three others.

"Since General Lü has introduced the national forces to the three adults, then I will tell you about the situation in the Jianghu."

Li Mochou said solemnly to Lü Bu and the three others after Lü Wende finished speaking.

"In the Southern Song Jianghu, the strongest are the Five Absolutes. All five of them are powerhouses above the Innate realm."

"These five are respectively Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi, Western Poison Ouyang Feng, Southern Emperor Yideng, Northern Beggar Hong Qi, and Central Divine Zhou Botong."

"However, among them, there is another person whose strength is also in the Innate realm, and that is Guo Jing, the son-in-law of Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi and disciple of Northern Beggar Hong Qi."

"The strength of these six people is all above the Innate Second Heaven."

"And in the Jianghu, there are some sect forces that cannot be underestimated."

"The more famous ones include Shaolin Temple, Quanzhen Sect, Beggar Sect, Peach Blossom Island, Western Regions Tantric Sect, and other Jianghu forces."

"Among these Jianghu gangs, Peach Blossom Island was founded by Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi."

"Shaolin Temple has always been the North Star of the world's martial arts, with the saying that 'all martial arts under heaven originate from Shaolin'."

"Quanzhen Sect was founded by Wang Zhongyang, one of the Five Absolutes of that year. The current Central Divine Zhou Botong is Wang Zhongyang's junior fellow apprentice."

"As for Western Poison Ouyang Feng, he is currently in a state of madness, and the Western Regions White Camel Manor he founded has also existed in name only."

"And Southern Emperor Yideng was originally the Emperor of Dali, but he has now abdicated and is in a state of seclusion."

"Northern Beggar Hong Qi is the former leader of the Beggar Sect, the number one gang in the world."

"As for Guo Jing, he is currently living in seclusion on Peach Blossom Island with his wife, Beggar Sect leader Huang Rong."

After listening to the introduction by Li Mochou and Lü Wende, Guo Jia said to them:

"According to what you two said, these Jianghu people currently have little impact on our plan."

"We should still focus on conquering the countries of this world."

"As for those Jianghu forces, as long as they don't oppose our Great Han, we can ignore them for now."

"After we conquer these countries, we will deal with these Jianghu people."

"Moreover, there are not many Innate powerhouses in this world, and their strongest are only at the Innate Third Heaven realm."

"Currently, including Li Tribute, we already have four Innate powerhouses. General Lü is even at the Innate Fourth Heaven realm, and General Zhao and I also have the strength of the Innate Third Heaven."

"These Innate powerhouses of the Jianghu forces cannot gather together to attack us. As long as they dare to come, we can defeat them one by one."

Guo Jia said to Lü Bu, Zhao Yun, and the others with a wise expression.

"The Military Advisor's words are reasonable. Then let us solve the countries of this world first."

Hearing this, Lü Bu and Zhao Yun nodded in agreement.

"Since the two generals have no objections, let us conquer the Southern Song first."

"This Southern Song, as a Han court, has actually governed the country like this. It is truly a disgrace to our Han sons."

"Since the Southern Song court does not have this strength, then let our Great Han protect the descendants of Huaxia!"

Guo Jia's tone was full of disdain for the Southern Song court.

"The Military Advisor is absolutely right. Our vast descendants of Huaxia have actually been bullied by aliens like this."

"This Southern Song court is truly weak and incompetent!"

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Lü Bu also mocked with disdain.

"Since that is the case, then I will trouble the Military Advisor to make arrangements. This general will just focus on the fighting!"

On the side, Zhao Yun, with a smile on his heroic face, teased Guo Jia.

"Hahaha, General Zilong is joking."

For a time, everyone chatted quite happily.

"Since His Majesty has named the three of us as the vanguard army, we must handle this matter beautifully."

"Therefore, I think General Fengxian should lead the 100,000 Shenwu troops under his command, and General Zilong, I will trouble you to lead the 150,000 Xiangyang troops."

"Li Tribute and General Lü Wende, I will trouble you two to work with this official to receive the cities conquered by the two generals and be responsible for the resettlement work in the cities."

The four people stood up and cupped their hands to Guo Jia:

"Obey the order."

Subsequently, everyone rested in the camp for a night.

Early the next morning, the 100,000 Shenwu troops began to head toward Xiangyang City.

"Truly a tiger-wolf army!"

Seeing the Shenwu Army before him, Lü Wende couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that this general has truly turned a misfortune into a blessing this time, actually joining such a powerful country."

Before long, everyone led the 100,000 Shenwu troops into Xiangyang City.

Before setting off, Li Mochou had already notified Hong Lingbo, who was in Xiangyang City.

Therefore, the army entered Xiangyang City without any obstruction.

"Military Advisor, you should keep 50,000 of these 150,000 Xiangyang troops."

"This Xiangyang City also needs personnel to guard it, and the cities conquered in the future will need even more large armies to guard them."

After arriving at the Xiangyang City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Yun said to Guo Jia.

Hearing this, Guo Jia pondered for a moment, thinking that there would be many places to use people later.

Moreover, the loyalty of the newly recruited personnel was not high, so he readily agreed.

"Very well, let it be as General Zilong says."

Subsequently, Guo Jia said to Lü Bu and Zhao Yun:

"Since that is the case, then the two generals will set off tomorrow. General Fengxian will be responsible for the areas north of the Yangtze River, attacking all the way to the Southern Song capital, Lin'an."

"And General Zilong will lead the 100,000 Xiangyang troops and be responsible for the areas south of the Yangtze River."

Hearing this, Lü Bu and Zhao Yun had no objections.

"Since that is the case, then it is decided. I will go first to change all of Xiangyang's policies to implement our Great Han's national policies."

Seeing that neither of them had any objections, Guo Jia said to them with a smile.

"Haha, let the Military Advisor handle these matters; Zilong and I are not familiar with them."

Lü Bu laughed loudly at Guo Jia. ===== CHAPTER 247 =====
