Chapter 592: Arrival at Yingzhou Island
"As commanded!"
As the words of the man and the dragon fell, everyone walked toward the Space Gate.
After Ao Huang and the ten Tributes successfully crossed over, the soldiers of the Shenwu Legion also began crossing over in an orderly manner.
……
Meanwhile, within the Sui-Tang World.
On Yingzhou Island, at an uninhabited seaside, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and immediately after, a Space Gate flew out from it.
After landing, it had grown to over ten zhang in size, and then the figures of the Han Empire's Zhenguo Divine Beast Ao Huang, Zhang Sanfeng, and the others emerged from it one after another.
After their figures appeared, they quickly spread out and set up a perimeter guard.
Soon, an endless stream of Shenwu Army soldiers emerged from the Space Gate.
Half an hour later, two hundred thousand troops had fully assembled, their gazes sharp, their entire bodies radiating an intense aura of killing intent.
"Lu General, first find a place to settle the Army, and then our primary task is to scout out clear information about this place before making plans."
After everyone assembled, Guo Jia surveyed the surroundings and spoke solemnly to Lü Bu.
"Good, we'll do as the Military Advisor says."
Hearing this, Lü Bu nodded in rather approving agreement, then said to Gao Shun:
"Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, the four of you, go find a suitable place to set up camp."
Hearing this, Gao Shun and the other three Grand Generals of the Shenwu Legion standing behind Lü Bu all clasped their fists toward Lü Bu and responded in loud voices:
"Your subordinate accepts the order!"
Subsequently, the four of them shot into the sky and flew rapidly toward the distance.
With Gao Shun and the other four at Martial Ancestor Realm Eighth or Ninth Heaven cultivation, the terrain within a radius of a thousand li was scouted clear in less than half an hour.
Very soon, a suitable site for the Army to set up camp was found.
……
Nighttime.
In the Sui-Tang World, within a concealed Valley on Yingzhou Island, the two hundred thousand troops of the Shenwu Legion were currently stationed.
Inside the central command tent, the figures of the Shenwu Legion's high-ranking generals, the ten Tributes of the Tribute Dian, and the Han Empire's Zhenguo Divine Beast Ao Huang were prominently present.
"Gentlemen, according to the intelligence gathered by General Song Xian during the day, this place is Yingzhou Island of the Sui-Tang World."
"And at this time, Yingzhou Island's timeline corresponds to roughly six or seven hundred years after our Han Dynasty. The primary inhabitants of Yingzhou Island are the people of the Japanese nation."
"As for our Han Dynasty's attitude toward the Japanese nation, I trust you are all well aware, so This Official will say no more."
At this moment, Guo Jia, as the Grand Military Strategist, was analyzing the intelligence gathered so far.
"However, the Japanese nation of this world is still rather weak. Right now, there are only a dozen or so Cities on Yingzhou Island, with a total population of less than a Million-Strong Legion."
"There are also no Martial Dao experts to speak of. Although there are some Warriors, their cultivation levels are not very high."
"General Song Xian, the strongest person found in the Japanese nation's Imperial Capital was only at Martial Sect Sixth Heaven."
"Therefore, I believe we should first seize Yingzhou Island, and then expand step by step toward the Sui Kingdom."
Hearing Guo Jia's analysis, everyone nodded continuously. After Guo Jia finished speaking, Lü Bu immediately said to him:
"Military Advisor, you arrange how to fight this battle as you see fit. Wherever you say to attack, I will attack."
Hearing Lü Bu's words, everyone was somewhat speechless.
Meanwhile, off to the side, Ao Huang, whose body had shrunk to only about a zhang in size, also chimed in.
"You all fight boldly. If you encounter the opponent's Martial Emperor Realm experts, This Seat will handle them personally."
Seeing this, Guo Jia shook his head helplessly. He had really spoken too much—asking for these people's opinions was clearly redundant.
"Since that's the case, let us rest for tonight. Tomorrow at the hour of Chen, the Army will split into three routes and conquer Yingzhou Island."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions sharpened, and they responded loudly with solemn faces:
"Yes!"
Then, Guo Jia smiled and said to Lü Bu:
"Lu General, my intention is for General Gao Shun and General Song Xian to lead Fifty Thousand Troops, departing from the left flank, straight for the Japanese nation's Imperial Capital."
"General Wei Xu and General Hou Cheng will lead Fifty Thousand Troops, departing from the right flank, straight for the Japanese nation's Imperial Capital."
"As for the remaining hundred thousand troops, Lu General, you will lead them, and we will go straight for the Japanese nation's Imperial Capital."
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he smiled and swept his gaze over everyone.
"We'll do as you say, Military Advisor. We'll split into three routes and occupy the Japanese nation first."
Hearing Guo Jia's arrangements, Lü Bu immediately responded without hesitation.
Seeing this, Guo Jia nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he turned his gaze toward Zhang Sanfeng beside him, cupped his hands, and said with a smile:
"Zhang Palace Master, you will accompany me and Lu General. I imagine this small Japanese nation won't require your Tribute Dian to take action!"
Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng also revealed a smile and said to Guo Jia:
"This poor Daoist will follow all of the Military Advisor's arrangements."
……
The next day, the two hundred thousand Shenwu Army troops split into three routes, all heading toward the Japanese nation's Imperial Capital.
And the situation of the Japanese nation was exactly as Guo Jia had predicted.
Everyone spent only Five Days before arriving beneath the Japanese nation's Imperial Capital, Pingjing City.
By this time, the Japanese nation was already enveloped in immense fear. They never imagined that in just Five Days, the enemy would have fought their way into the national capital.
Most importantly, even now, they still did not know who the other side was.
"Can someone tell This Emperor why the enemy has fought their way to the national capital in Five Days?"
"You pack of stupid pigs, you still don't even know who the enemy is!"
At this moment, the Emperor of Woguo was loudly berating the officials below him.
In his eyes, a trace of fear was also showing.
He knew that if this was not handled well this time, their Woguo might well face the crisis of national extinction.
The enemy's strength was far beyond what their Woguo could contend with.
And the assembled Woguo officials, facing the furious Emperor, all knelt on the ground, not even daring to breathe heavily.
"Report—"
Just then, the soldier who came to deliver the message rushed into the palace hall without waiting for the Emperor's permission.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the enemy army has already begun attacking the city. The enemy's strength is far too great. Our Great Woguo soldiers have already suffered countless casualties. We beg Your Majesty to make preparations early!"
Hearing the soldier's words, the Emperor immediately collapsed onto the throne in fright, his face filled with terror.
And the assembled Woguo officials were also instantly enveloped by fear, all frightened so pale that their faces turned white.
"Someone come quickly! Protect Dian and Your Ministers as we evacuate the capital through the secret passage. As long as Dian still lives, our Great Woguo has not perished!"
Suddenly, the Emperor of Woguo stood up and roared loudly at everyone.
"Yes, yes, yes, quickly protect His Majesty and evacuate!"
Hearing the Emperor's words, everyone also reacted and led the Emperor toward the long-prepared secret passage to evacuate.
At this moment, they had long since abandoned the soldiers defending the city, thinking only of their own escape.
As for those soldiers, being able to serve their country with loyalty was their glory.
