Chapter 593: Target: Ryukyu Island

However, everything they did was in vain.

Before they could even open the secret passage, Lü Bu had already led the Shenwu Army soldiers and stormed into the Woguo Imperial Palace.

The Woguo Emperor and the others had not even finished packing their belongings before they were captured by the Shenwu Army soldiers.

The entire Woguo, in the face of the powerful Shenwu Legion, had no power to resist whatsoever.

And the few Woguo Martial Ancestor realm warriors were also beheaded by Lü Bu and the others.

One hour later, Pingjing City was already under the control of Lü Bu and the others.

"General, all the Woguo people in the city have been brought under our army's control, but there are quite a lot of people in this Pingjing City. I do not know how these Woguo people should be dealt with?"

Inside the Woguo Imperial Palace, which had now been completely occupied by the Shenwu Army, a group of Great Han generals were all gathered within.

At this moment, Gao Shun, having finished handling the affairs in the city, walked into the grand hall and spoke respectfully to Lü Bu.

"Oh, how many Woguo people are there in this Pingjing City now?"

Hearing Gao Shun's words, Lü Bu asked him.

"At the very least, there are still three to four hundred thousand people."

Hearing that there were so many people, Lü Bu immediately felt a headache. In these past few days, apart from those Woguo people who died in battle, Lü Bu and his men had not slaughtered the Woguo civilians.

Therefore, there were at least seven to eight hundred thousand Woguo people remaining.

With so many Woguo people, it was not good to kill them, yet keeping them was a disaster; it was truly difficult to handle.

"Military Advisor, how do you think these Woguo people should be dealt with?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia also felt a bit of a headache. If all these Woguo were to be beheaded, it would inevitably be somewhat harmful to the harmony of heaven.

But if they were kept, a large army would have to be left behind to guard them, and what they currently lacked most was people.

After all, this was not the Great Han Main Realm; any place they conquered required people to garrison it.

After pondering for a while, Guo Jia looked up at Lü Bu and said coldly:

"How about this: gather all these Woguo people together, and then arrange for an army of ten thousand to guard them."

"Distribute food to them so they can build cities and cultivate the land for us."

"If there are any who resist, kill them to warn the others. Woguo people have an innate servility in their bones; as long as we are stronger than them, they will not dare to resist."

Hearing Guo Jia's words, the crowd nodded in agreement.

"Since that is the case, handle it according to what the Military Advisor said!"

"Hou Cheng, this matter is handed over to you to arrange. Remember, you must not harbor any mercy toward these Woguo people."

Immediately, Lü Bu said to the Shenwu Legion general Hou Cheng with a serious face.

Hearing this, Hou Cheng nodded solemnly and replied to Lü Bu with a grave expression:

"Please rest assured, General, this subordinate will go and arrange it now."

After Hou Cheng finished speaking, he turned and left the grand hall.

"As for these Woguo royal family members and those ministers, there is no need to keep them, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to His Majesty."

After resolving the matter of the Woguo commoners, Lü Bu said to the crowd with a solemn face.

"The General is absolutely right. We only need to keep the Woguo commoners; these royal family members and those ministers truly cannot be kept."

"Indeed! Indeed!"

Following the discussion of the few, the disposal of the Woguo people was all decided.

And Yingzhou Island also fell entirely into the control of Lü Bu and the others.

"Military Advisor, Yingzhou Island has been taken by us, what should we do next?"

After resolving the matter, Lü Bu turned his gaze to Guo Jia, who was sitting to the side, and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, I have already considered this matter."

Hearing Lü Bu's inquiry, Guo Jia smiled confidently, then took out a map and opened it in front of everyone.

This map was exactly the Sui-Tang World map that Liu Bian had exchanged from the system.

"We are currently on Yingzhou Island, and the closest place to Yingzhou Island is Goguryeo, followed by the Sui Kingdom's Ryukyu Island."

"According to His Majesty, the greatest power in this realm is the Sui Kingdom, and the purpose of our trip is to change the world process of this realm as much as possible."

"And if we want to maximize the change in the process of this realm, we must start with the Sui Kingdom."

"Destroying those countries outside the Sui Kingdom might change the world process, but that little change is far from enough for us."

"Therefore, our goal must still be placed on the Sui Kingdom. As long as we change the world process as much as possible, we can continuously mobilize troops from the Main Realm."

"And with the support of the Main Realm, we can confront the Sui Kingdom head-on."

At this moment, Guo Jia was pointing at the map while speaking eloquently to Lü Bu and the others.

Hearing Guo Jia's words, the crowd nodded continuously, feeling a sense of sudden enlightenment.

"And Ryukyu Island is located on the sea area southeast of the Sui Kingdom, nearly a thousand miles away from the Sui Kingdom."

"If we occupy Ryukyu Island, even if the Sui Kingdom receives the news, it will be difficult for them to provide support."

"And if I am not mistaken, after we occupy Ryukyu Island, we should be able to dispatch another batch of people from the Main Realm."

"After we gain a firm foothold on Ryukyu Island, we can use our powerful navy as the main force to head west, storm into the heartland of the Sui Kingdom, and gradually erode the territory of the Sui Kingdom."

"At the same time, we can also dispatch personnel to go to the Sui Kingdom to secretly sow discord between the Sui royal family and those Jianghu forces and aristocratic clans."

"As long as the Sui Kingdom falls into internal chaos, it will be the opportunity for our Great Han to destroy the Sui Kingdom in one fell swoop!"

After Guo Jia finished speaking, his face was full of confidence, as if everything was under his control.

And Lü Bu and the others, after listening to Guo Jia's analysis, all had bright lights in their eyes.

Even these martial generals, after hearing Guo Jia's strategy, felt that this matter was very promising.

And Guo Jia was right; as long as they could take Ryukyu Island, there was a high probability that they could dispatch another batch of people from the Main Realm.

And considering the Yingzhou Island and Ryukyu Island they occupied, it was most appropriate to dispatch the navy.

At that time, with the help of the navy and the geographical location of Ryukyu Island, it could truly be said that they could advance to attack and retreat to defend.

After the crowd understood, they all looked at Guo Jia with admiration.

"Since that is the case, then let us proceed as the Military Advisor has said; this General will immediately go to organize the grand army."

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Lü Bu stood up immediately and said to the crowd.

"Also, Yingzhou Island is at least five or six hundred miles away from Ryukyu Island."

"For an army of two hundred thousand to cross, we need warships, and we did not bring warships on this trip."

"Therefore, we can only use the warships of the Woguo army. Although those warships cannot compare to our navy,"

"it will suffice to transport our soldiers to Ryukyu Island."

Seeing that Lü Bu was about to leave, Guo Jia hurriedly reminded him. ===== CHAPTER 594 =====
