Early November.

Li Yan received another message from the Left Route Army.

Not long ago, the Left Route Army fought a decisive battle with 100,000 samurai in the Ou region in Mutsu Province.

In that battle, the Left Route Army defeated the 100,000 samurai in the Ou region with advanced weapons and advanced tactics such as the Thunder Cart, the Unconscionable Cannon, the Thunder Boom, and the elite horse army—because of the lack of troops, the 40,000 or 50,000 samurai in the Okuwa region fled to Gyeonggi and Kanto.

The Left Route Army occupied several important areas of the Mutsu Kingdom one by one, and then reorganized the army while waiting for further orders from the Xuanfu Division.

At the end of October, the Seonfu Division made contact with the Left Route Army and ordered the Left Route Army to continue its southward attack on Gyeonggi.

The Left Route Army marched south on the orders of the Seonfu Division, but was met with resolute resistance from the samurai of Gyeonggi and the Kanto region.

The two sides have fought back and forth several times.

Because the Left Route Army was short of troops, and the samurai in Gyeonggi and the Kanto region did not engage in a general decisive battle, the two sides remained deadlocked.

On the side of the Right Army.

Because of the perimeter defense and the long gate that can be called the lock and key of the West Gate, the Western Route Army of the Right Route Army was blocked from the island and could not move forward.

The Eastern Route Army of the Right Route Army, on the other hand, was met with resolute resistance from the samurai and monks on the island of Shikoku, and was unable to land on the island.

It's okay -

The Right Army first took Kyushu Island and Dazaifu and established a stable rear for itself, otherwise, the Right Army would definitely be defeated due to the supply of grain and grass materials.

The battle has now entered a stalemate.

Under domestic political pressure, Emperor Shirakawa sent three waves of envoys to Seoul, claiming that he was willing to cede all of Zhoufang, Nagato, and the south of Shikoku Island to Shuibo Yangsan, and was willing to pay tribute, and was willing to send protons, and was willing to marry the same people forever.

For the Japanese side of the sum, there are two different voices in the interior of Shuipo Liangshan.

One is the voice that Shuibo Liangshan should be accepted when it is good, and the Japanese island of Kyushu has been obtained, and Shuibo Liangshan has one more big county, if you are not satisfied, you can also ask for Ezo and Okulu, so that there will be two more counties, there is no need to fight again, and Sakabe and other Japanese samurai have found out that the Japanese side has mobilized nearly a million samurai, monks and reserve soldiers, and is ready to fight a war in the country, which should not be underestimated.

The other is the voice that the Japanese aristocracy is extremely poor and luxurious, does not cultivate military equipment, although there are many troops, but the combat effectiveness is low, the Japanese people at the bottom suffer and are unhappy, the Japanese slave class is dark, Shuibo Liangshan has the basic conditions to occupy Japan, and more importantly, on the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly, so it is necessary to take advantage of this moment when the time, place and people are all right, and capture Japan in one fell swoop.

Regarding these two propositions, Li Yan is actually a little undecided.

At the beginning, when formulating a strategy to attack Japan, Li Yan's minimum strategic goal was actually to take Kyushu Island.

There is a world-class gold deposit in southern Kyushu with an average grade of 33 grams per tonne, with the highest grade reaching thousands to tens of thousands of grams per tonne.

This is the Ling Yi gold mine in Kagoshima, Kyushu, Japan.

With the continuous expansion of the territory, as the economy in the territory continues to improve, the gold and silver in Li Yan's hands are no longer enough, even if Li Yan has occupied dozens of large and small cities such as Liaoxijing, Liaonanjing, Liaodong, Goryeo Xijing, Taifeng Kaijing, etc., and has robbed Emperor Tianzuo to obtain the accumulation of hundreds of years of Liao.

Therefore, Li Yancai launched a war of aggression against Japan.

That's right.

It is a war of aggression.

As for revenge, for a mature politician, that is actually a very minor matter.

Today, Mizubo Liangshan has occupied Kyushu Island, and even Ezo Island and Ou area.

Ezo Island also has a lot of gold and silver reserves – the Konowu mine on it, which has reserves of at least 100 tons of gold, and a large gold field on the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk on the Horobetsu River and its tributaries.

Even in the Ou area, there are many gold and silver mines.

With these gold and silver mines, it is enough for the current use of Shuibo Liangshan.

Moreover, Li Yan was confident that through negotiations, Japan would recognize that the Ezo and Ou areas belonged to Shuibo Liangshan.

Stop now, Li Yan won 100% of the time.

And as long as he continues to fight again, no matter how much or less the probability is, Li Yan will inevitably not be able to maintain the current results, and there is even a possibility of defeat.

So, it's a very wise choice to stop now.

But Li Yan was ready to move on to destroy Japan.

You know, Japan has another name - Treasure Island.

Japan gets its name not only because of the large number of gold and silver mines in the Kyushu Island, Ezo and Ou areas, but also a large number of gold and silver mines in other parts of Japan, such as Sado Gold Mine, Ikuno Silver Mine, Iwami Silver Mine, etc., all of which are super large gold and silver mines.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Li Yan can defeat Japan and then vigorously mine gold and silver, even if Li Yan lays down the rich Song Kingdom in the future, there will be no shortage of gold and silver, and even Li Yan can abolish the gold and silver double standard system, implement a stable gold standard, popularize paper money, launch a monetary revolution, and make history take a big step forward.

In addition, Japan also has good land resources, the area around Lake Biwa, the Nobi Plain, and Ise Province are all areas with large grain production, and there are nearly 10 million people.

What's more, after experiencing being driven out of Yanyun, Li Yan deeply realized that his hometown was unstable, and he couldn't talk about hegemony and competition at all.

At present, the only unstable factor in Li Yan's hometown is Japan.

As long as Li Yan can conquer Japan, and then hoard heavy troops in the northwest, then Li Yan's hometown will be impregnable.

At that time, if the Central Plains region has a chance, Li Yan can enter the Central Plains and ascend the throne as the emperor, the Central Plains has no chance, and Li Yan, who owns the Korean Peninsula, the whole of Japan, Taiwan Island, the Jiaodong Peninsula, the Liaodong Peninsula, Hainan Island, Jeju Island, Huating County, and Dongguan County, can also be called emperor.

Just when Li Yan was hesitating, Yue Fei on the front line suddenly gave Li Yan three twists in a row, asking Li Yan not to stop the battle, and said that he had found a way to overcome the Japanese defense line, and on his last twist, Yue Fei even asked to come back and make a statement to Li Yan in person.

Considering that the front line is currently in a stalemate stage, and that there are Xu Guanzhong, Liu Qi, Zhu Wu and others in charge, Li Yan agreed to Yue Fei's request to make a statement in person.

Four days later, Yue Fei returned to Seoul and came to meet Li Yan in person.

Yue Fei didn't come alone, he also brought Bai Valhan, the squire of the Ministry of Works.

And Yue Fei and Bai Valhan didn't come empty-handed—they also brought a secret weapon for Li Yan.

After seeing the secret weapon brought by Yue Fei and Bai Valhan, and confirming the practicality of this secret weapon, Li Yan immediately decided: continue to attack Japan, and it is bound to destroy its country!
