Although we suffered heavy losses in the battle against Tuyuhun, at least we were victorious.

As a result, Yang Guangda openly stated that he did not want the captured city and land, and would withdraw his troops without hesitation.

As soon as the Sui army withdrew, Tuyuhun regained its old territory, and the bandits raided Hexi...

Expedition to Linyi and Khitan, the deceased 14th Five-Year Plan, won in the end, but the result was still the same, they did not establish effective rule, nor did they include the captured land into the territory, and they withdrew their troops!

I don’t want your land, nor will I establish a pro-Sui regime. I am just willful, just playing, and just want to prove that I, the Sui Emperor, am awesome...

The same goes for playing Ryukyu.

What's the point of this?

Too embarrassed about Qian Duo?

Luo Youdu's eyes were burning and he said: "So, there is no room for relaxation in Ryukyu?"

Fu Zhaoxin said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to change their attitude in the short term."

Luo Youdu pondered for a moment and said: "How is the opponent's strength?"

Fu Zhaoxin thought for a while and said: "Two thousand, no, one thousand Tianxiong troops can capture Ryukyu."

It’s not that Fu Zhaoxin is looking down on Ryukyu. The Ryukyu Islands have not yet established their own civilization.

They lived on the sea and had no ability to go to sea. That is to say, the Sui Dynasty and the Japanese had certain contacts with them.

Their iron smelting is immature. A group of barbarians wearing furs and holding inferior weapons are facing off against soldiers wearing iron armor?

Not on the same level at all...

Luo Youdu laughed secretly when he heard this, and immediately said: "When I go back, I will find an excuse to capture the Ryukyu Islands. We must fight quickly to prevent the Japanese country in the north from discovering us."

A flash of enlightenment flashed in Fu Zhaoxin's eyes, and he finally understood why his lord was obsessed with Ryukyu, a place where dogs don't poop and birds don't lay eggs, and even asked him to send people to search for it.

It turned out to be to deal with the Japanese country.

As Fu Zhaoxin said, Luo Youdu coveted the Ryukyu Islands. Although the Ryukyu Islands have a special geographical location and are known as unstoppable aircraft carriers, there is a saying that before the outbreak of maritime navigation, the real significance of Ryukyu was not great.

The main purpose is to use Ryukyu as a stepping stone to attack Japanese islands.

The Japanese and Khitan jointly attacked Goryeo and made great progress.

The Japanese state has captured more than a dozen states including Jinju, Naju, Shaanju, Shengzhou, Andong, and Jinju, and has captured one-third of the land in southern Goryeo.

As for the Khitans, they also captured Pyongyang and advanced all the way to Gaijing, the capital of Goryeo.

Goryeo is about to be destroyed...

In response to this situation, Luo Youdu was already preparing to send a letter to the Japanese state, ordering them to retreat in the name of the Kingdom of Heaven and asking them to return all the land they had invaded and occupied Goryeo.

Even if you think about it with your buttocks, you know that the Japanese country will not agree. How can there be any reason to spit out what you eat in your mouth?

Of course Luo Youdu didn't expect them to agree.

Fu Zhaoxin said: "Your Majesty, what should I do in Yizhou?"

Luo Youdu said: "Yizhou is not in a hurry. First understand the environment and water conditions of the strait. After becoming familiar with it, first choose a place to settle and develop, establish contact with the indigenous people, and let them come down the mountain to live with us. Once we have established a firm foothold, we can then expand our power

The scope is expanded to the entire island.”

Yizhou is still a barren land. It will be beneficial in the long run, but there will be no benefit at all in the short term.

Luo Youdu was not in a hurry to take action. If he was unlucky and rashly sent troops without understanding the dangers of the strait, it would be the same as the Yuan Dynasty's conquest of the Japanese country. Then he would see a ghost.

If you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, here’s a step-by-step guide.

Take the Ryukyu Islands first, then talk about other things.
