Liu Yu frowned: "So, what Goguryeo actually wants us to deal with is not the Baekje army, but the Japanese army?"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Yes, although Baekje's army is brave, it was developed from the Samhan tribe after all, and it lacks a large number of war horses. There are not many iron armor and steel swords. If it were just the Baekje army, then Goguryeo
They might have been wiped out decades ago."
"But the Japanese army is different. The Japanese country has basically completed the unification of the big island. It is very different from the time more than a hundred years ago when Queen Himihu of the Yamatai Kingdom first sent an envoy to visit Cao Wei. At that time, they were just one
It’s just a tribe that occupies half of a big island, but now it’s almost half the size of the Jin Dynasty. It’s not the small country we imagined.”
Liu Yu secretly cursed in his heart, the little Japanese devils have begun to jump out and harm people in this era. In the education he received in later generations, the kind of Japanese *** who invaded China in later generations and caused irreparable and painful harm to the people of the country.
, The hatred for them has long been engraved in the bone marrow, and limited by the education he received at that time, Liu Yu had no idea that as early as this era, Japan's predecessor, the Japanese country, had already begun its foreign aggression and expansion.
Wouldn't it just give yourself a great opportunity for revenge?
Liu Yu thought of this, suppressed the impulse and anger in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "Fat man, tell me, what is so special about this Japanese country? Even if there is a place as big as Yangzhou and Jingzhou, but those places
The land should be vast and sparsely populated, and the social level should be at the level of primitive tribes. Can it really be compared with the soldiers and horses of our Jin Dynasty, or a small power like Baekje, which has been fighting for hundreds of years?"
Liu Muzhi breathed a sigh of relief, cleared his throat, and said: "This Japanese country has a long history. It is more than two thousand miles northeast of the mouth of the Yangzhou River in our Jin Dynasty, Daifang County on the Korean Peninsula.
There are four large islands in the sea in the southeast, one of which is particularly large, about the size of the entire Yangzhou, and this is what we call the Japanese country."
Liu Yu frowned: "Then these Japanese are the real island barbarians, right? Where did they come from?"
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips and said: "According to the Japanese envoy himself, they are the descendants of China after Shaokang, the lord of Xia. They belong to a branch of the Yue people. They were later led by Uncle Wu of the Zhou Dynasty and were the people of Wu and Yue.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Yue was destroyed one after another. One of their survivors went eastward to the sea and landed on the big island. Their leader, who named himself Emperor Jimmu, began a conquest of the tribes on the island that lasted for hundreds of years. If
What they say is true. It is probably similar to the situation of the Xiongnu. It was Xia Jie's youngest son who ran to the grasslands to establish a country."
Liu Yu nodded: "It's possible. I heard that the Japanese people also wear tattoos on their hair and buns, so that they can fish in the water. The tattoos are mainly to scare dragons and other ferocious beasts in the water. This is in line with the customs in our Wuyue area.
It's very similar, but they probably never learned the benevolence and righteousness of our Zhou Li Confucianism, and only brought over the barbaric cruelty of the weak and the strong."
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "Yes, this is very similar to the Huns. In such a barbaric land, there is no courtesy, justice and shame. Everything is fought for survival. Naturally, strength is the best. According to the Japanese envoy himself
It is said that during the Cao Wei period, there were more than a hundred countries, or more than a hundred tribes, on the big island. However, more than a hundred years later, during the period of Emperor Xiaowu, the Japanese envoys who came to pay tribute to the Jin Dynasty said that there were more than a hundred countries on the big island.
There are only more than thirty countries left, so it can be seen that they have annexed many tribes and expanded many places, and the Japanese rulers call themselves generals to conquer the barbarians, which also proves that they have been fighting."
Liu Yu frowned: "If they are the descendants of Wu and Yue, they are indeed fierce and fast. We know this best. Even in the Central Plains in the era of great strife, Wu and Yue were the strongest soldiers in the world. They once almost defeated Chu.
The country was destroyed, and later it was mainly due to civil strife. If these people landed in that closed island country, it would be a thousand-year head start on the local tribes. I actually feel that they have not occupied it for hundreds of years.
It’s a strange thing to cover the entire big island.”
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Military victory is always the easiest thing, but digesting and controlling it after the war is really difficult. Let alone conquering foreign countries, even if we recover Qingzhou, we will have to do it in the future.
No matter how you manage it, it is a headache. Crossing the sea to the Japanese country is very stormy. I am afraid that even if they are survivors of Wu Yue's subjugation, after landing on the island, they will only have thousands or even hundreds of people. With this small number of people, they can conquer countless people.
It is not an easy task to build a large island with hundreds of tribes and hundreds of thousands of households."
Liu Yu nodded: "So, you want to say that the Japanese country is not small, has a large population, and has the fighting and technical level of Wu and Yue. Let alone unify the big island, even if it fights against Goguryeo, it is not a problem."
?”
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Yes, although the Japanese kings have not yet completed the complete rule of Da Dao, I am afraid that they have already reached the general trend. They imitated the dynasties of the Central Plains and also opened a court, set up hundreds of officials, and called themselves a dynasty. The weapons they used
, there are many iron swords, iron spear points and iron arrowheads, which shows that the level of its military technology is not backward. The biggest reason for sending troops to the Korean Peninsula is to try to obtain the iron tools provided by Baekje."

Liu Yu frowned: "The Japanese are fierce. If they are armed with a large number of iron weapons, not only can they make iron swords and iron swords, but they can also make armored stomachs. Once they have the protection of iron armor, their combat effectiveness will be great."
It will increase exponentially.”
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, as far as I know, on the Korean Peninsula, whether it is Baekje or Silla, there are not many armored body guards. Although there are some iron weapons, most of them are leather armor or cloth.
Because Goguryeo was in the north, there were more leather armors, but few iron armors. Therefore, the Japanese's iron knives and iron arrows were extremely lethal to them. In close combat, they were even more ferocious and difficult to control. Goguryeo's strengths were
There are chariots, bows and arrows, and a small number of cavalry, but if they are against the Japanese army and let them enter the battle as skirmishers, it will be a one-sided defeat. Think about how the demon thieves of Tianshi Dao fought.
You can guess how the Japanese army fought."
Liu Yu laughed: "The demon thief has a fine steel sword, which cuts iron like mud. Even the fine steel mail armor of our Beifu sergeants can't stop its stabbing. The Japanese probably don't have the technology to forge fine steel, but iron
If you use swords and iron armor to fight soldiers without armor or wearing leather armor, it's like cutting melons and vegetables. In this way, Goguryeo wants us to help them deal with the Japanese army, and this plan is quite clever."
