    When he first sent Taishi Ci and Yu Jin to attack the Goryeo Peninsula, Lu Bu was always worried about defeat. You know, in history, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty mobilized the entire country to attack Goryeo three times but failed miserably. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty attacked Goryeo twice, although he was victorious.  The roots of Goguryeo were not harmed, and it was only during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty that the generals Li Ji and Xue Rengui pacified Goguryeo.

    When planning how to attack the Goguryeo Peninsula, Emperor Sui Yang's three attacks on Goguryeo and Tang Taizong's two attacks on Goguryeo became the negative military teaching materials that Lu Bu studied. The only positive teaching material was the one where Li Ji and Xue Rengui defeated Goguryeo during the Li Zhi period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.  on, but it can only be regarded as a reference, because two-thirds of Goguryeo's territory was in the three northeastern provinces of later generations, unlike Baekje and Samhan, whose entire territory was in the later Goryeo Peninsula.

    First of all, we must ensure good logistics support. There can be no problems with the transportation of military rations. This is the key to preventing failure. Therefore, he asked Gao Shun, who was loyal to him, to supervise the food and grass in the rear. This was also a lesson from Yang Guangfang's unreliable Yang Xiaogan, who was the supervised in the rear.  Lessons from food and grass.

    Secondly, we must fully learn from Yang Guang's lessons and not be too conservative in frontline command, allowing the generals below to act according to the situation and adapt to changes.  You cannot make all decisions by yourself alone, as this will lead to inflexible operations and the inability to seize combat opportunities.  Yang Guang was a half-hearted military man. He had an army of millions but was unable to take advantage of his strength. He basically did not adopt any effective strategic and tactical means and basically knew nothing about Goryeo.  The enemy has repeatedly falsely surrendered, but he has been fooled repeatedly. He does not know the enemy, does not know how to separate and combine, and does not know the true and false. It is strange that such a person is undefeated as a commander.

    Although Lu Bu cannot be said to be a war genius, his military attainments and military experience far exceed that of any current enemy commander. Any military operations of the enemy are under his control, and he knows himself and the enemy.  Fight a hundred battles without danger.

    The reason why it was so difficult to attack Goryeo during the Sui and Tang Dynasties was that Goryeo at that time was a country established by annexing most countries such as Samhan and Buyeo at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Its national power was more than ten times stronger than that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Goguryeo was only in Northeast Asia.  It was only the largest among the many small countries in the region. It was incomparable to Goguryeo hundreds of years later. However, it was the strongest country in the Northeast at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, in history, Cao Wei's second-rate general Mu Qiu Tuo led more than 10,000 people.  He defeated Goguryeo to a pulp and almost destroyed Goguryeo twice. The super-first-class commander Lu Bu pacified the Northeast region with overwhelming force.  There is nothing wrong with that.

    In fact, it is a matter of employment. Some generals who can stand alone should try their best to use their talents.  There were many generals in the Sui and Tang Dynasties who were well-known and experienced in wars. Unfortunately, they ultimately failed to achieve anything under the control of the supreme commander. The failure of the personal expeditions of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was ultimately related to the fact that their personal expeditions took care of everything.

    Lu Bu gave full play to the talents of Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci, and Yu Jin.  Guo Jia and Chen Gong's staff were asked to deduce the battle situation, arrange troops and issue orders. During most of the war, Lu Bu let his military generals do their work. He only made judgments at critical moments.

    There are two reasons why Goguryeo was repeatedly attacked during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. One was that there was no good investigation, no detailed comprehensive map and regional map, and they were not familiar with the terrain.  It was a blind man riding a blind horse, and secondly, he did not send anyone to sneak into Goguryeo to destroy it. As a result, Gaisu, the powerful minister of Goguryeo, wiped out all political opponents in one fell swoop and took full control of Goguryeo's military and government. The united Goguryeo was naturally difficult to defeat.  But this time and that time.  Lu Bu attaches great importance to military intelligence collection. He has placed intelligence agents among the hostile forces in the Northeast ten years ago. He knows Goguryeo, Baekje, Buyeo, and Samhan even better than the kings of these countries.  All the slightly capable people in the country were assassinated.  Now it will be easy to conquer these countries.

    Lu Bu's painstaking efforts finally paid off, and the Chinese Empire's army was in ruins.  Quickly defeat all hostile forces in Northeast Asia.

    What Lu Bu is thinking about most now is how to rule Goryeo in a long-term and stable manner, so that it can become a Chinese territory and no longer a colony that will cause riots in the future, let alone a vassal state that wastes China's national power.

    Historically, the Tang Dynasty briefly occupied Goryeo, captured the capital Pyongyang, and captured King Gaozang.  The Kingdom of Goguryeo died seven hundred and five years after its founding, and the Three Kingdoms era on the Goryeo Peninsula ended.  Three-quarters of the land of the Goryeo Peninsula belonged to China, and the Silla Kingdom was confined to a quarter of the land in the southeastern corner of the peninsula.  However, the Tang Dynasty only lasted nine years. Silla was deeply dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty's annexation of so much land, and secretly launched a civil uprising to isolate Pyongyang. The Tang army could not support it, so it had to retreat and move the Andong Governor's Mansion in Pyongyang.  In Liaodong, the Silla Kingdom unified the central and southern parts of the Korean Peninsula and became a neighbor of the Tang Dynasty. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, millions of Chinese people died on the Korean Peninsula, but they became Silla's wedding dress.

    ??Looking again at the anti-Japanese and aid campaign during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty?Looking at the War to Resist Japan and Aid Korea during the First Sino-Japanese War, and then look at the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea after the founding of New China, we can see how much blood the Chinese people shed in vain, but in the end, nothing was gained.

    Looking back later, China delivers 500,000 tons of oil to North Korea every year, accounting for 80% of the total oil imported by North Korea. Not only is the price of oil significantly lower than the international market price, but it is usually delayed for one to two years.  As payment, more than 500,000 tons of grain are provided to North Korea every year, which is more than 2 billion kilograms of grain. This amount of grain is enough to feed 10 million people. What did China get in the end?

    Lu Bu does not want to repeat the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty and the two subsequent dynasties. He is determined not to leave the blood of the Chinese people on this land. He must not create any more stupid vassal states. He must turn this land into the paradise of the Han nation.

    Lu Bu does not plan to establish any vassal states. All territories that can be conquered will become states and counties of the Chinese Empire.

    Lu Bu attracted 400,000 Han people from the Liaozhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou states that frequently visited the Korean Peninsula, of which 200,000 were young and strong. Most of them became farmers, and some became mine owners.  , and they are also part of the newly established Chaozhou Local Guard Army.

    Lu Bu appointed Yu Jin as the general of Chaozhou and Guan Ning as the governor of Chaozhou. Yu Jin led 10,000 regular troops to train and reorganize the 200,000 garrison. The 200,000 garrison could firmly control the Korean Peninsula.

    After the army of the Chinese Empire occupied the Koryo Peninsula and captured Jeju Island, they could attack the Japanese country in the southeast. If they captured the Japanese country in the future, and cooperated with Yizhou (Taiwan-Taiwan) and the Ryukyu Islands, they could conquer the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea,  The East China Sea and the Whale Sea (Japanese Sea) are all covered, so that the merchant ships on this large sea area and the rare treasures below are under the control of the Chinese Empire.  Moreover, after taking over Goryeo, we can take over Sakhalin Island, and continue to the north to occupy Siberia, a wasteland covered in ice and snow. Under the wasteland, there are inexhaustible minerals.  It can be mined after the technology matures.

    The country of Koryo is divided from the capital, one to the south and one to the north. The north is rich in mineral resources. The most important mineral resources include gold, silver, copper, lead, aluminum and iron ore, as well as limestone, mica, asbestos and coal.  Goryeo has been known as a gold-producing country since ancient times, and the gold mines in the north of Goryeo often coexist with silver, copper and other mines. In a place called Shangnong, the gold reserves are as high as more than 300 billion kilograms (ore).  In a place called Musan, there are nearly 10 trillion kilograms of iron ore deposits. It is also rich in iron ore and can be mined without much effort. In addition, the coal reserves in northern Goryeo are about 30 trillion kilograms, which is just enough.  After taking down the iron smelting, Yu Jin and Guan Ning organized people to make weapons there.  Goryeo is mountainous, so there are many forests, which can be harvested to make ships. Goryeo is a shipbuilding center, and warships and weapons are built in Goryeo to prepare for the conquest of Japan in a few years.

    After Lu Bu captured the Koryo Peninsula, he set his sights on the Japanese country. However, the Japanese country was located on the sea and had the help of strange divine winds. Lu Bu was worried that he would repeat the same mistake as the Mongolian attack on the Japanese country.

    On October 20, 1274 AD, the "Battle of Forever" between the Yuan Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom reached a fever pitch. The Yuan army landed at Hakata Bay in the Japanese Kingdom in two groups, defeating the Japanese army.  The Yuan army took the opportunity to pursue, but because deputy commander Liu Fuheng was injured by an arrow during the pursuit, the offensive weakened, and it was getting late, so the Yuan army stopped attacking.

    That night, the Yuan army held a military meeting.  Most generals believed that the situation was unfavorable. Many had overestimated the number of Japanese troops, and no reinforcements had been sent from home. They advocated retreat.  So the coach Xindu ordered a retreat, but unfortunately, on the night of the retreat, a typhoon suddenly struck, and the arrogant Yuan Dynasty army was completely engulfed by the strong wind In this battle, the Yuan army lost more than 130,000 troops, including  Most of them died not in battle, but in the storm.  As a result, the Yuan Dynasty no longer dared to launch rash attacks against Japan.  The Japanese people believed that this typhoon was the result of God saving the Japanese country, so they worshiped it and called it "divine wind".  This is the origin of the name "Kamikaze" of the Japanese army during World War II.

    Moreover, although there are many small countries on the Japanese Islands that fight dogs, there are still more than one million Japanese, and they are all wild and untamed, brave and fierce, and have strong individual combat capabilities. Lu Bu does not want to lose too many Han lives on these beasts.  Therefore, he was cautious in sending troops. He decided to occupy Yizhou first, from Goryeo to the south, and from Yizhou to the north, attacking from the north and the south.

    Taiwan was called "Daoyi" during the Warring States Period, "Dongkun" and "Yizhou" during the Han and Three Kingdoms periods, and "Yizhou" after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty, "Taiwan" was officially used in public.  Bay" name.  This was the early third century AD after the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Taiwan was naturally called "Yizhou".

    Lu Bu asked Zhou Yu and He Qi's Donghai Division stationed in the Zhoushan Islands to attack Yizhou from Zhoushan. Because Zhoushan was far away from Yizhou by sea, in this era when there were no steam ships and sailing ships, the troops continued to attack Yizhou despite the smooth water and wind.  It takes more than 20 days to sail across the land.If there is another storm on the sea route, it may take more than a month to reach Yizhou.

    Multiple supply points are needed along the road to ensure that the shipping from Zhoushan to Yizhou will not cause various accidents, so Lu Bu told Zhou Yu and He Qi to first capture the coastal islands of Yangzhou as marking points.
