"What kind of gold and silver mountain? Who did you listen to?" Liu Yu frowned.
"Your Majesty, almost everyone inside and outside Ye City knows now." Yu Wenzhao said with an innocent face.
For everyone, the legend of a gold and silver mountain is already a very tempting word.
"That's just nonsense from the Buyeo people of Baekje. How come you really believe it?"
Wang Ze said from the side.
Wang Ze naturally knew about this so-called 'gold and silver mountain'.
It was said by Buyeogi, the king of Baekje who had just surrendered.
When Fuyuchi surrendered to Zhang Tong, the governor of Dongping Prefecture, he told everyone that the Japanese country in Haidong had a huge gold and silver mountain with huge reserves that could last almost a thousand years.
Naturally, the Queen and Wang Ze did not believe this news.
If that barbaric Japanese country had all this gold and silver, how could it be so poor?
Wang Ze heard that the Japanese navy had hundreds of boats and fled in Dongping Prefecture, and they did not have the courage to fight the Han army.
"Hehe, your news is not false."
Liu Yu suddenly smiled.
Wang Ze was slightly startled and turned to look at Liu Yu.
Could it be that there really is a huge gold and silver mine in Japan?
"Yes, the Japanese country does have huge gold and silver mines, I already know that."
Liu Yu said straightforwardly.
When Yu Wenzhao heard this, he immediately became happy.
"Your Majesty, since it is true, then I want all my people to conquer the Japanese country. I don't want any more. You only need to give me a small half of the gold and silver mines."
As Yu Wenzhao spoke, he began to count his fingers to calculate for Liu Yu the combat effectiveness of her subordinates.
Even if they are not as good as Dongping Prefecture's soldiers, they will definitely not be worse than Murong Ren's men.
"Your Majesty, if the Japanese country really has so much gold and silver, it will be a great thing for the country and its people."
Wang Ze also said immediately.
"How can such an important place be handed over to others so easily? It is better to have it under the control of Taiwan Province."
What she said was very to the point.
They didn't want to fight for it at all, they just wanted to nationalize the Japanese treasures, that is, belong to the emperor, instead of restricting the rule as previously planned.
"Although the Japanese country has huge gold and silver mines, it is a barbaric land and does not have the corresponding equipment and craftsmen. In any case, it is a huge investment."
Liu Yu waved his hand and continued.
"Besides, the barbarians in the Japanese country are quite fierce. If we don't open up feudal borders, we will have to invest a lot of money."
For the cross-sea conquest of Japan, only the enthusiasm of the army can be mobilized to the maximum.
Otherwise, the fatal logistical supply will be a huge pit.
"I can also grant your request."
Liu Yu said to Yu Wenzhao with a smile.
When Yu Wenzhao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
"I thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Wait, don't thank me in a hurry." Liu Yu said playfully.
"We have to go to the Japanese country first, and we have to cross the sea. There are many dangers in it. If we are not careful, we will feed the fish and turtles in the sea. Are those Xi people under your command really willing to go?"
Yu Wenzhao immediately nodded fiercely.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. My subordinates are all very obedient, and those two cities are surrounded by mountain cities. There will be no problem even in Dongping Prefecture, and there will be no problem even in the mountains of Japan."
It seems that Yu Wenzhao has done a lot of homework.
She is quite familiar with the geographical conditions of Dongping Prefecture and the Japanese Kingdom.
"That's good. I will send someone to pass the order after a while and ask Zhang Tong, the governor of Dongping Prefecture, to take over all your troops."
Now the King of Baekje, Buyeogi, has taken Bangjun as a prisoner. Although he takes the initiative to take the title, he is also in an unceremonious situation.
However, the remaining tribes of Benhan and Chenhan were important barbarians, and they had not yet completely surrendered.
Even before arriving in Japan, there were many savages on the land at the southern end of Dongping Prefecture.
To deal with so many barbarians, the more servants and vassals of the Han army, the better.
"Also, these Xi people are all elite soldiers who are good at mountain warfare. They can't all go to the Japanese country. That means they are overqualified and underused."
The Kumoxi and other tribes under the Ministry of Yuwen all live in grasslands and mountain forests, and they are most familiar with the jungle.
The combat experience in the jungles and mountains is naturally far superior to that of ordinary nomads.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely keep at least 3,000 troops in Dongping Prefecture, and I will send the rest to Japan." Yu Wenzhao said.
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Although Liaodong County has basically stabilized now, war has rekindled in the Goguryeo area to the east.
Goguryeo, which had suffered successive defeats before, had lost its influence over the Buyeo and Sushen people in the north.
These barbarians further north began to often go south to plunder the land and population of Goguryeo.
The nobles of Goguryeo were so overwhelmed that they had no intention of fighting anymore.
In fact, some Goguryeo people went north to seek interference from tribes such as Buyeo and Sushen.
Therefore, if Liu Yu wants to support the lackey Goguryeo, he must find a way to repel the increasingly arrogant Fuyu, Sushen and other tribes in the north.
And these Kumoxi soldiers under Yu Wenzhao's name are naturally the best choice.
