In the southeast of Jeju Island, Wen Huanzhang presided over the construction of a city, which was comparable to Jeju Juye City. However, the city wall was relatively short and the defense was relatively low, but it was enough to deal with the Goryeo army.

In the government office in the city, Zhang Zhengdao was sitting on the main seat, with a group of leaders lined up on both sides. It can be said that there are many talents.

During the invasion of Goryeo, Zhang Zhengdao took out all Liangshan’s family assets.

Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasui, Fang Xuedu, Qiao Daoqing, Fan Rui and other counselors were all transferred to the island.

In addition, the three battalions of the cavalry army, the flying cavalry army, the flying tiger army, the horse army, the mountain attacking army, the Hanshan army, the three battalions of the trapped infantry army, the three battalions of the Pinghai, Talang and Fubo naval forces, plus the Diting camp

, and the newly formed Flying Leopard Army led by Tang Bin and Hao Siwen, among the three heroes of Pudong.

The soldiers and horses of each battalion, plus a group of auxiliary troops, totaled 80,000 troops, known as one hundred thousand!

At this time, Liangshan had been keeping a low profile and had not yet been taken seriously by the court.

The governor of Jeju also reported good news but not bad news. He also did not see this group of puddle bandits attacking the prefecture, so he did not report it to the court.

Therefore, Zhang Zhengdao only left Liangshan with more than 10,000 new troops, enough to cope with emergencies. Even if the imperial court sent troops to conquer, they could last for a year and a half, enough for Liangshan's army to return reinforcements.

"Master of the village, the army is gathering. I think the country of Goryeo has already taken precautions." Wen Huanzhang said.

Zhang Zhengdao nodded. The Goryeo Kingdom would definitely detect such a big move by Liangshan, but the leader of the kingdom, Wang Ma, had no good way to deal with the Song army that suddenly appeared.

In the previous two times, Goryeo sent more than 10,000 troops to conquer across the sea, but they were all defeated and suffered heavy losses.

Xiao Jiasui said: "Master of the village, it was previously agreed that the Liangshan army would directly encircle Gaoli and open the capital to decide the outcome in one battle. I am afraid that we are unable to do so at this time."

Zhang Zhengdao asked: "Why?"

Wen Huanzhang answered: "The leader of the village does not know that although Wang Ma, the leader of Goryeo, has some talents, the power in the country has always been controlled by the Li family. If Kaijing is directly besieged, I am afraid that all the forces in Goryeo will

, will put aside their past grudges and work together to resist our Liangshan army."

"Even if we conquer Goryeo, there will not be enough talents to govern it!" Wen Huanzhang looked at the leaders gathered together, but military generals accounted for the vast majority.

Zhang Zhengdao understands what Wen Huanzhang means. After all, Liangshan is still a group of mountain bandits. It is difficult for any literati to join them. This group of illiterate and rough men are masters at killing people with knives. If they are asked to manage government affairs, I am afraid that

It's a mess.

Fortunately, when Xiao Jiasui was in Longdeok Mansion, due to the Tianhu disaster, he attracted many literati to go up the mountain and put them all on Jeju Island to practice.

Seeing Zhang Zhengdao's silence, Wen Huanzhang smiled and said: "The village leader doesn't need to worry too much. There are already hundreds of students on the island. They all came from the imperial examination and are studying in the county government below."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "Since we don't have enough scholars in Liangshan to govern the place, we can only cannibalize Goryeo."

Xiao Jiasui said: "I have discussed with Mr. Wen and Mr. Fang that it is easy to besiege Kaijing City. Jeju Island also has enough money and food to support it, but it will take time. Even if Kaijing City is captured, Liangshan does not have enough strength to rule at the moment.

I am afraid that if I enter the city and plunder some property, I will eventually withdraw in panic."

Hearing Xiao Jiasui's words, Zhang Zhengdao's heart moved. The situation facing Liangshan at this time was exactly the same as the Jurchens' capture of Bianliang City in the future.

Although the Jin army captured Bianliang City in Tokyo with its powerful military force, they had no way to continue to rule the vast land of the Song Dynasty. They could only search for money, capture the Zhao family members, and return to Baishan and Heishui.

In desperation, he supported a pseudo-Qi regime to govern the hometown of the Song Dynasty.

Zhang Zhengdao suddenly realized that if he followed his previous plan, he might not be able to rule Goryeo. He would just become a rogue bandit, looting and then retreating.

Military and national affairs are indeed no child's play. Fortunately, there are several advisers who can provide suggestions and correct omissions.

"If the army presses the border, then the major forces in Goryeo will immediately put aside their struggle for power and join forces to fight against Liangshan. It is better to attack them separately, making friends from far away and attacking close by." Xiao Jiasui said.

Wen Huanzhang nodded and said: "In Goryeo, there are hidden worries internally, Jurchen threats externally, the people are tired, and there are frequent natural disasters. Attacking at this time will be like breaking a bamboo."

Wen Huanzhang ordered the map of Goryeo to be hung up and introduced: "Goryeo has five borders and two borders. Next to Jeju Island are Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province."

"These two roads are vast and sparsely populated, but they have large areas of fertile farmland. If Liangshan occupies these two roads, hundreds of thousands more immigrants can be immigrated from the Song Dynasty." Wen Huanzhang suggested: "Zhao Master, although we talk about immigration,

It’s time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it’s a recipe for long-term peace and stability.”

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "Those who are not of my race must have different minds! We are not Koreans. If there are not enough Han people, it will be difficult to gain a foothold here."

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Zhengdao decided: "According to the military strategist's plan, we will conquer Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province first, and then continue to immigrate to fill the population of the two provinces."

"The army has been recuperating for a month and will continue to drill every day. When Di Tingying returns to inquire about the news, we will choose a day to set out across the sea." Zhang Zhengdao passed down the general's order, and all the leaders in the hall clasped their fists to receive the order.

After everyone retreated and the troops and horses of each battalion were repaired, Zhang Zhengdao only left Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasui, and Fang Xuedu to continue discussing the conquest of Goryeo.

The battle to destroy a country is not as easy as imagined. It is not difficult to capture a city and a land. What is difficult is how to stabilize governance.

Based on Liangshan's current strength, it is somewhat stretched to annex two places in Goryeo and send out all the talents it has recruited. This is the result of having no foundation.

Zhang Zhengdao didn't have much regret about this. After all, within two years, he had raised 100,000 soldiers and more than 50 leaders, which was his limit.

"Although the leader of the village cannot capture Goryeo in one battle, it is safest to go ashore from Jeolla Province, from south to north, and slowly map it out. Moreover, Yangshan is supported by Jeju Island, so it can be attacked or defended.

The risk of dividing the troops and being besieged." Wen Huanzhang saw Zhang Zhengdao being somewhat silent, thinking he was still regretting that he could not decide the outcome in one battle.

Xiao Jiasui also said: "I heard that the Jeolla Road is the granary of Goryeo. If it is captured, Liangshan will no longer have to buy food and grass from the Song Dynasty."

Zhang Zhengdao calmed down and said with a smile: "What the two military advisors said is true. We have only a short time to establish the stronghold in Liangshan, and we lack the foundation. If we can conquer the two Koreas and gain a firm foothold, that is our limit."

"Master of the village, the Koryo Kingdom came across the sea to conquer. We learned from the captives that there were very few naval forces in the country, and they were all captured by us. Therefore, there is no enemy on this sea, just like the eight hundred miles of water." Fang Fang.

Xuedu smiled.

Zhang Zhengdao nodded, no matter what, as long as Liangshan has this naval force, it will be invincible.

"The leader of the village, in addition to the Gyeonggi area, there are Yangguang Road, Gyoju Road, Gyeongsang Road, Jeolla Road, Seohaido Road, and to the north, there are the east boundary and the north boundary, with a total population of more than two million, and

Following the example of the Great Song Dynasty, there were four capitals in the east, west, south, north, and fifteen prefectures, one hundred and twenty-nine counties, and more than three hundred counties." Wen Huanzhang introduced the information he found one by one.
