Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Chapter 290 The Current Situation of Wo Island Above Wo Island, the sea breeze whistled past, carrying with it a pungent smell of blood.

On the lush island, the situation has reached a complete stalemate.

A whole year has passed since they set foot on this land.

Wu Tianyan led a group of passionate young men to fight bravely in a foreign land, and every charge was filled with the desire for victory.

However, Japan still stood stubbornly and refused to surrender to these Tang people.

The main reason for this difficulty is that the disparity in military strength is too great, and their numbers are simply too small.

During this year of war, they were trapped on this vast Japanese island and unable to board the ship to return to the Tang Dynasty for supplies.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the soldiers looked at the boundless ocean, and endless confusion and fear welled up in their hearts, because they had no idea what their status was in the Tang Dynasty.

If they can successfully conquer Japan and return with glory, they will undoubtedly be great contributors to the Tang Dynasty. Their names will go down in history, they will be admired by the people, and they will be rewarded handsomely by the court.

Every day they think about the glorious scene of returning home in glory, the proud smiles of their relatives, and the envious eyes of their neighbors.

But if they fail to defeat Japan, they will become fugitives of the Tang Dynasty. Not only will they bear the stigma of plunder, but they will also have to constantly avoid being hunted by the imperial court. From then on, they will have no place to stay in the world.

Their families will be shamed because of them.

During this year, Wang Tianyan's team did not gain nothing.

They fought hard at the beginning, and half of Japan fell.

From the first time they set foot on this land, there was endless brutality and killing, to later, as the war progressed, the team began to lose members.

Disease, pain and death follow like shadows. Once familiar faces fall one by one, and the heavy shadow of casualties hangs over everyone.

Wang Tianyan witnessed all this, constantly thinking and weighing things in his mind.

Finally, he changed his policy and decided to use the old method of the Tang Dynasty - using barbarians to rule barbarians.

Thanks to Wang Tianyan's increasingly sophisticated skills in drawing promises, he has woven a seemingly beautiful web with his promises for the future.

Many Japanese slaves were bewitched by him and joined them.

These slaves became a force that could not be underestimated on the battlefield. With their longing for a new life and desire for food and clothing, they were always the most ferocious ones on the battlefield.

After all, compared to when they were in Japan, they often had no food to eat and could hardly get a full meal. But now in Wang Tianyan's team, they can at least have a full meal.

This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for them.

They are eager to win the right to survive through fighting.

In the somewhat crude tent, Wang Tianyan was drinking the sake that even a dog wouldn't drink with a sad face.

He drank to relieve his sorrow and try to dispel the boredom in his heart.

He stared at the ceiling of the tent with empty eyes, his thoughts drifting back to the distant Tang Dynasty, thinking of his family and the familiar land.

At this moment, Lai Fu rushed in excitedly, his footsteps sounded particularly clear in the silent tent, breaking the depressing atmosphere.

"Brother Dog, Brother Dog, here comes the boat, here comes the boat!"

Lai Fu's voice was filled with irrepressible excitement.

His face was beaming with joy.

Wang Tianyan was originally immersed in his own sorrow. When he heard Lai Fu's words, his body shook violently, and the wine glass in his hand almost slipped. He stood up suddenly, his eyes revealing nervousness and anticipation.

"What ship? Where did it come from?" His voice trembled slightly, and he was extremely uneasy.

He was afraid that this was a fleet from the Tang Dynasty coming to call for punishment, but at the same time, he secretly hoped that this might be a turning point.

Lai Fu gasped for breath, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his excitement.

"Brother Gou, we're from the Tang Dynasty! We're coming from the Tang Dynasty!"

Lai Fu's face was filled with a joyful smile.

But in stark contrast to Lai Fu, Wang Tianyan's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

"His Majesty has sent troops..." he muttered to himself in a low voice.

Lai Fu looked at Wang Tianyan's worried face, feeling somewhat puzzled. He asked doubtfully, "Brother Gou, what's wrong? Why are you so worried? Isn't this a good thing? We can defeat Japan!"

Wang Tianyan looked at Lai Fu with a wry smile, his eyes full of bitterness.

"Fu, if we conquer Japan, that would be a good thing, but we haven't conquered it yet, and the brothers are already feeling unbalanced."

"Don't forget, we have no money left to give them. Although no one says it, I know in my heart that I owe them!"

"We left our homes and fought hard here for a year. But have you forgotten where we got our money and boats? We are fugitives from the Tang Dynasty!"

His words were filled with guilt. Thinking of his brothers who had followed him through thick and thin, yet might face such a cruel end, his heart felt like it was being pierced by countless needles.

After hearing Wang Tianyan's words, Lai Fu's originally excited face suddenly turned pale, as if a basin of cold water was poured over him from head to toe, and he was completely stunned.

"So...Brother Gou, what should we do now? Run? Or maybe we should just get on the boat and run away, and never come back to the Tang Dynasty!"

There was helplessness in Lai Fu's voice and his eyes revealed fear of the unknown.

Hearing Lai Fu's flustered words, Wang Tianyan glared at him fiercely and scolded him, "How foolish! We are from the Tang Dynasty. How can we become pirates? If we die, we will die at home! Lai Fu, get ready to welcome the Tang army."

"Although we haven't taken it yet, we already know this Japanese island very well! We can't take it, not because we are incapable! But because we don't have the follow-up! We don't have the manpower."

"If there are enough people, we can conquer the Japanese island in just one month."

"Now that His Majesty has sent us, we must help in any way we can. When we return home, we can at least seek to offset our mistakes. If not, we can at least die at home."

There was a determined light in his eyes, which was the pride of being a Tang person.

Wang Tianyan patted Lai Fu's shoulder heavily, with a complicated emotion in his eyes.

"Fu, do you regret it?"

Lai Fu shook his head firmly, a smile on his face.

"Brother Gou, what are you talking about? The idea was mine. What's there to regret? It's you, Brother Gou, who has been harmed!" Although his voice was trembling, it was full of determination.

"It's worth it to be here in my life! It's better than farming every day for the rest of my life! I just love the feeling of being at sea!"

At this moment of life and death, Lai Fu felt a surge of pride in his heart.
