I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

It was tightly locked on the mark not far ahead, which was the Izumo Province of Japan.

In his disdainful eyes, this so-called Izumo Kingdom, although divided into eleven counties, was dwarfed in scale compared to the prosperous villages of the Tang Dynasty. How could it dare to call itself a county?

However, due to its special geographical location close to the port, the Izumo Kingdom can barely be considered a major power with some weight among the Japanese.

As far as he knew, the population here was more than 30,000, which was considered quite large for a sparsely populated country like Japan.

At this time, Japan had eight small countries, which were divided into counties. Most of these places were firmly controlled by local landlords and powerful people, forming relatively independent and closed spheres of influence.

"Let's go! Izumo Country!" Wu Tianyan carefully put away the map and suddenly raised his head.

Following his order, a team of more than 15,000 people marched towards Izumo Province on foot.

In the provincial governor's residence of Izumo Province, Matsuda Inoue was lying comfortably on the tatami, his eyes slightly closed, immersed in the geisha's graceful dance.

The geisha had a graceful figure and light dance steps, and the fan in her hand danced elegantly in the air.

Matsuda Inoue's face was full of intoxication.

A loud and chaotic commotion came from outside, instantly breaking the originally peaceful atmosphere.

Matsuda Inoue first frowned, an unhappy look on his face, and secretly cursed in his heart who was so bold as to disturb his fun at this time.

But when he vaguely heard the words in the noise, his whole body shook violently and shuddered involuntarily.

The Tang army is coming?

Countless terrible thoughts flashed through his mind instantly. The Tang Dynasty's army was famous and invincible. If they attacked, wouldn't his limited military force be like an egg against a rock?

The first reaction was to pack up quickly, take the valuables at home, flee this place, and run to another small country to avoid the limelight.

Before he could stand up, the county governors of Izumo County and Shenmen County rushed into the room like two headless flies.

"Inoue Kokuji, it's bad! The Tang people are invading!"

There was panic in their voices.

Matsuda Inoue's eyes widened, he glared at the two men fiercely, and scolded them, "Why don't you go and inform the people in the tribe, why are you fighting when the Tang army is here?"

As he spoke, he began to hurriedly pack up the valuables around him. The gold, silver, jewelry, and gorgeous clothes were stuffed into the package.

"I don't want anything else! I don't want anything!" There was helplessness in his voice.

"Let our people run first! Don't worry about those untouchables, just let them die!"

In his heart, those ordinary people were not worth his concern at all. As long as he and his people could escape this disaster, everything else could be abandoned.

The two geishas who were still dancing were frightened by this sudden change. Their legs went limp and they collapsed to the ground. The fans in their hands fell to the side and their eyes were full of helplessness.

They are all women from ordinary Japanese families.

When they heard what Kunishi said, they knew that their family was finished!

"Inoue Kuniji! Those coming are not Tang troops! They are Tang people!" Izumo Gunji said breathlessly.

When Matsuda Inoue heard this, he was stunned for a moment, stopped what he was doing, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Is there any difference?"

In his view, whether it was the Tang army or the Tang people, they were all the Tang army. As long as they came to attack them, they would not be able to contend with them.

"Inoue Kuniji! They are not the Tang Dynasty's army! They are a group of Tang Dynasty commoners!" Izumo County Magistrate explained loudly.

"They only have a little over a thousand pieces of leather armor!"

After hearing what Izumo Gunji said, Matsuda Inoue slowly put down what he was holding, and the expression on his face became complicated, with a mixture of relief, confusion and worry.

He began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind, wondering what kind of strength these common people of the Tang Dynasty had.
