The breeze is coming, the pond is sparkling, the lotus flowers are rising in the wind, and the fragrance of flowers comes with the wind.

The rippling pond water surrounds the octagonal pavilion, like a giant standing, a corner of the pavilion, Yang Yue, Li Zhaoyang eyes opposite.

Yang Yue raised his left arm and drooped on the stone pillar, his fingers supported Li Zhaoyang's soft jaw, and the tiger pounced on the prey.

Under Lang Lang Tiankun, Yang Yue was wanton and thin, Li Zhaoyang's posture was tense, leaning against the stone pillar, squatting with his legs, not wanting to have physical contact with Yang Yue.

waved Yang Yue's arm several times, but it didn't move like a mosaic stone pillar.

Unable to escape, encountering lightness, Yang Yue's cold eyes looked directly, Li Zhaoyang's cheeks flew away, and his heart was beating wildly.

However, in the face of Yang Yue's aggressive words, his expression was still firm, and his face sank and he angrily reprimanded: "Prince, please respect yourself, if the prince doubts the identity of the people's daughter, expel the people's daughter from the palace."

Yang Yue smiled, did not give up the idea at all, and his fingers flicked the mole in Li Zhaoyang's face, and the blue-black mole seemed to move, sticking to Yang Yue's fingers.

"Miss Li, please answer, what is this?" Yang Yue put his finger in front of Li Zhaoyang, and said very unhappily: "If the girl is open in her heart, why do you need to change her face and hide her identity. Say, who are you, the internal guard, or Han Xifan's subordinate? ”

He noticed it! Li Zhaoyang sighed secretly!

Immediately, he took out a handkerchief and erased it on his face at will, and his fair face gradually turned blue-black, as if he had not recovered from a serious illness, but he showed a little beautiful appearance.

Angry eyes stared at Yang Yue, his face was cold and solemn, and he said unhappily: "Those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to ink are black, in the city of Youzhou, the prodigal son of Dengtu, the wild bee and the butterfly, there are as many as cow hair, the people practice medicine, just in case, naturally protect themselves, if the prince is suspicious, send someone to Jishengtang to ask."

It's a pity that Yang Yue can't do it at all, and he intuitively feels that Li Zhaoyang takes the initiative to give in, and he is advancing by retreating, and hiding his true identity.

Warned: "Don't worry, girl, this king will send someone to find out."

"It's so good, and the people's daughters are innocent!" Li Zhaoyang curled his eyelids and glared at Yang Yue, very dissatisfied, as if he had a command taste.

At this time, by the pond and at the rockery, there was a slight sound of footsteps.

Yang Yue suddenly changed his face, and said with a smile: "Miss Li, Yin'er's injury has not healed, and the girl can't leave Yanwang's Mansion for the time being."

"Don't worry, save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, before the second lady recovers, the people will never leave." Li Zhaoyang cut the railway.

But she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Yang Yue didn't ask again, otherwise, she couldn't hide the possibility of being exposed.

Yang Yue bowed his head, withdrew his arm, and said, "Recently, the girl stayed in the mansion, and this king will send someone to arrange a place for the girl to live." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the pavilion and left the water pavilion.

When she was young, Xiu'er appeared in the distance, hurried forward, rushed to Li Zhaoyang, saw her Xia Fei's cheeks, behaved timidly, and asked softly: "Princess, what is King Yan doing, do you want a slave to warn him?" ”

"It's a good thing you came, otherwise he would have been exposed to the end of the investigation." Li Zhaoyang breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking of Yang Yue's indifference to himself, and he was ashamed and angry. With an unhappy face, he commanded: "Xiu'er, don't be rash, lest you startle the snake, you quickly leave the house and go to Jishengtang. Implement your identity."

This time it quietly flowed out of the palace, all because Lin Kaiyue led the troops to Dandong, she was afraid that the Tang army would endanger the country, so she sneaked into the Yanwang Mansion, hoping to steal information and keep the country safe.

Xiu'er bowed her head, turned around and walked out of the pavilion quickly, at this time, Li Zhaoyang hurriedly turned around and said: "Forget it, according to Yang Yue's treachery, he must have secretly sent someone to follow him, in this way, wouldn't there be three hundred taels of silver here, just let him grab the handle."

"But princess, you are alone in the Yanwang Mansion, if you are found out, you will be imprisoned by Yang Yue." Xiu'er's face was pale and extremely worried.

Li Zhaoyang said confidently: "There is no need to worry. I believe Luo Feng will arrange everything."

Xiu'er didn't say much. Their people have long been lurking in Youzhou City, and if they are in danger, they will usually rescue the princess.

Yang Yue left the Water Pavilion and told the guards to monitor Li Zhaoyang's every move, and sent guards to Jishengtang to investigate.

After explaining everything, go to Lin Miaoyin's boudoir.

After Yuwen Linxuan and Yue Nujiao took care of her, Lin Miaoyin's fever signs gradually eased, and she was never awake, but her face gradually became ruddy.

After staying for a while, Yang Yue left and went to the study to deal with government affairs.

The next day, I didn't have time to take a break.

Zhang Xuanheng, Yan Yuefeng, and Wei Jiyan returned to Beijing from the expeditionary army, and by the way, they brought back the military report sent back by the secret agents who stayed in Chang'an.

A group of civil ministers and military generals ordered the army to return to the camp and go to the Yanwang Mansion without stopping.

In the study, Li Xuanqi reported to Yang Yue the changes in Chang'an, and learned that the imperial court had recovered the military power of the King of Qin and the King of Shu.

With this, there is also a little worry about the imperial court sending Lin Zhonghu, Lu Qizheng leading the left and right Xiaowei garrisons to defend the state and Xiangzhou, and the intentions of the imperial court are clearly revealed.

Fingers flicked on the bookcase, and when there was little silence, Yang Yue said: "My father took back the King of Qin, the King of Shu's military power, and the internal guard wanted to capture the king in Hangu Guansheng, Lin Zhonghu, Lu Qizheng led the troops to garrison Weizhou, Xiangzhou, and the imperial court, what do you think?" ＂

"Lord, Weichen feels that no matter whether the emperor takes back the military power of the King of Qin and the King of Shu, or sends the internal health to capture the prince back to Beijing, it all shows that the emperor has completely lost trust in the princes.

Now, Lin Zhonghu and Lu Qi are leading troops to Weizhou and Xiangzhou, nominally guarding against Han Xifan, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, but in fact, secretly guarding against the prince, Weichen proposed, leading the troops to evacuate Youzhou and go to Dandong to avoid the imperial court sending troops to crusade.

The imperial court did not hesitate to send the masters of the heavenly list and send out the army, which is normal.

Sensing that Yang Yue's ancient well was not wavering, Xiao Yun continued: "Prince, after the matter of the Tiger Prison, there are also the King of Qin, the King of Shu, and the lessons of the past, the prince must make plans in advance, only by going to Dandong and staying away from the court, the prince will have enough time to straighten out the soldiers and horses and accumulate strength."

However, without waiting for Yang Yue to express his position, Li Xuanqi hurriedly stood up and retorted: "Lord Wang, the Yuwen clan rebelled, and the vitality of the imperial court was greatly damaged, so Lin Zhonghu and Lu Qi were sent to warn the prince.

If you want to send troops to fight, within a year and a half, the imperial court did not dare to make a desperate bet, therefore, Weichen felt that Youzhou was quite safe, and in addition, the armies of Youzhou were in need of recuperation after a big war, people were sleepy and horses were lacking, and there were many casualties.

At this moment, the time is not ripe to go to Dandong, not to mention, General Lin led the troops, and it seems that he has never captured Dandong. Venture out of the net Dandong, won't our army become a grass without roots, duckweed on the water, where will the armies have a foothold? ＂

He hoped that Yang Yue would take the lead in rectifying the soldiers and horses, appease the people, and wait for the autumn harvest to harvest the grain before going to Dandong.

Fan Hengwen stood up, glanced at Li Xuanqi, looked up at Yang Yue, and said categorically: "Lord Wang, it is imperative to go to Dandong under the current situation. However, Weichen felt that the emperor sent the master of the Tianbang to arrest the prince, all because he was afraid that the prince would hold a male army, which would be detrimental to the court.

Weichen proposed that the prince take the initiative to eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army, weaken the troops, and show weakness to the court on the surface."

Yang Yue knew what Fan Hengwen meant, the soldiers were in the essence and not in the many, he controlled too many troops in his hands, and became a behemoth lying in the north.

However, he was in the north, surrounded by jackals and tigers and leopards, and he could not survive without heavy troops.

Not to mention the expansion of power, just surviving in the Northeast will encounter many troubles.

However, it is imperative to lose the grain and grass sent by the imperial court, otherwise, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be fostered and deplete his few savings.

Knowing the thoughts of the three strategists under his command, Yang Yue has made a choice in his heart. Turning his head to Wei Jiyan, he asked, "General Wei, this time to quell the rebellion, how many casualties are there?"

"Lord Wang, the battle of Tiger Pass, the battle of Luoyang, Zuo Wuwei suffered a total of more than 5,000 casualties, and the main force still exists, but the flying cavalry army, the tiger army, most of them are new soldiers, there are more losses, more than half of the casualties, 100,000 soldiers went out, only 60,000 returned, of which 10,000 were wounded, I am afraid that they will not be able to fight on the battlefield! Wei Jiyan reported that the huge casualties made him heartbroken.

Hearing this, Yang Yue gasped, only feeling that Yang Mingkun was too unkind, his soldiers suffered many casualties and their strength was reduced, but he was still wary of himself.

"Captive? ＂

"Before the Tiger Pass, more than 40,000 Xuanwu troops, more than 30,000 Ningwu troops, Tiger Pass, Luoyang, two battlefields, and 780,000 soldiers of the Yuwen clan were captured, totaling as many as 150,000! ＂

Yang Yue bowed his head, slightly relieved, and said, "Have these captives arrived in Youzhou?" ＂

"Back to the prince, they are all imprisoned in Pingzhou and Jizhou."

"Very good, General Wei, immediately arrange the generals, select the elite generals from them, supplement the three armies, and the remaining prisoners, and stay in Jizhou and Pingzhou for the time being."

These captives, all of whom were regular soldiers, surrendered sincerely, and could be thrown into battle without training, were a huge force.

"Yes! ＂

Yang Yue didn't delay, and asked Xiao Yun: "Xiao Changshi, have tens of thousands of right guard captives surrendered?" ＂

"Lord Wang, all of them have been surrendered! There are 40,000 elite soldiers, willing to be loyal to the prince." Xiao Yun said.

"Very good, the right guards are all left guards, and they are led by Zhang Xuanheng and Ye Qinghu for the time being."

"Yes! ＂

At this time, Yang Yue's gaze shifted to Li Xuanqi and asked, "Lord Li, is there any news of General Lin, and where has the army arrived?" ＂

"Lord Wang, General Lin led the troops, invincible, and successively conquered the Larao Governor's Mansion, the Gebezhou Governor's Mansion, and the Liaocheng Prefecture Governor's Mansion, making Pinglu and Hedong split, and the current forward army has arrived in Dandong, and General Lin is preparing to use troops against Dandong." Li Xuanqi reported.

"Lin Kaiyue did not live up to the expectations of this king, Zhang Xuanheng, Ye Qinghu, the two of you quickly led the troops out of the Great Wall and transferred to Dandong, within half a month, you must open the passage to Dandong and completely occupy Dandong." Hearing that Lin Kaiyue led the troops and the forward arrived in Dandong, Yang Yue secretly rejoiced.

Capture Dandong, he will have a foundation in the northeast, and he will no longer be afraid of the threat of the imperial court.

However, Li Xuanqi stepped forward, with a worried face, and asked, "Lord Wang, will this be too much of a move?" ＂

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, Dandong is where the Governor's Mansion of Andong is located, the city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the city must be captured with heavy troops." Yang Yue said.

Since he broke with the emperor, he must surrender for himself and stay in Youzhou, where he is vulnerable to being attacked by troops sent by Chang'an.

Go to Dandong, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one will help him from then on.

When there was silence for a while, Yang Yue Wei Jiyan commanded, "General Yan, you personally lead the troops to guard against Han Xifan's Pinglu town, and in the future, outside the Great Wall, in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, this king has the final say."

"Yes."

Yang Yue's eyes focused on Fan Hengwen, and said: "Lord Fan, quickly post notices in Youzhou, Jizhou, and Pingzhou, and all the people who are willing to go to Dandong will share ten acres of fertile land each, and there is no need to pay any taxes within two years, in addition, give farming cattle."

"Lord Wang, in the northeast region, there are many tribes, and the people at the border pass are often poisoned by cavalry, and Weichen is worried, and few people respond." Regarding Yang Yue's proposal, Xiao Yun took the lead in refuting.

"Lord, we are going to Dandong, our foothold is not stable, we are surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the people are going, there is no distribution of fertile land, so we must not act rashly." Li Xuanqi said.

"That's right, the army has consumed a lot, and the war is stopped by war, and there are still foster care, but with the people, the situation is bound to be difficult." Fan Hengwen said.

"Don't worry, there will be bread and milk," Yang Yue said confidently.

Xiao Yun, Li Xuanqi, and Fan Hengwen don't know, doesn't he know that the Northeast Plain is rich in products, and the army will go and actively open up the wasteland, which will definitely form fertile land.

If he leads his troops to Dandong, he can open up territory in the northeast, expel various tribes, and form fertile land, and he will quickly gather wealth, ordnance, and food in the northeast, and grow rapidly.

What's more, the land in the Northeast is rich in mineral resources, and the soil layer is deep and fertile. Most of the areas are rich in surface water and groundwater, which are suitable for irrigation. The development potential of agriculture and animal husbandry is very huge.

Occupy the northeast forest, rich in minerals, especially minerals, according to his ability, a little transformation, will be beneficial to support him, can not help but be able to train the male soldiers, to the north to occupy the Khitan, the Bohai Sea, to the south to swallow Silla, to the west to sweep all sides of the Jiedu envoys, can effectively expand the territory.

"Lord Wang, think twice! Li Xuanqi said.

At this time, Yang Yue waved his hand and said: "Xuanqi, I believe that this king has decided, three years, only three years, we will have the strength to compete with Silla and Khitan, and it will only take five years, and we will definitely be qualified to challenge the Turks, and even annihilate him."

Although Yang Yue has not yet built a blueprint in his heart, he believes that his choice is right.

Hearing this, Li Xuanqi stopped talking, hoping that Yang Yue's choice was not wrong.

At this time, Yang Yue asked Wen Renyu: "Wen Renyu, how is Changle Fang, has it started to trade?" ＂

"Prince, since the court quelled the rebellion, Changle Fang has broken away from various places, in addition, many places have been ordered by the court to strictly investigate, at present, only in Hebei Province business, moreover, the people rarely in Changle Fang with the help of money, at present, Wei Chen decided, temporarily abandon the area controlled by the imperial court, and vigorously operate among the northern tribes in various places."

Yang Yue heard this and said, "Act according to your plan. Remember, don't forget Silla! ＂

"Yes! "Wen Renyu.

At this time, Yang Yue waved his hand and said to the military general Wenchen: "Let's start acting!" ＂

"Yes! The military generals of all parties hugged their fists, some were happy and some were worried, and they strode out of the study.
