The next day, noon.

Yang Yue led the army, starry night, and arrived at the Black Bone City.

This black bone city is the western gateway of Dandong City, and Yang Yue wants to rest here.

At this time, the city gate opened, and Xu Lin personally went out of the city to greet him.

Xu Lin strode forward to salute Yang Yue, and said, "The prince has worked hard!"

Hearing this, Yang Yue bowed his head and asked, "Xu Zhonglang, have you conquered the Black Bone City?"

"Lord Wang, the last general led his troops yesterday and never conquered the Black Bone City, thanks to General Lin and General Zhang, who led the troops to conquer Dandong, and by the way, captured the Black Bone City, Daxing City and Bogou City, and formed a three-sided defense against Dandong," Xu Lin reported.

Black Bone City, Daxing City, Bogou City?

Knowing Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Xuanheng's actions, Yang Yue was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, cronies are cronies, there is no need to remind him, he knows his thoughts and makes arrangements in advance.

Before leaving Youzhou, he deliberately learned more about the situation in the Governor's Mansion of Andong and knew the situation in Dandong Quartet.

Wugucheng is on the left flank of Dandong, guarding against the Khitan from the north and the Pinglu army from the west, Daxingcheng is located in the southwest of Dan, almost a border sea city, guarding against the sneak attack of the Silla army, and also trading with the imperial court.

Bogou City is located in the northeast of Dan, guarding against the Bohai State and the capital of Gebezhou, which can be used as a springboard to continue to lead the troops north.

.“ Very good, very good." Yang Yue bowed his head and was quite satisfied. led the troops into the city of black bones, and the army rested in the city of black bones,

At this moment, when you arrive within the defense range of the Wuwei Jinjun, you don't have to worry about the future, and you don't have to worry about the wolf riding to chase and kill.

The army entered the city, the whole army rested, and Yang Yue entered the house to rest.

In the inner courtyard, Xiu'er sneaked into Li Zhaoyang's bedroom and hurriedly closed the door.

When she came to Li Zhaoyang's side, Xiu'er spoke softly and reported: "Princess, the king learned that the princess was traveling with Yang Yue, and sent a secret agent to inform her, asking the princess to return to Beijing quickly."

However, Li Zhaoyang's face was blank, and he only asked: "Did you tell your father about Yang Yue's arrival in Wugu City with his troops?"

Since entering the Yanwang Mansion, Li Zhaoyang has been spreading all kinds of news, and told her father through secret agents

"It's been successfully transmitted!" Xiu'er bowed her head and said: "However, the king learned that Yang Yue had severely injured the wolf rider under the command of the King of the Right Valley, and was worried about the revenge of the King of the Right Valley, so he ordered the princess to leave, but the king also instructed the princess to ask the princess to spy on Yang Yue if he had the idea of annexing the Bohai Kingdom?"

Li Zhaoyang quietly left Bohai in order to seek a way to save the country.

Through a unique channel, she learned that the Tang Emperor named Yang Yue as the king of Bohai, for fear that Yang Yue would want to annex Bohai.

Inside the Bohai Sea, the royal power was lost, and the royal power was gradually hollowed out according to the control of traitorous ministers.

Therefore, he quietly left the Bohai Sea and blended into the Yanwang Mansion.

When he was silent for a while, Li Zhaoyang muttered to himself, "According to Yang Yue's words outside the state of Anshi, he is bound to win the Bohai stock."

When Xiu'er heard this, she asked, "Princess, how should the slave and maid reply?" Do you suggest that the Great King unite with the Khitan?"

"Khitan, they are all evil wolves that eat people and bones, unite with them, the Bohai Kingdom has long been divided, this princess would rather unite with the Xi people and Silla than be with the Khitan," mentioning the Khitan, Li Zhaoyang was annoyed in his heart.

Back then, without the support of the Khitan, the Jin brothers would not be able to control the power of the Bohai Sea at all, how could the Wang family be stripped of power.

Over the years, the Jin brothers have been looking forward to the Khitan horse and have long betrayed the heart of Bohai.

When Xiu'er heard this, she looked puzzled: "Could it be that the princess wants to be said by the king as soon as possible, and wants to unite with the Tang Dynasty, but to do this, the princess must..."

"No, this princess has her own opinions!" Without waiting for Xiu'er's words, Li Zhaoyang's words were angry and interrupted Xiu'er's words.

Xiu'er shrank her head and didn't dare to speak.

At this time, Li Zhaoyang turned around and asked, "How is my father's health?" The Kim brothers are still aggressive in the imperial court."

"Princess, according to the secret agent, the Jin brothers want to unite with the Khitan and launch a spring offensive against the Tang Dynasty!" Xiu'er replied, silent for a while, and said: "Jin Zongyuan claims to restore the former glory of the Bohai Kingdom and fight for the Bohai Sea!"

However, the slave suspects that Jin Zongyuan is speeding up the pace of seizing power, and is afraid that he wants to overthrow the dynasty and re-establish the country."

"Jin Zongyuan, Jin Zongxiong's wolf ambition has finally been exposed, and we must find ways to destroy the other party's tricks." Hearing this, Li Zhaoyang's face turned pale, and Jin Zongyuan wanted to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, but he would be retaliated by the Tang army.

What's more, Yang Yue led the troops to come to the Black Bone City, as long as Jin Zongyuan and Jin Zongxiong dared to lead the troops south with the Khitan and launch a spring offensive, regardless of whether the Tang Dynasty sent troops or not, according to Yang Yue's character, he would inevitably send troops to the Northern Expedition, at that time, the Bohai Kingdom would be dragged into the quagmire of war by Jin Zongyuan and Jin Zongxiong.

According to the current power of the Bohai Kingdom, it may be difficult to deal with the iron cavalry under Yang Yue.

What's more, as far as she knows, when Yang Yue led his troops to leave Youzhou, the Tang generals stationed in Xiangzhou, Lin Zhonghu, Lu Qizheng, had already led his troops north, and he must have controlled the front line of Youzhou.

Although the Tang Dynasty has just experienced civil strife, there are still heavy troops left in the frontier, the Khitan and the Bohai Sea, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get any bargains.

Xiu'er listened to the voice, with a worried face, and said: "Princess, the king's power has been weakened, and he only leads two percent of the troops of the Bohai Kingdom, and you and I are both women, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop Jin Zongyuan, Jin Zongxiong's conspiracy and tricks."

Hearing the sound, Li Zhaoyang's face became more and more pale, and gradually became difficult, what Xiu'er said was true, the royal family has too few troops, she is a woman, she has no cronies in the army, it is indeed very difficult to break the conspiracy of Jin Zongyuan and Jin Zongxiong.

At this time, Xiu'er said softly: "Princess, the slave maid has an idea!"

"What's the idea?" Li Zhaoyang asked, his tone anxious.

Xiu'er shrank her head and said with a little jealousy: "Princess, that day Yang Yue led the troops to fight with the Khitan wolf cavalry, and the princess witnessed it with her own eyes. Yang Yue's army is wide and wide, and he can confront the Khitan, and it is easy to clean up the Jin brothers. The slave suggested that the princess borrow troops from Yang Yue and go to the Bohai Sea, on the side of the Qing monarch!"

Borrowing soldiers, Qingjun's side?

When Li Zhaoyang learned of Xiu'er's proposal, his mind fell into deep thought.

According to the cavalry under Yang Yue's command, it will be able to hit the Jin brothers hard, if Yang Yue is willing to borrow troops, it will indeed clear the king's side.

However, Yang Yue is ambitious and comes to the Northeast in person, and he will definitely win the Northeast region.

If Yang Yue assists Bohai to calm down the civil strife, but instead takes the opportunity to sweep across the Bohai Sea, wouldn't it lead the wolf into the house.

Li Zhaoyang said to Xiu'er: "It's easy to ask God to send God, Yang Yue's ambition, you don't know it, he helped pacify the Jin brothers, and he will annex the Bohai Kingdom, but he will expel the evil wolf and attract Menghu, and the gains outweigh the losses."

At this time, Xiu'er said softly: "Actually, if the princess does what the king said, even if Yang Yue annexes the Bohai Kingdom, what will happen?"

This time, Li Zhaoyang did not reprimand Xiu'er, on the contrary, his brows were tightly knit and he was uncertain.

"Princess, this is the best way to do it right now!" Xiu'er urged.

Li Zhaoyang's thoughts were interrupted, he glared at Xiu'er, and said, "This matter is considered by the princess, but . . Until then, be cautious!"

Yang Yue, Yang Yue

Li Zhaoyang muttered in his mouth, opened the door and walked out.

In any case, what Xiu'er said is true, if you want to resolve the crisis of the Bohai Kingdom, Yang Yue is an extremely important external assistant.

It's just that when she thought of her father's proposal and Yang Yue's conduct, she was extremely unhappy in her heart.

Only as you say, wait and see what happens.

Yang Yue led the troops to rest in the Black Bone City for half a day, and when the soldiers recovered, they led the troops to set off for Dandong.

Dandong, an inconspicuous city in the capital of Anton, is not an exaggeration to call it a barren land.

When Yang Yue led his troops into the city, he was shocked by the sight, and there was no difference between him and Chang'an, and compared with Youzhou and Liaodong City, which was under the jurisdiction of the Andong Protectorate, he was afraid that there was still a difference between heaven and earth.

In the city, the Tang people, the Khitan people, the Silla people, the Bohai people, and the Xi people live together, as if they have entered a different race.

On both sides of the street, the houses are dilapidated, there are few pavilions, and the pedestrians in the street are in rags!

Yang Yue frowned, couldn't help but feel bitter, and became more and more dissatisfied with Yang Mingkun.

Lin Kaiyue saw Yang Yue's expression, and rode his horse close to report softly: "Lord Wang, the last general has sent someone to check, this place is not as good as Youzhou, the treasury finance is very small, and the army is not expanded, and the consumption of the government is stretched."

Yang Yue looked stunned, his face was puzzled, although he was dissatisfied with the situation in Dandong, he didn't expect it to be so bad.

I couldn't help asking: "What is the population, how much is the finance, and the people mainly work?"

I have a little understanding of Dandong and Yang Yue's later generations, but I don't know what to do at present.

Although the current Dandong City is very bad, he believes that after hard work, it will definitely change dramatically.

"Lord Wang, Dandong, the population is about 30,000, the money and grain in the government treasury are not traceable, and in addition, the officials are corrupt, and there is not much left." Lin Kaiyue was depressed, and he knew that he chose to attack Liaodong City, perhaps, it was more conducive to trying to grow stronger.

Sensing that Yang Yue's eyes were focused on Yang Yue, he hurriedly reported: "Lord Wang, there are many rivers and trees here, and most of the people make a living from agriculture and animal husbandry, fishing and hunting, and logging."

Hearing this, Yang Yue didn't ask, and ordered: "No matter what, since you are here, this is our foundation, and we must try to grow."

"What the prince said is true, before, the last general discussed with Lord Li, Lord Fan, and Lord Xiao, while our army is in full swing, continue to fight in the east and west, rapidly expand to the north, occupy the Governor of Liaodong, the Governor of Gobe, the Governor of Xincheng, and annex the entire territory of Andong Governor!"

"The use of foreign troops is inevitable, but the top priority is to carry out spring ploughing." Yang Yue pondered for a while, and said loudly.

Hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Dandong, all of them have to open their mouths to eat, in addition, the army fights, the money and grain consumed are innumerable, and the money and grain brought from Youzhou alone cannot gain a foothold in Dandong.

"If you feed your war with war, you will be able to feed your army!" Lin Kaiyue said.

If you start from scratch in Dandong, it will take countless hours and it will be easy to delay the expansion.

Yang Yue waved his hand and said: "Where is this king's mansion, this matter needs to be considered in the long run!"

"Oh, the last general will kill the city lord, send someone to clean up, and the prince will stay in the city lord's mansion!" Hearing the sound, Lin Kaiyue cut the railway.

This Yang Yue bowed his head and said: "General Lin, arrange for the soldiers to be repaired, and in the evening, gather the military generals of the civil ministers and go to the city lord's mansion to discuss matters."

"Yes!" Lin Kaiyue arched his hand.

Yang Yue did not delay any longer, and under the leadership of Lin Kaiyue, he went to the City Lord's Mansion.

Arrived at the city lord's mansion, accompanied by the family, quickly arranged, and soon, in the mansion, there was a slight taste of the Yanwang Mansion in Youzhou.

At this time, Yuwen Linxuan, Yue Nujiao, Li Zhaoyang, and Lin Miaoyin walked into the palace, arranged properly, stood in the courtyard, spread their arms, took a long breath, and sighed: "Although this place is barren, the environment is excellent, and it is wonderful."

Yang Yue stepped forward and said with a chuckle: "The climate here is room temperature, known as the north Jiangnan, the northeast of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the environment is indeed excellent, the rain is distinct, and the climate is excellent. Let's settle down temporarily, and in less than half a year, this place will be like Chang'an full of flowers."

"The people of Dandong are barren, the business is withering, and it is difficult to govern at all, the prince is so confident, is there a way?" Hearing Yang Yue's words, Li Zhaoyang turned around and inquired.

Yang Yue chuckled: "This king has his own clever plan, besides, after annexing the Andong Protectorate, it borders the Bohai Kingdom, and this king listens to the prosperity of the Bohai Sea. It's also a good choice."

Li Zhaoyang's face was not easy to detect, and immediately, he said in a coquettish voice: "Bohai Country, the territory is vast, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the money and food are abundant.

"No matter how hard the bones are, this king has gnawed them, how can you know if you don't try them?" Yang Yue's face was smiling, but the corners of his mouth were fierce.

Seeing Yang Yue and Li Zhaoyang's verbal war, Yue Nujiao interrupted the words of the two and said, "Lang Jun, continue to hurry, the boat and car are tired, the maids have prepared the meal, hurry up and eat, you girl, let's go together."

"Hmph, this girl doesn't sit at the same table with some fanatics!" Li Zhaoyang's beautiful eyes glared at Yang Yue, refusing Yue Nujiao's kindness.

Yang Yue shook his head slightly, and couldn't help but chuckle: "It's barren here, there are constant wars, we just entered the city, and there aren't many ingredients, Miss Li throws her sleeves and leaves, and at night, you may need to be hungry."

"That's right!" Yue Nujiao echoed with a smile.

Li Zhaoyang turned around, glanced at Yang Yue, hurriedly moved to Yue Nujiao's side, and said with a smile: "The princess is invited, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

After lunch, Yang Yue always stayed in the courtyard, thinking about making a living.

This method brought more than 400,000 people to Dandong, making Dandong overcrowded, food, accommodation, and army money and food, all need to be spent.

Throttling can delay consumption, but it is more important to find ways to open up revenue, increase fiscal revenue, and change the current passive state.

It wasn't until the evening that the guards informed Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Xuanheng and other generals that they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion one after another, and Yang Yue got up and went to the study.

At this moment, there were many civil servants and military generals in the study, and when they saw Yang Yue walking into the study, they all bowed their hands. Lord, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"

Yang Yue strode into the high platform and motioned for the ministers to sit down. He sat in the center of the study.

Yang Yue glanced coldly at the study, simple and shabby, simple benches, bookcases, even Chang'an Liupin study is not as good.

In this regard, Yang Yue was able to adapt, and his eyes shifted to the ministers, and said: "Tonight, this king summoned everyone to come, what does the so-called mean, everyone knows?"

The military generals present, whether Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Xuanheng, all knew what Yang Yue meant by hurriedly summoning everyone to come.

It's just that the situation in Dandong is beyond everyone's expectations, so it is difficult for people to adapt to the difference between seclusion and seclusion for the time being.

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Yang Yue couldn't help but ask:

"Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, don't you have an idea?"
