After listening to Liu Mu's words, Feng Zhidai didn't have any good ideas.

What's more, Datang only wants to build a port on the other side of the strait to control the strait, and the rest is not important.

At present, the population of Datang has reached its limit, and it will not be able to expand its territory for ten years.

The Six Edicts are the last battle to expand the territory within ten years.

Liu Mu stayed at Temasek, and according to the plan brought back by Woodwally, a few days later the golden fleet, armed to the teeth and escorted by Dugu Shura himself, appeared in Malacca.

Yanagi's boat is located at the exit of the Strait of Malacca.

Naturally, a ship can't block the strait, and ordinary merchant ships will bypass and enter the port, Dugu Shura knew Liu Mu on a boat, and immediately ordered the fleet to enter Temasek Military Port.

In the room of Dugu Shura in the flagship, the three treasures of the Saracen Kingdom are contained in three iron boxes.

"Go home!" After looking at three things, Liu Mu only said these two words from his mouth.

Dugu Shura ordered immediate supplies, and left the port early the next morning and went straight to Huating Port, and a lightly armed fast ship went to Huating to prepare first. Feng Zhidai transferred two battalions of the South China Sea Navy Division to escort Dugu Shura.

The next day, before the fleet set off, at the strong request of Dugu Shura, Liu Mu gave up his boat and got on Dugu Shura's ship.

"If you have something, just say it!"

Liu Mu didn't have to guess to know that Dugu Shura must have something, otherwise he wouldn't have left himself on the battleship.

"What do you think about that? It was about the letter of the Roman Emperor. ”

"Benefits, what good we can get from this, just a little bit of gold is not attractive at all. Unless......" Liu Mu stopped and looked at Dugu Shura with a smile on his face.

Dugu Shura asked anxiously, "Unless what?" ”

"Unless Chirac is slightly ambitious and dominates the Mediterranean. He's just guarding that little bit of place at the door of his house, I might as well support the Visigothic king to become the hegemon of Europe, what I want, what I want is interests, long-term benefits. There is no friendship between countries, only interests. ”

Liu Mu's words completely subverted Dugu Shura's morality.

In Dugu Shura's view, the Tang Dynasty and Eastern Rome are friends and brothers.

"This, this is not good!"

"Although you are a brother, I still have to say two words to you very politely."

"What word?"

"Stupid."

After Liu Mu finished saying stupidity, he stopped talking, and Dugu Shura sat there for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Liu Mu also ignored Dugu Shura, in fact, Liu Mu didn't know how to instill dirty political ideas into the head of Dugu Shura, who only knew chivalry.

In foreign wars, chivalry is not impossible, but everything is based on the national righteousness and the country's interests.

Dugu Shura suddenly felt that Liu Mu was very unfamiliar, and he was no longer the Liu Mu who was desperate to bring eight hundred Ding into the Turks because of the injury of the sword.

After three days of stalemate between the two people, Dugu Shura came to look for Liu Mu again.

"I forgot to tell you something, that Viscount Romeo had brought with him many precious Visigoths and treasures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt, and the King of Yan had granted him a chance to meet the saint with my fleet. At the same time, it was also recognized for his contribution to the overseas trade of the Tang Dynasty by organizing hundreds of aristocratic merchants in the Western Mediterranean. ”

"Romeo is a very important pawn."

Liu Mu finally found an opportunity to speak: "In a word, I want to praise him as the Visigothic king!" ”

Dugu Shura's mind instantly flashed many names, many of which had disappeared and turned into corpses.

For example, Soga Ezo, Soga Ling, and Hayato Satsuma.

Alive, Kindman and Soga Budzi are simply turned into a vase, just to look good.

"In the first step, he is about to become an earl, the earl of the Tang Dynasty, and has a small piece of land blessed by the Tang Dynasty. Don't tell me you don't know, he's now a pious disciple of the Daomen, and his name is Qingfeng. ”

Dugu Shura nodded: "I know that among the merchants who follow him, at least a hundred of them and their families have their own Dao names. ”

A smile appeared on Yanagi's face.

Dugu Shura was also very depressed because of this matter, and he said to Liu Mu: "The Tao they understand is a little different from the Tao I understand, and these goods have deviated from the understanding of the Tao. There was a merchant who thought he was right, and he thought that to be a businessman was to strive to be a good and great businessman, and that was the original meaning of the Tao. ”

Yanagi asked rhetorically, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"This ......"

Dugu Shura was asked.

Liu Mu continued: "He must have said that the Tao gives birth to all things, and everything is born because of the Tao. He is also a part of the Tao, and as a merchant, he guards the way of a merchant, and he guards the way of a merchant with his heart and righteousness for the reasons of fairness, justice, and benevolence. ”

Dugu Shura didn't expect Liu Mu to say this, and after listening to it, he said: "It seems that this is what he meant." ”

Liu Mu pretended to be profound: "Presumably, what Romeo said is also the way of the monarch and the minister, the way is the way, the way is very good!" ”

"If you are not convinced, then find out your master and talk about it."

Dugu Shura's master is Xie Yingdeng, Lao Xie no longer wants to be one of the four heroes of the Tang Dynasty, nor does he want to be the first magic arrow in the world, he just wants to be a Taoist.

However, Xie Yingdeng seems to have really achieved a positive result, and many people in later generations deified him and called him an immortal ancestor.

Dugu Shura then said, "Then I'll go back and ask the teacher." ”

"I'll also go to see him, and by the way, ask Lao Xie to accept a few more disciples, that Romeo is very suitable. If possible, I also plan to fool Lao Xie to the Mediterranean, ask him to open the altar to accept disciples, and create a human myth. ”

"This ......" Dugu Shura was speechless.

When Liu Mu was still on his way back to Chang'an, the first battle of the Six Edicts began.

The first battle was fought by Woodwally and Konoe Tadahito at the same time, one on the west and the other on the east.

Li Ke did not wear the armor that Hua Yuan had specially made for him.

There are two reasons for this.

Gorgeous and special armor is perfect for both command and charge when you are the commander in chief and protected by your own soldiers, but here, gorgeous and special armor is equivalent to telling the enemy that there is a good prey here, you guys.

Another reason is that Li Ke chose the same armor as Wood and others, to show that he was a sergeant at this time, rather than the son of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, which was both moved and emotionally closer to Wood and others.

Li Ke's plan is not particularly complicated, but in this era when communication is not clever, it requires a certain command ability to cooperate tacitly.

First, a small team was sent to quietly cross the river at night, and then dozens of ropes were tied to the big trees on the opposite bank and the ropes were sunk into the river.
