"Bengal, of course!"

Li Gao said without hesitation.

"Well, you're a temperance envoy!"

Yang Feng said unexpectedly.

Li Gao is now also a feudal town, he is Qingqi Denglai Zimi six states festival envoy, ruling the entire Shandong Peninsula plus Jinan and Zibo, Qingzhou Zhiyidu, Qizhou Zhilicheng, Zizhou Zhizichuan, Dengzhou Penglai, Laizhou Zhidonglai, Mizhou Zhucheng, Qingqi two states are big states, the population of these two states alone is nearly one million, the combined population of the six states is close to two million, such a huge territory is so simply abandoned It is very surprising.

"Brother, I don't know, my festival makes it impossible to control other places except Denglai and the two places!"

Li Gao said with a wry smile.

Well, the era of the proud warriors has begun.

Under the bewitchment of the Goguryeo general Hou Xiyi and others, Xuanzhi, the deputy protector of Andong, poisoned Liu Zhengchen, Hou Xiyi and others supported him as the envoy of the festival, and Dong Qin of Liu Zhengchen's faction was angry and led thousands of Han people in Yingzhou to cross to the south, and formed a group together with Tian Shengong, the rebel general who had previously surrendered to the imperial court, and actually controlled Qingqizi and other prefectures. Although Li Gao is a Jiedu envoy, his subordinates are all sailors, and he can't confront these proud soldiers and fierce generals who were originally the elite of the Pinglu Army, so he can only use Dong Qin as the deputy envoy and Tian Shengong as the Duzhi soldier and horse envoy, and throw the defense along the Qizhou to them, and he is the captain of the transport in Dengzhou, but fortunately, Dong Qin still has to rely on him to receive military supplies from the south, so he respects him, but in fact, it has become a warlord.

This is the inevitable result of troubled times, and this is only the beginning, as long as the troubled times do not end, militarization will only intensify.

"What is the current situation in Pinglu?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Wang Xuanzhi's health is not good, in fact, he is just a puppet, and the real power is in the hands of the Goguryeo generals led by Hou Xiyi, but they are greedy for the money and food of the imperial court, but they are also quite obedient, and occasionally they will go south to attack Shi Siming's control area."

Li Gao said.

"Then let them be, anyway, the court doesn't have the energy to deal with them now."

Yang Feng said.

His requirements for Pinglu are like this, even when Liu Zhengchen was before, there was no difference between it and the warlords, Dong Qin's southward movement was just to transfer control to the hands of the Goguryeo generals, as long as Hou Xiyi and these people have not betrayed the Tang Dynasty, then they will tolerate it for the time being, this kind of lonely place behind the enemy, there is no need to deal with it at present, there is not enough army to fill it, dealing with them will only cheapen the surrounding Khitan and Xi people, the Goguryeo people are still obedient, and when they have time to deal with them, it is nothing more than an appointment and dismissal order, If you dare to resist the imperial court, you will be destroyed in name.

The same is true for Dong Qin.

It is normal for Li Gao to not be able to suppress these arrogant soldiers.

Who are these people?

This is all a lifetime of fighting with those chaotic and various forces in the northeast, Dong Qin can beat the Xi cavalry so that the leader is sacrificed by him, how can he serve Li Gao, who has never actually been on the battlefield.

Including his subordinates, they all crawled out of the pile of dead people, how could Li Gao's paper-armored Jiangnan Navy soldiers suppress it? To put it mildly, just those veterans of the Pinglu Army, one can fight ten sailors on land, this kind of barbaric and fierce veteran oil, I am afraid that only Yang Feng's talent can be subdued, Li Gao is definitely not good.

"Then I will play the sage, re-take you as the sailor of the festival, Denglai sailor to the south, the matter of transporting grain to the Qingqi festival, now Henan has been pacified, Cao Yun is unimpeded and does not need to be transported by sea, just leave some ships to transport grain to Pinglu."

Yang Feng said.

Li Heng has given him full authority to be responsible for the battle in Tubo, but he is still the deputy marshal, Li Jiao is still the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, but he does not directly command the army, Guo Ziyi is in charge of the war in Hebei with the deputy marshal in Luoyang, and An Qingxu's troops have each other's offensive and defensive but maintain an advantage, and are currently mobilizing the army of various Jiedu envoys to prepare to besiege Xiangzhou, as for whether the battle of Xiangzhou will blow again is unknown, originally Yang Feng's supervisor Yu Chaoen was favored by Li Heng because of his brilliant achievements, and has been appointed as the envoy of the Guanjun as the supervisor. The battle against Tubo was in charge of Yang Feng, the deputy marshal, and the three towns of the Western Regions, Longyou, Hexi, Annan, Lingnan, and the naval divisions of the sea route were all under his control.

Of course, it's just a name.

Even in modern times, it is impossible to command an army in this way, and in this era when there is no telegraph, how can he command such a theater of operations spanning more than 5,000 kilometers? It would take months to send his order from the Western Regions to Annan! What he can actually command is the three towns of the Western Regions.

This deputy marshal is just fooling the common people.

After all, the king of Nanyang is so miraculous that suddenly driving people back to the Western Regions will make the people criticize Li Heng.

"One more thing, I need shipbuilders."

Then Yang Feng said.

"This is easy, there are not many boats to build in the shipyards, and the idle young men were recruited by me into the navy, but those real old craftsmen are relying on the construction of some boats to maintain, I still supervise the construction of the envoy, and my brother can use an order."

Li Gao said.

"But what about letting them go to the river?"

Yang Feng said.

"To the river? What is the use of building a ship in the desert in the middle of the river? ”

Li Gao was stunned.

"Who says you can't build a ship in the desert? Who said you can't have a sea in a desert? Have you forgotten that there is also a Caspian Sea on my map, and that there is a Black Sea to the west of the Caspian Sea that leads directly to Ctessy? I not only want to build ships, but also to build ships on a large scale, but I promised the Emperor that within ten years I would usher in the Heavenly Horses for the Emperor, and it is certainly unlikely that I will hit Tessie by land within ten years, but it is possible for me to let the fleet sail from the Black Sea to Tessie within ten years. ”

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Since it is for the emperor, then the little brother must do his best to help!"

Li Gao said.

After solving his side, Yang Feng immediately sent a letter to his fans, and then his fans forwarded it to Li Heng, on the grounds that Henan Pingding Caoyun was re-unblocked and no longer needed sea transportation, he withdrew the Denglai Naval Division to the south, and split the Jiangnan East Road to set up Zhejiang East and West Roads and Fujian Province, with Li Gao as the Zhejiang East Jie Du Envoy, and the original Denglai Water Division became the Zhejiang Water Division. The Zhejiang Naval Division and the Annan Naval Division formed an expeditionary naval division, with Li Gao as the Jiedu envoy, and led the two towns to escort the camp expedition to Tianzhu formed by the three towns of Annan, Lingnan and eastern Zhejiang, and Gao Xianzhi was the envoy of the Annan Jiedu as the envoy of the camp, and the water and land armies were on an expedition to Tianzhu.

Yang Feng led the three towns of the Western Regions and the armies of the subordinate states to the south from Hezhong, and entered Tianzhu through Tocharian and Gaofu Prefectures.

Anyway, that's his plan.

The northern front was handed over to the Longyou and Hexi armies to take defense and block the Tibetan army from the plateau.

In fact, according to this plan, the main force to attack north from India has to be Yang Feng's Three Towns Army in the Western Regions, Gao Xianzhi and Li Gao's main task is to control the base in Bengal, which is also no way, after all, if you want to be able to fight, you have to be Yang Feng's subordinates, especially this kind of lone army to go deep, and it is also a battle that goes deep into the mountains of hundreds of miles, so it is safer for King Yang to play, this is a plan that has been prepared for many years and has cost countless financial resources to prepare.

This is only allowed to succeed and not to fail.

Of course, this is for Yang Feng, for Li Heng is not a big deal, if he succeeds, he no longer has to worry about the threat of Tubo, and failure is also a blow to Yang Feng's reputation, which is also what he is willing to see, so Li Heng has always held an indifferent attitude towards this 10,000-mile expedition in the east and west, no matter how Yang Feng likes to toss, anyway, victory or defeat is a good thing for him.

I'm afraid he would prefer to fail.

After all, Tubo's threat to him was not as great as Yang Feng's threat to him.

After sending the letter, Yang Feng did not stay and wait for Li Mi's reply, but took the warship provided by Li Gao to go south directly, taking advantage of the northwest wind in the late autumn season, and soon crossed the mouth of the Yangtze River, starting from the Mingzhou shipyard to collect shipbuilding craftsmen, these shipyards are still under Li Gao's jurisdiction, and all the craftsmen are subordinate to the superintendent. Although the construction of large sea ships has been stopped, but the construction of cao boats has not stopped, now whether it is the Yangtze River, the canal or the Han River, all the cao ships are changing to new boats, and these cao boats support the wartime Tang Dynasty, all the money and grain looted from the Jianghuai are constantly transported to Hebei and Guanzhong, ensuring that millions of troops fight.

But after all, it is not the time to go all out to build ships on a large scale before, with Li Gao's order, with the prestige of the king of Nanyang, those shipyard officials who are also trained by Yang Feng himself are still very cooperative with their teachers, as for those craftsmen......

They don't have much to say.

Besides, Yang Feng still has a high salary, he is the protector of the Tang Dynasty in the minds of the people, he takes out gold, silver, land and even women to lure, there will always be some craftsmen who are impressed, although the number is certainly not too much, but Yang Feng was not prepared to ask for too much, for him there are hundreds of craftsmen, first start to build bird ships or lucky ships in the Caspian Sea, so that while building more craftsmen, and after he captures the base on the Black Sea, there will be almost enough manpower to make new sailing ships.

By the time he left the last boat yard in Zhangzhou, he had already recruited more than 500 craftsmen, who were in charge of the officials who patted him on the back and the directors of the banks in various places, and sent them to Runzhou together with their families, where they were boarded and sent to Chengdu, where they were handed over to Yang Yan, who was still in Chengdu, and Yang Yan would arrange to send them to the river again.

Yang Feng doesn't care about these.

Anyway, in the next year, they will reach Broken Leaves.

And he continued south.

The next stop was Guangzhou, but when he took the thousand-ton giant ship provided by Li Gao, escorted by eight bird boats, he went up the Pearl River, and finally saw the city of Guangzhou in the distance.

"What's going on?"

He looked at the billowing smoke of Guangzhou City and said in astonishment.

"It's not good, the Hu people in the city have rebelled!"

Suddenly he remembered something,
