After Ling Jing left, Yu Wenhua couldn't stay any longer, and told Dong Ke to prepare horses and return to Hedong that day. No, not to return to Luzhou, Hedong, but directly from the official road into the Taihang Mountain to Xue Wanche to guard the Jinding Village, he wanted to follow the Jin King Yang Guang's idea of forced landing by force, lead the Taihang Mountain people and horses east out of Taihang to take the entire territory of Jizhou, and form a military pressure on the Hejian Mansion on the side of the sea, so as to realize the strategic intention of the lord to occupy the entire territory of Jizhou in one fell swoop, and include all the north of the Yellow River into the sphere of influence of the King of Jin.

Jinyang Mansion.

At this time, Li Yuan was so angry that he slapped the table.

"Are you saying that Your Majesty has an edict above the court to let his son Yang Guang retire and rule for a long time? Didn't even make a holy decree? What if Yang Guang resisted the decree and was disrespectful, but he didn't mention it? Li Yuan patted the table and asked the messenger who brought back the news from Chang'an.

"Duke Tang, although His Majesty has not issued a holy decree, but he personally ordered the edict above the court, so that the Huangmen Sili Gong Gong Gong Gong Yan who was ordered to go to Luzhou reprimanded the King of Jin Chitose in person, and the tone was indeed very harsh, and the lower officials thought that the King of Jin would not dare not speak from the Holy Lord."

"Ahh His father and son turned the occupation of my Changzhi County into a family affair, and this father-son double reed is really wonderful! Can't even see it? What should this be? Seeing his father and son fighting on the sidelines, his father still lost Changzhi County after all! "Li Yuanjiu has been walking in the court for a long time, and he has long been familiar with the mysteries in his heart, how can he be a person who is easy to deceive. Thinking of this layer is actually angry and laughing.

"Uncle Yue, since this matter is already like this, we can only wait and see what happens. The Jin army entered Changzhi to seize various fortresses, and the intention of preventing us from recovering by force was clearly revealed, and there was nothing to be done in a hurry. It is better to prepare in advance and befriend the Turks so as not to suffer from the attack from the north and the south. Chai Shao saw that the matter had come to this point, and the civil and military methods could not deal with the Jin army that invaded Changzhi County, as if this Changzhi had become a fact in Hedong, and had to hurriedly remind Li Yuan not to be attacked on both sides, and he had to make peace with the Turks in the north before alleviating the pressure.

"Hyun Zhen, what do you think?" Xuan Zhen is the word of Shangshu Pei Lian.

"Tang Gong, now that my Jinyang and Hedong are riding tigers, they have become mortal enemies, and they can't coordinate, so I have to make friends with the Turkic Shabalu Khan as soon as possible according to Sichang's words, so that I can transfer troops south to prevent Hedong from invading my Jinyang again, and I can also deploy troops into Hetao as soon as possible to seek the strategy of Wuyuan County." Pei Lian's words also reminded Li Yuan not to manage Changzhi County for the time being, and he couldn't make enemies on both sides at the same time.

"Hey! Accordingly, the prince sent people to the Turkic tent of Northland Har and Lincheng to meet Shabal Khan, with a view to reaching a non-intrusion agreement as soon as possible. Sichang, you should also come up with a plan to capture Wuyuan City as soon as possible, and just wait for the time to capture Wuyuan and the Hetao area, so as to make up for the pain of my loss of long-term rule. Li Yuan sighed and said firmly, with the idea of a complete showdown with the Sui Dynasty in his eyes.

Not to mention that Li Yuan forced himself to suffer the dumb loss of losing Changzhi County, he turned around and talked about Yang Eryi and his party who were about to arrive in Donglai County.

On the road in the past few days, Yang Er made up for the information collected by Li Taizhi about Wang Bo of Donglai County. Wang Bo's personal image gradually became clear, Wang Bo is very different from Dou Jiande in Hejian, this person attaches more importance to commerce and trade, more emphasis on military construction, and has money in his hands not only to build nearly 50,000 Donglai soldiers, but also a thousand Dongying Fusang and Goryeo mixed mercenaries to maintain the safety of maritime trade. It can be said that many of the political measures that Wang Bo has taken in Donglai County are relatively advanced, and not all of the revenue from his treasury comes from the peasants on the land of Donglai, but a large part comes from maritime trade, which is what Yang Er is very interested in.

"If you can persuade this Wang Bo to be used by this king, you can make him the minister of my Great Sui maritime trade, talent!" This is Yang Er's evaluation of Wang Bo in the car.

"Big brother, it's convenient to enter Donglai County, and you can get to Fuzhilai Prefecture in 2 days at most." Yu Wenhualong came to the side of Yang Er's carriage and whispered.

"Okay, let's rest in front of Guanyang County today." Seeing that he was about to arrive at Laizhou City, which belonged to the coastal city of Yantai in Shandong in the future, he couldn't help but have a kind of anticipation. This Laizhou is one of the best port open cities, the sea route to Goryeo and Dongying is not far away, the future development of sea trade will be great!

After drinking and eating, it was still early, and Yang Er had the interest of patrolling the city, so he beckoned the fat man Zhong Jian and Yu Wenhualong to accompany him to the street to visit the beauties.

When I went downstairs, I passed the bar, and I saw a very handsome man dressed in white talking to the innkeeper.

"Old beard, my brother asked you to go to the mansion to be the head of the bookkeeper, what did you think about? My brother is optimistic about you, so you should not refuse. ”

"Little ---, little young master, I am looking down on the prince, and Xiao Ke is about to leave for the Laizhou Mansion on an errand. It's just that some things have been delayed for a while, so don't blame. ”

"Well, let's go back to the house with Young Master Ben early tomorrow morning. Fetch some wine and food, this young master is a little hungry and thirsty. ”

"Okay, young master, please sit down, and the old man will arrange it."

Seeing that these two people asked and answered, Yang Er was also curious. Should the Laizhou government be on a bad errand? Wasn't he requisitioned by the so-called prince Wang Bo, the head of the bookkeeper? Hehe! It turned out that the shopkeeper of the inn was asked to go to the palace as an accountant. Yang Er thought in his heart, and did not stop, walking past this young handsome boy. Just one glance at the young man knew that this man was dressed as a woman. I have watched many books and film and television dramas in later generations, although this young man is dressed as a man, but the exposed earlobes are obviously perforated, and his voice is not said for the time being, and his long snow-white neck can't see the Adam's apple at all, it's no wonder if it's not a woman! Not to mention the scent that soaked into its nostrils as it walked by.

Yang Er didn't break it, and walked past him. But I couldn't help but have an idea in my heart, maybe blending into the Laizhou palace like this shopkeeper Hu Tou is a way to get close to Wang Bo. After entering Laizhou City tomorrow, I will see if there is a chance, maybe I can use Li Taizhi's connections here, didn't I come here to meet Wang Bo, the king of Donglai?

This small county, which is close to Laizhou City, is politically harmonious, the people are peaceful, and the small streets are not big, but they are prosperous. Along the way, there are also shops that have been brought in from overseas, such as ginseng from Goryeo on the Korean Peninsula and slave girls bought by Dongying dealers. After a long walk, he led Zhong Jian and Hualong back to the inn. Seeing that the woman pretending to be a young boy and a servant were still drinking and eating in the hall, Yang Er was interested and ordered Hualong and Zhong Jian to sit at the table next to him, and also ordered some wine and food to eat.

Accosted? This pretended boy is not an ordinary person, how can he get this person's idea? Yang Er was thinking about it while accompanying Hualong and Zhong Jian.

"Shopkeeper, do you have five grains of spring wine in the capital here? If so, go up to the two altars with me first. "Yang Er thought that he had to make some movement, and he couldn't drink with his head bored! A few cups of yellow soup can always think of a way to talk, just the so-called wine is bold! Try it!

"Guest officer, I have a few jars of Wuliang spring wine in this store, but it is more expensive than ordinary wine, is it still necessary for the guest officer?"

"Huh! Just go up to a few altars, my son is not short of money. So saying, he took out an ingot of gold weighing about ten taels from his bosom, slapped it on the table, and let the innkeeper see it.

Such a bold statement had already made the broad boy at the next table listen to it, and he couldn't help but look up at Yang Er and the others, especially Yang Er and the others a few more times, and then showed a smile on his face and continued to bow his head and drink.

"Young master, this beard is really underwhelming, he has good wine but he doesn't drink it with the young master." The slave who accompanied the wine on one side was a little more vulgar, but he was also dressed as a man.

"It's okay, there are a lot of people in the house, it's better to drink less spirits when you go out, and eat more vegetables." The white-clad girl whispered to her slave.

Without further ado, you have to hurry up to do the play, lest the audience leave. Wuliang spring wine was poured into the bowl, a whole bowl, Yang Er took it and poured it into his mouth proudly, knocking and knocking, and drank all the wine in this bowl in a few sips. Hualong and Zhong Jian on the side were quite surprised, looked at each other, and Hualong hurriedly filled the bowl for Yang Er.

Goo dong goo dong, Yang Er raised the wine bowl and swallowed it in a few sips, and shouted "Good wine!" in his mouth! Wine! "Pretending to be a little drunk and wandering.

"Young master, drink slowly. Bite the beef. Hua Long hurriedly sandwiched the beef beef on the plate into Yang Er's bowl, and he was still shocked in his heart, he had never seen his eldest brother drink like this.

"Huh! How can you be happy today without drinking this good wine? This son also has a drinking song, you wait to listen to it. Yang Er pretended to be drunk, so he wanted to recite a poem, hoping that the girl next door could understand the rhythm of poetry.

"I live in Beihaijun Nanhai, and I can't send geese to pass on the book. A glass of wine in the spring breeze of peach and plum, and ten years of night rain in the rivers and lakes. Running a family but with four walls, governing the country is not a three-fold humerus. Thinking about reading, the head is white, and the ape across the stream is crying miasma. Yang Er casually read out the poem of Huang Tingjian of the Song Dynasty, the Beihai in this poem is a county under the jurisdiction of Donglai County, and now it is the season when the peach and plum blossoms bloom in spring, and it is appropriate to read this poem.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Er finished reading, the son-in-law next door said softly: "Good poem!" I never thought that I had such talents in Donglai. With that, he couldn't help but get up and walk towards Yang Eryi's table.

"Brother Tai, Xiao Ke Wang Dai, a person from Lai Prefecture, please ask for the name of Brother Tai?" The young lady asked softly.

Yang Er was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that this trick was really easy to use, this ancient woman was really easy to deceive! Hurriedly got up and saluted back: "It was Brother Wang, Xiaosheng came to Chang'an, first arrived in Donglai, and his surname was Yang Mingkuo. Fang Cai is drunk and arrogant, don't blame Brother Wang. ”

"Oh! Brother Yang, the younger brother is polite. I don't know what Brother Yang is doing when he comes to Donglai? The younger brother is quite popular here, but he can help Brother Yang. The son-in-law Wang Dai looked at Yang Er and said.

"Huh! Thank you Wang Xiandi for your kindness, Yang is just going here for the family business, and there is no big deal. Yang Er said casually.

When Wang Dai heard what he said, she knew that this person was a rich child, and she took advantage of the good season to travel around the mountains and rivers, so she lost some intimacy. said: "I see, this is not far from Laizhou City, but half a day's journey, Laizhou is very different from here, if Brother Yang is free, he can go to Laizhou to see." ”

"Thank you, brother, tomorrow I have the intention to go to Nalai Prefecture, and by the way, see if there are any business opportunities." Yang Er replied with a smile.

"Then tomorrow morning is not as good as before, the little brother is about to return to Laizhou."

"So good! Tomorrow you can travel together. Yang Er was not in a hurry, so he agreed.

"Okay, Brother Yang drank slowly, and the younger brother went back to the room to rest. Please! ”

"Brother Wang Xian, please!"

Watching this tomboy named Wang Dai go upstairs with a servant, Yang Er couldn't help but feel amused. This woman's voice is so obvious, what kind of man is she pretending! Who is she?

Early in the morning of the second day, Yang Er and his entourage dispersed, Zhong Jian, Chuchen, Abeiyi and Yu Wenhualong still accompanied Yang Er, and Laihu'er, Zuo Tiancheng, Luo Shixin and 6 family generals dragged them behind and followed far away. After all, when you arrive in a strange place, there are more people and big goals, which is easy to arouse the suspicion of people here. In the final analysis, this Wang Bo is not the head of Donglai County personally sealed by the imperial court, but belongs to the party that forcibly occupies the land of the Great Sui, and such a strong man is very careful with the people who enter his own territory. Fortunately, Yang Eryi was dressed as a rich boy and scholar, and it was not too eye-catching to bring a maid and 3 entourages.

That Wang Dai is still dressed as a man today, and the master and servant each ride a horse and walk with Yang Er. The two chatted intentionally or unintentionally as they walked on their horses. The avenue leading to Laizhou City is quite wide and smooth, the people and merchants come and go in an endless stream, and there are many villagers working in the land on both sides of the avenue, which is a peaceful atmosphere.

"Brother Yang, what do you think of this scene in Laizhou?" Wang Dai couldn't help but ask when she saw Yang Er looking around.

"The people perform their duties, each has his own life, is content, and is thriving!" Yang Er said sincerely, the perception of this road is very good, and it is no less than the Hedong County he manages.

"The county keeper here is considerate of the people, and almost no land tax is collected, how can the people be uneasy." After Wang Dai heard what Yang Eryi said, she couldn't help but look happy and couldn't help but say.

"This place is stronger than Luoyang and Jinan, two big states! Lord Wang Bo is really a minister of the country! Yang Er is now more and more interested in Wang Bo.

"Hehehehehe! The minister of the country? Brother Yang's words are wrong! This Donglai County is far away from the imperial city, although it belongs to the Sui land, but it is not under its control, even the emperor's personal Jinan Mansion Yin will not be able to stretch out his hand. Wang Dai actually laughed out loud after listening to Yang Er's words, and even the maid behind him was laughing secretly.

"Brother Wang Xian, it's not that my brother disrespects you here The king of Laizhou, this Great Sui Dynasty will not be long in the world, the war will stop, and the imperial court will need several years to rest with the people and restore the national strength. Even when the Southern Dynasty had two more years at most, the unification of the country was the trend of the times. If Lord Wang is unwilling to be an enemy of the Great Sui, he will return to obedience in the morning, so as not to collapse this peaceful and prosperous world. Yang Er put away his smile and said to Wang Dai with a serious face.

"Huh! Brother Yang is too worried, if the Great Sui Imperial Court wants to move the king of Laizhou, it needs to move the king of Luoyang and the king of Jinan before he can go to this Laizhou city, and it is too early to pay tribute. After ----Wang Dai dropped such a sentence angrily, he rushed to the front, and he could already see the gate of Laizhou City from a distance.

Seeing that the son-in-law Wang Dai accelerated towards the city gate, Yang Er and his party were all riding horses, and they couldn't help but whip themselves and rushed towards Laizhou City.
