Chapter 187: Declaration of War

The fluttering banner symbolizes that the walls of the city have been breached. In this era, street fighting rarely occurs, because street fighting requires a huge fighting spirit. It usually appears when it comes to life and death, and the defender of Bo Fan City doesn't have that much personal charm, not to mention that he is dead now.

Before noon, the national flag of the Tang Dynasty had been set up in the county government, and the Bohai State had lost control of Bo Fan City......

…………

"What did you say?" Da Feng excitedly grabbed the collar of his entourage and lifted the other party high.

"Your Highness! Calm down! The deputy envoy on the side hurriedly persuaded.

Da Feng descendant is from the royal family, he has been learning etiquette since he was sensible, and living in an environment full of etiquette, he soon realized that his action was too rude.

"I'm sorry!" The Great Seal descendant sent his hand away and took a step back, at this time the Great Seal Descendant had already regained his due calm and posture.

"Don't dare to be!" The attendant hurriedly replied.

"It's only been three days! The city has been occupied by the Tang army! But Li Cunhuan himself is still in Liaodong City, I dare to guarantee this! I just saw him! Dafeng thought distressedly.

The entourage hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Actually, it is correct to say that the city fell at noon two days ago, and the news has only come now, and it is said that it was raided by the Tang army in the early morning. ”

The deputy envoy on the side couldn't help frowning, and muttered: "That means that now the Tang army has surrounded the Yalu Mansion in Xijing, and even ......"

Although the deputy envoy's last sentence was not spoken, everyone understood what it meant, and even the Yalu Mansion in Xijing had fallen. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but turn pale, even the Great Seal descendant.

Xijing Yalu Mansion is the capital of the Bohai Kingdom, the geographical location is extremely important, and it is also located in the Yalu River Basin, which is the granary of the southern part of the Bohai Kingdom. More importantly, the occupation of Yalu Mansion almost cut off the land transportation from Nanhai Prefecture in Nanjing to the Bohai Kingdom. Although the shipbuilding industry in Nanhai Province is well developed, it can barely maintain the connection between the capital and Nanhai Province by sea.

But after all, this kind of connection is not as reliable as the land route, and it is likely that Lu Long and Li Cunhuan will lure him to his advantage and betray Bohai. It will even be captured by Lu Long by land, after all, no matter how strong the naval transportation capacity of the Bohai State is, it is impossible to transport a large number of reinforcements to Nanhai Province, so it is not possible to recover Yalu Province in a short time, so it is only a matter of time before Bohai loses Nanhai Province.

Although the loss is only two governments, from a political point of view, it is only the loss of two companions, although it is shocking, but it is not to lose its foundation. After all, the two prefectures occupied by Li Cunhuan were only about one-tenth of the territory of the Bohai Kingdom.

But these are all superficial, the economic difference between the north and the south of the Bohai country is huge, the north mainly relies on the export of raw materials, to put it simply, just like iron miners, a pound of iron is sold for only one or two yuan, or even less. In the south, the processing industry and agriculture are mainly carried out, and they are the processing workers, who make iron into automobiles, a small car weighing hundreds of kilograms, which also requires at least tens of thousands of yuan. The profit between them is not generally large.

More than 70 percent of the tax revenue of the Bohai State comes from only one-third of the land in the south of the Bohai State, and the further south it is, the more important it is, especially Bo Yang City, which is an important port for trade between the Bohai State and Qingzhou.

"Your Highness, please calm down! Now whether the Yalu Mansion is captured or besieged, even if the Longquan Mansion is captured, what can His Highness do now? The only thing Your Highness can do now is to wait! The deputy envoy on one side spoke slowly.

"Wait?" Da Feng walked a few steps anxiously, and said restlessly: "Why do you make me wait?" Now I'm an ant on a hot pan! ”

"Yes, the only thing Your Highness needs to do now is to wait. Otherwise, would His Highness go and question Li Cunhuan now? Isn't that ridiculous? The deputy envoy did not care about the face of the great feudal descendant, and said mercilessly.

Dafeng's face froze, he knew that what the deputy envoy said was not wrong, no matter how high-sounding a war started in his name, it could not hide his purpose of containing interests, and righteousness could start a war, but it could not end a war.

Seeing that the Great Seal descendant stood still, the deputy envoy finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness, no matter what you need now, what you need is to wait. If the Tang army is defeated, then there will be a time when Your Highness will appear. But if the Tang Army and the Bohai Army are deadlocked, it is also the time for Your Highness to appear, but if the worst happens, then Your Highness, you can only flee to a foreign land! ”

Da Feng nodded silently, glanced at the deputy envoy gratefully, and said, "Thank you for your persuasion!" Uhuagai! You are not a loser, you are an apprentice with the first wise man of the Bohai Kingdom! I think the title of the first wise man of the Bohai Kingdom will also fall on your head in the future! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment!" Wu Huagai was not excited by the appreciation of the Great Feng Descendants, he only had a deep concern for the future, the war hundreds of miles away had not only affected their fate, but also the fate of the Bohai Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty warlord Li Cunhuan, who had a two-hundred-year national fortune.

…………

"Announced, almost a year! The Bohai State conspired to kill thirty-seven Lulong merchants! Seek to seize 300,000 pieces of wealth! and refused to return the murderer, and at the same time attacked Jian'an Prefecture, the territory of Datang, three days ago. Those who commit the Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away! As an observer envoy of Hebei Province, I order the soldiers and people of the Tang Dynasty! Launch a counterattack against the Bohai Kingdom! Li Cunhuan's words, without cutting a word or adding a word to the declaration, spread all over the streets and alleys of Liaodong City within an hour.

In fact, it was not uncommon for people to seek money and kill people in various countries at that time, especially foreign businessmen, who did not have much protection in the local area, and killed them, and it was also difficult for their families to find the murderer. However, it is too exaggerated to kill 37 businessmen in one year and seek to seize 300,000 yuan of wealth, but these are all excuses. Under the high-sounding righteousness, Li Cunhuan issued an order for the general mobilization of the Andong Protectorate, and at the same time ordered Zhang Chengye to mobilize Lulong grain to Pingzhou, or to take the land to Liaodong City, or to reach the mouth of the Liaohe River by sea.

In an instant, the land of Liaodong was shrouded in a confusing fog.

On behalf of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Long wanted to declare war on the Bohai State and launched a "counterattack", and the news soon spread to Hedong and Xuanwu, who were paying close attention to Lu Long. Both Li Keyong and Zhu Wen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, they were very afraid of Li Cunhuan, and both of them had suffered losses in the hands of Li Cunhuan to varying degrees.
