Yohji Yamamoto left after receiving Fang Yuan's message.

He doesn't need to stay in Chang'an City, and he can cooperate after returning to Dongying.

The cooperation between the two sides is not a matter of today and tomorrow, but a matter of a certain day in the future.

Most likely, the envoys of each country returned to their respective countries, leaving Jieli Khan and Murong Fuyun.

The two were placed under house arrest in Chang'an City, and half of the original treatment of Jieli Khan was directly given to Murong Fuyun, and there was no previous treatment.

Before, Li Shimin was worried that the old Eastern Turks would not obey the discipline, and he was afraid that they would mess up, but now that Datang has firearms, there is no need to worry too much about the problem.

After the envoys of the countries left, Datang resumed the issue of construction again.

During this period, Li Jing's army and Li Ke's army came back one after another, and the foreign army all returned.

The imperial court praised them, and the formation was quite large, which attracted the attention of the people of the whole city.

With Li Ke coming back, his prestige has become even greater, and he has become the most suitable candidate to be the crown prince.

There are even people who wrote to Li Shimin and made Li Ke the crown prince.

Time flickered, and more than half a month passed.

On this day, Yohji Yamamoto, the envoy of Dongying, reappeared and found Fang Yuan privately.

"Lord Fang, I'm here again."

Yohji Yamamoto said with a smirk.

"How?"

Fang Yuan asked directly.

"The emperor has agreed, and Datang can send troops at any time."

Yohji Yamamoto continued with a flattering smile.

"You wanted to buy 8,000 firebolts before, then I, Datang, will also send 8,000 troops, no problem."

Fang Yuan said.

Eight thousand firearms, which can withstand three or four times the number of troops.

It didn't play a big role, but it was Dongying who really fought, and the eight thousand firecrackers were almost there.

"Can this be a little more, another 10,000?"

Yohji Yamamoto said.

"Another 10,000?!"

"It's not impossible, but give grain and grass in advance."

Fang Yuan frowned, thought for a while and said.

In order to realize your ideas, it is not impossible to come to another 10,000.

Relatively speaking, the greater the number of people, the greater the chance of destroying the East Win.

"It's natural."

"Does Lord Fang have any other questions?"

Yohji Yamamoto was overjoyed and said excitedly.

"The Fire Gun Army is only the vanguard army."

"According to the normal situation, if it is found that the follow-up Dongying army has not followed, the firecracker army will no longer cooperate with Dongying."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The most suitable thing for the Fire Gun Army is to be the vanguard army.

When you kill an enemy like this, you won't kill the wrong person.

"Yes."

Yohji Yamamoto thought about it and nodded.

For Dongying, it is natural to hope that Datang will make more efforts.

But Datang is not stupid, he is willing to be a pioneer army, and he will not be a pioneer army unconditionally.

"When a month's food for 20,000 troops arrives, Datang will send troops."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Do you want the food to come first?"

"Shouldn't Tang Jun go to the east first to win and then give?"

"In this way, you don't have to waste time going back and forth with food."

Yohji Yamamoto said puzzled.

"It's a bit of a waste of time, but it's good for both you and me."

"My army doesn't enter your Dongying, and your Dongying ensures that my food is okay."

"From the waterway, there is no difference of a few days."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly.

If the food doesn't arrive first, who can guarantee that Dongying will not be an empty glove white wolf.

"Yes, yes."

Yohji Yamamoto nodded repeatedly.

It is better for the Tang army not to go to Dongying Island, so that he and others will not be able to sleep.

"Then I'll hear from you."

"In addition, to add, if the war is not over for a month, please prepare the next month's food half a month in advance."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

"As it should be."

Yohji Yamamoto smiled.

After saying goodbye to Fang Yuan, his face changed.

After returning home, they tested the firecracker.

Who knows, nine times out of ten, there is a problem, there are problems such as exploding.

asked Datang why he gave such a garbage thing, but the reply he got was that Datang Fire Gun is also like this now.

For this reason, whether it is Dongying or Tubo, they can only accept that result head-on.

More than half a month after Yohji Yamamoto left, the grain was transported by ship to the Weishui port of Datang.

After determining that there was no problem with food, Fang Yuan asked Li Shimin to mobilize the army.

The rest, naturally, was not decided by Fang Yuan.

As soon as the 20,000 firearms army took a ship to Dongying, Gao Tianzhi arrived again.

"Lord Fang, do you remember my request?"

Gao Tianzhi secretly came to Fang Yuan for what he had told Fang Yuan before.

This time when he returned to China, because most of the firecrackers were defective, he was impeached by the eldest prince and the second king.

Originally, Fang Yuan and Datang should be blamed for these things, but Gao Tianzhi didn't dare, he still needed Fang Yuan's help.

And from another point of view, the domestic firecrackers are all bad, which is more conducive to their own future power.

"Naturally, I remember."

"How many people do you need?"

Fang Yuan was waiting for Gao Tianzhi to come over.

Among his ideas for Dongying was Goguryeo.

When Dongwon attacked Baekje, he helped Gao Tianzhi seize power in Goguryeo.

After Gao Tianzhi seized power, the battle for hegemony on the Dongying side also had a result.

When the time comes, he will take advantage of Goguryeo and Goguryeo's terrain to win against the east together with the 20,000 troops sent out earlier.

Dongying must be no problem to perish.

"Three hundred!"

Gao Tianzhi said in a deep voice.

He still has support at home.

And he is not a rebellion, just a palace change.

As long as you seize the power of the palace, kill the eldest prince and the second prince, and get the right to succeed from the king.

This is to emulate the change of Xuanwumen.

Because the king of Goguryeo happened to have three sons.

"Only three hundred?"

"When do you want it?"

Fang Yuan was a little surprised.

It's only three hundred, which is a bit surprisingly small.

I'm embarrassed to lend out such a small amount.

It also did little to help the plan against Dongying.

"Three hundred is fine."

"Please Lord Fang."

Gao Tianzhi took out the gift.

It is also a medicinal herb that is very old.

"Okay, when?"

Fang Yuan accepted the gift and said in a deep voice.

The medicinal materials sent by Gao Tianzhi last time, Fang Yuan had already shown them to Sun Simiao, and they were all good goods among good goods.

and the two women sent last time, Xu Changlin won Sun Simiao's hope, and now he is Sun Simiao's registered disciple.

"In the middle of next month."

"This month, Goguryeo will have a batch of business to cooperate with Datang, and when the time comes, Lord Fang will replace his own people."

Gao Tianzhi said in a deep voice.

It was not easy for 300 people to enter the territory of Goguryeo with firearms.

Now Goguryeo has ordered the whole country to hand over all those who find firecrackers.

Therefore, to transfer Fang Yuan's Fire Gun Army into the country, a suitable way is needed.

Among them, the caravan is a good way to get the soldiers defending the city not to check.

"Okay, I'll hear from you."

Fang Yuan said.

It's only the middle of the month, and we're still a month away from the middle of next month.

There is still plenty of time, just wait for Gao Tianzhi's news caravan.

After taking care of Dongying and Goguryeo, Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the seed has been planted, it is up to them to bear fruit.

However, the personnel who went to Dongying made Fang Yuan a little difficult.

Because the number of people was too small, Li Shimin let Fang Yuan decide for himself.

And for the same reason that the number is too small, the generals of the imperial court do not want to lead.

At this time, Li Ke came to visit in broad daylight.

"Fang Yuan, long time no see, congratulations on your promotion to the head of the household."

"This small gift is not a tribute, please be sure to accept it."

Li Ke didn't just come by himself.

I also came with large boxes and small boxes of gifts.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you can come in person to make the humble house shine."

"I can't ask for so many gifts."

Fang Yuan took Du Miaoyan and others to greet Li Ke.

There is no way, Li Ke is open-minded, and he has to be greeted on a sufficient scale.

"It's not for you, it's for your children."

"Miaoyan, we grew up together, you have to accept this gift."

Li Ke laughed.

Looking at Du Miaoyan, it was already obvious that her stomach was full of congratulations.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

Du Miaoyan glanced at Fang Yuan and finally accepted it.

The words of the King of Shu came to this point, and if he didn't accept it, he wouldn't give face.

Soon, Fang Yuan invited Li Ke to sit in the main hall.

Because Du Miaoyan was pregnant with Liujia, Fang Yuan let her go down to rest.

"Fang Yuan, I'm here this time to thank you for the firecracker."

"Because of your firecracker, I defeated the boy named Aoyama."

"If it hadn't been for the firecrackers, I might have failed."

Li Ke expressed his gratitude to Fang Yuan.

When it came to the young man in Qingshan, Li Ke's eyes flashed with a little admiration.

It is really rare for a person from the bottom to have such a high vision that is inseparable from himself.

If it weren't for the support of firearms, this war would not have ended so quickly, and it was impossible to say whether it was won by itself.

"That's what I should, Your Highness doesn't need to thank me."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

This kind of gratitude is completely unnecessary, it is all for the imperial court.

Presumably, Li Ke's gratitude is just an excuse, and his real thoughts are afraid that there are others.

"Fang Yuan, do you remember what I said before?"

"If you are willing to support me, I will make you the king of one word after registration!"

Li Ke suddenly became solemn and said solemnly.

He knew the power of the firebolt and knew what kind of weapon it was.

He had secretly hidden a few for research, but to no avail.

So Li Ke came to Fang Yuan, hoping that Fang Yuan could support him.

Now there are many people in the court who support him.

If there is the support of Fangyuan, success is just around the corner.

"Your Highness, I said that I would not participate in any competition for the throne."

"If you must talk about this, then we have nothing to say, please go back."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

In history, it was Li Li Zhi who inherited the throne of Li Shimin.

I have crossed over and changed a lot of things, and I don't know if Li Zhi will inherit the throne in the future.

But it's not that Li Ke doesn't know either, and he doesn't want to know, just with the development of the times.

Individuals are very small in the torrent of the times, and there is no need to participate in so many things.

Especially now that Li Shimin is still very young.

"Since you don't want to talk, let's talk about something else."

"Fang Yuan, are you preparing to send troops to Goguryeo now?"

The corners of Li Ke's mouth twitched, and he said embarrassedly.

He was a little angry, but he could only endure it.

It's just that I think that now except for some old ministers who can not give themselves face, other ministers also have to respect themselves.

But he didn't want to, he was directly ordered to be expelled by the young Fang Yuan, which greatly made him lose face.

But he can only endure it, who is called Fang Yuan is not only the head of the household now, but also has important materials such as fire guns and money in his hands.

"Your Highness also knows?"

Fang Yuan was reluctant to talk too much with Li Ke.

In fact, the gift he gave Fang Yuan didn't want either.

But he didn't expect Li Ke to know about Goguryeo, which surprised him.

"My father told me."

"Since you can't find anyone yet, why don't you let me go?"

Li Ke laughed.

After returning from the pacification of Qingzhou, his father trusted him a lot.

Many things that had nothing to do with him before, but now he is there.

Naturally, Li Tai was also among them, so Li Ke still felt that there was a crisis.

So if there are people who can get credit, Li Ke wants to participate in it to get more support.

"Your Highness is willing to lead?!"

Fang Yuan was surprised.

"What, it's unexpected?"

Li Ke laughed.

Seeing that Fang Yuan was so surprised, his dissatisfaction just now disappeared a lot.

"It was quite unexpected."

"Your Highness is willing to lead, because you want to get more credit, right?"

Fang Yuan nodded and asked.

"Yes."

"You know I'm staring at the throne, and I need more credit to get more support for me."

Li Ke had no intention of hiding it.

Now when he treats Fang Yuan, his main focus is sincerity.

"It's very good to have such an idea, and I also support His Highness to lead the departure."

"But I have to remind Your Highness that there are only 300 people on this trip, and if Gao Tianzhi goes back on his word, they won't be able to come back."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

This is probably one of the reasons why the generals are reluctant to go.

There are only 300 people, only 300 firearms, if Gao Tianzhi has other ideas, all these 300 people will not be able to come back.

"Is this possible?!"

Li Ke's expression instantly became solemn.

He cherishes his life very much now, and he has to keep it for the future to ascend the throne as emperor.

There was too much risk, and he had to figure out whether to go or not.

"It's not out of the ordinary."

"Your Highness, please consider it carefully."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He had to warn Li Ke of the danger.

In case something happens to Li Ke on this trip, he has something to do with it.

"Thanks for the reminder!"

Li Ke nodded importantly.

If he hadn't been reminded by Fang Yuan, he might have gone with a hot head.

If you can't come back, what is the use of all these years of hard work?

It's only 300 people, and once an accident happens, the problem will be so big that everyone can't come back.

"You're welcome, please have tea."

Fang Yuan said.

After a cup of tea, Li Ke knew that he should leave.

Bidding farewell to Fang Yuan, Li Ke left Fang Mansion with people.

With Li Ke's identity, there will be people staring at him wherever he goes.

As soon as he left the Fang Mansion on his front foot, someone on the back foot revealed how long Li Ke had been in the Fang Mansion and how many boxes of gifts he had sent.

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

"Father, after the third brother came back from the war, he gave gifts everywhere, and Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone."

"He stared at the throne so unscrupulously, do you care?"

"If my father doesn't care, the ministers will also start giving gifts to the ministers."

Li Tai directly found Li Shimin to complain and express his dissatisfaction.

The prince can't be so close to the minister, but Li Ke does it blatantly.

If there is no restraint, then he will have to win over the ministers.
