"Everyone, everyone"

"Thank you for your love, but you are so enthusiastic, I am only one person, and I can't go to the banquet all."

Fang Yuan shouted several times before the voices of the countries slowly quieted down.

When the words fell, everyone looked at each other, and they were indeed familiar faces, and they were all kings of the country.

The relationship between the 36 countries of the Western Regions is relatively complicated, and it is not uncommon for kings to move around each other.

Unlike many neighboring countries such as Datang, they are worried that meeting each other will cause danger to each other and cause confusion to the country.

"In this way, the principle of proximity, let's go to Ronglu Country for a meal."

"If you appreciate your faces, then come over together, and save His Royal Highness King Zhou from going the same way, right?"

Seeing that the scene had become quiet, the king of Rong Lu immediately interjected.

When many kings heard this, they immediately showed remorse and wanted to refute it.

Although this is the port of Ronglu, it is not the closest to the royal city of Ronglu.

However, at this time, Fang Yuan, who didn't know the truth, had already spoken.

"Then Rong Lu Kingdom, just have a meal nearby, and you don't have to go to the palace so troublesomely."

"In the future, I should come to the Western Regions often, and then I will get together with you again, or if I have something, I can find the Holy Maiden of the Exquisite Country, we are husband and wife."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

And solemnly introduce the red floc.

Hongfu's face was slightly red, but she walked out naturally.

She is the saintess of the Peerless Country, and she and Fang Yuan are married in a normal process, and there is nothing unseemly.

"Ah, congratulations!"

"It turned out to be a saint of the Exquisite Country, what a talented woman."

"Certainly, definitely, we must tell Her Excellency the Holy Maiden of the Exquisite Country if we have something."

The kings were stunned for a moment, and then their hearts were shocked.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yuan's and the Holy Maiden of the Exquisite Nation turned out to be husband and wife.

This person is not only the king of Tang Zhou, but also has such a strong relationship in the Western Regions.

But because of this, the kings of the countries no longer forced Fang Yuan to be a guest with them.

They invited Fang Yuan, in fact, in order to build a good relationship and want Datang's weapons.

The power of the guns and cannons was too great, and he wanted to have them so that he could strengthen his country.

Now that he learned that it was okay to contact the Holy Maiden of the Peerless Country, he naturally would not force Fang Yuan to go to their country anymore.

Subsequently, Fang Yuan and more than a dozen national kings of the Western Regions dined in the nearby city, the scale was average, but they ate very happily.

After finishing the banquet here, Fang Yuan asked Wang Shiyu and the other families to hand over the goods to the red silk and transport them back to the Exquisite Country, using the Exquisite Country as a business point.

This time, Fang Yuan agreed to eat with them, and he also told them this.

Among them, the king of Ronglu Kingdom turned into a bitter gourd face after learning about it, and almost begged Fang Yuan to use Ronglu Country as a business point.

But who is called Hongxu who is now Fang Yuan's wife?

So his pleas were useless.

However, Fang Yuan promised that in the future, the foothold of the Maritime Silk Road would still be the port of Ronglu State.

After receiving this promise, the king of Ronglu was finally a little happier.

Compared with other countries, he also has a little advantage.

Towards the end of the night, the handover was finally completed.

Not because at night, Fang Yuan and the other seven ships traveled.

In the middle of nowhere, as long as the route is correct, there is no difference between driving at night and driving during the day.

In this way, Fang Yuan and the others embarked on the return journey, and the second Maritime Silk Road was perfectly completed.

The next one will be the Third Maritime Silk Road, and the location will not be the Western Regions.

After a few days at sea, Fang Yuan and the others finally returned to Weishui Port.

As soon as I got off the boat, someone shouted excitedly.

This success has boosted their confidence.

Next time, their family will send more goods.

Since then, the Maritime Silk Road has been a point of their fortune.

Fang Yuan said goodbye to everyone and returned to Fang Mansion with Du Miaoyan and the others.

Fang Mansion was still like that, and it hadn't changed since Fang Yuan left.

Although Fang Yuan is now the king of Zhou, the imperial court did not give Fang Yuan a new mansion.

Fang Yuan didn't have any ideas himself, so he didn't make another palace.

After all, Fang Yuan had already decided to let Zhang Ji develop the Lingnan area.

In the end, Fang Yuan still has to go to the fiefdom to develop.

"Husband, you're back?!"

Su Ziqing and Gao Xiangyu ran over excitedly when they saw Fang Yuan coming back.

These days when Fang Yuan was not in Fang Yuan, they felt so bored.

Su Ziqing is okay, she has her son with her, and she accompanies her son when she is bored.

But Gao Xiangyu is different, boring, and Chang'an City is tired of playing.

"I've kept you waiting, I'll be with you tonight!"

Fang Yuan smiled and hugged the two girls.

"Bah, sister, you don't care about him?"

Su Ziqing's face suddenly turned red.

Gao Xiangyu also felt embarrassed, after all, there were still people in front of him.

"If you don't want him to accompany you, then let him accompany me or others."

Du Miaoyan was in a good mood, and she also smiled evilly.

This trip back and forth, almost all of them were with her and Fang Yuan.

Now that Fang Yuan is back, she can not need Fang Yuan for several days.

"No, no, no, we want to, can't we do it?"

Su Ziqing suddenly complained and glanced at Du Miaoyan.

Really, people are just embarrassed, not really don't.

"Hahaha, that's right."

Du Miaoyan laughed.

After asking where his son was, he went to look for him.

Su Ziqing and Gao Xiangyu were still a little embarrassed and prepared to leave for a while.

"By the way, husband, General Li has sent someone to tell him if you come back."

Su Ziqing said.

"General Lee? General Li Jing? ”

Fang Yuan was a little surprised.

The relationship between him and Li Jing is neither bad nor good, that is, the relationship between colleagues.

But he didn't expect that he would find himself early and let someone notify him when he came back?

"Yes, it is General Li Jing."

Su Ziqing said.

Leave with Gao Xiangyu and go to find Du Miaoyan.

"Let someone go and inform General Li Jing, and say I'm back."

Fang Yuan thought about it, and asked people to go and inform Li Jing that he was coming back now.

The main reason is that Li Jing's identity is not ordinary, as the first person in the army, he should only find himself when he has something.

So since you're back, tell the other person.

After arranging things, Fang Yuan went to change his clothes and take a shower by the way.

After Meimeida came out of a shower, she was about to get something to eat, when she heard that Li Jing was here.

In such a hurry?

Fang Yuan was surprised.

Thinking that there was something important, he hurried to meet Li Jing.

"Meet King Zhou!"

When Li Jing saw Fang Yuan coming, he got up and saluted.

"You're polite, you're polite, General Li Jing still calls me Fang Yuan."

Fang Yuan hurriedly helped Li Jing.

For this identity of King Zhou, Fang Yuan was not very adaptable.

At the same time, for a person with considerable prestige like Li Jing, Fang Yuan thought that he should not oppress people with his identity.

Naturally, if the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian came over, Fang Yuan wouldn't mind letting them salute solemnly.

"No, the ceremony can't be abolished."

Li Jing shook his head and said with a straight face.

"General Li Jing, please take a seat, what are you looking for me?"

Fang Yuan smiled slightly, didn't insist on it, and asked things directly.

"To tell you the truth, I also want to be crowned king!"

Li Jing sat up straight, took a deep breath, stared at Fang Yuan, and said in a deep voice.

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Jing in surprise, and didn't react for a while.

"Yes, you heard it right, I want to be crowned!"

"When I supported you to become king, the princess said that she would support me as king when the time comes!"

Li Jing said in a deep voice.

"General Li Jing, how do you want me to support you?"

Fang Yuan is the color road.

Yes, that was Du Miaoyan's promise to Li Jing.

Husband and wife are one, Fang Yuan will not admit it, and will fully support it.

It's just that how Li Jing is crowned king at this time, he won't get credit in the near future.

"Make a war!"

Li Jing said in a deep voice.

"What?"

Fang Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Isn't this a bit extreme?

War is not child's play, and many people die in every war.

It is not easy to create a war, it will make the losses even greater, and it is not desirable.

"Make a war!"

"Western Turks, Tibet, Silla, Baekje, Dongying, all of them!"

Li Jing said in a deep voice.

"General Li Jing, creating a war is a loss of peace, I don't think it's a desirable way."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Unexpectedly, Li Jing deliberately created a war because he wanted to be crowned king?

"Any war is a violation of nature, and any war is made."

"Now that we Datang have powerful weapons, it is the best moment to destroy other countries, otherwise in the future, they will develop the same weapons, and it will be our country that suffers."

"It's one thing for me to take this opportunity to be crowned king, but it's also for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the country!"

Li Jing said in a deep voice.

As the commander of the three armies of the Tang Dynasty, he believes that now is the best time to go to war.

Although it was a very good time before that, it happened to be crowned, so the timing became even better.

I believe that whether it is him, Cheng Yanjin, or Wei Chi Jingde and other generals, they all want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

Only in this way can you have a chance to embark on the road of becoming a king!

"How does General Li Jing need my support?"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

Indeed, now is a good time to go to war.

All countries should be working on a series of weapons such as firearms.

Even if they can't research firearms, they'll work on other weapons.

Maybe there will be people who study chemical weapons and so on, just to be able to protect themselves and fight against Datang.

For weak countries, they sometimes have to do it, they don't want to, but they have to.

"Weapons!"

"A steady stream of weapons support!"

"Firecrackers, explosives, cannons, etc., you have your back!"

Li Jing said in a deep voice.

He was confident in his methods of warfare.

But if there is a weapon blessing, then the win rate will be greatly blessed.

Not only that, but there is also time, etc., which can be further shortened.

"It turns out that General Li Jing also knows about the cannon, but I don't want you to lend the cannon."

"The production of cannons is actually very simple, and once the enemy knows about it, they can make it very quickly."

"This is very replicable compared to the firecracker, and I recommend that the cannon not appear on the battlefield."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The cannon, which was given to the Elite Country, Fang Yuan told the red floc many times.

It is worried that the cannon will be studied, which will once again change the pattern of the battlefield and reduce the advantage of Datang.

Of course, turrets are easy to build, but bombs take time.

However, explosives could also be replaced, so Fang Yuan still didn't want the cannon to be used on the battlefield.

"Then don't use cannons, just support guns and explosives."

Li Jing said in a deep voice.

Even without the support of weapons, he was confident of victory.

To support Fang Yuan, just thinking that it can shorten the time and shorten the number of casualties, that's all.

"Does the Emperor have an opinion?"

Fang Yuan thought for a moment and asked again.

He is no longer a Tobe squire, but he still has some understanding of the situation in Tobe.

Now the imperial court still doesn't have much money, and there is also not much food, and if you start a war rashly, it will be easy to bring down the Tang Dynasty, and even if the war is won, it will not do much good.

However, Fang Yuan is no longer a household servant, so he didn't mention the money and food, and directly asked Li Shimin if he knew.

"Your Majesty doesn't know for the time being."

Li Jing shook his head and said.

He had to get the support of everyone first, and then he would explain to Li Shimin.

There is faith that the emperor will not object.

"Don't know?"

"General Li, do you know that the treasury does not necessarily have the money and food to support you in the war?"

Fang Yuan was even more surprised.

I feel that Li Jing has overstepped in order to become the king.

"As long as we can hold on for two or three months, then we can get a win."

"As long as there is victory, then we will not lack food, take it from the defeated countries!"

Li Jing said in a deep voice.

"General Li, please forgive me for not being able to support you."

"You are the commander-in-chief, and you understand that there will be problems in fighting without food and grass."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

I feel sad about Li Jing's passover.

A generation of military gods, do you want to lose your reputation because of the king?

"King Zhou, you also know that I am the commander."

"As a commander-in-chief, will I fight battles that I am not sure of?"

Li Jing asked rhetorically.

This question, Fang Yuan was asked by him instead.

Indeed, Li Jing is not such a reckless person, and the title of the god of war is not in vain.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, let's decide like this, once the army attacks, please support your weapons."

Li Jing got up and prepared to leave.

"There are 30,000 guns at most, and there are no more."

"If you have explosives, you can get 10,000 at most, and if you want more, you can get the imperial court."

Fang Yuan also got up and muttered for a moment.

If Li Jing can really go on the expedition, then the weapon will be supported.

But if he can't convince Li Shimin and the others, then there is no need to borrow the weapon.

The premise is that, as Li Jing said, once the army attacks, it will support his weapons.

"Thank you!"

Li Jing said heavily.

Then he took his leave and left.

Fang Yuan sent Li Jing to the door.

Looking at the back of Li Jing leaving, his heart was heavy.

"Go and let Lu Chuchu come to see me!"

Fang Yuan said to the guards guarding the door.

After a stick of incense, Lu Chuchu stood at the gate of Fangfu.

After following Chang'an City for three years, he was finally able to come to Fangfu openly.

In the past three years, Lu Chuchu has fantasized countless times about having the opportunity to step into the door of the Fang Mansion.

Now that it has finally been realized, I have mixed feelings for a while, remembering the bits and pieces I once had with Fang Yuan.

It is the unpredictable of the world, who would have thought that a small county order would become the world-famous King of Zhou.

Fortunately, he has insisted on following Fang Yuan since Wuling County, and now he can finally keep the clouds open and see the moon.

Lu Chuchu took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, raised his head and chest, and walked into the gate of the Fang Mansion generously.
