Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

They are very busy.

Only Princess Changle, Xin Qiji, Zhang Liao and Li Shizhen followed Li Kuan.

Li Kuan looked at the vast wasteland outside the Yanchi Road car and felt a bit regretful.

From Yanyun City to Liaodong City, there are very few people in the vast area in between.

Very few!

But the land is very fertile.

Dayan still has great potential for development.

However, as Yanchi drove, it got closer and closer to Liaodong City. On the way, we have seen many small towns that are beginning to develop.

of course,

These small towns all rely on coal mines or other resources, but Li Kuan knows that big cities may appear in these places in the future.

"It seems that General Qi Jiguang Qi's Liaodong Road is developing well!"

Li Kuan looked out the window and chuckled.

"Second brother, Liaodong Road is really good. Some of Dayan Daily Group's products are selling well in Liaodong Road."

Princess Changle echoed from the side.

Li Kuan nodded slightly.

"Yeah, I don't know how the construction of the naval base is going. Liaodong City has been developing for so long, maybe... it's time to do something."

Li Kuan said and stretched.

When the sun was about to set, a city appeared in the distance outside the window, a huge city.

Liaodong City has arrived.

Li Kuan stood up.

Looking at this huge city, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Of course, there are more important things than these chores.

The cooldown time for signing in was eliminated three days ago.

And this moment.

Just when Li Kuan arrived in Liaodong City, a major event occurred in the inner city of Goguryeo's capital in the south.

Imperial City.

Goguryeo Wang Yeungai Suwen's face was gloomy, he looked at the map in front of him, and his breathing was extremely heavy.

Eulji Mundeok, Go Jianwen and other important officials of Goguryeo were sitting below, all staring at Yeongaesumun.

"Your Majesty, the conflicts between the people of Goguryeo and us are very deep."

"The food harvest has been poor in the past two years, and the people are struggling to survive. If we don't think of a solution, I'm afraid it won't be long before civil strife breaks out again."

"By then, the world will be in chaos. Baekje and Silla in the south have been eyeing us. If they send troops, our current situation will be very unsatisfactory."

"Maybe...it's time to make that move."

Gao Jianwen said in a deep voice.

Yeon Gaesumun's somewhat tired eyes flickered slightly.

He nodded and looked down at the other ministers.

"What do you think of what the Prime Minister said?"

"Is there any other way?"

Yeon Gaesumun asked again.

Everyone below looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads.

Eulji Wendeok took a deep breath and focused his eyes slightly: "Your Majesty, the strategy that the Prime Minister said may not be able to influence him anymore."

"It's been three years. It's been three years. Liaodong City has been separated from our map of Goguryeo for three years."

"We, the people of Goguryeo, think about Dayan and Liaodong City, and we want to eat each other alive!"

"Coupled with our constant propaganda and indoctrination over the past three years, Dayan has become our mortal enemy of Goguryeo."

"Now that Great Yan has taken over our Liaodong City, we use Liaodong City to divert the conflicts and attention of the people in the country. This is what Liaodong City should bear."

"The people in the country are about to explode. In this case, it is better to let all the emotions of the people explode into Liaodong City."

"In this way, if we can defeat Liaodong City, we will make a lot of money. Even if we cannot defeat it, all the domestic conflicts will be transferred to Dayan and Liaodong City, and the people's resentment will be much less. We are trying to guide people to understand that our current hardships are all caused by the Great Inflammation."

"Your Majesty, this will greatly consolidate the stability of Goguryeo."

Eulji Wende said slowly.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Eulji Mundeok and Lord Gao Jianwen said makes sense. Now, it is the most convenient and fastest way for us."

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal! Please...just do what Lord Wende and Lord Gao Jianwen said. As long as the grievances among the people are vented towards Dayan, our pressure will be much less. "

"Yes, Your Majesty, although Dayan has developed rapidly in recent years, we Goguryeo don't have to be afraid of them. With the natural barrier of Datong River, Dayan will never be able to get through, so we can attack Liaodong City with peace of mind. , let the people vent their emotions, and then withdraw when they feel they are ready, this method is really extremely safe!"

"Your Majesty, let's do this. We can't delay any longer, otherwise the people will start to riot."

"Your Majesty, ministers, etc., second the proposal!!"

"...."

In the main hall, all Goguryeo officials frantically agreed.

Everyone felt that this strategy was the best choice.

Yeon Gaesumun took a deep breath.

He looked into everyone's eyes, then looked at Eulji Moondeok and Gao Jianwen.

long silence.

He nodded slowly.

"it is good!"

He opened his mouth and drank directly.

"Then let's do it according to your wishes. Everyone go down and prepare."

"Gao Jianwen and Eulji Munduk stay, and the others should retreat."

Yeon Gaesumun waved his hand and spoke in a low voice.

All officials retreated.

Soon, only three people, Yeon Gaesumun, were left in the hall.

"You two, let's do this. If Great Yan gets angry, what should we do? What should we do?"

Yeon Gaesumun looked at the two of them.

Gao Jianwen and Eulji Munduk looked at each other.

These two people in Goguryeo can be said to be the pillars of the country that cover the sky, and smiled softly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, hehehe... Dayan is too busy to do anything."

"Now Dayan and Datang are anxious. The most important thing is that although Dayan has established the Liaodong Road here in Liaodong, there is still only one Liaodong City."

"It is undeniable that Liaodong City's defense is very powerful. We failed to break through Liaodong City three years ago and our Goguryeo lost, but... this does not mean that they have the ability to counterattack our Goguryeo!"

"Hmph, our territory in Goguryeo is not small, and the people are all angry. But how many defenders are there in Liaodong City?"

"Let's harass and attack Liaodong City. Liaodong City can only defend itself. When we retreat, they won't dare to chase us down."

"They can fight in a defensive battle, but they don't dare to do it even if they have the guts to do so in a pursuit battle! Otherwise... they will definitely be buried in my angry Goguryeo army."

"I'll forget it this time. We in Goguryeo can probably mobilize an army of 300,000, 300,000 troops!"

"When the Turks and the Tang Dynasty were at war with each other in Dayan, I, Goguryeo, hid myself. This is the result! A total of 300,000 troops!!"

"Thank God if Dayan's Liaodong City can be defended." Eulji Wende smiled and analyzed with great confidence.

Why didn't he and Gao Jianwen discuss this possibility?
Was Liaodong City's defense successful?
The conclusion is that this possibility is almost impossible.

They don't dare!

No matter how brave and skillful the defenders of Liaodong City are, as long as they leave the city, the world will be dominated by the Goguryeo army.

The initiative went to Goguryeo.

Gao Jianwen also smiled and nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, Liaodong City will not be able to escape being exploited by us this time!"

"As for the accident... it is absolutely impossible. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Listening to the words of the two people, Yeon Gaesumun's heart, which had been hanging on, calmed down a little.

He nodded.

Get up.

He walked up to the two of them.

Hold your fists and bow slightly.

"Two adults, this time, Goguryeo is entrusted to you. As long as Goguryeo can be stabilized again, I will never treat you two badly."

Yeon Gaesumun shouted in a low voice with a hoarse voice.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"

Eulji Mundeok and Gao Jianwen both stood up and returned the greeting with fists clasped.

The two left.

Yeon Gaesumun looked at the backs of the two people and slowly walked to his seat and sat down.

He thought about it a lot.

It seems that this method is exactly what the two said and should not go wrong.

But….
I don’t know why, but Yeon Gaesowun’s heart can’t let go.

There were beads of sweat all over his forehead.

"Maybe... I'm overthinking it."

Yeon Gaesumun took a breath and spoke slowly to himself.

….….….….….….
Goguryeo.

The domestic city is in chaos.

The news of the conquest of Liaodong City was passed down to the inner city in an instant, and at the same time, like the wind, it swept towards the entire Goguryeo.

"Is it true? The emperor wants to attack Liaodong City? This should have been done a long time ago, it should have been done a long time ago! Hahaha, we are in so much pain now. It is said that it is all secretly done by Dayan."

"Yes, I have also heard that as long as Liaodong City is defeated, life will get better. Damn it, I want to join the army, I want to join the army!"

"Finally, we have waited for this day. The great heat of the dog day will rob our Liaodong City and destroy our good life. As long as we destroy them, we will have a chance to succeed!"

"Hiss... Attacking Liaodong City, do we have enough food and grass now? And our people in Goguryeo are in such hardship now, isn't it because those officials wantonly embezzled our food? It has nothing to do with Dayan, right?"

"Shit, are you from Dayan? Damn it, everyone, look over here, there is a traitor from Dayan here, kill him, beat him to death!"

"It's all Dayan's fault. We should have stopped coming to Liaodong City a long time ago. Damn it, I want to join the army too. I also want to go north to recapture Liaodong City and drive away the people of Dayan!"

"......."

The people in Inner City are going crazy.

Over the years, the consistent propaganda in Inner City made the people of Inner City unanimously point their fingers at Dayan.

For a moment, no one was rioting.

No one is complaining.

No one attacked the government again.

Everyone is eager to rush into Liaodong City and destroy Dayan!
Of course, among so many people, there were also occasional doubts and confusion among a few people, and they refuted this instruction.

but,
As a result, the angry Goguryeo people directly regarded him as a person of Dayan.

If they hadn't run so fast, they would have been cut into pieces by five horses and used to sacrifice the flag.

Domestic cities, all cities are moved.

The number of troops increased crazily.

Where is Bingfeng headed, the target is Liaodong City? .
….…….….….….
The sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with colorful clouds h
It was like the golden afterglow falling on the majestic Liaodong City, as if it had been plated with gold.

Li Kuan got off the Yanchi Road car.

Two carriages were already waiting at the station entrance early.

Qi Jiguang, Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Yisao and Zheng He stretched their necks and stood on tiptoes, looking at the crowded exit, looking for Li Kuan.

"Oh, I saw it, I saw it, here! Your Majesty, here!"

Zheng He's eyesight was good. When Li Kuan led Princess Changle and the four of them out, they saw him immediately.

Qi Jiguang, Zheng Chenggong and others slapped their thighs and rushed to greet him?

"His Majesty!"

Seeing Li Kuan, the four of them raised their hands.

Li Kuan looked at them, took a deep breath, then looked at the Liaodong City Station where people were coming and going like a tidal wave, and nodded slightly.

"Okay, okay! Hahaha, I didn't expect such a city to be so prosperous under your governance."

"The movement of these goods and such a large flow of people are almost as good as those in Yanyun City."

Li Kuan praised.

"Your Majesty, Liao Zang, after so long, there are only a few more villages around Liaodong City, but not a new city has been built yet."

"Your Majesty, please stop teasing the general."

Qi Jiguang smiled bitterly.

"Why are you so anxious? On the way here, I have already seen the prototypes of many cities."

"Next, as long as there are people there, it will naturally become a city. I think those places were all designed by you, right?"

Li Kuan smiled.

"We are just planting willow trees in those places. Whether they can grow or not depends on various factors." Qi Jiguang replied.

"Okay, let's go, stop standing, get in the car and talk."

Li Kuan nodded, and immediately, Zheng Chenggong moved the bench.

Li Kuan stepped onto the carriage, Princess Changle and the others followed, while Xin Qiji, Li Shizhen and the others got into another carriage.

They all knew that His Majesty wanted to discuss something with Qi Jiguang, Zheng Chenggong and the others, so naturally they would not bother them enough.

"That's enough. The population of your Liaodong Road is not that large now. It is impossible to separate enough people to establish a city in an instant."

Li Kuan took a deep breath, looked at the people outside the carriage, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty is right. The most important thing that restricts the development of our Liaodong Road is insufficient population."

"Coal mines, steel mills, printing plants, shipyards, pharmaceutical factories, arsenals, machinery factories, etc. were all established."

"Your Majesty, there are even oil mines and refineries that have started working. We have handed over the internal combustion engine drawings that were sent before midnight to the machinery factory. They can be built in a few days. This is another good thing for Liaodong Road. Big boost.”

"In addition, Your Majesty, the development direction of the Liaodong Road that I will choose is to the southwest. There is no Tongyanchi Road there yet, but because it is close to the Hebei Road of the Tang Dynasty, we merchants and people between Dayan and the Tang Dynasty can spontaneously Gathering into one place also has the direction of transforming the city. It is extremely prosperous."

"The general is thinking that next year, we will completely establish a county there, then build a city, dig a moat, and finalize it."

Qi Jiguang reported.
