Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 42 Keep it simple
Li Yuanji was in low spirits and walked slowly forward alone. Along the way, he encountered quite a few attacks. Except for this attack which was really aimed at his life, the rest of the ambushes were more like playing house.

Even when he was attacked for the first time, he didn't feel anything afterward because it was his first time experiencing it personally.

However, as his thoughts became more and more complicated, he did not deal with the situation in time. Now, the people who ambushed him have risen to the level of an elite army.

Li Yuanji felt that he seemed to have thought too much in the past. He was the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the 24,000 men from Xi Junmai were not counted, he still had 11,000 troops here, all of them elite.

It's just some local chiefs causing chaos. As long as he kills all those who show up, at least the overall environment in Lingnan will improve. As long as he gradually develops in Leizhou, his power will naturally grow stronger.

Li Yuanji felt that he had thought too much and considered all aspects, especially that he had not correctly estimated the strength of the army in his hands.

Does he need support from others now?

The army in his hands is his guarantee. After it develops, there will be more of them, and then he will start to expand his territory. Who dares to disobey?

Whoever disobeys will be destroyed. It is that simple. With the army in his hands, it is enough for him to gain a foothold in Lingnan.

Li Yuanji thought a lot quietly by himself. After a long time, Li Yuanji had an idea in his mind.

Next, he is going to rush forward. Instead of guessing, it is better to just rush forward. All the monsters will be exposed later.

Li Yuanji, who had figured it out, immediately called Wang Xuance, Xie Shufang, and Su Dingfang.

"I have something to tell you. I will be going to Cangwu next. Shufang, send someone to inform Feng Ang and tell him that I am in his territory and will meet him in Cangwu.

As for Ding Fang, you and Xuan Ce take 8,000 troops and attack Tan Dian directly. If Tan Dian tries to stop you, kill him. If he doesn't try to stop you, go directly to Lianzhou. I don't care about anything else. I just want Ning Changzhen's head!
Then we will immediately enter Leizhou. We don’t need to worry about whether those people are willing to surrender or not. As long as there is no rebellion force on the surface, we don’t need to worry about anything else.”

Li Yuanji thought very clearly, as long as no one openly rebelled, did it matter whether these people obeyed his management or not?
Anyway, for the time being, he can only control him until he occupies Leizhou and starts to develop with Leizhou as the center. What's the use even if those people surrender on the surface?

When he develops and expands outwards, that will be the time for the real showdown, not now.

As for him going to find Feng Ang, it was to see what Feng Ang's attitude was, because only Feng Ang could directly threaten his safety.

Li Yuanji didn't consider at all whether he would be in danger if he went there. Now that Li Yuan was the emperor, he was still a prince. Even if Feng Ang had ten times the courage, he would not take action. As long as he could stabilize Feng Ang and wait for him to get up, he would be fearless.

As soon as Li Yuanji finished speaking, Xie Shufang and the other two immediately objected.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Xie Shufang and the other two talked a lot, but in the end Li Yuanji just smiled indifferently.

"Why panic? Feng Ang's place is not a dangerous place. Even if it is, it won't hurt to go for a walk.

This time, Shu Fangni and I should come together, and also, let's ask Yang Shu to come as well.

As for Tan Dian, if he does not take the initiative to send troops, then you should not take the initiative to fight him. Tell him that as long as he does not rebel openly, he can do whatever he wants.

Among these people, I only want Ning Changzhen's head. As for the others, I don't need to care about them unless they rebel or cause trouble again.

There is no need to think about what will happen if we destroy them. If we destroy them, can we control these places?
It’s not that easy. Our foundation is not stable. We need to gain a firm foothold in Leizhou first before we can think of other things.”

Finally, Xie Shufang and his men had no choice but to agree with what Li Yuanji said. Then Xie Shufang selected another two thousand elite soldiers and went to Cangwu with Li Yuanji.

Just as everything was ready, Yang Jianhe hurried to Li Yuanji.

"Your Majesty, Tan Dian has sent someone to invite Your Majesty to meet him." Li Yuanji became interested after hearing this. Sending someone here first, this is really interesting.

"Go tell him, see you in half an hour."

This guy is really interesting. He came here just after he entered Tan Dian's sphere of influence. His speed is really quite fast.

However, not long after, Su Dingfang came to Li Yuanji again.

"Your Majesty, the Governor of Southern Fuzhou, Chen Longshu, is outside requesting to see you."

Li Yuanji immediately laughed. What a coincidence that everyone is here.

"Tell him to wait for a while and join Tan Dian later."

When the time was up, Li Yuanji brought Xie Shufang to the front, and Tan Dian and Chen Longshu came to Li Yuanji together.

"See you, Your Majesty."

Li Yuanji was on his horse and did not dismount.

"Get up, it's really a coincidence that you two are here after I was ambushed by bandits with a full set of standard weapons from the Sui Dynasty.

Don't worry, I didn't say anything to you. Since you are all here, I will only say one thing: there must be no rebellion in Lingnan. The rest will remain unchanged for the time being.

Now go back to where you came from, I am about to set off."

After Li Yuanji finished speaking, he didn't even look at the two people and started his journey.

Tan Dian and Chen Longshu looked at each other, especially Tan Dian. He had made a great determination to come to see Li Yuanji, and now Li Yuanji's words seemed to be going more smoothly than expected, but Tan Dian felt uneasy in his heart.

Especially since Li Yuanji encountered an ambush again, the bandits had a full set of pre-Sui Dynasty standard weapons. Nowadays, there are not many people in Lingnan with such equipment. Standard weapons are only available to the regular army of the Sui Dynasty.

Li Yuanji walked away lightly. Tan Dian and Chen Longshu did not try to stop him, especially Tan Dian, because most of Li Yuanji's subsequent routes were his territory. Instead, he passed messages to the chiefs of each cave, so that Li Yuanji was not attacked again along the way.

Half a month later, Li Yuanji came to Cangwu. As soon as he arrived, Feng Ang was already waiting outside the city to greet him.

Li Yuanji didn't know that Feng Ang had been waiting in Cangwu after he entered Lingnan. Because of his worries, he did not take the initiative to meet Li Yuanji, but he did not take any action either.

When he knew that Li Yuanji was coming to Cangwu, Feng Ang had already made up his mind.

"Your Majesty, I, Feng Ang, pay my respects to you."

Li Yuanji dismounted and helped Feng Ang up.

"Duke Geng, there is no need to perform the ceremony. I came to Lingnan with the intention of meeting you a long time ago. I have come here specially now. I hope I am not disturbing you."

Feng Ang was full of respect and said, "I am extremely grateful that Your Majesty can come. Please come into the city. I have prepared wine and food in the city to welcome Your Majesty."

Li Yuanji then entered the city. After the banquet, that night, Feng Ang came to Li Yuanji's room.
