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

Chapter 79 The Arrival of the Large Force

In Takizhou Takishui City, the powerful army led by Tan Dian has been attacking the city. After several generations of stabilization by the Chen family, Takishui City is not as good as Haikang, but it is only slightly better, and not much better.

Chen Longshu in the city looked at the army outside the city, his throat was almost dry from cursing. He really couldn't understand what Tan Dian had eaten. He just brought the army to attack directly without saying a word. Before he could come to his senses, Tan Dian's army was at the gates of the city.

Although Nanfuzhou occupied the territories of four counties of Tan Dian, he has now retreated to Longzhou. He still sent troops on a large scale when Li Yuanji was already in Lingnan. He couldn't understand why Tan Dian was not afraid that Li Yuanji would settle accounts with him later?

"Has the letter to the king been sent out? Have more people been sent to deliver the message?"

The middle-aged man next to Chen Longshu responded hastily with a look of panic on his face.

"Master, I have sent someone to deliver a message to the king. I have sent more than ten people to rush out. I believe the king's army to quell the rebellion is on the way."

Chen Longshu's heart sank when he heard this. The time it took to get from Haikang to Longzhou was almost up.

Chen Longshu prayed in his heart that Li Yuanji's army would arrive as soon as possible. However, Tan Dian below directly sent out his most elite soldiers and began to attack the city again.

Two hours later, the battle of Takishui came to an end, and Chen Longshu was pinned in front of Tan Dian.

"Tan Dian, you bastard, you always flirt with me. Just wait, the king's army will defeat you sooner or later. If you know what's good for you, let me go quickly. I am the king's subject, otherwise none of you can escape!"

Tan Dian looked at Chen Longshu, and suddenly he thought that this man was a little too stupid. How could he not have any sense at this time?

Tan Dian ignored Chen Longshu, and directly clenched the big knife in his hand, ending Chen Longshu's life with one stroke.

"Chen Longshu has acted perversely, disregarding the king's orders, and repeatedly bullying and provoking me. Today, I, Tan Dian, will lead the army to exterminate this villain.

In Lingnan, everyone must obey the orders of the Great King. Those who disobey will be beheaded!"

After dealing with Chen Longshu, Tan Dian immediately loaded all the wealth plundered by several generations of the Chen family onto trucks and shipped them to Haikang. At the same time, the chieftains of various caves in Nanfuzhou and Longzhou recruited people to become citizens and began to reclaim wasteland and develop farming.

At this time, the envoy sent by Xie Shufang to mediate by Li Yuanji was still on the way. There were always difficulties along the way, which made his progress very slow.

In the palace, Li Yuanji was gathering carpenters to start making furniture. The wood used was rosewood and huanghuali, which were all transported from Yazhou by Feng Zhixun.

Li Yuanji was filled with excitement as he looked at these woods, rosewood and huanghuali wood. There was only rosewood in the palace, and even if it was used in the palace, it had to be used sparingly because it was really scarce.

As for Huanghuali wood, people at that time had no idea of ​​the benefits of this wood and it had not yet been developed.

Looking at the rocking chair made of rosewood and the fresh fragrance emanating from the wood, Li Yuanji was fascinated. Even the emperor couldn't enjoy such a good thing, but he, Li Yuanji, was the first to have it.

Now that he had the wood, the next step was to make furniture. He could also use rosewood and huanghuali wood to make various small objects and furniture and sell them. Although this craftsmanship was easy to imitate, who else had this wood besides Li Yuanji?
When Li Yuanji was happy, Yu Minghe hurried over.

"Your Majesty, the battle of Longshui is over, Chen Longshu is dead, Tan Dian has led his army back, and people from Nanfuzhou and Longzhou have become citizens, volunteering to reclaim wasteland and plant farmland."

After hearing this, Li Yuanji's face turned gloomy.

"This is outrageous. I have repeatedly warned that there must be no war in Lingnan. How could this Tan Dian do this?

Even though he is doing his best to carry out my orders, even though he is trying to stand up for justice, it is too much. I will handle these matters myself, why should he send troops on his own?
Pass on this king's order to bury Chen Longshu properly, and punish Tan Dian to keep vigil over Chen Longshu's body for five days and repent sincerely."

Li Yuanji was very happy. This Tan Dian was really good at handling things. How long had it taken him to kill Chen Longshu? Moreover, he used his influence to get people from Nanfuzhou and Longzhou registered as residents. This person was very good.

The corner of Yu Minghe's mouth twitched. Fortunately, he knew the inside story. It was because of this that he almost couldn't hold it back.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will convey your order right away."

Watching Yu Minghe go away, Li Yuanji shook his head. Yu Minghe was still a little immature. If it were Xie Shufang, he would only show admiration for him.

However, just as I thought of Xie Shufang, Xie Shufang came.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Xi Junmai sent someone to deliver the news that they will arrive in Haikang tomorrow."

Li Yuanji was stunned, then overjoyed.

"Okay, you go down and prepare, we will go to welcome them tomorrow." Xie Shufang also had a happy look on his face and hurried downstairs. Li Yuanji pondered for a moment, looked at the craftsmen who were making furniture, and immediately called dozens of people.

"Hurry up and make sure to produce everything I told you to do today."

This time, Li Yuanji wants to replace all the furniture with rosewood and huanghuali wood to give Yang Qingwan a surprise, so it must be done as soon as possible.

A day passed quickly. At noon on the second day, Li Yuanji, Xie Shufang, Ning Chun, Yu Minghe, Yang Shu and others were waiting outside Haikang. However, by noon, no one showed up.

"Shu Fang, have the people you sent out come back? Where did Xi Jun buy them?"

Xie Shufang shook his head.

"My lord, not yet. The news came an hour ago."

Li Yuanji waited for a while, and as it was approaching noon, figures gradually appeared in front of him. More and more people appeared in front of him. Li Yuanji was delighted and immediately rode over.

"I will pay my respects to the king."

Li Yuanji looked at Xi Junmai, his face was haggard and he had lost a lot of weight compared to before.

"Jun Mai, you've worked hard on this journey. Now that we're here, you can take a good rest."

Li Yuanji helped Xi Junmai up with both hands. Looking at Xi Junmai's appearance, he still felt a little distressed. After all, he was the general he had found, and now he had to shoulder such a heavy burden.

Xi Junmai smiled after hearing this, and then said: "Your Majesty, it's not bad, thanks to the princess, the journey was well arranged, and there were no troubles along the way.

I feel ashamed to the king. Along the way, more than a hundred people have died, most of them were the elderly, children, women and children.

It was all due to illness. The imperial doctors had examined him and prescribed medicine, but in the end there was nothing they could do.

Half of the herbs we brought were used up, as they were used to treat people who fell ill on the road. Fortunately, we were well prepared and most of them were fine. It was just that we were delayed and it took us so long to get here. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Li Yuanji quickly helped Xi Junmai up.

“Jun Mai, you’ve done a great job. The journey is long, and it’s good enough that most people can arrive safely.

As for the medicinal materials, they were originally prepared for use on the road. As long as we can save the life, it’s okay if we go slowly. You have done a very good job.

Have a good rest later, there will be tasks for you later, the burden on your shoulders is still not light. "

Xi Junmai's expression was moved. It was really not easy for him to walk all the way. He had to stop and go many times. Now that he had arrived in Haikang, he was so exhausted that he felt a little drowsy.

Li Yuanji's pupils shrank when he saw the unconscious Xi Junmai.

"Jun Mai! Go and call the imperial physician, go quickly!"

"Shufang, you lead the army to the camp, Dahe, you lead the others into the city."

Li Yuanji had no time to see Yang Qingwan until the imperial physician treated Xi Junmai and he slowly woke up. Only then did Li Yuanji feel relieved.

"Jun Mai, don't say anything yet. Once we enter the city, I'll have someone prepare some supplements for you. So you can take good care of yourself."

After saying that, he looked at Yu Minghe.

"Minghe, you carry Junmai on your back. Let's go into the city first and go directly to the palace."

After making all the arrangements, Li Yuanji went to find Yang Qingwan. Yang Qingwan was still at the back, arranging everyone to move forward. When Li Yuanji saw Yang Qingwan, he ran straight to her and hugged her tightly in his arms.

The others looked at this scene and turned their heads away from looking at Li Yuanji. Everyone had a smile on their face and their pace quickened a lot.
