Just when he thought it was over, [-] people from Dongyang City came out to welcome them.

Liu Ke was flattered, this time he made a small resistance and slipped back home.

"It's really scary!"

"Husband, this is your fault, the people welcome you from the bottom of their hearts, how can you play missing?" Zhao Yu said.

"I always feel that there is a conspiracy. Why do people know where I go? Whoever comes up with the idea will end it." Liu Ke said firmly.

Zhao Yu smiled, and said: "Then you can't be so willful, at worst, just go through the motions and punish the person who came back."

"Forget it, how is father recently?" Liu Ke asked.

"Health is good, but the body is gradually gaining weight." Zhao Yu said.

This situation has been going on for a long time.

Liu Ke visited Liu Youyi, and the father and son chatted a lot.

"Dingfang, you are a person who does great things, don't waste time on me, an old man." Liu Youyi said.

"How can it be considered a waste of time? It is also my responsibility to accompany my father." Liu Ke said.

After bidding farewell to Liu Youyi, Liu Ke went to rest directly, and dealt with official duties normally the next day.

Gan Ning came in a hurry to report on his work.

"Xingba, long time no see." Liu Ke said.

"My lord, long time no see." Gan Ning said, his whole body was getting darker and darker.

The sun on the sea is really uncomfortable.

"How's the matter in Liaodong?" Liu Ke asked.

Liaodong is far away from the Central Plains and is located in the northernmost part.Gongsun Du did not participate in the autumn hunt this time, so Liu Ke's concept of people for people and war for war has not been promoted in Liaodong.

This point became a flaw in Liu Ke's philosophy, so Liu Ke wanted to make up for it and sent an envoy.

"My lord, I'm afraid I've disappointed you this time." Gan Ning said regretfully.

"What did Gongsun Du say?" Liu Ke had already guessed the answer, but still needed to confirm it.

"The matter in the Central Plains has nothing to do with Liaodong, that's what Gongsun Du said," Gan Ning said.

Liaodong is too far away, with a vast land and few people. This is Gongsun Du's confidence.

"Then he expelled our envoy." Gan Ning said calmly.

However, under the calm appearance is a murderous heart.

"If that's all, that's all. Gongsun Du even invited the lord to Liaodong to pay respects. Calling the lord is just a waste of name." Gan Ning said.

Liu Ke's expression changed, but he still didn't get angry.

"Gongsun Du is no more than a frog at the bottom of a well, not worth mentioning." Gan Ning continued, "However, it is too much for such a villain to be called the King of Liaodong."

If it wasn't for the sake of the overall situation, how could Gan Ning forbear until now?

On this matter, Liu Ke held a meeting.

"Gongsun Du is very arrogant, what do you guys think?" Liu Ke said.

"My lord, I am willing to go on an envoy!" Xu Shu volunteered.

"Yuanzhi, you don't take care of your official duties, and you still want to go out to relax?" Guo Jia said.

Xu Shu was speechless as to who sneaked out before.

"I don't think there is any need to continue the conversation." Jia Xu said, "The lord is still just Lord Marquis, and Gongsun Du is already king, so he should be made aware of the reality!"

Unexpectedly, Jia Xu directly suggested sending troops.

"Isn't this too hasty? And Liaodong is indeed too far away, which is not conducive to combat." Lu Su said.

The Yamatai country is just as far away, and Liu Ke is equally intimidating, but the Yamatai country is poor and its army is weak.

Liaodong is different. It is located in the north, and there are many nomadic peoples who are very fierce. Among them, the cavalry is the most difficult to deal with.

"My lord's proposition must be carried out, it is better to kill chickens to make an example to monkeys." Jia Xu said.

"How about using trade to persuade Gongsun Du to admit it?" Lu Su said.

Yangzhou's trade is already developed enough, and Liaodong is poor, so it will definitely have an impact.

However, it takes longer.

"With Gongsun Du's greed, I'm afraid it will not be so easy, and he will be an enemy instead." Jia Xu said.

Everyone was arguing, and it was a mess.

"What do you think, my lord?" Guo Jia asked.

How can anyone directly ask the lord for his opinion?Only a magnanimous lord like Liu Ke can tolerate it.

"Trade can only be guaranteed if the military is strong," Liu Ke said.

"Beat Gongsun Du first?" Guo Jia stroked his chin in thought, "That's not bad."
