"Of course I'm going to Bangladesh!"

Li Gao said without hesitation.

"Uh, you are the governor!"

Yang Feng said unexpectedly.

Li Gao is now a vassal state. He is the governor of the six prefectures of Denglai, Zimei, and governs the entire Shandong Peninsula. In addition, Jinan and Zibo, Qingzhou governs Yidu, Qizhou governs Licheng, Zizhou governs Zichuan, Dengzhou governs Penglai, Laizhou governs Donglai, and Mizhou governs Zhucheng. The two prefectures in Qingqi are all big prefectures. The population of these two prefectures is nearly one million, and the total population of the six prefectures is close to two million. It is surprising that such a huge territory is abandoned so simply.

"Brother, I, the Jiedushi, can't control anything else except Denglai!"

Li Gao said with a wry smile.

Well, the era of arrogant soldiers and powerful generals has begun.

The internal struggle of the Pinglu army is to be precisely the internal struggle of the Han generals of the Pinglu army and the Goguryeo generals. Under the instigation of the Goguryeo generals Hou Xiyi and others, Andong Deputy Protector Wang Xuanzhi poisoned Liu Zhengchen to death, and Hou Xiyi and others supported him as the governor. Dong Qin, a member of the Liu Zhengchen faction, led thousands of Han people from Yingzhou to cross the south, and formed a group together with Tian Shengong, a rebel general who had previously surrendered to the court, and actually controlled Qingqi and Zizhou and other prefectures. Although Li Gao was the Jiedushi, he was all navy troops and could not fight against these elite soldiers and generals of the Pinglu army. He could only use Dong Qin as the deputy envoy and Tian Shengong as the military envoy of the capital, throwing the defenses along Qizhou to them, and he was the leader of the transportation team in Dengzhou. Fortunately, Dong Qin had to rely on him to receive military supplies from the south, so he was respectful to him, but in fact, the warlords have been transformed into this place.

This is an inevitable result in troubled times, and this is just the beginning. As long as the troubled times do not end, warlordization will only become more and more intense.

"What's the current situation in Pinglu?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Wang Xuanzhi's health is not good, but he is actually just a puppet. The real power is in the hands of the Goguryeo generals led by Hou Xiyi. However, they are still obedient in greed for the money and food of the court, and occasionally they will go south to attack the area controlled by Shi Siming."

Li Gao said.

"Then let them do whatever they want, anyway, the court has no energy to deal with them now."

Yang Feng said.

This is the case with his request for Pinglu. Even when Liu Zhengchen was before, there was no difference from warlords. Dong Qin's southward journey was just to transfer control to the Goguryeo generals. As long as Hou Xiyi and others had not betrayed the Tang Dynasty, they would tolerate it for the time being. There is no need to deal with such a place behind the enemy. There is no need to deal with it at present. There is no need to fill it with enough army. It will only be cheaper to deal with the Khitan and Xi people around. The Goguryeo people are still obedient. When they have time to deal with them, they will just be an order of appointment and removal. If they dare to fight against the court, they will be destroyed with just a legitimate reason.

The same is true for Dong Qin.

It is normal for Li Gao to surrender these arrogant soldiers and generals.

Who are these people?

This has been fighting against all kinds of forces in the Northeast for a lifetime. Dong Qin could beat the Xi cavalry so that the leader was sacrificed by him. How could he be convinced that Li Gao had never actually been to the battlefield?

Including his subordinates, they were all climbed out of the pile of dead people. How could Li Gao and the paper-armored Jiangnan naval soldiers suppress it? To put it bluntly, just those veterans of Pinglu Army who could defeat ten sailors on the land. Such a savage and fierce veteran, probably only Yang Feng's talent, could be subdued. Li Gao would definitely not be able to do so.

"Then I will report to the saints, and I will re-represent you as the governor of the Navy. The Denglai Navy went south and the grain transport was handed over to the governor of Qingqi. Now that Henan has been pacified, the grain transport is smooth and there is no need for sea transportation. Just leave some ships to transport food and money to Pinglu."

Yang Feng said.

Li Heng had already handed over the full power of the battle against Tubo, but he was still the deputy marshal. Li Chu was also the Grand Marshal of the World, but he did not directly lead the army. Guo Ziyi was in charge of the war in Hebei with the deputy marshal. He had offensive and defended with An Qingxu's troops but maintained an advantage. He was currently mobilizing the army of various governors to prepare to besiege Xiangzhou. As for whether the battle in Xiangzhou would blow again, it is unknown whether Yang Feng's army supervisor Yu Chaoen was favored by Li Heng for his brilliant achievements. He had been appointed as the military commander of Guan Junrong as the military commander. The battle against Tubo was controlled by Yang Feng, the deputy marshal. The three towns of the Western Regions, Longyou, Hexi, Annan, Lingnan and the navy were all controlled by him.

Of course, it's actually just a false name.

Even in modern times, it is impossible to command the army like this. In this era without telegrams, what would he do to command such a war zone with a span of more than 5,000 kilometers? It would take several months to send his orders from the Western Regions to Annan! What he could actually command were the three towns in the Western Regions.

This deputy marshal just fooled the people.

After all, the King of Nanyang has such a wonderful achievement that suddenly driving people back to the Western Regions will make the people criticize Li Heng.

"There's one more thing, I need a shipbuilder."

Then Yang Feng said.

"This is easy. There are not many ships to build in various boats. I was recruited by the idle young and strong men into the navy. However, those real old craftsmen were relying on building some canal ships to maintain them. I was still the commander. I wanted to use one order."

Li Gao said.

"But what about letting them go to the river?"

Yang Feng said.

"Go to the river? What's the use of building a ship in the desert in the river?"

Li Gao said in surprise.

"Who said that ships cannot be built in the desert? Who said that there is no sea in the desert? Have you forgotten that there is a Caspian Sea on my map, and that there is a Black Sea in the west of the Caspian Sea that can directly lead to the Thais? I not only want to build ships, but also have to build ships on a large scale. Back then, I promised the Supreme Emperor that it would be impossible for me to fight from land to Thais in ten years, but it would be possible for me to let the fleet sail from the Black Sea to Thais in ten years."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Since it's for the Supreme Emperor, I will definitely help you with all my strength!"

Li Gao said.

After he was dealt with, Yang Feng immediately wrote to his fans, and his fans forwarded Li Heng. On the grounds that Henan pacified the canal transportation and no longer needed sea transportation, the Denglai Naval Division retreated south, and split the Jiangnan East Road to establish the east and west Zhejiang and Fujian Roads. Li Gao was the governor of Zhejiang East Road, and the former Denglai Naval Division became the Zhejiang Naval Division. The Zhejiang Naval Division and the Annan Naval Division formed the Expedition Naval Division, Li Gao was the governor of the two towns, and led the two towns of the Naval Division to escort the Xingying, formed by Annan, Lingnan and Zhejiang East Towns, and Gao Xianzhi, the governor of Annan, was the governor of the Xingying, and the naval divisions of the naval divisions, and the naval divisions of the sea and land were expeditioning to Tianzhu.

Yang Feng led the three towns in the Western Region and the foreign troops of various vassal states to the south from Hezhong, through Tocharo and Gaofuzhou to enter Tianzhu, and met in the east and west routes, and then went north from Tianzhu to attack Luozi.

Anyway, that's his plan.

The northern line was handed over to the Longyou and Hexi armies to defend against the Tubo army from leaving the plateau.

In fact, according to this plan, the main force attacking from India north was Yang Feng's three Western Regions Army. Gao Xianzhi and Li Gao's main task was to control the base in Bangladesh. There was no way. After all, if you want to fight, Yang Feng's subordinates, especially this kind of lonely army, and in the battle of hundreds of miles of plateaus and mountains, it was safer to play. This was a plan that had been prepared for many years and took countless financial resources.

This is only allowed to succeed but not fail.

Of course, this is no big deal for Yang Feng, for Li Heng. If he succeeds, he doesn't have to worry about the threat of Tubo. If he fails, he will also be a blow to Yang Feng's reputation. This is also something he is happy to see. Therefore, Li Heng has always been indifferent to this expedition between east and west. No matter how Yang Feng likes to do it, it is a good thing for him to win or lose.

I'm afraid he's more willing to fail.

After all, the threat to him by Tubo is not as great as Yang Feng's.

After sending the letter, Yang Feng did not stay and wait for Li Mi to reply. Instead, he took the warship provided by Li Gao and went south directly. He rode the northwest wind in late autumn and quickly crossed the Yangtze River estuary and began to search for shipbuilders from the Mingzhou shipyard. These shipyards are still under the jurisdiction of Li Gao, and all craftsmen are under the command of the commander. Although the construction of large sea ships has stopped, the construction of the canal has not stopped. Now, whether on the Yangtze River, canal or Han River, all the canals are being replaced with new canals. These canals support the wartime Tang Dynasty. All the money and grain plundered from the Jianghuai River are constantly transported to Hebei and Guanzhong, ensuring the battle of millions of troops.

But it was not the time before to do their best to build a large-scale ship. With Li Gao's orders and the reputation of the King of Nanyang, those yard supervisors who were also trained by Yang Feng himself were still very cooperative with their teachers. As for those craftsmen...

They have no say.

Besides, Yang Feng has a high salary, and he is the guardian god of the Tang Dynasty in the minds of the common people. He took out gold, silver, land and even women to seduce him. There will always be some craftsmen impressed. Although the number is definitely not too large, Yang Feng was not prepared to ask for too many. For him, there were hundreds of craftsmen, and he could start building bird boats or blessed boats in the Caspian Sea first. In this way, he would cultivate more craftsmen while building them. After he seized the base on the Black Sea, there would be almost enough manpower to build new sailboats.

He recruited boat yards along the coastline. When he left the last boat yard in Zhangzhou, he had recruited more than 500 craftsmen. These people were led by officials who flattered him from all over the country and supervisors of banks from various places. They were sent to Runzhou together with their families, boarded the ship in Runzhou and sent to Chengdu, and handed over to Yang Yan, who is still in Chengdu. Yang Yan would arrange to send them to Hezhong again.

Yang Feng didn't care about these things.

In short, in the next year, they will reach Broken Leaf.

And he continued to go south.

The next stop was Guangzhou, but when he rode a thousand-ton giant ship provided by Li Gao and went upstream along the Pearl River under the escort of eight bird boats, he finally saw the city of Guangzhou in the distance.

"What's going on?"

He looked at the rolling smoke in Guangzhou City and said in shock.

"No, the Hu people in the city rebelled!"
