As the eldest son of the emperor, Zhang Yong has ambitions in his heart.

But he also knew clearly that he was not the crown prince's opponent. How could the position of crown prince be a joke?

Before the position of the prince was determined, he had the ability to wrestle the other party. However, after the position was determined, it was the inheritance of Liang Kingdom.

The crown prince is the foundation of the country.

The mainstream ministers in the court will support the crown prince.

Zhang Yong came out to make achievements, because he was outstanding in martial arts and brave enough to break down. In addition, the blood in his body was calling him, which was a natural result.

Second, I also hope to obtain credit for a larger fief.

There is one thing that Zhang Yong is very confident. His father likes him very much. In fact, his mother doesn’t have to worry. He is the eldest son and he is liked by his father. Sooner or later, he will be crowned king.

Now through a series of military achievements, his future fiefdom may be very large.

The population of Goguryeo is at least one million, plus land, population, etc. in Sanhan, Lelang County and other lands, population, etc., Yanzhou is actually quite large.

Being the King of Yan seems to be good.

For a moment, Zhang Yong was moved. But he still shook his head and said to He Min: "You haven't figured out anything. The emperor is a very independent person. There must be a reason why he has been reluctant to make his sons king. And the emperor gave him the orphan. The emperor didn't want to give him the orphan, and it would be useless even if he asked again. Do you understand?"

Zhang Yong admired his father very much.

Not to mention the courage and good fighting for the time being, the father is brave and good at fighting. Although the power is delegated to the Shangshutai, his own authority is increasing day by day.

Although the father is lustful, he never listens to the wind on his side. He is strong and can maintain his own opinions. Lust is just an instinct and will not turn into a political crisis.

Faced with such a strong father, as the eldest son of the emperor, he must understand some truths clearly.

"No." He Min was very unwilling to give in, but after opening her mouth, she could only bow to her promise.

He understood this principle, but if Zhang Yong could be named King of Yan and establish the Yan Kingdom... he would be like a deer rushing around when he thought of this.

The three of them quickly dispersed.

Zhang Yong began to temporarily take up Zang Hong's position as governor and issue orders. Because the murder of King Bogu of Goguryeo, some separatist forces in Goguryeo had undergone some changes.

Some people sent people to surrender to the domestic city, while others rebel.

Zhang Yong pulled Qi Qiong, the prime minister of the original country, to appease the surrendered people. For those rebels, they also sent Liang troops to attack everywhere, plowing the courtyard and sweeping holes, and destroying them one by one.

Although he had never done such a thing, he did it very well.

.............

Youzhou, Guangyang City.

Originally Yuan Xi’s governor’s mansion, in the hall.

Zhang Xiu knelt on the main seat in a white dress, looking happy. Below was the civil and military ministers who were accompanying him.

"I am worthy of being my son, everything has been settled." Zhang Xiu laughed without hiding his love for Zhang Yong.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty." Cai Mao was the first to bow to Zhang Xiu. The other civil and military ministers also bowed to him, "Congratulations."

"Haha." Zhang Xiu laughed constantly, and it took him a long time to stop the laughter, and turned to Cai Mao and said, "Print an edict and order the Goguryeo general Yongshan to lead the Goguryeo people in Liaodong County to the east to capture Lelang County."

Yongshan is the son of Qi Qiong and has surrendered to the 50,000 Goguryeo elite soldiers.

Zhang Xiu had a plan in his mind about how to pacify Lelang County. He first drove the tiger and swallowed the wolf, and let the 50,000 Goguryeo elite soldiers work to capture Lelang County.

The strength of the three Koreans is not as strong as Goguryeo, and they are divided into three forces. This time, they will be successful in sending troops.

"No." Cai Mao bowed his hand to agree.

"I ordered Hu Cheer to prepare his men and horses and baggage. I personally led 40,000 cavalry to Lelang County. Xu Huang was responsible for the military affairs of Youzhou. If Yuan Shao came to attack, he would lead his troops to defeat him."

Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, and his pair of tiger eyes exuded a murderous aura. Now Yuan Shao is worthless in his heart.

It is worth a little money to defend the city, once Yuan Shao dares to send troops to fight in the field.

Eat him.

"promise."

Everyone agreed.

On that day, the Liang army prepared food, grass and supplies. The next morning, Zhang Xiu turned over his horse, led Hu Cheer, Dian Wei and other 40,000 cavalrymen, and along with the civil officials, he went northeast together.

The army first arrived in Liaoxi County, and then walked through Shanhaiguan, which had only been repaired, and arrived in Liaodong County.

"Da da da da da."

The Liang army cavalry was majestic and mighty, and the sound of horse hooves was deafening.

The flags of the character "liang" are flying in the wind and roaring. It is already spring, but the weather in Liaodong is cold, and it is still a while before the spring sowing.

Suddenly the army stopped, Zhang Xiu rode his horse behind him, and raised his head in confusion. Has something happened? It's impossible. The 50,000 elite soldiers from Goguryeo here have already gone to Lelang County.

"Da da da da da."

A cavalry came against the road and was stopped by the guards for questioning. Ma Dai rode his horse to Zhang Xiu and bowed and said, "Your Majesty. There is an elder blocking the road ahead, saying that he wants to thank Your Majesty."

Zhang Xiu was a little surprised. If he was a marching in a hurry, Zhang Xiu would definitely not see him and just send someone to drive away the people blocking the road, but Zhang Xiu is not in a hurry now.

"Go and see." Zhang Xiu greeted him, waved his horse whip and drove his war horse forward. Ma Dai and Dian Wei quickly led more than a hundred personal soldiers and followed him.

After crossing countless cavalry, the group arrived at the front.

"Your Majesty." Seeing Zhang Xiu coming, Hu Cheer turned over and dismounted and saluted respectfully. Zhang Xiu waved his hand casually, indicating that he didn't have to be too polite.

Then he turned over and dismounted and looked at the old man who saluted respectfully in front of him.

The old man had silver hair and was wearing coarse cloth clothes, trembling in the cold wind. There was a middle-aged man next to him holding him, probably the old man's son.

The son lowered his head in fear and looked at his feet.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu took off the heavy cloak behind him and handed it to Ma Dai beside him. Ma Dai reached out to take the cloak, and walked forward and put it on the old man's body cleverly.

"I am the emperor. Why did the elder stop my army and why did he say he would thank me?" Zhang Xiu asked curiously.

The old man was covered with a cloak and felt the warmth. He looked at Zhang Xiu gratefully, bent over and said, "Since the end of the Han Dynasty, Liaodong has been repeatedly invaded by Goguryeo, Xianbei and Wuhuan people. Lao I had three sons, and two of them were killed. His Majesty first defeated the Xianbei people, and then the Wuhuan people, and even more destroyed Goguryeo. It made us Liaodong people free from the tiger claws of foreign tribes. Although Lao I was a man of a sage, I was grateful to Your Majesty for his power. When I heard that the royal army came here, I boldly stopped the army and came to thank Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu was very happy.

The people's hearts are for me.

This is also the difference between action and inaction. Yuan Shao had the name of Youzhou territory, but allowed the Xianbei and Wuhuan people to ravage the Han people.

If Yuan Shao's army arrived in Liaodong, would he encounter such an elder?

Zhang Xiu smiled and helped the old man up, saying, "Thank you, the elder for coming to thank me for this matter. But all the kings under the world are kings, and all the kings are kings. I inherited the Han throne and had the world. It is my duty to expel the barbarians and protect our Han people."

Zhang Xiu said sincerely, and the old man's eyes couldn't help but turn red, remembering his two sons who died tragically under the barbarian sword.

If the emperor at that time could be so strong, his son would not have died.

And it is their happiness to have such an emperor in power.

The old man had no attachment to the Han Dynasty, but his sense of belonging to the Liang Dynasty was unparalleled. He trembled and stretched out his old hand, untied a wine gourd on his waist, raised it to Zhang Xiu and said, "The wine he brewed is dedicated to Your Majesty."

Zhang Xiu did not refuse, reached out to take the wine gourd, pulled the plug, drank it hard, and smiled and said, "Good wine."

The old man smiled happily, and his son was no longer afraid, and raised his head and looked at the emperor boldly.

Emperor, I'm afraid I can only see you once in my life.

Zhang Xiu chatted with the old man for a while and learned that the old man was named Wu Bei. In his early years, he worked under the command of the Wuhuan Captain of the Han Dynasty and killed Wuhuan people and Xianbei people.

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel respectful. This is an old man from the frontier.

However, Zhang Xiu quickly said goodbye to the old man, turned over and returned to the formation. Before leaving, he gave the old man some rice meat despite the old man's rejection.

Under the eyes of the old man and his son, Liang Jun continued to go east.

The old man is not an isolated case. After the Liang army entered Liaodong, many people and officials from many cities and villages organized to supply Liang army with rice and meat.

This is what is called eating a pot of rice to welcome the king's army.

The people of Liaodong did not miss the Han Dynasty, but were only grateful to the powerful Liang Dynasty.

They looked at the 40,000 cavalry of the Liang army, and the "Liang" flag, and the sense of belonging in their hearts could not be explained in words.

The army passed Liaodong County and arrived in Lelang County.

This place is located in the northwest of the Peninsula, and it occupies all the plains and good places on the Peninsula.

However, the Han courts in the past did not pay much attention to this place. Like Jiaozhou, they were used as exiled criminals. There were Han people, San Han people, and descendants of [Jizi Korea] in the area.

Zhang Xiu led the army to Daifang City.

Currently, Yongshan led 50,000 elite Goguryeo soldiers to station here. He and the officials in the city of Daofang came to the city gate to welcome Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu first sent Dian Wei into the city and controlled the city. He then came to the city gate with Ma Dai, exchanged greetings with Yongshan and others for a while, and then entered the city. He came to a mansion prepared by the county magistrate and sat down in the hall.

No other officials were qualified to come in, but Yongshan, who had 50,000 troops, was the last seat.

Zhang Xiu first said to Zang Hong: "Love. The entire peninsula is Lelang County. This belt is Fangcheng, and it will be the capital of Lelang County in the future. I have ordered some Yuan soldiers who surrendered in Youzhou to come to Lelang County one after another. After pacifying Jizhou, I will migrate some Han people to come here one after another. You can use this as a base to manage Lelang County for ten years. Ten years later, I will manage the remaining Yanzhou counties."

Same as Yunzhou.

Zhang Xiu had a plan in his mind. With the marriage age of the Han people, fifteen years will be a generation. As long as the world is stable, the population will grow.
