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."
Seeing that more and more people supported sending troops, Lu Su could only sigh.
It's going to cost money again.
Suddenly, a guard came in, claiming that there were scouts outside who wanted to see Xun You.Liu Ke waved his hand and agreed to Xun You's resignation, after which Xun You took back a secret report.
"My lord, it's not good. The news of Gongsun Du's expulsion of the lord's envoy has reached Chang'an."
so fast?
Almost at the same speed as Gan Ning, after all, Gan Ning was stranded in Liaodong for a few days.
"This Cao Mengde, he will make small moves as soon as he returns." Guo Jia complained.
"Now the whole world is watching how Yangzhou responds." Jia Xu said.
Everyone thought that Liu Ke would not mobilize the crowd and suffer this hidden loss, but Liu Ke refused to let them do what they wanted.
"Get ready, teach Gongsun Du an unforgettable lesson!"
Chapter 420 Eighth Gongsun Du's Reply
Who would have thought that Sun Ce would be so shameless.
Liu Ke really didn't know what to say, so he finished the autumn hunting and led his army back to Yangzhou.
As soon as he entered Jiujiang County, tens of thousands of people lined the road to welcome him.
"Welcome the Marquis of Dongyang!"
Liu Ke was very surprised, and said: "Why did you make such a big show, isn't it a waste of people and money?"
"My lord doesn't know something, it's all the people's spontaneous behavior." Guo Jia said.
Liu Ke suddenly understood that he had made the decision for the people, and the people were grateful to him.
"My lord, please show your face, now is the best time to conquer the hearts of the people." Guo Jia said.
You're really welcome!
The people of Yangzhou are already very loyal, but Liu doesn't mind taking it a step further.
He rode his horse through the crowd.
"Long live the Marquis of Dongyang!"
Countless people cheered and shouted.
Liu Ke kept smiling, enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by stars, but this was the first time he felt so comfortable.
"The Marquis of Dongyang is indeed a talented person!"
"Dongyang Hou can make decisions for us, and we can die for Dongyang Hou!"
"I want to join the army when I grow up, it's so handsome!"
……
"The hearts of the people are available!" Liu Ke was filled with emotion.
"It's all the result of my lord's hard work." Guo Jia said.
"It's not enough, the war is not over yet." Liu Ke said.
"My lord wants to seize the world, who can stop it?" Guo Jiahao said angrily.
"Feng Xiao, don't say flattery, if the princes unite again, we won't be able to bear it." Liu Ke said.
If the princes unite against Yangzhou for the second time, Liu Ke is confident of winning, but at the same time, Yangzhou will definitely be destroyed.
In this case, it is better to wait for the opportunity silently.
"Our Yangzhou is not what it used to be, the Allied forces come and go." Guo Jia said.
Liu Ke was praised along the way, and finally returned to Dongyang City. If he was slower, he would be drifting away.
