Imperial Palace, Xichang Building,
Yang Dong stared at the map on the wall, his eyes flashing with thought.
There are three forces in Youzhou today. They are the remnants of the Later Jin Dynasty, Da Qin Dynasty and Da Zhou Dynasty.
Later Jin occupied the horse farm, which was an important military location in Youzhou. Da Qin's army, on the other hand, was in the middle of Youzhou, blocking the Hou Jin cavalry's retreat.
Among them, Guyuguan is the most important.
If we can occupy Guyu Pass, we can form a situation where one man can defeat the pass and ten thousand men can't open it. But now Guyuguan may have fallen into the hands of Great Qin long ago.
If you want to recapture Guyuguan, you must first let the Qin army withdraw. But how easy is it to get the Qin army to withdraw?
Yang Dong frowned slightly and continued to look at the border between Pingzhou and Youzhou.
When the Qin army entered Youzhou, there were actually only two ways to go. One is through Daopingzhou and borrows the Daoling River waterway. The other is to take advantage of Houjin Road and cross Shenyan Mountain into Youzhou.
Wait, something's not right!
Qin's move this time was to cut off Hou Jin's retreat. Therefore, they will definitely not go to Shenyan Mountain. But if they did not go to Shenyan Mountain, it meant that they chose to go to Lingjiang Waterway.
But the Lingjiang Waterway, isn't that a heavily guarded area in Pingzhou? Is it possible that Yang Yanzao had colluded with Da Qin?
Disasters, every one of them is a disaster!
Yang Dong frowned and looked at the map for a long time, but couldn't find a way to break the situation.
The Qin army is so ambitious that if they don't retreat, there will be no peace in Youzhou. But if the Qin army retreats, then there is a high probability that the Jin Iron Cavalry will go directly south to Youzhou and push forward all the way.
If they want to stop Hou Jin's cavalry, they can only defend Guyu Pass. But the army of Zhou Dynasty...hey, let’s not mention it!
That's all, for the current plan, we can only take one step at a time.
However, we still have to find a way to take back Guyu Pass and hold it!
After thinking about this, Yang Dong's thoughts gradually became clear.
"Shu Mouse!"
"Mr. Yang, my subordinate is here!"
Shu Shushu was on call and appeared in front of Yang Dong in a flash.
"Go to the Lenggong Manufacturing Factory immediately and ask Mr. Lu about the development status of the cement. Has its hardness been improved?"
"Also, let's ask Mr. Lu what the current output of gunpowder is."
Shu Mouse immediately lowered his head and said yes, turned around and left the small building.
However, Yang Dong's brows did not relax, but continued to stare at the map and talk to himself.
"Sigh... Even if the cement and gunpowder are produced enough, it will not be easy to transport them to Guyuguan. Unless..."
"Wait, there it is!"
Yang Dong's eyes lit up, he turned around and strode towards the outside of the small building.
Maybe there is someone who can solve his current dilemma.
But the premise is that the other party must cooperate!
About half an hour later, Yang Dong appeared outside a small courtyard in the northwest corner of the palace.
There is a row of small courtyards here, but almost no one lives there on weekdays.
On the one hand, it is because this place has been in disrepair for a long time, and many walls have even collapsed. But there is another reason, that is, it is really far away from Shangqing Palace.
Most of the people living here are the former emperor's abandoned concubines, or some unloved concubines. m.
Although it is not a cold palace, it is also known as a small cold palace.
"Little barbarian girl, are you asleep?"
Yang Dong knocked lightly on the wooden door. Not long after, the sound of rustling clothes came from the room.
After waiting for a cup of tea, an extremely unhappy voice came from the door.
"Yang Dong? You came to me so late at night, but what's the important matter?"
With a "squeak" sound, the wooden door was opened by a white and tender hand.
Wan Yanyue, with her chestnut hair hanging loose, stared at Yang Dong with an unhappy expression.
"Um...Princess Wanyan, I came to visit late at night to discuss important matters. Is it convenient for me to come in?"
"Um……"
Wan Yanyue pondered for a while, then she stared at Yang Dong and suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Hehe, you can come in if you want. You are a eunuch anyway, so you can't do anything to me!"
"you……"
Yang Dong's face was filled with anger immediately.
Little barbarian girl, do you really think that I am a eunuch?
Believe it or not, I will let you taste the horror of a six-inch giant thing today?
etc!
Under the cold moonlight, Yang Dong seemed to have discovered something!
His breath froze, and his eyes were firmly locked on Wan Yanyue's chest.
Damn it, don’t prairie women wear underwear?
The hillock is not big, but it is strong enough.
Hmm... the light cherry blossom color does look a bit like Mr. Takizawa...
Ahem!
"Come in, what are you doing standing there in a daze?"
Wan Yanyue's tone was full of doubts, and she didn't realize that Yang Dong had taken advantage of her.
"Ahem, here we come!"
Yang Dong coughed slightly, immediately withdrew his gaze and entered the living room.
The living room is not big, but the layout is extremely luxurious. It can be seen that Yang Dong still gave relatively good treatment to this Fanbang princess.
"Tell me, why do you come to me so late?"
Wan Yanyue held her waist and sat down. She felt so sleepy that she couldn't help but yawn.
The small mountain bag trembled, and the eye-catching method controlled Yang Dong again.
Fortunately, this time Yang Dong was prepared in advance and used mercury the moment he was arrested. He coughed lightly and said:
"Princess Wanyan, I came to visit late at night because I have something to discuss with the princess."
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you have to say! I heard from you girls in Dazhou that going to bed early and getting up early can help you grow taller."
But little barbarian girl, you obviously need to grow up now!
Yang Dong cursed in his heart, and said with a serious face on the surface:
"Princess, if you want to grow taller, you'd better drink a glass of milk before going to bed. If...if it can be paired with papaya, that would be even better..."
"What is papaya? Why have I never heard of it?"
Wan Yanyue flashed her beautiful eyes, and the sleepiness in her crystal eyes was slightly lessened, and there was a bit more curiosity.
"That's all, we don't have that stuff here. If the princess wants to eat it, I'm afraid she has to go to southern Xinjiang."
"Speaking of which, is the princess interested in doing business with Dazhou?"
"What did you say!?"
Wan Yanyue's eyes widened and she suddenly stood up from the wooden table.
Under the influence of inertia, the hillock also jumped twice.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Who doesn't know that your Great Zhou Dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, and strictly prohibited caravans from doing business with us, Houjin?"
"Why, is it possible that you want to take refuge in me, Houjin, so you plan to treat this as a certificate of surrender?"
"That's okay! After all, you Zhou Dynasty has too many good things and many interesting gadgets, but we Houjin don't have them at all. But... can you convince your Majesty?"
When Yang Dong heard this, he immediately nodded.
"Of course I can persuade your Majesty. But... princess, can you find a way to make your Houjin cavalry let go of the caravan?"
"After all, Youzhou is still in your hands now."
Some people died, but not completely...
