"Liaodong?" Zhou Zhou said, "I heard that Your Majesty intends to set up a new Songmo Protectorate in the Huoershen Grassland?"

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Your news is very well-versed. Yes, Bailang City has been built. I have decided to set up the Songmo Protectorate in Bailang City. Guo Xiaoke moved from the right to the Songmo Protectorate from the Liaodong County Magistrate to the Songmo Protectorate. The Marine tribe suddenly cried, and the Dingling tribe Cui Xudu sent people to grazing on the Huoershen grassland, and the Khitan Pixu tribe. The military leader of their tribe told me that he was not used to being in the Qinshui grassland of Wuhou and wanted to move back to the Huoershen grassland. I saw that the Pixu tribe has always been respectful in the past two years and agreed to him."

"What does Your Majesty mean to ask me to go to Liaodong?"

Li Chongjiu said: "After Guo Xiaoke moved right, you will be responsible for the vacancies of Liaodong County."

Zhou Zhou looked shocked and said, "Your Majesty."

Li Chongjiu waved his hand and said, "This is not a good job. Liaodong is even more bitter and colder than Youjing, and it is mostly barren land. The land of the Mart and Dingling conflict with the Han people who moved there, as well as the abductors, the military households of Goguryeo and Khitans captured in the past, plus the remnants of the Khitans, and the Goguryeo people who occasionally invaded the territory. This time, Goguryeo took my southern expedition and raised troops to cross the Liao River, killed and plundered 3,000 of my people, and set fire to burn several villages to white land. I must avenge this hatred, so I have a lot of burden on your shoulders."

Zhou Zhou heard this and said, "The harder things are, the better. Things are not difficult, and we cannot show the ability of the Wei minister. Your Majesty, please tell me, what should I do?"

Li Chongjiu said: "As a county magistrate, you should first defend Liaodong County. Protect the territory and the people are the first priority. The soldiers of Liaodong County can be dispatched by you, and as for Dengzhou, the naval camps in the two places of Duli Town will also be controlled. I said that if you want to take revenge, Goguryeo killed 3,000 of my people. I want to kill 30,000 of them. Even if you let go, I will order the Songmo Protectorate's Mansion of Guo Du to give you all the convenience. If necessary, you can send troops to help you. However, Songmo Protectorate's Mansion will mainly assist the Ruoshuizhou Mansion of Wang Dushi to prevent the Turks. You should still rely more on yourself."

After hearing this, Zhou Zhou said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Chen Tang has something to say. Those who violate the powerful Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away. I am willing to follow Chen Tang and Ban Dingyuan will do something big. However, I am requesting that you directly advise Your Majesty directly in everything, without elbowing others."

Li Chongjiu glanced at Zhou Zhou and asked, "Why?"

Zhou Zhou said: "I am reckless. I can't have a good relationship with Shangguan, so I don't want others to elbow and hope that I can do everything myself."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Okay, I give you this power. Don't let my trust in you down."

After hearing this, Zhou Zhou bowed and stepped forward with high steps.

Li Chongjiu nodded when he saw Zhou Zhou's expression and transferred him to Liaodong County as the county magistrate. On the one hand, he entrusted him with great importance and rewards and punishments, and on the other hand, he kept him away from Youjing. I think he would never have the chance to see Pingping again in the future.

The next day, Li Chongjiu's boat passed Banzhu Ferry and arrived at Luokou on a boat.

Luokou is the mouth of Luo River entering the Yellow River. Yang Guang became the water transport hub in Luoyang for Luoyang to lead the valley. The Luo River reached the Yellow River and followed the old path of Kaiyang Canal by Zhang Chun of the Eastern Han Dynasty to dig the canal. From Luo River to the south, Li Chongjiu could take a boat to the Xiyuan of Luoyang City. Then, from the Xiyuan, take a boat to the Luoyang Palace City through Luoshui.

In order to break through Wang Shichong's Luoyang Palace City, Li Chongjiu sent naval warships to attack Luoyang directly from Luoshui.

You can imagine Yang Guang's passion at that time, leaving the Luoyang Palace City where he lives. Without walking, just take a boat north and head straight to Youjing, and go south to Jiangdu, which saves the pain of carriage and horses. The two canals of Yongji Canal and Tongji Canal will connect the entire Sui Dynasty, one south and one north in one fell swoop. This Grand Canal laid the foundation for the centralized hegemony of the entire unified Central Plains dynasty for thousands of years in the future.

Under the night, the giant lights on the bow of the boat were as dazzling as the sparks in the sky. Li Chongjiu lived on the deck and looked at the scenery of Luoshui. Li Chongjiu saw the beautiful scenery of Luoshui and was unwilling to eat, so he watched the scenery on both sides of the straits on the deck.

The night was getting darker, and I heard the sound of footsteps behind me. Li Chongjiu turned his head and saw that it was Yang Ehuang. Yang Ehuang was wearing an E-yellow and walked towards Yingying.

"Ehuang!"

Yang Ehuang gave the cloak to Li Chongjiu and said, "The deck is strong, your Majesty must take care of himself."

When Li Chongjiu saw Yang Ehuang's expression, he knew that she had forgiven herself in her heart. Li Chongjiu couldn't help but feel moved and said, "I know, but you see that the Luo River is far away. Cao Zhi wrote the Goddess of Luo River here, his words were as graceful as a stunning geese and as gentle as a dragon. He was also here in Luo River. The divine turtle carried the Luo Book on his back and offered it to Dayu."

Yang Ehuang said leisurely: "That's how you said, when I and my father were traveling to Jiangdu on a dragon boat, he said to me in person."

Li Chongjiu looked at Yang Ehuang's expression and knew that he remembered his father and said with a smile: "This shows that I coincide with your father."

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu pointed at his feet and said, "I suddenly remembered that your father opened this canal when he went from Luoyang to Youjing. If he had to go on land vehicles and horses, the wheels were worn out, and the horses were thinner. The journey would take at least ten thousand miles, and it took three months to reach it. You said that if there was a rebellion in Youjing, the court would send troops to suppress it. If three months on the road, the soldiers would have been at the end of their strength. How could they have the strength to suppress the rebellion? This is the disadvantage of the dangerous mountains and rivers."

"But now we take a boat from Luoyang to Youjing, and we don't have to work hard every day. We can arrive in the boat for fifty days. I can get this benefit today, thanks to your father's kindness, and enjoy the fruits of his success."

After hearing what Li Chongjiu said, Yang Ehuang looked at her tears and said, "Yes, I have been injustice for this. Everyone in the world slandered my father, saying that he was extravagant and very happy to be successful, but no one saw the benefits of Yongjiqu and Tongjiqu. But my father usually said in his life that he should be worthy of his own heart when doing things, so why don't people care about future generations and outsiders say that you don't care. But if your father hears your words, he must be happy."

"Of course I am his good son-in-law." Li Chongjiu said with a smile. Li Chongjiu couldn't help but think of his other father-in-law, Li Yuan, and his heart was not so comfortable.

Yang Ehuang said: "You are a man who can beat snakes and sticks."

Seeing the beauty angry, Li Chongjiu stepped forward and took Yang Ehuang's hand, stared at her eyes and said with a gentle voice: "Right, wrong, merit, and demerit are free in people's hearts. Even if they are blinded within a hundred years, someone will come to show their truth and justice in a thousand years. I will give him justice."

"Xiao Jiu, you."

Li Chongjiu said seriously: "The posthumous title of "Yang" by Li Yuan, who was given to your father and emperor, is really disrespectful. He likes to be far away and called Yang. He goes away and says Yang. He goes away and says Yang. He goes against the will of heaven and abuse the people. Li Yuan is ungrateful and I will never follow him."
