Chapter 1039: The Waterman Who Can't Reach Out

Since there was no way to follow the navy warships out, the King of Wu decided to wander around. He had nothing to do anyway. He originally wanted to go to the military camp to take a look, but when he went there, the training had been stopped. It might be because of some secrets in the military camp, so the King of Wu decided to go outside.

Seeing that King Wu was going to look around, Ding Tu naturally did not dare to be negligent. The navy's secrets could not be known to King Wu, but if something happened to King Wu on his own territory, it would be really a big deal.

More than a hundred guards immediately left the military camp. They followed the King of Wu, neither too close nor too far away. As long as they could ensure the safety of the King of Wu, it would be fine. As long as you don't care about what happens in the military camp, you can do whatever you want outside. If you like the beauties of Goguryeo, we can even help you carry them back.

Although Goguryeo had been rectified several times, there were still some resistance forces within it. When these resistance forces learned that several important figures from the court had arrived, they were ready for assassination, but unfortunately they were defeated before they even started.

Fang Yiai was no pushover when he served as the Governor of Goguryeo. All he thought about every day was how to fight against these resistance forces, so when these people showed up, the Governor of Goguryeo was happiest.

Normally you guys are hiding, so it is very difficult to catch any trace of you. Some resistance forces have even fled to the deep mountains and forests. Where can we find them?

Now that they heard that the prince and two generals from the court had arrived, these resistance forces began to move around in order to find out the whereabouts of these important figures. Fang Yiai took the opportunity to spread some false news and lure them into a trap.

Currently, there are three relatively large resistance forces in the entire Goguryeo territory. The one located near the Goguryeo Navy Camp was completely wiped out yesterday. They are also the most active.

So when King Wu went out for a walk today, the soldiers at the door did not stop him. This was because the surrounding area was relatively safe. If yesterday's battle had not ended, Fang Yiai would never have dared to let King Wu go out.

"Master Fang, there's no need to follow me. I'm just taking a stroll around. If you have something to do, go back and do your thing. I heard they're busy suppressing bandits lately."

The naval generals could ignore the King of Wu, but it was different for Fang Yiai. This guy's roots were still in Chang'an City. After all, the King of Wu was Li Shimin's biological son. If he ignored it, and this matter reached Li Shimin's ears, although he would not punish him, he might punish his father.

"Your Highness, it's rare for you to come to this remote place like ours. Even if I have other things to do, I can arrange them. Yesterday, we were fighting a bandit war, and the results are pretty good. The bandits who have been bothering us for many days have been wiped out."

Fang Yiai also used another way to tell King Wu Li Ke that it was safe for you to come out here today. The reason why we sent people to stop you yesterday was not because we wanted to limit your safety, but because the surrounding environment was not very good. If something happened, we could not afford it, because you are the son of the emperor.

Prince Wu Li Ke nodded beside him. He also heard what Lord Fang meant. He was probably explaining what happened yesterday. Yesterday, Prince Wu Li Ke wanted to go outside the military camp to take a look, but was stopped by the people at the gate of the military camp. Ding Tu and his men naturally would not explain to Prince Wu Li Ke in person. In their opinion, there was no need for that.

According to their way of thinking, when they followed Li Xiang before, Li Xiang would listen to the professional opinions of these generals. As long as what they said was reasonable and well-founded, there was no need to explain it to Li Xiang. In their hearts, all princes were like this.

But Fang Yiai knew very well that only Li Xiang thought that way, while the other princes still believed that their father was the best in the world and they were the second best.

If you guys had stopped me, I wouldn't have bothered you at that time, but I would have definitely recorded this matter for you. You guys should think about what it will become in the future.

After today's explanation, King Wu Li Ke's mood was indeed much better. At least in a place like Goguryeo, there were still people who were familiar with the rules of Chang'an. If they were all the same as Ding Tu and those naval generals, King Wu Li Ke really didn't want to be a nominal commander, and he would be angry to death every day.

For example, today's naval training, Wu Wang Li Ke is already the Eastern Expedition Marshal, shouldn't you come over to ask for instructions? But these people still carried out the daily training, with no intention of changing it at all. If he wasn't afraid of being thrown into the sea, Wu Wang Li Ke would have been promoted to the general today. Why would he have to deal with a few disobedient people?

Of course, after calming down, he also knew that this was not his territory. Besides, King Wu Li Ke did not have his own personal army. If he had one, they were all lost in the attack on Xueyantuo. That should be the only army under King Wu Li Ke.

When thinking of this, King Wu Li Ke suddenly remembered another idea. Li Shimin should know that he had also trained a group in the army. So should he let himself go north to Xueyantuo just to eliminate them all on the battlefield?

But now that everyone is dead, the King of Wu has no time to pursue this matter. He can only shake his head in self-mockery. Whether it is military warfare or court strategy, he is far behind his father. In the future, he should do as he said and be a Fuso King honestly.

"What did your Highness remember?"

Seeing the heavy expression on King Wu's face, Lord Fang didn't know what had happened...

"Nothing, just remembering some things from the past. How many acres of arable land do you have around here?"

In order to cover up his previous expression, the King of Wu also began to inquire about local affairs. This can be regarded as a kind of inspection on behalf of the emperor. The young eunuch behind him has begun to record, and everything will be sent back to Chang'an City for archiving.

"To answer your Highness, when we conquered this place, there were only 120,000 mu of fertile farmland. But after our reclamation, there are now over 700,000 mu of fertile farmland."

Seeing the young eunuchs start to record, Lord Fang could not just sit there and chat, he had to give an accurate number.
