When Li Yin saw Li Ke, he couldn't help running over excitedly, and the two brothers hugged each other.

"Six Lang."

Li Ke also patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

Compared to the last time I saw him in Yangzhou, Li Yin seemed to have matured a lot and grown a little taller.

After all, he is a teenager, and it is time to grow his body.

"Fifth brother."

"Sixth brother."

Li Yin looked at Li You again, and the two greeted each other with a smile.

"Third brother, I have prepared a welcome dinner for you at the house, let's go there."

Li Yin immediately led the way for Li Ke and Li You.

"Let all the soldiers come down, go to the Dengzhou Navy Garrison to temporarily rest for supplies, and send people to guard the fleet and supplies."

Before Li Ke left the pier, he gave Su Dingfang and Qu Wenkang an order.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Su Dingfang and Qu Wenkang nodded immediately.

Immediately, the three of Li Ke left from the pier in a carriage.

After entering Dengzhou City, Li Ke observed the situation in Dengzhou through the car window.

Looking all the way down, he found that Dengzhou is still very prosperous, although it is still a little worse than Yangzhou and Suzhou.

But compared to other state capitals in Datang now, it is definitely ranked high.

The prosperity of industry and commerce has led to a large number of businessmen in Dengzhou, and each workshop needs to recruit manpower, which has also solved a lot of employment.

Coupled with the abundance of various materials, there are people with money who have materials, so it is naturally very prosperous.

"It's developing well."

Li Ke smiled and praised Li Yin.

Although it was all in accordance with the plan he gave and the talents and technology he provided, Li Yin also put in a lot of effort and thought.

"It's all thanks to the third brother. I just carried out the third brother's plan."

Li Yin chuckled, he didn't dare to take credit in front of Li Ke.

My family knows their own affairs. If it weren't for Li Ke's full support and help, it would have been impossible for him to develop Dengzhou into what it is now.

Now Dengzhou has become a core of the northern state capital, and it can be said that it has a bright future.

Moreover, this expedition to Goguryeo is based in Dengzhou, which will greatly enhance the status of Dengzhou.

If Goguryeo is defeated this time, Dengzhou's influence can be extended to the territory and population of Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje in the future.

At that time, the development of Dengzhou will really be on the right track.

After arriving at Li Yin's Dudu's Mansion, a sumptuous dinner has been prepared.

They are basically some special dishes of Dengzhou and the northern region. Li Ke tasted them and thought they were very good.

"Is there any news from Father? How long will it take for the army to arrive?"

Li Ke drank a glass of wine, then asked Li Yin.

Because it has been sailing at sea, it is also very closed to news on land.

"Yesterday, I received a message from my father, saying that there are still about three days' journey away, and I expect to arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Li Yin put down his chopsticks, and told Li Ke and Li You about the news he received yesterday.

"It's pretty fast."

Li Ke was a little surprised. It seems that the cultivation of the cement official road has increased the marching speed by more than 01:30 points!

"Since father is coming soon, it seems that the war is about to begin."

After Li Shimin arrived, he would naturally not waste time, and would definitely launch an attack immediately.

In other words, the long-awaited Goguryeo War will soon begin.

"How are the various supplies prepared?"

Li Ke asked Li Yin again.

Dengzhou is responsible for all the logistical support for this war, and the pressure is still very high.

"Third brother, don't worry, I started preparations a long time in advance, and now the production capacity of the major workshops in Dengzhou has been raised to the highest level, and they basically work in two shifts."

"The warehouse is full of various materials, which can fully meet the needs of the battlefield."

Li Yin assured Li Ke confidently.

The development of Dengzhou only needs to be implemented according to Li Ke's plan, and all these are handed over to Wangfu Chief Shi.

He himself is personally responsible for the entire supply chain, increasing the production capacity of various military supplies and so on.

Canned food and other fast foods are piled up in the entire warehouse, staple food and other materials have also been purchased, and there are also enough warm clothes, which can fully supply the consumption of a hundred thousand troops.

"The warehouse should be guarded by people. Dengzhou is too close to Goguryeo, in case Goguryeo sends people to burn the supplies."

Li Ke nodded, and then said something to Li Yin.

"Yes, third brother!"

Hearing this, Li Yin's expression froze immediately, and he immediately paid attention to it.

He really hadn't thought about this issue before, but now he realized the risk after hearing what Li Ke said.

He immediately called the people from the Governor's Mansion, and then gave orders.

"Third brother, fifth brother has Goguryeo and Silla Baekje here, where should I develop?"

Seeing that Dengzhou will develop greatly in the future, Li You couldn't help asking Li Ke curiously.

"Isn't that simple for you? Just find a reason to include Liuqiu in my territory of Tang Dynasty."

Li Ke smiled and said to Li You.

The geographical location of Liuqiu is still very important, especially in the age of great navigation, no matter whether you go west or east, it can play a big role.

Whether it is a transit or a stop for replenishment, it is very good.

When he asked Li You to go to Quanzhou, he had the intention of looking for an opportunity to bring Liuqiu into the territory of Tang Dynasty.

"Lu Qiu?"

Hearing this, Li You couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Liuqiu is across the sea from Quanzhou where he lives, so he is naturally no stranger.

It's just that he didn't have any idea before, and felt that Liuqiu was of little value.

But now that Li Ke has said it, it obviously shows that Liuqiu has value and significance that he has not discovered.

Otherwise, Li Ke would not have said this.

After all, he is quite familiar with Li Ke's style of doing things, and he never does meaningless things.

"Third Brother, I see."

Li You nodded, with a goal in mind.

In the future, it will definitely depend on Li Ke to help him make suggestions, and he will just implement the plan given by Li Ke.

After drinking and eating, Li Ke and Li You rested in the room arranged by Li Yin.

After all, after staying on the boat for so long, it was more comfortable to return to land and sleep better.

The next day, the three of Li Ke wandered around Dengzhou and inspected the navy in Dengzhou.

The Dengzhou navy has 2 people, and there are nearly 3 large ships. The navy station looks really magnificent.

Because Dengzhou is close to Goguryeo, it needs to focus on defense, so the navy is stronger than the Yangzhou navy.

Of course, this is compared to the previous Yangzhou Navy.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Yangzhou Navy is the most powerful navy in the world, not one of them!

Regardless of the 2 people and the close to 3 large ships, it looks mighty.

Compared with it, the Yangzhou navy is indeed much weaker in momentum.

But the Yangzhou Navy has four huge ships, and the most important thing is that there are as many as 182 artillery pieces on board!

There are too many 3 ships, but in the eyes of the Yangzhou Navy, these are living targets

After inspecting around, Li Yin received a message from someone sent by Li Shimin that he would probably arrive in Dengzhou tomorrow morning.

So, the next morning, the three of Li Ke brought all the civil and military officials from Dengzhou to welcome them ten miles outside the city of Dengzhou.

It didn't take long for Li Ke to use his binoculars to see a long dragon in the distance heading here.

Obviously, this is Li Shimin coming with an army of [-]!

After a while, it became clearer and clearer. Li Ke even saw Li Shimin's car in the binoculars.

Soon, the army arrived at the place where Li Ke and others greeted them.

Li Shimin got out of the car, and the three of Li Ke stepped forward immediately.

"See Father Emperor!"

The three of Li Ke saluted Li Ke.

"When did Ke'er arrive?"

Li Shimin also smiled when he saw the three of them, and asked a question.

"My son arrived in Dengzhou the day before yesterday."

Li Ke said briefly.

"Okay, let's go to town."

Li Shimin nodded, and the group drove to Dengzhou City.

The large troops stayed and camped outside Dengzhou City, and Li Shimin led a group of generals to Dengzhou City together with Li Ke and others.

After seeing the changes in Dengzhou, Li Shimin and a group of generals were many times more surprised than Li Ke.

Li Ke knew it would be like this a long time ago, but Li Shimin and others had only heard about it before, but never actually seen it.

Now seeing the changes in Dengzhou with my own eyes, this naturally surprised everyone.

"Min'er did a good job."

Li Shimin praised Li Yin from the bottom of his heart, with a bit of relief in his tone.

It's hard to imagine that Li Min, who was so stubborn in Chang'an City before, can turn his prodigal son back and develop Dengzhou in a decent way.

"Thank you for the praise, father, it's mainly due to the third brother's contribution, and my son is just following what the third brother said."

Hearing Li Shimin's praise, Li Yin was very excited, but he still didn't get carried away, and knew who was the biggest hero.

"Yes, it seems that you have indeed grown a lot."

Seeing that Li Yin still knows how to be humble, Li Shimin believes that Li Yin is really different from before.

"You'er did a good job too."

Li Shimin immediately praised Li You again.

Since Dengzhou has developed so well, Quanzhou, which has similar data to Dengzhou, is naturally the same.

"Thank you, father, thank you, third brother, I will continue to work hard."

This was the first time for Li You to be praised by Li Shimin, so he was naturally very happy and excited.

"You do have a way."

Li Shimin glanced at Li Ke 5.9 with relief.

What were Li Yin and Li You like before?People in Chang'an City were afraid when they heard it.

Now all the prodigal sons turned back, grew and matured rapidly, and made good achievements in the fiefdom.
