Wei Fufeng nodded and asked, "What are your influences on the Jiaodong Peninsula?"

Wang Shihui replied: "The Dengzhou Laizhou in Jiaodong Peninsula is not as crowded as Qingzhou. We can influence the state auxiliary officials and county officials, and the military officers may be replaced."

Wei Fufeng nodded and asked, "I heard that Jiaodong Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula (Dalian) are across the sea. How much do you know about the Liaodong Peninsula?"

Wang Shihui was surprised and replied: "I rarely pay attention to the Liaodong Peninsula. The Jiaodong Peninsula is vast and sparsely populated. Qingzhou is bordered by the Bohai Laizhou Bay and can directly trade with the Liaodong Peninsula."

Wei Fufeng said: "I mean, a garrison needs a foothold. If the Jiaodong Peninsula is directly captured, it will be difficult to resist the counterattack of the Xuanwu Army."

Wang Shihui nodded and said, "I only know that the Liaodong Peninsula is now occupied by the Bohai Kingdom."

"Bohai Kingdom? Could it be the Silla Kingdom (Korean/January Peninsula)?" Wei Fufeng said, never hearing about the Bohai Kingdom.

Wang Shihui said: "The Bohai Kingdom is located in the north of the Liaodong Peninsula and the Silla Kingdom. The country established by the barbarians in the northeast has been two hundred years since then. It was once a vassal state that was enthroned by the Tang Dynasty."

Wei Fufeng nodded and asked, "How big is the Bohai Kingdom?"

Wang Shihui said: "The Bohai Kingdom has a vast territory, but its land is vast and sparsely populated. It was originally a barbarian who was affiliated with Goguryeo.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, troops were sent to destroy Goguryeo, and the territory occupied was established in the Andong Protectorate (Liaoning). Most of the Andong Protectorate was outside the Andong Protectorate, most of them were the Bohai Kingdom.”

Wei Fufeng said: "I heard that the Khitan is the strongest in the Northeast."

Wang Shihui nodded and said, "I have also heard of the Khitan. The Khitan is adjacent to the Bohai Kingdom. It can also be said that the Khitan, the Bohai Kingdom, and the Lulong Jiedushi divided the vast northeast.

Jiaodong Peninsula can only contact the Bohai Kingdom, Silla Kingdom, so there is no feeling about the rise of the Khitan."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "I need the current situation of the Bohai Kingdom and the situation of the Liaodong Peninsula."

Wang Shihui said: "Will the General accept our resignation?"

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "I am willing to accept it, but it will take some time to seize the Ziqing Jiedu region. Please contact your reliable confidants. I allow you to be appointed as an official and make a wish. The Supreme Governor."

Wang Shihui stood up and said respectfully: "I thank General Xie for accepting it. Can I still recognize my brother's Ziqing Jiedushi?"

Wei Fufeng shook his head and said, "I am willing to give the Duke of the Wang Shifan Kingdom hereditary. Each of your brothers is hereditary and go to my rule to become an official."

Wang Shihui hesitated and said nothing.

Wei Fufeng said again: "Don't hold on to the extravagant hopes of the mayor of the vassal state. I will not tolerate the existence of the vassal states."

Wang Shihui nodded.

Wei Fufeng said again: "You may not be able to make a decision, so go back and discuss with your brothers."

Wang Shihui said respectfully: "Thank you, General, for tolerance."

"Thank you for your hard work, go for a break, and talk to you tomorrow." Wei Fufeng said gently.

Wang Shihui said goodbye and left, and Wei Fufeng thoughtfully planned.

In fact, Wang Shifan is still asking for help in Qingzhou, and Wei Fufeng will not agree to cooperate.

Wei Fufeng was conservative in his mentality towards the navy in Lingnan, Fujian, and at most he expeditioned 5,000 troops.

Five thousand troops arrived at the Jiaodong Peninsula, but they could not defend even if they captured it.

Wei Fufeng attached the most importance to the transitional rule of Liangzhe, and must ensure superior support.

Now we have the opportunity to guide the Jiaodong Peninsula, it’s a pity to give up.

However, Wei Fufeng was unwilling to go to war with Xuanwu Army and was waiting for Zhu Wen's dynasty to change.

......

The next day, the army was about to set off, and Wei Fufeng called Wang Shihui to him.

The king's teacher came, greeted him respectfully and sat down.

Wei Fufeng asked: "Do you have no influence on the Liaodong Peninsula?"

Wang Shihui replied: "Only merchant ships traveled, they had never occupied the Liaodong Peninsula. It was mainly not worth occupying. The Jiaodong Peninsula was already vast and sparsely populated."

Wei Fufeng said: "If you brothers are willing to join us, except for what we said yesterday, our army will give you a task."

"Please give me orders, General." Wang Shihui responded respectfully.

Wei Fufeng said: "You arranged for Deli subordinates to pretend to be the envoy of the Bohai Kingdom and sailing ashore in Dengzhou, claiming to congratulate the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty ascend the throne."

Wang Shihui was surprised and looked at him incomprehensible, saying, "General, the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil, and the Bohai Kingdom no longer recognizes it as a vassal of the Tang Dynasty."

Wei Fufeng said: "What's wrong with the Bohai Kingdom reverberating the Tang Dynasty?"

Wang Shihui smiled bitterly and said, "If the Tang Dynasty was in a prosperous era, it would be natural for Bohai Kingdom to submit to the surrender. In the chaotic era, Bohai Kingdom would not be able to submit to the surrender."

Wei Fufeng said: "Of course there is a reason. The Bohai Kingdom was invaded by the Khitan and was in a crisis of destruction. We need to respect the Tang Dynasty to obtain various support."

Wang Shihui was stunned and nodded, "This statement is reasonable."

Wei Fufeng said: "My intention is that the Liaodong Peninsula becomes the former land of the Tang Dynasty and reappears in the Andong Protectorate. In the future, my troops will pretend to be the name of the Andong Protectorate, seize the Jiaodong Peninsula, and then surrender to Zhu Wen."

Wang Shihui was incredible when he heard it, but when he thought about it carefully, he was not whimsical.

The Liaodong Peninsula became the former land of the Tang Dynasty, so it was far-fetched to capture the Jiaodong Peninsula.

He seized the Jiaodong Peninsula and expressed his dependence to Zhu Wen.

The Jiaodong Peninsula is remote for Zhu Wen and is a military waste that is not worthy of big fights.

Wang Shihui said: "The general is wise and just pretends to be a mission to the Bohai Kingdom and cannot hide it for too long."

Wei Fufeng said: "So, I need the real situation of the Liaodong Peninsula, the Bohai Kingdom and the Silla Kingdom, and send troops within my ability."

Wang Shihui nodded and said, "General, if Zhu Wen does not accept the mission from Bohai Kingdom."

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "If you don't accept it, I won't lose anything. I just need the disguise of Bohai Kingdom sending troops, causing Zhu Wen to misjudgment."

Wang Shihui nodded and said, "I understand. When I go back, I will ask someone to collect information immediately."

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "A good journey."

Wang Shihui nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The General's military strength is not weak, why don't he focus on unifying the world?"

Wei Fufeng replied: "I don't want to be a military civil war, I like to rely on the strong to bully the weak to expand territory. I am still young and plan to endure Yang Xingmi, Li Keyong and Zhu Wen to death."

Wang Shihui was speechless, and being young is indeed the greatest capital.

It is said that Yang Xingmi was suffering from injuries, Li Keyong led the way before the battle, Zhu Wen was in good health, but he was still in his fifties.

......

Wang Shihui arrived in Mengzhou in a hurry, and cautiously disguised himself as a slave to the prefecture. He met his brother Wang Shifan and reported his experience.

Wang Shifan thought to himself after hearing this.

Wang Shihui couldn't help asking, "Can brother exercise power in Heyang?"

Wang Shifan casually replied: "I must keep my low profile, and the real power cannot be fought for."

Wang Shihui nodded, and Wang Shifan asked again: "How do you make a decision?"

Wang Shihui replied: "I tend to join Fufeng Hou."

Wang Shifan nodded and said, "The Bohai Kingdom's troops on the Liaodong Peninsula are mainly defending against the Silla Kingdom."
