General Chen is back?

In the palace, everyone was stunned!

General Chen...... Which General Chen?

Many people didn't react, in this Dragon Country, there are not many generals surnamed Chen, right?

Some people wondered: "Which General Chen?" ”

Outside the hall, Chen Chenxiao's voice came in: "Everyone, you actually forgot about me Chen Xiao?" It's heart-wrenching! ”

As the voice came in, Chen Xiao wore handsome armor and slowly walked into the main hall!

In the main hall, hundreds of civil and military officials looked back at the door.

Immediately afterward, everyone was stunned.

Only then did they all remember that this General Chen was the Chen Xiao they had discussed earlier.

But then, many people's doubts came up again.

Chen Xiao, who is at the border, isn't there no news?

How did this come back on its own?

Don't say that there are hundreds of civil and military officials, even the emperor was stunned.

In the past half a month, Chen Xiao has not sent back any news.

The emperor was still looking forward to Chen Xiao's news.

As a result, Chen Xiao came back by himself?

What does it mean?

At this moment, Chen Xiao swaggered into the hall and arched his hand: "Minister, see Your Majesty!" ”

"No need to be polite...... Chen Xiao, you ...... How did you get back? Not fighting at the border? ”

The emperor couldn't help it, and asked directly!

The ministers looked at Chen Xiao one after another.

Chen Xiao said flatly: "Back to Your Majesty, the war is over!" ”

When they heard this, everyone was shocked.

Immediately after that, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu spoke: "Lose...... Lost? ”

"If you lose, you're still standing here?" Chen Xiao opened his mouth unceremoniously.

The Ministry of Industry was stunned for a moment, and then the Ministry of Officials said:

"So, win!"

Chen Xiao was still expressionless.

Many people's faces turned strange.

So fast, won? That's some, unrealistic, right?

More people have already made up their brains, and there is no plot to fight in the southern Xinjiang country at all.

So someone spoke: "In my opinion, this southern frontier country should have been cowardly, and it didn't send troops to fight at all, so the war didn't start." General Chen is not considered to have won, after all, there is no war! ”

"Yes, I can only say that General Chen ran away in vain."

"I knew that the Southern Frontier Kingdom would not send troops to fight at all, so I didn't need General Chen to make a trip at all!"

Everyone was talking, but Chen Xiao still didn't speak.

It's just that the faces of the third prince and the fifth prince are really not good-looking.

They were still discussing before, using the time that Chen Xiao was fighting outside to see if they could make a move on Long Jiuling and ruin Chen Xiao's backer with the emperor.

Can......

Now, Chen Xiao is back.

The plan has not yet begun, and it is already dead in the cradle.

It's just unacceptable to them.

Both of them had calm faces, and their hearts were not good.

At this time, the emperor asked Chen Xiao: "Didn't Chen Xiao's southern frontier country start a war?" ”

Chen Xiao said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom has sent 150,000 troops to invade the south!" ”

"What?" Some ministers were surprised.

"One hundred and fifty thousand? That's more than the garrison to the south, this ...... No, is that a fight or not? "There are generals who are confused.

Chen Xiao saw that the emperor wanted to ask, so he simply said directly:

"Your Majesty, the Southern Xinjiang State sent 150,000 troops to invade the south of the Dragon Kingdom, and the minister led 100,000 soldiers and horses at the border pass to immediately encircle and suppress it, and start a battle on a plain at the border pass.

Our army surrounded the enemy army, besieged the enemy army for a week, and deprived the enemy army of water supply, so as to exhaust the enemy's energy. until the enemy army collapses. Later, he took out the water source and surrendered to the available water.

Therefore, the entire enemy army surrendered, surrendered their weapons and armor, and voluntarily became prisoners. So, this battle was fought. Win with wit, never lose a single soldier, and win a complete victory! ”

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, the court was quiet!

Many people were digesting what Chen Xiao said, only the emperor stood up excitedly and said:

"Not a single soldier, just using some water, winning a complete victory, capturing 150,000 troops of the Southern Xinjiang State? Chen Xiao, are you telling the truth? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, you can't tolerate half-dead lies!" Chen Xiao spoke.

The emperor was shocked, and then said excitedly:

"Good, good, well done, raise the prestige of our country, Chen Xiao!"

At this time, Prime Minister Zuo suddenly spoke: "General Chen is really full of talent and intelligence, but he is just puzzled, how to deal with these 150,000 enemy troops?" If it is killed, it is too inhumane and will lose the demeanor of a great country.

If it is detained, it can be ...... The ration of 150,000 people is also a lot of consumption. This...... We in the Dragon Country, there is no need to raise these people for the Southern Xinjiang Country. It's unrealistic to want them to be traitorous dragons......"

Everyone nodded, and many people also wanted to know how to solve this.

Chen Xiao said: "What the prime minister said is very true, but rest assured, the 150,000 southern Xinjiang countries in our army eat and drink, and the southern Xinjiang countries have given money."

In addition, I sold these armies to the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom at a certain price, and the food expenses of the 150,000 troops for a few days, and the money for ransom, a total of 10 million taels of silver. ”

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, the ministers gasped one after another.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department said with tears and laughter:

"This ...... General Chen, you captured 150,000 enemy troops and asked the southern Xinjiang country for 10 million taels of silver? This...... Can the southern Xinjiang country give? ”

"Here it is!" Chen Xiao said.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department was speechless for a moment, thinking that this southern Xinjiang country is not ashamed?

If you lose a fight, you can still take the money to ransom people?

This...... It's a shame to be thrown home!

The emperor felt that Chen Xiao had done a good job, and said with a smile: "Chen Xiao, there is really yours, so you easily solved the problem of prisoners, and also made a fortune for the Dragon Kingdom?" ”

"More than that!"

Chen Xiao said.

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned.

More than? What is the meaning?

"Chen Xiao, is it ...... Anything else? The Emperor asked.

"In this battle, the southern frontier country lost, and I still have to pay war reparations." Chen Xiao said.

When the emperor heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing more than paying tribute every year, right?" Well, this one is as it should be. ”

"This is the foundation, what I said is, I also asked the southern Xinjiang country for a war indemnity of 20 million taels of silver." Chen Xiao said lightly.

The Emperor's eyes widened when he heard this.

"War reparations?" The emperor was puzzled: "And this thing?" And...... Twenty million taels of silver? This...... Can the southern frontier country give? ”

"Here. Why not give? Don't bring troops to Lao Tzu to beat him, see if he gives money or the throne. Chen Xiao said.

Everyone was speechless, thinking, this Nima bandit?

"Did you really give it?" The emperor was surprised.

Chen Xiao: "Given, the silver is outside, later, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu will take someone to count it, a total of 30 million taels of silver, no more, no less!" ”

The face of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu changed, but he knew that several officials of the previous Ministry of Rites were counted by Chen Xiao overnight, and later, they all died!

Counting money again this time?

Although I think about it too much, I feel like I'm in my heart!

"Okay, good, Chen Xiao, you really have you, don't lose a single soldier, win the battle, and earn 30 million taels of silver? Haha, raise the prestige of our country! The Emperor laughed.

Chen Xiao said: "More than that! ”

"And more?"

Everyone was stunned, what else were they doing?

Chen Xiao said: "I still have a city, hurry up and send someone to take over!" ”
