King Funan looked at the guards in front of him whose chests had collapsed, blood flowed like rags, and his eyes were protruding, as if he had encountered something incredible before he died.

King Funan retched twice, looked up at Xi Junmai with a sledgehammer standing next to Feng Daiwen like a killing god, knowing that Feng Daiwen was a big official, he hurriedly endured his nausea and prostrate on the ground and shouted loudly in the not very skilled Tang dialect: "The small country and the widow of Funan Wang have seen the Tang Shangguan. ”

As Feng Daiwen's heavy footsteps sounded in the main hall, step by step, as if stepping on the heart of King Funan, just when King Funan was about to collapse, a voice like heaven came, "Get up and speak." ”

King Funan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, which at least meant that he didn't have to die for the time being. As soon as I looked up, I saw a man covered in blood standing in front of him with a long knife, so that he did not faint.

Of course, this person covered in blood is Feng Daiwen, and his body is full of other people's blood, "You are the King of Funan?" Who gave you the courage to invade the Tang Dynasty! Feng Daiwen looked at the frightened Funan King and said sharply.

"Xiao Wang was bewitched by the Zhenla people, and when he didn't know the sky, he offended the Tang Dynasty, and asked for forgiveness." King Funan's eyes rolled, and he immediately blamed the sin on the Zhenla people, and immediately confessed his mistake.

"Hmph, the widows of small countries dare to offend Tianwei, Rinan, and the people of Xianglin County have suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and you want to let you go with a word of forgiveness!" Feng Daiwen snorted coldly, and said with a deliberate swing of the long knife.

King Funan thought that he was going to kill him to vent his anger, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and cried loudly: "Shangguan spare his life, Shangguan spare his life, Xiao Wang is willing to compensate, double the compensation." ”

"Oh, willing to pay compensation? We are not willing to kill more, and it is of course better to solve it peacefully, so let's settle the score. Feng Daiwen also didn't want to conquer by force, firstly, there were not too many people to occupy it, and secondly, the reputation of murder spread, which was not conducive to attacking and occupying other regions in the future.

"Okay, okay, everything is up to the official." When King Funan heard that he would not kill himself, he nodded hurriedly.

"Hmph, what are you like to be! Of course, you have to figure it out, otherwise others will think that we are bullying you. Feng Daiwen suddenly opened his reddened eyes and stared at Funan Wangdao.

"Yes, yes, Shangguan, please count." King Funan was taken aback by Feng Daiwen, whose face was changing, and nodded again and again.

"That's right, you see that tens of thousands of people in these two counties have been killed and injured, and countless houses have been damaged, which has brought heavy damage to their families, so it's not too much to pay three million yuan. Second, in order to seek justice, my Datang dispatched tens of thousands of elite people, logistics materials, and countless grains and grasses to thousands of miles away, so this compensation of two million yuan is not too much, right? Feng Daiwen grabbed Funan Wang's shoulders and asked him to sit down and said.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive!" King Funan was stunned for a moment and listened to Feng Daiwen's calculations, nodded mechanically and muttered.

"Well, it's good if it's not expensive, you see that so many people are here this time, and the military expenses are still needed, even if it's 500,000 yuan! According to what you said, double is 11 million, rightly calculated. When Feng Daiwen heard that it was not expensive, he thought it was really too little, and raised his eyebrows and added a little more.

"Good, good, 11 million!" King Funan muttered to himself, his eyes were blank, and he suddenly reacted and exclaimed.

Feng Daiwen was almost taken aback, and said solemnly: "Yes, it is all calculated according to your intentions, King Funan, there is no mistake, and it has not counted the labor expenses, mental loss expenses, and ship wear and tear expenses of Datang......"

King Funan was stunned and looked at Feng Daiwen with a "wow" cry, hugged Feng Daiwen's thigh and said: "Shangguan, I can make a small country and a small people, I really can't take out so much money!" ”

Feng Daiwen squatted down and patted King Nan on the shoulder and said, "This is easy to do, we can convert gold, silver, jewelry, and grain, you can rest assured that the price is absolutely high." I won't let you suffer, who made us friends? ”

Seeing that the wood was already in the boat, the king of Funan was powerless to resist, gritted his teeth and stood up and said: "Please also ask the general not to kill the people, Xiao Wang will order the soldiers to lay down their weapons, and the general of the treasury and property will be counted." ”

"That's right, we are not murderous people, we are just here to seek justice, as long as the king of Funan is compensated, we will leave immediately, after all, there are still Zhenla people who need to pay the price, right?" Feng Daiwen clapped his hands with satisfaction, smiled and tidied up his clothes for King Funan and said.

With the order of the king of Funan, the city slowly calmed down, the people were ordered to stay at home and not go out, and the soldiers were also taken into custody.

Feng Daiwen asked people to count the treasury, and he accompanied King Funan to chat on the palace wall. "I don't know if the king of Funan has any dissatisfied ministers, we can help you solve it by the way, and afterwards you can put the blame on them, just say that they provoked the anger of the Tang Dynasty." Feng Daiwen tempted.

King Funan's eyes lit up, and he was obviously moved.

Feng Daiwen understood, and waved his hand to let the guards take King Funan to do it.

The palace and the private treasury of the city were all emptied. There is not much gold and silver, and there are a lot of other jewels and rare treasures, so Feng Daiwen has the idea to hit those officials.

After dark, King Funan was brought back satisfied, and when he saw Feng Daiwen, he said with a little gratitude: "Thank you, General." ”

"You're welcome, this is a mutually beneficial thing, but King Funan, this treasury property is far from enough to compensate!" Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

King Funan felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and glanced at the empty hall with a wry smile on his face: "General, there is indeed no more." ”

"Well, I don't embarrass the king, after we leave, the king can buy grain and transport it to Xianglin to deduct it, Datang lacks labor, and the captives also need it, if it is a craftsman, we are willing to exchange it at a high price. Of course, our Datang will not let the king pay in vain, how much salt is needed, exquisite porcelain, silk, juan, brocade everything. Even weapons can be exchanged. Feng Daiwen said to King Funan in a soft tone as much as possible.

King Funan greedily looked at the weapons and clothes on Feng Daiwen's body, swallowed his saliva and said, "General, this is all true?" ”

"Of course, in order to show sincerity, this gift will be given to the king first." Saying that, Feng Daiwen asked someone to bring 100 steel knives.

"Thank you, General, thank you, General!" The king of Funan has seen with his own eyes the power of the weapons in the hands of the guards, and the pillars with thick waists have been cut in two, as long as there is a good weapon and there is nothing to rob, it is a big deal not to provoke the Tang Dynasty.

For a while, the relationship between the two sides eased a lot. As for the people killed by the Tang Dynasty, they didn't put it in the heart of King Funan, and for King Funan, the life and death of the people did not have much impact in his heart.

……

Feng Daiwen and his entourage did not stay in Saigon City for a long time, and after repairing for a night, they took the three hundred craftsmen extorted from the king of Funan, and set off to Cham City after replenishing the grain and grass.
