The Tang courtiers behind Li Zhi, together with Jin Famin, Fu Yufeng and others in front of them, pricked up their ears under the sun and listened for a long time.

However, whether it is the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, Jin Famin, or the husband Yufeng, they all hope that His Majesty will not agree with the prince's suggestion, and it is best to reprimand them and crown them as officials of the Tang Dynasty, and it is best to manage Silla and Baekje.

If it is according to the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince, in this way, not to mention that the smell of copper is too strong, at least the majesty and nobility of Datang as the king of all countries will be criticized.

But in the end, Li Zhi still made the anticipating and fearful ministers despair, and His Majesty actually agreed to the proposal of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to let them ransom them with silver.

And looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seriously breaking his fingers, the fees one by one are like a thunderbolt from the sky, not only making Jin Chunqiu and Fu Yufeng in a trance, but also the Tang courtiers behind him, who are also sweating and ashamed, how are these accounts calculated?

Room and board? What is this? Even Ge Xiyuan opened his mouth wide and was stunned, and the official behind him whispered to him several times, but he didn't notice that people were talking to him.

Shipping! Do you think this is the cost of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince transporting here from the Central Plains to fill the grain? Wrong! This is the fee that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks for those troops who are specifically responsible for transportation!

Medical expenses! Bereavement payment! Carriage and horse breakage fee! Armor breakage fee! Weapon damage fee! Everyone hears these names that they have never heard before, and their livers tremble!

Especially Fu Yufeng and Jin Famin, with the anxious speech of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Shangguo, the beads of sweat on their heads crackled and fell to the ground, and their hearts were dripping blood at this time.

Although I have never heard of these things that the Tang prince said, but if you think about it carefully, these are the corresponding expenses, and as the king of Silla and Baekje, he naturally knows that the war will always be supported by silver.

And they poured the strength of the whole country and made up their minds to attack Liujing City, which was occupied by the Tang Dynasty, which is actually equivalent to pressing the national fortunes on this war, hoping to seek more benefits, otherwise the national fortunes are weakened, dormant and slaughtered, which is the current situation.

Jin Famin's pale face trembled, his lips were bruised, he raised his head with a wrinkled fat face, and asked with a crying voice: "The minister is ignorant, please tell the minister what are the expenses of mental damage and reputation damage?" ”

Fu Yufeng nodded quickly in agreement on the side, he also wanted to know, why is this mental loss fee, reputation loss fee or something, so expensive!

"Don't understand?"

"The minister is ignorant, please ask Your Highness to solve your doubts."

"Oh, it's you two who scared me, if you hadn't suddenly attacked Liu Jing, I wouldn't have been scared, so you have to pay money, as for the loss of reputation...... It's because of your attack on Liujing that the majesty of my Datang has been lost, and because of your attack, it will also make others feel that they can try to fight with Datang, and then we will have to send troops or something? So it makes sense that these fees are a little more expensive. Li Hong walked cordially to the two of them, like Jin Famin and her husband Yu Feng explained.

"The cost of lodging and food is ...... Your Highness, isn't there already one on this? Fu Yufeng pondered for a while and asked, I have already talked about the cost of room and board just now, why did I have an extra room and room fee and food fee.

"Don't you soldiers whom I have captured need to eat and sleep? After being captured by me, I can't let them be exposed to the sun, right? You can't let them starve to death, can you? I can't pay for you, can I? Naturally, it was up to you to come out. As for the room and board expenses just mentioned, it is my Datang, although our three kingdoms are hereditary friendly, but the so-called brothers settle accounts, and this account is best not to be mixed up, right? Hehe. By the way, they have to be treated if they are injured, plus a friendly medical fee! Hehe, hehe. ”

Fu Yufeng and Jin Famin's mood at this time can no longer be described as despair, 'Who scared whom?' If you want to say that you are scared, you can know by looking at your expression, and it is you, the prince of the kingdom, who scared us, right? Why do you still make us lose money! ’

They want to die now, but they don't want to die. If they could, they would love to go back in time and stop fighting this battle themselves.

But now everything is irretrievable, if you don't want to lose money, you can do it, the throne will become someone else's in the country, and when the time comes, the money they are willing to give Datang will definitely not be less than these various expenses!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, this is to force them to death, and they have to be forced to become poor, so that they will no longer have rich armed forces and guard the frontier for at least ten years.

Looking at the faces of Jin Famin and Fu Yufeng who couldn't survive or die, Gao Zang, who followed Li Zhi together, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with mental balance and happiness, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "It's balanced, and it doesn't seem that there is a lot of money I have now." ”

But Gozang didn't know that since entering their so-called territory of Goguryeo, the army of the Tang Dynasty had never transported grain and grass again, but used all of their Goguryeo grain and grass.

Although this expense does not seem to be large in my country, if it is transported from Datang, it is a huge expense, and it is not an exaggeration to say that all the losses in a war will account for the cost of grain and grass supply.

And some courtiers naturally didn't approve of Li Hong's approach, but they didn't dare to talk about things in the army, so they had to hold these words in their hearts and secretly asked His Majesty.

Li Zhi then got a straightforward answer from Li Hong, Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: 'Take local materials, oh wrong, Cao Cao once made a note on Sun Tzu's Art of War: 'Therefore, the wise general will eat the enemy, eat the enemy for one hour, and be my twenty bells; Avoid one stone, when I have twenty stones. ’

So, when Li Zhi narrated what Li Hong said to the ministers, the ministers closed their mouths one by one, although they still didn't agree with it in their hearts, but this was what the sages said, and they had to accept the Tang Dynasty soldiers to rely on the grain and grass supply of Goguryeo to maintain.

Jin Famin and Fu Yufeng took the quickly written fee with tears in their eyes, and then looked up at His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty with pity, how much they hoped that at this time, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could open the golden mouth, exempt them from the fee, and then crown themselves as ministers, so that he could cry to His Majesty the Emperor about the poverty of Baekje and Silla, instead of holding such a fee for human life.

"Temple...... , can you ...... down from the total amount of these expenses? Kim Famin looked at the expenses that made him dizzy, in this way, even if he was still the king of Silla, he had become a poor king, how could he enjoy beauty and wine?

"Yes, you don't have to pay, I can't make a little more effort to hit your royal city and set up someone else as the king, I think they will give more than you when the time comes." Li Hong stood beside Li Zhi with a smile, and said lightly with his hands behind his back.

Although it is as easy as saying that it is said to be the king of another person, it is much more difficult to implement it, and it is definitely not as easy as forcing them to become a puppet regime.

And Jin Famin and her husband Yu Feng are precisely because they are afraid that they will set up someone else, so they have to accept their own exploitation.

"Yes, follow the orders of His Highness, and the minister will go back to raise money." A hint of deceit flashed in Fu Yufeng's eyes, and he kowtowed respectfully and said.

When he raised his head, he saw Li Hong looking at him with a smile, his eyes were full of unknown taste, and he couldn't help but be shocked subconsciously, could it be that he had figured out his own contingency strategy?

Sure enough, the next words of the Tang prince completely sealed his retreat: "Fu Yufeng, what do you want?" Asking you to go back and raise money? Are you stupid for me? When you go back, who will I go to when you pay the bill? Send a trustworthy courtier who has power in his hands to go back, and within seven days, if the amount I want is not enough, then they will not have to come back, and I will bury the bodies of you both. ”

At the end, Li Hong's tone quickly turned cold, and they themselves were on a battlefield full of pungent and bloody smell, which suddenly made Fu Yufeng and Jin Famin shiver, and the last trace of luck was completely shattered.

The two of them suddenly became paralyzed as if they had lost their bones, not only did they have to pay money and ask for their crimes, but they also had to be captured and imprisoned, even if it was a small country in the land of projectiles, but as a king, they should have dignity, but at this moment they were completely crushed by Li Hong without any mercy.

It's like warning them that in the eyes of Datang, whether you are the king of Silla or a minister of Baekje, there is no difference in the eyes of Datang, and Datang will not look down on you because you are the king!

"Withered vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, ancient roads and west wind thin horses. The sun is setting, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world. Li Hong and Li Zhi walked side by side, on the empty battlefield, the people of Goguryeo were busy cleaning the corpses on the battlefield, and for some people who had not yet died, the way of the Goguryeo soldiers was also very simple, a knife to end the pain.

Looking at the scene, Li Hong suddenly remembered this poem for some reason, so he blurted out the words.

Li Zhi sighed helplessly, looking at the corpses all over the mountains and the desolate and desolate banners, revealing a stream of loneliness and tragedy under the sunset, and muttered: "The sun is setting, and the broken intestines are at the end of the world." Words are good words, but they don't always feel as flavorful as poetry. War is cruel, and how can there be more than one person who breaks his intestines? One day, I hope that the world will be peaceful, prosperous and peaceful, and that there will never be war. ”

"Where there are people, there will be war, and peace will always be an ideal, a break in war. So there can never be an era of eternal peace, you are the son of the Tang Dynasty, what you can do is to force the war away from the borders of the Tang Dynasty, and create a stable and peaceful prosperous era for the people of the Tang Dynasty, the war ...... Let it happen forever beyond borders. ”

"Li Hong, I found you to be very warlike, and I ...... with your imperial grandfather."

"Father, you are wrong, your sons are not warlike. However, war is the only means to achieve peace, and only with the backing of strong military forces can we talk about peace and be qualified to allow peaceful coexistence among our neighbors. If there is no strong army to escort our Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, they will ignite the flames of war within our borders, and they will not obey our orders. Therefore, Erchen believes that at all times, an army with strong combat effectiveness will always be the only means to ensure peace! ”

"I'm afraid you'll be a tyrant in the future, but listen to you...... I was relieved. ”

"What do you mean this is?"
