Li Cunhuan sneered: "The meaning of this king is naturally to double the offering, and cut Luoyang Mansion, Shaanzhou, Zhengzhou (now Zhengzhou City), and Ruzhou!" ”

When Li Zhen heard this, his eyelids jumped involuntarily, and he smiled at Li Cunhuan and said, "King Qin, don't you think this is too much?" ”

"How overdone?" Li Cunhuan sneered, pointed out with his hand, and said proudly: "Zhu Wen doesn't want it, this king has 100,000 male soldiers to take it." Li Zhen: Yes! Are you a nerd? Besides, this king was almost lost by Zhu Wenyin this time, Yanhai and Pinglu towns, how to go too far. ”

When Li Zhen heard this, his eyelids jumped uncontrollably again, and he was so angry in his heart! He asked himself that he knew astronomy and geography, no more than Zhang Liang and Xiao He, and at least a Chen Ping character. couldn't help but make the topic clear, and his voice was filled with a trace of irrepressible anger: "Doesn't King Qin know geography?" Xuanwu is a horse and a flat river, only Yunzhou, Xuzhou, Zhengzhou, and the Yellow River are the four barriers of Xuanwu, southeast and northwest respectively, and after Zhengzhou, it is Bianzhou! King Qin called the student, how to cut? ”

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he sneered: "Then what should you do according to what you say?" ”

Li Zhen took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in his heart, immediately thought about something, and said with a smile: "King Qin, negotiating peace is a matter of mutual assistance and mutual benefit. Your Royal Highness the King of Qin, you have just defeated Weibo, if I am not mistaken, in February this year, the King of Qin began to launch the battle to pacify Hedong. Last year, there was a lot of war. The students naturally have a rich treasury of King Qin, but they can't afford to spend money like a stream. Of course, if King Qin insists on fighting, it is not impossible! However, my Xuanwu is not easy to bully, if King Qin wants to gnaw Xuanwu, he will have to pay a lot of price, I am afraid that in the end, it will be cheaper Huainan Yang Xingmi! ”

Li Cunhuan was shocked, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and he said secretly: The person sent by Zhu Wen is really not to be underestimated, and he actually calmed down the anger provoked by me at once. And he speaks a lot more organized, he is a talent!

Seeing that Li Cunhuan's face changed slightly, although he quickly retracted. But who is Li Zhen! can be reused by Zhu Wen, naturally there is a pair of golden eyes that ordinary people do not have, otherwise he would have been cut by the violent Zhu Wen more than ten times. Li Zhenxin calmed down a lot when he was neutral, and looked at Li Cunhuan with a smile, looking like he had a chance of winning.

Li Cunhuan didn't want the other party to peep into his little plan, and his eyes couldn't help flashing a touch of anger, but he quickly reined in. Li Cunhuan frowned and said, "I'll talk about the matter of peace later!" Go down, this king is tired! ”

"Then the student quits!" Li Zhen smiled indifferently, turned around and floated away with a breezy face, quite a bit of fairy wind bones. But Li Cunhuan saw that Li Zhen's shoulders were cold and involuntarily shrank slightly to his neck, it seems that the fairy wind bones also have to pay the price, and they are just wearing a long shirt in winter.

Li Cunhuan couldn't help but have an urge to laugh when he saw Li Zhen's demeanor and not temperature. The anger in my heart did not dissipate.

Li Cunhuan beckoned to Zhu Jilong and said, "You go and call the military advisor over!" This matter needs to be discussed today! ”

"Yes!" Zhu Jilong answered.

After Zhou Yanpet came, Li Cunhuan briefly said what he had just met with Li Zhen, and then asked Zhou Yanzhong: "Military advisor, do you think this peace negotiation is better to agree or not to agree?" ”

Zhou Yanpet picked up the teacup that was put aside, took a sip of warm tea, and said slowly: "This discussion is half of the pros and cons, and Poor Dao actually doesn't know how to choose well, and Poor Dao estimates that His Royal Highness is hesitant because of this." ”

"Hmm!" In front of Zhou Yanpet, Li Cunhuan did not hide the contradiction in his heart, and responded and nodded.

Zhou Yanpet smiled bitterly: "Actually, the poor road is not like this, Lu Long has been fighting for many years, and he has exported a lot of military spending, if it is not supported by the Imperial Bank created by His Royal Highness, I am afraid it will not be able to survive now." However, the expenditure of the Imperial Bank is also limited, and the standing copper coins and silver are at least 30% of the silver bills issued, although the money has increased more than three times, but once a large number of people exchange gold, silver and copper coins in the direction of the bank, the bank will not be able to support it. Once the Imperial Bank appears once, and there is no ability to pay, then the hard work established by His Highness will be ruined! ”

Li Cunhuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Where is it so simple, this is simply a financial storm!" ”

"Financial turmoil?" Zhou Yanpet was stunned, not knowing what Li Cunhuan meant.

Li Cunhuan said simply: "It's that all the prices in the market are as chaotic as houses blown by tornadoes, and now the main depositors of the Imperial Bank are big families, either landlords or merchants." If the silver bills in their hands are useless, then they can only make up for their losses by raising the price of the goods in their hands and the rent price of the tenants. Moreover, the people will buy fewer things, the merchants will not be able to continue, and the tax revenue will also drop significantly. ”

"I'm afraid this is no less than a big drought in the whole territory of Lulong!" Hearing this, Zhou Yanpet gasped and muttered.

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he smiled bitterly and did not answer.

Zhou Yanpet continued: "But if you hold on, it is possible for Zhu Wen to be destroyed and a big enemy is removed, and there will be no such a good chance next time." I'm afraid, this is what His Highness hesitates the most. ”

"Hmm!" Li Cunhuan nodded and said, "Don't look at Zhu Wen's embarrassment now, but this time the king was able to win, but it took a lot of luck." Liu Cong's burning of Surabaya County made Yang Xingmi lose ten days of time at once, not to mention, and the number of soldiers was also reduced by 20,000 immediately. It also includes the two most elite troops in Huainan, Heiyundu and Huangtou Army, these two soldiers and horses, to say the least, are equivalent to 20,000 or 30,000 ordinary soldiers, and these soldiers and horses are no less than ten times as many ordinary soldiers on the battlefield. And these ten days gave Li Cunxiao time to lead his troops to Pinglu. It is precisely because of this that Yang Xingmi was once pushed to the edge of the cliff and almost defeated. Later, even if Pang Shigu brought troops to support, it only maintained an undefeated situation. There is also Wang Yanzhang, who was almost killed by him, but because of a blessing in disguise, he took Wei Bo with a plan. Next time, I'm afraid I won't have such good luck! Who knows what kind of plan Jing Xiang guy will come up with next time! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yanpet nodded thoughtfully, and muttered: "Does Your Highness know how a lumber cutter can only make exquisite and smooth furniture in the face of a towering tree?" ”

Li Cunhuan didn't know why Zhou Yanpet suddenly asked such a bullish question, but he knew that Zhou Yanpet must have a reason for asking like this, so he asked according to Zhou Yanpet's meaning: "I don't know, what does the military advisor think?" ”

Zhou Yanpet stroked the wood grain of the handrail and said, "The best way is naturally to cut down its roots, but the roots are too hard to cut down." Then make an idea on his branches. Slowly cut his branches, and if there are no branches, the trees will slowly wither, and finally the lumberjack will be able to cut down the trees calmly! ”

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he was a little enlightened, but he was still not sure what Zhou Yanpet meant. Hesitantly, he asked, "What does the military advisor mean?" ”

"Poor Dao thinks that peace should be negotiated! However, in any case, Luoyang Mansion must be taken, Luoyang Mansion is an important granary of Xuanwu, but in order to let Zhu Wen give up Luoyang Mansion, His Royal Highness may wish not to Zhengzhou, and promised to give Zhu Wen 1,000 quintals of salt to Xie County every year free of charge, and this year's supply can also be lowered a little. In this way, he cut off a branch of Zhu Wen. Zhou Yanpet smiled.

"I'm afraid Zhu Wen won't agree! He was not without capable people around him, and it was impossible not to see the insidiousness of this scheme. When Li Cunhuan heard this, he shook his head, thinking that it was useless.

Zhou Yanpet smiled: "What does Your Highness think Zhu Wen doesn't agree?" His Royal Highness sent people to Lulong and transferred 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses to Weibo, but he brought more flags along the way, making the appearance of 60,000 or 70,000 people. Then let Yelu Abaoji collect boats on the edge of the Yellow River, make rafts, and make a look of preparing to go south. But don't agree too quickly, drag it slowly, even if Zhu Wen agrees to His Royal Highness's request, His Royal Highness will delay it until January spring ploughing, so that the people of Xuanwu prefectures and counties dare not spring plough and miss the spring ploughing season! At that time, it would not hurt for His Highness to take even a few steps back and agree. ”

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he smiled and said, "Military advisor, this is the Sui Dynasty's strategy to attack Nan Chen?" Whether it is the same every year for spring plowing in the future, Yanhai can also send more cavalry to make a posture of going out to fight, and harvest cavalry deep into Xuanwu every autumn and burn wheat fields! ”

"Your Highness is wise! Poor Dao thinks that according to what His Highness said, at most two years, Xuanwu will not be able to continue! With His Royal Highness's plan, Xuanwu will not die! Zhou Yanpet waved the dust and said with a smile.

Li Cunhuan shook his head and said with a smile: "The military advisor is just giving it to this king!" This king doesn't believe in military divisions, and he can't think of it. Speaking of this, Li Cunhuan paused: "Hearing what the military advisor said, this king suddenly thought of a good plan!" As compensation, it can make things more effective with less! ”

"What's the plan?" Zhou Yanpet was stunned and asked suspiciously.

"I can't tell! Ineffable! Li Cunhuan smiled mysteriously.

When Zhou Yanpet heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said: "Actually, His Royal Highness said so, Poor Dao didn't ask much, it is estimated that Poor Dao will soon know His Highness's plan!" ”

"The military advisor is indeed the military advisor! All of a sudden, it revealed a bit of the king's thoughts! Li Cunhuan was overjoyed and smiled disapprerovingly.

After a while, Zhou Yanpet still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and couldn't help but ask again: "What kind of strategy did Your Highness come up with, say it and let the poor Dao staff and staff make it more perfect!" ”

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he laughed dumbly, pointed at Zhou Yanpet, and said with a smile: "This king knows that the military advisor can't help it, ha!" Ha! Ha! ”

When Zhou Yanpet heard this, his old face turned red and he laughed awkwardly.

Li Cunhuan was not embarrassed by Zhou Yanpet, and said with a smile: "So...... It's ...... like this."

When Zhou Yanpet heard this, his eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! ”
