Chapter 252: Convincing the Treasure King
Seeing the Treasure King's expression and his affirmative answer, Wang Xuance was very satisfied with his Li Clan's declaration this time.
Over the years, he has been around Li Shen, Li Shen has held four consecutive conferences, three of which Wang Xuance was present, and he has conducted in-depth research on Li Shen's speeches.
The declaration of Li Shen that he discovered often brought out people's desires and made the blood of those who heard it surge.
Li Shen once told him that in fact, everyone has desires, and as long as they dig out the desires in their hearts, they will have the motivation to do things.
For the Treasure King, Wang Xuance didn't have to dig out any desires at all, and his desires were almost written on his face.
Therefore, Wang Xuance chose to use the Li Clan's declaration method to give the Treasure King a little motivation, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.
Looking at Chen Dade next to him, he knew that his first use of Li Shen's declaration was very successful.
Chen Dade woke up from the shock and hit the railway while it was hot:
"My lord, the prince is right, this is an opportunity. As long as we start from the small cities in the west and slowly erode, and finally occupy the domestic cities, we can rely on the Yalu River and govern across the river from Yuangai Suwen. Recharge your energy and recruit troops.
At this time, Yuan Gai Suwen would never have imagined that we would have an incident at this time, and he could be caught off guard, and when we joined forces with Silla, he would definitely not be able to resist it. ”
"Okay, then it's decided, when I go back, the king will contact a few henchmen and let them lead the soldiers and horses, but which small city should we occupy." The Treasure King had not yet come out of his excitement and made a decision on the spot.
"Look, my lord." Chen Dade said as he took out a small map of Goguryeo from his sleeve. It seems that Chen Dade came prepared.
He pointed to a small town road:
"Let's occupy Hengshan City first, Hengshan City is small, it is easy to take, and then take the surrounding small cities, Xincheng, Xuansu City, cover the curtain, and add corpses.
This is a plain, and the land is fertile, so we can first accumulate grain and grass here, recruit men, and subdue the nearby cities."
"But this place is very close to Liaodong City, there are 150,000 troops in Liaodong, and we can't resist it." The Treasure King looked at the map and said, he is not a straw bag, he still knows about the defense of Goguryeo.
"King, my lord said that if we start an incident, the 50,000 troops on the border of the Tang Dynasty will cooperate with us, and if the defenders of Liaodong City move, my 50,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty will immediately march to the dangerous area and force Liaodong City to withdraw and defend.
If they don't move, then we can devour the surrounding towns with impunity. ”
Wang Xuance said.
The Treasure King looked at the map and thought for a long time, then suddenly looked up and asked:
"Datang is so keen on the king's uprising, but he doesn't mention any benefits, could it be that Datang wants to take advantage of the civil strife in Goguryeo to attack my Goguryeo?"
The two of them were stunned by the Treasure King's question, this Treasure King is not brainless, although he didn't think right, but there was such a risk.
"King, it's too early to mention the benefits, to say something you may not like to hear, what we Datang want is an obedient Goguryeo, and my Datang is a state of etiquette, and I don't want to see wars between subject countries.
Originally, your Three Kingdoms bowed down to my Tang Dynasty, paid tribute every year, and enjoyed themselves. But after Yuan Gai Suwen rebelled, he was not afraid of my Tang Tianwei and united with Baekje to attack Silla.
And after His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to reprimand, he still went his own way. This is a provocation to my Datang and a great disrespect to His Majesty the Emperor of my Datang.
If you don't give him some punishment, how can I have the face of Datang, and how will the surrounding Fanbang vassal countries still fear my Datang in the future. ”
Wang Xuance came as soon as he opened his mouth to talk nonsense, and he had a good face with Li Shen.
After hearing this, the Treasure King thought about it and felt that there was this reason, the Tang Dynasty can now be said to be invincible in the world, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, and the Eastern Turks have all been destroyed.
Many small neighboring countries have voluntarily joined Datang. Yuangai Suwen didn't even give face to the Tang Emperor, and it was normal for people to get back to the field.
"Wang, in fact, I know what you are worried about, my Datang will not send troops in the future because of this matter, otherwise, my Datang Xiong soldiers are more than one million, what is the calculation of just one Yuan Gai Suwen,
Don't think that the former Sui million army attacked Goryeo three times and didn't defeat it, so you are complacent. That's because it's not me.
Last year, 6,000 elite soldiers of our Tang Dynasty defeated Xue Yantuo's 200,000 army, and captured 50,000 alive. The king must have heard about this. ”
Wang Xuance's words made the treasure king's face ugly, but he couldn't refute it, he did hear that Xue Yantuo's 200,000 army was defeated by 6,000 cavalry.
"Okay, I'll go to the west tomorrow on the pretext of patrolling, and meet in Hengshan City in seven days." Finally, the Treasure King nodded in agreement.
After the three of them talked about some details, the Treasure King took the lead in saying goodbye, leaving only Chen Dade and Wang Xuance.
"The prince is really intelligent, and what he said just now is that Chen has a feeling of blood boiling." Chen Dade took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"Chen Gong praised it, they all learned from my prince, my prince is a talented person, Wang is insignificant in front of the prince."
"Haha, the prince is too modest, this time there is the prince, I believe that the plan will be successfully completed."
Chen Dade dared to snub Wang Xuance at all, although he was the leader of the mission and a fifth-grade official of Honglu Temple, but Wang Xuance was the head of the prince's mansion, and the fourth-grade official was bigger than him.
"Let's get down to business, Chen Gong tomorrow is the day we agreed to receive grain, how is your manpower arrangement? King Ji attaches great importance to this plan, and the imperial court has also made great efforts to cooperate.
If it fails, it will be difficult for you and me to go back. Wang Xuance reminded,
After Wang Xuance arrived, he told Chen Dade about the plan of the imperial court, and Chen Dade was responsible for contacting the old ministry of the former Sui Dynasty and also responsible for the grain collection work in various states and counties in the west.
The price given to the people is three times, and if the people do not sell, they will recruit the local nobles to give five times the price, and they will receive as much as they want. When the time comes, the nobles themselves will go to the common people to buy it.
As for how they communicate with the people, that's their own business.
And Wang Xuanze's people are in charge of the eastern region, including Pyongyang, as well as the Baekje side.
Because a bumper harvest is about to come, Wang Xuance feels that there should not be too many obstacles.
"Don't worry, the prince has already released all the manpower, and there is absolutely no problem. If it was before, it might have been a little troublesome, but the prince brought so much money, it should be smooth. Chen Dade assured that he never thought that Ji Wangfu would make such a generous move, and it would be a million yuan as soon as he made a move. Money can make the devil grind, and there is nothing that cannot be done.
"That's good, remember not to accumulate too much, buy a batch and ship out a batch, even if someone robs it in the future, it will only lose a little." Wang Xuance nodded.
"Don't worry, the prince has already been instructed, and after collecting one place, he will pass through the customs and transport it out, and he will receive another place."
