Prince Qin calmed down his anger slightly, sat on the chair, and took a sip of the tea that had been cold.

Yuwen Chang also sat down.

The atmosphere between the two gradually eased, and Yuwen Chang said slowly, "The prince has been in the court for many years, although he is far away in the west, but the prince also understands the temper of our emperor." Think about my father's time. Now that Ling Yunfeng has died so many people, what about the 100,000 soldiers, Lord Qin, think about it carefully, how do you think the emperor will explain this matter to the people of the world? How should the emperor explain this matter to the people of the world?

If you are the emperor, how can you explain to the people of the world?"

In the last sentence, Yuwen Chang lowered his voice, and Qin Wang Ye still glared at Yu Wen Chang fiercely.

Yuwen Chang said again, "The spring ploughing in the southwest is wasted, and the mango planting season is in a depression. It should have been a spicy undress, and the rainy season rose in the willow pond. Nanling is surrounded by a strong day, and the wheat harvest on both sides of the river is busy. But now, the people are afraid that they will not be able to harvest and plant in the summer, and if they want to cultivate diligently, the heavens will not be beautiful.

Hail, strong winds, torrential rains, and droughts came one after another, and after the mango planting, the river surging from west to south, and the summer crops in the eighteen cities in the southwest were probably going to be wasted, so that the imperial court had to allocate more grain to the people who migrated to the north or east, and also to reduce the tax burden and increase the supply of food and medicine to the places where the people were received.

However, many people died in the Dongting area due to the plague of flukes before. There are several small cities where almost all of them have survived.

Coupled with the continuous rain, Meilin poured nine rivers overturned, and the sea surface of the Baidu exchange was wide. The farmland is wet, and the seedlings are sown every year. I'm afraid this year will be particularly difficult.

By the end of the year, it is not yet known how much harvest the country will have.

Lord Qin, you say, what is the most important thing about marching and fighting?"

Of course, Prince Qin understood what Yuwen Chang was referring to, when marching and fighting, grain and grass were always the most important. Without food and grass, the heavenly soldiers may not be able to reverse the decline. And without food and grass, marching and fighting is a waste of life.

Since ancient times, the art of war has not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

In the year of this kind of disaster, if you are preparing for war, the western border will defend Houshu, and the southern water resistance division. Mo said that the whole country mobilized grain and grass, and there were many inconveniences in traveling between the north and the south, and even if the grain in the national treasury could barely meet the two wars in the west and south this year, I am afraid it would not be able to last in the coming year.

Frequent wars inevitably lead to rising prices, and the people's financial resources are exhausted, so they are impoverished, and robbery and looting are repeatedly prohibited.

The war with Hou Shu and Southern Wu was not overnight, the war was long, but it was a peaceful and a soldier.

Even if you can rely on the enemy's food and make a detour through the enemy's countryside to replenish grain and grass, it is still looting and plundering. It is a calamity for the people of any country.

It is true that the court is not easy to explain to the people.

"Lingyun Peak was originally an impregnable city wall in the west, and there was the Lingyun River to block the Houshu army. If Houshu does not make a detour and attack head-on, it will be difficult to break through.

If you want to make a detour to Lingyun Mountain, feed food for thousands of miles, and the soldiers will be hungry. There are no rich fields all the way to this trip, and if you want to get food on the way, you can't feed the three armies. The detour of the war, the war period is long, the war is complicated, and carrying ordnance, food and grass, and clothing are indispensable. This is understood by Emperor Hou Shu and our emperor. ”

Prince Qin said coldly.

"yes, so everyone has been fine all these years. Moreover, there is Yan Wangfu guarding the southwest, and the emperor has always been at ease. But now, the whole army was wiped out, but there were no casualties in Houshu, did the prince of Qin plan to tell the emperor that all the 100,000 troops were killed by the Houshu soldiers, or tell the emperor that the 100,000 soldiers were drowned in the flood?"

As soon as Yuwen Chang said this, Prince Qin's hand holding the spear trembled slightly. His gaze suddenly became cloudy. The atmosphere between the two became tense again.

This kid did get to the point, telling the emperor that all the 100,000 troops died under the Houshu sword, isn't this an admission that Qin Yan has no way to lead his troops?

"What do you mean?" asked Prince Qin tentatively.

"It's really hard to say about this matter, isn't it? First of all, it depends on what Prince Qin thinks, and then it depends on what our emperor thinks. Yuwen Chang took another sip of water from the teacup, he drank very slowly, his brows were squeezed together, and he looked preoccupied.

"What does General Yuwen mean? But it doesn't hurt to say it, you don't have to spit it out. "Lord Qin's tone is an order.

Yuwen Chang quickly put down the cup, cleared his throat, glanced at the back of Qin Wangye's bruised hand, and said seriously, "Actually, I don't know. I know as much as Lord Qin, and what Pan Lang told me is also what he told you. I thought about his words a few times, and I felt that there were many doubts. Therefore, I can only stop Lord Qin and advise you not to worry.

We still need to make this matter clearer, I am afraid that Ling Yunfeng will be widely implicated in the first battle, and above the court, how to talk about this matter, whether we should inform the emperor of our questions, whether the emperor believes it or not, it is inextricably linked, and it is very important. ”

Said slowly, but it was thick and powerful word by word.

Prince Qin suddenly lost his patience.

"The army has died 100,000, and General Yuwen still plans to hide this matter from the emperor? This is really bold, can you still hide this matter and not report it, or make up a story to deceive the saint?

Don't think that if the emperor restores your General Yuwen Mansion, he will fully believe what you say. Your father didn't tell a single lie, and you didn't know what the outcome was. ”

Speaking of his father, Yuwen Chang felt a burst of anger in his heart, and over the years, this anger had never stopped burning his heart for a day.

But at this moment, he can only hold back the fire in his heart and be patient again.

"Lord, Lord, Lord's anger. How dare Yuwen Chang deceive the king, of course the matter of the 100,000 army cannot be hidden from the emperor. But didn't I tell you about this matter before? What would the emperor prefer to hear? Was the army killed in battle with Houshu, or was it drowned by the Lingyun River and burned to death by the Lingyun mountain fire? This matter has to be decided by the prince. ”

Prince Qin didn't speak, hesitated for a moment and then ordered, "Go and invite the princess and Pan Daxia." ”

Yuwen Chang didn't stop him, it was okay to invite him, Prince Qin was not easy to deal with, and he had already prepared for this.

The subordinate received the order and immediately put Pan Lang and the princess in the hall.

Pan Lang saw Yuwen Chang sitting on a chair drinking tea unhurriedly, his heart was also very calm, lying in the coffin for a long time, he thought about everything he should think, and he couldn't think about other things. When he was still asleep in the coffin, he was woken up by a beating from the soldiers of the General's Mansion.

There was resentment in his heart, but when he thought of Prince Qin's mood at the moment, he must have been sad and angry, and he didn't feel that there was anything to complain about being woken up.
