"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Li Xiaogong has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years. He dare not guarantee anything else, but I still have the confidence to capture the entire territory of Linyi State." Li Xiaogong patted his chest and said confidently.

"But you have been besieging the city for a month before, and tens of thousands of Tang soldiers were killed in battle!" Li Yuan attacked.

Too much ostentatious is not a good thing.

When an emperor cannot just praise his ministers, he must learn to suppress them. This is what the saying goes, give him a stick and give him a date.

The fief of Linyi Kingdom is Li Xiaogong's dates, so a stick...

Li Yuan didn't want to scold him verbally. He glanced at Li Xiaogong and scolded: "Linyi Kingdom is just a small country. How many people died when Duke Li Jing of Wei and Duke Li Ji of Britain destroyed the Eastern Turks a few years ago?

Killing a thousand enemies will hurt yourself by 800, is your great military achievements?"

"Your Majesty taught me a lesson..." Li Xiaogong looked embarrassed and dared not speak out.

"But..." Li Yuan pondered for a while, "The pension for the 40,000 Tang army needs to be paid for by you, the King of Chu, and this title is...

Linyi Kingdom is only a county. I want to demote you to King Linyi and split half of the land to you, but I don’t know how to filial piety or consent!”

If it were other reasons for the reduction of titles, Li Xiaogong would definitely be dissatisfied, but now the Supreme Emperor has been promoted openly and secretly, lowering his title to a level, and then enfeoffed half of the territory of Linyi, which is half the size of the county. This is the reality.

It is better to have a real place than to have a false reputation.

Moreover, compared with the original Hejian County Prince, the title of King Chu was also stressful when worn on his head. After all, only a prince could be granted the title of King Yizi. Other relatives, even if they made great contributions, were still a prince.

Whoever is in his heart will not be troubled!

So Li Xiaogong was not only not dissatisfied, but looked at the Supreme Emperor gratefully, his dear uncle, "Your Majesty, I am willing to reduce my title! Weichen is also willing to pay half of the pension for 40,000 Tang Army, but Weichen has a condition..."

He looked up carefully at the Supreme Emperor, and found that the Supreme Emperor was just looking at him with a smile. His courage also became enormous, and he said, "I dared to ask Your Majesty to enfeoff Cham City to his nephew. Linyi Kingdom is only a county, with a small land and a small population. Only Cham City can be regarded as a fertile land."

He was very smart and used his name as the nephew of the Supreme Emperor.

In fact, this kind of bargaining negotiation title is not an unforgivable restricted area, and it is normal for close royal families to make this request.

Li Yuan naturally agreed and divided it into Li Xiaogong's 30,000 troops and ordered him to wipe out all the "rebels" in Linyi State within half a month!

Well, for the Yangtian Dynasty, all the barbarians are rebels!

Only half of the 30,000 soldiers and horses divided into Li Xiaogong were the Tang army, and the rest were the Southern Barbarians.

Before Li Xiaogong took over the camp, Li Yuan secretly instructed the Southern Barbarians to do more massacres and the Tang army to be good people so that they could completely recover Linyi Kingdom.

In the alliance between the Supreme Emperor and the Southern Barbarians, the land was divided to the Southern Barbarians.

Li Yuan naturally would not do such dishonest things and regret it. However, the most powerful thing about the Han people is not force, but thousands of years of experience and wisdom.

There must be rebellions of all sizes in the newly conquered areas. These difficult things were left to the Southern Barbarians, and the Tang army would stand up high. When the Southern Barbarians and the people of Linyi had conflicts, the invading Tang army would become amiable.

However, on the fifth day after entering the city, the conflict completely intensified.

This contradiction was beyond Li Yuan's expectations.

The Tang army not only robbed the people of Champa and occupied their wives and daughters (those were all Li Yuan’s default. This was the case in ancient wars. Only those who have the kung fu can have the courage to be brave.), but after three days of stopping, almost the entire Champa was bloody, and women and children were sold by Tang soldiers as slaves.

As a basic unspoken rule, no soldier will meddle in other people's business.

But Mu Baiyi's Jinyi's Jinyiwei fought with Tang Jun.

Affected by the war, there were many orphans who were displaced, so Mu Baiyi believed that these orphans were innocent and could not be sold as slaves, but the soldiers did not take this trick and still did their own way.

Li Yuan had a headache. There was no peace in war. It was nothing more than a person who claimed to be civilized to beat another group of "uncivilized" people for various reasons.

War is sinful, but it helps the country and is divine.

It's nothing more than talking about the problem from that perspective.

This time Li Yuan decided to stand on the side of the Tang army soldiers.

"Mu Baiyi, don't be like a child. There are so many orphans, no matter how abundant the national treasury is, they can't afford it. Moreover, the money for raising children is still allocated from my palace. Do you really want me to starve to death?" Li Yuan rolled his eyes and looked at Mu Baiyi who was holding his knees on the bed and silently spoke.

Because of Li Yuan's partial behavior, Mu Baiyi went on strike directly. She was unable to fight against Li Yuan and could only take such Cold War measures.

Although she knew it might have been very effective!

But we fight for the faint sense of justice in our hearts.

In short, it is to eat the food of the Imperial Army and then feel that it is not easy to resist Japan.

"White-clothed, there are a total of 300,000 people in this city, and there are more than 5,000 orphans. How can I afford to support them?

And is it that they are raised to go against me?

The homeland has been destroyed. If you are confused, you can still spend the rest of your life. But if you study and enlighten yourself, the Tang army and the people of the Tang Dynasty who will die in the future will be more than just such people!" Li Yuan said coldly.

He remembered the Qing Dynasty students in the late Qing Dynasty.

Almost a group of international students were sent to rebel from the Qing Dynasty when they came back!

hehe!

Who made you the Qing Dynasty? Almost all the international students were Han people. The group of people who were slaves had not yet opened up the wisdom of the people before, they thought that loyalty to the emperor was the first priority. However, after opening up the wisdom of the people, they would find that their nation has been slaves and oppressed. As a nation of hundreds of millions of people, how could it be willing to let millions of nations ride on their necks to show off their power?

The facts are so cruel. If the Qing Dynasty wanted to survive, it should not start any Westernization movement and directly colluded with foreigners to slaves of the Han people. However, he took the wrong path and allowed the people to open their eyes to see the world.

Oh! So our braids are so ugly?

"But they are still children. Seeing them living under the ruins, the beautiful children are sold to the Jiaofangsi, and the ugly ones become slaves, how can you bear it?" Mu Baiyi was crying and pretended to cry.

Li Yuan shook his head with emotion, "No, they are children, they are innocent, but they are born in Linyi Kingdom are guilty. It is not them who are guilty, but the country!

This is a war, and mercy will hurt yourself, and in my eyes, the life of a Tang man can be worth a hundred Linyi people!
