Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

It has to be said that King Chu really read a lot of books during the years he spent in Qiongzhou.

Because the old things he was talking about between Baekje and Silla happened more than a hundred years ago.

"Your Highness, the King of Chu..." Perhaps it was because of his extensive reading that one of the ministers suddenly spoke up: "I admit that what you said... is all true. But between countries, there has always been an exchange of interests, so the so-called positions can change at any time..."

"You fool..." The reputation of His Royal Highness the King of Chu for not eating beef may have never reached this person's ears: "I said this just to make you feel better after the destruction of Baekje. Why are you all trying to reason with me?"

"..." After His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, the man named Neizo Pingqi fell silent.

He had heard a lot of murderous and heart-breaking words in his life.

But it was the first time he heard such devastating and heartbreaking words.

So Nezopinchi fell silent.

But his silence brought about the awakening of his colleagues.

"Your Highness the King of Chu... I am willing to surrender to you!" The person who spoke at this time was not someone else, but a great general of Baekje, Jin Yun.

"Very good," His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded upon hearing this, and then turned his gaze to the others: "What about you? Do you intend to be a loyal subject of Baekje or a loyal subject of the Tang Dynasty?"

“……”After another silence.

"We are willing to be loyal subjects of the Tang Dynasty!" As a representative of the nobles, Neizo Pingqi keenly noticed that the patience in the eyes of His Royal Highness the King of Chu was gradually disappearing, so he hurriedly bowed his head to express his loyalty to the other party.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu was also very satisfied with this: Yes, I will kill this man!

Because after this person expressed his position, almost all the remaining Baekje ministers followed his actions and expressed their loyalty to His Majesty the King of Chu.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu also accepted all the statements made by these people.

Afterwards, he asked the internal ministers Pingqi and Zhenyun to stay, and arranged for the other ministers to leave the palace to appease the people in the city.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu even said: From now on, Baekje will become a prefecture and county of the Tang Dynasty, so the people of Baekje will become the people of the Tang Dynasty from now on.

"Neizo Pyeongchi, I order you to send people to count the hometowns of these dead and wounded soldiers. I want to provide compensation to these soldiers and their families." In the main hall of the Baekje Palace, His Royal Highness the King of Chu put his hands behind his back and said to Neizo Pyeongchi who was standing beside him with his hands hanging down: "As for the compensation... For the time being, it will be paid from the national treasury. You don't have to save money for me. Be generous. Do you understand?"

"Yes..." Neizo Pingqi didn't know what to say - he also didn't understand why the money from the national treasury was used, but it was related to "saving for His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

"From now on, when you answer, you must say 'yes'." Wang Xuance was not in the palace at the moment because he had to deploy defenses at the city gate, so Wang Hanzhang took on the heavy responsibility of being the "trusted counselor."

"Wei..." Neizo Pingqi learned quite quickly.

"Okay, go ahead." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu found that this guy was really harmless when he was honest.

"Then Your Highness the King of Chu, I will leave now." Nei Zuo Pingqi felt that he was able to escape this time because of God's blessing.

And after he left.

The Baekje general Jin Yun suddenly whispered to His Royal Highness the King of Chu: "Your Highness, Neizao Pyeongchi is as cunning as a fox, you must be on guard..."

"Really?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu blinked his eyes when he heard this: "Then what is General Zhenyun's plan?"

"I am willing to keep an eye on him for you!" Zhen Yun saw that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had taken his words to heart, and hurriedly said, "As long as Your Highness is willing to trust me..."

"Of course I trust you." His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought this guy was quite interesting: "General Zhenyun, then I'll trouble you to keep a close eye on him for me. If you find anything unusual, send someone to inform me. I will reward you handsomely!"

"Your Highness!" Zhen Yun heard what His Highness the King of Chu said and immediately bowed to the ground: "I am willing to die for His Highness the King of Chu and go through fire and water!"

"So, very good!"

After a while.

After "Brother Daohuo" Zhenyun left, Wang Hanzhang thought for a moment and slowly said to his master: "Your Highness, I don't understand..."

"You don't understand why I have to go to such great lengths to win people's hearts, right?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was sizing up the decorations in the palace, smiled when he heard this: "Then Hanzhang...what do you think I want to do by doing this?"

"Your Highness, are you going to defend the capital of Baekje? Attract troops from all over the country to relieve the pressure on His Majesty?" Wang Hanzhang couldn't help but frowned when he heard this: "Your Highness, we don't have enough manpower... Besides, this is the capital of Baekje... When the time comes, they will join forces with us, and we--"

“Han Zhang, why are you so stupid?” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu sighed upon hearing this. At this moment, Zhang Zhenxuan came in with a bowl of meat porridge: “Your Highness, please have your meal. This porridge was made by me personally and has been tested for poison…”

"Zhenxuan, you are thoughtful." Seeing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled gently at Zhang Zhenxuan and said, "Why can't you be a woman..."

"Ahem..." Although he had been with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu for a long time and knew that he was not... But when Zhang Zhenxuan heard such a sigh again, he couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Your Highness, what you said... How about I go back and ask my father? During the years when he went down the mountain to travel-"

"——Alas!" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu waved his hands and said, "When it comes to being a rebellious son, you should learn less from me!"

"Ha... okay." Zhang Zhenxuan said nothing more after hearing that, and just handed the meat porridge to His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

"Hanzhang, let's continue the topic." His Royal Highness the King of Chu took the meat porridge, took a sip, and then slowly said to Wang Hanzhang: "The reason why I made it so complicated is actually to make everyone believe that the mission I received is to capture the capital of Baekje and then defend it to the death.

As for killing the Baekje king and his son…” His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly laughed when he said this: “Do you think that among the various princes of Baekje, there will be an allusion that ‘the first one to comfort Licheng will be the new Baekje king’?”

"..." When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, Wang Hanzhang and Zhang Zhenxuan were stunned.

No... can we still play like this?!

"Baekje and Goguryeo have been on guard against each other for many years. The cities along the border between the two countries are like bunkers. This king is not interested in pushing them forward bit by bit. Although black gunpowder is powerful, it cannot withstand this.

As for a siege war, I have only a few elite troops, and it would not be cost-effective to waste them.

So my idea is to create the illusion that I am determined to defend Baekje City. When those frontier officials and generals with troops come to the capital with their troops, I will go north - whoever encounters me during this period will be in trouble.

And I can also enter Goguryeo at the lowest cost.

Only then... will this war truly begin..."
