Chapter 678: Post-war calculations

 Battle of Silla.

A total of three countries and hundreds of thousands of people were involved.

In this war, Silla, as the axis power of the war, undoubtedly suffered the greatest losses.

The people were displaced, the crops and fields were uncultivated, and nearly 100,000 men were killed or injured.

This is enough to prevent Silla from launching a large-scale war in the next ten years.

The Japanese army also suffered considerable losses. Since the first batch of soldiers arrived in Silla, a total of nearly 100,000 soldiers came to the Silla battlefield.

But in the end, very few people escaped from Silla.

Moreover, after this battle, all the Japanese troops in our navy were basically wiped out by the Tang Dynasty.

At the very least, it will take at least two or three years to rebuild the navy.

This also means that Silla and Baekje will gain rare peace in the future.



The war was won.

Naturally, the whole country of Silla celebrated.

According to the rules, no matter what Li Chengqian said, he had to go to Jincheng to see King Zhenping before leaving.

And Li Chengqian did not break the rules at this time.

He came to Jincheng with Silla's team.

Jincheng is the capital of Silla and can be said to be the most prosperous city in Silla.

But in the eyes of Tang people like Li Chengqian, this place is not even as prosperous as a small county in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Tingxue seemed even more uninterested.

She said: "I won't accompany you into the city for a stroll. I will stay at the military camp outside the city and wait for you."

Not waiting for Li Chengqian to speak.

Gao Zhixing on the side said: "If you don't go, then I won't go either. I will stay with you in the military camp."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Chengqian and said, "When you are done, remember to bring us some food and drink."

"You are too good at being a monster."

"This is the royal city of Silla, and you don't even give King Jinpyeong face?"

"And even if you don't give him face, you should still give me face, right?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "Let me tell you, I still have something to do, and you two must go with me."

"What's going on?"

"Do we have to go with you?"

Li Tingxue said with an impatient expression.

"yes."

"Haven't you done everything you need to do?"

Gao Zhixing looked at Li Chengqian and asked with confusion on his face: "Is it possible that you have some bad ideas that you haven't used yet?"

"What is a bad idea?"

"Let me ask you, what is a bad idea?"

"Why does this sound so uncomfortable?"

Li Chengqian was really unhappy.

Wasn't he seeking benefit for himself that time?

Why do you say that your idea is a bad idea?

Seeing the serious look on his face, Gao Zhixing quickly waved his hand and said: "Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing. Tell me, do you need our help with anything?"

"My affairs are really not difficult."

"It's about some issues about the division of interests."

"After we defeated the Japanese army, we seized a lot of baggage from the Japanese army, including many valuable items such as gold, silverware, and soft goods."

Li Chengqian looked at the two of them and said, "What do you think, should I take these items away, or should I give them to King Zhenping and let him handle them on his own?"

"Nonsense, of course I took it away."

"Do you want all our soldiers to go back empty-handed?"

Li Tingxue glared at Li Chengqian and said, "I don't care about the people under your command. Anyway, my Zuo Yiwei must get what he deserves."

"Oh my sister."

"How do I say hello to you?"

"Why do you just look at such a small amount of money in front of your eyes?"

Li Chengqian said straightly: "What I mean is to give these things to King Zhenping and let him divide the interests."

"If he is sensible by then, he will naturally distribute most of them to us."

"The rest will be rewarded based on merit and distributed among Baekje and their own soldiers."

Li Chengqian glanced at the two of them, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you think Baekje and Silla will fight because of this uneven money?"

Hearing this, Li Tingxue and Gao Zhixing took a deep breath.

Oh, my mother.

This guy actually pays this attention?

They thought that Li Chengqian had given up on provoking a war between Baekje and Silla.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Li Tingxue said bluntly: "I don't know if we can fight, but there will definitely be hatred."

"That's right."

"If enmity arises, then a fight will not be far away."

Gao Zhixing looked at Li Chengqian and said, "If we use some tricks inside, we will definitely get them to do it."

"I will tell King Zhenping about this when I see him later."

"Let him divide the money himself when the time comes."

"As for whether Baekje and Silla will eventually fight over the money..."

Li Chengqian smiled mischievously and said, "That has nothing to do with our Datang."

Hearing this, Li Tingxue and Gao Zhixing looked at each other.

Then they all said in unison: "You are still the bad one..."



The banquet was specially held by King Jinping to reward the three armies.

Almost all the generals in the army were present, headed by the Jin family and his son, and took their seats one after another.

Sitting opposite them were foreign generals such as Li Chengqian and Su Li.

As one of the commanders of the three armies and the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian naturally takes the top spot.
The main position is followed by Li Tingxue, Gao Zhixing and others.

And King Zhenping also acted like a landlord.

There were singing and dancing performances and various kinds of food.

Of course, Li Chengqian and others who are used to eating Tang Dynasty food are naturally not interested in Silla's delicacies.

But the situation at the moment is that no matter what, they have to accompany him.

After all, this moment is the time to show off the spirit of the Tang Dynasty, and no one can afford to lose points or lose face.

And wait until the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Li Chengqian handed over his hands and said to King Zhenping Jin Baijing: "It's been a long time since I left home. I have decided to return to the court tomorrow."

"Before that, there are a few things that I need to explain to Mr. Zhu Guo."

King Zhenping was the Zhuguo who was personally granted the title of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty by Li Yuan, so there was no problem for Li Chengqian to call him Lord Zhuguo.

And logically speaking, Li Chengqian and King Zhenping are both vassal kings.

He can't just call him Prince Zhenping, right?

Wouldn’t that really mess up the relationship?

Therefore, it is most reasonable for Li Chengqian to call him Master Zhuguo.

And King Zhenping can also accept this title.

After all, he had already announced that Silla was a tributary and ally of the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, I heard what Li Chengqian said.

Jin Baijing also put down his wine glass and asked directly: "Your Highness, King Qin, if you have anything to say, just tell me. There is no need to meet with me."

"Our army seized a lot of supplies during this campaign against Japanese troops."

"Among these supplies, there are grain and grass, weapons, gold, silver and jewelry."

"As an auxiliary force in this war, if we deal with these things, we will inevitably be gossiped about."

"So, I just thought about giving these to Silla and letting Silla handle it on her own."

Li Chengqian said: "As for whether Lord Zhu will distribute it to the meritorious soldiers or return it to the orphans of the civilians who were killed or injured in the war, we have no control..."
