Wang Can said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to return Gao Ping."
Yang Guangdao: "What does the Imperial Master mean by this?"
Wang Can's mind was spinning, and he suddenly came up with a plan, and said: "Your Majesty, you should know that my lineage of Taoism mainly cultivates the way of the mortal world, and it also needs the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the court."
At this moment, Wang Can was ready to cheat.
It may not be appropriate to persuade Yang Guang directly.
However, it is the easiest and most convincing for Yang Guang to use Zi's fictitious deeds of gods to guide Yang Guang.
This is Wang Can's plan.
Therefore, Wang Can did not persuade, but just guided in another way.
Yang Guang nodded and said: "The Imperial Preceptor has said before that the Imperial Preceptor's training is indeed practiced in the rolling world, and also requires the help of the court's luck. But what does this matter have to do with the treatment of Goguryeo prisoners?
?”
Wang Can smiled slightly and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the prosperity of the imperial court and the prosperity of the country are not only reflected in the peace and prosperity of the country and the people, not only in the people's clothing and food, but also in the expansion of territory."
Yang Guang's brows rose when he heard this.
Quite a surprise.
Yang Guang said: "National Master, what do you want to do with it?"
In fact, Yang Guang now regards himself as Wang Can's disciple. Especially the exercises he practices are Wang Can's exercises. Since the good luck of the court applies to Wang Can, then he, Wang Can's disciple
, is naturally applicable.
So Yang Guang is willing to give one thousand to ten thousand.
Wang Can said: "The real expansion of territory is not to overwhelm the opponent, but to destroy the opponent's country and turn the opponent into a part of the Sui Dynasty, a county or a state of the Sui Dynasty. This is
Really expand the territory. Only in this way can the fate of the imperial court truly boil up, and the cultivation of skills can become more and more smooth."
When Yang Guang heard this, his eyes shone brightly and he said: "I finally understand what the Imperial Master said. If this prisoner of Goguryeo is released, if the other party still resists. Or even if Gao Yuan surrenders, then Goguryeo will still be the same."
There is almost no improvement in our national destiny in the Sui Dynasty."
Wang Can said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Yang Guang said again: "In that case, then kill all these prisoners. After all, our Sui army will continue to advance into Goguryeo, go straight to the capital of Goguryeo, and sweep away the entire Goguryeo."
Wang Can still shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is actually a better way."
Yang Guangdao: "What can we do?"
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "If all of these prisoners are killed, it will be helpful to sweep away Goguryeo, but in fact, for those who practice Taoism, the killing is too heavy, so they will have to deal with it. A certain amount of killing,
That’s normal. After all, there can be no disputes between people, so killing within a certain range is a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.”
"But it's different when there are more prisoners."
"This is not one or two people, nor one or two hundred people, but tens of thousands of people."
"If tens of thousands of people are killed, very few people can resist the consequences of such killings. It may even affect your practice, which is not cost-effective."
Wang Can made up another lie.
In fact, there is no cause and effect in killing people. It's just that Wang Can didn't want the Sui Dynasty to return empty-handed. He had to make money through this, so as not to end up in a war and cause huge losses.
If a war can continue to be fought, it must be supported by war, and it must be able to make profits through war, or even make money, instead of consuming countless money. Only in this way can we continue to move forward.
This is the real war.
You must be able to feed war with war.
Wang Can continued: "So my suggestion is to ask your Majesty to issue a notice that all Goguryeo prisoners captured by the imperial court will have slave marks on their faces, and then all the captives will be sold. Domestic merchants, as well as domestic
Any wealthy gentry who are willing to buy can come to Liucheng to subscribe."
"ah!"
When Yang Guang heard this, he also exclaimed in surprise.
For Yang Guang, who has always had a good reputation, selling prisoners like this is tantamount to a slap in the face, saying that he lacks money in front of everyone.
So Yang Guang frowned and said: "National Master, can't you not do this?"
Wang Can said: "Reporting to the Emperor, it's okay if you don't do this. I'm just making suggestions. Whether to implement it or not, the decision is in the hands of the Emperor. This matter has nothing to do with me."
Yang Guang's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.
It has nothing to do with Wang Can, but it has something to do with him, because he has little skill now and has just started practicing. Once it affects the expansion of the national destiny, Yang Guang believes that his own practice will also be affected.
In the midst of longevity and face, Yang Guang finally gave up his face.
Yang Guangdao: "I agree with the advice of the Imperial Master. Next, I will immediately send people to post notices and announce it to the world, so that everyone in the world will know about it. In this way, the slave trade can continue. On the one hand,
, the imperial court could make money through this to subsidize the soldiers in the army; on the other hand, it also weakened the Goguryeo army."
Wang Can said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Yang Guangdao: "This matter will be handed over to the Imperial Master. During this period, I feel quite diligent in my cultivation. So in the future, I have to continue my efforts and strive for further progress."
Wang Can said: "I obey the order!"
Yang Guang waved his hand, and Wang Can turned around and left.
After Wang Can left, he quickly drafted an edict, sent it to Yang Guang for sealing, and issued an edict calling on merchants from all over the world to gather in Liucheng County to facilitate the trade of slaves.
In addition, Wang Can once again arranged for someone to send a message to the front line, asking the front line generals to send the captured Gao Ping and all the rest of the Goguryeo army to Liucheng to facilitate the slave trade.
All these arrangements have been made, and Wang Can is still in Liucheng for the time being.
Because now, there is no need for him to go to the front line.
After all, the war on the front line is arranged by many generals on the front line. And what we need to do now is to destroy Goguryeo's Guo Zuo, so it is much simpler to deal with this matter.
It is also easier for the generals in the army.
In fact, in history, Yang Guang's crusade against Goguryeo was not because he was unable to destroy Goguryeo, but because Yang Guang wanted to die on his own. It was obvious that the frontline had defeated the Goguryeo army, but Yang Guang issued an order. Any action on the frontline needed to be obtained by Yang Guang.
Extensive instructions.
Therefore, the frontline generals did not dare to act rashly.
Yang Guang also issued an order that the frontline generals should not massacre the Goguryeo army. Once the Goguryeo army surrendered, they had to accept the surrender and serve them well, so as to demonstrate the national prestige and completely convince Goguryeo.
Just like this, the war, which was originally a waste of people and money, finally collapsed.
On the contrary, it was Goguryeo King Gowon and Minister Eulji Mundeok who joined forces and ultimately caused the Sui Dynasty's army to suffer numerous casualties. Even the Mai Tiezhang died on the frontline battlefield.
As a result, countless Sui national powers were consumed.
As a result, the Great Sui Dynasty finally collapsed.
If Yang Guang had not been defeated in the expedition against Goguryeo, or even won, then even if there were some complaints in the country, there would not be wars in the country.
Of course, now that Wang Can is here, everything is different.
Wang Can wants to turn the situation around.
The first is to defeat Goguryeo, completely destroy Goguryeo's kingdom, and massacre all the people of the Goguryeo king's lineage. Secondly, Wang Can wants to make money through the war, and then heal the trauma caused by this war so that the people can at least
Live.
As for more, adjust and recover slowly.
…
Army front line.
Bone City!
Today's Sui army is already stationed here.
The army of the Sui Dynasty was in charge, and all the prisoners were detained in the camp.
Inside the Chinese military tent.
Mai Tiezhang is handling government affairs. He is now in the former army and is also the commander-in-chief of the army. At this moment, Mai Tiezhang and the staff around him are discussing the disposal of the prisoners.
Mai Tiezhang looked at his staff and said: "Military advisor, you said that this prisoner has been detained for such a long time, and there is no accurate information from the emperor. Especially there is no news about whether we will march. This matter is really difficult to handle.
!”
The staff member smiled and said: "General, don't worry about this matter. You only need to obey the orders and hit them where they are directed. How to deal with the prisoners and how to send out troops is a matter for the civil servants of the imperial court. They will make plans.
What's more, the emperor has to take care of the frontline affairs, so now, it's best not to interfere with this matter."
Mai Tiezhang nodded and said, "What the military advisor said is true. It's best not to mess with it."
At this moment, the curtain of the camp tent was lifted, and a soldier entered and handed a letter to Mai Tiezhang. When Mai Tiezhang took it, he looked at it carefully, with a look of surprise on his face, and said: "
Military advisor, this boy Wang Can has become so prosperous. Somehow, the emperor actually appointed him as the national advisor, ranking him above all officials. In fact, the emperor even handed over the handling of government affairs to Wang Can."
The staff were surprised when they heard this.
He is aware of Wang Can's situation. After all, he has been with Mai Tiezhang.
Unexpectedly, Wang Can is now the national master.
The staff member said seriously: "General, as you said, no one knows the specific reason for this. However, this is a great thing for the general. Because the relationship between the general and Wang Can is extremely
Those who are close to him, especially the general, are very kind to Wang Can."
Mai Tiezhang nodded and said: "That's true, but people will change. I don't know what kind of mentality Wang Can has now. What if he looks down on us?"
The staff member said: "No matter what happens, there is always a sense of friendship."
Mai Tiezhang said in a deep voice: "What I am most concerned about is that since Wang Can is ranked above the hundred officials and he is now in charge of government affairs, I am afraid that Wang Can will also take over the attack on Goguryeo this time. But not
I know how Wang Can will arrange it."
The staff member said: "As a humble position, you don't have to interfere with anything. You just need to wait and see what happens and wait for orders from above. You can just execute them directly."
Mai Tiezhang nodded in agreement, he also had the same view.
