Li Yuanqing not only needs to complete this task, but also needs to complete it beautifully, and also need Gu Shao's assistance.

Gu Shao glanced at Li Yuanqing and rode forward on horseback. He didn't listen to Li Yuanqing's nonsense, and also accused him in a reserved and annoyed manner, "It's mysterious."

Li Yuanqing followed up with the horse, but he didn't care. "Actually, you civil officials are now in a vicious circle and cannot get out of the circle of frames, so the treaties you signed with Xiyun Kingdom and even with neighboring countries of the Great Zhou are not effective.

.”

Although Gu Shao didn't want to hear it, he also thought that Li Yuanqing often defeated many with fewer people, and was invincible in the battle and had extraordinary strategies. He once went deep into Xiyun Kingdom to pursue the victory, and led his army to the hinterland of the enemy. These are all

What our predecessors did not do.

Li Yuanqing's insights may be really effective.

"If you want to say it, don't be too slow." Gu Shao suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and pretended to be careless, but in fact he cared about it.

Li Yuanqing replied: "Only two words, the price!"

"The price?" Gu Shao frowned and thought about this matter.

Li Yuanqing smiled and decided to give an example to make Li Yuanqing understand more, "For example, because of my ability and the friendship between the Gu family and my wife, I tolerate me quite tolerate me. Even if I propose to live in your house, you will maintain your relationship with me.

In order to get something more valuable from me, you obviously hate me, but you still promise me. If you reject me or even offend me, you may have a result that you don’t want, and that’s the price.”

"The reason why the surrounding vassal states in Xiyun Kingdom and the Great Zhou dared to tear up the contract often was that it was because the cost of tearing up the contract was too small, so that they would gain more and more time again? If anyone was in the West, it was because of the low price.

The status of Yun Kingdom will do this. Tear up the contract, attack the Great Zhou, burn, kill and loot. If you win, you will make a big profit; if you lose, you will just send a few ministers to kowtow and apologize, and submit a letter of surrender.

At that time, in order to appease the Xiyun Kingdom, the Great Zhou Dynasty also gave rewards. Of course, everyone is willing to do a business that is stable and profitable."

"If this price makes Xiyun Kingdom feel that launching a war will consume Xiyun Kingdom's national strength for ten years or even twenty years. Lord Gu, if you are the emperor of Xiyun Kingdom, you will easily tear the contract,

Will the war start?"

Gu Shao was stunned. After considering it, he felt that it made sense and felt that he had been persuaded by Li Yuanqing.

Gu Shao turned his head to look at Li Yuanqing. At this time, the smiling expression on Li Yuanqing's face was not so annoying. He bowed and asked, "But since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even in the previous dynasty did this.

1. We must use benevolence, righteousness and morality to influence the surrounding barbarian countries. If we also resort to force, we will lose the majesty and dignity of the Celestial Kingdom."

Li Yuanqing smiled and felt Gu Shao's change.

This is a pure minister who has the world and is compassionate to others.

I have read the books of sages since I was a child, and I feel that the principles in the books are correct.

Now Li Yuanqing's words have given Gu Shao a lot of inspiration.

Li Yuanqing pointed to the knife on his waist with a serious expression, "Mr. Gu, the majesty of the Great Zhou and the dignity of the people of the Great Zhou were never exchanged for the benevolence and morality of his mouth, but the sword in his hand and the courage to kill the enemy.

The spirit of not fearing death is exchanged. When the troops are at the city, can you memorize the Four Books and Five Classics in a backward way? Can you let the enemy retreat?”

"It's obvious that we can't! When we defeat the enemy country and talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality to them, we have to abide by this norm? But we don't take it seriously, but we take it seriously. Benevolence, righteousness and morality are no longer exporting the Great Zhou culture.

The sharp sword is a rope that binds the Great Zhou to move forward."

Gu Shao continued to ride a horse, but the speed was very slow, and his thoughts had already flew far away with Li Yuanqing's statement.

When I was a child, I heard my grandfather talk about the surrounding countries that often violated the borders. The Great Zhou often fought wars, which consumed a lot of money and materials, resulting in the emptiness of the national treasury and unstable people.

Fierce war will lead to danger, and it is deeply buried in the hearts of the emperor and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They dare not use force and passive defense. As long as the surrounding countries surrender, they will not continue to pursue the matter.

Gu Shao asked again: "Then when will be useful when will be benevolence, righteousness and morality be used in exchanges between the two countries?"

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Capture the other party's territory, then occupy it, promote the cultural education of the Great Zhou, and teach for a long time. Even if he was originally from Xiyun Kingdom, his mind has become the head of the Great Zhou people. This is benevolence and righteousness.

The moral system plays a role, not during war.”

When Gu Shao heard this, his eyes lit up and he understood. If he tames his people, he would become the people of the Great Zhou. Since he was the people of the Great Zhou, he would not betray him easily.

Although Li Yuanqing is a reckless man, his perspective on the problem is very novel.

Gu Shao felt that it would be a good idea to invite Li Yuanqing to live at home!

Thinking of this, Gu Shao understood even more about the example Li Yuanqing used the example he gave. Even though he was so annoyed with Li Yuanqing just now, even because Li Yuanqing and Liu Paner reunite their relationship, he wished that Li Yuanqing would die, and he might be able to take advantage of the situation.

.

But now he put aside his previous unrealistic ideas and wanted to cooperate with Li Yuanqing. In this negotiation, he broke out of the original framework, so as to seek benefits for the Great Zhou Dynasty, and paved another layer of golden light for his Qingyun Road.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Gu Shao dismounted and handed the reins to Gu San.

Gu Shao's attitude was better, so he bowed his hand and asked, "General Li, please."

Li Yuanqing dismounted and bowed his hand to return the gift, "Thank you, Lord Gu."

Gu San and Liu Kui behind were stunned. On the way, they were obviously disgusted with each other. At this time, their attitudes changed greatly. They actually felt like they were sympathetic and had a close relationship.

When he entered the Gu family, Gu Shao said to Li Yuanqing: "Distribute a yard for you and your people. Gu will also arrange a few servants who are familiar with the capital for General Li. If you have any needs, just tell the servant."

Li Yuanqing chuckled, "Thank you."

"After washing and having meals, we will discuss it carefully." Gu Shao said in a deep voice, personal feelings have been pressed in his heart, and national affairs are important. This is the critical moment when he and Li Yuanqing unite to fight against the enemy together.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Mr. Gu, don't be so anxious. Without materials, everything Li said is empty talk."

Gu Shao narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Yuanqing, thinking that Li Yuanqing was trying to guard against him, "What materials does General Li want?"

Li Yuanqing replied: "Let's take Xiyun Kingdom as an example. The last three wars with Xiyun Kingdom in the previous dynasty, the food, grass, military expenses, the number of people sacrificed, and the rewards given to Xiyun Kingdom after the signing of the peace talks. In addition, Xiyun Kingdom launched the

The price paid for the war. It is a long time, so it is best to collect nature, which can be used as one of the reasons for the demise of the previous dynasty."

"In addition, after the founding of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Xiyun Kingdom started a war against the Great Zhou Kingdom. The food, grass and military expenses consumed by our Great Zhou and the rewards to the Xiyun Kingdom, as well as the food, grass and military expenses consumed by the Xiyun Kingdom to launch a war, the number of people sacrificed.
