"Yes, if the Silla people really come to attack, even your dozens of villages will be useless!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Well, let me help you!"
"Ah, thank you sir!" Wang Peng hurriedly lowered his head.
"You are my sidekick. If you are in trouble, I should lend a helping hand. Why thank you so much!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "We will be hunting in a few days, so behave well then!"
"I obey, villain!"
After sending Wang Peng away, Wang Wenzuo's face turned gloomy. The biggest trouble in this matter is not actually Buyeolong and the Baekje people, but the Silla people. Wang Wenzuo knows how difficult it is to deal with these guys. He still remembers how difficult it was for Jin Renwen's men to deal with them at the gates of Pyongyang. Now that he has to deal with these guys again, he can't help but feel a little pain in his head.
"Civil affairs must first be armed, but what should we do now that the armed forces are insufficient?" Wang Wenzuo said to himself: "The only way is to bluff first. Anyway, if Goguryeo is not destroyed, the people of Silla will not Dare to officially start the fight!"
Wang Wenzuo was thinking about how to organize the next field hunt, firstly to check how many troops he could actually mobilize; secondly, he could scare the Silla people and prepare more chips for the next wrangling. At this time, Cao Wenzong came in from outside.
"Ming Gong, Cui Hongdu is outside asking for an audience!"
"Hongdu has returned from Japan? Please invite him in quickly!"
————————————————————
"That's probably what happened!" Cui Hongdu took a sip of water to quench the thirst in his mouth: "But until now, I don't know if the Japanese girl that night was really Princess Saitama, let alone what she said. Is it true or false!”
"It doesn't matter if she is Princess Qiyu or not. Anyway, you didn't suffer a loss at Hongdu, right?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "If He Ba and Fa Seng knew about this, they would definitely be jealous. They are here every day. You are so tired and stinky in the military camp, but you are singing and dancing every night in the Japanese palace, the gap is too big!"
"If they want to trade with me, I would rather train my troops than make a fuss with those Japanese!" Cui Hongdu spread his hands.
"If you don't fight with the Japanese, you will have to fight with the Baekje and Silla people!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "In this land east of the sea, there are enemies everywhere, some with knives, and some without knives!"
"Baekje and Silla people?"
"Yes!" Wang Wenzuo nodded and told the story of the border conflict with the Silla people and Fuyulong: "The situation now is different from the original. Don't always think about drawing a bow and wielding a sword. There is also a battle at the wine table, and life and death are at stake. battle!"
"Damn it!" Cui Hongdu's eyes widened with anger: "It's okay for the Silla people to pay back. We already knew that these guys have ulterior motives. When will a thing like Fuyu Long dare to jump out and urinate? Sanlang, why don't you do it?" There are a few of us, and I’ll cut off this kid’s head right away!”
"I have already taught him a lesson." Wang Wenzuo waved his hand: "Besides, he is the governor of Xiongjin Governor's Mansion and the prince of Fang County. The dignity of the court still needs to be dealt with!"
"I really don't understand why this guy is still staying in Baekje!" Cui Hongdu said angrily: "It was understandable that he was used as a sign when the rebellion was put down, but now that the rebellion has been put down, he should be transferred back Chang'an, save yourself the trouble!"
"Getting in the way?" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Maybe the court hopes that he can get in the way?"
"You expect him to get in the way?" Cui Hongdu opened his mouth wide, and after a few minutes he stammered: "Sanlang, what do you mean-"
"I don't mean anything, I'm just talking casually!" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Actually, you underestimate this guy too much. I found out that some people still support this guy!"
"who?"
"Mainly the powerful people of Baekje, especially those who were surrendered by him after the Battle of Baijiangkou!" Wang Wenzuo said: "In the eyes of those powerful people of Baekje, even though Baekje is dead, they still have the direct lineage of the Baekje royal family. With his bloodline, he is the natural spokesperson for their interests, so they naturally gather around him.
"These stone heads!" Cui Hongdu sneered: "Looks like they need to be beaten hard!"
"We can't say that they are stone-headed. After all, we took advantage of this in the beginning, otherwise we wouldn't have won so easily! Besides, after the counter-insurgency war was over, the properties of these people were more or less affected. Even if we They were not affected, and some of their relatives were affected, so there were various lawsuits, and they had nothing to do with other people in the Dudu Mansion. If they didn’t ask Fu Yulong, who could they ask for help?”
"What are your plans, Sanlang?"
"I'm not the chief officer of the Dudu Mansion, what can I plan?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "The most we can do now is stick to a bottom line. The land deeds issued with the big seal of the Dudu Mansion must be valid, otherwise we will suffer a big loss. Already? Let’s wait until Mr. Liu leaves office to talk about the rest!"
"Mr. Liu resigned? Seriously?" Cui Hongdu was surprised: "Did Mr. Liu do anything that doesn't please his superiors?"
"Well!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "The decree should arrive soon. As for the reason!" He paused slightly: "Actually, many things have no reason. This is not a bad thing for Liu Gong. After all, he You are not young anymore, so if you can maintain your profits and maintain your prosperity, it may not be a bad thing to return to your hometown with honor!"
"That's true!" Cui Hongdu nodded: "But I don't know who the successor is, and he is probably not as good as Mr. Liu!"
"That's not necessarily the case!" Wang Wenzuo laughed.
"Not necessarily? Saburo, do you know who the successor is?"
Wang Wenzuo smiled and did not answer Cui Hongdu's question. He tapped his knuckles lightly on the table. Cui Hongdu knew that the other party was thinking about a problem and did not dare to disturb him, so he waited patiently.
"Hongdu, I will go in person this time!"
"Are you going in person?" Cui Hongdu was surprised: "You mean going to Japan?"
"Yes, after all, I am the Japanese comfort ambassador, not you!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "The first time you go to explore the way, the second time you go to the Japanese capital, it should be my turn!"
"Yes, but there are still many things here, and you need to be in charge!" Cui Hongdu said anxiously: "Why don't you let me go this time, and you stay in Baekje -"
"I didn't say leave immediately!" Wang Wenzuo waved his hand: "Before going to the Japanese country, I will deal with some things first before setting off. Hongdu, you go to that island first and confirm whether it is really there. Princess Saitama spoke of a guide that leads directly to the Japanese capital!"
"Okay!" Cui Hongdu nodded helplessly. He knew that once Wang Wenzuo made a decision, he would not change it easily: "Since this is the case, then everything will be according to your arrangement. What do I need to do?"
"You come with me to the Japanese country, and Baekje will be left in the hands of Bongseng, Heiji Changzhi, and Heba!" Wang Wenzuo obviously already had a clue: "You may not know that the land occupied by the Japanese country is actually only It is less than one-third of the big island where it is located. If all is developed, the production and taxes will be no less than those in Guanzhong and Hebei prefectures and counties. This is a rare opportunity!"
Although Wang Wenzuo had tried his best to make as thorough a plan as possible, the development of the situation still exceeded his expectations. At noon the next day, he learned that another border conflict had broken out ninety miles northwest of Zhouliu City, and Jue Jue Like most border conflicts, it is difficult to confirm who fired the first shot, but it is obvious that the Silla people had planned it for a long time - according to the messenger, a considerable number of Silla cavalry appeared on the battlefield, and under the cover of these cavalry , the Silla people openly relocated all the people from more than a dozen villages around the border, and then set fire to the villages and dug water canals. Obviously, the Silla people knew very well that Baekje, which had just finished the civil war, was even more lacking in population. , rather than land.
"The people of Silla don't want to tell the truth!" Du Shuang sighed: "No one can hide the land, but people can hide! They are retaliating for what happened last time. If we dare to report to the court, everyone will fight If the pen and ink lawsuit comes, we will definitely lose!"
"What do you think, Prince?" Liu Renyuan asked Fuyu Long. He didn't want to ask this person, but in any case, he was also the one with the highest official title in the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion. It would be unreasonable not to consult his opinion.
"I don't have any objections!" Fuyu Long said, his expression dull, in sharp contrast to usual.
"Oh, what about Saburo?"
"We should meet with the Silla people, the sooner the better!" Wang Wenzuo answered simply.
"Discuss with the Silla people?" Liu Renyuan was a little surprised. In his impression, Wang Wenzuo's attitude became much tougher after returning from Chang'an, but he did not expect to be flexible this time.
"Yes, both sides dare not fight. Instead of wasting military supplies, it is better to negotiate peace as soon as possible!" Wang Wenzuo said solemnly: "Let's choose Zhouliucheng as the venue for the negotiation. My subordinates are willing to go!"

Zhou Liucheng.
The tailor worked all night to finish her new dress. The two maids filled the tub with steaming hot water and scrubbed her whole body until her skin turned red. Acheng trimmed her nails, had her hair styled and combed her hair personally, and made her dark hair into gentle curls and put it on her back. Acheng also took out more than ten bottles of carefully selected spices, and Onimuroyun chose one of her favorites, mixed with a hint of lily. Acheng poured the essence onto her fingertips and lightly touched her ears and chin.
Then there is the clothing. The skirt and underwear are both made of silk. The light red material is inlaid with ivory piping on the edges. The opening of the tight underwear is very deep, forming a deep V shape. The skirt itself was extremely close-fitting and the waist was so thin that Oni Shiyun had to hold her breath so that the maid could tighten the belt for her. On her feet were a pair of chinchilla leather slippers, fastened with deer leather straps, supporting her slender white calves.
"You are so beautiful!" Acheng praised.
"Really?" Gui Shiyun asked a little unconfidently. She touched her waist: "Is it a little thick?"
"Hell!" Acheng smiled and said: "If this is called thick, then who am I? I searched all over Baekje and couldn't find a woman with your charming waistline. Believe me, Wang Wenzuo fell in love with you the first time he saw you. You’ll be mesmerized!”
"But he came back from Chang'an. There must be many beauties from the Tang Dynasty there!"
"Really? But he didn't come back alone? In the eyes of those Tang beauties, he is just a stinky Qiuba!" As Cheng spoke, he picked out a necklace from the jewelry box: "Come on, Ayun, you Try this!"
Gui Shiyun put on the necklace, faced the mirror, and said: "But I am no longer a virgin, and I have a child!"
"There's nothing wrong with it!" Ah Cheng grabbed Gui Shiyun's arm and forced the other person's face to face him: "Ayun, men are indeed very stupid guys, but they also know which woman can bring him happiness. Come to real happiness, and then he will be willing to stay with that woman and obey her words, no matter whether that woman is his wife or not. The truth is that simple, Ayun, you are indeed not a virgin, but you are more beautiful than those firewood sticks You know how to make a man happy, are you willing to let him get happiness from you?"
"I, I do!" Although Gui Shiyun's face turned red, she still answered the maid's question.
"Very good! Let's do it!" Acheng patted Onimuro Yun's cheek and picked up a pair of exquisite cloaks from the side: "Come put on this cloak and go to the battlefield! Beautiful clothes belong to women. Armor, hold up your chest, don’t say that only men go to the battlefield, we women also have to go to the battlefield, and good men are women’s trophies!”
Oni Shiyun took a deep breath and puffed up her chest. She walked to the mirror and looked at her makeup. A beautiful woman appeared in the mirror, who seemed a little strange. She forced herself to be brave. Acheng was right, We women have our own battles, and I have to win and let the man find pleasure in me and stay by my side willingly.

"When will the Silla people arrive?" Wang Wenzuo jumped off his horse and asked the Baekje officials who greeted him.
"I don't know!" The official lowered his head in fear. He had heard something about this man before, and he didn't want to suffer the same fate.
"I don't know what you mean?" Wang Wenzuo asked in confusion: "Didn't the people of Silla already agree to discuss the issue of border conflicts?"
"Yes, the Silla people did agree to the discussion, but the location of the discussion has not yet been determined!" The Baekje official replied: "They advocate negotiating within their own country."
"These bastards are still so difficult to deal with!" Wang Wenzuo's mind flashed back to his experience at Pyongyang City. He shook his head: "Okay, tell them that I agree to negotiate within their territory, and ask them immediately for the specific location. inform!"
"Yes! I will inform those Silla people immediately!" the Baekje official replied.
"Has our accommodation been arranged? There are two hundred people in the entourage!"
"Everything has been arranged!" the Baekje official replied: "It is in the palace of Buyeo Fengjang in the past. I hope you will be satisfied!"
