General Chen is back?

Everyone in the hall was confused!

General Chen... Which General Chen?

Many people didn't react. There were few generals named Chen in Long Kingdom, right?

Some people wonder: "Which General Chen?"

Outside the hall, Chen Chenxiao's voice came in: "Everyone, you actually forgot me, Chen Xiao? It's so heartbreaking!"

As the sound came in, Chen Xiao slowly walked into the hall wearing handsome armor!

In the hall, all civil and military officials looked back at the door.

Immediately afterwards, everyone was shocked.

Only then did they remember that General Chen was the Chen Xiao they discussed earlier.

But then, many people's doubts came up again.

Isn’t Chen Xiao at the border without any news?

Why did you come back by yourself?

Not to mention civil and military officials, even the emperor was stunned.

In the past half a month, Chen Xiao did not send back the news.

The emperor was still looking forward to news from Chen Xiao.

As a result, Chen Xiao is back by himself?

How many meanings does this mean?

At this moment, Chen Xiao walked into the hall with a swagger and bowed: "I, please see Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite... Chen Xiao, why are you back now? Not fighting a war at the border?"

The emperor couldn't help but ask directly!

The ministers looked at Chen Xiao one after another.

Chen Xiao spoke calmly: "Back to Your Majesty, the war is over!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked.

Immediately afterwards, the Minister of Works spoke: "Did you lose... lose?"

"If you lose, will you still stand here?" Chen Xiao spoke without hesitation.

The Minister of Works was stunned, and the Minister of Personnel said:

"So, I won!"

Chen Xiao still had no expression on his face.

Many people's faces became weird.

So fast, win? Is this a bit unrealistic?

More people have already figured out that there is no plot to fight in the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom at all.

So someone said, "I think this southern Xinjiang country should be cowardly and did not send troops to fight at all, so the war did not start. General Chen is not considered a winner, after all, there was no war!"

"Yes, I can only say that General Chen made a trip in vain."

"If I had known that the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom would not have sent troops to fight, so General Chen would not have had to go there!"

Everyone was talking, but Chen Xiao still didn't say anything.

However, the third prince and the fifth prince looked really bad.

They were discussing before, using Chen Xiao’s time to fight outside to see if they could take action against Long Jiuling and destroy Chen Xiao’s backer with the emperor.

Can……

Now, Chen Xiao is back.

The plan has not yet begun and is dead in the cradle.

This is simply unacceptable to them.

Both of them had a calm face and felt uncomfortable.

At this time, the emperor asked Chen Xiao: "Didn't Chen Xiao launch a war in the southern border?"

Chen Xiao said: "Go back to Your Majesty, the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom sent 150,000 troops to invade the South!"

"What?" Some minister was surprised.

"150,000? This is more than the garrison in the south. This... is wrong. Was it a fight or not?" Some generals were puzzled.

Seeing that the emperor was asking, Chen Xiao simply spoke directly:

"Your Majesty, the southern border country sent 150,000 troops to invade the south of Long Kingdom. I led 100,000 border troops and immediately encircled and launched a battle on a plain on the border.

Our army surrounded the enemy and besieged the enemy for a week, causing the enemy to cut off the water source, thereby consuming the enemy's energy until the enemy collapsed. Then we took out the water source and surrendered to get water.

Therefore, the entire enemy army surrendered, handed over weapons and armor, and became prisoners on their own. Therefore, this battle was fought. Victory was won by wisdom, without losing a soldier, and a great victory was won!"

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, the whole court was quiet!

Many people were digesting what Chen Xiao said, but the emperor stood up excitedly and said:

"No one soldier or soldier can be allowed. Just use some water to win a great victory and capture 150,000 troops from the Southern Xinjiang? Chen Xiao, what are you telling the truth?"

"Your Majesty, you can't tolerate lies!" Chen Xiao spoke.

The emperor was shocked and then said excitedly:

"Okay, okay, good job, show our country's power Chen Xiao!"

At this time, the left Prime Minister suddenly spoke: "General Chen is really talented and intelligent, but he is just confused. How should these 150,000 enemy troops be dealt with? If they are killed, it will be too inhumane and will lose the style of a great power.

If it is imprisoned,... the food rations of 150,000 people will be quite consumed. This... our Long Kingdom does not need to raise these people for the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom. It is not realistic to make them treason and become Long Kingdom people..."

Everyone nodded, many people also wanted to know how to solve this problem.

Chen Xiao said: "What the Prime Minister said is very true, but don't worry, the 150,000 southern Xinjiang countries have given all the food and drinks from our army.

In addition, I sold these large troops to the southern Xinjiang country at a certain price. The food expenses and money for the redeem of the 150,000 troops in a few days were sold, a total of 10 million taels of silver."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, the ministers took a breath.

The Minister of Justice said amused and crying:

"This... General Chen, you captured 150,000 enemy troops and asked the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom for 10 million taels of silver? This... can the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom give it?"

"I gave it!" Chen Xiao said.

The Minister of Justice was speechless and thought that this southern Xinjiang country would not be embarrassed?

If you lose a fight, can you still use the money to redeem people?

This... is simply embarrassing!

The emperor felt that Chen Xiao was doing well and said with a smile: "Chen Xiao, you really have it. So, you easily solved the prisoner problem and made a fortune for the Long Kingdom?"

"more than!"

Chen Xiao said.

"ah?"

Everyone was stunned.

More than? What does it mean?

"Chen Xiao, is there something else?" the emperor asked.

"In this battle, the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom lost, and I also asked for war compensation." Chen Xiao said.

After hearing this, the emperor thought about it and said, "It's nothing more than tribute every year, right? Well, this is what it should be."

"This is the basis. What I said is that I also asked the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom for 20 million taels of silver to pay war reparations." Chen Xiao said lightly.

The emperor's eyes widened when he heard this.

"War reparations?" The emperor was puzzled: "There is this thing? And... 20 million taels of silver? Can the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom give it?"

"Give it. Why don't you give it? I won't lead the troops to attack him, see if he gives money or the throne." Chen Xiao said.

Everyone was speechless and thought, "What a robber?"

"I really gave it?" The emperor was surprised.

Chen Xiao: "I gave it, the money is all outside. Later, the Minister of Rites please bring someone to count it. There are a total of 30 million taels of silver, no more or less!"

The Minister of Rites' face changed. He knew that several officials from the previous Ministry of Rites were cheated by Chen Xiao for a night of money, and later they all died!

Counting the money again this time?

Although I was thinking too much, I felt disgusted!

"Okay, okay, Chen Xiao, you really have you. You won't lose a soldier or a soldier. After winning a battle, you also earned 30 million taels of silver? Haha, show your power in our country!" The emperor laughed.

Chen Xiao said: "More than stop!"

“And not stop?”

Everyone was stunned, what else did they do?

Chen Xiao said: "I also want a city, so send someone to take over!"
Chapter completed!
