Chapter 548: Civil War and Foreign War
If the Tang army's capture of Daliang could be considered a peaceful evolution, then the Tang army's entry into the State of Chu was simply a bloody battle!
Since King Wu defeated King Zhou, all parts of the Central Plains have basically given up large-scale human sacrifice and human sacrifice, but the State of Chu still goes its own way, otherwise it would not be called barbarians!

For those who are interested in studying oracle bone inscriptions or folk customs, the unique culture and customs of the Chu State are definitely their favorite things to study.

But if they were to travel back to the State of Chu and become ready-made sacrifices, I think no one would be willing to experience the entire sacrificial process in person for the sake of their own research and hobbies.

The activity of offering nobles as sacrifices to welcome the King of Tang arose in various parts of the Chu State, forcing Li Qingyuan to order a ban.

There is no way. You said you burned those old noble men, which would have been fine, but you actually burned their little girls as well. This is such a waste of resources!
You know, as a frugal person, he has always insisted on the principle of never wasting anything. He would check the female members of the family before searching their houses. But you unruly people just burned everything without thinking twice. It's really hateful.

Don’t think that the King of Tang is a good person just because he distributes food to these untouchables. The King of Tang said that he has never been of the same species as these untouchables. All the talk about him being a good person or a holy emperor is just the imagination of the untouchables below.

In fact, there is no difference between him and the old nobles of various countries, except that he has more knowledge and knows that pigs should be fattened before being slaughtered!

Besides, as a king who loves beautiful women, Li Qingyuan feels that he needs to make sure the people in his jurisdiction live a good life.

After all, a beautiful creature must be raised with adequate nutrition. If she is hungry and malnourished from childhood, even the most beautiful beauty will become pale and thin, unbearable to look at!
"General Wang, how many troops are needed to attack Zhao?"

In the Wuji Palace in Luoyang City, Li Qingyuan asked Wang Jian who had just surrendered.

Li Qingyuan did not kill all the nobles. At the beginning, most of the Korean nobles were killed by Bai Yifei, and it had nothing to do with him at all.

As for the nobles of other countries, unless they were stubborn enough to resist to the end, or were so cruel that they lost the support of the people and were killed by them, the rest were basically just deprived of their property and land and demoted to commoners.

If one is really capable, as long as he can pass the examination questions set by the Tang King, he can continue to start as a grassroots bureaucrat. After all, the Tang Kingdom is too big and there are too few people to do the work. Under the pressure of Liu Ji, Lu Wan managed to learn how to write 300 commonly used characters and then got the position of county magistrate!
The King of Tang did not force everyone to learn Tang script, but if one wanted to become an official, one had to be able to write Tang script, and all official documents had to be written in Tang script. In just one year, the original Korean script had been swept into the pile of old papers, and even those old Korean nobles who had survived no longer learned Korean.

As for some who were truly capable, such as Wang Jian, Li Qingyuan said that he was definitely a very kind king, and as long as he was willing to surrender, the Wang family could still retain its wealth and glory.

There was no other way. Fan Yuqi's military capability was there. Although he could still use food and money to pave the way for attacking Zhao State, the worst that could happen was that he could spend more money to let Guo Kai get rid of Li Mu. After all, Guo Kai had become so proficient in doing this kind of thing that it was instinct!
But!
What happens after defeating Zhao State?

You must know that the Huns are now on the eve of a great integration, and Touman Chanyu is unifying the grassland!

As for the residents of the Central Plains, Li Qingyuan said that he would accept it even if they had to use food to clear the way. After all, they were his family. But how could he throw food to the Huns?
He is not like some people who can't even support their own poor but spend huge amounts of wealth to support a group of African Homo sapiens!
Besides, if he gave food to these people, they would worship him like a god, but how could he give food to the Huns?

Those guys will just think why don’t you just give him the meat!
Before traveling through time, Li Qingyuan had read records about refugees from various countries. Those so-called refugees lived in apartments, eating, drinking and having fun every day. When the relief money was due every month, they would make trouble when it was not given to them, and cry that the government discriminated against them.

If anyone tells them to go to work, they will immediately gather a group of people to march and protest everywhere, and even smash, loot and burn!
Therefore, since the time when Dayu controlled the floods, we have known that disaster relief can only be achieved through work-in-lieu of relief. However, the barbarians still have not learned this principle thousands of years later. It can only be said that racial differences are greater than biological differences.

Wang Jian originally planned to be a loyal minister. After all, the Wang family was a family with military achievements in Qin State, and he was planning to make a good name for himself. But...
If he were alone, then suicide would naturally be the best choice, but the Wang family is a big family!
Not counting the collaterals, there are hundreds of people in his family. Li Qingyuan said that he is a kind person. If Wang Jian is willing to surrender, everything will be fine. If Wang Jian wants to be loyal to the Qin State? Then just send the whole Wang family to surrender together.

In response to the King of Tang's sincere invitation, Wang Jian immediately expressed that he actually admired the King of Tang very much and was willing to contribute to the prosperity of the Tang State.

"If the king can provide enough food, 200,000 will be enough! If we want to use the troops normally, we will need 500,000!"

"What if Zhao abandons Li Mu?"

"If Zhao didn't use Li Mu and Pang Nuan, it would only take 100,000 veterans to conquer Zhao!"

Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, then immediately expressed his opinion.

Since he had surrendered for the sake of his family, Wang Jian also wanted to gain some benefits for his family.

Although he is now a general, he does not have any official title or even a fiefdom. Now his entire family relies on the money stored in the mansion to survive.

When the Wang family was in the Qin State, they had several thousand households in fiefdom, but the Tang State did not recognize it!

Therefore, Wang Jian is now in urgent need of earning some money for his descendants' retirement. It can only be said that no matter when a child is born, he will be directly held in the palm of someone's hand.

"Send someone to see Guo Kai immediately and ask him to find a way to put Li Mu and Pang Nuan in jail. Pang Nuan is still alive?"

Li Qingyuan has great confidence in Guo Kai's abilities, after all, his battle record can be checked.

Anyway, he was just buying some handicrafts on a voluntary basis. They were cheap items that only cost tens of thousands of dollars in total. Let Guo Kai get excited!

"Pang Nuan fought with this old minister last year!"

Li Qingyuan felt particularly curious about Wang Jian's answer. Not many people might know this guy Pang Nuan, but you only need to know that this old man once served as an official under King Wuling of Zhao.

From King Wuling of Zhao to the present day, the State of Zhao has had five generations of monarchs. It can be said that Pang Nuan is definitely a living fossil of the Warring States Period!
"How old is he?"

Li Qingyuan felt a little numb. No matter how you calculate it, Pang Nuan should be over 120 years old, right?
At this age, can you still go out to fight?
