Then it may be possible that the people of Sui State will suffer if they don’t have to do anything. By that time, many forces acted as an opportunity to revolt, which would save too much trouble?

When Xiao Xian thought about this, he had to say that Li Mi thought it through carefully. By then, as long as they recruited troops according to the plan, Jiangling would definitely become their possession.

"Li Mi is right, but what should we do to achieve our goals?" Zhang Zhongjian asked.

"This is simple. Goryeo cannot surrender to the Sui State. You can create conflicts in the middle. You can leave the specific matters to me." Li Mi took the initiative to take over the matter.

"Okay." Xiao Xian and Zhang Zhongjian were all right. They just had the result. They really didn't care what Li Mi would do.

Half a month later, the messengers of Goryeo came on a boat. Their purpose this time was to redeem more than 10,000 captured people. Why is there so few? Anything that can happen on the battlefield.

When they came to Hu'er to lead troops to besiege Yang Xuangan and others, they were not ruthless. If it weren't for the fact that it was too late, the soldiers needed to clean the battlefield and rest, even more than 10,000 Koreans might not have been left.

Looking at Yang Xuangan's men, who were formerly a rebel, were now a rebel, and even came to Hu'er, he didn't really kill him, but the life of prisoners of war was like that would definitely not be very easy.

According to the requirements of the vanguard soldiers, these Sui prisoners were taken to Youzhou as soon as possible. The remaining Goryeo pirates were not treated so well. After being captured, they were asked to clean the battlefield and carry out various projects to build and repair.

Lai Hu'er is very smart and knows that Li De wants to go to the battle uniform to work. He actually wants to leave so many people behind, after all, they all have combat experience. If these people are selected to form a vanguard soldier, the combat effectiveness of Penglai soldiers will definitely be improved again, at least the strength will be improved.

Although the idea is very good, objective conditions do not allow it. The most important thing is that so many people do not have food and salary to support them, and even if prisoners of war do not need to pay wages, they still have to eat.

Penglai was originally short of food, so why is this happening? It was not that Yang Xuangan did not really rob the food when he occupied Penglai, but before coming to Huerbao and brought the troops back, Yang Xuangan saw that the situation was not good and did not take into account whether the reputation was good, and he still robbed the local people.

Not only did they rob it, but they were very thorough, which led to Lai Hu'er's furious return to Penglai. Both sides fought for Penglai for life. Unfortunately, all the local people supported Lai Hu'er, which drove Yang Xuangan to the sea.

Maybe this is the crime that will be committed sooner or later. Now, Hu'er faces Yang Xuangan again. The families of Penglai soldiers, the elders and young people, are all in the local area, so why are they not angry?

It is already very considerate to be able to leave so many prisoners of war.

It’s good to come to Hu'er now. After victory, you can get rewards from the court. Prisoners of war can exchange some food in Youzhou. In addition to these prisoners of war, he also plans to let some of the people of Penglai migrate to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji.

When I attacked Goryeo for the third time, I knew the rules for changing people's food. Now, Penglai's troops need some time to recover their strength, those who lack clothing and food will definitely not be able to do so.

If the benefits of the court were solely relied on the benefits of the court, it would not be possible to develop the Penglai soldiers. He knew very well that even if the court had built it to meet his requirements, if the war was not enjoying such treatment after the war was quelled, the Penglai soldiers would fall into a passive position.

Even the general, he will not be in a good situation.

Because of this, he felt that instead of pleased the court, he would establish a good relationship with Youzhou. As long as the people were allowed to pass, he could restore Penglai troops to 100,000 in a short period of time.

Hoarding enough food can strengthen its power with the annual grain output in Penglai.

He was a little envious of Youzhou. After all, Li De's method was like this. He was also ready to do so.

The Korean prisoners worked in Penglai, and they were doing business to build commercial districts to Hu'er who didn't understand. However, he could copy the Youzhou model. He now knows the benefits of the prisoners of war. He only needs to provide food every day. If the people are mobilized to pay wages, it will really not be able to support the project.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. He had received news from Jiangling that the Goryeo envoy had arrived in Jiangling and proposed to His Majesty that he wanted to redeem these people.

There is no way to come to protect the other, but the emperor really issued an order to let him release others, and he had no way to refuse.

After the Goryeo envoy arrived in Jiangling, they met Emperor Yang of Sui. The condition they offered was that Goryeo surrendered to the Sui Kingdom, and the Sui Kingdom needed to release prisoners of war and provide help in building Goryeo.

Others have very good reasons. After many wars, Goryeo's fortunes consumed huge amounts. If the Sui Kingdom supports them, they can sign a contract of vassal states and pay tribute every year.

Emperor Yang of Sui satisfied his sense of conquest when he saw the Goryeo envoy so humble, but he did not agree immediately.

Emperor Yang of Sui was not stupid. The conditions offered by the Goryeo envoy were very clear. The prerequisite for paying tribute was that the Sui State needed to provide money to help the other party restore the country's destiny.

For a Goryeo, even if you help, it is just the annual income of several prefectures. What you get is that the other party pays tribute every year. In fact, in terms of value, it is not what you think on the surface.

Although it is a small country, if it wants to restore its national destiny, the money that the Sui country has to pay is not the taxes of several states and prefectures. A large amount of money is equal to free, and then people will take out some every year to pay tribute.

If Li De heard this, he would definitely sneer. Isn’t this the same as borrowing a treasury bond, and then he will take out some of the money he borrowed every year to send it back, just like paying interest.

What’s ridiculous is that the tribute money was lent out by the Sui State.

Emperor Yang of Sui naturally thought of this. He valued wealth very much and it was not very likely to take advantage of him. Faced with the conditions of the Goryeo envoy, most of the ministers in the court opposed it.

Li Mi of the Xiao family came over and told all the requests of the Goryeo envoy.

"Li Mi, what do you think of this? Will the emperor agree?" Zhang Zhongjian asked.

"I don't know, I hope Your Majesty can agree." Li Mi's attitude towards this matter has changed. The plan is not as fast as the change. Now this change has given him a great surprise.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Xian said slowly, as he seemed to have thought of something.

"What the head of the Xiao family is thinking is right. When Emperor Wen of Sui was alive, Emperor Yang of Sui was able to rob the 'imperial sect'. Why can't we?" Li Mi said.

In fact, they just heard that even Li Mi didn't know where the final "imperial sect" went, but rumors were all taken away by Yang Guang, the King of Jin at that time.

Things cannot be verified, and even fake things are recognized by the public, so it is difficult to shirk them.

Li Mi just wanted to help Goryeo with money.
