Although he didn't believe that it really only cost 300,000 yuan, and he didn't believe that only 5,000 imperial troops could conquer Jiaozhi.

Sima Guang knew it.

Now it's five thousand. If the war starts, even fifty thousand won't be able to stop it.

Fifty thousand people, that’s three million!

Maybe even ten million guan will not be able to stop it!

Where can I get so much money?

In the end, shouldn’t this money have to be spent on the people?

The people are already suffering a lot!

However, Sima Guang also understood that the matter was actually a done deal.

The appointments of Zhang Dun and Di Yong have been given.

The decision-making between the DPRK and China has also been finalized.

He cannot change the status quo.

The reason why Sima Guang persisted in submitting the letter was so persevering.

He even drags his sick body with him and keeps begging for sex.

In fact, it is to advance before retreating - this is the habit of Jiayou Laochen.

When talking about things, we usually take three steps forward, then one or two steps back, so that we can at least take one step forward in the end.

If you are lucky and can achieve all three steps at once, that will be even more beautiful!

Renmiao and Yingmiao were often fooled by ministers.

Therefore, after Sima Guang learned about the affairs of Jiaozhi in the south, he had only one appeal from beginning to end - the people of Jiaozhi should be given a chance to defend themselves!

As long as the people of Cochin surrender, it will be fine.

By then, only the three hundred thousand guan will be wasted.

300,000 yuan is a good deal for a decent face - after all, the Jiaozhi people are indeed provocative and invade first. If they don't even respond to this, then the emperor and the two palaces will indeed lose their face!

What's more, these 300,000 yuan can also save one new general in the capital!

This is more cost-effective.

So Sima Guang picked up his pen again and began to write a letter.

This time, he wrote very seriously, it was very long, and he put a lot of emotion into it.

However, his health was not very good, so after only writing for a while, he felt a little unable to do what he wanted. He had no choice but to let his son Sima Kang write it for him, and he dictated it.

After finishing writing, Sima Guang checked it twice to make sure that there were no taboos or typos, so he asked Sima Kang to copy it and then stamp it with his own hand.

After finishing this matter, Sima Guang said to Sima Kang: "When Zhang Dun and others leave the capital tomorrow, hand this letter to the Secretary of Tongjian!"

Sima Kang raised his head in surprise.

Sima Guang smiled and said: "As a minister, you must be aware of contingencies!"

He is indeed stubborn, but he is not ignorant of flexibility and insists on having his own way.

What's more, his purpose from the beginning to the end was not to stop the army from going south - five thousand people, the total cost was only 300,000 yuan.

But to prevent war, at least a large-scale war!

And Sima Guang believed that the emperor would know his good intentions.

You must also know that the people are already suffering terribly!

The Son of Heaven is benevolent and sage, and he must be aware of the sufferings of the people, and he must not tolerate the suffering of the people because of a barren land.

Well, starting from today, I will first pay off the August monthly pass plus 40 chapters.

Then pay back the arrears from yesterday and the previous few days.
Chapter completed!
