However, there was still a certain degree of difficulty in achieving this.
Of course, Li Chengyuan believed that as long as he guided him well, Zhangsun Wugou would definitely give in.
He thought of Zhangsun Wugou's question just now and said generously,""Surplus grain? Auntie, you're underestimating the production of sweet potatoes. The Great Zhou now has endless food!”
When Zhangsun Wugou heard this, his pupils constricted for a moment, and then a trace of light blossomed.
The Great Zhou had endless food!
She was afraid that the Great Zhou did not have much food left. No matter what she did, Li Chengyuan would not be willing to help the people of the Great Tang.
However, she was no longer worried. Since the Great Zhou could not finish their food, Chengyuan would not refuse to give some to the people of the Great Tang.
After all, they were all Han Chinese, so Chengyuan shouldn't be so heartless.
Immediately, Zhangsun Wugou hugged Li Chengyuan's arm tightly. She shook it slightly and said,""Chengyuan, since the Great Zhou has so much food, can you take some out to help the people at the border of the Great Tang?”
"Of course not!"
Li Chengyuan said without thinking. Even if the feeling coming from his arm was extremely shocking, he would not let go. After all, he was not a bug that had gone to his brain.
"How is that possible?" he shook his head. We are enemies with the Great Tang, so how can we help the enemy?”
Zhangsun Wugou had expected Li Chengyuan to say this. She had her own words to say.
"Chengyuan, you're making an enemy of Second Brother, not the entire Great Tang!" she said. The people are innocent!"
"Didn't you say that you wanted to take back the Great Tang?”
"If this grain disaster causes many people in the Great Tang to die, won't it also affect your future?”
"And I don't want you to take a lot. Just help the people at the border!”
Li Chengyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhangsun Wugou in surprise.
He didn't expect his aunt to be so clear-headed and even know how to use this to persuade him.
However, Li Chengyuan's principle was," If you say so, then so be it. I won't quibble, but he won't listen."”
Li Chengyuan said," So what if he's dead? After I enter the pass, no matter how weak the Great Tang is, I can easily make it strong!”
Zhangsun Wugou wanted to retort, but the words were stuck in his throat.
Even if his second brother had the confidence to make the Great Tang prosper, he wouldn't say that it would be easy.
However, Li Chengyuan was extremely confident. The nonchalance in his words caused Zhangsun Wugou to be somewhat absent-minded.
Zhangsun Wugou couldn't help but compare Li Chengyuan to her second brother. A thought that made her afraid actually appeared in her heart.
She thought that Li Chengyuan was more powerful than Second Brother!
Zhangsun Wugou hurriedly shook her head and threw away all distracting thoughts. She then said,"Then what do you need to do to make you willing to provide food to the people of the Great Tang?”
"I said that I would not give the food to the Great Tang, but if this person is willing to submit to the Great Zhou, I will naturally supply them with food!”
Li Chengyuan said ambiguously.
Zhangsun Wugou's expression changed.
It seemed like Li Chengyuan had already made plans. He had probably long thought of taking advantage of this drought to subdue the refugees of the Great Tang!
It was too bad!
Zhangsun Wugou sighed in his heart. Wouldn't all the preparations he had made previously be in vain?
Li Chengyuan saw the change in Zhangsun Wugou's expression and continued,""However, Zhen knows that it is a little difficult to subdue these people. It may even cause many lives, so"
"Are you going to watch them die?”
Zhangsun Wugou subconsciously asked. After she finished speaking, she regretted it because she saw a hint of a gaze in Li Chengyuan's eyes. His gaze seemed to be saying," I'm definitely going to get you!"
Li Chengyuan shook his head." There's nothing we can do about it. If I send people to surrender, it will most likely only aggravate the suffering. There are many government soldiers at the border! They would not let the Great Zhou do things so easily. At the critical moment, they might even kill the defected commoners, which would add to the trouble.”
Zhangsun Wugou also knew that what Li Chengyuan said was right. She realized that she had taken the initiative to fall into the trap and was unable to escape.
Unless she was willing to let the people of the Tang Empire starve to death, or she didn't want to help Second Brother.
But in his conscience, Zhangsun Wugou simply could not cross this threshold.
She also knew that Li Chengyuan's words were just an excuse. He definitely had a solution.
Zhangsun Wugou gritted his teeth and loosened his hands to face Li Chengyuan. He said as if he was going all out,"Then what should we do?"
Li Chengyuan laughed.
he took a step forward
