"Simply join forces with us to fight and strive to wipe out the rebels completely."
Wu Li frowned and sighed softly, "As Your Highness knows, we were severely weakened after the battle at Yanluo Mountain. There are countless orphans in our clan now. Alas."
Jing Wang nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes, the imperial court also lost a lot of troops in that battle."
“The traitor is truly guilty of heinous crimes! That is precisely why he must pay the price.”
Wu Li fell silent, and King Jing did not urge him, knowing that he was considering how many troops to send.
After a long pause, Wu Li raised his head, looked at Prince Jing, and slowly said:
"I have already made up my mind. I will prepare my troops in the next few days and head to Nanze after they are assembled."
Upon hearing this, King Jing was overjoyed, and even Jin Ziyi, who was still sitting on the ground, curled his lips into a smile.
"Good! A force of over 100,000 troops should not be a problem, right?" King Jing suppressed his joy and asked in a deep voice.
Wu Li smiled slightly and said:
"That's not a problem."
Prince Qing's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand, saying, "Good!"
"If that's the case, then that's perfect. The more soldiers, the better!"
"Once the rebels are quelled and Qin Ze is beheaded, the Northern Liang will be handed over to the barbarians to govern, as previously agreed!"
Wu Li raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Did His Majesty say this?"
King Jing nodded: "Of course! His Majesty specifically instructed me to do so."
"Not only that, but Beiliang will be exempt from taxes for five years! You can do whatever you want there. And you should know that the Beiku Grassland, which borders Beiliang, is now part of our territory. The Beiku Grassland will also be included in Beiliang's territory."
"Previously, Northern Liang was not considered a wealthy place, but now it is no less prosperous than Suzhou and Hangzhou!"
“Yes, the Beiku Grassland... is also our land now... If one day my barbarian people can graze their livestock there, that would be wonderful. Our people are skilled at taming and herding horses, hahaha.” Wu Li stroked his beard and laughed loudly.
Finally, King Jing was pleased to persuade the barbarians to agree to send troops. He smiled and Jin Ziyi got up from the ground and stood aside with a slight smile.
"In that case, Barbarian King, I will not trouble you any further. I must return to Nanze to report to His Majesty."
"I will leave some men here until your army assembles, then we will immediately head to Nanze and suppress the rebels in one fell swoop," King Jing said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.
Wu Li also stood up at this moment.
"Your Highness, there's no rush to leave."
“Our barbarian tribe is not what it used to be. Our people are scattered in different places, and it will take time to gather our troops.”
“I feel bad for not treating you well earlier, so please stay here and we will take good care of you. Once we have mobilized our troops and prepared our army, we will go to Nanze with you.”
Wu Li, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth and wrinkles crinkling his face, looked at Prince Jing with a broad smile.
