Zhao Hao said softly: "Don't even think about military rations and reserve grain. This is absolutely impossible."
"So that means that our grain purchase will ultimately depend on Princess Yucheng?"
Bluebird nodded and said, "I'm afraid so, so... it would be better for the Marquis to agree to cooperate with Princess Yucheng as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, it will become increasingly difficult for us to purchase grain. Under the current circumstances, Wu will definitely purchase grain from Shu."
Zhao Hao sighed helplessly and said, "But I really don't want to let my friends down."
The blue bird said, "My Lord, we have to prioritize things. Right now, our country is in the midst of a war and is in urgent need of a large amount of food and fodder. There is nothing that cannot be put aside for the time being."
"If you really feel sorry for Princess Li Ge, you can cooperate with them after we win this war."
Zhao Hao nodded slightly: "For now, this is the only way. Miss Bluebird, go and call Dashan in."
The bluebird was immediately delighted and hurried over. A moment later, Dashan walked in.
"What do you want, Mr. Zhao?"
"Dashan, please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to come over. I have something important to discuss with Her Royal Highness."
"Yes, sir, wait a moment, I will go and invite Her Royal Highness the Princess."
After saying that, Dashan bowed to Zhao Hao and turned away.
Zhao Hao shook his head helplessly.
How deep is my friendship with Princess Li Ge?
Not really.
When he was working hard, he didn't want to cause any trouble because Princess Yongning was watching him closely.
Therefore, overall, the contact with Princess Li Ge is relatively rare.
However, there is nothing to say about the way Her Royal Highness the Princess treats him.
And he has never been arrogant and has always been very humble.
Every time the two met, Princess Li Ge was just friends with them.
Moreover, in order to attend his coronation ceremony, the originally scheduled date for returning home was repeatedly postponed.
So, when returning to the country, Zhao Hao did not go to see him off in person.
On the contrary, when he came to Shu, people personally led a team to the border to welcome him.
To do this for him, although there must be some valuable references in this, Zhao Hao deserves it.
But, isn't this still friendship?
Of course it counts.
Therefore, Zhao Hao had been holding back and had not taken the initiative to visit Princess Yu Chengzhang.
He knew very well that once he visited the other party, the result would be like this.
However, given the current situation, we can only ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to step back for a moment.
Not long after, Princess Li Ge arrived and asked as soon as she came in, "Have you been to my aunt's place?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "I just visited him and had a brief chat."
Princess Li Ge asked, "What conditions did my aunt give you?"
Zhao Hao did not hide it and whispered, "Her Royal Highness the Princess said that as long as I am willing to cooperate with her in all aspects, she will guarantee to facilitate the alliance between Da Gan and Shu."
"There is one additional condition."
Princess Li Ge asked, "Cut off all cooperation with me?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Princess Li Ge was silent for a long time, then sighed helplessly.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask: "Do you think that if she works at her full capacity, she can facilitate an alliance between our two countries before the war has a clear conclusion?"
Princess Li Ge's eyes moved, and then she shook her head: "I'm not sure about this, I can only say that it's difficult."
"I went to see my sister yesterday and heard some news."
"Now, ministers in the court, many military officers want to join the war, but they are all suppressed."
"And when they joined the war, they chose Southern Chu and Wu, not you guys."
"The opinions of the civil officials are to delay the time as much as possible, and not to side with Wu and Southern Chu, nor with you guys to do it."
"So, given the current situation, even if my aunt takes action, it will be difficult for her to play a big role."
"Of course, if you get the help of your aunt, at least one thing can be guaranteed, that is, she can help you delay the work for a longer time."
"It won't cause Shu to side with Wu and Southern Chu so quickly."
"From this point of view, you should agree to cooperate with her."
Zhao Hao smiled bitterly: "But if that's the case, I will have to end my cooperation with you."
"I don't like to disappoint any of my friends."
Princess Li Ge smiled, shook her head and said, "My lord, you don't have to think like that."
"Now is the most critical moment for Da Gan. It is understandable what decision you make, young master."
"Don't feel burdened just because you are friends with Li Ge. If you do, it will be Li Ge's fault."
"What's more, Li Ge also hopes that our Shu Kingdom can stand on the side of Da Gan instead of the side of Wu and Southern Chu."
"If auntie can do her best to help you to promote the alliance between the two countries, Li Ge will be happy to see it."
Seeing Princess Li Ge's serious and sincere expression, Zhao Hao felt even more uncomfortable.
Look, what a considerate girl this is.
Not only was he not angry, but he even tried to enlighten him.
How nice!
Zhao Hao said softly: "Your Highness's words really make me at a loss for words."
After a pause, he continued, "Your Highness, then our cooperation is over."
"but……"
"If Your Highness doesn't mind, I can introduce a new partner to you."
