Soon, the Great Pillar State of Huangman arrived. As soon as he entered the big tent, Su Lai sat down without waiting for the Crown Prince of Yue to speak.
The Crown Prince of Yue, Lianman, stepped forward and bowed to Sulai, without any trace of the arrogance he had shown the last time they met.
"Dazhuguo, you are finally here!"
After meeting, they even used honorifics.
The last time we met, he wasn't so low-key.
Su Lai smiled coldly in his heart, then slowly raised his head and looked at the Prince of Yue.
"Your Highness, I already know everything."
"Now, it is useless to think about anything else. I wonder what your Highness the Crown Prince is going to do next?"
Although he felt happy, Huangman and Yue State were still in the process of cooperation.
The royal court already knew about Dagan's actions as well as the actions of various tribes on the grassland.
However, even though I know it, I can't do anything about it.
Because they have absolutely no way to deal with it.
Therefore, we still have to rely on the State of Yue.
Before this battle, Huang Man proposed to send troops together with the State of Yue.
Completely destroyed Xiao Chuyun.
By destroying Dagan's 20,000 troops, Dagan will be unable to exert influence on the various tribes on the grassland in a short period of time.
However, their proposal was directly rejected by the stubborn and self-willed Prince of Yue.
After the last battle at Hulukou, the Crown Prince of Yue had become completely arrogant.
Since this is the case, there is nothing to do but give up.
Anyway, the number of Yue’s troops is several times that of Dagan’s.
Even so, the combat power of the two sides is very different.
However, even if Yue State did not win, its defeat would not be too unbearable.
Who could have thought that the State of Yue was such a waste.
They were defeated in one fell swoop by Da Gan's 25,000 troops.
Tens of thousands of people were killed or injured, and even their courage was lost.
What a waste!
If I had known this would happen, I would never have listened to this guy.
Now, the situation has become like this and the impact is really huge.
The Crown Prince of Yue State hurriedly said: "Great Pillar State, in this situation, please help Huang Man!"
"After this defeat, there must be villains causing trouble in our court."
"If Huang Man doesn't support me, I'm afraid our cooperation won't be able to continue."
"Dazhuguo, now Dagan's influence on the various tribes on the grassland is increasing, and the royal court has completely lost its voice in Mo Nan."
"Now, apart from cooperating with this prince and supporting me to ascend to that position, I am afraid that Huang Man will never have the opportunity to get involved in Mo Nan!"
These words touched Su Lai's heart.
If he didn't need to continue cooperating with Yue State and obtain Yue State's resources, he would not appear here.
Su Lai asked calmly, "Your Highness, I, Huang Man, will naturally support you."
"But you also know the situation in the wilderness."
"We are really powerless at the moment!"
Support, that is a must.
However, we also need to negotiate conditions.
The Crown Prince of Yue was not stupid. When he heard Su Lai say this, he knew that he was negotiating terms with him.
He immediately said: "Great Pillar State, I hope that the Wilderness side can directly support me to ascend to that position!"
"As long as Huang Man agrees, I can give him 150,000 dan of grain and 50,000 pieces of cloth every year."
Previously, he had discussed conditions with Huang Man.
Otherwise, Huang Man would not have supported him and given him the confidence to fight against Da Gan.
The previous condition was that the two countries could trade without charging any tariffs.
In addition, every year, 100,000 dan of grain and 30,000 rolls of high-quality cloth were donated to the barbarians.
In addition, there are 20,000 kilograms of pig iron.
Now, as soon as the Prince of Yue opened his mouth, the price of grain increased from 100,000 dan to 150,000 dan.
The price of cloth also increased from 30,000 to 50,000.
However, he did not mention the amount of pig iron.
Because, as for food and cloth, more of them doesn't matter.
Iron is a strategic resource.
Don't let go easily.
Upon hearing this, Su Lai couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is joking!"
The Crown Prince of Yue's face changed, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "I wonder what the conditions are for the Grand Pillar State?"
Su Lai said, "First of all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also aware of my wild situation."
"We can't prepare a larger army."
"At present, we only have tens of thousands of troops."
"Among them, only the 20,000 in my hands can be mobilized, and the rest of the troops must protect the royal court."
"Your Highness, if we gather these defeated troops under your command, they should be able to help you seize that position, right?"
"It may not be necessary for me to take savage action."
The Crown Prince of Yue took a deep breath again and said, "Great Pillar State, we are frank people and don't speak in secret."
"If you have any conditions, just tell me!"
If things were really as simple as Su Lai said, he would have done it eight hundred years ago.
The situation in Yue State is complicated. If he really dares to use force, he will never be able to reach that position.
They didn't dare to do it before, and now more than half of their men have been killed, and they are all scared. They dare not do it anymore.
Seeing his anxious look, Su Lai said, "How about this, for the next ten years, the Kingdom of Yue will give me 200,000 dan of wild grain every year."
"70,000 pieces of cloth."
"Iron, 70,000 jin."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince of Yue exclaimed, "What?"
He couldn't believe his ears.
Two hundred thousand dan of grain.
This is barely acceptable because Yue is a major grain-producing country with a huge cultivated area.
The annual grain harvest is nearly 700,000 dan.
Although it would require tightening one's belt to take out 200,000 dan, it was not impossible to take it on if one gritted one's teeth.
