"good!"
Ji Chong'er no longer hesitated, "I believe you, so I agree to the alliance with Chu.
But the prerequisite is that the State of Chu must pay half of the food and military supplies needed for my army to go on the expedition.
Let's leave the negotiations with the State of Chu to Mao Sui for now."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Yue Yi and others bowed one after another.
A few days later, Li Yuan accepted Jin's suggestion and agreed to pay half of the food and military pay, allowing Jin to dispatch a million troops.
