Yun Zheng doesn't like others bargaining with him.
He especially doesn't like Jiayao bargaining with him.
Jia Yao seemed not to notice the displeasure on Yun Zheng's face, and said to herself: "Thirty percent of the food and fodder is up to you, and you take fifty percent of the weapons, armor, and war horses we seized over there..."
Yun Zheng frowned and was about to refuse, but Jia Yao stopped him and said, "Don't be so hasty to refuse. Just listen to me!"
"Okay, you go ahead!"
Yun Zheng snorted, "Let me see how you convince me."
Jia Yao looked up at the sky in the distance and said calmly, "I guarantee that the 50% of the war horses I give you are all intact! The armor and weapons, all intact ones are given to you, and the damaged ones are left to us!"
oh?
Is there such a good thing?
Yun Zheng was slightly surprised.
...
...
All to intact warhorses?
Jia Yao's condition really touched him!
However, this is not like Jiayao's character!
Yun Zheng thought about it silently, then asked with a smile, "You didn't hide some of the seized supplies, did you?"
Jia Yao turned around and said, "You guys left someone there too, do you think we can hide it privately?"
"You certainly wouldn't keep the spoils from the previous battle, but wouldn't you keep the spoils from the earliest battle?" Yun Zheng stared at Jia Yao with a half-smile, "Do you believe that you are such an honest person?"
“I really didn’t hide it.”
Jia Yao shook his head slightly. "Almost all the spoils from the first battle were used as military supplies for my army expansion! Otherwise, how could I have the confidence to attack the 40,000-strong army of Muliju head-on?"
"Okay! I'll consider your explanation acceptable." Yun Zheng smiled to himself, "I can understand why you gave me an intact warhorse, but why did you leave behind those damaged armor and weapons?"
Injured war horses can be used as military rations, stallions, or mules.
For Beihuan, getting more war horses, even injured ones, would be of great use.
But why did she leave so many broken armors and weapons?
Could it be that she also wants to repair the armor and weapons and expand the army?
What are you thinking about!
After the war, will I give her the opportunity to expand her army?
"Don't worry, if you don't let me expand the army, how dare I expand it?"
Jia Yao glanced at Yun Zheng and lowered his eyebrows and said, "You are not unaware of the situation in Beihuan! When you attacked us before, many of our farm tools were used to forge weapons!"
"The cold winter is coming, and many of our people will be idle. We need to prepare farm tools in advance for next year's farming."
"Also, you have to let us repair some of our weapons and armor so that we can keep them as spare replacements, right?"
"Of course, if you are willing to send tens of thousands of troops to help us defend against the northern barbarians, I don't want anything. I can even give you the weapons and armor on our horses!"
Yun Zheng now has no enemies around him.
But there is a northern barbarian tribe to the north of Beihuan!
Although the northern barbarians have low intelligence, they are physically strong!
No matter what she does, she has to be on guard against the northern barbarians!
Yun Zheng thought silently for a while, then smiled with relief: "Okay! Since you have said so much, I won't embarrass you! Anyway, you are a smart person, I believe you know what to do and what not to do."
"Then it's a deal!"
Jia Yao turned his head and said, "Next, let's talk about business!"
"oh?"
Yun Zheng became interested, "What business do you want to discuss?"
"I want to buy food from you!"
Jia Yao once again thought about the food. "I know that the possibility of the Guifang fighting us again is very small, but negotiations also take time. It is normal for a negotiation to last two or three months..."
She knew clearly that in order to force the Guifang to land, she must have enough troops to suppress them.
Yun Zheng would definitely let her lead these 10,000 cavalrymen to attack Guifang.
She wanted to buy some food from Yun Zheng in advance as follow-up rations for their 10,000-strong army.
Jiayao’s meaning is also very simple.
After they have negotiated with the Guifang and gained benefits from them, she will use gold and silver to pay for the purchase of food.
Or, you can return the food to Yun Zheng when the time comes.
In simple terms, it means advance payment!
However, she would definitely prefer to buy it with gold and silver.
After suffering from the food shortage, she would rather store more food than keep the gold, silver and jewelry.
“In fact, our food is also in short supply.”
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Have you ever counted how many captives we have this time? Do you think these captives don't have food or water? Do you think I'm a northern barbarian who brought these captives back as food?"
One hundred thousand prisoners!
How much food is needed to feed them?
Moreover, it doesn't mean that we won't need to consume food if we bring these prisoners back.
As long as these people are alive, they will consume food.
Did she still think there was plenty of food in Shuobei?
I am trying to get food from inside the country, how can I give her so much food?
Not to mention anything else, even if everything goes well on the journey, it will take one or two months to escort so many prisoners back!
Did these prisoners eat grass all the way for such a long time?
Jia Yao opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After a long while, Jia Yao finally said tentatively: "How about this, you sell me three months' worth of food for 10,000 troops! I can directly escort the food and grass to Guifang from here, and save the trouble of going back and forth. What do you think?"
“…”
Yun Zheng looked at Jia Yao with a dark face.
This woman's obsession with food is really deep!
Does it really mean that you won't miss any opportunity to get food?
Yun Zheng pondered for a while, and looked at Jia Yao who was looking at him pitifully, "Forget it, forget it, I will be a good person to the end and give you three months of food, is that okay?"
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Jia Yao couldn't help but widen his eyes.
It seemed that he couldn't believe his ears.
"You...really send it to me?"
Jia Yao looked at Yun Zheng with surprise.
This is not like Yun Zheng’s style!
Has the sun risen from the west?
Yun Zheng was speechless and asked impatiently: "Do you want it or not?"
“Yes! Yes!”
Jia Yao nodded repeatedly and looked at Yun Zheng with a complicated expression: "Thank... Thank you!"
Your sister!
Whoever gives you milk is your mother, right?
"No thanks."
Yun Zheng looked at Jia Yao with amusement, "Stop showing your teeth to me and stop having evil thoughts. This is more true than anything else!"
Jia Yao's pretty face turned slightly red, and she said angrily: "Do you think I want to show my teeth to you? If you were in my position, you would probably want to tear me into pieces!"
"You sound like you don't want to cut me into pieces." Yun Zheng pouted, "My hand still hurts!"
As he spoke, Yun Zheng stretched out his hand again.
Thinking about the situation where Yun Zheng had been at a loss before, Jia Yao rarely showed a happy smile and joked: "Give me one more month's food, and I will massage you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zheng immediately complained with a dark face: "Do you think your hands are the hands of a fairy?"
Rub?
I really want to rub it for you!
