empire grow

Chapter 186

Come here with high spirits, but come back empty-handed!

If such a thing happened to him, I am afraid that the Vala country will not have a foothold by then.

This kind of thing must never happen to yourself, absolutely not.

Xu Li sorted out his thoughts, and then said with a smile on his face, "Everyone, can we still talk?"

However, as soon as his smile rose, Shu Shanhe said directly: "There is nothing to talk about. Our country can only provide so much help. It is impossible."

Just as Xu Li was about to speak, Huang Bin came over and said kindly: "Emissary Xu, you also know that the days of our Yanhuang Kingdom have not been very good, and there are wars everywhere. , to provide your country with excessive resource subsidies. As for the issue of territory, it is the heart disease of our Majesty. He will never allow the territory of his own country to appear incomplete. That is to say, if we dare to transfer several cities in the northwest If I give it to you, I’m afraid that even the country of Vala won’t dare to take it, don’t you think so?”

"That's what I said, but with this little material, I want His Majesty to devote all the power of the whole country to help your country resist the powerful Luan star. Isn't it a bit wishful thinking?" Xu Li said not very happy.

"Hmph, you really think of me as Yanhuang Kingdom, and I'm afraid that Luan Xing will fail." Yan Ming stomped his feet fiercely, and then said with a beard and eyes.

"You...reckless man." Xu Li held back for a long time before saying this.

However, he did not notice the communication between the eyes of Shu Shanhe and Huang Huan.In fact, everyone present, except those who are watching and talking about everything, and think that one is a reckless person, all of them have a good mind.The reason why they communicate like this is actually the singing tune of black and white faces.

This method has been around since ancient times. Although many people can see through it, sometimes this method is really attractive and people cannot help but accept it.

The current Xu Li fell into this kind of trap, not knowing what to do and who to trust.

To be a diplomatic envoy of a country, Xu Li naturally has a certain amount of mind, but unfortunately, his mind cannot be used in front of Shu Shanhe and the three of them.

"Okay!" Xu Li gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know how much food, grass and supplies your country can provide. I think you are veterans who have been fighting for a long time. You should know that a battle, especially a large-scale , the battle of thousands of people, once it happens, the battle is very terrifying, and the consumption is extremely serious. Under such circumstances, if the supplies are not available at all, then the loss is quite huge, so if there is not a sufficient amount, Then I cannot agree to your country's conditions."

In fact, when he said these words, Xu Li exposed a problem in a disguised form, that is, the bottom line of the Vala country.In fact, the emperor of the Vala Kingdom had already expected that the Yanhuang Kingdom would not be able to obey obediently, so he set three standards for Xu Li, one was the ownership of the three northwest cities.The second is the concession rights in the North.The third is material compensation.If any one of these three conditions is to be fulfilled, then it is considered as completing the task.

But as a diplomatic envoy, Xu Li knew very well that he needed to prove himself and win more benefits for Vala.Then the first condition is undoubtedly the best one for the Vala country.So from the very beginning, Xu Li made every effort to go to the three northwest cities, but unfortunately, Huang Yun didn't talk to him at all, and didn't give him a chance.Even under Huang Yun's coercion, the second clause was lost.As a result, he could only discuss the third item with Yanhuang, which was also the last item Xu Li wanted to complete.

"Yes, war consumption is very serious. Therefore, our country is willing to provide all the supplies and food consumed by your soldiers." Shu Shanhe took a fan and fanned the wind: "At the same time, our country is also willing to subsidize , your country has a thousand deniers of grain and grass, a thousand suits of armor, a hundred horses, and a lot of minerals."

"Really?" Xu Li's eyes brightened when he heard this condition.For a first-level dependent country, the material compensation conditions proposed by Shu Shanhe are indeed very good. For them, the above-mentioned materials are definitely not worse than the land control in the northwest. After all, the land there is very good. Barren, basically no plants and no income.

"Of course, what the Prime Minister said represents the Yanhuang Kingdom, and represents His Majesty's trust and appointment." Shu Shanhe stroked his beard with a smile, and when Xu Li was happy, he said again: "However, the specific facilities, Xu Envoy You have to discuss with Huang Bin, Master Huang, who is in charge of our logistics."

Xu Li turned around and looked at Huang Man next to him.

However, before he could speak, Huang Jin said first, "Master Prime Minister, you don't know. Recently, villains have raised food and grass everywhere and created a comfortable environment for the people, which consumes a lot of houses. Therefore, we The logistics department is also very short of supplies now!"

After finishing speaking, Huang Jin took out an account book from his pocket, put it where Xu Li could touch it, opened it bit by bit, and explained: "According to the statistics of my subordinates, we belong to the country at present, and all The amount of food, grass and supplies I have put together may not be the amount you said, Mr. Prime Minister! Moreover, the soldiers and citizens of our country also need to replenish their physical strength and eat. At that time, if all the supplies are sent to the country of Vala, I'm afraid that at that time, the soldiers of our country will not be able to go to the battlefield at all, and as soon as the people from Luan Star arrive, they will turn against each other directly."

"What!" Shu Shanhe was taken aback, then stood up directly, pointed to Huang Jin's nose and said, "How did you, the logistics minister, do it? How can you be a big vassal state with only such a little supplies."

While speaking, Shu Shanhe pulled out the saber from his waist with one hand, pointed at Huang Tan's head and said, "Today I swear to kill you."

Under Xu Li's surprised gaze, Shu Shanhe's long sword stabbed directly at Huang Bin.At first Xu Li also thought that the other party was acting, but when the other party's long sword was about to touch the yellow temples, Xu Li found that the other party seemed to be really angry, not acting.If it is true, then it can be seen that the other party seems to be seriously negotiating with himself.So Xu Li shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't get angry, what's the matter, can we all negotiate!"

"What Xu Envoy said is very good." At this time, Yan Ming, who was on the side, flew directly from the air, knocked the saber in Shu Shanhe's hand into the air with one punch, and then said sincerely: "I believe that Master Xu Li will definitely be here In front of His Majesty the Emperor of Vala, give us a few good words so that we can pay in installments, what do you think, Mr. Xu Li?"

"Uh... this!" Seeing Yan Ming's question, Xu Li stuttered.

"Damn it, little boy Huang Tan, if the Vala country doesn't send troops to help Yanhuang this time, you will be a sinner through the ages. If I don't leave any marks on you today, I, Shu Shanhe, will walk with my head upside down." Shu Shanhe violently He drank, and then threw the injured tea cup towards Huang Yan.

Seeing this scene, Xu Li frowned immediately. Fortunately, the teacup didn't hit the yellow hairpin, and deviated slightly from the track.But Xu Li discovered that Shu Shanhe still planned to continue throwing things and attack Huang Bin.So I thought to myself: just such a person can still be the prime minister of a country. He is simply a villain. The Yanhuang vassal state raises such a high-ranking and powerful person. I am afraid that it will be destroyed in a short time. There is no threat at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Li took another step forward and said, "Don't be impatient, my lords, we are talking."

"What are you talking about, isn't envoy Xu unwilling to accept payment in installments?" Shu Shanhe said with displeasure, staring at his eyes.

"Ahem... Let's talk, is everything easy to discuss?" Xu Li said.

In fact, Xu Li already planned to go to Huang Tan's mansion after today, to win him over and make plans for the future.So Xu Li didn't intend to continue entanglement here.

Hearing Xu Li's words, Shu Shanhe immediately said: "Well, since that's the case, then I'll just say it straight, since our country only has so many resources. Then in the early stage of the war, the cooperation between our two countries requires both sides to be responsible for the logistics .In the later period of the war, our country does not need to enjoy the material supplies from Luanxing Kingdom. Moreover, in the next few years, our country can compensate your country with one-tenth of the material supplies every year."

"The time is too long. I think Your Majesty, it is impossible to wait that long. What's more, if we want to participate in the war, we must bring a lot of food and grass. Otherwise, how can we enter the territory of the Yanhuang Kingdom to fight?" Xu Li asked.

"Envoy Xu, you can rest assured that our country will open a transportation line for your country. As long as your country takes this route, there will be no problems." Shu Shanhe said with a smile: "What's more, the arrival of Luan Xing this time, It must not last long, don't you think?"

"This...cough!" Xu Li didn't say much, but his performance made it clear.With Biyue participating in the battle, the troops of Luanxing will probably immediately withdraw to the territory of Luanxing's own country to defend. Otherwise, in the face of Biyue's attack, Luanxing will be captured by Biyue. The only thing left to do is to cry.

"But envoy Xu can rest assured that our country will never cause any losses to the Brotherhood Alliance." Shu Shanhe continued: "Therefore, in terms of compensation, our country can still make certain concessions. For example, payment in installments of ten years, Then we can give your country one more year of compensation as interest. I believe that with this interest, your country will not have some discordant problems due to long-term payment."

Sure enough, Xu Li's eyes lit up when he heard Shu Shanhe's supplementary conditions.
