poor family prodigal

"We'd better go to the city first."

"Confrontation is inevitable."

"It's just that we need to discuss with everyone how to fight..."

Wang Yuan patted Chai Jun on the shoulder and spoke with a smile.

Although Chai Jun is a little reckless and impulsive, this is his biological brother after all, and besides, Chai Jun is also thinking about himself.

It's also a good thing to have the ambition to charge into battle.

In the blink of an eye, everyone was already heading towards Yongzhou City.

...

At this moment, the Great Northern Dynasty.

Upon learning that Xiao Renwu was coming, Bai Qingcang met with him in person. At this moment, the two of them were in the imperial study.

Apart from the guards and maids, there was naturally no one else around.

As for the civil and military officials, naturally they were not summoned.

Xiao Renwu was just a prince, and his status was still far different from that of Bai Qingcang, so naturally there was no need to be too polite.

Solving it himself has already given him enough face.

"Your Majesty, I have taken the liberty to come here because of my mother's order, so I have no choice but to come and disturb Your Majesty."

As soon as he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Xiao Renwu held his fists and spoke.

It's neither humble nor arrogant.

Although there are three monarchs in the nine states in the world, the Bai Qingcang in front of him and Bai Yunfei of the Daye Dynasty together do not even have the lofty status of Wang Yuan, let alone Wang Yuan's popularity among the people.

Although the desolate land in the north is considered a small marginal country, it still has a sufficient status.

At least he can be on an equal footing with Bai Qingcang.

"You and I don't need to be so polite, just say what you have to say."

"Besides, since you came suddenly this time, you must have something important to discuss, right?"

Bai Qingcang quickly asked.

Even if Xiao Renwu didn't come to him, he still wanted to contact Xiao Chuchu.

Now he is already in dire straits, and all of this is because of the flood.

Although Wang Yuan and Bai Yunfei handled the sequelae of the flood very well, they also calmed the people's hearts.

But both of them have one thing in common, that is, they spent a lot of money.

That is definitely not a small amount of money!

Who is willing to spend so much money at this time?

Moreover, Kyushu is now unstable, and war may break out again at any time. At this time, it is necessary to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

In order to avoid being helpless when encountering an unexpected situation, resulting in the loss of the throne...

Perhaps because he has been emperor for a long time, Bai Qingcang has become more and more cautious.

But he has always understood one truth, that is, if he wants to keep his position, he must at least do one thing first, which is to have soldiers and money in his hands.

No matter at any time, he can be invincible.

Even if Wang Yuan wants to swallow him, it may not be that simple...

Xiao Renwu sat aside and said straight to the point: "Since Your Majesty has already said this, I will not continue to beat around the bush with Your Majesty."

"My mother-in-law's intention is to cooperate with His Majesty and deal with Wang Yuan together."

In an instant, Bai Qingcang fell into deep thought.

It was exactly what he expected.

Xiao Renwu's purpose of coming here this time is indeed for Wang Yuan.

It seems that Wang Yuan's existence has not only affected him and the Great Northern Dynasty, but has even affected Xiao Chuchu and the barren land in the north.

But it’s actually right to think about it. Although Xiao Chuchu’s roots are in the desolate land of the north, who doesn’t know her wolfish ambitions?

Xiao Chuchu naturally also wanted to annex Wang Yuan's territory.

Then he would move his army south and directly attack the Central Plains!

In this way, she will naturally be able to stabilize her position as the overlord.

And when that time comes, there will naturally be a competition between him and Xiao Chuchu, but that's all for another day.

Dealing with Xiao Chuchu is much easier than dealing with Wang Yuan.

Besides, Xiao Chuchu was of a foreign race after all. Compared with the two, the people of all nine states in the world were naturally more inclined to him.

Bai Qingcang also knew this very well.

However, now that I suddenly heard Xiao Renwu say this, I couldn't act too anxious, lest others see through my thoughts.

In this way, when the two parties cooperate, I will be led by others...

"Do you have any concerns?"

Xiao Renwu asked again.

Bai Qingcang couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time he slowly said: "Your Highness has come all the way, and you should have heard a lot of rumors along the way. Naturally, you all know about the flood that has just happened to all nine states in the world, right?"

Xiao Renwu nodded.

"In that case, have you ever thought about it, I don't even have money to control floods now, so how could I possibly use troops with Wang Yuan at this time?"

"Besides, I just suffered a loss not long ago..."

"I have even given Yongzhou to Wang Yuan, and my territory is also shrinking. If I continue to fight with Wang Yuan at this time, I am afraid that I will only suffer in the end..."

While talking, Bai Qingcang picked up the tea cup and couldn't help but take a sip of tea.

But from the beginning to the end, he was always observing Xiao Renwu's emotional changes and his facial expressions with his peripheral vision.

He had also heard about Xiao Renwu. He had already heard that Xiao Renwu was resourceful and resourceful. Although he was not a prince, he was one of the most capable princes under Xiao Chuchu.

He even won the respect of Xiao Chuchu.

This time, he came in person, which was enough to show how much Xiao Chuchu valued this matter.

It's a pity, so what if we pay attention to it?

You must get a bigger bargaining chip.

"I understand your Majesty's concerns."

"I also understand that His Majesty is indeed a little timid now."

"In the final analysis, all of this is the trouble Wang Yuan has brought to us."

"If we can solve Wang Yuan, wouldn't these troubles be put to rest?"

"The affairs of Jiuzhou in the world are inseparable from Wang Yuan. If Your Majesty is willing to join forces with us, as long as we can eat Wang Yuan, the remaining Bai Yunfei will be nothing."

"And by that time, won't all the cities and people under Wang Yuan's control, as well as the wealth under his control, go into His Majesty's pocket?"

"How good this deal is, Your Majesty, you don't need me to say more, right?"

In just one conversation, Xiao Renwu had already told Bai Qingcang all the pros and cons.

This is true.

As long as they can feed Wang Yuan, their status will also rise.

In addition, the Dabei Dynasty was adjacent to the two states where Wang Yuan was located, so the one who benefited the most was naturally Bai Qingcang.

In other words, the one with the greatest risk is Bai Qingcang...

Once this operation fails, Wang Yuan's anger will also be implicated in Bai Qingcang, and he will naturally be the first to be attacked!
