"That's right, we have more and more people on our territory right now. The war on the Western Front has not yet ended, and the military rations at this time still have to be given priority to supply our own internal consumption, where is the energy to continue to sell to the outside world? You're doing the right thing, but there's one more thing you night owls need to run. After listening to Qiu Niang's words, Li Wenyuan nodded earnestly and said to Qiu Niang.

"What's the matter? The last time you showed such an expression, you stuffed such a huge organization of night stalkers into my hands, and you didn't even leave me the right to refuse. With this look on your face this time, are you trying to give me some trouble? Speak, my lord. After Qiu Niang saw Li Wenyuan's expression, she stretched her waist and asked Li Wenyuan a little lazily.

"Qiu Niang, since Yu Wenhua has launched a palace change, then he must stand up as the leader of one party's forces. Therefore, our prisoner of war sales point also needs to set up a place in Jiangdu, right? After asking, Li Wenyuan saw Qiu Niang nodding, and continued: "This time, we will talk to Yu Wenhua directly, we are willing to redeem the family members left by Empress Xiao and Yang Guang, anyway, they are all female dependents, and it is useless to stay in his hands at this time." As for our bid, Hu Bing, military rations, weapons, and war horses he can choose at will, in short, we must redeem Queen Xiao together. ”

"It is said that Empress Xiao is a peerless beauty, but what did the manager do with this move?" After listening to Li Wenyuan's words, Qiu Niang said with some yin and yang weirdness.

"Where do you have any thoughts, if you only welcome Yang Qi as the emperor, the common people can see my thoughts, but it is better to welcome Empress Xiao back and let her listen to the government. When the time comes, it won't be slandered by others. After listening to Qiu Niang's somewhat vinegar words, Li Wenyuan said to Qiu Niang with a smile.

"Then aren't you afraid that Empress Xiao will empty your real power and restrain you everywhere?"

"Afraid of what? The democratic process in the eight counties of the Western Regions is almost complete. Even if she comes, how many of the people and officials who have already tasted the sweetness of democracy will continue to buy her account? At this time, it was just that the status of the emperor was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people, so no matter how enlightened and democratic the political environment was, they still needed an emperor in their hearts, even if it was an emperor who could only act as a mascot. By the way, speaking of which, Yang Guang is already dead anyway, so when we talk about this deal, let's redeem Yang Guang's remains by the way. In any case, I am able to have today's status thanks to his promotion, and I don't want to be left behind in the mouth of the world and even in the history of the wild to cross the river and tear down the bridge. Li Wenyuan sighed and slowly said his thoughts.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Even in ancient times when transportation was so backward, the news of Yang Guang's death swept across the entire Central Plains in a very short period of time. After learning the news of Yang Guang's death, the local forces that were already a little ready to move could no longer hold back the ambition in their hearts, and at this time they jumped out one after another, established themselves as kings, and recruited troops. The entire Central Plains fell into an unprecedentedly chaotic situation for a while, and Li Wenyuan had no better way to solve this situation. After all, he is also a human being, not a fairy saint, all he can do is to save as many Han people as possible. However, it is impossible to cover everything under the limitation of financial resources, and Li Wenyuan can only choose to do his best now, and he can have a clear conscience when he thinks about this matter in the future.

"I want 10,000 Hu soldiers, as well as the war horses that these 10,000 Hu soldiers need and the horses to replace. The corresponding configuration of these Hu soldiers must also be fully equipped, and at the same time, they must be prepared with food for half a year, if you can agree and do these things, then I will hand over the remains of Empress Xiao and Yang Guang to you. At this time, Yu Wenhua, who was sitting on the throne of Yang Guangjiang's Imperial Palace, looked at the night owl standing in the palace, and said to him.

"Let me confirm the conditions put forward by the general: 10,000 Hu soldiers and the war horses they need, and attack 15,000 horses, which include the horses to be replaced. In addition to this, there are the soldiers who are fully armed with weapons and their food consumption during this half year. That's your bid, right, General? After listening to Yu Wenhua's words, the night owl nodded and confirmed his request.

"That's right, that's it. But I will wait until all these things are in place before I will return Queen Xiao and them to you, after all, it is the first time we have cooperated, and I am not very confident in your sincerity. Yu Wenhua nodded, and after confirming that it was correct, he smiled at the night owl.

"No problem, General, in a month's time, these supplies will be placed in front of you. When the time comes, we will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. After the night owl finished speaking, he bowed to Yu Wenhua and Shen, and then left the Jiangdu Palace, and sent the terms of negotiation with Yu Wenhua back to Dunhuang County in the Western Regions through Xinying.

There is Li Wenyuan's order to do this at all costs, and the Yu culture and the required things will be gathered quickly. It then passed through the Longxi County under the control of Xue Ju, loaded the ship, entered the Yellow River from Weishui, and then continued eastward to the Tongjiqu Grand Canal, and finally went south to Jiangdu, the whole process will take a month. The banner on the entire fleet is a brocade flag on a white background, embroidered with a golden wolf's head, and at the same time blood dripping downward in the wolf's eyes, all the forces in the Central Plains have known that this is the symbol of the Hu Bing Trading Company under the control of Li Wenyuan. So along the way, the green light was given to this fleet, so that this fleet came to Jiangdu without the slightest hindrance. After all, they sometimes had to buy Hu soldiers from this trading house to enrich the combat effectiveness of their army. So at this time, I don't want to get too stiff with this trading house, after all, it is a trading house that can defeat the Hu people and sell these Hu people as slaves, no one knows how powerful this trading house is, at least it is much stronger than dealing with the Hu people.

After Yu Wenhua accepted these things, he also had a new understanding of the strength of this trading house, and dispelled his original plan to eat black. The remains of Empress Xiao and Yang Guang were delivered to the fleet of the trading house very happily, and under the happy cooperation of the two sides, no one noticed an additional inconspicuous wooden box, which was carried onto the fleet by the coolie laborers, and slowly went upriver in the direction of Longxi County as the fleet left Jiangdu County.
