Chapter 189: Negotiation

"Conditions?" Lin Yuyan pretended not to know and looked at the envoy of the Shouwang Army, who claimed to be the brother of Ma Liang, the military division of the Shouwang Army, named Ma Su.

Lin Yuyan shook his head with a smile, pretending not to know about Ma Su: "I don't know what King Shou said?" ”

Ma Su was not as sophisticated as his clan brother, and in the face of Lin Yuyan's words, he also thought for a long time before replying: "His Royal Highness Prince Qin...... It's not that King Shou doesn't know His Royal Highness's kindness at the beginning, but now that King Shou's army is in an emergency, King Shou wants to ask Prince Qin to advance some grain and grass for next year......"

"This ......" Lin Yuyan sat in front of the table, picked up a cup of tea, blew it and said, "This seems to be a little unruly...... And in the conditions I discussed with King Shou at the beginning, there doesn't seem to be such a ......"

Ma Su said urgently: "Please also ask Gongzi Qin to give King Shou some support for the matter of Xiangcheng!" ”

Lin Yuyan put the cup in his hand close to his lips and drank it slowly, making Ma Su's face more and more urgent, and after a few breaths, Lin Yuyan put down the cup and said, "This is the condition that Shouwang Huanyu promised to promise?" ”

Ma Su nodded, and said in an accentuated tone: "If Daqin is willing to give food, King Shou promises that he can knock down more than thirty cities in the south of Jiangxia and give them to His Highness!" ”

"More than thirty cities in the south of Jiangxia......" Lin Yuyan showed a sneering look, looked at Ma Su and said, "If I intend to seize Jiangxia...... Even the city in the south of Nanjun, why do you need King Shou to take it and give it to me? ”

Hearing this, Ma Su's expression tightened, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness Gongzi Qin would answer like this, originally he Ma Su came here, he was entrusted by his brother Ma Liang, to see if Qin Gongzi Yingyan had the intention of "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight" in order to "benefit the fisherman", so that Ma Su was a little unsure of His Royal Highness Qin Gongzi.

Lin Yuyan looked at Ma Su's slightly embarrassed expression, and slowly spoke: "Go back and tell King Shou, saying that Daqin doesn't have such great ambitions, it's okay to keep his own one-third of an acre......

Ma Su threw out the hole card, that is, to hand over the initiative of the conditions promised by Shouwang Huanyu to Lin Yuyan, and said: "Please also ask Your Highness to explain how to send food to Shouwang Jun!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Since King Shou said so, it seems that it has really reached the point where he has to ask for food, in this case, I hope that King Shou Huan Yu can beat Jingling down!" ”

"Jingling!" Ma Su didn't expect that Qin Gongzi's condition for winning Yan would be this, you must know that this tomb is the lair of the Northern King Miquan, as early as the last time it was attacked by the Qin army, the Northern King Miquan was carefully arranged around the Jingling, even now, the nearly ten cities captured by the Shouwang army are all far away from the Jingling.

Therefore, Ma Su asked puzzledly: "I don't know why His Royal Highness wants King Shou's army to capture Jingling!" ”

"Because this is a vital grain route!" Lin Yuyan's answer was a short sentence.

"Grain Road ......" Ma Su muttered two sentences, only to understand the meaning of Qin Gongzi Yingyan, the tomb is located on the south bank of the river, and it is not far from the confluence of the river and the river, here can advance or retreat, Nanjun, Jiangxia and Changsha are just a day's travel time, you can reach.

As for the grain road that Lin Yuyan said, it is precisely because he saw the geographical convenience of Jingling, and it is the main waterway connecting Jiangxia and Nanjun, so Ma Su said so.

"Does His Royal Highness Gongzi Qin want to be in the tomb?" Ma Su asked directly, this Qin Gongzi Ying Yan is really a little elusive, so Ma Su also had to ask directly.

"Definitely!" Lin Yuyan waved his hand and said, "Since Jingling was defeated by the army led by King Shou, Daqin naturally will not take the love of people, and Jingling is still under the jurisdiction of King Shou's army." ”

"So what does Your Highness want to do?!" Ma Su asked.

Lin Yuyan said: "The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, as long as King Shou attacks and defeats the tomb, Daqin can't do a business with King Shou Huanyu......"

"Business? The business is ......! Seeing that Qin Gongzi Ying Yan was having an attempt, Ma Su also calmed down, looked at Lin Yuyan, and asked precariously: "Your Highness, I don't know what kind of business it is?" ”

"Isn't Shou Wangjun short of food, my capital is food, as for what kind of goods Shou Wangjun can come up with, I don't know......"

Ma Su thought for a while and said, "The Shouwang Army has a large number of exquisite bronzes, which can be exchanged for food!" ”

"Bronze ......" Lin Yuyan shook his head and said, "In the troubled times, bronze is not valuable......

The implication is that you have to come up with something worth looking at.

Ma Su frowned, Qin Gongzi Yingyan's tone sounded not like a son, but a bargaining businessman: "Please also ask Gongzi to explain what you need......

This time it's smart...... 〗

Lin Yuyan nodded secretly and said, "Slave." ”

"Slave ......" Ma Su frowned, looked at Lin Yuyan and asked, "Your Highness wants a slave?" ”

Ma Su's tone made Lin Yuyan sound a little surprised, but Lin Yuyan still nodded directly and explained: "The slaves that Daqin wants are under the age of thirty, three stones of grain for young and strong, and one stone of grain for women and children, what is the price?" ”

"Three Stone Grain ......" Ma Su opened his mouth, this amount happened to be the settling-in allowance given by the soldiers levied by Jing State from the people, similar to the leather armor soldiers of the Northern Wangjun of Miquan, the settling-in fee is the three-stone grain, which is different from the Central Plains, which means that the three-stone grain sold his life to the Northern King Army, even if he dies in the future, the Northern King Army will not pay any compensation.

This is also the price on the surface, in fact, there are a lot of tooth decay in the Northern King Army, this standard three-stone grain, usually only one stone or even less reaches the soldier's home.

This can't be helped, even if the Northern Wangjun is not persecuted, most of these people will agree, after all, there are too many people in Jingdi, there are tens of millions of people, compared with it, the annual summer floods in the south are on the scale of thousands of miles of floods, even Yingdu, is often faced with the threat of the river bursting, and the daily production can not meet the needs of tens of millions of people in Jingguo.

With a large population and little food, it is natural that the food is expensive and the people are cheap!

These are all the drawbacks of the "Huang Lao's technique" in the old Chu State, otherwise Zhu Rong Tiangong would not have unveiled the uprising, and the responders gathered.

These thoughts were just for a moment, and Ma Su responded in one bite, as if he was afraid that Lin Yuyan would regret it: "The Shouwang army has captured thousands of soldiers and soldiers of the Northern King in these battles, and it is being solved in a worrying way, if His Royal Highness is interested, Su will return to the army to explain the matter to Shouwang and send the captives over in exchange for food as soon as possible!" ”
