"The emperor is really a heroine among women, so he won't get drunk today. ”

That night, everyone drank until midnight, and when the spring was still in the early spring, no one felt cold.

Firewood was constantly added to the fire, the torches behind everyone were bright, and young men and women danced the prairie around the fire, singing inexplicable tunes.

Zhang Ling and the others had something in their hearts, but they couldn't show it, they just sat patiently in the seat behind Sister Yan to drink together.

People on the grassland rarely see Central Plains people, it is rare to see such a white and elegant Central Plains people, they are inevitably curious, some grassland girls come over with wine jugs from time to time to add wine, different from the shyness of Central Plains women.

Everyone gradually blended into the atmosphere of the grassland.

Sister Yan has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and there are friends like Hezhou who are addicted to alcohol, so the amount of alcohol is naturally very strong, and seeing everyone bold, the mood is a little relaxed.

The wine was half-drunk, a leader half-squinted his eyes, holding a woman in his arms, as if he had no intention of saying, "I have long heard that the emperor kills people without blinking, and his prestige can stop children from crying, but when I see it today, it is really extraordinary, haha——"

Sister Yan played with the empty wine bowl in her hand, and when she heard this, the corners of her mouth raised, and she said briskly, "The leader is really good at joking, isn't it that the leader closes his eyes when he kills?"

Everyone was stunned, and the leader was even more speechless, he wanted to sarcastically mock this woman, but she made fun of her.

However, he was also shaken by the emperor's smile.

Seeing that the leader was speechless, Grancy burst out laughing, and everyone laughed along.

Seeing this, Gran Wang relieved the siege and said, "Didn't the leader of Meng Huo dare to look at it when he killed people, this is not like my grassland warriors, and I didn't do three bowls to prove that our grassland warriors are not cowards." ”

The leader of Meng Huo raised the wine jar on the side and drank it in one go, "I'm not a coward. ”

Everyone laughed again.

He bowed his hand to his sister again, "It's me who said the wrong thing, you shouldn't look down on women, and please don't take the emperor to heart." ”

Zhang Ling and the others said that they can be the leader of a tribe, each of them is not an ordinary person, this person seems to be reckless, but there is no temptation between words, and he knows how to advance and retreat, it seems that these people are not easy to get along with.

Behind the joy, there is a sword and a sword.

Seeing that Xie Jieyan had arrived, the envoys of the Jin State had little hope of winning over the various tribes of the grassland, so they decided to assassinate the leaders of the grassland tribes when they met, stirring up the contradiction between the Chu State and the grassland, and then the Jin State took advantage of the situation again.

Sister Yan had expected that someone would wreak havoc, leaving the dark guards lurking in all corners, staring at every detail of the banquet.

One night, some people wanted to poison the wine and food, and some people wanted to hurt people with secret arrows, but they were all quietly solved by the secret guards.

By the time everyone dispersed, most of them were already drunk, and their faces were a little drunk, but they also supported the table with their hands, making themselves drunk.

There was no turmoil overnight, but Sister Yan's subordinates arrested a lot of people.

Zhang Ling and the others had the heart to keep their sanity, so they didn't drink much.

Although he guessed who the person behind it was, he still needed to interrogate Sister Yan and Zhang Ling, so he asked a few of them to interrogate them with Seventeen.

Early the next morning, the leaders of the tribes gathered in the main camp of the Great Hope Road, as if they were not the ones who had drunk so much last night.

Sister Yan was still sitting in the guest seat under Gran Wang.

The tall and strong leader of Meng Huo looked serious and serious at this time, "What is the matter with the invitation of the chief of Gran to come here, we can talk about it now." ”

Glenwang raised his hand and had hot goat's milk brought in.

After everyone who had nothing to do with them went out, Gran Wangcai said, "Everyone also knows that my Gran tribe has a distinguished guest, and everyone should know the status of the emperor of the Chu State, and you should also have some guesses about her intentions, as everyone thinks, she is here to prevent the grassland and the Jin State from reaching an agreement on borrowing the road." ”

A leader of the black Zhuang said, "The emperor of the Chu State has a high status, but this is the grassland, and it is not the boundary of the Chu State, and it is not up to the Chu State to decide. ”

"That's right, when the emperor comes to the grassland, we will naturally treat him well, but for other things, the grassland departments have their own agreements. ”

There are not a few stupid people here, and all of them have more than one heart.

If the state of Chu wants to stop the grassland forces, or if it wants to win them over, it must put forward more attractive conditions, rather than intimidation by virtue of the prestige of the so-called emperor.

They don't want to talk about anything else with the grassland, but they just want more benefits.

And if the two countries compete, they can get greater benefits from it, and want to get benefits from the two countries, which is the reason why they don't give a clear answer to the Jin State, and even if the news is revealed, they are also calculating, these people seem to have no scheming, but they will actually plan very much.

And the crown prince and sister Yan had long considered people's greed, so they directly proposed a plan that they could not refuse, this plan would be beneficial to both countries, and it would work well in the future, and even let the grassland slowly become a vassal of the Chu State, and no longer let them pose a threat to the Chu State.

But naturally, these leaders will not be told.

Sister Yan waited for each of them to express their views, and then spoke, "You are all the leaders of a tribe, you have to consider the survival of a tribe, we will naturally not embarrass you, the Jin State wants to attack my Chu State by borrowing the road from the grassland, no matter how tempting the conditions they put forward, you are all seeking skin with the tiger, borrowing the Tao, it is based on their conscience, as we all know, the people of the Jin State have always only considered their own interests, not caring about conscience, so you have been dragging it out, and did not agree to their conditions, isn't it." ”

The words can be regarded as breaking the camouflage of the leaders of the steppe tribes, but they save face.

Sister Yan looked at their expressions, and the leaders made eye contact very lively, and then said, "Everyone knows that I, Sister Xie, don't like to drag mud and water, and the conditions I put forward are naturally the most suitable conditions after consideration, and there is no room for bargaining." ”

As he spoke, raising his hand, Zhang Ling and two officials from the Ministry of Industry stepped forward with their things.

Zhang Ling has now faintly become the leader of the students of Guozijian, he always speaks in everything, he took out the map and spread it on the table in the middle,

Sister Yan's name is there, her attitude will naturally affect the attitude of the leaders, seeing her tough attitude, the momentum of the leaders is naturally weaker, and seeing that Zhang Ling is faintly Sister Yan's henchman, she will give him a little more face.

The map was spread out, the leaders spontaneously moved closer together, and Gran Wang, knowing their plans, sat down in his seat.

Zhang Ling had already made preparations, so he seemed very unhurried, "Chu is willing to help the grassland, build a tributary from the Luo River, and introduce the Niuyang River, as long as there is enough water flow, the tributaries of the Niuyang River can also maintain water all year round, so that the grassland will no longer rely on the sky for food." ”

They guessed that the state of Chu might send money and grain to the grassland, and the conditions given by the state of Jin were enough for the entire grassland to be enough for five years' grain and salt, and they also promised to distribute the Lincheng near the grassland of the state of Chu to the grassland.

However, they made heavy profits, so they naturally wanted a greater return, and if they gave the grassland a city, they would want more cities, and when they occupied the city of Chu and wrapped the grassland in the middle, couldn't they have other thoughts.

Now that the state of Chu is sending self-sufficiency, and depending on the situation, there is no need for the state of Chu to borrow troops to attack the state of Jin, so in this comparison, it is more reliable for the state of Chu.

The leader of Meng Shu asked, "What about the Chu State wanting the grassland?"

Zhang Ling said, "The state of Chu wants the grassland to firmly maintain its original position, not to participate in the struggle of various countries, and not to allow the armies of the five countries to enter the land of the grassland, just like an insurmountable mountain, continue to stand between the state of Chu and the state of Jin, if there is any change in the state of Jin, the grassland will notify the state of Chu as soon as possible." ”

As soon as these words came out, the leaders could no longer hold back and began to whisper, obviously this condition was not expected by them.

In fact, the state of Chu does not want an ally that has been bought, but needs a "natural risk" between the state of Chu and the state of Jin.

Sister Yan took a sip of the teacup, the goat's milk was mixed with the fragrance of tea, and she knew in her heart that this was prepared by Gran Xi, she knew that she was a little unaccustomed to the taste of goat's milk, so she used the precious tea sent by the Central Plains to blend and neutralize the greasy goat's milk.

When she looked up, she was looking at herself, looking at her with a look of praise on her face, and her sister smiled back.

After drinking half a cup of milk tea, the various departments of the grassland have already made a choice, because the gap between them can be seen by a discerning person, and it is impossible for the Jin Kingdom to put forward more attractive conditions.

No wonder the emperor was so confident that there was no room for bargaining on this condition.

Zhang Ling and the others saw everyone's reaction, but they didn't expect it to be so smooth, and the original expectation that someone would oppose it did not appear at all.

Sister Yan also took the students' expressions into her eyes, these seniors grew up in the prosperous era of Chu State, even if they read a lot of books, they have not really seen people's struggle for survival, so they don't understand what kind of life-saving straw Chu State thrown.

Most of these tribal leaders are far-reaching for the people, and it is good that this method can make the grassland no longer plagued by famine not proposed, once it is proposed, it will take root in people's hearts, and I can't help but think about it.

Sister Yan said, "The State of Chu can provide skilled craftsmen to supervise the construction by officials of the Ministry of Industry, and it can also provide thirty percent of the cost, but there is one condition." ”

Everyone was first shocked, then happy, and hurriedly asked, "What conditions?"

"After the Niuyang River and the Luo River were opened, a waterway was opened, and the grassland gave priority to exchanging resources with the Chu State. ”

There are a lot of resources on the grassland, but they don't know how to mine and forge them, and they don't want other forces to intervene, so they just inadvertently mine some gem mines.

And with the strength of the grassland, the finance required to dig a tributary with a huge amount of water is a huge burden, and the Chu State proposed to share thirty percent, which they could not refuse.

As for manpower, the grassland can still solve it by itself, and the craftsmen who know how to do it, they can't do it.

Chu Guo was far-sighted to this point, and they couldn't help but not agree.
