In the wilderness near Cangshan County, tents were set up, and a firewood pile was burning in the open space in the middle, and many busy figures shuttled among the tents.

By this time night had fallen, and the heavens and the earth had darkened, and some stars were twinkling in the night sky.

There were seven or eight people sitting in the largest tent in the camp, as if discussing something important, and the atmosphere could not help but exude a sense of solemnity and solemnity.

After a short period of silence, King An said loudly, "Okay, I agreed, Lord Xiao Song is so generous, then I will naturally not be too stingy as a prince." ”

After negotiating for more than half an hour, today's meeting finally came to a satisfactory conclusion, and it was said that this matter had no impact on him, let alone any loss.

Nowadays, the benefits of being sent to the door for free, how can there be a reason to reject it.

Don't think that he is a prince with a fiefdom, and he has endless wealth, then he is wrong, the higher the status of the person, the greater the cost, especially as a royal child, after all, he has to raise a lot of people under his hands, and everything cannot be done without silver.

In addition, the fief given to him by the first emperor was not the richest, and it was a little better than the land of the Southern Barbarians, so the income he enjoyed was not high at all, and most of them were given to him by the people below.

But he wants to make a plan, and he is still looking for the most noble seat in the world, and the great cause he wants to achieve is destined to need a steady stream of money to back it up, otherwise how can such a large team be supported?

Not to mention how much money the group of literati and strategists he raised under his hands cost, just the grain and grass for marching and fighting is a bottomless pit, burning money every day.

If he hadn't privately found a few wealthy merchants and promised them a bright future, I'm afraid his army wouldn't have been able to beat the capital.

Even if it was just a short time after the uprising and the war began, he was still worried about the food and grass problem in the later stage, but he didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected joy now, and he would of course accept it gladly without affecting his plan.

What's more important is that the person who came to deliver the supplies was still the Song family that he had always admired in his heart.

As for Lord Xiao Song's request that no war should be waged in places where there are ordinary people? In fact, it is not a problem for him at all, besides, the Song family is still willing to take out a batch of materials in exchange, what else is he unhappy about?

Speaking of which, this matter is also very beneficial to his image as King An.

After all, where is it not to fight with the Rong army?

But because King Ta'an loved the people and did not want to affect the innocent people, he led the troops to lure the Rong army away from the people's living areas.

How touching and fame is such a move?

The reason why they released the news that they were going to attack foreign enemies was to gain the hearts of the people, and to make their rebellious team have a more upright name.

They are fighting for the safety of the people, compared to the inaction of the imperial court, isn't his Chu Shengjin's actions more responsible and responsible for the royal people?

When such a thing spreads, who doesn't praise him for loving the people like a son?

Maybe he can also use this to gain a wave of fame among the people, which can also lay a good foundation for the great cause he wants to achieve in the future.

If someone else made such a request, he might just ignore it, or even sneer at it, he is a dignified King An, how can he fight a war and still need an outsider to make a request?

Isn't this a proper challenge to his prestige as a royal prince?

But Lord Xiao Song is different, he is still a little jealous of their family in his heart, worried that if they are offended or forced to be in a hurry, they will do something that hinders their plans.

After all, if the Song family rebels and revolts, it will have more advantages than themselves, and I am afraid that it will show a side to the Song family army in the hearts of the people, right?

In addition, he has always suspected in his heart that the Song family still has hole cards, and now that they have not revealed it, it is estimated that because their family is fine, they are unwilling to participate in the battle for power for the time being.

Don't think that the Song family, who was exiled to the Southern Barbarians, really became a waste.

He didn't believe that the Song family, who once held a lot of power, didn't leave a way back, and sure enough, the conjecture in his heart was right, and the tail of the Song family was exposed.

How long has their family been in exile? Or in Nanban, a poor place where you can't even afford to grow land, how can you come up with such a batch of materials to negotiate with yourself?

And he can send a batch of supplies so easily, just to keep his army from going to war within the boundaries of Cangshan County, which shows that this amount of supplies is nothing to them at all.

That's interesting!

"Thank you King An for your compassion, I hope that the prince can win this battle and get what he wants!" Song Shaoqin stood up and arched his hand.

"Hahaha~ Then borrow the auspicious words of Lord Xiao Song." King An immediately laughed heartily, he loved to listen to these words, and he also hoped that this battle could win the Rong army in one fell swoop and completely start his reputation as King An.

After sending off King An and his party, Song Shaoqin put away the smile on his face, and took a sip of the teacup casually.

"How's it going? Shaoqin, what did King An say? ”

Seeing King An and his entourage leaving, Song Anbang couldn't help but come over, although he was also the team leader on this outing, his identity was always a problem, and he couldn't let people use this to play and seize the handle.

Although King An may have guessed in his heart that he fled to Baiyun Village with his father and uncle, so what? As long as you don't see people in person, it's not a fact.

If there is no clear evidence, their Song family will not admit it.

This is also the reason why several of them try not to go out, even if they go out of the village, they must avoid people who know them as much as possible.

Song Shaoqin said slowly, "He is naturally happy, what we are sending is real food, this matter is only good for him, there is no harm, he can't refuse." ”

The condition of his negotiation with King An this time was that their Song family would provide them with 2,000 catties of staple food free of charge, of course, he couldn't be stupid enough to give them rice and white noodles directly, but 2,000 catties of potatoes.

After all, their village began to plant a crop of potatoes a few years ago, and it was all the village's grain stockpile, of course he also knew that King An would definitely have doubts in his heart, but at least on the surface, their excuse was reasonable, anyway, King An didn't know how many potatoes their village had received.

This is their biggest concession and mercy, except for potatoes, they do not plan to provide other supplies to King An's army, the reason why this time is so 'generous', in addition to protecting the peace of the people, they also sincerely hope that King An can drive the Rong army out of the territory of Eastern Chu.

Compared with their disgust for the Eastern Chu Dynasty, they hated the Rong people who invaded their own land even more!
