The three-day appointment with Tian Dan has passed!

Guan Zhong came to Tian Dan's camp again: "Three days have passed, Master Hou should have an answer in his heart, right?" ”

"I can help Xiaobai Gongzi deal with Qi Zhu, it's just that I want a promise from Xiaobai Gongzi, if I don't agree, then tomorrow I will attack this Mengyin!" Tian Dan said to Guan Zhong.

"Master Hou, please speak!" Guan Zhong stretched out his hand, wanting to hear what Tian Dan was asking for.

"After Xiaobai Gongzi sits in the position of the lord of Qi State, I hope that Jiaodong can be exempted from tribute for three years, and Qi State will give me a grain subsidy of one million catties per year in Jiaodong, for a total of three years!" Tian Dan said to Guan Zhong.

Guan Zhong was silent, one million catties of grain a year is nothing to the Qi State, the Qi State occupies Qingzhou, which is called one of the three major economic states in Kyushu, and can produce more than 10 million catties of grain every year, and it is not a problem to give Jiaodong one-tenth of the grain.

But Guan Zhong did not immediately agree, but said: "Three years of tax exemption is OK, but I think it is difficult to meet the wishes of the Hou Ye, the little white prince ascends to the public throne, and he must have a grand plan to dominate the industry, this hegemony must need soldiers, and if there are soldiers, he must need food, and he will also drive away the Yue country and the Yue country to fight, it will definitely destroy the people's dealers or something, and the annual output will definitely shrink greatly, and then there will be so much food for the Hou Ye?" Even if I agree now, wouldn't it be a lie to Master Hou if I can't do it then? ”

After listening to Guan Zhong's words, Tian Dan nodded, and some agreed, after Qi Xiaobai ascended the throne, he would have to go to war with the Yue Kingdom, and this war would require a lot of food, and after the war, he would have to use food to feed people and carry out construction, and the grain income in the first few years after the war would be greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, Tian Dan also felt that his request made Guan Zhong a little in danger, so he said: "Then it's good to be exempt from tribute for three years!" ”

The three-year exemption from tribute can allow the people of Jiaodong to leave a lot of grain in stock, which can be regarded as a welfare for the people of Jiaodong!

As a vassal state of Qi, the land of Jiaodong is to pay tribute to Qi every year, and this tribute is deducted from the people of Jiaodong, and Qi is not collecting tribute for three years, which is indeed a very good news for the people of Jiaodong, at least they will collect more grain every year than before, and the people's food will be more, and their lives will be improved, at least in three years.

This is also the sorrow of a small country, Jiaodong lives between Qi and Yue, he must choose a country to take refuge, although Qi destroyed the country and let them return to autonomy, but they and Qi can also be regarded as having a hatred of destroying the country, but it is the Yue country that makes Jiaodong like this.

At that time, Jiaodong was also a principality, with a vast territory, and Yue was only a small country in the south, but Yue produced a male lord and began the Northern Expedition, destroying the Wu State between Yue and Jiaodong, and then aimed at Jiaodong and started a war with Jiaodong for many years.

At the beginning of the war, Jiaodong was still good and fought back and forth with Yue, but with long-term attrition, Jiaodong was isolated, and because of the annexation of Wu, Jiaodong gradually absorbed the national strength of Wu, Jiaodong began to gradually go downhill, fighting, only Jiaodong City and a few surrounding pieces of land were left, Yue was fighting, Jiaodong was also destroyed, but at this time, the Qi State next to it suddenly launched a surprise attack, just one week, Jiaodong destroyed the country, and then the Qi State helped Jiaodong to restore the country and let them be autonomous, However, he had to pay tribute to the Qi State every year, and he has since belonged to the Qi State.

After belonging to the Qi State, although the Yue State wanted to eat the land of Jiaodong, after losing several wars with the Qi State, they did not think about this Jiaodong anymore, and the people of Jiaodong could live in peace from now on.

Guan Zhong discussed with Tian Dan, and finally set the agreement at three years of tribute-free, and the three-year Jiaodong tribute brought a strong ally to Qi Xiaobai, which was very worthwhile.

Both sides felt that the price paid by the other party was worth it, and the agreement was basically reached.

"Then I'll go and meet the little white boy!" Tian Dan said to Guan Zhong.

Guan Zhong nodded: "Well, just tell you about our plan!" ”

Guan Zhong took Tian Dan to Qi Xiaobai's camp, and Tian Dan saw Qi Xiaobai and immediately knelt on one knee on the ground: "Jiao Donghou, Tian Dan kneel for Xiaobai Gongzi!" ”

"Master Hou, please get up!" Qi Xiaobai hurriedly helped Tian Dan up, and Guan Zhong looked at Tian Dan: "From now on, we can be regarded as a family!" ”

Tian Dan nodded: "In the future, the little white boy will let me go to the east, and I will never go west, for the little white boy!" ”

"Jiaodonghou has this heart, my heart is very content!" Qi Xiaobai's performance skills are still good, he showed a touched face, and his eyes showed that excited look, as if he was really moved by Tian Dan.

Performance is the most basic technique of a king, Qi Xiaobai has seen it on TV before, and he is now playing on the spot.

And Guan Zhong was also stunned when he saw Qi Xiaobai's appearance, and he thought that Qi Xiaobai would become a hegemon in the future!

"Next, we have to discuss how to crusade against the faint monarchs!" Guan Zhong interrupted Qi Xiaobai and Tian Dan's past sympathy!

Guan Zhong nodded: "Zhongjun, please speak!" ”

Qi Xiaobai sat on a chair and looked at Guan Zhong: "Father, say it!" ”

"Bai'er, now you give the order to the major camps in Yanzhou to let them gather Yanzhou's reserves, and General Tian Dan, you are ready to let the soldiers recuperate well in Mengyin, and when the battle of Mount Tai is defeated, we will march!" Guan Zhong said to the two of them.

Qi Xiaobai nodded, and then looked at Guan Zhong: "Am I not a light pole commander?" My orders, will those generals in the Yanzhou camp listen? ”

"Little Bai Gongzi, you are the commander of Yanzhou, this is the title of Qi Zhu, although you don't have much military power, but this title, there is no problem for Yanzhou reserves to gather!" Guan Zhong said to Qi Xiaobai.

The reason why Qi Xiaobai's Yanzhou commander has no power is because the generals and elite standing troops in Yanzhou were all cultivated by Jiang Bi little by little, but they are not familiar with Jiang Bi in the reserves, they listen to the command of Qi Guogong and the command of Yanzhou Commander, Yanzhou Commander is a temporary title, a wartime title, but it is also the largest title of the Yanzhou Military Department.

When there is no war, the mobilization of reserves is to listen to the Duke of Qi, but during the Great Patriotic War, the reserves are to listen to the commander-in-chief!

Although Qi Xiaobai has no power in the Yanzhou Military Department, and the generals do not obey him, his title can really mobilize reserves.

Qi Zhu didn't think so much when he was named the commander of Yanzhou at that time, but he felt that giving Qi Xiaobai such a title would show his benevolence as an elder brother, and when Qi Xiaobai was killed by Yue Guo, he was also loyal to the country!

Of course, Qi Zhu couldn't have imagined that Qi Xiaobai would have the heart to assemble reserves.

After listening to Guan Zhong's words, Qi Xiaobai wrote a letter and asked the Yanzhou Reserve to assemble 300,000 troops!
