Chapter 1286: Troop Dispatch Agreement
"Emperor Nanli should know that now the world is in chaos, life is like a mustard, and prices are soaring, especially military supplies, which are completely priceless!"
As soon as Wu Xin's voice fell, Shu Emperor Liu Bei nodded sympathetically, responded with a wry smile on his face, and quickly continued:
"With the identity and power of the Second Emperor, you can know it after a little investigation. Now that the materials of all parties are strictly monitored, Dashu has already signaled a large number of reserve troops, and they are also suffering from no soldiers, no armor, and no cavalry......"
"Really?" asked Dugu Jialuo in a cold voice pretending to be disbelieving.
In fact, not only the eighteen prefectures of Xiangyang could not buy food materials, weapons and armor, war horses, etc., but also the Great Wei, Dashu, Dawu, Yuan, etc., could not buy what the other party was good at.
The four major forces of the Han Celestial Empire have their own characteristics.
The Great Wei Empire was adjacent to Beidi, either trading with Beidi, or going out to plunder, and there were many war horses and mounts, and animal husbandry was quite developed.
The Great Shu Dynasty is located in the west, encompassing the mountains of Bashu and adjacent to millions of mountains, so it is mainly based on food and materials, and there are many exotic beasts and spiritual plants.
The Great Wu Dynasty is located in the southeast, on the verge of the boundless ocean, mainly to eradicate weapons, the Great Wu Naval Division is the best in the world, and the battleships and ships it manufactures are the strongest in the Han Dynasty.
The Yuan family is a top wealthy family, the fourth world and the third duke, countless princes, and countless strange people, who are mainly based on exquisite armor, etc., and are also good at tricks, puppets, military equipment, and other industries that are more skillful.
Now that the troubled times have broken out, the forces of all parties naturally stick to their respective cores, how can they sell them to others?
In other words, they can't use it enough for themselves, how can they sell it, at most it is a barter transaction!
Nanli Emperor Wuxin said that they deliberately excluded and were suspected of jointly suppressing Xiangyang, and they were really wronged!
Liu Bei nodded solemnly and replied: "That's true! This emperor Chrysostom said in vain? During the Yellow Turban Storm, most of the agriculture was deserted, but countless refugees and displaced people were produced. It's not hard to investigate, hey......"
"The same is true of my Dawu, the Yellow Turban storm swept the world, countless technicians were killed, countless ships were destroyed, and there were sea beasts to make trouble, and now our dynasty is also in urgent need of weapons and warships to suppress the turmoil in various places, where is there any excess trafficking?"
Compared with Liu Bei, the bold and upright Sun Ce is much more credible.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also followed suit to explain and complain, they were also greatly affected by the Yellow Turban Storm, and they didn't have enough for themselves, who wanted to sell out?
Wu Xin waved his hand, and of course responded: "Since this is the case, then forget it! The war is together, the people and money are lost, and we are all powerless!"
Liu Bei frowned, stared at Wu Xin with anger, and said: "At this time of national disaster, no matter how hard and tired you are, you have to put the community first, and the common people are the first, how can you continue to let Dong thieves act recklessly, disrupt the court, and harm the common people?"
"Xiangyang is not as good as your forces, our army has just arrived, and it is difficult to even maintain basic food and clothing, how can we start a war? Do you let the soldiers go hungry and endure the wind and cold to fight?" Wu Xin asked unmoved.
"Nanli Huang's words are serious, right? No matter what, it won't make the soldiers hungry and clothed, right?" Yuan Shao said dissatisfied.
The fact is also the same, the Great Han Celestial Dynasty is the Gaowu Celestial Dynasty after all, and there are countless monks.
In the troubled times, the yellow scarves are raging, which is to make the world a mess and the people are not happy, but it is not as serious as Wu Xin said, the basic food and clothing are still no problem, and the monks' food and clothing are even more fine, that is, there are fewer spirit stones!
"Let's do it! The Second Emperor will send troops, and the food, materials and basic clothing needed by the army will be provided by us equally, how about it?"
Cao Cao was generous, waved his hand to stop the dissatisfied Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, looked at Wu Xin and Diao Chan, and asked generously.
Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Yuan Shao and their entourage, their faces changed slightly, but they were silent.
This is also a good thing to discuss before they arrived, and they expected that the second emperor of Xiangyang would ask for this.
Of course, in their hearts, it is much better to endure the pain and provide some food and materials than to let the eighteen mansions of Xiangyang sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the fishermen benefit.
An emperor who does not have a plan for a rainy day is not a qualified emperor!
Wu Xin shook his head slightly and asked, "What about the weapons and armor, the war horse elixir?"
"It's too much to leave the emperor, right?" Now even the bold Sun Ce was quite dissatisfied, and his sense of Wuxin plummeted!
The group of heroes to ask for Dong, that is for the sake of the common people, countless forces, countless catastrophes, countless people, work together, this is the obligation of any people of the Celestial Empire, Xiangyang has to enjoy the co-governance of the two emperors, and has many positions, and the consciousness of the common people is not high!
Today's Sun Ce is a little jealous of the Eighteen Mansions of Xiangyang, but he is not as scheming as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao, but he has been reminded a lot by the civil and military officials, and he is just a little guarded!
Of course, Sun Ce knew that Emperor Wuxin was not a member of the Han Heavenly Dynasty, so Wuxin was not so highly conscious and could barely understand, so he was willing to help provide some food and supplies.
But if Emperor Wuxin beats the snake with the stick and asks for more, then Sun Ce is a little difficult to accept, and he feels that he has mistaken Wuxin!
"Is it too much? The emperor doesn't think that who makes me inferior to you with a deep background, it's a helpless move!"
Wu Xin looked serious, calmly looked at Sun Ce and responded, and quickly continued: "Xiangyang is adjacent to Great Wu, and Emperor Wu can't say that he doesn't know the situation in Xiangyang. Now that our army has not even completely controlled Xiangyang, all industries are waiting to be developed, and the undercurrent is turbulent, it would be good for us to agree to the Northern Expedition, and the Northern Expedition will be carried out unconditionally, does Emperor Wu want to strangle us? Or do you want to calculate and harm us?"
"This ......"
Sun Ce is not a person who can speak well, so he couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
"Ming people don't say dark words, how can the second emperor be willing to send troops, just say it!"
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, stared at Wu Xin and Diao Chan with sharp eyes, asked bluntly, and reminded: "This is a move for the benefit of the common people, I hope the second emperor will not go too far!"
Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and Sun Ce, their faces changed greatly, and they stopped talking.
This time it's really a big change, it's not pretentious!
According to their previous discussion, that is, to provide basic food and materials to the Xiangyang Army, this is the bottom line, and it will be difficult to accept more!
They just don't want the Xiangyang Army to "benefit from the fishermen", and they don't have to let the Xiangyang Army participate in the war.
If the Xiangyang Army does not participate in this battle, they still want to destroy Dong Mo, and they will also destroy Xiangyang in the name of "Dong Thief's Party".
Wu Xin and Diao Chan glanced at each other, and looked at Dugu Jialuo in unison......
"Don't worry! We are not insatiable people who do not distinguish between right and wrong! Only four adults are needed to provide our army with a year's consumption of food and materials, as well as corresponding weapons, armor, war horses, pills, etc.!"
What conditions to propose, Wu Xin and the others have already discussed, and Dugu Jialuo quickly responded. After a pause, without waiting for everyone to say more, he quickly added:
"This is a major matter of the country, a move that benefits the country and the people! We will buy it at the market price, and we will not ask for it in vain, let alone ask for more or lower the price. Of course, this is also our bottom line, otherwise...... I can only apologize, I am indeed powerless!"
"Oh, how many troops will Xiangyang have?"
"Deal!"
