"Emperor Nanli should know that the world is in chaos now, lives are on the line, and prices are soaring, especially military supplies, which are completely priceless and unmarketable!"
As soon as Wu Xin finished speaking, Shu Emperor Liu Bei nodded with deep sympathy, responded with a wry smile on his face, and then quickly continued:
"Given the identity and power of the Second Emperor, we can find out after a little investigation. Nowadays, the supplies of all parties are strictly monitored, and Shu has already signaled a large number of reserve troops. It is also suffering from the lack of soldiers, armor and cavalry..."
"Really?" Dugu Jialuo asked coldly, feigning disbelief.
This is indeed the case. Not only are the Eighteen Prefectures in Xiangyang unable to buy food supplies, weapons and armor, war horses and mounts, etc., the Wei, Shu, Wu, Yuan, etc. are also unable to buy things that the other party is good at.
The four major powers of the Han Dynasty each had their own characteristics.
The Wei Empire was adjacent to Beidi. It either traded with Beidi or went out to plunder. It had many war horses and mounts, and its animal husbandry was quite developed.
The Great Shu Dynasty was located in the west, encompassing the Bashu Mountains and adjacent to the Million Mountains. It mainly focused on food and supplies, and there were many exotic animals and spiritual plants.
The Wu Dynasty was located in the southeast, close to the boundless ocean. It mainly focused on eradicating weapons. The Wu Navy was the best in the world. The warships and ships it built were the most powerful in the Han Dynasty.
The Yuan family is a top-notch wealthy family with four generations and three princes, numerous princes, and has recruited countless strange people. They mainly specialize in exquisite armors, etc., and are also good at mechanical arts, puppetry, military equipment and other more technical industries.
Now that troubled times are breaking out, all parties will naturally stick to their respective cores. How can they sell it to others?
In other words, they don’t think it’s enough for their own use, so how can they sell it? At best, it’s a barter transaction!
Emperor Wu Xin of Nanli said that they intentionally excluded and were suspected of jointly suppressing Xiangyang. They were really wronged!
Liu Bei nodded solemnly and responded: "That's true! How can I be lying when I speak so eloquently? During the Yellow Turban Storm, most of the agricultural industry was abandoned, but it produced countless refugees, refugees, etc. Now our dynasty is also suffering from lack of food, and disaster relief has been provided in several places.
It has been reduced from twice a day to once a day; from rice to rice porridge. These are not difficult to investigate, hey..."
"The same is true for me, Wu. The Yellow Turban storm has swept across the world, countless craftsmen have been killed, countless ships have been destroyed, and sea beasts have caused chaos. Now our government is in urgent need of weapons and warships to suppress unrest in various places. Where can we find any surplus for sale?"
Compared with Liu Bei, Sun Ce, who is forthright and straightforward, has much higher credibility.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also explained and complained that they were also greatly affected by the Yellow Turban Storm. They didn't have enough for themselves, so who would want to sell it out?
Wu Xin waved his hand and responded naturally: "In that case, let's forget it! The war is going on and the people and money are wasted. We are all helpless!"
Liu Bei furrowed his brows, stared at Wu Xin with anger, and shouted: "At this time of national crisis, no matter how hard it is, we must put the country first and the common people first. How can we continue to let Dong's thieves do whatever they want, bring trouble to the court, and harm the common people?"
"
"Xiangyang is not as powerful as you. Our army has just arrived and is in need of help. It is difficult to even maintain basic food and clothing. How can we start a war? Are we going to let the soldiers go hungry and fight in the cold?" Wu Xin asked unmoved.
"Isn't Emperor Nanli's words serious? No matter what, it won't make the soldiers hungry and naked, right?" Yuan Shao said with dissatisfaction.
This is also true. After all, the Han Dynasty was a highly martial dynasty with countless monks.
In troubled times, the Yellow Turbans are raging, causing the world to be in chaos and the people to live in dire straits, but it is not as serious as Wu Xin said. Basic food and clothing are still no problem, and the food and clothing of the monks are even less problem, that is, there are fewer spiritual stones!
"Let's do this! When the Second Emperor sends out troops, the food supplies and basic clothing needed by the army will be provided equally by us. How about that?"
Cao Cao was generous. He waved his hand to stop the dissatisfied Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, looked at Wu Xin and Diao Chan, and asked generously.
The faces of Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Yuan Shao and their entourage changed slightly, but they remained silent in tacit understanding.
This was something they had discussed before they arrived, and they even expected that the Second Emperor of Xiangyang would ask for it.
Of course, in their minds, it is much better to reluctantly provide some food and supplies than to let the Eighteen Palaces of Xiangyang sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and the fishermen will benefit.
An emperor who does not plan for a rainy day is not a qualified emperor!
Wu Xin shook his head slightly and asked: "Where are the weapons, armor, and war riding elixirs?"
"Is it too much to leave the emperor?" Now even the generous Sun Ce was quite dissatisfied, and his sense of Wu Xin plummeted!
When heroes fight against Dong, it is for the sake of the common people and the country. Countless forces, countless catastrophes, and countless people work together. This is the obligation that any citizen of the celestial dynasty should fulfill. Xiangyang can enjoy the co-governance of two emperors and hold multiple positions.
It’s not as enlightened as the common people!
Today, Sun Ce is a little afraid of the Eighteen Palaces in Xiangyang, but he is not as scheming as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao. He is just reminded too much by civil and military officials, so he is a little on guard!
Of course, Sun Ce knew that Li Huang Wu Xin was not from the Han Dynasty, so Wu Xin was not that high-minded and could barely understand, so he was willing to help provide some food supplies.
But when Li Huang Wuxin beat the snake and followed the stick, he asked for more, which was a bit difficult for Sun Ce to accept. He felt that he had misjudged Wu Xin!
"Is it too much? I don't think it's too much, I don't think, who makes me inferior to you in terms of profound knowledge? It's a helpless move!"
Wu Xin looked serious, looked at Sun Ce calmly and responded, and then quickly added: "Xiangyang is adjacent to Wu, and Emperor Wu can't say he doesn't know the situation in Xiangyang. Now our army doesn't even have complete control over Xiangyang, and hundreds of industries are waiting to be prospered, and there are turbulent undercurrents.
It would be great if we can agree to the Northern Expedition. By launching the Northern Expedition without any conditions, does Emperor Wu want to strangle us? Or does he want to plot to harm us?"
"this……"
Sun Ce was not an eloquent person, so he couldn't help but be speechless.
"If the people of the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets, let's just tell them how the Second Emperor is willing to send troops!"
Cao Cao frowned and thought for a moment, stared at Wu Xin and Diao Chan with sharp eyes, asked bluntly, and reminded: "This is an act to benefit the common people. I hope the Second Emperor will not go too far!"
Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and Sun Ce's expressions changed greatly, and they stopped talking.
This time my face really changed, and it was not an act!
According to their previous discussion, they provided basic food supplies to the Xiangyang Army. This was the bottom line. Any more would be unacceptable!
They just don't want the Xiangyang Army to "get a profit", and they don't have to force the Xiangyang Army to participate in the war.
If the Xiangyang army does not participate in this battle, they still want to destroy Dong Mo, and then they will destroy Xiangyang in the name of "Dong's thief associates".
Wu Xin and Diao Chan looked at each other, then both looked at Dugu Jialuo...
"Don't worry! We are not insatiable and greedy people! We only need four adults who can provide our army with food and supplies for one year, as well as the corresponding weapons, armor, battle cavalry, elixirs, etc. That's all!
"
Wu Xin and others had already discussed what conditions they proposed, and Dugu Jialuo responded quickly and knowingly. After a pause, he quickly added without waiting for anyone to say more:
"This is a major national event and an act that benefits the country and the people! We will buy at the market price and will not ask for nothing, let alone ask for more or lower the price. Of course, this is also our bottom line, otherwise... we can only apologize.
