Chapter 413
Long Tian's words couldn't be clearer. If you want those tens of millions of refugees and want to explore the secrets of the Ten Thousand Mountains, then use the army in exchange.
After Long Tian said this, everyone was silent. They couldn't figure out whether Long Tian had a sudden idea or had prepared in advance. The reason why he collected refugees was for this moment.
"Long Tian, how many troops do you need to go to the chaotic area?"
The Emperor of Qi asked.
The number of troops determines whether they are worth making this deal.
"Your Majesty, you know the situation in the chaotic zone better than I do. I don't know much about it, but it is said that the battle is fierce and both sides suffer countless casualties every day."
"You have also seen my situation. It is difficult to achieve anything without soldiers."
"For Qi and the millions of people in Liyang Dynasty, I am willing to do my best. I also ask Your Majesty to support the army. As for the number of people, the more the better."
"But I also know the difficulties of Qi. The territory is vast, and I dare not ask for too much. How about asking Your Majesty to support my million troops?"
Long Tian went around and spit out a number.
A million troops is not a lot, but it is definitely not a small number.
Even though Qi is in a war zone and has a large number of standing troops, it cannot send out a million troops casually.
The Emperor of Qi did not speak, but secretly thought about Long Tian's purpose.
As soon as this guy arrived in Qi, he brought up the refugee issue. Was there some other hidden reason, or had he already planned this day, with the goal of Qi's million-strong army?
The Emperor of Qi was worried that Long Tian would set a trap for him.
Although Long Tian did not say it clearly, the million-strong army that he wanted could not be formed by ordinary people, which would be tantamount to sending himself to death.
Besides, Qi was embarrassed to use a rubbish army to make up the number. If the Liyang Dynasty knew about it, it would not only be embarrassing, but also indirectly offend the Liyang Dynasty.
Using a million elite troops in exchange for tens of millions of refugees was obviously a failed deal, unless the secrets hidden by Long Tian in the Ten Thousand Mountains were worth it.
But these things have not been verified, and the Emperor of Qi is not sure of Long Tian's secrets.
This is embarrassing. It is your Qi State that has made a big fanfare to accept refugees. Now Long Tian has put forward conditions. If you don't accept it, wouldn't it be a breach of promise?
The ministers looked at each other. They didn't expect Long Tian to actually ask for an army.
But on second thought, this is normal. What Long Tian lacks most at this moment is naturally the army.
How to choose, everyone is considering this issue.
"Your Majesty, this trip is also for Qi and Liyang Dynasty to resist Tianwu Dynasty. A good cook cannot cook without rice. I hope Your Majesty understands."
Justice is sometimes useful.
The Emperor of Qi looked at the Jia people next to him, hoping to get the support of the hired man, but this guy lowered his eyebrows and seemed not to hear it.
The Emperor of Qi knew that this matter could not be avoided. If he did not want to force Long Tian to hand over the refugees, Long Tian would have no excuse. In the final analysis, it was still his own fault for being impatient.
"Your Highness the King of the North is kind, how can I not support you? So, I will transfer a million troops to you, and hope you can do something in the chaotic land."
The Emperor of Qi agreed.
Not only because of Long Tian's coercion, but mainly because the Emperor of Qi was really worried. He could not sleep well without knowing the matter of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
As for the million troops, there is room for operation.
In this way, the two sides reached an agreement, and Long Tian also said happily that Qi could enter the Shiwan Mountains at any time, but there were many crises in the mountains, so please pay attention to the Emperor of Qi.
This was also Long Tian's little thought. The Shiwan Mountains had already fallen into his hands, so how could Long Tian hand them over?
Anyway, he had promised, and whether he could get it back or whether he could get the approval of tens of millions of refugees was none of Long Tian's business.
Both sides achieved their goals and had their own thoughts, and the banquet ended hastily.
The next day, Long Tian received the order to mobilize troops and stationed them at the border not far from the Land of Chaos. A million troops returned to Long Tian.
Of course, if you borrow at this time, you have to pay it back.
"Bai Qi, you will lead Xiang Yu and others here immediately, completely control this army, and immediately set off to the Land of Chaos. The king will be there soon."
Long Tian immediately took action.
Long Tian knew very well that the Emperor of Qi would definitely send someone to take over the Shiwan Mountains immediately, which was obviously impossible, so he couldn't delay any longer.
Bai Qi and others went ahead, and Long Tian followed.
But what Long Tian didn't expect was that he was stopped by someone less than an hour after he left.
"Your Majesty, Qi Tian, the second prince of Qi, came to ask for an audience in hiding."
This second prince was not the crown prince of Qi. Long Tian had also seen this person at the banquet last night, but they didn't talk. He just didn't expect that this person would leave Beijing early.Du, waiting on Long Tian's way.
"Let him come to see me."
Thinking of the situation of the crown prince of Qi, Long Tian had some guesses about Qi Tian's intention. If that was the case, Long Tian would be happy to meet the second prince.
After a while, Qi Tian came to Long Tian's carriage.
Long Tian also sent people to block the surroundings first, and even Jia Ren had people watching to prevent him from knowing what happened here.
"Your Highness, the North King, I came uninvited, please forgive me."
The second prince Qi Tian has almost no chance of ascending the throne in Qi.
According to the investigation of Shadow, there is no strong support behind him. Although he himself has no ambition, there are some signs that he is not a master who is content with the status quo.
"Second prince, I am eager to rush to the front line and have no time to delay. Just say it directly."
"Don't worry, no one else will know about our conversation."
After giving Qi Tian a reassurance, Long Tian asked directly.
"Your Majesty is a man of quick words, so I will speak directly."
"Your Majesty's trip is to establish achievements, and it is inseparable from the support of Qi. I believe that Your Majesty also hopes to see a sincere partner."
"I am not talented, but I am willing to be Your Majesty's loyal partner. However, my situation in Qi is worrying, and I hope to get Your Majesty's help. As long as Your Majesty is willing to help, I will take care of the logistics and manpower replenishment of Your Majesty's trip."
Sure enough, this person is restless.
However, this is indeed of great benefit to Long Tian.
"Tell me what you think?"
The other party did not hide his ambitions, which was also very dangerous, and Long Tian did not waste words.
"Your Highness, you don't know that my father has been on the throne for more than 40 years. Unfortunately, as my father gets older, the development of Qi State has become increasingly slow, and now it is barely maintained."
"I don't want to see Qi State fall into decline, and I am willing to turn the tide and take on the responsibility of revitalizing Qi State.
"As long as Your Highness is willing to help me, I am willing to repay Your Highness with the title of King. My Qi State will also become Your Highness's most powerful helper in conquering the chaotic zone."
The conditions were very generous, and Long Tian was tempted.
