Jing Yuan shook his head and said: "None of Ye Anfeng's three million veterans could pose a fatal threat to Ye Xi, and these three million recruits may not cause much trouble to Ye Xi. The purpose of my telling you this is,

I want to tell you that war, in essence, is still a contest of economic strength. Ye Anfeng holds the wealth accumulated by successive emperors of the Chen Kingdom, while Ye Xi inherits the accumulation of the emperor (Ye Chenchen) for more than a hundred years, and

The resources of the entire Chen Kingdom. The core strength of the two can be said to be evenly matched. Who will win in the end depends on the specific operations of the two."

Mulangye nodded and said: "The war is about money, I can understand this. But water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer. The three million people Ye Anfeng recruited in the You Kingdom cannot have any impact on the current war situation in the Chen Kingdom.

, does this have anything to do with me extorting money from Ye Anfeng?"

Mi Chong had come back to his senses and said: "How could this not matter? Judging from the perspective of money, Ye Anfeng did not try his best at all. He could have changed the current unfavorable battlefield situation through a large-scale increase in troops. But

He did not do this, but chose to cooperate with you. This shows that he is willing to pay a certain price for asking you to take action. Of course, this price must be less than the price of his large-scale increase in troops."

Mulangye frowned and said: "We don't have military experience in the navy, so we can't calculate the cost of transporting three million troops from Youguo to Chenguo. How should we negotiate next?"

Mi Chong gently scratched his head and said: "I still said what I said, I will pay you back on the spot if you ask for a high price. You will meet Zhou Ruhua tomorrow and tell him clearly that you need 100 million gold in military expenditures to send troops to Luzhou. In the next time, you

Just leave him alone. He will naturally try to find out your attitude. At this time, you send someone else to reveal the information to him. The specific amount of military expenses is negotiable. When Zhou Ruhua comes to see you again, you will be very surprised.

We’ll soon know Ye Anfeng’s bottom line.”

Mulang Ye happily accepted Mi Chong's suggestion, met with Zhou Ruhua early the next morning, and clearly rejected the prince title and Luzhou fief offered by Ye Anfeng. He also clearly told Zhou Ruhua that he wanted to send troops to attack Luzhou himself.

Nanchen Kingdom must bear all the military expenses for this troop dispatch.

Mulangye even asked his staff to do some calculations in front of Zhou Ruhua and came to an outrageous conclusion. Attacking Luzhou would cost about 100 million gold. Mulangye took the opportunity to ask Nanchen Kingdom to provide 100 million gold.

military expenditure. He also made it clear that he could only leave if this batch of military expenditure was transported to Texas. Finally, he pretended to be generous and said that if the military expenditure of 100 million gold could not be used in the actual war, he would return the remaining military expenditure, no more.

One cent per cent.

It was obviously impossible for Zhou Ruhua to agree to Mulangye's outrageous conditions, but as a negotiator, he could not directly fall out with Mulangye. He could only report to Ye Anfeng and ask for instructions on the next negotiation plan, and on the other hand send

Manpower, use different channels to find out Mulang Ye's bottom line.

After half a month of back and forth, Zhou Ruhua finally reached an agreement with Mulangye. Nanchen Kingdom provided Mulangye with 20 million gold as military expenditure for Mulangye's attack on Luzhou. The Dezhou side needed to wait until the funds were in place.

Within a week, launch a full-scale attack on Luzhou.

On the day when he received funds from Nanchen Kingdom, Mi Chong happened to be in Prince De's Mansion. Seeing a large room full of gold coins in front of him, Mi Chong was very excited. He kept grabbing gold coins and putting them in his pocket. It didn't take long.

, the gold coins burst through her pockets, and fell to the ground again. But Mi Chong was completely oblivious to this, and kept putting gold coins into her pockets.

Finally, Jing Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled Mi Chong and said, "Okay, Chong'er, with the way you pretend, you won't be able to get a few gold coins by tomorrow."

Mi Chong said with disdain: "Tch! Do you think this baby is a fool? It's just because the pockets of my clothes are torn that I keep putting gold coins in them."

Jing Yuan couldn't understand Mi Chong's logic at all and asked, "Why are you doing this?"

Mi Chong said proudly: "Don't you understand? I am trying to experience the feeling of counting money until my hands cramp. The pockets of my clothes are leaking, so I can keep counting. What I want is not these gold coins at all, but The thrill of counting gold coins.”

Jing Yuan said with some surprise: "They say you love money as much as your life. I really didn't expect you to remain calm in front of such a big pile of gold coins."
