"No no no!"

The teahouse owner shook his head again, "That would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. As long as Pelican County is still close to Chang'an, the relationship between us is bound to be tense and we cannot fully trust it."

"That's true."

"How can we allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed?"

Grant was quite surprised by the other party's straightforwardness and frankness.

"Have you never thought about being bolder and jumping out of the Valley Province? For example, to regain a foothold in the Tara Province to the west?" the teahouse owner suggested with a smile.

"Sir, are you kidding me?"

Grant's face turned cold again.

The Valley Province and the Tara Province to the west are bounded by the Tara Mountains running north to south. The mountains are rolling. There are only a few mountain roads accessible.

Lone Mountain, located on the border of Pelican County, is one of the most convenient mountain trails.

to this end.

Tara Province has built Gushan Fortress in Gushan and stationed allied troops in the province at the same time.

Of course, the Gushan Fortress is not completely completed yet.

Even so, with Pelican County's current strength, it is impossible to conquer the Gushan Fortress, which is stationed by a 150,000-tal allied force.

What's more important is——

Grant's base is in Pelican County. In Pelican County, even if he successfully extends his tentacles to Tara Province, his base camp is still close to Chang'an.

The two sides will still maintain tense relations.

What's the difference?

"How dare I? You might as well take a look at this, sir."

The teahouse owner said, taking out a token and handing it to Grant.

Grant took it doubtfully.

[Migration Token: You can move the lord’s mansion to other cities within the territory]

"There are such magical props?"

How smart Grant was, he saw the value of the "migration token" at a glance.

With this.

If he really breaks through the Gushan Fortress, he can move the lord's palace to Tara Province.

That way.

You can stay away from the whirlpool of war in the River Valley Province.

It’s really like the sea is so wide that the fish can leap.

"Do you believe our sincerity now, sir?" the teahouse owner laughed.

"cough."

Grant quickly regained his composure, "Even with the migration token, the premise is that I can really lead my troops to conquer Gushan Fortress. To be honest, the chance of winning is less than 50%."

As for the 50%, it was still Grant's side who had calculated and unintentional intentions.

"If, at the right time, a unit of our Tiance Army suddenly emerges from the Beiluo Mountains and appears in the southeast corner of Tara Province, will it increase the chance of victory to 70 to 80%?"

The teahouse owner came prepared.

"Really?"

Grant's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your Majesty, you don't think that I would joke about such a big thing, do you?"

"...What does Chang'an want to gain by helping me like this?"

Grant didn't believe in pie in the sky.

"It's very simple. After your lord has established a foothold in Tara Province, Pelican County will be owned by Chang'an." The teahouse owner smiled and said Chang'an's offer.

But he wanted to take Pelican County without any blood.

"this…"

The foundation we finally built with great difficulty has to be given up like this.

Grant really couldn't bear it.

I was also secretly surprised by Chang'an's appetite. This was a waste of money.

"Of course."

Seeing this, the teahouse owner smiled and added: "Chang'an only wants the land of Pelican County. As for the population, supplies, etc., you can take them all to Tara Province."

"good!"

After Grant heard this, he nodded in agreement.
Chapter completed!
