After seeing Beichen Yuqing, Yuan Zhong was so enthusiastic, "It turned out that Mr. Beichen came in person. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar."
Beichen Yuqing was very perceptive. When she heard the emphasis on the word "in person", she knew what Yuan Zhong was thinking. She smiled slightly, with a hint of teasing in her eyes: "Sorry to bother you, Master Yuan. Anyang has a great opportunity now and wants to cooperate with Dongyuan County. I wonder if Dongyuan County thinks highly of Anyang now?"
"Haha, Military Advisor Beichen, you are really belittling Anyang. Who in Daxia doesn't know Anyang now? Tell me, whatever it is, as long as it helps Daxia, Dongyuan County will do its duty."
Beichen Yuqing's eyes were no longer filled with teasing, "Really?"
"Uh..." Yuan Zhong was immediately dumbfounded. I was just being polite, polite, do you understand? !
Yuan Zhao was smart and clever. He relied on his junior status to speak directly, "Mr. Beichen, do you want my help? Tell me, I will help you if I can."
"My dear brother?" Beichen Yuqing's mouth twitched. He put away his joking expression and said, "Governor Yuan, we launched a surprise attack in the early hours of this morning and succeeded in one fell swoop. We have now captured the Governor of Zhongshan County, Shi Chengsong, and sent him to the imperial capital."
"What! Really?" Needless to say, even Yuan Yong couldn't keep calm. Anyang was in danger before, and there were people standing by and watching. How could they win the war so quickly
Beichen Yuqing smiled confidently, "Old man (Yuan Yong), how dare you lie about this matter. Now we in Anyang want to cooperate with Dongyuan County. We control the north of Luliang County, and Dongyuan County controls the south of Luliang County, erasing Luliang County from the map. In addition, please ask the Yuan family to defend the Kong family and Nanyang County to the east. This is a serious matter. If you agree, then we must swear an oath as a witness!"
Yuan Yong was a general after all, so he quickly calmed down and said, "Please allow us to discuss this."
After Beichen Yuqing left, Yuan Yong actually looked at Yuan Zhao, "You have had more contact with Li Xian and know Anyang better. What do you think we should do?"
Yuan Zhao immediately stood up and said, "Dad, Uncle, I think we don't want any land in Luliang County. We want cannons, guns, locomotives, and large ship technology! This is the most practical thing!"
Yuan Yong shook his head, "This is the most impractical. Li Xian can't possibly make everything public. But maybe we can get one or two technologies. My opinion is that we want the land of Luliang County and the technology of Anyang, but only some of them. However, technical negotiations will probably be difficult. I think we should first get the land of Luliang County, and then slowly deal with the technical issues later. Yuan Zhao, you escort 10,000 taels of gold to the imperial mausoleum and talk to Li Xian in person. Now that Xu Ren and others are not with Li Xian, this is a great opportunity."
When Yuan Zhao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, "I understand!"
Ten thousand taels of gold were buried with the emperor. This was an excuse to go to the imperial tomb - otherwise not everyone could go to the imperial tomb.
Afterwards they discussed some details, such as "renewing old grudges" with the Kong family and making preparations for the struggle for hegemony, etc. After discussing this for about half an hour, Yuan Yong and Yuan Zhong met Beichen Yuqing again.
