Baili Ting nodded slightly, "Everything went well. The princess earned one million taels of silver in one transaction. This transaction not only brought more cooperation opportunities to the two countries, but also brought benefits to the people of Dasheng."

When General Qin and others heard this, they showed relief on their faces.

Qing He looked at everyone and said:

“Uncle, we have reached a new cooperation intention with Turkic this time.

In the early spring of next year, we will provide cattle and sheep grass and medicinal herbs suitable for growth in the Turks, and the Turks will also provide a batch of cattle, horses and lambs.

I plan to vigorously promote cattle and sheep breeding in Dasheng, establish large-scale breeding farms, and encourage the people to participate in breeding.”

General Qin's eyes lit up, "Princess Chen, this is a very good plan. If it succeeds, it will greatly enhance the strength of our Dasheng."

Baili Ye nodded slightly, looked at General Qin and asked, "General Qin, has there been any unusual movement on the border of Xiliang Kingdom recently?"

General Qin's expression became solemn, and he clasped his hands and replied, "General, there is no obvious movement on the border of Xiliang State at present. But I dare not take it lightly, and I have been paying close attention to the dynamics of the border."

Baili Ye nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Currently, the Turks have a good relationship with us, but the Western Liang Kingdom has been eyeing us covetously, so we must be on guard.

Instruct them to strengthen border patrols, keep a close eye on every move of the Western Liang Kingdom, and report any situation immediately."

"I obey your command!" General Qin replied.

Everyone came to the big tent. Baili Ting thought for a moment and said, "Now that the matter of the Turkic Kingdom has been resolved, we have to go to the Western Liang Kingdom next. What do you think?"

Baili Ye said:

"This time we are bringing 500 elite soldiers to Xiliang. First, we are going to Xiliang to discuss the matter of borrowing grain and materials, and second, we are going to find out the dynamics of Xiliang Kingdom."

General Qin frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, the relationship between Xiliang and Dasheng has always been delicate. I'm afraid it will be difficult to negotiate the grain loan this time."

Qing He thought for a moment and said:

"Although it is difficult, we must go this time. We should go with sincerity and get the contract. If Xiliang stirs up trouble in the future, the responsibility will not be ours."

Everyone discussed the details of the negotiation and determined some negotiation strategies and bottom lines.

Baili Ye nodded and said, "Xiao He is right. This time there might be danger, brother, why don't you stay in the barracks and wait for us?"

"General Qin is in charge of the military camp. I will go with you." Baili Ting said.

Baili Ye nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and get 500 elite soldiers, and we'll set out at 3 p.m. tomorrow."

"Then I'll go prepare food and supplies." Qinghe continued.

After everyone had discussed and agreed, they began to prepare for their trip to Xiliang State.

At the hour of Yin the next day, everything was ready. Baili Ting, Baili Ye and Qinghe boarded the plane with five hundred elite soldiers and embarked on the journey to Xiliang Kingdom.

Three hours later, they finally arrived at the border of Xiliang State. Baili Ye selected twenty elite soldiers to follow, and the others stayed on the plane and were sent into space by Qinghe.

When the garrison commander of Xiliang heard that the people from Dasheng had arrived, he became alert and sent someone to inform his superiors.

While waiting, Baili Ye and others patiently observed the defense situation on the border of Xiliang Kingdom, secretly thinking about countermeasures in their hearts.

Soon after, a minister from the Western Liang Kingdom came to greet him. Baili Ye handed over the letter of credence, and after reading it, the minister's face became grim, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"The distinguished guest from Dasheng has come from afar, I wonder what he is here for?"

Baili Ting took a step forward, bowed slightly and said:

"This time, I came here to discuss with Xiliang Kingdom about borrowing grain and supplies from Dasheng."

Minister Xiliang narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"Everyone, please follow me into the city." After saying that, he motioned Baili Ting and others to follow him to the inn to rest for a while.

Everyone came to the inn, each with their own thoughts.

Qing He looked around and said softly to Baili Ye:

"The attitude of the Western Liang Kingdom is unclear. We need to be fully prepared."

Baili Ye nodded slightly and looked out the window with deep eyes.

Not long after, the Emperor of Xiliang sent an edict, summoning Baili Ting and others into the palace.

The Emperor of Western Liang sat high on the throne with a majestic look.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Baili Ting explained his purpose: "Your Majesty, your country's envoys came to our Dasheng a few days ago to ask to borrow grain and supplies. It happened that we were on business in the northern border recently, so we came to Xiliang in person to discuss the relevant matters."

The Xiliang Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly swept his gaze over everyone, and said in a deep voice:

"How sincere is Dasheng's visit this time?"

Baili Ting bowed slightly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

"Your Majesty, I, Dasheng, come here with full sincerity this time.

Xiliang and Dasheng are neighbors, so they should help each other and develop together.

But this winter, Dasheng also suffered a snowstorm, and supplies are not very abundant.

Now Xiliang has a request to Dasheng. Based on the principle of friendly diplomatic relations, Dasheng cannot sit idly by. However, the number is small, so please forgive me, Emperor Xiliang."
