Who put the yellow robe on me?

Jiang Chen patted his shoulder, his eyes full of trust: "Second Young Master, you did a great job. I heard that you met with the soldiers of the Former Yan. You have performed a great service by discovering the Former Yan troops."

Zhong Xiaoshan saluted humbly and said, "Your Highness, General Xianyu has already contacted the soldiers of Former Yan. Would you like to meet them now?"

Jiang Chen nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes: "Okay, I also want to meet these brave soldiers."

At this time, Xian Yulinyuan walked over from one side of the camp.

He was wearing armor and had a solemn expression. When he saw Jiang Chen, he immediately saluted: "Your Highness."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and helped him up. "General Xianyu, no need to be so polite! Thanks to you, we were able to establish contact with the Former Yan soldiers this time."

Xian Yulinyuan said modestly, "Your Highness is too kind. For the safety of Daliang, I have only done my humble part."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "General Xianyu, I heard that you have had some communication with the soldiers of Former Yan. Please introduce them to me."

Xian Yulinyuan replied respectfully, "Yes! Your Highness, Prince of Yan, please follow me."

Along the way, Jiang Chen chatted with everyone as they walked.

He could sense the laughter and cheers of the soldiers; they were all in high spirits and well-trained. It seemed their recent victories had boosted their morale.

A gentle breeze brought the smell of smoke from nearby cooking, mixed with a faint aroma of meat, which greatly increased one's appetite.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems the soldiers have good food."

Zhong Xiaodan smiled and replied, "Your Highness, the soldiers from the Former Yan brought a lot of special ingredients today, and our chefs have also learned a lot of new dishes."

Jiang Chen nodded: "That's great. I'd like to try it when I have a chance later."

Soon, they arrived in front of a spacious tent.

Xianyu Linyuan stopped and turned around and said, "Your Highness, the Former Yan commander Murong Hao and his soldiers are inside."

Jiang Chen straightened his clothes and his expression became solemn: "Okay, let's go in."

As he entered the tent, Jiang Chen immediately felt a different atmosphere.

The tent was furnished in a simple yet elegant style. A guqin sat on a table to one side, its strings shimmering, as if recently played. The air was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood, bringing a sense of tranquility.

Murong Hao stood in the tent, with several of his trusted generals behind him.

When they saw Jiang Chen and others coming in, they all stepped forward to salute.

Xianyu Linyuan introduced Jiang Chen and others to the generals of Former Yan.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan." Murong Hao said with a fist clasped, his voice low and powerful.

Jiang Chen smiled and returned the greeting: "General Murong, I have long heard of your great name. It is truly a privilege to meet you today."

Murong Hao's eyes flashed with gratitude and relief. "Your Highness, thank you for your praise. This time, General Xianyu and his soldiers repelled the Western Regions army and resolved our urgent need."

Jiang Chen nodded: "General Murong, you are too kind!"

After both parties sat down, the servants served them tea.

The fragrance of tea was lingering and refreshing. Jiang Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling the sweetness and fragrance of the tea.

He couldn't help but praise: "This tea is good, with a pleasant fragrance."

Murong Hao smiled and said, "This is our Former Yan's specialty, 'Jade Tea'. It can make people feel refreshed."

Jiang Chen nodded: "It is said that the Former Yan Dynasty has a lot of research on gourmet food and tea. Meeting today, it is indeed well-deserved."

Then, Jiang Chen looked at Murong Hao and said sincerely: "General Murong, I came here this time, not only to meet all the heroes, but also to discuss our cooperation.

I hope to join hands with the soldiers of the Former Yan to destroy the invaders from the Western Regions."

Murong Hao slowly stood up and looked into the distance. "Your Highness, the Former Yan State has been displaced ever since it was destroyed by the Western Regions. Now we understand clearly that whether it's the Western Regions or Daliang, we will have no place to stay in the end!"

Murong Hao turned his head and continued to speak to Jiang Chen, "Your Highness Prince Yan, we are tired. We really don't want to bother with this worldly dispute anymore!"

Jiang Chen looked at Murong Hao, his eyes filled with a sense of vicissitude that shouldn't be seen on someone his age. "General Murong, I understand your difficulties! On behalf of Daliang, I would like to promise the soldiers of the Former Yan that if you are willing to help us destroy the Western Regions, we will give you the Western Province, and let your people live and work there in peace and contentment."

Murong Hao's eyes flashed with excitement, but he quickly regained his composure. "Your Highness, are you serious?"

Jiang Chen nodded solemnly. "I swear in the name of Daliang that I will never break my promise. However, although Xizhou belongs to Former Yan, it is still a vassal state of Daliang. You, Former Yan, can manage your own prefectures and counties independently, and we in Daliang will not interfere. But in terms of the general direction, I hope you can align with us and jointly maintain peace."

Murong Hao pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he agreed, not only would he be able to find a new home for the people of Former Yan, but he would also have the powerful Daliang as his backing.

But, how much of what His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan said is true?

What if he suddenly changes his mind after the thing is done?

Murong Hao said slowly with a serious expression, "Your Highness, although we, the Former Yan, have a deep hatred for the Western Regions, they destroyed our homes and displaced our people. We have been looking for opportunities to avenge our hatred. But..."

Murong Hao glanced at the Daliang soldiers and coughed dryly. "But what if Daliang suddenly responds after we've repelled the Western Regions? Our Former Yan army of a few hundred men is definitely no match for a massive force of over a million!"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "General Murong's worries are not groundless! I have a suggestion. What do you think?"

Murong Hao looked at Jiang Chen sincerely: "Your Highness Prince Yan, please speak!"

Jiang Chen came to the map and pointed at Xizhou and said, "General Murong, please look! This place is less than five kilometers away from Yizhou. I just saw that not all the soldiers of the Former Yan were brave and skilled in fighting. There were also a few women, children and young children.

General Murong can arrange for the women, children, and young ones to temporarily reside in Yizhou. The Yizhou government is under the jurisdiction of Daliang, so General Xianyu can accompany them! Once we defeat the Western Regions, the people of Former Yan will be able to settle in Xizhou!"

Jiang Chen knew that Murong Hao was still wary of Daliang, but had a lot of good feelings towards Xianyu Linyuan. If he could use Xianyu Linyuan to improve the relationship between the two, it would definitely be more effective!

Murong Hao took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Jiang Chen, and said solemnly, "Your Highness, I feel your sincerity. On behalf of the soldiers of Former Yan, I accept your proposal. We are willing to go all out to help Daliang repel the Western Regions."

Jiang Chen showed a relieved smile on his face: "Great! With your joining, our chances of winning are even greater."
