After being forced to travel through time by accident, I became famous in the entertainment industry

Shen Lingge unfolded the paper in his hand. "Ceding ten cities is indeed much better than the five that Mobei promised us. But we already captured seven cities. Doesn't this mean that Mobei only gave us three more?"

This was what Shen Lingge couldn't understand. Their original plan was to capture twelve cities.

Although Xu Zhao didn't know why only ten cities were chosen in the end in history, she still told Shen Lingge her opinion.

"These ten cities in Mobei are poor and far from the original territory of the Moon Nation. They are actually difficult to manage. Even if we ask for more, it will be difficult to manage and will become a burden. It is better to go with the flow and do a favor."

"Yue Nation and Mobei Nation are neighbors, and each has its own specialties. These ten cities could be used for trade between the two countries. Both Yue Nation and Mobei people could live in the cities."

"But when people from two countries live together, friction is inevitable. What should we do?" Shen Lingge asked humbly.

"The Yue Kingdom can establish a Protectorate here to manage these ten cities. This is intended to promote friendly relations between the two countries. Besides..." Xu Zhao looked at Shen Lingge meaningfully, "The unification of the four kingdoms is an inevitable trend. The people of each nation must adapt to each other's lives."

"Sister Zhao Zhao, what you mean is..."

Before Shen Lingge could finish his words, Xu Zhao raised his index finger and placed it in front of his mouth, as if to silence him.

"You'll know when the time comes."

Shen Lingge: “!!!”

She also said that she was not a fairy. Now Shen Lingge was even more convinced that Xu Zhao was a fairy who came down from heaven to help them solve their problems.

Xu Zhao didn't care about Shen Lingge's messy thoughts. "Compared to the city, war horses are the most important strategic material."

A good warhorse will have greater endurance on the battlefield and run faster. It is an indispensable thing for killing the enemy and is much better than a city with poor air.

"That's right. Mobei's warhorses have always been the best among the four nations. Even Zhongjin often comes to Mobei to buy warhorses. However, they strictly control the number of first-class warhorses."

The Mobei Kingdom was naturally also afraid that other countries would buy the best war horses and attack their country later.

Shen Lingge looked at the contents on the paper. The original thirty A-grade war horses were changed to fifty, and the B-grade war horses were increased to one hundred.

"Since we have ten cities that coexist with the Mobei Kingdom, why not use them to our advantage and have our people learn how the Mobei Kingdom raises war horses? This way, we can not only produce war horses ourselves, but also obtain a batch of excellent war horses from the Mobei Kingdom."

"Good idea!" Shen Lingge applauded.

"As for spices and furs, let your uncle decide for himself." Xu Zhao stood up and stretched, then made herself a cup of tea. After talking so much, she felt a little thirsty.

"Hurry up and send it to your uncle."

……

Shen Yu received Xu Zhao's letter in the evening of the next day. After opening it, he saw Xu Zhao's crooked handwriting and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

This word is really eye-catching!

Although the handwriting is ugly, it is still barely legible.

After reading it, Shen Yu roughly knew what Xu Zhao meant. She must have her reasons for writing it this way. In that case, he would do as Xu Zhao said.

After the first negotiation, Jirimutu roughly understood the attitude of Yue Kingdom, but twelve cities were too many for Mobei.

After his first attempt at peace failed, he submitted a letter stating the conditions of the Yue Kingdom and had it sent back to the imperial city at full speed. However, he was reprimanded by the new emperor for his poor performance and was ordered to seek peace quickly without delay.

Seven days later, Jirimutu reappeared in the Yue Kingdom's camp. Because the two sides were currently negotiating a ceasefire, Shen Yu's army remained on standby, awaiting Mobei's request for peace.

This time he revealed his trump card, saying that he would cede a maximum of ten cities, including the seven captured by the Moon Kingdom.

"Heh," Fang Xuren snorted coldly at Jirimutu as usual, "Then shouldn't Mobei Kingdom compensate us for the two cities we lost somewhere else?"

Before this meeting, Shen Yu had discussed with several deputy generals, and decided to use what Xu Zhao provided them as the bottom line. If they could get more, it would be best not to get more. If not, the conditions Xu Zhao wrote to him would not be unacceptable.

When Jirimutu heard that Yue Kingdom agreed to take fewer cities, he puffed out his chest and said humbly, "I wonder what compensation Yue Kingdom wants?" As long as the conditions are reasonable, everything can be negotiated.

The territory of Mobei Kingdom is not large to begin with, and its cities are not as many as those of Yue Kingdom. If a city is taken away, the land around the city will also be lost. Twelve cities are definitely a heavy blow to the territory of Mobei.

Whatever can be saved now is better.

Fang Xuren glanced at Vice General Wang, who immediately continued, "Every one of the four kingdoms knows that Mobei's war horses are exceptional. You only gave us thirty first-class horses, which is a bit too stingy."

"This... war horse is different from ordinary horses and is difficult to train..." Jirimutu's back, which had been straightened with great difficulty, now became hunched again. Thinking of the thundering methods after the new emperor ascended the throne, he sighed. It seems that this time he really has to retire and return home.

"No matter how difficult it is to train them, Mobei Kingdom sells a hundred war horses to Zhongjin Kingdom every year. They are just giving us a few more now."

From what I heard, Lieutenant General Wang does have the potential to be a local rogue.

"I wonder how much your country wants?" Jirimutu was really at a loss.

This was a matter of national concern, so Deputy General Wang naturally could not speak. He turned his gaze towards Shen Yu who was sitting in a high position.

"I wonder how much your country can provide?" Shen Yu was originally looking down at the miscellaneous notes on the table. After hearing Ji Rimutu's question, he raised his eyes and glanced at him.

At this time, the two sides were testing each other. Shen Yu was afraid that the amount he quoted was too low, while Ji Rimutu was afraid that the amount he quoted was more than what the person in front of him wanted.

Jirimutu asked tentatively, "Forty?"

Fang Xuren knew the minimum number his prince wanted. When he heard that the envoy in front of him only carried ten horses, he became even more displeased. "Bah! It seems to me that you, Your Excellency, have no intention of seeking peace at all. I think it is better to call it a day and return the armistice agreement to Mobei Kingdom."

If the armistice agreement was returned, it would mean that Yue Kingdom would attack Mobei again, which was a scene that the new emperor did not want to see.

"Fifty!" Jirimutu said, nearly falling backwards due to palpitations. He bit the tip of his tongue hard to calm himself down. "Prince Shen, we really can't have more. My country, Mobei, is willing to offer fifty first-class war horses and one hundred second-class war horses every year. What do you think?"

It is easier to breed a B-grade warhorse than an A-grade warhorse. Even if you breed ten warhorses in a row, you may not necessarily produce an A-grade one. This shows how scarce A-grade warhorses are.
