Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 978 The Old Man of Snow Country, the Last Emperor

At this point, Hua Yuanzheng finally realized that he had underestimated this guy.

But he then asked another question.

"After all these years, you can still summon them back?"

"Of course, those who left with me in the end will all be willing to join me in restoring our country at any time."

Even after so many years, time may have aged their bodies.

However, the remnants of the Snow Country's forces have never changed their firm beliefs.

"how many people?"

"I'll tell you the number later."

The old man smiled mysteriously and continued:

"In addition to these people, I have quite a few treasures in my hands. I can roughly tell you the number."

"how many?"

"Enough for you to fight for 10 to 20 years."

The old man slowly opened his mouth and said an extremely terrifying number.

"What!?"

You have to know that a large army's daily expenditure in battle is several thousand or even tens of thousands of taels of silver.

However, the wealth that the old man brought back from the Snow Country could support them in fighting for another 10 to 20 years.

So how much did he bring out?

With a gulp, Hua Yuanzheng swallowed in disbelief, then stared at the old man fiercely.

"No wonder the Emperor insisted on suppressing you all those years ago. You are such a patient old man."

He was able to hide in the Shenmu Kingdom for decades with such a huge amount of wealth and an unknown number of troops.

Such a powerful force has never been grasped by the imperial court.

This means that the old man in front of him has always been incredibly cautious.

"For the sake of ultimate victory, it doesn't matter how long we endure. The Snow Country will be restored, and I will not be its last emperor."

"But will your final victory be achieved in my hands? I just want to live."

Hua Yuanzheng frowned tightly and stared at the old man in front of him.

Their goals are actually quite different. Hua Yuanzheng and Hua Yunhong are now irreconcilable.

The other party even offered to lay off his troops.

This is equivalent to turning him into fish on the chopping board.

If we reject the other side's request to disband troops, fighting will surely break out again between the two sides.

There was also a Qin Ming standing by, trying to balance their situation.

Not only is the situation extremely complicated, but now the last emperor of the Snow Country has appeared.

If the other party were to restore its country, most of the land in its hands would definitely have to be returned to the Snow Country.

There is also an area outside their borders, which means that the entire north is not under the control of Hua Yuanzheng alone.

Therefore, Hua Yuanzheng did not agree to this kind of cooperation.

Because even if this kind of cooperation is successful, the final price will be to hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt yourself by eight hundred.

"I just need to rebuild the Snow Country. As for the size of the territory, don't worry. I will definitely not make things difficult for you."

The old man had already seen the dissatisfaction in Hua Yuanzheng's heart at this time.

So he stated his conditions.

It would be like if the Snow Country were to be restored now.

The direct enemy is the Shenmu Kingdom.

Hua Yunhong would definitely not allow them to establish their own kingdom.

The best way at this time is to put Hua Yuanzheng in front of you.

Let him also act as a buffer zone.

Protecting the Snow Country so that it can develop.

But after hearing what he said, Hua Yuanzheng's face suddenly became even more embarrassed.

"What do you take me for, you old fool?"

"Is this just a free contribution to you? How can you help me?"

This deal is really not worth it.

No matter who it is, no one would nod.

So at this time, Hua Yuanzheng no longer had any patience to continue talking to the other party.

In fact, apart from the last emperor of the Snow Country.

In the past few days, Hua Yuanzheng has started to try all kinds of treatments to cure his illness.

He also met with resistance forces from several other small countries.

These rebels all have the dream of restoring their country.

In this situation, they naturally targeted Hua Yuanzheng, which had lost the support of the surrounding major forces.

They wanted to take a gamble and see if Hua Yuanzheng could withstand Hua Yunhong's counterattack.

If possible, after supporting him, I can even benefit from it and successfully restore my country.

Hua Yuanzheng happened to have run out of cards, so he had no choice but to discuss with them to see if he could get some help from them.

But most people come here with just a thick skin.

After arriving, they put forward various conditions and did not provide any help to Hua Yuanzheng at all.

Under such circumstances, Hua Yuanzheng naturally had no way to continue to get along with them.

Only today the emperor of the Snow Country spoke like a normal person.

But the other party still took me into account and has not even given me any corresponding benefits until now.

"Fifty thousand troops, all elite, plus half of my treasure."

"You still have 50,000 troops, elite ones at that? How is that possible?"

Hua Yuanzheng was a little skeptical that the other side could muster 50,000 troops.

You know, most of the Snow Country’s troops had been wiped out by them, but they suddenly appeared again.

"You may not know that I took them to the Western Regions a few years ago, and most of them have been sent to the Yelang Kingdom."

It seemed that Hua Yuanzheng didn't believe it.

At this time, the old man suddenly spoke with a smile and told a shocking news.

"what?"

Ignoring Hua Yuanzheng's shock, he continued:

"They've been doing well over the years since they went there, and the force has even expanded."

"I have reached a deal with the ruler of Yelang. As long as he helps me support these people, I will give him three million taels of silver every year."

"But he ran away some time ago, and my large army couldn't survive in the Western Regions, so they came back."

"It's impossible to feed and clothe so many troops. Such a large-scale purchase of military supplies will definitely be discovered quickly."

Hua Yuanzheng was a very smart man and immediately realized the crux of the problem.

The troops' supplies are very large, and the materials they need are also traces left during the advancement.

We will soon be discovered by the border troops. It is definitely not as easy as the old man said.

"That's the problem."

There was already a hint of pride in the old man's tone at this time.

"Do you know why rebels have been appearing one after another in various places these days?"

"why?"

"Because we took advantage of the civil unrest during the Shenmu Civilization, we had already made all the preparations. You were completely unaware of this during the chaos. During that period, the top leaders of Tongbao Pavilion also fled en masse."

The old man's words made Hua Yuanzheng silent for a long time. The Shenmu Kingdom was in great chaos some time ago.

There was a lot of pressure to find out who was secretly buying military supplies.

In addition, with the change of ownership of Tongbao Pavilion, the market originally controlled by Tongbao Pavilion also experienced great fluctuations.

I don’t know how many people continued to speculate and trade large quantities of goods during this period.

It would be even harder to be discovered if you blend in with this group of people and buy military supplies.

"You...are there many people like you?"

Hua Yuanzheng took a deep breath, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have touched upon a group of forces that were worth cooperating with.
