Chapter 759: Rotten Wood Cannot Be Carved
"Lord Taki Mu, the third batch of supplies from the North has arrived.
Taking a nap in the courtyard, the hurried arrival of the female general disturbed Taki Mu's dream.
Snap, snap, snap.
The female soldiers walked in carrying boxes after boxes of supplies. They were all large boxes as tall as a man. They were placed in the courtyard. There were hundreds of boxes stacked on top of each other, which were higher than the courtyard wall.
"Come again?" Taki Mu was a little surprised: "In just a few days, Beidi has already allocated three batches of supplies to us."
"This time it's some training resources and materials for beast control training." The female general replied, a little excited: "Such a lot of resources are enough to improve the overall strength of Canglan City a lot."
"Indeed." Takimu nodded, looking at the boxes filled with resources, with joy in his eyes.
Canglan City has never lived a prosperous life, and it is even more difficult after the troubled times. If there were not enough farming and sowing in the city, the people's food and clothing would be a problem.
"There seems to be nothing wrong with being a proton..."
This thought came into his mind, and Takimu himself was startled. He calmed down a little, and then thought about it: "Why did the King of the North Land give us so many things? It would be too good for Canglan City."
"I heard from the King of the North that this is the intention of the imperial court." A female soldier said: "The imperial court appreciates the ambition of Lord Takimu City and is willing to give Canglan City the greatest help."
After the female soldier's words came out, the female general and Taki Mu at the front showed a hint of embarrassment.
Many people cannot see the current situation clearly. When they heard about the re-establishment of the imperial court, they all thought that the human race really had an imperial court again.
"That's not the imperial court. It's nothing more than a sounding board for the King of the North..." Taki Mu didn't say the words out loud. He sighed inexplicably in his heart, and the joy he felt just now faded away a lot.
Being courteous for nothing, Beidi's goodwill towards Canglan City is not necessarily a good thing.
"Let the government affairs department count all the supplies and then distribute them." Waving his hand, Takimu said: "This batch of supplies will last half a year."
"Okay." The female soldiers couldn't understand Taki Mu's thoughts. At this time, they were all immersed in the joy of abundance. Regardless of their fatigue, they raised their hands one by one to the supply boxes they had just put down, and happily looked towards the government office. went.
"City Lord, do you think something is wrong?" The female general who has followed Takimu for many years saw the clues. After everyone left, she asked: "You don't seem very happy."
"I always feel like they have ulterior motives." Taki Mu shook his head, "But I don't know what's wrong."
"I don't understand either." The female general shook her head: "Is it some sophisticated strategy, a divorce plan or something..."
"A divorce plan." Hearing this, Taki Mu paused, and then suddenly reacted.
In my mind, the abnormal revelations of the King of the North these days were suddenly connected in series.
"No wonder so many people came to the north that day, not for Canglan City, but for Ye Fan..." Taki Mu reacted immediately and said to the female general: "They are deliberately showing off that they are very different from Canglan City." A close look."
"It's called a transaction, but if Canglan City and Beidi are too close, it will arouse Ye Fan's suspicion. Over time, even if Canglan City develops, it will no longer gain Ye Fan's trust, and Canglan, who has been favored for a long time, will no longer gain Ye Fan's trust." The people in the city will also rely on funding from the North and become closer to the North."
"Canglan City was originally stuck in the north alone. Without Ye Fan's toughness, Canglan City would be just a piece of fat. The current investment is nothing more than making us a bigger piece of fat."
Speaking of this, Taki Mu was startled and broke into a cold sweat. In his mind, the shadow of Jin Bisheng flashed: "What a vicious plan. This move is to truly merge Canglan City into the new three provinces of the North."
"What should we do?" After hearing this, the female general's expression also changed a little, as if she did not expect that a few boxes of supplies would bring such serious consequences.
Although Ye Fan is tough, he will not interfere with the freedom of Canglan City. If the North King takes over, it is unimaginable what the city where millions of women will become will become.
"Isn't Ye Fan already suspicious of us?" the female general said, a little panicked: "We sent him a message this morning, but we haven't received a reply from him."
"That's not necessarily true." Thinking of Ye Fan's original killing spree, Taki Mu stood up and said, "I'll send him a message in person to explain the situation."
"Prince Ye?" The next moment, when he saw the figure at the door clearly, Taki Mu showed surprise, "Why are you here?"
"On the way."
Ye Fan leaned quietly by the door, looking at the surprised Taki Mu, he smiled slightly.
"What message did you just say you wanted to send me?"
"I……"
Looking at Ye Fan, it was obvious that he had learned the content of their conversation. Taki Mu was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a while, but the female general on the side took the initiative to rescue him.
"King Ye, the city lord was just worried that Beidi's aid would create a gap between Canglan City and King Ye, and he wanted to explain to you."
"Oh." Ye Fan nodded and waved his hand casually: "As long as they are willing to give it away, I hope you will become stronger."
"Well..." Ye Fan's words surprised Taki Mu, but when Ye Fan's eyes glanced at her, she suddenly felt a little natural.
How could a person like Ye Fan care about such a scheme.
"The man sent by the King of the North to negotiate is named Jin Bisheng. I asked about him. He is now the chief counselor of the King of the North." Approaching Ye Fan, Taki Mu whispered: "The defeat of King Zhao, it is said that he The strategy played a major role.”
"You can tell." Ye Fan nodded.
The importance of counselors was reflected at this time. After losing his trusted military advisor, King Zhao was completely like a fool. When facing King Beidi, he was simply played by the other party.
Such a strategy of separation, when used on King Zhao, is always effective.
"This King Beidi..." Ye Fan's eyes were somewhat thoughtful.
As time goes on, he grows rapidly, and the friction with these top kings will become greater and greater.
Today, it is still a transaction, and King Beidi is still keeping a plan. When we meet in battle in the future, who knows what he will do.
"Is King Ye suddenly coming to Canglan City because of the transaction with King Beidi?" Long Mu welcomed Ye Fan into the courtyard, making tea while waving to the female general.
The female general had a look and retreated quietly.
"It's not a transaction." Ye Fan replied, not saying too much: "It's considered that King Beidi and King Ming both ask me for something, and now they are giving me conditions."
"I ask you for something." This made Long Mu startled.
It turns out that the aid that Canglan City received was only because the King of Beidi wanted Ye Fan to help, and Ye Fan has not agreed yet...
"Who does King Ye plan to help?" Ye Fan picked up the tea, and Long Mu asked.
"I don't know, it depends on my mood." Ye Fan waved his hand and didn't let Long Mu ask any more questions. He looked at Long Mu: "How has Canglan City been doing recently? Is it going well?"
"Alas." Long Mu sighed: "Just as King Ye said at the beginning, it's like walking on thin ice, every step is difficult."
"Normal." Ye Fan nodded: "Now with the help of the North, life should be much better."
"I always feel that I can't see the future." Facing Ye Fan, Long Mu lost his airs and said his worries: "Canglan City is too weak, we can't protect ourselves, let alone realize more of our ideas."
"If it weren't for the blessing of King Ye, Canglan City would have been breached long ago, and our sisters and people might have become playthings of others long ago."
"You just need time to grow up." Ye Fan answered, looking at Long Mu with sad eyes, and couldn't help but think of the time when he first met her, she was still a queen.
After a short pause, Ye Fan spoke: "Takimu, as a leader, you need enough confidence and some determination to do whatever it takes."
"Hmm?" Hearing Ye Fan's words, Takimu was slightly puzzled: "What does Ye Wang mean, specifically..."
"Ideals cannot be realized by talking about them." Ye Fan just shook his head: "Canglan City's predicament is not only from the outside world and itself, you also have big problems."
"Last time we parted, you promised me that you would take Canglan City further and stronger, but after such a long time, I haven't seen any changes in Canglan City."
"Others are too strong, but Canglan City is too weak..." Takimu wanted to explain, but suddenly stopped halfway through.
Ye Fan in front of her reminded her of Yuncheng.
Canglan City can't be weaker than Yuncheng at the beginning, right?
"Please teach me, Ye Wang." After realizing Ye Fan's true purpose, Takimu adjusted his attitude.
"You are too gentle and law-abiding." Ye Fan said slowly: "In troubled times, only by fighting can you get more."
"The goal of Canglan City is great. Half of the people in the world are women, and there are many strong ones among them. If you are willing, you can ask some of them for help."
"The righteous recruitment is the most moving."
"Yes." Hearing this, Long Mu's eyes lit up, but then he seemed a little embarrassed: "But even if there is help from the strong, how can Canglan City change its own weakness?"
"You..." Ye Fan showed a hint of helplessness, thought for a while, took out a book from his pocket, and handed it to Long Mu.
"Read more books."
"Ah?" Long Mu took the book and was stunned again when he saw the title.
"36 Strategies of War?"
"Will this be useful???"
