Chapter 544: Hold on a Little Longer

Pingzhou agreed to form an alliance!

Jiang Boya was a little confused about this result.

After the alliance, the conditions for Pingzhou to send troops were basically the same as what he said at the beginning, but Pingzhou did not want their promise from Nandi. They did not want any unconditional help to Pingzhou three times.

Pingzhou chose to let Nandi pay 5 million taels as military expenses for Pingzhou to send troops.

In addition, Pingzhou needed to cut a batch of wood on Zhuya Island, and Nandi needed to agree unconditionally.

Lu Songli handed the subsequent negotiations to Guo Chong.

Guo Chong said to Jiang Boya, "You know, because Pingzhou is far away from the East China Sea, the military expenses of 5 million from Nandi to pay for travel expenses and food and grass are actually not enough. We in Pingzhou also understand the difficulties of you in Nandi, so we allow you to use other materials to offset the shortage of military expenses."

With such a condition, Pingzhou was not afraid that Jiang Boya would not agree. As long as Xie Zhan still wanted to plot against Pingzhou, he would have to swallow this bitter water.

"What kind of wood do you want to cut down?" Jiang Boya asked.

"No comment on that."

Lu Songli wanted the rubber wood from Zhuya Island.

Jiang Boya took a deep breath and said, "How much do you want? You can always tell me, right? We can't let you Pingzhou cut down all the wood on Zhuya Island."

"One hundred thousand."

"Impossible, too much."

"Sima Jiang, don't be so quick to object. We want wet wood." They in Pingzhou wanted dry wood, but it takes time to dry it. The battlefield changes rapidly. In order to avoid more trouble, of course, they cut it down and drag it away.

"Okay." Jiang Boya agreed.

Guo Chong: "Then it's settled. Let's draft the covenant first, and then we will send people to Zhuya Island immediately. Give me a certificate."

Jiang Boya felt the speed of Pingzhou's work, which was really fast.

After the two sides signed the covenant, Guo Chong urged him to give a certificate.

Jiang Boya wrote a letter by hand. This letter was written to the guard of Zhuya Island. At the end of the letter, he took out the seal and stamped it.

After receiving the letter, Guo Chong looked at him.

Jiang Boya gave another slogan.

In addition to the seal, the slogan must be matched to ensure safety.

After receiving these, Guo Chong said, "As soon as the five million taels of silver arrive, we will send troops to Pingzhou immediately."

At this time, Jiang Boya took out another thing, "No need to wait, the silver is given to you, you can send troops."

Guo Chong gave him an inquiring look.

"Our master had someone deposit five million taels in Ji's bank before, and this is the withdrawal voucher. Ji Wuyin is in Pingzhou, right? You can invite him to confirm this. If it is confirmed to be true, let him directly transfer the silver to Pingzhou, can you do it?" Jiang Boya said so.

Guo Chong was silent for a while, then waved and called someone over, "Go and ask Ji Daxiu to come to the government office."

Ji Wuyin arrived soon. He quickly checked and confirmed that the token in Jiang Boya's hand was real. If the other party knew the secret code, he could take out the silver.

"Can I let you transfer this silver to Pingzhou?" Jiang Boya asked Ji Wuyin.

Ji Wuyin: "Okay."

Then Jiang Boya said to Guo Chong, "This is three million taels, for you. The next two million taels will be given after you confirm that you will send troops."

Guo Chong smiled. Everything will be easy if the money is in place.

Guo Chong and Jiang Boya promised, "We will send troops within three days."

Jiang Boya nodded gently, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lv Songli immediately asked someone to meet with Lin Shan, the deputy leader of the Cao Gang.

And Qin Heng and Qin Sheng were gathering soldiers to prepare for the expedition to the East China Sea.

During this period, Lin Shan was inspecting some of the properties he had purchased before in Pingzhou.

Hearing that Lv Songli had invited him, Lin Shan came without delay.

After Lin Shan came, Lv Songli invited him to the study, and the two sides had a secret talk.

About half an hour later, Lin Shan came out, and the whole person was in a trance. In such a short time, he negotiated a deal of two million taels of silver?

And this deal is not difficult, what's the difficulty in transporting soldiers back and forth?

He held a note of one million taels in his hand, which was a deposit given by Pingzhou. As long as he took it to the VIP room on the second floor of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Building, he could cash it. After the deal was done, Pingzhou would pay the remaining one million taels.

Lv Songli was open and honest, and her reputation had always been good. He was not worried that she would not cash it.

Bingzhou, Yanmen

After repelling the Xianbei siege army again with difficulty, Sun Congyi sat directly on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Little general, take it."

The subordinate threw a water bag over, and after Sun Congyi took it, he twisted it with trembling hands, raised his head and drank the water in big gulps, ignoring the corpse of the Xianbei barbarian who died with his eyes wide open.

The Yanmen Pass, which had just been through a battle, was in a mess, and the soldiers were extremely tired. At this time, the men in the city came to help clean up the mess spontaneously.

After a rest, Sun Congyi felt that he had recovered and went to his father.

After his father was done, he couldn't wait to ask his father, "Why hasn't the court's support come yet?"

General Sun: How would he know this?

Sun Congyi waved his hand, "Send another memorial to the court requesting support."

General Sun looked sideways, brat, dare to order his father? Who is the father and who is the son?

General Sun said, "I have sent two memorials." In addition to the first one, the court responded, saying that it was already gathering troops and asked them to hold on for a while. There was no response to the second memorial.

"Just send one more!" In the winter, Sun Congyi's heart was burning like a raging fire. He was very dissatisfied with the court's reaction. Didn't the court know that the military situation was urgent?

"Your Majesty, don't you think that with only our Sun family army of 100,000 troops, we can defend Yanmen and Daijun?" Sun Congyi's voice was hoarse, and he was exhausted just now.

General Sun Ming's face was very solemn.

"Now, the Xianbei have assembled 300,000 troops outside Yanmen Pass. Even if our Sun family army is fully equipped, one-on-one, and the entire Sun family army is wiped out, we can't destroy the other side, okay?" Sun Congyi complained, his heart was very anxious.

"Wait a little longer, maybe the reinforcements are on the way." General Sun said this to comfort his son and himself.

"I hope so." Sun Congyi sincerely hoped that the reinforcements from the court would arrive faster and faster.
