In the wilderness near Cangshan County, tents were set up one after another, and a pile of firewood was burning in the open space in the middle, and many busy figures shuttled among the tents.

At this time, the night has fallen, the sky and the earth are dark, and some stars in the night sky are twinkling slightly.

There were seven or eight people sitting in the largest tent in the camp, seeming to be discussing something important, and the atmosphere could not help but reveal a sense of awe and solemnity.

After a short pause, King An said loudly, "Okay, I agree, Mr. Xiao Song is so generous, so naturally I, a dignified prince, will not be too stingy."

After negotiating for more than half an hour, today's meeting finally had a satisfactory result. Speaking of which, this matter has no impact on him, let alone any loss.

Nowadays, there is no reason to refuse the benefits of being delivered to the door for nothing.

Don't think that a prince with a fief has inexhaustible property, then you are wrong, the higher the status, the more expensive it will be, especially as a royal child, after all, he has to support a lot People can't do anything without money.

In addition, the fief granted to him by the late emperor was not the richest, and it was a little better than the land of the Southern Man. Therefore, the salary he enjoyed was not high at all, and most of it was given to him by the people below.

But he wants to find a job, and what he is looking for is the most noble seat in the world. The great cause he wants to achieve is destined to need a steady stream of property as backing, otherwise how can such a large team support it?
Not to mention how much money the group of literati and advisers under his command cost, just the food and grass for marching and fighting is a bottomless pit, burning money every day.

If he hadn't secretly found a few rich merchants and promised them a bright future, his army might not even be able to reach the capital.

Even though the uprising has just started, he is still worried about the food and grass problem in the later period. He did not expect that there would be such a surprise now. Without affecting his plan, of course he readily accepted it.

More importantly, the people who came to deliver supplies were the Song family whom he had always admired in his heart.

As for Mr. Xiao Song's request not to start a war where there are ordinary people?In fact, it was not a problem for him at all. Besides, the Song family was willing to offer a batch of supplies in exchange, so why would he not be happy?
Speaking of which, this matter is also very beneficial to his image as King An.

After all, where is the fight with the army?
But because King An loved the people and didn't want to affect innocent people, he led troops to lure the soldiers away from the people's living areas.

Think about how touching such a move is, and how good the reputation spread is?
The reason why they released the news that they were going to attack foreign enemies was to gain the hearts of the people, and to use this to give their uprising team a more upright name.

They Anjun are fighting for the safety of the common people. Compared with the inaction of the court, isn't what he did, Chu Shengjin, more responsible and responsible for the royal family?

If such a thing spreads out, who wouldn't praise him, Wang An, who loves the people like a son?
Maybe he can use this to gain a wave of fame among the people, which can also lay a good foundation in advance for the great cause he wants to achieve in the future.

If someone else made such a request, he might just ignore it, or even sneer at it. He is a majestic King An, and he needs an outsider to make a request for how he wants to fight?
Isn't this properly challenging his dignity as a royal prince?
But Mr. Xiao Song is different. He is still a little bit jealous of their family in his heart, worried that if he offends them severely, or if he is pushed into a hurry, they will do something that will hinder his plan.

After all, if the Song family rebels and revolts, they will have an advantage over themselves. In the hearts of the people, they may appear to be one-sided to the Song family's army, right?

In addition, he has always suspected that the Song family still has a hole card, and it is probably because their family is fine that they have not revealed it now, so they are not willing to participate in the power struggle for the time being.

Don't think that the Song family who was exiled to the Southern Man will really be reduced to waste.

He didn't believe that the Song family, which once held a lot of power, didn't leave any way out. Sure enough, his guess in his heart was right, and the Song family's tail was exposed.

How long has their family been in exile?Still in Nanman, a poor place that can't even afford to grow land, how can they negotiate with themselves with such a batch of supplies?

And being able to send out a batch of supplies so easily, just to keep his army from fighting within the boundaries of Cangshan County, shows that this supply is nothing to them at all.

This is interesting!

"Thank you, King An, for your compassion. I hope the prince can win this battle and get what he wants!" Song Shaoqin stood up and cupped his hands.

"Hahaha~ Then I will borrow Mr. Xiao Song's auspicious words." Wang An suddenly burst into laughter. He loved hearing these words, and he also hoped that this battle would win the army in one fell swoop, and completely defeat his king An. reputation.

After sending Wang An and his party away, Song Shaoqin put away the smile on his face, took a sip from the teacup casually.

"What's the matter? Shaoqin, what did King An say?"

Seeing Wang An and his party leave, Song Anbang couldn't help but look for him. Although he was also the leader of the team this time, his identity was always a problem.

Although King An may have guessed in his heart that he fled to Baiyun Village with his father and uncle, but so what?As long as you don't see people with your own eyes, it's not a fact.

The Song family will not admit to things without clear evidence.

This is why the few of them try not to go out, and even if they go out of the village, they should try to avoid people who know them well.

Song Shaoqin said slowly, "Of course he is very happy. We are sending you real food. This is good for him and not harmful. He can't refuse."

The condition he negotiated with King An this time was that the Song family would provide them with two thousand catties of staple food for free. Of course, he couldn't be so stupid as to give them rice and white noodles, but two thousand catties of potatoes.

After all, their village started to grow a crop of potatoes a few years ago, and they blamed it on the village's grain storage. Of course, he also knew that Wang An would definitely have doubts in his heart, but at least their excuses made sense on the surface. Anyway, Wang An It is also unclear how many potatoes are harvested in their village.

This is their greatest concession and kindness. Except for potatoes, they do not intend to provide other supplies to King An's army. Drive the Rong army out of the Eastern Chu territory.

Compared with the dislike of the Eastern Chu Dynasty, they hate the Rong people who invaded their own land!
