Chapter 402: The North Sea is most lacking in water and land
Mu Jinxuan felt relieved after hearing what Jiang Dichen said. He was really worried that Jiang Dichen would take the things and refuse to acknowledge them, and would take the State of Yan into his possession.
After all, the State of Yan was in civil strife at the time, and he was unable to take care of himself and did not have much energy to deal with Jiang Dichen.
When Mu Jinxuan was about to say something to Jiang Dichen, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Mu Jinxuan, it turns out that you and Jiang Dichen have colluded. I will kill you to avenge my dead father."
As the voice fell, a group of men in black rushed towards Mu Jinxuan.
Seeing this, Jiang Dichen said to Mu Jinxuan, "The new emperor of Yan State seems to be in trouble. I will take my leave now."
After Jiang Dichen finished speaking, he bowed to Mu Jinxuan and turned to leave.
When the Second Prince of Yan saw that Jiang Dichen was about to leave, he quickly ordered his subordinates, "Come here, stop Jiang Dichen as well!"
When Jiang Dichen heard that the other party was trying to stop him, he stopped and looked at the Second Prince Yan with a half-smile and asked, "Second Prince Yan, do you think that I took too little and want to keep me to share the family property with you?"
Yan Yingyi looked at Jiang Dichen and angrily yelled, "Jiang Dichen, if you have the guts, fight me. Don't collude with Mu Jinxuan to divide up the great territory of Yan State."
Jiang Dichen was not angry after hearing what Mu Yingyi said. Instead, he asked him in a good mood, "It's not impossible for me to fight you, but what should I do if you lose?"
After Jiang Dichen finished speaking, he paused and continued, "After all, I am very busy and don't have time to play house with the idiot."
When Mu Yingyi heard Jiang Dichen calling him a mentally retarded person, he instantly became furious and said, "Jiang Dichen, if you can beat me, I will make the decision..."
Before Mu Yingyi could finish his words, Mu Jinxuan shouted at him, "Mu Yingyi, shut up!"
After he finished speaking, he said to Jiang Dichen: "King Han, Yan State is in trouble right now, I will not keep you here. If I have the chance one day, I will definitely visit you with generous gifts!"
Mu Jinxuan just wanted to get Jiang Dichen away as soon as possible so that he could deal with the civil strife in the Yan court.
After hearing what Mu Jinxuan said, Jiang Dichen stopped making things difficult for him. He stood up and said goodbye to him, "In that case, I will leave first. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye, King Han." Mu Jinxuan said to Jiang Dichen as he saw him off.
When Mu Yingyi saw Jiang Dichen leave, he looked at Mu Jinxuan and shouted angrily, "Mu Jinxuan, you Bei Ming lackey, wait and see how I deal with you today."
As soon as Mu Yingyi finished speaking, he raised his sword and rushed towards Mu Jinxuan.
Seeing how difficult Mu Yingyi was, Mu Jinxuan shouted to the guards behind him, "Come here, take the Second Prince away. No one is allowed to let him out without my order."
"Yes, Your Majesty." As soon as the guard behind Mu Jinxuan finished speaking, he started fighting with Mu Yingyi's men.
Jiang Dichen, who had already left the capital of Yan State, returned to the military camp and ordered Yan Mo, "Yan Mo, pass the order down and set off for the capital immediately."
"Yes, master." After Yan Mo finished speaking, he quickly notified everyone.
Soon, Qin Zhen, General Dong and others came to Jiang Dichen's tent and asked, "General, are we going back like this?"
They have already reached the capital of Yan State. If they return empty-handed, not only the emperor but they themselves will be vomited to death.
Jiang Dichen looked at them and asked, "Otherwise, what else do you want?"
Qin Zhen frowned and said, "General, is it appropriate for us to go back empty-handed like this?"
If they go back like this, Jiang Dichen will be protected by the emperor, and these small soldiers and generals will be scolded by the emperor.
Jiang Dichen glanced at them, threw the maps of Yan, Yu and Qing to them and said, "Who told you that I have nothing? Am I so easy to get rid of?"
With these three cities, it became more convenient for him to deal with the Xia Kingdom.
Qin Zhen took the map thrown to him by Jiang Dichen and took a look at it. When he saw that these three cities were all under the jurisdiction of Bei Ming, he was shocked.
You know, these three cities were the main source of food for the State of Yan. Now they have all been given to Bei Ming, and the loss to them is not small.
General Dong and the others also tilted their heads to take a look. When they saw a few more cities, General Dong touched his head and smiled and said, "With these three more cities, does it mean that half of Yan's territory has fallen into our hands?"
Jiang Dichen took back the map and replied to them: "No, these three cities will be exchanged for the five cities we occupied."
"Ah, the cities we fought so hard to conquer were exchanged for these few broken cities?" General Dong was immediately annoyed. He paced back and forth in the tent and said, "No, if the new emperor of Yan State doesn't give me those cities, I will attack their capital right away."
Qin Zhen was also a little confused by this sudden change, but Jiang Dichen had the final say here, and since he had already made the decision, there was no point in them refutating.
Jiang Dichen looked at General Dong who was feeling uncomfortable and said, "General Dong, do you know what Bei Ming lacks the most?"
General Dong waited for a moment and said to Jiang Dichen, "The North Sea is most in need of water and land."
Their Beiming has many mountains and little land, and there are not many rivers, so whenever there is a drought, their grain tax revenue is pitifully low, and the common people are even worse off. Many of them do not have a stable place to live, and every year they run to wherever there is water to drink, and the imperial court has no way to deal with them.
Jiang Dichen nodded to General Dong and said, "Yes, Mu Jinxuan gave me the three cities of Yan, Yu, and Qing. If we reclaim all of them and grow food, we can feed the entire Beiming. Do you still think these three cities are not enough?"
Although they conquered many cities along the way, their geographical locations were the same as those of Bei Ming. Most of them were mountain cities that were merely expanded in area and did not have much effect.
General Dong was suddenly enlightened when Jiang Dichen said this. He quickly said to Jiang Dichen, "What are we waiting for? Let's go back to the capital immediately and ask the emperor to send people to farm the land."
As a soldier, General Dong knew the importance of food, so after hearing what Jiang Dichen said, he didn't want to wait any longer.
Jiang Dichen said to everyone, "Go ahead, and try to get back to the capital before the New Year."
Speaking of the New Year, Qin Zhen also missed his wife and children. He quickly responded to Jiang Dichen, "Yes, General, I will prepare it right away."
General Dong and others also left one after another.
Lord Wu, who had been following the army, saw the big fat piece of meat within reach and didn't want to give it up. He kept saying to Jiang Dichen: "Your Majesty, the new emperor of Yan State has just ascended the throne. It's the best time to take them down. How can you return to the capital? Go and take Yan State into your pocket!"
“Your Highness…” Lord Wu followed behind Jiang Dichen and shouted to him fearlessly.
