After Zhang Cheng thought for a moment, he nodded to express his agreement with Xie Zaixing's suggestion.
He understands that the current situation is urgent and only by purchasing food can they extend their chances of survival.
Although he still had concerns in his heart, facing a life and death decision, he decided to take the risk.
He said to Xie Zaixing: "Okay, let's discuss it with Chen Han first, and see if we can establish a more solid cooperative relationship with him.
We can also use this opportunity to offer our mineral resources as a means of exchange. Xie Zaixing nodded, "We have to contact Chen Han quickly while there is still food left."
Although we are encountering difficulties now, the ore we have is what they dream of.
Weichen believes that Chen Han will be willing to cooperate with us. "
The two discussed it and decided to act as soon as possible to discuss food procurement with Chen Han.
They believed that the emperor of Chen Han was not a fool.
Once Zhang Zhou is destroyed, Chen Han will not end well either!
Soon, Xie Zaixing led people to Chen Han.
The original capital of Chen and Han was in Jiangzhou, but later moved to Lingnan. Chang'an was more than a thousand miles away from the capital of Chen and Han.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth.
The person who came to greet Xie Zaixing was the most powerful general of Chen Han, Zhang Dingbian.
This person is known as the number one fierce general, so he is certainly a real person. Both his martial arts and his ability to lead troops are top-notch.
Xie Zaixing had dealt with this person when he was under Zhu Yuanzhang.
This person is indeed as capable as Xu Jinda and Tang Ding.
It was precisely because of Zhang Dingbian that Chen Han was able to repeatedly conquer cities and territories in various countries in Southeast Asia.
The two were also old acquaintances. Seeing Xie Zaixing, Zhang Ding smiled and said, "Brother Xie, we haven't seen each other for some years."
Xie Zaixing was a little embarrassed. He clearly saw the teasing look in Zhang Dingbian's eyes, "It's been a long time indeed."
"I didn't expect that when we met again, you would have already voted for Zhang Zhou!" Zhang Dingbian said sarcastically.
Xie Zaixing smiled slightly at Zhang Dingbian's teasing, but he was not passive or embarrassed because of it.
He knew that Zhang Dingbian was a shrewd and powerful opponent, but he also had his own strategies and plans.
"General Zhang is joking. The phoenix chooses the tree to rest on. I am just following the public opinion and serving Zhang Zhou to better protect the interests of the world and the people." Xie Zaixing replied firmly.
A glimmer of admiration flashed in Zhang Dingbian's eyes, and he understood that Xie Zaixing's decision was not taken lightly.
As a shrewd military general, he knew very well the pressure Chen Han faced with the rise of Daye.
"Brother Xie said it well. Good birds choose trees to roost. This is instinct and should be. In this case, I can't say anything more." Zhang Dingbian suppressed his sarcastic smile, "Although we used to have a hostile relationship , but now we can work together."
Xie Zaixing smiled slightly. He knew that Zhang Dingbian did not achieve victory solely by military means. He also showed his wisdom and strategy in the process of conquering cities and territories in the Southeast Asian countries. "That's it. Xie came here this time just to discuss an alliance with His Majesty Emperor Chen Han. I also hope that General Zhang can assist Xie. Once the matter is accomplished, Xie will be grateful."
After Zhang Ding heard Xie Zaixing's words, he smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
He knew that the situation in the Southeast Asian countries was becoming increasingly tense, and His Majesty also needed to stabilize his position and gain a strong ally for himself.
There was no way, Daye actually opened sea trade now. Along with Daye opening sea, the news that Daye occupied Tianming also spread.
And Daye spreads news on the sea to help these small countries and restore the country.
The enemies lurking in the dark are all ready to make a move.
"What Brother Xie said is true, but whether he can convince His Majesty the Emperor depends on Brother Xie's ability." Zhang Dingbian said.
Xie Zaixing nodded gratefully and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, General, for your support. Once this matter is successful, I will definitely express my gratitude."
The two went to Emperor Chen Han to discuss the matter while talking and laughing.
They all understand that only through alliance and cooperation can they protect their own interests in adversity and protect themselves from being swallowed up by the great cause.
Under the escort of Zhang Dingbian, Xie Zaixing met Emperor Chen Han, Chen Liang!
"I am here to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. I am entrusted by our Emperor to say hello to His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!" Xie Zaixing looked at Chen Liang and did not kneel down, but raised his hands in salute.
"Xie Zaixing, you and I are old acquaintances, so why should we be so polite!" Chen Liang looked a little sinister when he smiled, even more sinister than he looked in earlier years.
"This is etiquette, etiquette should not be abandoned!" Xie Zaixing said with a smile.
Xie Zaixing knew Chen Liang well and knew that this guy was a smiling tiger. If he was disrespectful in front of him, he might do something wrong.
Chen Liang nodded and smiled slightly. "You are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all!
As always, stick to your principles, good on you. "
His voice was slightly sarcastic.
Xie Zaixing glanced at Chen Liang and felt the darkness hidden behind his smile. "The minister came here with the goodwill and opportunity of Da Zhou. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to give the minister a chance. We have a plan that will be beneficial to both Da Zhou and Da Han!"
Chen Liang leaned on the throne and looked at Xie Zaixing with lightning eyes. "Tell me what your plan is."
Xie Zaixing detailed his plans, which include strengthening economic cooperation, cultural exchanges and the establishment of a military alliance between the two countries.
He emphasized that this was of great strategic significance to both the Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, as they could jointly deal with threats from external forces and promote the stability and development of both regions.
Chen Liang remained silent. After thinking for a moment, his eyes gradually turned cold. “This plan will not be easy to implement.
But if you want to sell grain from the Han Dynasty, you can’t do it without paying something! "
"Chen Han is very mountainous and lacks ore. I, Da Zhou, am willing to provide all kinds of ores for Da Han." Xie Zaixing said.
Chen Liang narrowed his eyes. The Han Dynasty did lack various types of ores, which seriously hindered the Han Dynasty's military strength.
If there is a continuous supply of ore, then they can forge more weapons to protect their homeland.
He learned from the spies' information that Daye had some powerful mysterious weapons.
It is with this mysterious weapon that Daye can regain Liaodong.
This forced him to be on guard!
"If that's the case, I would be willing to consider supporting it."
Xie Zaixing was overjoyed, knowing that he had been accepted by Chen Liang, "Your Majesty, thank you for giving us this opportunity.
We will try our best to make the plan go smoothly and ensure that the common interests of Chen Han and Da Zhou are protected to the greatest extent. "
Chen Liang glanced at Xie Zaixing, with a conspiratorial smile on his lips: "But for one pound of grain, I want a thousand pounds of ore!"
