Wu Lin looked at Tianhao's eyes and said seriously: "I am willing to help you become the supreme ruler of the entire world. This is my honor."

Tianhao laughed again: "Including dealing with mobs? You'd better think clearly before saying such words. In the eyes of many people, they are equivalent to the messengers of gods on earth."

Wu Lin also smiled: "You are the wisest king I have ever seen, and the most powerful and courageous king."

Tianhao still had a smile on his face: "Prepare and set off tomorrow morning! I will arrange personnel to contact you. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, you can ask them for help."

Wu Lin nodded with a smile.

He completely dispelled the concerns of the "betrayer". In the face of the great goal of "unifying the North", there is no concept of betrayal at all.

...

A few days later, the Tiger Clan Territory, Capital, and Blood Claw City.

Tiger Wang Yaoxian looked at the negotiation documents spread out on the table, his face extremely gloomy.

The words on the black and white paper are clearly written: the Dragon Clan and the Tiger Clan are bounded by Iron Jaw City, and the Tiger Clan pays 3,000 tons of gold and 20,000 tons of silver for the losses of the Dragon Clan in this war.

Hu Yaozong stood about three meters away from the wooden table, maintaining a stern pose with his hands hanging down, worried, occasionally raising his head slightly in tension and fear, and glanced at the tiger king who had not made any sound for a long time.

After several minutes, Hu Yao finally broke his silence: "I sent you over to talk for so long, and then I got the result of this?"

Hu Yaozong was quite guilty and whispered: "This is the best truce I have won. The Dragon Clan people have a great appetite. They want to ced half of our territory and pay another 10,000 tons of gold and 100,000 tons of silver. I tried my best to persuade the Dragon Clan Regent, and finally reduced the compensation by two-thirds."

Hu Yao looked at the document first, to be precise, at this piece of paper with a very tough and thick texture. He gently brushed his fingertips across the paper, feeling a very comfortable smoothness, not as rough as animal skins.

This is the invention of paper, the dragon tribe.

Compared with traditional animal skins, this thing has too many advantages. With only one loss, Hu Yao forced himself to choose paper and give up the animal skins.

War has changed a lot of things, and the spread of paper is one of them.

Hu Yao was a very proud person. Although he had known that the Dragon Clan had made paper, he still refused to admit and use new things from foreign clans in his subconscious.

The letter sent by the messenger Libin surprised Hu Yaoxian, not the content itself, but the paper used as a carrier of text.

In front of the ministers, it is impossible to admit that the dragon clan is better than the tiger clan.

But when I am alone and meditating, I can't help but bursts of envy, jealousy and hatred arise deep in my heart.

It is actually not difficult to do with things like paper. The Dragon tribe has opened a business in many tiger tribe cities. As long as they are willing to spend money, they can provide enough goods.

No matter any ethnic group, you need enough animal skin to write official documents as materials. With paper, you can save a lot of skin. This is a big number, which means that many civilians will wear leather robes in winter and will not be frozen to death.

Hu Yaoxian admired the inventor of paper, but when he thought that the inventor was Tianhao, the regent of the dragon clan who was his enemy, he couldn't help but grab the man, peel and tear the flesh, knock the bones and suck marrow, cut off the human head and make it into a bone bowl.

People have many desires when they live.

Hu Yao was the king of the clan, with power and money, and what he urgently needed now is reputation. Especially outside the tiger clan, he received more good reputations in other tribes that were praised by people.

Virtuous, wise, steady, wise, brave, decisive, and fortitude...

As a king, many of his needs are different from those of ordinary people. Hu Yaoxian's disgust towards Tianhao mainly comes from "this person is stronger than mine", and it can even be said to be hatred.

"Inventor of Paper" is a resounding title, a dazzling crown.

Unfortunately, they don't belong to me.

"The conditions for truce you have won?" Hu Yao first put down his negotiation contract with the seal of the Dragon Clan Regent's Seal, stared at Hu Yaozong with cold eyes, and made a sarcastic ridicule: "Why, do you think I don't know anything?"

It was almost dusk, and the setting sun shone a large shadow inside the hall. A wave of fear instantly swallowed the Hu Yaozong. He suddenly realized that Hu Yaoxian, who had a fierce look on the throne, was not just a "family junior", but was also the king of the Tiger Clan, who could decide his life and death.

"I...I...have...do my best..." Hu Yaozong was sweating profusely on his back, but he still wanted to fight for it. It was not as hope, but rather a little luck mixed with anxiety.

"Do you think the entire envoy is yours?" Hu Yaoxian said lightly: "I know everything you say and do in Bucks City."

The luck in Hu Yaozong's heart was extinguished by the irresistible wind like a candle. His thinking was changing quickly, and he hurriedly changed his tone, and hurriedly followed Hu Yaoxian's words and said: "This is not my fault, really! If Wu Lin hadn't insisted on asking for an interview with the Regent of the Dragon Clan, things would not have become like this... It was him... That's right, it was him who messed up everything, it was him who agreed to the unjust request of the Dragon Clan people."

These words never dispersed, and Hu Yaoxian on the throne also remained silent for a long time.

Of course he knew the truth. As the king, Hu Yaoxian secretly arranged people to secretly monitor everyone in the envoy. He had already learned from his confidants what happened in Bucks City that day. To be fair, Wu Lin not only did not "smash the matter" as Hu Yaozong said, but instead turned the tide and obtained the understanding of the Dragon Clan for a lower compensation amount and signed the armistice agreement.

From a fair standpoint, it goes without saying which one is black and which one is white.

However, standing in the position of "King of the Tiger Clan", Hu Yaoxian cannot be compared with the same principle in terms of thinking mode or the perspective of looking at problems.

I am no longer a young man twenty years ago... At that time, I was young and motivated, and felt that the world would change because of me. If the tiger tribe wants to be strong, it must change from the root and give more benefits to the lower class civilians. This is equivalent to redistributing social wealth and can also receive the most extensive support and support from the people.

The cruel reality taught Hu Yao a lesson first.

He never dreamed that the opposition from the aristocratic class was so strong, including the royal relatives around him. They refused to hand over the engulfed land, reported the concealed population, and refused to pay annual food taxes... In some distant cities, the nobles even shouted the slogan of "city-state autonomy".

Wu Lin told Hu Yao not to worry first. It is very simple to deal with these guys. Just send troops according to the pre-formed plan and suppress them with a strong and ruthless attitude, and kill the stubborn people in public. With the backing of a powerful military force, the reform of the tiger clan will be carried out to the end without any discount.

The superior's mind determines whether policies and regulations can be implemented.

On the two completely different issues of fierce opposition and resolute suppression, Hu Yao first chose the former. There are two reasons: one is because of family affection from the royal family, and the other is that he doubted the support of the civilian class, believing that only through the nobles can he gain power and then consolidate his power.

But not all nobles can become auxiliary forces around them that they are worth relying on.

The reason why Hu Yaozong was chosen to serve as the envoy leader of the envoy was because this man who was a "uncle" of his generation was very eloquent. In the past, many royal family banquets, Hu Yaozong could always make his mother happy and everyone from top to bottom were happy. His belly was filled with jokes, and he could talk nonstop in the face of various problems.

It was such a person who almost messed up the entire negotiation plan.

In contrast, the former national guru Wu Lin is different. If he hadn't stood up at that time and reached an agreement with the Dragon Regent, the consequences would have been...unbelievable.

Hu Yaoxian did not see the specific negotiation process, and the confidants he arranged were unable to enter the Bucks City Hall, and he did not know about the secret agreement reached between Wu Lin and Tian Hao.

But as long as you look at the results, anyone will have the idea of ​​"Wu Lin doing a good job".

There are not many choices before Hu Yaoxian.

Iron Jaw City has become the treasure of the Dragon Clan. They operated crazy there, forcibly relocated most of the local residents, and gave the people who stayed there a lot of benefits, from food to clothes. Relying on this idiot practice of desperately smashing supplies to please the civilians, Iron Jaw City turned to the Dragon Clan in a very short time, so it was difficult to install lurking people among those civilians.

Hu Yaoxian found it difficult to understand this.

They are real people of the Tiger tribe and their people!

Are you still loyal?

Are you not afraid of the tiger god's rage and disaster?

For a mere piece of steamed bun, you are willing to sell your ethnic group. Wouldn't you feel ashamed? : :

These questions are destined to be unanswered. The angry Hu Yaoxian can only calm down his emotions and face reality.

Negotiation is just a cover, and it is necessary to regain what originally belonged to you through war.

It takes time to mobilize troops, and various defensive equipment must be set up along the Pantuo River, especially heavy crossbows.

However, as time goes by, news from all aspects gradually gathered, Hu Yaoxian suddenly found that the chance of winning with the Dragon Clan was extremely small, and he might even lose more.

They had muskets and cannons, and their weapons were far more advanced than those of the Tiger Army.

The Tiger Clan can also build ships, but does not have the relevant technology to build large warships. Taking a step back, even if it can build large ships, it cannot defeat the Dragon Clan fleet through surface combat. This is a contest between artillery and stone caster. Hu Yaoxian had seen the power of white artillery in the Lock Dragon Pass. He did not think that the Tiger Clan warships that were rushed to the water can be harder than rocks. Moreover, the navy is not as good as the army. It will take at least several months from the start of training to the generation of qualified sailors.

The royal family and nobles were shouting for war all day long. Their anger was far beyond Hu Yaoxian. After all, the land and population were plundered by foreign tribes, and all kinds of losses would be imposed on them in the end. Unfortunately, loud voices do not mean that they can win. Especially those nobles who are commanders and control military power, their strength and identity are not equal, and few are truly victorious generals.

In this chaotic situation, the importance of Wulin naturally appeared. Although Hu Yaoxian was reluctant, he had to admit that looking at the entire Tiger Clan royal court, he was truly capable of helping him, giving advice from diplomacy, internal affairs, military and other aspects and changing the actual situation seemed to be the only one who seemed to be the only one who could look at the entire Tiger Clan royal court.

"You are not allowed to move to the witch forest." Hu Yaoxian sat in the shadows that were not shining in the sun, and made a gloomy and cold voice to Hu Yaozong: "I know your thoughts and your next plan. But now it is different from the past. Stop, he is my king's person."

Hu Yaozong opened his mouth and looked stunned.

The purpose of overthrowing the Wulin is the royal noble. This person has become a thorn in the eyes of the nobles. On the one hand, it is to vent his anger and revenge, and on the other hand, it is to obtain the position of "national teacher", so as to exert more influence on the tiger king Yaoxian, which is in line with the interests of the nobles.

"Your Majesty, you... would better consider it again." Hu Yaozong stepped forward. He spoke quickly and had a clear threatening element: "Wu Lin is our enemy, and he secretly colluded with the Dragon Clan this time, otherwise the Dragon Clan would not have agreed to such a significantly reduced compensation clause. There must be problems here, I think..."

"I will now appoint you as the commander of the vanguard army and lead the army to attack Tieja City." Hu Yaoxian interrupted him without hesitation and sneered: "Uncle Clan, I admit that what you said is correct. I will give you a chance to show your own abilities. You should understand that negotiations are ultimately based on the actual situation, and you will have the right to speak after winning. Now it's your turn to help you share your worries."

Hu Yaozong had no choice but to continue this. His face turned pale and realized that Hu Yaoxian was not standing on his side. Now, Hu Yaozong could even feel that there was an alternative sense of hostility towards him in the other person's body flowing slowly.

"Wu Lin is our person." Hu Yaoxian knew how to stop when he saw the good news. He sighed: "The current situation is very bad. With Wu Lin's ability, it can help us solve a lot of trouble."

Hu Yaozong understood his words, suddenly widened his eyes and asked with rapid breathing: "Your Majesty, do you want to re-appoint him as the national teacher?"

"Otherwise?" Hu Yao stared at Hu Yaozong first, as if he was looking at an idiot who knew nothing: "How about you be this national teacher, and all the problems will be left to you to deal with?"

Hu Yaozong clenched his fists tightly, and a huge humiliation rolled in his heart: "But...but..."

"Nothing is not bad." Since the decision was made, Hu Yaoxian would not delay: "Print an imperial edict and appoint Wu Lin as the national teacher, who is fully responsible for the matters related to the ceasefire with the Dragon Clan."

Hu Yaozong lowered his head dejectedly, although he was extremely reluctant, he could not reverse the reality.
