Zhao Lang was still thinking about it, but Chen Sheng had already walked in with the envoy of the King of Chu.

Although he was a little strange at this way of meeting, the messenger still said in a very respectful manner,

"The envoy from the King of Chu has met the farmer leader!"

Hearing the salutes of several people, Zhao Lang stopped thinking about it. Now he was thinking about how to get more money and materials from King Chu, which was the most important thing.

The messenger quickly stated his request again. Zhao Lang thought about it in his mind for a while and quickly said,

"The King of Chu wants the peasants of Yunmengze to surrender, which is fine, but what does the King of Chu want in exchange?"

"Those positions will be eliminated. The Xiang family is so powerful that we can't fight with them yet."

The envoy was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the head of the farm family could be so straightforward and direct.

He quickly replied,

"In addition to the title of Da Chu, the King of Chu said that he still has some money, food and grass that can be given to the leader."

Most of Chu's current money is in the hands of the Xiang family.

But there were still some nobles who were loyal to the Chu royal family and were willing to listen to the King of Chu's orders privately and contribute money.

After all, hundreds of years of rule can always cultivate some die-hard loyalists.

"In addition, there are some manpower..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Zhao Lang quickly said,

"There is no need for manpower. If the King of Chu has any orders, just tell us. In the name of the head of the farm, I guarantee that those who can do it will definitely be seated."

Hearing this, the envoy's face showed a hint of joy. As long as the farmers in Yunmengze agreed to surrender, it would already be an extremely important achievement.

What's more, others also made promises in the name of the leader of farmers.

Although this promise has some restrictions, it is much better than Xiang's!

So he quickly agreed,

"Just as the leader said! We will send the army's supplies and money within a few days."

Zhao Lang was slightly surprised,

"How can it be so fast?"

The messenger replied with some caution,

"The list of these things has been prepared for a long time. All I need to do is make a mark with the token as a token and send it to me as a reply."

Zhao Lang showed a smile, but these people still had some concerns.

After groping in his arms for a while, he took out the jade pendant of the head of the farm family and said,

"No problem, just bring the list and I'll make a mark for you."

Soon, Zhao Lang reached an agreement with several people.

After receiving this guarantee, several envoys immediately left here and headed towards Wuzhong.

They should have gone back to resume their lives long ago.

Looking at the backs of several envoys leaving, Zhao Lang sighed slightly.

"Chief, we have received much-needed supplies, why are you sighing?"

Chen Sheng asked a little confused.

The farmers are in short supply right now, so they should be happy to have someone who has been taken advantage of.

Zhao Lang clicked his lips and said with some regret,

"Most of the money and supplies of the Chu State are in the hands of the Xiang family. With the little things the King of Chu has, we can barely survive the winter."

Thinking of this, Zhao Lang felt a little regretful again,

"If I had known better, I wouldn't have killed Xiang Liang. Xiang's price would have been much higher."

"such a pity."

Chen Sheng on the side stopped talking. His leader's appetite was too big.

"That's all, how can everything go as planned in this world? Chen Sheng, please tell me in detail what happened to Yun Mengze during this period."

Zhao Lang looked at the direction the envoy left and said to Chen Sheng.

At this time, after the envoy left Yunmengze, he started galloping all the way.

But just after leaving Yun Mengze's control, a cavalry blocked their way.

When the messenger saw the other party, he didn't hesitate at all and ran away.

But it was already too late.

The other party had already prepared an ambush, and within a quarter of an hour, all the envoys were killed.

Soon, the messenger's cloth bearing the mark of the head of the peasant family was also found.

Then he was sent to an old man by a strong man, and he said with great admiration,

"Mr. Fan, as you expected, the King of Chu is also in contact with Yunmengze's farmers. It seems that they have reached an agreement."

This group of people is none other than Xiang Zhuang and others.

Fan Zeng looked at the cloth in his hand and said calmly,

"The King of Chu is really willing to give up. This is almost all his property."

"If I hadn't sent the messenger over in advance to set up my eyes, he would have succeeded."

"But now, one thing is certain, the leader of the farm family is in Yunmengze!"

"Hmph, there is no need to contact Chen Sheng this time. We can directly negotiate with the farmer leader!"

"Send this cloth to Yunmengze!"

Xiang Zhuang hesitated for a moment and said,

"Sir, will we offend the head of the farm family by doing this?"

"Moreover, King Zhao should have arrived at Yunmengze by now. How should we respond?"

Fan Zeng laughed and said with great confidence,

"It doesn't matter, I just want to put this pressure on him!"

"You have also seen along the way that although the farmers have many people, they are short of supplies. Otherwise, they would not have formed an alliance with the King of Chu just for these things."

"As for King Zhao, he himself is short of supplies, how can he compare with us?"

"This time, I will give the head of the farm family three times the amount of supplies as the King of Chu! This is coercion and inducement! Even the head of the farm family must succumb to us!"

Listening to Fan Zeng's plan, Xiang Zhuang's eyes were full of admiration and he was completely convinced.

No wonder my uncle had to go and invite Fan Zeng in person that time. Such a talented person is really something you want but don’t ask for!

It seems that within just a few dozen days, the farmers have already been included in their pockets.

With Fan Zeng here, the Xiang family has nothing to worry about!

Fan Zeng directly handed the blood-stained cloth to the messenger and said,

"Send a message to Yun Mengze!"

Soon, a fast horse headed towards Yun Mengze.

At this time, Zhao Lang was looking at the information in front of him with a confused expression.

"There are 150,000 farmers and only enough food for three months?"

Zhao Langren was numb. He had expected that Yun Mengze's condition was not good, but he didn't expect that it would be so bad!

The result of the sudden increase in the number of people is insufficient food.

Although the land is being reclaimed, the time is too short. If we really want to be completely self-sufficient, I'm afraid it won't be until the autumn of next year.

Wood is easy to talk about, there are trees everywhere now.

Chen Sheng grabbed the corners of his clothes uncomfortably and replied,

"Chief, this food is enough for the winter, as long as you don't starve to death anyway."

"How can you be like Zhuangzi, who has enough to eat every day?"

Zhao Lang's requirements are different from his.

Zhao Lang sighed,

"If there is no other way, then it can only be like this, but ordinary people will get over it after a few hits."

"What about the old people, the children, and the farmers who are responsible for fighting?"

Chen Sheng hesitated and said,

"The farmers responsible for fighting naturally provide food alone to ensure their combat effectiveness."
