138: They are all drama queens

Lin Yue hummed a tune all the way to General Wang Li's main tent.

After announcing his name, he walked in.

Upon seeing Lin Yue enter, Wang Li asked, "How did it go? Did it not work out? Don't be discouraged; negotiations aren't successful in a single day. If not, we can continue discussing tomorrow."

"You still have some conscience," Lin Yue thought to himself, then cupped his hands and smiled, "This humble general has not failed in his mission!"

Wang Li picked up a teacup, blew on it, and then said with some surprise, "That fast? What was the final conclusion of the discussion?"

"Five million warhorses, and four million cattle and sheep each!" Lin Yue said with a smile.

This was the result he obtained after a long period of haggling with Elder Aikala.

Great Qin currently lacks cavalry, so he set the number of warhorses higher and the number of cattle and sheep lower.

After all, the Xiongnu people, a major hidden danger, had not yet been eliminated, so military matters now outweighed civilian life!

"What! How many?" Wang Li spat out all the tea he had just put into his mouth!

"Five million warhorses, and four million cattle and sheep each!

Among them, Yellow-tier quality warhorses must not be less than one and a half million!

They are to be sent to the Shang Commandery border within half a month, but Elder Aikala said that you must first withdraw the Army, lest they be robbed by Qin Army soldiers on the way." Lin Yue repeated it again.

Horses of excellent quality could already be used as warhorses, but Lin Yue also stipulated the number of Yellow-tier quality warhorses to form some elite cavalry and replenish his White Horse Righteous Cavalry!

After all, the White Horse Righteous Cavalry suffered significant casualties this time. If Aikala only provided ordinary or excellent warhorses, his White Horse Righteous Cavalry would have no way to be replenished!

"That many!" Wang Li shot up and asked!

Five million warhorses!

Even if the Great Wall Legion received one-tenth, that would be enough for each Army in the Great Wall Legion to add twenty thousand cavalry! Twenty thousand cavalry was the previous number of cavalry per Army in the Great Wall Legion!

Moreover, he, Wang Li, was the one who spearheaded the Wuluoli affair. His six armies would definitely receive many warhorses!

Wang Li was overjoyed, chuckling foolishly to himself, his face showing a doting, idiotic expression.

"Bumpkin, aren't you almost drooling too? You criticized me earlier?" Lin Yue muttered to himself, then timely reminded Wang Li, "General, This humble general has finished the negotiations. For the subsequent handover and other matters, please General make arrangements!"

"Good, good, good!" Wang Li snapped back to attention and laughed, then walked over and patted Lin Yue's shoulder, saying, "You've really worked hard, Lin Yue. She Jian is truly fortunate to have you! You've talked with Aikala for so long; you must be exhausted. Go rest quickly!"

"Yes!" Lin Yue cupped his hands and exited the main tent.

Anyway, his merits could not be erased. Lin Yue did not want to interfere with the remaining matters. If he ate the meat, he had to let others have some soup, didn't he?

Lin Yue returned to his barracks. Wuluoli saw him walk in and asked, "How did it go?"

"It's settled. Once the supplies are delivered, you can leave.

Elder Aikala said it would take about half a month, so you'll have to endure a little longer." Lin Yue said.

"How many warhorses and cattle and sheep are needed?" Wuluoli asked.

"Guess?" Lin Yue smiled. He could now confirm that when Wuluoli mentioned a million earlier, he was truly putting on an act. He felt that three hundred thousand warhorses and cattle and sheep were too few, fearing that the Qin Army would realize this and tear up the treaty, increasing unnecessary risks.

So he put on an act for him, deliberately setting a number that was neither too big nor too small, just in case he made an exorbitant demand!

He thought Lin Yue would directly say the number one million, and even if Lin Yue deliberately asked for more, the final result wouldn't be much more than one million.

But he didn't expect that by an odd coincidence, Lin Yue extended one finger, causing Elder Aikala to misunderstand, and in the end, gave Lin Yue so much!

Indeed, wherever there is a Sleeping Dragon, there must be a Young Phoenix, Lin Yue lamented in his heart.

If he were to reveal the true number, Wuluoli's heart would probably bleed. If it were too little, it might not prove his value, and his subordinates would leave him.

Now that it was more, he wasn't afraid that others would vent their anger on him.

It really was a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice!

"Hmph, if you don't want to say, then don't. When can I meet Aikala?" Wuluoli pouted dismissively and asked.

He couldn't help but despise Lin Yue, truly a bumpkin. At most, he would ask for one and a half million. Aikala was a famous Intelligence of the Xiongnu people and would definitely not give him too much.

This small number of warhorses and cattle and sheep, and he was still hiding it from him. Indeed, the Qin People were far less generous than the Xiongnu people!

Lin Yue acted as if he didn't see Wuluoli's expression, but instead said with a smile, "Once the first batch of warhorses and cattle and sheep arrive, you two can meet. For now, you should rest well."

Lin Yue then stood up to leave but was stopped by Wuluoli, who said, "Can you let me see Wang Li?"

"What do you need General Wang Li for?" Lin Yue asked suspiciously.

"Your rank is too low; you're not worthy of knowing. You just need to convey that I want to see him." Wuluoli had a calm expression.

But Lin Yue couldn't stand his demeanor and directly turned to walk out!

"Wait!" Wuluoli shouted, but seeing Lin Yue ignore him, he couldn't help but anxiously say, "I'll tell you!"

"My rank isn't high enough!" Lin Yue walked out of the barracks without looking back, letting Wuluoli call out from behind.

Lin Yue then returned to his temporary barracks and began cultivating the Killing God Art!

He only stretched his muscles and bones when the sun was about to set!

In this battle, he actually gained 2 points in Martial Power. Indeed, this kind of practical combat, hovering on the brink of life and death and draining one's physical strength, is the fastest way to increase Martial Power!

Moreover, the Killing God Art had also cultivated to 93% of the second layer. When he broke through from the first layer, he gained the skill Art of Recognizing People, which was of immense help to him. He wondered if he would be rewarded with another skill after this breakthrough!

Lin Yue walked towards Wuluoli's barracks. The moment he pushed open the door, Wuluoli immediately sat up!

"Don't go, I'll tell you!" Wuluoli immediately shouted.

"I'm sorry, my rank isn't high enough." Lin Yue smiled, closed the door with both hands, and backed out. As soon as he turned around, he heard the sound of a cup shattering!

"I can't deal with a little brat like you?" Lin Yue thought to himself. In later generations, Wuluoli would only be of junior high or just entering high school age. Although he feigned calmness and had some cunning, he was still a bit naive.

Moreover, he was almost deceived by his performance and almost became a sinner!

"Why are people so fond of acting now? They've all become drama queens," Lin Yue thought. Wang Li and his five top generals were acting for him, and Wuluoli was also acting for him. Could it be that he was the best audience?

He shook his head, shaking these strange thoughts out of his mind. He wasn't an audience; he was the protagonist!

Then he smiled and went back to cultivate The Art of War!

After all, Martial Power and Command must develop together!

Only then can he become the ultimate male protagonist!
