Everything Sangnan aims for is within Xie Jue's expectations.
Xie Xun let out a furious laugh, "The thirteen cities of Jiangnan, from Liling in the southeast of Bei River to Yangzhou and Lanzhou, all under your control. Such a tiny territory, yet your ambition is boundless, wanting to take the richest thirteen cities of Yanyang. Why don't you just dream about it? It's faster to dream."
Han Ziqi, knowing Xie Xun would be angered, chuckled softly and said, "Our Sangnan contributes troops, money, and provisions. It's impossible for us to help you conquer the lands without any benefit in return. If these thirteen cities were under our governance, we would still deliver half the annual tax revenue to you, creating a co-governance model for the cities. This serves as a buffer zone for both countries—an ideal arrangement. You get your revenge; we gain land. To be frank, relying solely on the Ningzhou Iron Cavalry to defeat Zhongzhou and Jiangnan is no easy feat."
