Isn't negotiation just a process of bargaining? But if the king of hell has a fixed price and no bargaining is allowed, what is the point of talking? Normally, Li Yan turned around and left, but this time, he sat still in his chair.
He moved. After a long time, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Iron Superintendent, are you being too insincere when you talk like this?"
Tie Mo shrugged disapprovingly and said with a smile: "Is there any problem? I am already very sincere and told you the bottom line when I came up. Isn't this a good thing?"
Li Yan's heart was beating so hard that it almost jumped out of his chest. Is this called sincerity? Is this called the bottom line? Is your bottom line set too high? Li Yan can't control himself and always wants to hit others.
He was impulsive, but when facing Tie Mo, he had to talk patiently. If he had used Xu Changlu's incident to win a small battle, he could have exerted pressure, but he suffered another boring loss, which made him Li Yan
There is no confidence in negotiating.
"Superintendent, the bargaining chip you asked for is a bit too heavy. All the supplies are left behind, so what will our army eat and drink? Hundreds of thousands of our army's brothers traveled through South Zhili and Zhejiang, and so many people were lost.
, Are you going back to the Central Plains empty-handed?" Li Yan said, gradually becoming a little nervous. Tie Mo and Xu Hongji listened quietly. After Li Yan finished speaking, Tie Mo curled his lips rudely, "How many of you have died?
, what does it have to do with the Superintendent? Do you think this Superintendent wants too much bargaining chip? Humph, this Superintendent and Mr. Xu have worked tirelessly and moved around in many ways, and have also lost many brothers. Asking for something from you is too much.
?If you dare to talk nonsense again, do you believe that I will order the bombardment of Straw Hat Slope now?"
After a pause, Tie Mo sneered, "You might as well try and see how many of you can leave Nanzhili alive under the strong defense of our army, and how much supplies can you take away?"
Tie Mo's voice was full of energy and confidence. Seeing that Li Yan was speechless, he continued to work harder, "If this governor didn't want to lose too many troops and ruin the foundation of Yun Mansion, do you think I would be willing to follow
Do you talk?"
Li Yan's scalp was numb. From the beginning to the end, he felt that he was not here to negotiate, but to be a grandson. After talking for a while, he didn't talk much about the main topic. He just listened to the lectures of the Living King of Hell. The clay figurine still has three points of blood, let alone
It was Li Yan. He stood up and said with a cold face: "Superintendent, are you negotiating? The lives of your soldiers are important, but the lives of our soldiers are not. We worked so hard to get it."
I leave all my things to you, how is this possible?"
"Oh, you still have a temper." Tie Mo rolled his eyes, pointed at Li Yan, and said with a disdainful smile: "Okay, let's not talk about it then. You go back and tell Gao Yingxiang to prepare for a breakout and see if he can
If you can't leave alive, let's see how much you can take away. I will release the defenders of Mopan Camp and see how long you can hold out under the artillery fire. Hey, just on the road to Mopan Camp, I will still
I don’t believe it…”
There was really no way to talk anymore. Li Yan clenched his fists, wishing he could jump up and fight Tie Mo for three hundred rounds. Isn't this a negotiation? Isn't it a street quarrel and swearing? But, Li Yan had to calm down and live like the king of hell.
The words are very irritating, but they hit the target of the rebels. As long as artillery blocks a section of the Mopan Camp road, the rebels will definitely have to pay a heavy price if they want to rush over.
The most terrible thing is, can you believe the words of the living King of Hell? He said that he would not send Yunfu soldiers and horses to fight head-on. But once the artillery makes significant progress, can the wolf-like and tiger-like Yunfu cavalry miss the opportunity to beat the drowned dog? After the rout.
How far can the rebel leaders escape? Li Yan is not afraid, but Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng are definitely not willing to take this risk easily.
Seeing that the negotiation was a bit stiff, Xu Hongji coughed twice and slammed the table, "Huh? What is this for? Can we still talk?" As he spoke, Xu Hongji stared at Li Yan with his eyes.
It seemed to mean that if you don't want to talk, just go back and think about it again. Faced with Tie Mo and Xu Hongji's chorus, Li Yan was really forced into the corner, spit out his breath, and sat down again with a dark face.
Seeing that Li Yan hadn't left, Xu Hongji felt happy in his heart, but there was a look of embarrassment on his face, "Hey, Li Xin... Oh, Li Yan, you might as well think more about what Iron Governor just said,
If I and the Superintendent let you go, it would be a huge risk. As long as you have those supplies, it will be fine. If a fight really breaks out, do you think you can take away the supplies? Moreover, taking those supplies with you will also be a drag.
Marching speed. Isn’t the fundamental reason why your hundreds of thousands of troops were trapped on Straw Hat Slope because of the amount of supplies that day?”
Xu Hongji's words were sincere and well-founded. In fact, Li Yan also understood this truth. If it weren't for dragging so many supplies, the rebels could have bypassed Jiuhua Mountain from the east, or even passed directly through Jiuhua Mountain. But
Because they were dragging so much supplies, the army could only take a winding road. In the end, they were plotted by the Living King of Hell and ended up in this situation today.
The huge amount of material wealth is a serious drag, but how can we be willing to throw it all to the Living King of Hell and Xu Hongji at once? Nearly 200,000 troops entered South Zhili and Zhejiang and spent a long time to rob things for the Living King of Hell? Co-author
So many people were killed by the Living King of Hell before, and in the end they had to give away the stolen supplies to the other party. How could I accept this reality in my heart?
Li Yan remained silent. Xu Zhixin tapped the table with her finger and reminded: "If you still can't make up your mind, you might as well send someone to Mopan Camp to try and see how our army's defense is doing?"
Li Yan's eyes widened immediately, and he was breathless. He had lost 40,000 people before, and the day before yesterday, he was killed by artillery fire and Yunfu cavalry, killing more than 6,000 people. He also polished the Pan camp. Is there something wrong with his head? In short, Xu Zhixin Yue
That being said, Li Yanyue didn't dare to do this. Now Li Yan was almost 100% sure that the Living King of Hell had enough cannonballs, otherwise the three people in the house would not be so fearless.
Three hours passed in a hurry, and Li Yan still failed to give a clear attitude. At night, the negotiation broke up. The night was as cold as water, especially this night in Jiuhua Mountain. The wind was very strong, which made people feel slightly chilled.
Li Yan was not sleepy at all. He sat in front of the desk and wrote furiously. During the day, he had already made a decision in his heart, but there were some things that he could not decide with just one word. The bottom line of the Living King of Hell was spoken out immediately.
What's Wang's bottom line?
A letter was sent to the camp. Regarding this matter, Tie Mo and Xu Hongji were happy to see it. After all, the material matter was too important and Li Yan could not make the decision. Only Gao Yingxiang could make a decision on this matter. At dawn, the letter
We arrived at Straw Hat Slope. At this time, there was a haze within a ten-mile radius of Straw Hat Slope. Many people drooped their heads listlessly. As long as you get close to Straw Hat Slope, you can feel a strong sense of decadence and despair.
Be it Gao Yingxiang or Li Zicheng, the big bosses on Straw Hat Slope are all waiting for news from Li Yan. Lu Weiliang and Wang Yan took their soldiers and horses to Mopan Camp to show up, but they were beaten to death for six seconds.
There were more than a thousand people, and Gao Yingxiang and others were beaten to the point of losing their temper. At the moment, from Gao Yingxiang to Lei Ren, who was on the spot below, they no longer had the idea of storming Mopan Camp. In short, we should talk as much as possible, and talk as soon as possible
, what else is more important than life?
After waiting and waiting, the news finally came. When he opened the letter, Gao Yingxiang felt his eyes flashing and his head was buzzing. If it weren't for Li Zicheng's quick eyesight and quick hands, he would have been lying on the ground. For a while, Gao Yingxiang grinned with a sad smile on his face.
, "Okay, that's great. This living King of Hell really dares to open his mouth... Look, this is the message from Li Yan... How dare he?"
Li Zicheng and others couldn't help but roll their eyes inwardly and sighed secretly. That's the King of Hell, and what else does he dare not do? He took the letter from Gao Yingxiang and circulated it. Leaders, look at me. Let me see.
Looking at you, the other person's eyes are full of despair and bitterness.
To keep all the material wealth, the living hell king really dared to open his mouth, but Li Yan did not dare to bargain. Do you blame Li Yan? I really can’t blame him. If you want to blame, you can only blame the Straw Hat Slope gang for not living up to expectations. Before, Xu Changlu
What a great opportunity to escape. As long as he took the opportunity to fight in Mopan Camp, he didn't have to win. He could be evenly matched, and Li Yan had the confidence to compete with the Living King of Hell. But in the end, he was beaten to pieces by the officers and soldiers of Mopan Camp.
A, the army is defeated.
For a moment, no one in the room said anything, and all looked at Niu Jinxing in front of him. Niu Jinxing's scalp was numb, and he cursed in his heart. You didn't say what you had in mind, and pushed me out to push the cylinder. But, Wang
Yan was not very discerning, so he actually stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Niu has a great strategy and is very resourceful. You might as well tell us what we should do."
If there was no one else around, Niu Jinxing would dare to slap Wang Yan from the rafters, this idiot. This is not the time to show off his cleverness. Is it someone Niu Jinxing who can decide such a thing? Niu Jinxing didn't even pay attention to it.
Wang Yan turned to look at the silent Gao Yingxiang, "My subordinate is stupid, please let King Chuang make the final decision."
Gao Yingxiang glanced at everyone, and then looked at Niu Jinxing seriously. Alas, everyone was silent, but they were already talking. Sometimes, silence is the answer.
After thinking about it carefully, Gao Yingxiang slowly stood up and said with a heavy heart: "As you know, money is something external to the body. Those things were originally stolen. If there is no other way, there is nothing wrong with giving them to the living King of Hell. Even though those things are good, they will eventually be stolen.
It’s nothing compared to the lives of our brothers. As long as everyone can leave Nanzhili alive, those things can be snatched back.”
Gao Yingxiang's words were sincere and touching. Niu Jinxing quickly stood up, cupped his hands, and said gratefully: "King Chuang cares about the lives of our brothers. This is really a blessing for us. We will follow King Chuang to the death and have no regrets in this life!"
Li Zicheng and others followed suit, and they all stood up and said in unison: "We will follow King Chuang to the death, and we will have no regrets in this life!" The voice was loud and neat, and almost overturned the roof. Outside the house, there were minions who didn't know what was going on.
We looked around the room and wondered what had happened. The leaders were so excited.
Now that some things have been decided, we can't wait. In this place, Straw Hat Slope, staying for one more day will be more dangerous. After the negotiation is completed, how to leave is also a problem. The Living King of Hell is not stupid, he can't really let Mopan go.
The army of the battalion got out of the way and watched as hundreds of thousands of rebels passed by. If he did that, the court would not let him go, and the emperor would not let him go either.
On the other side, Li Yan, who was anxiously waiting for a reply, kept his eyes closed in the room to rest. After receiving Gao Yingxiang's reply, he smiled bitterly and sighed. Although he had known it for a long time, he was still a little disappointed when he actually got this result.
After all, those people just want to survive. They can survive, but they don't care about the lives of their brothers.
Even if the living King of Hell agrees to let the rebels leave, he will definitely do it on the surface. He will let the leaders go, but those soldiers will have to suffer some losses, otherwise the Living King of Hell will not be able to deliver a message to the court. Li Yan knows this well.
, the leaders knew what was going on, and the Living King of Hell knew even better. He packed up his mood and fell asleep, just waiting for the final negotiations tomorrow.
The next day, the sun was warm in the early morning. Li Yan adjusted his robe and found Tie Mo and Xu Hongji again. This time the conversation went smoothly. In less than half an hour, the secret meeting had a perfect result. Li Yan
After leaving the camp, it was time to see how the show would go on. Gao Yingxiang and others did not dare to play tricks. If they dared to play tricks, if the officers and soldiers of Mopan Camp showed their power, the lives of the leaders would be praying to the sky.
.
On the 27th of February in the fourth year of Chongzhen, more than 100,000 peasant troops entrenched in the Caomaopo area suddenly moved northeast. They divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right, and quickly approached the northeastern defense area of Jiuhua Mountain. And here, exactly
This is where Xu Changlu is responsible.
When he learned that the rogue bandits were coming to attack in large numbers, Xu Changlu was completely frightened. There were hundreds of thousands of rogue bandits. What could he use to fight against them? The key point was why the border troops at Mopan Camp did not move. Run away, this was Xu Changlu's first reaction, but
He ran away without even fighting. If he returned to Nanjing, even if his uncle was there to protect him, Xu's life would be over.
With no other choice, Xu Changlu could only fight hard, and at the same time, more than a dozen official documents were quickly sent to Nanjing. Don't think that Xu Changlu was a bit stupid, but he could still see some things clearly. The border army made it clear that they had some understanding of what happened before.
What’s your opinion? In normal times, the border troops at Mopan Camp would have already sent troops.
Xu Changlu believed that he was unable to order Cao Wenzhao, so he could only hope that Nanjing would put pressure on the border troops.
However, there were some things that Xu Changlu did not expect, that is, the peasant army's attack was too fast. Just after noon, Wang Yan's vanguard troops launched a fierce attack on the place Xu Changlu was defending. At the same time, Niu Jinxing commanded the emergency troops to build
The catapults were thrown into the defense area. In less than an hour, Xu Changlu's defense area was riddled with holes, and even worse, some had already begun to flee.
Xu Changlu tried hard to persevere, but collapse often occurred in an instant.
The defeat was coming. Xu Changlu watched in despair as countless bandits poured in. Finally, he sighed and fled to the northeast with the defeated troops.
Xu Changlu escaped, but the frontier troops at Mopan Camp began to take action. If Xu Changlu knew about it, he would be furious to death. This clearly meant that Xu Changlu was trapped to death.
