The first thousand eight hundred and sixty-two chapters reached an agreement
Now Prince Yanyang is more powerful!
This sentence suddenly stimulated Wu Lie's nerves. His expression tensed up and his heart was filled with confusion.
He knew that what the other party was saying was just to protect his own interests, but he had to admit that there was some truth in what he said.
He really does not have much influence on the Yehu clan, otherwise Zeguo would suddenly send troops to Languo, and he would not have received any news beforehand.
The interests of so many counties in the Lan Kingdom are too huge. The Yehu ancestor is different from Chen Yi. Chen Yi cannot switch to Prince Yanyang because of the Qiankun Society, but the Yehu ancestor can do it at any time.
If Prince Yanyang agrees to give the interests of so many counties in the Lan Kingdom to the Ze Kingdom, the Yehu Ancestor will definitely turn to him.
Is it possible for Prince Yanyang to do this?
This is definitely possible, because the Lan Kingdom has always been his territory, and Prince Yanyang does not have much interest here. How cost-effective it is to exchange a Lan Kingdom for the support of the Ze Kingdom.
If things really get to that point, he would have shot himself in the foot by asking Pei Guo to retreat. Not only did he fail to save Lan Guo, but it actually made Yan Yang stronger!
The more Wu Lie thought about it, the uglier his face became. He realized that the man in front of him really had a sharp tongue and was always able to convince himself.
No, it’s not that he is good at talking, but that he single-handedly guided the situation and forced me to follow his choice!
The thought of becoming emperor in his heart finally overcame all other emotions such as anger and frustration. Wu Lie took a few deep breaths and said, "Ten counties! Pei Guo can get ten counties!"
"I have already said that the territory was obtained by the soldiers of Pei State with their lives and cannot be returned." Gu Chen said coldly.
"Are you leaving only two counties in the Lan Kingdom? In that case, what's the difference between the Lan Kingdom and its destruction? If you don't make the slightest concession, anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that the Pei Kingdom is not under my control at all, so what else do I have?
Is there any face to speak of?”
"Marquis Makino is my cousin. If I can't give him an explanation, even he will turn his back on me! As for other forces, they will think that my prestige is gone. Why should I fight for the throne?"
"If I lose the throne and Yanyang comes to power, won't you, Peiguo, have to spit out everything you eat? You and I will both prosper and suffer. If you don't make the slightest concession, then we might as well die!"
Wu Lie said angrily, Gu Chen was completely challenging his bottom line.
Seeing that Wu Lie had no choice but to retreat, Gu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Both counties, Pei State can return them."
Wulie needed him to make concessions, which he had already considered. He had insisted on his words before just to fight for the best interests.
At the same time, with the current national strength of Pei State, it is not easy to digest the fourteen counties. The pace is too big. If there are any problems in these counties in the later stage, the gains will not be worth the losses.
Therefore, it is a good choice to spit out the two counties that have no time to operate in exchange for Wu Lie's continued cooperation.
"Two counties are not enough, let's have four!" Wu Lie's expression softened a little, and the other party was finally not greedy to the end.
Gu Chen shook his head and said, "I can come forward in Zeguo and ask the ancestor of Yehu to hand over one county. In this way, plus the two counties returned by Peiguo, Languo still has five counties. It's enough."
"Are Zeguo willing to spit it out?" Wu Lie's eyes flashed when he heard this.
He thought more. If Zeguo was willing to obey Chen Yi's arrangement, it meant that Zeguo might also become his camp.
As if he knew what he was thinking, Gu Chen's next words made Wu Lie finally feel a little happier.
"It won't be a big problem if I open my mouth. Ancestor Yehu will agree. As long as Brother Wu Lie agrees to this arrangement, I will also find a way to persuade Ancestor Yehu and let him express his support for you."
"In this way, Pei, Lan and Ze have become Brother Wu Lie's strong backing. Why should Brother Wu Lie be worried?"
Wu Lie's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. If Zeguo could really make his position clear, his face would be saved, and it would even be more helpful to the overall situation.
The only one who suffered huge losses was Marquis Makino of the Arashi Kingdom, and the Arashi Kingdom would fall into the weakest kingdom among the Seven Kingdoms.
But this is not irreparable. When he comes to power in the future, there will be more opportunities to settle old accounts with Pei Guo and help Lan Guo seek justice!
Wu Lie quickly made a decision, but he was still a little worried and asked, "Can you really make the ancestor of the wild fox agree to support me? That guy is an out-and-out old fox. I have tested his tone many times before.
But he is an impeccable person who always remains neutral to the outside world."
"Zeguo was able to remain neutral before because they had no desires. But now that they have swallowed up so much of Languo's territory, it is impossible for them to remain neutral. If they don't make a choice between the two princes, their interests will be absolute.
I can’t keep you, Yehu Ancestor is a smart man, he will not fail to understand this.”
"In addition, Peiguo and Zeguo are at loggerheads, and Peiguo has expressed its support for you. Zeguo will not sacrifice the near and far away to form an alliance with Prince Yanyang, right?"
Gu Chen was talking eloquently, but there were some things he didn't finish.
If the Yehu Ancestor really doesn't think highly of Wu Lie and doesn't want to express his support for him, he can still force him to agree.
It's just that there's no need to do that unless absolutely necessary, that's one of his trump cards.
"Well, let's do as you say. The nights are long and the dreams are many, so implement it as soon as possible!"
Wu Lie felt relieved after hearing this. Although this meeting was not his most ideal outcome, it was still acceptable.
After the two discussed the matter, Wu Lie withdrew from Shenyoufang City.
Gu Chen was not in a hurry to leave. This was the second world he had come into contact with, and it was necessary to verify some of his previous guesses.
He quietly came to the edge of Shenyoufang City, and when there was no one around, he flicked his finger, and a piece of sky-tangled silk at his fingertips immediately broke through the invisible spiritual boundary and extended into the misty land of nothingness!
Seeing this, Gu Chen smiled, feeling the speed and consumption of Tian Cangsi moving forward in the void, and it took him a long time to take Tian Cangsi back with satisfaction.
After that, he left Shenyoufang City and returned to the real world.
Immediately, he came to Zeguo's military camp and told the Yehu Ancestor the results of his negotiations with Wu Lie.
Just as Wu Lie expected, Gu Chen also hoped to completely tie Zeguo to Peiguo.
Although the two countries had previously said they would advance and retreat together, Zeguo always had a way out.
But once the Yehu Ancestor publicly announced his support for Wu Lie, he had no way out and was truly tied to the same boat as Pei Guo.
After telling the pros and cons to the Yehu Ancestor, Gu Chen thought it would take a lot of talking to convince him, but he didn't expect the Yehu Ancestor to agree readily.
"Brother Chen has given me such great benefits to Zeguo. Of course we, Zeguo, will advance and retreat with Peiguo. There is no problem in supporting Prince Wulie. I believe that Brother Chen has a right view of people!"
The ancestor of the wild fox swore solemnly, and Gu Chen felt relieved upon seeing this.
In this way, the problem of Lan Country was solved.
