Chapter 197: A truce comes at a price

Xuzhou Mansion, Xiao County Xu Family Residence.

Xu Zhaohui, the head of the Xu family, was sitting in the room and eating, and there were more than a dozen plates of delicacies on the table in front of him, with delicacies from the mountains and seas, meat and vegetables.

Next to him, there was also a stunning beauty serving with a wine jug, pouring wine for Xu Zhaohui from time to time.

But at this time, Xu Zhaohui was in a very bad mood, even in the face of such a delicious food, it was like chewing wax, and the food was tasteless!

As early as after receiving the reply from Yushan Town, Xu Zhaohui racked his brains to choose a candidate for peace talks, who was the butler of the Xu family, known as Uncle Wang.

But just the day before yesterday, Uncle Wang finally rushed back from Yushan Town, but the news he brought back made Xu Zhaohui angry, and he beat the housekeeper Uncle Wang to death on the spot!

"First, the Xu family must not go north to Shandong, otherwise Yushan Town will move south."

"Second, the Xu family's ironware can only be sold to the Ministry of Commerce of Yushan Town, and then sold by the Ministry of Commerce of Yushan Town to all parts of Shandong, and the price must be reduced by two percent!"

"Third, when Yushan Town develops to Xuzhou, the Xu family must not interfere or obstruct it, otherwise it will be regarded as the Xu family tearing up the peace negotiation agreement."

"Fourth, the Xu family needs to deposit 100,000 taels of silver into the Yushan ticket number every month as a witness to the harmonious exchanges between the two families."

"Fifth, the Xu family must not have any dealings with the people of Ye Zongliu's department, and they must not give Ye Zongliu's department any form of military support, otherwise Yushan Town will move south."

At this time, looking at the delicious food on the table, Xu Zhaohui only felt the anger in his chest, and suddenly waved his hand to overturn the table, and then said angrily: "The witness of harmonious exchanges? Liu Juntao is boiling frogs in warm water, so that my Xu family will never be able to turn over again! ”

The beautiful woman serving next to her was even more frightened when she saw this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, Xu Zhao only felt upset when she saw it, and kicked the beauty to the ground with a kick, and kicked her face full of blood, blue nose and swollen face.

When the beautiful woman was blasted out tremblingly, Xu Zhaohui sat on the chair with a sigh of anger and said secretly: "Since Liu Juntao is too deceitful, it is better to fight with him and break the net!" ”

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Zhaohui suddenly remembered the very sharp firearms in Yushan Town, only to feel a chill that instantly penetrated his lungs, and a dense layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Yushan Town is too powerful, especially the power of that firearm, my men and horses will definitely not be able to resist it!"

At this time, Xu Zhaohui suddenly remembered that Ye Zongliu had mentioned before, and he wanted the Xu family to also build firearms, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Perhaps, the leader of the thieves has some point!"

Thinking of this, Xu Zhaohui made up his mind and decided to agree to the terms of peace talks set by Liu Juntao.

"In the past, Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch, and today I, Xu Zhaohui, will also come to taste the gall! The Xu family's firearms building should also start as soon as possible! ”

So, Xu Zhaohui sent someone to inform Ye Zongliu that he decided to agree to all of Liu Juntao's conditions and negotiate peace with Yushan Town.

After that, Xu Zhaohui didn't care about Ye Zongliu's response, and directly sent a team of people to Yushan Town.

The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.

Xuzhou Mansion, Pei County Jingoukou Fort.

Previously, Ye Zongliu risked Liu Juntao's sudden turn of face, sent Wang Neng to Yushan Town, and brought back the conditions for peace talks proposed by Liu Juntao.

"First, Ye Zongliu's men and horses are not allowed to go north to Shandong, and they must not expand their army, they can only maintain the number of 14,000, and they must not have cavalry, firearms and other sharp weapons, otherwise Yushan Town will move south."

"Second, Ye Zongliu's troops are not allowed to have any dealings with the Xu family, and they are not allowed to accept any form of military support from the Xu family, otherwise Yushan Town will move south."

"Third, when Yushan Town develops to Xuzhou, Ye Zongliu's ministry must not interfere or obstruct it, otherwise it will be regarded as Ye Zongliu tearing up the peace negotiation agreement."

"Fourth, Ye Zongliu needs to deposit 20,000 taels of silver into the Yushan ticket number every month as a witness to the harmonious exchanges between the two families."

Looking at the conditions for peace talks written in black and white in his hand, Ye Zongliu's face was very ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "How do you feel about going to Yushan Town?" ”

Wang Neng's face was not much better, and he said almost in despair: "Then Liu Juntao did not shy away from me and the Xu family's housekeeper, not only took us to wander around Yushan Town, but even took us to see the Yushan Military Bureau!" King, to be honest, I don't think we still have any capital to compete with Yushan Town! ”

Hearing this, Ye Zongliu sighed heavily and said, "I understand! But I also think that Liu Juntao doesn't have any reason to let us go! This time, the reason why Liu Juntao is willing to negotiate peace with us is just that there is no official reason to go south! ”

Wang Neng also thought of this, and said: "I hope that the Xu family can rush to the front, if the Xu family and Yushan Town can compete with each other, maybe we can have a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind!" ”

"Impossible!"

Ye Zongliu sneered and said, "Then Xu Zhaohui is also a personal spirit, and he will never be used as a gun by us." It's not good, now the envoy of the Xu family who promised the conditions for peace talks is already on the way north to Yushan Town! ”

Hearing this, Wang Neng was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "King, how are we doing?" To say yes or not to agree? ”

Ye Zongliu is also weighing the pros and cons at this time, in fact, these conditions proposed by Liu Juntao, Ye Zongliu can do, in the past few months, Ye Zongliu has also built some businesses around Jingoukou Wubao, and the financial resources are still stable.

It's just that Ye Zong knows in his heart that once he agrees to Liu Juntao's conditions, if there is no big opportunity, he may not have a chance to make a comeback, and he will be suppressed by Yushan Town everywhere.

"But if I don't say yes, do I have any other choice?"

Ye Zongliu sighed secretly in his heart, so he made up his mind and said to Wang Neng: "We will agree to all the conditions proposed by Liu Juntao!" ”

Looking at Ye Zongliu's blazing eyes, although he was forced to agree to Liu Juntao's alliance under the city, Wang Neng also had confidence in his heart and immediately agreed.

Then, Ye Zongliu said coldly: "All this that Liu Juntao imposed on us today, I will record it in the soul chasing book, and when our brothers make a comeback, I will ask Liu Juntao for it back with interest!" ”

At this moment, an attendant outside the door suddenly ran in and said, "Great King! Just now, the Xu family sent someone to inform us that the head of the Xu family had sent someone north to Yushan Town and agreed to all the conditions of Yushan Town! ”

Ye Zongliu snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "Xu Zhaohui! You're not a good thing either! ”

After speaking, Ye Zongliu said to Wang Neng: "Let's also send someone north immediately and promise Liu Juntao all the conditions!" ”

A few days later, Yushan Town.

Xuzhou's Xu family and Ye Zongliu sent people to come one after another, expressing their acceptance of all the conditions put forward by Liu Juntao.

In this regard, Liu Juntao was a little unexpected, at least every time he thought that Xu Zhaohui, the head of the Xu family, and Ye Zongliu agreed so happily!

So, Liu Juntao said to Guo Muying with emotion: "Then Xu Zhaohui and Ye Zongliu are both characters, the two of them can bend and stretch, and in time, it will be a big trouble for our Yushan Town!" ”
