And after Sun Ce and Liu Bei glanced at each other, he sneered in his heart at this time, saying in his heart that of course he Cao Mengde was "sincere", if he was really not ready to make some blood, might he let himself compromise with him Liu Xuande. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the grievances and grievances between his Yanzhou army and Liu Xuande, if you Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army don't show enough "sincerity", this Liu Xuande's level will not be able to pass.

Yes, although he Liu Bei said it well, but how to say that he is also the leader of the coalition army, even if it is himself, he has to give Liu Bei some face in front of outsiders. And compared with him Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde, who is his own person and who is an outsider, does this need to be said.

Man Chong thought that his last sentence was very good, very right and timely, after not reading his own words, Sun Ce and Liu Bei quickly glanced at each other, this shows the problem, it is estimated that today's matter, there should be no big problem-

And the last words of Man Chong were indeed the result of Cao Cao's discussion with everyone. To be honest, even Cao Cao didn't want to meet Sun Ce and Liu Bei in the current situation, without taking an advantage, but for the sake of his own retreat, he would rather not have this face, as long as this matter can be solved, he will have no problem meeting Sun Ce and Liu Bei.

For Cao Cao, the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers should be much more important than his own face. This is the lord himself. Face can be lost, but the lives of the soldiers under his hands are not good, so they are lost so lightly. And as the lord. Cao Cao does have the skills of a superior, does he know how to buy the hearts of soldiers and win people's hearts, Cao Cao is actually quite good at it.

And Cao Cao also believed that as long as he brought back tens of thousands of Yanzhou troops safely, then these tens of thousands of soldiers would definitely be soldiers who could serve their lives. In the future, if you deal with the Liangzhou Army, the Sun-Liu Coalition Army and the like, you can also have some advantages. Isn't it.

So since Man Pet and Xu Chu left Wuling, Cao Cao has been prepared, just waiting for Man Pet to come back with news. Then meet with Sun Ce and Liu Bei to discuss the specific matters of the alliance.

If you want to say that Cao Cao's Yanzhou army and Sun Liu's coalition army formed an alliance, it would definitely not be like Sun Ce and Liu Bei, and in the end, they were all united. This Cao Cao will definitely not be like this. But even if it won't. But Cao Cao is the same, he wants to form an alliance with Sun and Liu, that is, with Sun Ce and Liu Bei. Because that is not bad at all, that is, several of them have a common enemy, that is, Ma Mengqi Liangzhou Army who is still in Jiangxia, so the parties naturally have a basis for cooperation, which is not wrong.

Cao Cao saw this, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei naturally understood it. So this alliance really doesn't mean that it can't be done. Even if the grievances and grievances between Liu Bei and Yanzhou Army are indeed unsolvable, it does not prevent them from forming an alliance. It's just that everyone has to fight for more and greater benefits for themselves, so we have to talk for a while at this time.

Sun Ce smiled at Man Zhong at this time, "If Mr. Berning has anything to say, just say it to Gong Jin, about the cooperation between the two sides, Gong Jin will talk to Mr. instead of me!" ”

And Liu Bei said the same to Man Chong, but he just replaced Zhou Yu with Xu Shu-

This qiē is all expected by the full favor, after all, whether it is Sun Ce or Liu Bei, he is not good at negotiating with others. Of course, he was just replacing his own lord, first came to explore the way, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei, talked about their "sincerity", and then both sides had this will and agreed to form an alliance, and finally their lord met with them, and then talked about their own retreat.

And this qiē is actually expected by his lord, and what he has to do now is to talk to Zhou Yu, Sun Ce's representative, and Xu Shu, Liu Bei's representative, about the "sincerity" of his alliance with them. In order to form an alliance and completely solve the problem of their own retreat, they did come up with a lot of conditions, at least in their own opinion, he Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande have no reason to disagree, let alone their advisers.

In Manzhong's view, now in Jingzhou, although the Sun-Liu coalition army occupies a lot of places, it is still Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou army, so whether it is Zhou Yu or Xu Shu, it must be able to see that the significance of the alliance of several parties to resist Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou army together is absolutely necessary-

Zhou Yu smiled at Man Chong, then stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Boning, please!" ”

Xu Shu is the same, full of favor smiled at the two, and then said a word of invitation, to put it bluntly, that is, the three of them are going to start arguing, if it sounds a little better, it is called negotiation, in fact, it is a ripping, but it is just a bargaining there for their own interests, a high-level bargain.

Zhou Yu was Sun Ce's direct subordinate, so he spoke first, and he heard him say to Man Chong: "Mr. Boning, since Cao Sikong wants to form an alliance with my army, but he doesn't know, what sincerity does he have?" ”

When I heard this, I rolled my eyes in my heart, and what sincerity was there, that is, I asked myself directly, how much benefit I gave you, isn't that it.

But I thought about it in my heart, and I still said with a lot of favor: "This, I asked the lord to say before he came, as long as he can form an alliance with your army, then ......"——

He didn't hide it at this time, after all, it was already a formal negotiation, so he had nothing to hide, after all, sooner or later the other party would know. So he basically said what his lord said to him, yes, it was basic, full of favor as a lobbyist, negotiating with others, convincing others, it was impossible for him to directly reveal the bottom line to the other party, so he only said most of it, and there was a small part, but he didn't say it.

After all, what you haven't said can be regarded as hole cards, and in the end you still have a way out. If you say that you directly reveal the bottom to the other party, then your own retreat, isn't it all blocked.

When Zhou Yu heard this, he and Xu Shu glanced at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes. This is full of favors, but I didn't say it all, I must have hidden something. But both of them also understand that if they want to negotiate with someone and be a lobbyist, of course, they won't explain the bottom at once, or they won't have any advantage, and they will be passive directly, so both of them understand, but they won't say it, then it's not interesting, after all, they also understand that the lord of the two of them still has the will to form an alliance-

Man Chong was still smiling at this time, and after finishing speaking, he also saw Zhou Yu and Xu Shu looking at each other.

At this time, he said to the two again: "I don't know such conditions, what do you think of them?" To say that my lord of my family, in order to form an alliance with your army this time, he has shown full sincerity, but I don't know if the two of you think it is feasible to do this? ”

Some things are actually "asking for a price all over the place, pay back the money on the spot", but at this time, Zhou Yu and Xu Shu haven't started to ask for a price, they just let Man Pet say their "sincerity". But as a good lobbyist, Man Chong naturally wouldn't directly hand over his bottom to Zhou Yu and them, so he said part of it and concealed some of it, which seemed to be good for both parties.

At this time, Zhou Yu spoke first: "Mr. Berning, I don't think it's as good as this, if your army is sincere, then ......"

In the end, Zhou Yu looked at Xu Shu, "I don't know what Yuan Zhi thinks, how is this?" ”

Xu Shu smiled, "Naturally, Gong Jin's words are also what I want to say!" ”――

After listening to the conversation between the two, Man Pet said in his heart, both of you agreed, but I, the client, didn't say anything.

However, he also understood in his heart that since Zhou Yu and Xu Shu had already reached a consensus, he should start negotiating with the two of them and start paying back the money on the spot, both of them were already asking for a sky-high price. However, these are not unacceptable to themselves, although they are still a little different from the bottom line given to themselves by the main bus, but when you actually think about it, they are actually about the same, and they really do not exceed their bottom line.

But for a qualified lobbyist, even if it is about the same as what the Yanzhou army thinks, it is impossible for Man Chong to agree to Zhou Yu and them at once. Instead, you still have to negotiate with the two of them, which is a must.

So Man Chong said to Zhou Yu and Xu Shu: "I already know the meaning of the two, in fact, I have said the sincerity of my lord before, but the two of you have other requirements, this is to be honest, there are some things I can replace my lord in charge, but some things, this is ......"
