Chapter 4 Extortion (2) 7.16

The next day, Ma Yun summoned Hu Sijin's envoy Wu Cheng again. Bayi Chinese Network Wu Cheng, who was in his forties, after seeing Ma Yun Shili, first presented the letter of state from Qian Hongli, the king of Wuyue, expressing his intention to be a subject, and at the same time asking the state of Chu to uphold justice and the soldiers to fight for rebellion on behalf of Wu Yue.

Hu Sijin bluntly asked for troops, the reason was nothing more than because the combat effectiveness of his troops was poor, it was to defend the city, fight in the field, and Qian Hongqi's army was repeatedly defeated. There is no way, who said that the troops that went south to Fuzhou back then were the elite of Wu Yue's army.

Due to the problem of the Great Chu Emperor Ma Yun taking advantage of the cheap, it had already spread at that time. Wu Cheng didn't expect Ma Yun to be a hero who "does good deeds without leaving a name", he saw that Ma Yun had the intention of asking the price code, and immediately threw out his own conditions: The land of Wu Yue, except for Suzhou, Huzhou, Xiuzhou, Hangzhou, Yuezhou, Quzhou, Muzhou, Wuzhou, and Mingzhou, the places occupied by the Chu army are all Chu army. Wu Yue only asked to get rid of the rebellious Qian Hongliang, and the rest asked for nothing else.

This condition cannot but be said to be very superior, giving Ma Yun an excuse to fight, and also promised Wu Yue to attack 50,000 taels of silver every year. At the same time, during the war, a part of the grain and grass of the Chu army could also be supplied. If it were another time, Ma Yun would gladly agree. But now that the Chu army is in the recuperation period, although there is no need to send a large army to deal with Wu Yue, the sergeant is also a human being, so it is good to let him take a breath.

So, Ma Yun threw out his own demands: ceding Suzhou and Huzhou, in exchange for the Chu army sending troops to Fuzhou, to break down the pressure of Hu Sijin.

Last night, Wu Qiong returned to the post station angrily, smashed a few cups in anger, and occasionally complained, saying that Da Chu's appetite was too big. With the deliberate cooperation of well-intentioned people, Wu Cheng's people successfully stole the requirements put forward by Chu when Wu Qiong negotiated with Chu State: call the ministers, pay tribute, and cede the land. For Wu Cheng, it is the easiest to be a minister, anyway, it does not cost a single soldier, and it does not consume silver, grain and grass. Nagong is also acceptable, although Nagong really needs real money for the Chu State, not as recorded in the history books: the Eight Desolations enter the Central Dynasty to pay tribute, and those local products that the natives don't like to eat can be exchanged for very luxurious rewards from the Central Dynasty. However, if the state of Chu loosened the control of Wu Yue's maritime trade, Wu Yue's merchants would be the best at doing business, and it would be easy to make up enough money from the merchants. There is only this article of cutting the land, originally when Wu Cheng came, Hu Sijin also explained, anyway, it is probably very difficult for our army to win against Qian Hongliang now, in this case, instead of waiting to be cleaned up by Qian Hongliang, it is better to give the place to Chu State, as long as Chu State sends troops and defeats how many states and counties, then those states and counties will belong to Chu State. In this case, the land is the worst, and it is possible to cut the territory of 8 states. Although the cut was painful, Hu Sijin had no choice.

I didn't expect His Majesty Ma Yun, the new emperor, to have such a big appetite, he didn't want the place controlled by Qian Hongliang, but Suzhou and Huzhou under the control of Hu Sijin. Since ancient times, Suzhou and Hangzhou have to be familiar, the world is full of saying, if Suzhou is ceded to the Chu State, the impact on Wu Yue will be great, first Wu Yue has no strategic depth, the Chu army can reach the city of Hangzhou with a charge, and moreover, cutting Suzhou is also a major blow to Wu Yue's strength.

Originally, Wu Cheng didn't sleep well all night, constantly hesitating, constantly wandering, just to think of a perfect way to solve the current old and difficult problem. So, he finally decided to come up and throw out a big plus, which completely impressed the Chu State. It's a pity, I didn't expect the emperor Ma Yun to turn his mind, wasn't he interested in Wenzhou and Fuzhou yesterday, and why is he interested in Suzhou today?

Wu Cheng suddenly understood that this Chu State wanted to take advantage of it with a lot of effort. This... What should I do? Wu Cheng's mind was spinning. The lion of Chu State is already very infuriating when he opens his mouth, and there is a person who "grabs the bid" by his side, who may continue to raise the price. Having competition seems to be a spur, but not all competition is a good thing, and the current competition makes it difficult for Wu Cheng: it's too bad. Wu Cheng didn't know Qian Hongliang's thoughts, from his own standpoint, Hu Sijin had obviously sold Qian Hongliang, so would Qian Hongliang also buy Hu Sijin?

From the perspective of the state of Chu, Suzhou and other places with a large economy seem to be much better than Wenzhou. Is it Huzhou and Suzhou that Chu is really interested in? If this is really the case, once Qian Hongliang agrees to Ma Yun's conditions and cedes Wenzhou and Fuzhou in exchange for the advance of the army to Hangzhou, due to the small quantity and poor quality of Hu Sijin's army, I am afraid that the Chu army will be like a bamboo, and at that time, Suzhou and other places will still fall into the hands of the Chu State! What to do? Agree to their request, or refuse? Wu Cheng's heart was a quick turning point. Monopoly is really bad. If the State of Chu hadn't surrounded Wu Yue from three sides, so that Wu Yue would never have been able to find a big country that could help except for the State of Chu, he would not have been so bullied by the State of Chu.

Wu Cheng's heart was pounding, originally, the Fujian State was destroyed, Li Tang was destroyed, the Chu State had surrounded Wu Yue from three sides, and Wu Yue's living environment had become poor, but there was still such a big contradiction within Wu Yue, which... Could it be that Wu Yue died in the sky? With the land of Wuyue and the twelve states, can it fight against the Great Chu of more than 100 states? Wu Cheng's thoughts were getting farther and farther away, deeper and deeper, and the whole thing was a little stunned.

Negotiation is a process of raising prices and bargaining. Seeing that Wu Cheng didn't speak, Ma Yun was not in a hurry, so he asked him to go back and think about it.

Wu Cheng returned to the post station, he wanted to go to the other side to find Qian Hongqi's envoy, the two of them were in harmony, and they couldn't let Chu take advantage of it in vain, but the person on the other side was an enemy. Isn't it a brain disease to unite with the enemy? Not only can he not go, but he must always be on guard against the other party, for fear that the other party's increase will be too big and make it difficult for him to follow. Hu Sijin is rich, but due to the early adventurous, the loss of troops and generals, now has become rich and no soldiers, if the other party continues to attack like this, Yuezhou is afraid to be lost, Hangzhou will inevitably be fully surrounded, so Suzhou, Xiuzhou, Huzhou's attitude may change. No, we must win the support of the Chu State. However, this is obviously drinking to quench your thirst. The civil strife has been calmed, the strength has been weakened, and the Great Chu is surrounded by many sides, and Wu Yue is probably really going to die.

Wu Cheng sat down with a heavy heart, his own clan is Wu Zhongwang's clan, when this kind of sky is overturned, he can't capsize!
