"We still need to recover as soon as possible for trade in the north, and if necessary, we can do some small things in other areas." Jia Xu suggested.

In the northern war situation affects the overall consideration. Both Jia Xu and Shang Wu knew very well that trade must be resumed as soon as possible. The so-called small action is to rely on the pricing power and the advantage of grasping the trade initiative to deliberately suppress the other party's goods.

"Yes, that's right." Shang Wu nodded in agreement.

If there is blind suppression and there is no window for negotiation, it will form a rigid situation in the later period of the Ming Dynasty. What the Republican Army needs is a local war, and the martial arts who have gone through the Cold War strategy are well aware of the importance of local wars. You can fight, but you will not give up the possibility of negotiation, so you can effectively dredge. The purpose of the fight is to negotiate. And the negotiations need to be supplemented by calls. Get more advantageous chips.

"I think that we should define the war in the north as a local war from the beginning, which is very crucial and even advantageous for us. Such a war will give us a greater advantage, and what will be the outcome if this situation continues to develop? It's going to be very good for us. "That's how Shangwu solves the problem.

"Well, it's fascinating, and it's a whole new strategy. But how can the commanders at the front understand such a point? Jia Xu asked worriedly.

"We can transfer Zhou Cang back, and at the same time explain this point to the front-line commanders in detail, we don't eat too much at once, eat the other party little by little, and pull the opponent's strength away, so that we can form a very favorable situation." Shang Wu said.

"I see. I'll draft a telegram and send it over. Jia Xu said.

Sangwu nodded in agreement. Jia Xu believes that this is a new strategy. Although the north will continue forever, this kind of local war is very beneficial to the Republican Army, because the initiative and control of the war are in the hands of the Republican Army, and the Republican Army can fight if it wants to, and talk about it if it does not fight. It all depends on the mood of the Republican Army, as well as the need. This has never been done before, he avoided the rigid offensive posture of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and blindly launched an attack, which would cost more war costs, and the finances simply could not afford such a point. But if you talk and fight at the same time, the situation is different.

"Draw up a telegram to the North, and the main keywords are on this." Jia Xu handed a note to his assistant.

"Yes, Mr. Minister." The assistant nodded in agreement.

"However, Mr. Minister, do you want to meet Mr. Xun Yu, he represents the Cao Cao forces left by Chen in the south. He said they could work with us in secret. And more favorable conditions were given. The assistant introduced.

"Hmm. Let him wait more. At this time, we can't be overly receiving. However, you must give the other person a certain amount of courtesy. Don't overdo it. Jia Xu said.

For Cao Cao's forces, as well as meeting Xun Yu. Jia Xu believes that it is still immature, although Xun Yu sees that the current trade of the Republican Army is extremely limited, and he proposed that preferential treatment can be given in this regard, reduce tariffs, and even provide more protection, but the other party's conditions also make it difficult for the Republican Army to agree, not only need a large amount of loans, but also need some assistance.

How can the Republican Army have so much aid, and if this aid is given to the other side, I don't know how much trouble it will cause for itself. So, for my own sake. Jia Xu believes that this is not the time. At the very least, the conditions given by the other party are not very good, and they make too many demands. The initiative should be in the hands of the Republican Army, not Cao Cao. This made Jia Xu feel that the other party didn't know how many chips he had.

However, Cao Cao's strength felt very strange, and Chen Liu's position happened to be in a very important position, an important strategic crossroads to the south, east, and other directions. Therefore, the IRA needed more favorable conditions in this place, to build warehouses, to develop more transportation. This is advantageous. But that's exactly what happened. Xun Yucai put forward such seemingly "excessive" demands, which were still difficult for the Republican Army to accept.

"Oh. Is it? Xun Yu said while drinking boiled water. The reception here is very casual, and the treatment is not very good.

The Republican Army's office expenses are so limited that it is good to be able to provide boiled water. They still need to light a fire. If it's summer, it's estimated that only well water can be drunk.

"Yes, I'm sorry sir, but you can see that we are usually very busy here." The assistant said with a smile.

Xun Yu nodded, he was not surprised at all, originally, the two sides cooperated for the first time, and the prices quoted were all sky-high. However, the other party seems to have a feeling that they don't want to talk. Xun Yu knew that this was a strategy, and the Republican Army had many advantages, so they could wait. Then make your conditions more favorable, and if you take the initiative to lower your conditions on this side, you will become extremely passive. In this case, Xun Yu is still very clear.

Xun Yu saw it. As long as they do business with the Republican Army, all their conditions will be better. And the development of the lord Cao Cao needs this kind of strong support very much, the republican army has the foundation, and has the ability to do this, look at Dong Zhuo, you can understand.

But Xun Yu is also a smart person, he can see that Dong Zhuo will give up a lot of things sooner or later, it may be Guanzhong, Longxi, or even the Western Regions, the republican army is still very greedy.

As long as the IRA is greedy. Everything can be negotiated conditionally.

Cao Cao needs more arms, the future war is the era of firearms, Xun Yu is very clear about this, and what Cao Cao, who has just started the army, lacks is firearms, and the only place where they can get firearms is the Republican Army. The Republican Army, on the other hand, was greedy, and in Xun Yu's view, they attached great importance to trade and had the same practical interests as merchants.

As long as you give the other party enough benefits, you can impress them. Cao Cao lacked a lot of resources. Xun Yu himself is also very clear about this, but the advantage is also very important, Chen Liu. This place is an important stronghold. He can go to many places, such as Qingzhou and Xuzhou. These are important areas where the IRA has not yet opened up important markets. It would be very advantageous if Cao Cao could provide such help and get the support of the Republican Army.

This is the purpose of Xun Yu's negotiation here, to get more support.

Xun Yu also knew very well that he simply relied on the Kwantung Coalition Army composed of local officials of the Eighteenth Road. There is no way to solve the substantive problem, on the contrary, the problem will become more complicated, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, and Yuan Shu, they all have their own selfish intentions. Others, on the other hand, are also more motivated by their own political capital, with symbolic meaning than practical significance, and relying on such a coalition to fight is simply wishful thinking. And Dong Zhuo can't be defeated at all.

So, the more they need more support at this time, as long as enough support is in place. Cao Cao's power would increase rapidly, once again forming a unified centralized power. Yes, too.

However, the IRA was not enthusiastic. They don't seem interested in that.

IRA intelligence.

"There's no need for those officers to stay. Sending to the mining area is a complicated thing for us. And, I'm worried that there will be some variables. Xu Dou looked at the report in his hand. The Confederate gendarmes controlled by the Republican Army also captured more than 200 Confederate cavalry officers and non-commissioned officers. Although they were no longer able to control their army, they were not actively loyal to the Republican Army. This is an extremely dangerous signal for Xu Dou.

The intelligence officer below suggested that these people be sent to the mine, so that they could get a sum of money, but for Xu Dou, these people were extremely dangerous.

"Execute them all. It's the best way to do it. Xu Dou said. The director looked at Xu Dou in disbelief.

"It has to be done. Keeping them will be a scourge, and we must not allow the situation to become chaotic. The cavalry is very important to the above, and more cavalry units will be established in the future. What if they continue to exist? They must be disposed of. That's it. Xu Dou wrote out how to deal with the spicy chicken, and finally signed his name. This will become an order. He didn't have a choice. Keeping these people would be a great calamity.

"Yes, sir." The director said. Although it is shocking, it is also a burden to get rid of it. It's a very easy thing for them.

"There is also the matter of Luoyang, we must speed up, for some businessmen, we must develop as soon as possible, but the most important thing is confidentiality. Our people cannot be discovered. Hiding is the first priority, so that Dong Zhuo can't find out, and in the end he is very surprised. Xu Dou said.

The supervisor understood.

In contrast, Xu Dou was concerned with how to organize a riot in the big city of Luoyang. Larger-scale insurrection, organized, purposeful development of such things. This is the first time for Xu Dou's intelligence department, but it is also a very favorable one.

For the documents in hand. It doesn't matter anymore.

The IRA does not want to encounter many, many obstacles in its path, and if these obstacles are stopped, they will be completely crushed. For example, the fate of those more than 200 people.
