"So, Leader Lei, have you already made up your mind to accept the other party's offer?" After listening to this, Lu Liang asked bluntly.

"Yes, my Lei Department will not only pay 5,000 grains to that prince in the past two years according to the conditions, but I will also do my best to lend him the surplus grain in the tribe." Redin replied without hesitation.

"You ......" As soon as Lu Liang heard this, he only said one 'you', and he couldn't say anything.

After all, Lei Ding is the general leader of the seven departments, on the one hand, his ability and prestige are the highest among the seven, and on the other hand, among the seven departments, Lei Di's strength is also the strongest. Therefore, he made a decision, which basically amounted to the decision of the seven ministries combined.

After deliberation, the leaders of the seven departments finally decided to accept the harsher conditions proposed by Jin Jue.

However, that very night, the seven parts cracked.

The leader of Lü Di and Pu Di led their subordinates that night and moved to Wudu Dao together.

Wudu Dao, in the Western Han Dynasty, this county was the county seat of Wudu County, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the county was moved to Xiabiandao. Even if it is not abandoned, its scale and prosperity are certainly not comparable to that of the high.

Lu Liang and Pu Xing thought that this matter was very hidden, but in fact, Lei Dingzai expected what they would do, so Lei Ding called Yao He, the leader of Yao Di, who had a very good relationship with him, together in advance, and the two tribes gathered the elite soldiers in the tribe to prevent those two people from taking risks.

However, until Lu Di and Pu Di left Xiajiao, Lei Ding did not send troops to stop them.

Yao He asked puzzledly, "Chief Leader, did you just watch them leave like this?" ”

"Hehe, Brother Yao Xian, otherwise? If I send troops to stop the two of them, not to mention how the leaders of the other three departments feel, the elite soldiers of you and me will inevitably suffer as a result. Besides, fighting back and forth, it is always a civil war between our Di people, and it is just a joke for that son. Lei Ding replied with a wry smile.

"Alas!" Without waiting for Yao He to ask anything, Lei Ding then sighed and said: "Actually, the fact that the two of them can leave with such a peaceful handsome department is a great thing for our remaining five departments!" Brother Yao Xian, look at it! Next year, Lu Liang and Pu Xing will not wait for the summer harvest, and they will be in different places. ”

"But, chief, the Han people have always been treacherous and cunning, and that prince is so wise, what if he is a lord who does not believe in his word?" Yao He asked very uneasily.

"In today's situation, we can only gamble. Besides, from the results of the investigation I sent people in the opposing army, not only is that the son's plan not small, but also that he treats his subordinates very well. Speaking of this, Lei Ding deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Yao Xian, have you heard that the princes of one side cultivate their own subordinates to be emperors?" ”

"Is this possible?" Yao He's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked in disbelief.

"When I first heard it, I didn't believe it. However, now, that's what is being done in Luoyang County. Such and such...... And so it is. That son really deserved all the people surnamed Liu who had made contributions in Luoyang County. Among them, the general who attacked Jialing Dao was the general of Caohan City, named Liu Gang, and the rest of the more famous, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child named Liu Thirty-one, he has really done a local tour now. Lei Ding recounted the details of what he had found.

"He's crazy, isn't it good to be his own master?" When Yao He heard this, he was frightened, since ancient times, he has never heard of such a prince.

"Hehe, if he's really crazy, what if it's scary?" Redin replied self-deprecatingly.

If a madman is so good at fighting and scheming, they are really embarrassed as normal people.

Lei Ding took the initiative to accept the instigation, and there was another inducement, that is, Zhang Lu, who was afraid of them, unexpectedly instigated and took the initiative to let the southwest of Wudu County out.

This incident also touched Lei Ding a lot.

A local tycoon who has been running Hanzhong for four or five years is actually afraid of a child who has not established a stable foothold, but this is the truth.

……

"Oh! In this way, Leader Lei and they accepted Ben Gongzi's conditions of surrender! Jin Jue asked with some surprise.

Jin Jue's original offer was just asking for a sky-high price, and he thought that even if they agreed, they would find a reason to negotiate with him to reduce the amount of food that the ministries needed to pay every year. However, these Di people were so upright that they agreed directly, which made Jin Jue himself a little embarrassed.

"Childe Qiyu, the first thing to start discussing is that it was the joint decision of the seven ministries to accept your conditions. However, the night before the villain left Xiabian, Lu Bu and Pu Bu suddenly treacherously fled from Xiabian, and according to investigation, the two had fled to Wudu Dao. Leader Lei also didn't notice it for a while, and let the villain take advantage of the loophole, and I ask your forgiveness. The Messenger speaks.

However, Jin Jue is not a fool, as soon as he heard the other party's words, he immediately heard many flaws in his words.

First of all, since it had been agreed, he should have sent the messenger out to deliver the message at once, instead of delaying the messenger for a whole night before leaving the lower path.

From this point of view, Lei Ding must have expected that the two tribes would flee that night.

Secondly, since the messenger had already left, how could he know that the two had fled to Wudu Dao?

However, Jin Jue didn't care about this, and let the Di people kill each other for themselves, he naturally didn't think he had this charm.

Run, run!

With this excuse, Jin Jue can also use this to weaken the power of the Di clan in Wudu County next year, why not? In his heart, he really hoped that the Seven Divisions of Lei Ding would not approve of the conditions he offered. It's not that Jin Jue is expanding at the moment, but at this moment, Jin Jue's army has actually controlled more than sixty percent of Wudu County's territory. The Seven Divisions of Lei Ding were no longer able to pose any threat to the rule of the Jin Jue Army in Wudu County.

Jin Jue asked the messenger a few words, and then sent him away.

Three days later, Lei Ding personally led a thousand people to escort 35,000 grains to Jin Jue's army. Among them, the extra 10,000 pieces of grain were lent to Jin Juejun by Lei Ding.

Seven mountains, two forests, one field, eight mountains, one water and one field, the counties under Wudu County are basically these two types of terrain and landforms, and the Lei Ding Department can naturally come up with more grain than this. However, Jin Jue is too young and his credibility is too low, and it is very rare for the other party to come in person and give him an extra 10,000 pieces of grain.

Therefore, Jin Jue and Lei Ding hit it off at first sight, he pulled away the guards around him and talked to Lei Ding alone.

"Leader Lei, this friendship, this son wrote it down. However, I want to tell you a word in advance. This Wudu County will be the place where I started, so in the future, I will not let any of the subordinate counties in the county have independent forces in it. When Jin Jue said this, he deliberately looked at Lei Ding's face.

Lei Ding was not surprised, or rather, he controlled his emotions very well, and there was no anger on his face and eyes.

"Of course, my son has never let the interests of my subordinates and friends be harmed. In the future, I will divide the areas under the jurisdiction of the northern governor of Guanghan County and the southern governor of Longxi County to you and one of the leaders you recommend. The Qiang people in Longxi County, you don't have to worry, wait for this son to free up his hands to drive them out of Longxi County, and hand them over to you. Jin Jue patted his small chest and promised.

Lei Ding did not answer the stubble in Jin Jue's words, but directly pointed out the flaws in Jin Jue's words: "Hehe, son, as far as I know, you and Ma Teng have reached a peace agreement, and the county guard of Longxi County is Ma Teng's nephew Ma Dai!" Moreover, the northern capital of Guanghan was originally occupied by our Di tribe, so you say that, do you want us Di people to kill each other? Also, your biggest enemy at the moment is Zhang Lu, not Liu Zhang. ”

"Hehe, so this son has been saying that it is the future! Within three years, this son will inevitably include the entire Yizhou in his pocket, but at that time, it is difficult to say whether Ma Teng can keep Sanfu! Jin Jue didn't care about Lei Ding's attitude, he replied indifferently.
