Chapter 707: Negotiation
It wasn't until Zhang Fei opened the door of the hall and left the hall that Liu Lan spoke: "Now can you listen to me finish with peace of mind?" ”
"Liu Xianjun, what did you call us to Xiangping?" Many county orders are relieved, far less guarded against him than Fang Cai, in fact, the county orders are still in the tiger's den, but Liu Lan played a trick, and it is precisely because of the subtle change of closing the door that they subconsciously feel that Liu Lan does not really intend to deal with them, and because of this, he can solve the Liaodong problem more gently than Gongsun Du.
Liu Lan cleared his throat, talked eloquently, and said, "I have summoned you here today, there are a few things to discuss with you. First of all, the news of Gongsun Du's ban also hopes that everyone will continue to remain silent and don't spread it out, of course, Liaodong Taishou or Gongsun Du externally, but this is internal, nominally I am still the Xiangping County Order, and I will exercise the power of Taishou. ”
Although he said that he wanted to discuss with everyone, his tone was unquestionable, more like he was giving an order, how could there be any meaning of discussion, but the matter of his exercise of the county guard's authority, all the county commanders had already acquiesced, otherwise they would not have listened to his call and ran to Xiangping, especially now that his strength is the highest in Liaodong, even if they unite here, they may not be able to fight him, and their interests have not been touched, so after Liu Lan finished speaking, all the county commanders agreed to respect Liu Lan as the county guard of Liaodong
"We're off to a good start."
Liu Lan smiled, not surprised by this result: "Then let's discuss the second thing, in order to ensure the safety of Liaodong, I have an idea." It is to completely integrate the Liaodong Army, and at that time, I will directly dispatch the army to be responsible for the security of each county. All the county gentlemen only need to ......"
Before he finished speaking, Wangping Ling slammed the table and stood up. said angrily: "Liu Lan, you said to discuss with us, is this considered a discussion?" What's the difference between you and Gongsun Du? ”
"That is, if you are so arbitrary, we will never agree to you!"
Liu Lan glanced at Wangping Ling and Wenxian Ling, who reacted most fiercely, and his eyes instantly became extremely cold, Huo Ran got up, and walked straight towards Wangping Lingqu with a dragon slaying knife.
"What are you going to do?" Qu Qian's brows twitched, especially after seeing him approach step by step with the dragon slaying knife in his hand. The Adam's apple rolled and roared: "Liu Lan, are you going to use force against me!" ”
"No, no, no!" Liu Lan smiled and said, "I'm here to tell you about the difference between me and Gongsun Du." ”
"Liu Lan, since you want to talk about the difference between you and Gongsun Du, then just talk about it, what is it to raise a knife now, is it intimidating?"
Liu Lan turned his head to look at the speaker, it was Wu Xi, and his palm immediately left the hilt. Instead, he stood in the center of the hall, facing Wu Xi, and said word by word: "I didn't want to threaten you. I don't even plan to intimidate any county magistrate, otherwise you wouldn't be here to meet me, but Xiangping Prison! ”
"It's a little more comfortable than that. What is the difference with Xiangping Prison? ”
"The difference? At least a few of them are still free. "Liu Lan can be regarded as a threat to Chiguoguo, after speaking. Eagle Eyes instantly turned to Qu Qian and said, "The reason why I will make the reorganization of Liaodong County and the garrisons of each county is that I have assigned such deployments. It's also a last resort, first of all, I don't know if you have ever thought about it, if the news of Gongsun Du's ban leaks out, what do you think Dong Zhuo will do? ”
Liu Lan asked himself and answered, and said: "As far as my analysis is concerned, there are no more than two possibilities, first, Dong Zhuo compromised with me and appointed me to take over as Gongsun Du, and second, he sent troops to attack Liaodong, and then chose a new county guard after picking up my Liu Lan." If it really comes to this point and the new county guard takes office, aren't you afraid of another Gongsun Du? ”
"The third one, right?"
Liu Lan laughed: "It seems that the Wuxi County Order is treating Liu as the second Gongsun Du, but this is the Wangping Order and the Wenxian Order that interrupted me, and did not let me finish the words, so that the Wuxian County Order misunderstood, I am going to reorganize the county garrisons, garrisons and county soldiers, but I didn't think about letting you hand over the county order seal letter, and this is the difference between me and Gongsun Du, I think everyone should be content, after all, you still retain the right in your hands, but the military power is gone." ”
Several county commanders began to think about it, but in the end they all chose to be silent, without military power, they were just cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, Liu Lan was happy, he could let them be county commanders all the time, and if he was unhappy, he could take their lives at any time.
Wu Xi stood up and said-for-tat: "The matter of military power is too important, and several of our county commanders must discuss it before we can give you an answer." ”
The hall was quiet, and the county commanders all looked at Liu Lan eagerly, and he didn't know that they were playing a procrastination trick again, shook his head and refused, and said lightly: "I don't have much time, let's make a choice now." As he spoke, he pulled out the dragon slaying knife: "Which county magistrate agrees, you can go out of the hall and go back to the post house to rest now." ”
threatened again, but unlike the previous time, this time Liu Lan moved the knife.
At the moment when he pulled out the dragon slaying knife, all the county commanders understood that Liu Lan would not give them any possibility of delaying time, since he wanted to threaten everyone to compromise by force, he must unite at this time, Wangping Ling Quqian gritted his teeth, jumped up, and said: "I don't believe that you really dare to kill all nine of our county commanders here." As he spoke, he swept towards all the county orders, and under his sharp gaze, all the county orders stood up hard, and at this moment, no matter what the purpose, they unconditionally chose to support Qu Qian.
Their performance was all seen by Liu Lan, their alliance was actually not strong, this was the same as the situation when he was under house arrest by Gongsun Du, but he was forced by various pressures and even interests, so he had to take risks, Liu Lan's pupils were very constricted, and a touch of fierceness flashed in an instant, toasting and not eating and drinking, just when he was about to make a difficulty, but unexpectedly, the county commander of the Liao team suddenly turned around and left.
The county commanders were all anxious, shouting the name of the county commander of the Liao team, but he didn't even look back, and left the hall directly.
"Nobody left?"
Liu Lan said to the eight county commanders, seeing that none of them squeaked, they came to the door and yelled Zhang Fei, and then the county commanders heard the sound of iron armor and iron blades rubbing outside the door, and then hundreds of armor soldiers entered the hall together, and the eight county commanders saw such a scene, and they didn't know what Liu Lan was going to do, so they immediately blew up the nest.
This scene made Zhang Fei, who entered the hall again, grin beside Sima.
At this moment, the roar in the hall was like a tide, and no one cared about Zhang Fei, who was laughing forward and backwards, and expressed his anger to Liu Lan, but Liu Lan winked at Zhang Fei, and in an instant, the latter took out a piece of silk cloth paper and handed it to Wu Xi.
This is your last chance, so let's take a look and decide what to do. (To be continued......)
