Chapter 271: Negotiating with Zhang Liang
"How can I trust you? And how can you trust me? "This problem is very serious, it can't be handled well, once the two sides talk down, it will be a lose-lose situation, which Ye Chen doesn't want to see.
"First of all, our Yellow Turbans are now under great pressure from the imperial court and can only hide in the mountains, our soldiers are fine, but some old and weak, many people die every day, so I have to find a way for them." Zhang Liang paused and looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded, indicating that he believed what he said, and then Zhang Liang continued:
"As for how to trust you, we will send someone to follow you, and at the same time, our Yellow Turban treasure will not be given to you until you complete the task."
After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Ye Chen knew that the foundation of mutual trust between the two sides was too poor, after all, Ye Chen had killed too many yellow scarves, not to mention that Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao died at his hands.
Zhang Liang's proposal is not very good, and even although there may be an accident, once there is an accident, it will bring Ye Chen a lot of trouble, after all, Ye Chen has an obvious advantage now, and he has just obtained Liaodong, which is the time for rapid development.
"You are also very aware of my grievances with the Yellow Turban, I am not the most suitable person, and why did you find me?"
"There is no reason, there are not many people in the whole world who have the ability to help us, and there are even fewer who dare to help us, but you are different, you have the ability and courage, and you still have interests."
Zhang Liang's words Ye Chen felt very reasonable, the number of Yellow Turbans must be quite a lot, how many people to settle must be very powerful, and to place the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, what a crime this is, ordinary people are not willing to take risks.
Once the news leaks out, then the entire family will be wiped out, the benefits and risks are really disproportionate, and it is very difficult to keep the confidentiality work of placing so many people.
Ye Chen didn't fully believe Zhang Liang, or didn't believe it at all, because the foundation of mutual trust between the two sides was too poor, and it was not ruled out that the other party wanted to use this method to deal with Ye Chen. Even if Zhang Liang didn't want to do this, Ye Chen had just offended so many families in Liaodong, and they were all staring at Ye Chen, it was too dangerous to help the Yellow Turban at this time.
"The risk of our transaction is too high, I can pretend that I haven't seen you two today, you should leave quickly." Ye Chen didn't want to do it, and at the same time, he also had a tentative intention, so he said so.
"Haha, the heroic General Jianwei also has times when he is afraid, what, afraid that I will frame you?"
"I'm a businessman, I want to do things that have benefits, but this transaction is too risky, to put it simply, I don't trust you very much, and how much benefit can you give me, after all, the Yellow Turban Treasure is ethereal."
Ye Chen ignored Zhang Liang's stimulation and said lightly.
Zhang Liang frowned when he heard this, he had expected that everything would not go so smoothly before he came, and even thought that Ye Chen would arrest them and ask the court for a reward.
But through some observation and Zhang Jiao's instructions, he chose to come to Ye Chen when he was desperate.
Zhang Jiao once told him that Ye Chen must have a share in the destruction of the Han Dynasty, don't look at Ye Chen is now a powerful minister of the Han Dynasty, and has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, not to mention all the previous achievements, and now he is resisting the Wuhuan in the north with one fell swoop.
Of course, Ye Chen and the Northern Wuhuan are tired of what they don't understand, but it is not wrong to say that Ye Chen resisted Wuhuan with his strength, after all, it was Ye Chen who used his own strength to hit Wuhuan hard, and the current pattern is also Ye Chen's doing.
"It's very simple, help me arrange for the eight thousand yellow scarves to be old and weak, and I will pay you enough, and you must ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing." Zhang Liang didn't expect Ye Chen to have such an attitude, and he would use the way of a businessman to talk to him about the conditions.
Zhang Liang, who originally wanted to use other means, was suddenly a little dazed, because he suddenly found that he didn't know how to make conditions with Ye Chen.
Zhang Liang thought, businessmen are heavy profits, so they can promise heavy profits, and Zhang Liang has relaxed a lot after thinking about this.
"You can offer as much as you want, and I can even pay you a portion in advance." Zhang Liang didn't talk about the treasure, but directly asked Ye Chen to make a price.
Ye Chen found that he had successfully rounded the other party in, at least he understood some of the things of the Yellow Turban, this Yellow Turban not only had treasures, but at least a fortune in addition to the treasures, otherwise Zhang Liang would not have made such a condition.
"Don't talk about the price first, the transaction focuses on safety, and only when the security problem is solved can the price be negotiated with confidence, and it can be meaningful to talk."
"So what do you have to do to cooperate?" Although Zhang Liang is calm on the surface, he is not at all calm in his heart, and now he is under a lot of pressure, thousands of people are trapped in the mountains, lack of food and clothing, and there is no Lang Zhonghe medicinal materials, and people often die.
Some of them are strong, but they are not old and weak, and besides, the food in the mountains can't support so many people, so Zhang Liang will take the risk to find Ye Chen.
Now the imperial court is chasing very closely, and everyone wants to take the head of the yellow turban to make meritorious contributions, so they can only hide in the mountains, but there is too little food in the mountains, if they want to come out, but it is unrealistic to rely on them, the target is too big, it is easy to be attacked by the government, and those old and weak have no resistance at all.
"Quite simply, I have to pay a lot of money and I have to be safe. Therefore, for the fear of others, I will send troops to capture these yellow turbans and place them somewhere else. ”
"Impossible, if you go back on your word, then what if they go to the court to ask for a reward?" Zhang Liang hurriedly called out, Ye Chen was almost their only choice, if not, they might be trapped in the mountain.
Regarding Zhang Liang's reaction, Ye Chen had already expected it, so he didn't have any special expression.
"It's certain to ask them for rewards, but I can guarantee their lives, and I will also place them properly, and even help them clear their identities. You must know that under Guangzong City, I can keep more than 10,000 strong people, not to mention these thousands of old and weak. ”
Ye Chen's words made Zhang Liang speechless, except for Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, the generals of the entire Han Dynasty counted Ye Chen as the most harmful to the Yellow Turban, and at the same time, Ye Chen was also the best person in the entire Han Dynasty to the Yellow Turban.
Other generals, whether it was Zhu Jun or Huangfu Song, they all advocated slaughtering the Yellow Turbans, and only Ye Chen would save their lives, which was one of the reasons why Zhang Liang would come to Ye Chen.
Before he came, he also secretly investigated, Ye Chen did not treat the Yellow Turban soldiers with special treatment, except for being stricter, they can all live the life of ordinary people, and even many people can start a family in Liaodong and live a life that they have never had before.
Ye Chen's strategy for the Yellow Turbans was very simple, completely disrupted them, and then let them live the life of ordinary people, Ye Chen, who had land and a house, and had the conditions to start a family, was also willing to let them start a family. It's just that they were strictly guarded in the early days, and they were not allowed to leave their range at will.
This kind of life is simply a paradise for these yellow scarves, who used to choose to be yellow scarves when they couldn't eat and starved to death.
Zhang Liang had already learned about it in Yuxian, and he had also seen some yellow scarves and learned about their lives, but later found that there was no defense on the surface of Yuxian, but in fact, there were eyes and ears everywhere, and he was almost discovered.
These strengthened the reason why Zhang Liang was looking for Ye Chen.
