Chapter 211: Bargaining (Second Update)
Although Liu Feng's face was relaxed, but the words in his mouth were quite weighty in the ears of Shixie and Shihui, what could not be promised in the letters, except for the territory, what else could there be, Shixie heard the words, although he did not take any action, but his face was a little dignified, the prestige he had accumulated in Jiaozhou in the past few decades, naturally did not want to be ruined here because Liu Feng had just risen.
"General Ziwei said with a smile, since you and I have formed an alliance, what is the matter with the general, as long as I can help each other in these counties of Jiaozhou, Xie will never refuse, Xie is already over the age of old, and his words still have some weight in this Jiaozhou land."
At first glance, Shi Xie is expressing goodwill to Liu Feng, but in fact, he is showing Liu Feng that if it is a matter of helping each other, Shi Xie will definitely not refuse, but if Liu Feng has something beyond his allies, Shi Xie will definitely not compromise at will.
But at this time, Liu Feng didn't seem to have much feeling about Shi Xie's words, and put a fruit in his mouth casually, and after eating, he said again: "Since there is the old general Weiyan's words, Feng will feel at ease, Feng came this time, and there is indeed a matter that needs to rely on the old general Weiyan......"
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Shi Xie and Shi Hui just breathed a sigh of relief, but after listening to the second half of Liu Feng's sentence, the hearts that the two had just put down were hung high again, and when Shi Xie had to ask tentatively: "I don't know if General Yi Ziwei is brave, what else do you need to help each other?" ”
Liu Feng saw that Shi Xie was so cautious, and knew that for Shi Xie, everything should not be rushed, once the purpose of this trip was said early, most of them would be prevaricated by Shi Xie for various reasons, so he gave Shi Xie a little bow, and said: "Since Feng Zili, Jiangdong Sun Quan and Xiangyang Zhuge Liang have attacked each other several times, although they have all been sealed and can be resisted, but they also know that the land where Feng is located in the five counties of Jiangdong is quite restrictive, so this time I came here to seek the help of General Weiyan, so that Feng can fight against Jiangdong and Xiangyang, If you can control the entire territory of Jingzhou, you will be rewarded! ”
As soon as Liu Feng's words came out, Shi Xie was even more unclear, so he had to frown and said: "The army led by General Ziwei is worthy of the division of tigers and wolves, although there are defenders in Jiaozhou, but because they have not experienced war all year round, they are different from the world and the army under General Ziwei, so although Xie has the heart to help, he has no choice but to have more than enough strength and strength. ”
Shi Xie heard Liu Feng say this, he thought that Liu Feng was here to recruit soldiers, and he was nervous at the moment, Jiaozhou is large, and the most scarce thing is the population, although there are hundreds of thousands of households in Jiaozhi County, but they are sparsely distributed, and most of them are local ethnic groups, if Liu Feng takes away tens of thousands at once, it will not be able to recover within ten years for Jiaozhi, so it is the thing that Shi Xie is most afraid of, and he is naturally tight-lipped.
"The old general Weiyan is serious, although the sergeant in Feng's hands is also stretched, but he also knows that there are few people in Jiaozhou, so Feng's invitation is another matter."
Hearing that Liu Feng's invitation was not a borrowed soldier, Shixie's father and son breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "But what's the matter, General Ziwei said that it doesn't matter, Shixie should do his best to help." ”
"Feng really wants to borrow something from the land of Jiaozhou for temporary use, but this thing is not a general, but I don't know if the old general can cut love and help each other." When Liu Feng saw Shi Xie like this, he was full of smiles and said softly.
"But whatever I hand over to the state, I naturally won't be stingy, since General Ziwei and I are already allies, how can I not lend the things to the general, don't say borrow, just give the general a little, what's the matter?" Shi Xie only said that what Liu Feng wanted to borrow was just some special minerals or other supplies from Jiaozhou, and immediately waved his hand and boasted about Haikou.
Liu Feng's words were so tortuous, waiting for this time, he smiled, stood up, and said loudly: "Feng and Zhuge Liang have fought several times, but they are not afraid, but the Jiangdong Naval Army has always plagued me in the land of the five counties of Jingzhou, which is really an intractable problem, therefore, Feng wants to borrow from the old general Weiyan's brother Shiwu to borrow a county in the South China Sea adjacent to Jingzhou, and wait for Feng to train an elite naval army in the South China Sea, and return this county. Therefore, Feng came here thousands of miles away, and hoped that the old general Weiyan would complete one or two! ”
As soon as Liu Feng's words came out, Shi Xie's father and son stood on the spot for a while, and they didn't know what to say for a while, Liu Feng's remarks were already blocking all the roads that Shi Xie could refuse, although the land of a county in the South China Sea was in the hands of Shi Xie's brother Shi Wu, but Shi Wu was also a person sent by Shi Xie, Liu Feng made this clear, Shi Xie could not refuse Liu Feng with the fact that he could only control the land of Jiaozhi County, and because Nanhai County was sparsely populated.
Although Shiwu controlled the South China Sea, he did not do anything in Nanhai County, and Liu Feng did not get involved in the training of the navy. Now that he has been proposed by Liu Feng, although Shi Xie is unwilling in his heart, he can't easily offend Liu Feng, so he is in a dilemma.
"This ...... Forgive Xie bluntly, General Ziwei wants to borrow the land of a county in the South China Sea, it is not a trivial matter, although the affairs of Jiaozhou are led by Xie, but the South China Sea is the place of my brother's warriors, and it is not appropriate to discuss with him, so it is not appropriate to be reasonable, so ......"
Liu Feng naturally expected this kind of prevarication, and waved his hand at the moment, and said: "Feng borrowed this land in the South China Sea for nothing, if the old general Weiyan can borrow the South China Sea to Feng, within two years, it will definitely be returned, and help Jiaozhou train an elite navy, so that the South China Sea will not be harassed by the Jiangdong navy and the surrounding water bandits!" ”
Looking at the Central Plains, if it is talking about the navy, only Jiangdong, although Jiaozhou is also close to the river and sea, it is powerless and unable to make warships, and where can the navy come, so it is not that Shixie does not want to develop the navy but is really powerless, so Liu Feng's promise made his heart move.
"I don't know...... Can General Ziwei build several warships for my Jiaozhou? Thinking of this, Shi Xie couldn't help but ask tentatively.
"If you don't have a warship, how can you be called a navy?" Liu Feng saw that Shi Xie changed his appearance when he heard this, and immediately replied with his head held high.
"If this is really the case, this matter Xie can naturally do his best for General Ziwei." Shi Xie thought about it, and felt that Liu Feng should not be rejected on this basis, not to mention that Liu Feng put forward such a rich condition, and set a two-year period, it can be said that the road to Shi Xie's refusal was completely blocked, if Shi Xie could not push the boat down the river to deal with this matter, Liu Feng was angry, and he could capture Nanhai County with his backhand.
