"Gongtai, what kind of reply do you say they will give us today?" Jiang Feng asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Gong said: "I don't know, but Feng Xian, you must calm down." Remember, they don't dare to touch us, but they ask for us. The more powerful they are, the more they are inward-looking. Once the other party has any intention of making an offer, it means that they have already asked for us, and the time must be wide. First of all, we must bargain slowly, and we must hold the initiative in our hands. ”

Jiang Feng nodded and said with a smile: "You just wait for my good news." ”

"Haha, General Lu rested well last night? Come, have a morning tea. Deng Bing drank morning tea while eating these melons, which was considered breakfast.

In fact, in the Three Kingdoms era, people ate two meals, that is, rich idlers like Deng Bing had the conditions and mood to eat breakfast.

"Patriarch Deng, it's early." Jiang Feng arched his hand, sat on the Hu bed, and the subordinates also served Jiang Feng a morning tea.

"People are old, they don't sleep much, and they can't sleep." Deng Bingdao.

Hearing this, Jiang Feng's heart moved, and he said in his heart that when he was eating yesterday, he saw that Deng Bing was quite calm, it seemed that there was some change, and I hope it was a good change. After slowly sipping the tea, Jiang Feng said, "I think Patriarch Deng seems to have something on his mind?" Can you tell me about it and let Lu give Patriarch Deng a consultation? ”

Deng Bing's hand was stunned, his face did not fluctuate, and he said with a smile: "General Lu said that he was joking, how dare Deng's family affairs bother the general?" Besides, this year's wind and rain are good, the harvest in the field is good, and the old man is too late to be happy, where is there anything to worry about! ”

In order to cover up, Jiang Feng found that his ability to observe words and emotions had gradually improved, and the changes in everyone's hearts would be more or less manifested in their demeanor, expressions, words and actions.

Although Deng Bing seemed calm just now, Jiang Feng keenly captured the moment his words came out, and Deng Bing's movements were incoherent, which means that Jiang Feng's words hit the point. Later, in order to cover up the truth, Deng Bing deliberately said something about family affairs and smooth weather.

On the other hand, what happened is likely not to be a family affair, let alone a smooth one. Could it be that there is something wrong with the Deng family's Zhuangzi? In any case, as long as they are in trouble, then their existence is more valuable.

"Oh? Since Patriarch Deng has nothing to do, can we talk about what I said yesterday? Jiang Feng said.

Deng Bing is now an ant on a hot pot, and the Liang family's suffering on his side must be overnight, but the only thing he can't be sure of is Lu Bu's true identity.

"General Lu, this piece of Baijuan is yours, right?" Deng Bing took out the piece of Baijuan that Lu Bu deliberately lost.

Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows, Deng Bing actually took out that Bai Juan like this? This is to open the skylight and say something bright, so uncontrollable, what happened in Luoyang?

"Oh? I'll take a look. Jiang Feng took Bai Juan over unhurriedly and looked at it casually.

Jiang Feng didn't speak, he waited for Deng Bing to continue to speak, Deng Bing must have lost his breath.

Deng Bing saw that Lu Bu didn't speak, and said: "General Lu, I can take you down if I go first, and then send it to Dong Xiangguo together with this piece of Bai Juan, and then I am afraid that you will only have the share of the head on the ground." ”

As he spoke, Deng Bing clapped his hands, and more than a dozen strong men really rushed out of the door, and surrounded Lu Bu in an instant.

Jiang Feng's scalp tightened, and his first thought was, if it was really Dong Zhuo's own business, I am afraid that there would be no place to die, and he wanted to get up and fight out with his fists clenched.

His body had already stood up, and Jiang Feng calmed down again.

Deng Bing was also startled when he saw Jiang Fengmu stand up. However, he was also sure that Lu Bu was not sent by Dong Zhuo, otherwise he would not have made such a big move.

Jiang Feng also felt that Deng Bing should not arrest himself for this matter, it was likely that he was testing himself, otherwise he would not be able to sit beside him.

Jiang Feng took a deep breath, sat down slowly, and said, "Patriarch Deng, this is a joke. Do you think that just with your words and a piece of Bai Juan, you can put me to death in front of Dong Xiangguo? I was underestimated. ”

Deng Bing stared straight at Lu Bu, and Lu Bu looked at him without dodging, and after a while, the two of them laughed at the same time.

"General Lu, don't care, Deng is just joking with the general." As soon as Deng Bing waved his hand, more than a dozen strong men retreated like the wind.

"Patriarch Deng, you can't make such jokes." Jiang Feng picked up the tea and took a sip, then stopped talking.

Deng Bing was also silent, and after a while, he said, "General Lu, can you take out the real edict and take a look?" ”

Jiang Feng said: "So Patriarch Deng agreed to Lu's request?" ”

Deng Bingdao: "As long as we see the true edict, we can talk about anything." ”

Deng Bing's edict is naturally not because of how loyal and patriotic he is, but because he wants to know whether Lu Bu is on the same position as himself. What he needs on the surface is a name, but what he actually needs is an attitude.

"Okay, I'll show you the Queen Mother's blood edict, so let's talk about the specific conditions."

"Bang." Jiang Feng returned to the guest house and closed the door heavily.

Chen Gong said: "Lord, did the Deng family agree to the money and food we wanted?" ”

Jiang Feng threw a scroll of books on the table and said, "They agreed, but they also put forward corresponding conditions, you can take a look." ”

Chen Gong took the book and looked at it, and there were more than ten large and small clauses listed on it.

The Deng family would use all means to help LΓΌ Bu capture Luoyang, providing LΓΌ Bu with all the money and grain, chariots and horses, salt and iron, and even a certain number of soldiers. It can be described as exhaustive and spares no effort.

However, the corresponding conditions are also very high, after the matter is completed, the Deng family wants part of the governance rights of Xingyang, the right to develop salt and iron, the right to control trade, and the right to accept the fate of the official position, etc.

Chen Gong looked at these conditions, and he also broke out in a cold sweat. "Lord, if you agree to these conditions, I'm afraid that the entire Xingyang will be the world of their Deng family."

Even if Jiang Feng does not understand the political foundation and property rights distribution of the Three Kingdoms period, it can be seen that these conditions of the Deng family are to turn Xingyang into their Deng family's backyard.

"Say, what should we do with these conditions?" Jiang Feng asked.

Chen Gong said: "They don't know our bottom line, so naturally the lion opened his mouth." If they sit on the ground and raise the price, we will naturally be able to repay the money on the spot, and in my opinion, we only need to agree to half of their conditions. There are a few things that must not be put down, such as the resignation of officials and the development of salt and iron, which are the lifeblood of the country and cannot be touched lightly. As for the rest, it's nothing to promise them for the time being. ”

Jiang Feng slammed the table and said, "I don't want to give them any of them, these people are just shadowing the merits of the ancestors, and they have obtained such a big family business." They are the moths of the country, constantly eroding the country's increasingly thin body, and eventually causing the people to live in misery and complaining. And when the country is in turmoil, they are still happy, and they don't care about the poor people who are living in dire straits. In my opinion, something important must have happened that scared them, otherwise they would still be waiting to sell at the price. ”

Chen Gong said: "Lord, do big things without restraint, although they don't care about the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, but now they are our only allies, at this time, we must not turn against them." If we lose their support, we really don't have the ability to compete with Dong Thief, please think about the society and the young emperor and the queen mother who are trapped in the Yong'an Palace. ”

Jiang Feng took a deep breath, waved his hand and said: "I know, you can watch and handle this matter, you are familiar with the civil affairs, you can decide what to give them and what not to give them." ”

Chen Gong said: "Yes, my lord, I will draw up a plan, and then ask the lord to decide." ”

In the end, Lu Bu reached an agreement with the Deng family, not only the Deng family, but other major families would also agree to this agreement. The major families are in the same spirit, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.

In order to express their gratitude, the Deng family immediately took out a ton of grain, thousands of pieces of linen clothes and a thousand catties of iron as a way for Jiang Feng to go to the army. However, Jiang Feng naturally couldn't transport these things back to Luoyang, so he deposited them in the Deng family, and Jiang Feng also thought of a way, if he gave full play to the advantages of these big families.

Returning to the Bingzhou military camp in Luoyang, Jiang Feng told Zhang Liao and others the news, and such news naturally shocked everyone's spirits.

Jiang Feng said to Gao Shun: "Gao Shun, I want the two of you to work together to build a powerful sharp knife force for me, and this force must be invincible and invincible." I want this army to be my spearhead and use it to defeat all my enemies. Can it be done? ”

Gao Shun patted his chest and said, "Lord, don't worry, I won't let you down, leave it to me." ”

Jiang Feng pointed at Dian Wei again and said: "Dian Wei is a brave general, he can be called the enemy of ten thousand people, he will be the sharpest blade on your sharp knife." ”

Dian Wei said: "Dian Wei will definitely not disappoint the lord." ”

Jiang Feng also instructed Zhang Liao to select loyal cadres and let them send out with a small number of sergeants to station in the villages of the major families. On the one hand, build ordnance and train new soldiers; On the other hand, it can also prevent people from these families from turning against the water.

However, this time Jiang Feng saw an unexpected person in the Bingzhou military camp, which was the family that Jiang Feng ordered Zhang Liao to release the pork seller before.

I don't know why, this old man and his two sons are still in the barracks.

"Zhang Liao, what's going on? Didn't what I said work? Jiang Feng was furious, he couldn't believe that his order was taken as a deaf ear, was this worth it?

Zhang Liao hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Lord, listen to me slowly, there is another hidden truth here." We've sent someone to send him back, but it's just ......."
