"Huh?!" Shan Xiongxin was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Mang to agree like this.

He asked for the price all over the sky, waiting for Liu Mang to repay the money on the spot. However, Liu Mang didn't make a counteroffer!

Shan Xiongxin even wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Shan Xiongxin heard it right, Liu Mang did agree.

Before Liu Mang came to see Shan Xiongxin, he carefully considered the conditions that Shan Xiongxin might propose.

Initially, Liu Mang fantasized. Shan Xiongxin and Chao Gai are both historical figures summoned by themselves, and they should take the initiative to belong to themselves.

But this is not possible.

These people, although they are historical figures, are also real people in this era. They are not systematically built machines, they are people with ideas and thoughts.

Moreover, they have territory and power. In other words, I will not casually give up everything to follow others.

The Hedong issue is a major matter, but it is not the most important task at present.

The Hedong issue is only a subordinate issue of the party's strategy, and it must be resolved quickly without hesitation or delay.

As for the three "no" conditions proposed by Shan Xiongxin, in Liu Mang's eyes, it is not too difficult.

Shan Xiongxin's subordinates, together with the salt farmers and their families, are only more than 2,000 people, and there are only a few hundred minions who can fight, and the combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning compared with Liu Mang's Taiyuan army.

What Liu Mang values is not so much this bit of people, but Shan Xiongxin and a few others, as well as their influence in Hedong.

If you don't accept the reorganization, don't enter Taiyuan, and don't participate in the war, it's all right.

I didn't intend to use their power to get over the party, as long as they didn't play a negative role.

Shan Xiongxin wanted to maintain the status of an independent kingdom. From the front of the eye, it seems difficult to accept. But with the passage of time, with the continuous growth of his own strength, perhaps he does not need to speak at all, and Shan Xiongxin will give up the three "no" propositions.

Liu Mang doesn't have any foresight, but he has experience in his past life. In the previous life, the return of Hong Kong and Macao, as well as the cross-strait issues that will be resolved sooner or later. is an example.

……

Liu Mang agreed without strings attached, which made Shan Xiongxin feel uneasy and even a little embarrassed.

"Don't you have any requirements for Liu Taishou?"

Liu Mang smiled. "Since Brother Shan asked, then I will make a request. Guaranteed my salt supply. ”

"That's fine!" Shan Xiongxin immediately patted his chest and promised. Although Bingzhou is not the boundary of his shipment, Chao Gai promised him.

Shan Xiongxin was really embarrassed, and took the initiative to add: "Liu is too cheerful and righteous, and I also swear a poisonous oath if I break the agreement." Died in the salt pond! ”

"I believe in single brother!"

"Let's give high-fives."

"Smack!"

……

When the hands of the two people struck together, Shan Xiongxin didn't even dare to believe it.

Shan Xiongxin felt that this negotiation was very successful.

In Liu Mang's view, this negotiation has also yielded great results.

Although it is temporarily impossible to command and transfer Shan Xiongxin and his gang, this is like doing big business, the contract is signed, and the goods will be their own sooner or later.

Important: Solving this problem paved the way to Hedong for seeking the party.

From another point of view, the issue of salt was originally requested by Liu Mang from Shan Xiongxin. Now that Shan Xiongxin has agreed to annex it, from now on, Taiyuan's salt supply will no longer be a problem.

……

The negotiations went so fast that it greatly exceeded the expectations of Xu Shiji and others.

The most excited are Wang Bodang and Qin Qiong. Although it is not officially attached yet, it is not a family for the time being. But at least it's a relative.

And Xu Shiji, who didn't know the specific details of the negotiation between the two, was very cautious.

Liu Mang didn't have time to stay longer, so he briefly discussed with Shan Xiongxin the way to communicate and contact in the future. Return down the mountain.

Although it is not a formal master-slave relationship, Shan Xiongxin is much more respectful to Liu Mang.

insisted on accompanying Liu Mang down the mountain and sending ten miles to the east before saying goodbye and breaking up.

Looking at the distant figures of Liu Mang and the others, Shan Xiongxin exhaled with relief.

Xu Shiji was still hesitant. "Brother Shan, just like that?"

"Liu Taishou is very interesting. If we were mother-in-law and mother-in-law, it wouldn't be like that. After Shan Xiongxin finished speaking, he leaned closer and whispered to Xu Shiji: "I know that you are careful and ambitious. For your consideration, Liu Taishou and I specially mentioned it, if my brother and someone want to find another job, Liu Taishou has nothing to say. ”

"Uh...... That's right...... Thank you, single brother......" Xu Shiji's expression was a little embarrassed, and his heart was very complicated......

"San Lang, you have worked hard." Shan Xiongxin called Wang Bodang, carefully advised, and ordered him to rush to Tianwangzhai and tell Chao Gai about the meeting with Liu Mang.

……

Liu Mang left Jiwang Mountain, and according to the original plan, he should return the same way, pass through Pingyang, and return to Taiyuan County.

But Liu Mang temporarily changed his mind.

Shan Xiongxin's side is very smooth, and Liu Mang hopes to take this opportunity to fight for Xia Chao Gai again.

The strength of Chao Gai's side is stronger, and if it can be persuaded that having Chao Gai and Shan Xiongxin in Hedong will not only greatly benefit the party's strategy, but also lay the foundation for a thorough solution to the Hedong problem in the future.

"Go to Linfen." Liu Mang ordered, "Shubao, you take my letter and go to see King Chao again." Let's just say, I've already met Master Shan, and I really want to meet him. The time and place of the meeting are arranged by him. ”

"No!"

Liu Mang led the high-ranking Yanqing and rushed to Linfen.

Linfen, also on the road from the Central Plains to Taiyuan, is closer to the south than Pingyang. Liu Mang wants to stay in Linfen temporarily, waiting for news from Chao Gai.

……

Fenshui goes all the way to the east, to the front turn, and then turns north not far away, which is Linfen.

"There are people in front, protect the young master!"

Gao Pet suddenly greeted, urged the mount, and rushed forward a few steps, blocking in front of Liu Mang.

Yan Qing and the guards immediately gathered together and protected Liu Mang in the middle.

On the road ahead, more than a dozen people came on horseback. Seeing Liu Mang's team, the person from the opposite side stopped.

"Who's on the other side?" Liu Mang asked.

"I don't know." Gao Pet cautiously searched the surroundings.

The dozen or so people on the opposite side are not worried, and what Gao Pet is worried about is whether there is an ambush around.

On the other side of the Fenshui River is an undulating hill. On this side, the terrain is relatively flat and open, and there is no sign of ambush.

The group on the opposite side had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Liu Mang's team approaching, they rode up one by one.

Immediately human, burly with thin cheeks. Although he didn't wear a helmet or armor, he didn't hold a weapon, but looking at his figure, he knew that this person was also a martial arts practitioner.

Seeing that the man was coming slowly, Gao Pet's one-armed flat-ended gun was aimed at the man and signaled him to stop.

The man was ten paces away, reined in his mount, and asked in a loud voice, "It's Taiyuan Liu Taishou's team, right?" ”

"Get out of the way." Gao Pet didn't answer, and the big gun was always flat in his hand.

"There is no malice here, but I have something to talk to Liu Taishou, so I ask Liu Taishou to come forward and talk about it."

Liu Mang wondered, how did this person know his whereabouts? Tima took a few steps forward, and Liu Mang asked coldly: "I'm Liu Mang, who is on the other side?" ”

The man clenched his fists. "Mrs. Liu is invited, in Xiahou Junji." (To be continued.) )
