Chapter 121: Negotiation

When the curtain fell, Lu Xun brought frost, Wang Jie, with an army of 20,000, with the assistance of the defenders of Ram Ridge with a closed eye, successfully crossed the Mushui River and galloped towards Yuecheng, and the Shanyue army officially went out of the mountain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the same time, Jiang Yun called the Protector Lotus Yue, and after some explanation, he brought the evil wind and a thousand temple guards and quietly appeared outside the Xiongjia Fort. Although the two sides had already reached an agreement, Xiong Buju had also informed the family guards that there was no need to make a fuss about the appearance of Shanyue, and he would try to let him go. But now that more than 1,000 people appeared directly under the city of Xiongjiabao, the city guards couldn't help but be nervous, so they hurriedly notified them, asked the soldiers to be on guard, and ran towards Xiongfu by themselves.

The Xiong brothers had just had dinner, and were drinking tea and chatting in the study, when they heard that the soldiers were coming, Xiong Buju's heart moved, knowing that today was the day to do it, and he was busy asking the city guard to put all the Shanyue soldiers into the city, and brought Jiang Yun into the house to meet.

After seeing Jiang Yun in the living room, Xiong Buju asked straight to the point: "Brother Jiang, are you going to attack the Yang family today?" ”

"Plans have changed." Jiang Yun took a sip from the teacup and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiong, I won't be polite to you, just say it if you have something to say." I didn't come here today to directly mobilize troops, but to ask your brother Xiong to stand in line. Whether to stand on my brother's side, or on the Yang family's side. ”

Xiong Buju glanced at his brother, and was slightly stunned. In a high position, it is rare for Jiang Yun to speak so bluntly, often with a look, a light word, can see through each other's meaning, the two have been in contact before, and have reached an agreement, now Jiang Yun rushed to the door to ask again, always feel a little strange.

"Why did Brother Jiang say this?" Xiong Buju grinned and said, "Didn't we already discuss it before?" My Xiong family is naturally on your side, the mountains are more and more out of the mountains, we don't stop it, we don't report it, and if necessary, we can even join forces to fight the Yang family together. ”

"No, one time, another." Jiang Yun said: "Brother Xiong, you have been in the temple for a few years, of course you know the combat power of Shanyue, and naturally you also understand that once Shanyue comes out of the mountain, even if Ram Ridge and the Yang family unite, it will be difficult to stop." What's more, cooperating with the younger brother, the Xiong family can also get half of the mine profits, standing on the side of the younger brother, and the Xiong family is beneficial and harmless, since this is the case, of course you have no burden to stand in line. ”

Someone punctured his heart, Xiong Bu raised his old face slightly, and coughed lightly.

Jiang Yun no longer revealed his old background, bypassed this paragraph, and continued: "But now the situation is different. The situation of the Shuibei Lu family, Brother Xiong, you should know. ”

"Of course, don't talk about my Xiong family, everyone in the entire Yibei knows about it."

"If something happens to the Lu family, the son-in-law of the younger brother can't help but give some expression. My daughter-in-law has already sent troops to Shuibei to attack Yuecheng, so at this critical moment, Shanyue should not start a war with the Yang family at the same time, but the army on the front line of the Yang family must contain them and not let them continue to expand. ”

"Okay, Brother Jiang, you have something to say, what do you want us to do? I don't have a good brain, and I'm confused when I go around and around. ”

Jiang Yun looked at Xiong Buju quietly, was silent for a moment, and said directly: "The Xiong family immediately sent troops, occupied the mine, and attacked Wulong Ridge. ”

Xiong Buju's face changed, and he said tentatively: "What about Shanyue? ”

"I can't go out of the mountain for a while." Jiang Yun sighed: "This is the problem that the junior brother just said. What I want is for the Yang family to throw a mouse trap, temporarily stop the army and wait and see, maybe they will send someone to negotiate with the Xiong family, or threaten, or induce, now is a critical period for their expansion, and they will not give up easily unless they have to, and what you have to do is to try to help the younger brother delay time. ”

Xiong Bushuang also understood at this moment, and his face became a little ugly. "Brother Jiang means that you want my Xiong family to come forward alone and attack the Yang family? And Shanyue stood still and waited to see what happened? ”

"Not bad." Jiang Yun nodded in response: "Only if the Xiong family comes forward alone, the Yang family will wait and see for the time being." If my Shanyue sends troops, the Yang family will inevitably return to the army to rescue immediately, and the younger brother does not want to start a full-scale war with him at this moment. At that time, we can only temporarily avoid its peak and hide back to Yinan. The Yang family missed a great opportunity to expand in vain, how could they let the Xiong family go? Due to various considerations, Shanyue sent troops, which did all kinds of harm and no benefit, so he could not move. ”

Xiong Buju smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Jiang, you are going to roast us on the fire!" ”

"Not really." Jiang Yun said with a smile: "High risk naturally has high reward. Not to mention, just by taking back the mine immediately, the Xiong family can make a lot of profits, not to mention that if you take down Wulong Ridge, the territory under your control can be doubled. Money, territory, population, based on the three most important points of Yizhou, isn't it a great benefit? ”

"Brother Jiang, my eldest brother is honest, don't fool him." Xiong Bushuang shook his head and sighed: "Now that the mine is the lifeblood of the Yang family, and Wulongling is the place where the mine is stored, how can the Yang family sit back and watch it fall into the hands of my Xiong family?" There are about 5,000 troops stationed in Wulongling, and even if my Xiong family sends troops with all their might, it is only five or six thousand, and there is no advantage in strength at all. This matter is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, the century-old foundation of my Xiong family will be ruined. ”

Although Xiong Bushuang's words were polite, there was already a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone, Jiang Yun's idea was to use the Xiong family as a gunman, which was too far from the original expectation.

Jiang Yun also knew that what he had done was a little unkind, but this was only based on the premise that he and Xiong Buju were friends, and at this moment it was a negotiation between the two forces, and it involved his daughter-in-law, and Jiang Yun was still clear about the distance between relatives and relatives.

Since it is a negotiation, there is nothing that cannot be said. Thinking of this, Jiang Yun sneered and said, "Dangerous? Naturally, there will be danger, otherwise why would I look for you? Brother Bushang, you said it yourself, the Xiong family has a total of about 5,000 soldiers, you might as well ask your eldest brother, do I lack this bit of military strength in the mountains? ”

Evil Wind sat aside and sneered: "My Shanyue household is counted as five people, except for two old people and one child, young and middle-aged couples can go to the battlefield, if it is not for the Holy King's compassion for the people of Shanyue, why bother so much?" In one day, at least 300,000 troops can be raised. Looking at Yizhou, who can be the enemy? It's only a few thousand, and the Holy King is looking for you to cooperate because he can afford you, so can't he really do it without you? Push three and hinder, don't know how to lift! ”

Evil Wind has no friendship with them, and when he speaks, he is naturally more unscrupulous, unceremoniously, and makes Xiong Bushuang blush.

"Evil winds, don't be rude." Jiang Yun glanced at him lightly, turned his head to look at Xiong Buju, and said with an apologetic expression: "Elder Evil Wind is this stinky temper, Brother Xiong must not take it to heart." ”

"It's okay, I'm not such a stingy person."

"But although the evil wind is rude, the words are true." Jiang Yun changed his words and said: "Shanyue is not short of troops, and the Xiong family is only five thousand, which is really not much help for the younger brother." If you just follow Shanyue and wave the flag and shout, this kind of cooperation is too insincere, and the younger brother values the attitude of the Xiong family, not the troops. At the critical moment, whether the Xiong family can stand up or not is the basis for our cooperation. Moreover, in the eyes of the younger brother, even if the Xiong family defeats the Oolong Ridge, there is at least an eighty percent chance that the Yang family will not return. ”

"Is it possible?" Xiong Buju was stunned for a moment, and said, "As I know, Yang Xiaotian is not a good talker, and he can't swallow this evil breath. ”

"Of course, once the Xiong family sends troops, the Yang family will take retaliatory action sooner or later, but it will never be now. The Yang-Li coalition army is like a broken bamboo in the north of the water, and it can capture several cities every day, how can it fight back early for the sake of a mere Oolong Ridge? The Lu family is temporarily powerless to resist, and if the Yang family leaves, it will be cheaper for the Li family, so they will only take delaying measures, and after Shuibei is a foregone conclusion, they will come back and clean you up. However, by that time, Yuecheng had already been pacified, and when they returned, they would face Shanyue's 100,000 army, and the Xiong family could stay out of it. ”

Xiong Buju was slightly moved, and pondered: "What if the Li family attacks my rear?" The Yang and Li families are unpredictable, just like the former is still fighting each other, and in the blink of an eye, they will join forces to plot against the Lu family, who knows that they will not unite again? You must know that the Li family still has 30,000 Dongchu warriors who have not been dispatched, and they have the ability to eat my Xiong family. ”

Jiang Yun smiled. "Since the younger brother is fighting the idea of the Yang family, how can he let the Li family be idle? Brother Xiong can rest assured that the 30,000 warriors from the east will never come to Shuidong, and even if they come, it will be fine. The younger brother has ordered 80,000 troops to be stationed on the edge of Yinan, and they will be able to reach Ram Ridge in one hour at most. Xiongjiabao City has thick walls and steep terrain, even if only a thousand defenders are left, it is enough to withstand an hour. ”

Xiong Buju showed a look of struggle on his face, and was silent for a long time, before he made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Okay! We're done! But in any case, my Xiong family finally took a big risk, if it fails, the Xiong family will disappear from then on, but if it happens... The mine is all owned by my bear family! ”

"Big brother!"

Xiong didn't raise his hand and waved his hand. "Listen to me."

It was done, and Jiang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Deal!" (To be continued.) )
