After resting for a night, when Zhao Amei waited in the guest room arranged by Di Fu the next day, it can even be said that she was looking forward to Di Xun to invite her to a new round of negotiations, but she received something that did not make her feel happy.

For some unclear reasons, Di Xun was temporarily unable to continue to negotiate with her, and instead was replaced by Di Xiang, the eldest son of the Di family. This made Zhao Amei, who had prepared a night of countermeasures against Dixun, faintly feel a little disappointed, but more of it was sudden anger and a sense of crisis that was not difficult to predict.

"If you don't think it's appropriate for me to talk about it, you can wait for your father to come back and you two will continue to talk......" As if seeing the dissatisfaction between Zhao Amei's expressions, Di Xiang seemed to be extremely considerate and suggested.

"It's all the same, since the general is here, then let's talk to the general." responded calmly on the lips, but in her heart she hated the other party's move by retreating: Zhao Amei believed that once she followed his words and waited for Di Xun to come to talk to her, even if it was as short as three or five days or as long as ten and a half days, it would become very difficult to see Di Xun.

The other party's move is just to put some pressure on himself and strive to reach cooperation as soon as possible.

Di Xiang looked at the noble man in front of him who pretended to be calm, and secretly admired in his heart that he could be at ease in the face of 'chaos', this noble man at least appeared to be extremely admirable on the surface, but he didn't know how much he could shake her heart by doing so?

Since it is a change, the way of negotiation will naturally have to be changed. Although it is still in the council hall, it is lit in advance today, and what is especially surprising is that there is not only hot tea waiting for it today, but also two small snacks with local characteristics are especially intimately served.

Zhao Amei looked at the fragrant tea desserts, and had a rough grasp of the atmosphere of today's negotiation in her heart, and exchanged a few words with the flute, and then directly entered the theme of today's negotiation.

"Yesterday, the city lord of Di proposed to take full possession of the land, population, army, and other matters of Raozhou......"

"My father had a conversation with me after he went back last night, and he also mentioned this statement......" Zhao Amei just started talking, and the flute put down the teacup and took the words: "He later said that he shouldn't have said this at that time." ”

"Oh? What does the city lord mean? "Dicon even admits that he was wrong? This made Zhao Amei sound a little incredulous, but she also felt that this was a good thing, after all, if the conditions were set too rigidly at the beginning, it would be difficult for the subsequent negotiations to continue.

"Father's meaning is that in addition to Raozhou, the land, population, army, and other affairs of Liuzhou should also be taken over by our Guanzhou." The flute chuckled lightly, and as he spoke, he noticed the slight change in the other party's expression after hearing his words, and took another sip of tea from the teacup with satisfaction.

"This ...... This is inevitably too demanding...... "Rao is Zhao Amei has a good temper, and she can't tolerate the other party to play herself like this again and again, this flute is clearly deliberately said like this, and she looks like she is ugly!" Zhao Amei, who understood this, could still suppress her anger, sneered, and said unhappily.

"Actually, in my opinion, this requirement is a bit low." Seeing that the other party's face was 'pale', Di Xiang was not polite, and directly lowered his face and retorted: "The matter of Raozhou has the cooperation of my two families, and it will definitely not be too troublesome...... This is already just around the corner, I Guanzhou has no intention of competing with the world, just like living your own life with peace of mind, can Your Highness not feel at ease? ”

"No matter who you are, you don't want to think about the knife behind you all the time, do you?" Zhao Amei thought to herself, if Raozhou and Liuzhou are given to you Guanzhou, won't the entire northern three states be your Di's small dynasty? The strength of the three states is not weak in the first place, and when the time comes, it will soon be able to grow under the control of your family, no matter which force in the Central Plains it is, it is a big threat!

"This knife can be used to stab oneself, but why can't it be used to stab others?" Di Xiang doesn't mind that it will cause the other party to be jealous, in fact, the more the other party knows the strength of his side, the more he considers the necessity of cooperating with himself, which may not be very useful to others, but for Zhao Amei, who is eager to negotiate cooperation, it has to be said to be a wonderful move.

"As long as we negotiate this cooperation, Guanzhou will immediately surrender to the king of Lanling, and then Raozhou will become a dish on the plate of both sides? At least nominally, it has earned a lot of face for our Highness, hasn't it? At that time, depending on the states that have been mastered, even if you ascend the throne and become emperor, it will be a matter of course...... By then, won't you be ...... too" At this point, the flute has already made it clear.

He secretly shook his head that he was really not suitable for this kind of thing, although he had made the most comprehensive preparations for possible situations and problems under his father's teaching last night, but it was still not easy to actually 'operate'.

If the second brother were to do this, he would definitely be much better than me...... The flute thought distractedly.

Zhao Amei was silent. How could she not know what the flute had said? Even I have a clear understanding of the off-string sound of these words. But the problem is that these words must be based on one premise to make sense: Guanzhou must abide by their promises as they themselves say and boast, and stand firmly on the front line of supporting the Lanling King.

However, can the promises of the people of Guanzhou be trusted?

Zhao Amei and the people of Guanzhou do not have much 'dealing', but they know a little bit about history, the historical Guan, Rao, and Liuzhou can be said to be synonymous with treachery, where is the slightest integrity?

How do you make the words of the person in front of you not just fall into words, but put them into real action? Zhao Amei had no choice, but fortunately, before leaving, Song Changgong said that he had a way.

"It's not convenient for us to talk more about staying in the state for the time being." probably had the answer in her heart, but Zhao Amei was not in a hurry to reveal it, but continued the topic about staying in the state that she had just mentioned.

"It's up to us to do it ourselves, and what we want to get from Your Highness is just a promise." After all, not long ago, Liuzhou was still under the custody of Guanzhou, but because of the change in the situation, it was just a matter of giving it to Zuo Wangting - the relationship with Zuo Wangting is actually the most uncertain thing in the current Guan and Rao, and the request for help has also been expressed, and sincerity has also been expressed, but every time it is a stone sinking into the sea, I don't know what kind of attitude that one ends......

However, as long as this cooperation is reached, then sooner or later he will have to tear his face with Zuo Wangting, in this case, what is the difference between actively tearing his face to occupy Liuzhou again and passively tearing his face? As Di Xiang said, Guanzhou is not afraid of tearing his face with Zuo Wangting, nor is he worried that the people staying in the state will be dissatisfied, what it needs is a word of permission from the orthodox heir of the Shu Dynasty in the Central Plains, as long as it is nominally reasonable, then those opposing voices will be silenced, and the rest only needs to roll up their sleeves and fight with the men and horses sent by Zuo Wangting.

It is a matter of time before it becomes the great clan of the three states in the north of the Shu Dynasty.

"If that's the case, I'm worried that you don't have the time to provide effective support when we need it." It is a matter of Raozhou and Liuzhou, and every step of Guanzhou needs to fight, fight with Raozhou, fight with Liuzhou, fight with Beidi, and fight with other forces that the Lanling Wangbu has to face...... With so many wars, can Guanzhou survive? Even if it can hold on, does it still have the strength to become the slashing knife when King Lanling needs help?

"Time is a big issue." For Zhao Amei's questioning, Di Xiang has no way to deny it, because it is indeed as Zhao Amei said, if you toss like this, it will inevitably 'get' Guanzhou to exhaustion in the end, and when the time comes, it will be said that helping the king of Lanling, who is a cooperative "partner", whether Guanzhou has a heart or not, is destined to be a powerless ending.

It's only time to make a fuss!

Seeing that the other party was puzzled, Di Xiang explained: "What we need is time, the time to digest Raozhou, the time to receive Liuzhou, and the time to prepare for the battle to defeat Zuo Wangting...... If Your Highness wants to be a breathless partner by his side when he needs help, he must keep pace with Guanzhou and try to cooperate again when we regain our strength. ”

"There are not many people who make demands on King Lanling in this tone." Zhao Amei did not hide her dissatisfaction with the statement of Di Xiang, but she seemed to have no other way to refute it except to express her dissatisfaction in this way.

Flute may have understood her feelings at this time, so although he did not accuse him of this, he did not show obvious displeasure.

"The matter of staying in the state, just do what you say, this nominal matter is not a troublesome matter." After being silent for a while, Zhao Amei said.

Hearing her say this, Di Xiang did not show any pleasant look, because he knew that the other party would definitely agree to his condition - even if the matter of Liuzhou was not taken into account as Di Xun said, if Guanzhou swallowed Liuzhou afterwards, it would not be an unexpected thing.

It's just that you have to deal with those noisy sounds.

The most important thing is the disposal of Raozhou. Want to monopolize Raozhou? Even if the other party agrees, Guanzhou has to weigh whether he can swallow it first - Song Changgong can't swallow the huge Raozhou 'privately' by himself, if the two of them want to eat Raozhou, they can only cooperate and eat separately.

"Deuce."

This is Zhao Amei's bottom line, the two families divide Raozhou equally, and then cooperate to reach a conclusion, one side acquiesces to the three states of the Di family, and the other side wants to give the other party full support as a 'handover' exchange condition.

"Good!" Di Xiang squinted his eyes slightly, and the 'fine' light flashed in his eyes.
