Chapter 276: Knowing Yourself and Knowing Your Enemy

Although Chu Cailao was reluctant, there was no way, and he could also see that this time Yan Siqi did make a lot of efforts for the peace between him and Yu Xiaotian, and he secretly helped him, but he was quite sympathetic to Yan Siqi.

In the end, Chu Cailao had no choice but to accept this final condition, and said that he would negotiate the matter with Yu Xiaotian the next day, and repeatedly thanked Yan Siqi and Zheng Yiguan.

Early the next morning, Yu Xiaotian, who had disappeared for several days, finally appeared at the negotiation site, on the surface he was still happy, he was very respectful to Chu Cailao, and even did not hesitate to give Chu Cailao a salute as a junior.

And Chu Cailao looked at Yu Xiaotian's coy appearance, and couldn't help but feel like he wanted to vomit, and he couldn't wait to pump Yu Xiaotian's big ear scraper, but this can only be thought about, even if he and Yu Xiaotian are right, he is a half-old man in his fifties, and he will never be the opponent of the tall and mighty Yu Xiaotian.

Therefore, Chu Cailao could only hold back the anger in his heart, and calmly greeted Yu Xiaotian on the surface, and after sitting down, the two sides began the final negotiations.

Lin Yiyang directly took out a list of the conditions drawn up the night before, handed it to Chu Cailao and others to watch, and clearly told Chu Cailao and others that this is the bottom line of their sea wolf, if Chu Cailao does not agree again, this peace negotiation will end here, and the next thing will be done by Chu Cailao himself, and his words are full of threats.

Chu Cai Lao and the others saw that the conditions proposed by the sea wolf were basically the same as what Yan Siqi told them the night before, so they didn't fart more, gritted their teeth and nodded and agreed, but just put it forward, hoping that the sea wolf could release more of his subordinates, but they were also categorically rejected by Yu Xiaotian.

So in the end, Chu Cai Lao had to agree to this peace treaty, but his heart was almost bleeding, 40,000 taels of silver made him feel distressed to death, he was two or three years down, and he may not be able to save so much silver, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to the capital for a long time, not to mention the sea surface in Quanzhou north of Weitou Bay, since then he can no longer set foot in it, you must know that Quanzhou is a land of fat, and there are many maritime merchants on the sea in this area, and the sea in this area is also very busy, after losing it, he has lost a large piece of wealth.

But even if he is distressed and painful, he can't say no no this time, he really can't afford to be beaten by the sea wolf again in a short period of time, even if he cuts the meat, he can only grit his teeth and admit it at this time.

Seeing that Chu Cailao had already admitted and agreed to all the conditions, Lin Yiyang immediately took out three copies of the terms that had been neatly written in small Kaigong and handed them to Yan Siqi and Chu Cailao to watch.

Yan Siqi also knew how much to write, plus there was Zheng Yiguan next to him to help, read these peace terms, and found no problems, and saw that there was a place where he Yan Siqi signed and drew a pledge on it, and he, as the guarantor, came to testify about the peace between the two sides, so he nodded and agreed, ordered someone to take pen and ink, signed his name in the guarantor's place, and pressed his handprint.

Chu Cailao was also helpless, signed and signed the three peace contracts and handed them over to Yu Xiaotian.

In the end, after Yu Xiaotian also signed and drew the pledge, he handed over one to Yan Siqi for retention, and one to Chu Cailao for retention, which was the end of this peace discussion.

According to the agreement between the two sides, Chu Cailao should evacuate all his subordinates from the sea north of Weitou Bay within three days of going back, and from then on, he must not let his subordinates enter the sea area in this area, otherwise he will be at the disposal of the sea wolf.

In another five days, Chu Cai Lao was to ship 40,000 taels of silver (not ordinary silver, but the best silver ingots from the government) to Weitou Bay and hand them over to the sea wolf tribesmen waiting there, thus completing the agreement.

If Chu Cailao can't hand over the silver to the sea wolf within the specified time, Yu Xiaotian can do whatever he wants, and then Chu Cailao will wait for bad luck!

Originally, Yan Siqi had to hold a banquet to entertain them after Chu Yu and the two discussed, but Chu Cailao and Yu Xiaotian both refused his kindness, and each said that they had something important to do and could not stay here anymore and wanted to return to their old camp.

So Yan Siqi had no choice but to agree, personally send them out of Bengang, and assigned two groups of men to escort them away with boats.

Yu Xiaotian's ship is fast and powerful, once he wants to kill Chu Cailao, he will definitely be able to catch up with Chu Cailao and kill Chu Cailao, so Yan Siqi wants to prevent Yu Xiao's angel from making this move, so he sent someone to send a boat to escort them away, which can be regarded as monitoring them.

And Yu Xiaotian and Chu Cailao, of course, didn't want to take advantage of this opportunity to kill each other, especially Yu Xiaotian, now that he has got what he wants, so he will not risk being said to be a trustworthy person at this time, and Chu Cailao will not be moved, on the way back, Lin Yiyang enjoyed the sea breeze on the straight deck of the Flying Wolf, sat at a small table, and drank tea with Yu Xiaotian and Zhao Mazi.

"Big boss! There's something I want to tell the big boss about next! But I don't know if I should say it or not! Lin Yiyang put down the tea bowl and said suddenly to Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian won a big victory in the negotiation at this moment, and he was in a very good mood, nodding and smiling: "Mr. Lin has something to say, you and I are one, you are my staff officer, what should you not talk about?" If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly! ”

Lin Yiyang nodded and said: "This time, we are here with Yan Siqi to discuss peace with Chu Cai, I don't know if the big master of Lu Dao can see it, this Yan Siqi and the Zheng Yiguan under him don't seem to be on our side this time!" ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Yu Xiaotian put down the tea bowl and asked Lin Yiyang.

"Although they are very enthusiastic about us and entertain us every day, I feel that this Yan master actually did not level a bowl of water, let alone stand on our side, thinking about us, but faintly, biased towards Chu Cailao's side! I'm speaking for Chu Cailao! Lin Yiyang said.

Yu Xiaotian continued to drink tea calmly, nodded and said, "Yes, I can see it too!" Mr. Lin thinks, why did Yan Siqi do this time? What was his purpose in doing this? ”

Lin Yiyang saw that Yu Xiaotian had already seen the eyebrows, so he nodded and secretly admired, Yu Xiaotian could see this clearly, and he was obviously much calmer than he expected, it can be seen that Yu Xiaotian was not carried away by the current victory, which is very commendable.

"In fact, although we proposed to ask Yan Siqi to be a guarantor this time, and come to him to discuss peace with Chu Cai, this matter seems to be helpful to Yan Siqi's reputation on the surface, but in essence, there is no more benefit to him! On the contrary, it takes a lot of effort! At least you have to manage a lot of people to eat and drink for many days!

But Yan Siqi is extremely enthusiastic about this matter, why is this? It can be seen that Yan Siqi does not just value the benefits of our coming here to make peace with Chu Lao'er, but wants more!

In the next few days, Yan Siqi and Zheng Yiguan are very concerned about whether we can talk about it, and try their best to promote the two of us to talk!

It doesn't seem to matter how much they have in it, but why are they so zealous? Lin Yiyang used two rhetorical questions in a row and said to Xiaotian.

Zhao Mazi and Luo Xianbin, who were sitting on the side drinking tea, were confused, listening to Lin Yiyang talking, watching Yu Xiaotian sipping tea calmly, but he didn't speak, so Luo Xianbin was a little anxious and interjected: "Mr. Lin, you don't speak happily, you can't say anything, why do you go around the bend!" Tell me, why are they so concerned about this Yan Siqi? ”

Yu Xiaotian put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin really has eyes like a torch, and he can see everything!" Hehe! As soon as you say that, I understand what you're trying to say!

Not bad! You are right, why are Yan Siqi and his subordinates so enthusiastic about this matter? This matter is actually very simple, because this matter seems to have nothing to do with them on the surface, but it involves their potential interests!

If my guess is correct, Yan Siqi and his subordinates, especially that Zheng Yiguan, are all very smart people, although they are friendly with us, and even cooperate quite happily, but they are not one with us after all, but another force that is self-contained!

We unexpectedly defeated Chu Cailao this time, and hit Chu Cailao hard, which can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations, and many people looked sideways.

On the surface, it is just a dispute between us and Chu Cailao, but in essence, it involves the balance of power in the coastal areas of Fujian!

Chu Cai Lao defeated and returned, we won a big victory, under the elimination of the other, we became stronger, Chu Cai Lao was seriously weakened, so there was a change in the amount of force in the coastal area of Fujian, and there may even be some vacuum of force and quantity, by the way you may not understand the word vacuum, I say simpler, that is, some places in the coastal area of Fujian may appear in places that we and Chu Cai Lao can not reach, which gives others some opportunities.

Yan Siqi's current strength is increasing very rapidly, most of his subordinates are people from southern Fujian, and they have a wide range of contacts on the ground in southern Fujian, and Yan Siqi wants to run Taiyuan Island and establish a territory that belongs to him.

To the south, but it is the scope of Chu Cai's old subordinates, they also have to be cautious, now Chu Cai's old and new defeat, the strength is greatly damaged, he naturally does not want to see us stretch our hands too long, the entire coastal area of Fujian is in the bag, so for them, it is not necessarily a good thing.

After all, they also have to rely on the sea in southern Fujian to earn a living, and once we occupy the entire coastal area of Fujian, it will certainly affect their interests.

So they don't want to see us push Chu Cailao into a corner, once that happens, we will be too strong, and no one will be able to restrain us in the future! Therefore, they must hope that Chu Cai Lao can continue to survive, and if necessary, once Yan Siqi and them have a conflict of interest with us, they can pull a helper and deal with us together!

Mr. Lin, I think so, do you think it's right? ”
