The next morning, Yuyu returned to the enclave.

It was still Xu Shu who received him, and the two quickly finalized that the type of apology was a high-grade war horse, but there was a disagreement on the quantity. King Qiang said that he didn't have to worry too much about the apology, but Yuyu still felt that he should fight, even if he could give up this position, he couldn't let Xu Shu take it easily, this was a matter of attitude, otherwise it would not be a negotiation between the two sides, but a unilateral surrender.

Even if it is for the sake of smoother negotiations in the future, Yuyu does not lack the motivation to compete with Xu Shu, which is the experience he has summed up from his past experience. Bai Ma Qiang often traded with the Han people, and Yu Yu used to be the main person in charge of the tribe's foreign trade, bargaining with the Han merchants, gradually learning some business negotiation skills, and even slowly understanding some negotiation psychology. Of course, Yuyu's psychological level is at most in the embryonic state, but he at least knows that if he holds his position in the early stage and fights on the basis of reason, the subsequent negotiations will be easier, and he will suffer some small losses in the front, which may make the opponent make concessions at key points.

So he was very patient with Xu Shu.

“…… King Qiang is very sincere, but two thousand war horses are too many! ”

"In terms of weight, one horse is worth six or seven sheep, and three thousand sheep are converted into five hundred war horses."

"Sheep are mainly used to eat meat, and horses are much more versatile, they can pull carts, they can plow land, and they can be ridden, so the use value of horses is much higher than that of sheep. If you don't believe it, looking at the livestock market in Yizhou, the price of horses is at least ten times the price of sheep, or even forty times...... This is still the price of ploughing horses and chariot horses, not war horses. ”

"The market price of ordinary war horses is equivalent to the best ploughing horses and chariot horses. Sir, you are familiar with military affairs, you are an insider, you must know that good war horses are rare, and the price of high-grade war horses is ten times or even twenty times the price of ordinary war horses, right? I definitely didn't talk nonsense, if you don't believe it, you can go to the market and ask......"

(The price of livestock in the three countries under popular science: 300-500 yuan for sheep, 8,000-20,000 yuan for ploughing horses, 2-100,000 yuan for war horses, and more than 200,000 yuan for good horses.) The currency unit of this book is gold, but the price ratio is roughly the same)

Yuyu is well-founded, but Xu Shu didn't want to confront him in the field of value at all.

"Patriarch Judah, how much do you think is appropriate?"

"Three hundred! The number of sheep converted into price is much better. ”

Xu Shu's face sank: "My lord's life is worth three hundred horses?" ”

Yuyu wants to cry without tears, what is the player's fate? Xu Shu is simply playing hooligan! He can't answer the key words, as long as Xu Shu is not satisfied with the compensation, he can use this to resist and change the number.

So he continued to argue.

Yuyu cried poor and sold miserably, moved with affection, knew with reason, and had the courage to spend it with Xu Shu to the end.

Xu Shu was completely unmoved, no matter how Yuyu behaved, I didn't move. Yu Buzhi didn't come back, Xu Shu's task was to consume with Yuyu, waiting for the opportunity to touch the old bottom of the Qiang people, Yuyu wanted to pull the skin, Xu Shu was happy to accompany him, and sat there calmly while drinking tea while watching Yuyu's performance,

Yuyu said that her saliva was dry, and Xu Shu finally changed her posture.

Xu Shu got up: "It's noon, let's have lunch." ”

Yuyu: "......"

Just after lunch, Yu Buzhi came back.

But he was not alone, and he also led two battalions of border troops under the banner of Yizhou Mansion.

Xu Shu greeted him and saluted: "Lord, this is ......"

"Liu Yizhou was very unhappy when he heard that the Qiang people were forcing the enclave again, saying that the Qiang people didn't take him seriously, and first sent two battalions of border troops to the enclave to help in the war, and the state capital was still gathering troops, and when the assembly was completed, Liu Yizhou planned to personally lead the army to participate in the war." Yu Buzhi was triumphant, and only after finishing speaking, he pretended to have just seen Yuyu, and said with a smile: "Of course, I told the state pastor that the king of Qiang has the intention of negotiating a settlement, and he may not be fighting to death, but the state pastor has the responsibility of defending the land, and vows not to let Yizhou lose an inch of land, the mood is understandable, you say yes!" ”

"W, when was the order? Isn't the state capital unmixed? Yuyu stammered.

"Just in the morning. The governor suddenly understood the righteousness and realized that he should not stand by and watch the security of the enclave, and changed his mind. said that the soldiers were fast, and I was afraid that the order would not be in time, so I deliberately handed over the warrant and the troop transfer tiger talisman to me, and asked me to transfer the nearby border troops to enrich the defense. Look at this warrant, good calligraphy......"

Yuyu's face was extremely ugly.

Gao Yuanqiang dared to besiege the enclave on a large scale again, to a large extent, because he saw the discord between the state capital and Ba County, and it was difficult to fight for the deer to lead the lonely palm. Liu Yan suddenly changed his course and vigorously supported Zhulu Ling, once the two sides tore their faces, Gao Yuanqiang's military advantage would be greatly reduced. The Zhulu Army is already extremely difficult, and with the state government behind it to provide continuous support, the Qiang people want to conquer the enclave is tantamount to a fool's dream.

No wonder Xu Shu was so calm in the morning, it turned out that he had found strong reinforcements......

Can't put it off any longer!

Yu Buzhi asked, "How are you talking?" ”

Xu Shu seized the opportunity to put pressure on Yu Yu and said, "The patriarch of Yu is willing to give out three hundred high-grade war horses. ”

Yu Buzhi didn't accurately understand the meaning of Xu Shu's words, he didn't make specific requirements for the apology, and gave Xu Shu the power to deal with it, thinking that this was a condition negotiated by the two parties. Yu Buzhi quickly calculated the account in his heart, five hundred high-grade war horses, representing the wealth of millions of gold, Long Xin said with great joy: "It turns out that I am worth three hundred horses? Not bad, yes, King Qiang is too polite......"

Xu Shu's face turned red, but Yuyu was next to him, so it was not easy to remind.

But he didn't know that when Yuyu heard this, his liver trembled a few times.

Yuyu didn't know that the fish was so easy to be satisfied, and said that this guy said the opposite, and he was suddenly frightened. It's not that Yuyu's psychological quality is not up to par, he has been in contact with Zhululing so many times, Xu Shu has always played the red face, the fish is unwise and the white face is played, and he has never played a prestige on Yuyu, the so-called good-tempered people are more serious, and the consequences of the so-called good-tempered people are more serious, plus the fish is not wise and the wording is not exquisite, and the ridiculous words are a different taste in Yuyu's ears.

Worst!

Angry!

Come to think of it, the princes have one life, and three hundred war horses are embarrassed to take out their hands......

"Yuan Zhi, come here."

"No."

Yu Buzhi took Xu Shu back to the office, and relayed the views of Zhu Jun and others on the Qiang people's invitation to fight last night, and also expressed his own judgment, so that Xu Shu could better judge the situation in the next negotiations.

Xu Shu thought for a while and said, "The lord's concerns are reasonable, and his subordinates also feel that it is not that simple. ”

Yu Buzhi tilted his head slightly in the direction where Yuyu was: "You try to be as tempting as possible, don't be too obvious." ”

"Understood. What's going on with Liu Yan? ”

"I went to Chang'an again and asked Guo Yan for a letter......

The letter to the effect: We are concerned about the situation in the plateau enclave, and I heard that the Qiang people are powerful, and the deer leader is isolated and helpless, and in order to keep the country, someone went to Chang'an to beg the imperial court to send reinforcements to the plateau. We respect someone for the country and the people, and are willing to lead the Liangzhou army to the plateau. The enclave belongs to Yizhou, so say hello to the state capital first, don't say it unexpectedly.

Xu Shu was dumbfounded when he heard it: "Guo Yanken? ”

"It's just a letter, and it's not really for him to bring troops...... They dare to come, but I don't dare to accept it. Yu Buzhi laughed. In terms of confronting foreign enemies, the Liangzhou Army represented by Guo Yan has a very clear position, and he can force Liu Yan to reinforce the enclave by writing a letter.

Xu Shu frowned: "It's just a letter, Liu Yan will believe it?" ”

Yu Buzhi blinked: "I also showed him the legion teleportation scroll, and explained that it was given by Guo Yan." ”

Xu Shu suddenly realized, and his heart was extremely happy.

Liu Yan didn't know if the Liangzhou Army still had the legion teleportation scroll in his hand.

The Liangzhou army was willing to gallop to the enclave; The Liangzhou Army may have a legion teleportation scroll; Looking at the two pieces of information together, it's easy to draw a conclusion; It is not ruled out that the Liangzhou Army will collectively teleport the enclave to help the Zhulu Army fight against the Qiang people!

It is a matter of homeland security, and it is a foreign war, and the Liangzhou army blatantly dispatched troops, not only will not be criticized by the people, but can win a round of applause, wash away the notoriety brought by the invasion of Chang'an, and the Liangzhou army has the motivation to do so.

What about after the Qiang people?

Will the Liangzhou Army have other ideas?

It is easy to please God, but it is difficult to send God.

The Liangzhou army did not dare to provoke the Kwantung princes, but it did not mean that they did not have the heart of expansion. By aiding the enclave, following the old path of Qin's domination of the world, he first sought to seize the land of Yizhou and Bashu, and supported the Liangzhou army to conquer the world with the products of Bashu...... Just thinking of this possibility was enough to make Liu Yan's scalp tingle.

Will the Liangzhou Army come?

The odds are extremely low!

The problem is that Liu Yan doesn't dare to gamble, don't look at him as a prestige in Yizhou, but the Yizhou army rarely experiences wars, compared with the Liangzhou army that crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, the Yizhou army is as weak as a newborn baby, but it occupies a rich land......

Therefore, Liu Yan had to take practical action, and the first step was to let the two battalions of border troops enter the enclave.

Yu Buzhi used his strength to make profits, created chips out of thin air, and dragged the Yizhou Mansion, which was originally going to watch the fire from the other side, into the water, which made Xu Shu feel a lot of emotion.

Yu Buzhi said: "I asked Guo Yan, and he also thinks that the Qiang people can't play any tricks. ”

Xu Shu: "What does the lord mean?" ”

Yu Buzhi: "Promise them." ”

Xu Shu: "But ......"

Yu Buzhi's expression was serious: "I thought about it for a long time, the enclave problem must be solved, for us, and for the Qiang people. It is rare for the king of Qiang to put forward such a condition, without too many people shedding blood, and without having to fight a protracted war, each with its own elite, and the first war decides the survival of the enclave, I can't think of a better solution. ”

"Solve it one day earlier, develop one day earlier."

"Even if we lose, we can get out as soon as possible, we don't have to get stuck in the quagmire of long-term confrontation with the Qiang people, and the territorial resources don't have to be consumed here endlessly, and Yuan Zhi also knows that we are not rich in the deer territory......

"This is an opportunity!"

Xu Shu nodded, a battle to determine the outcome is indeed the solution with the least cost and the fastest effect.

Yu Buzhi said again: "The worst result is nothing more than defeat, I will be scolded, but the soldiers don't have to continue to fight hard." I've been in the limelight for a long time, and I don't care about that bit of infamy, and with my current reputation, connections, and strength, I won't lose the enclave to a thousand people. ”

Xu Shu's lips trembled slightly: "The lord ......"

Yu Buzhi waved his hand: "No need to talk about it." In the future, if you have the opportunity, you can earn your face back for me. ”

Xu Shu nodded heavily: "Hmm!" ”

"No matter what hole cards the Qiang people have, we have no reason to refuse at all. The victory or defeat of a battle, this kind of similar requirement to find death, the Qiang people dare to challenge, but we dare not take it, how can we mix it up in the future? ”

"When have we ever been afraid?"

"In the past, when I was weak, I was surrounded and beaten, so many times, I didn't coax the deer collar, and I gritted my teeth and carried it down. Now that the soldiers are strong and strong, the Qiang people are looking for us to fight alone, we are actually worried about this and that? What a deal! It's really in response to the old saying, the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are, and it's embarrassing to think about it......"

In the end, Yu Buzhi looked at Xu Shu and said seriously: "Believe in our soldiers." ”

Xu Shu was born as a ranger, and he was in the prime of life, and there was never a lack of blood in his chest, but he was unwise to treat him as a confidant, and handed over the military power of the territory to him. King Qiang's invitation to fight, always felt that there was weirdness in the middle, Xu Shu dealt with it carefully, listening to Yu Buzhi say this, Xu Shu was ashamed, and his dormant fighting spirit and competitiveness were completely stimulated, and he was arrogant and disdainful.

yes, it seems that the more you get mixed up, the more you go back......

After fighting so many vicious battles and carrying so much despair, what else is there to worry about?

Who is the deer army?

Believe in our soldiers!

After a pause of hesitation, Xu Shu was relaxed, there was something burning in his eyes, and he said angrily: "My subordinates know their mistakes." ”

"You take it easy, promise to promise, remember to try as much as possible."

"Hmm."

The negotiation started again in the afternoon, Xu Shu and Yuyu's mentality was completely different from that in the morning, the negotiation proceeded quickly, Yuyu readily accepted Xu Shu's asking price, and quickly ended the apology part.

Yuyu promised that 2,000 high-grade war horses would be delivered to the enclave within three days.

Then comes the most important part of the negotiations, how to solve the enclave problem.

Xu Shu also readily accepted the Qiang people's invitation to fight.

The general direction of the negotiation involves the details, and the two sides will inevitably have differences, and even some contradictions are very sharp.

But there is good faith on both sides for a solution. On the Qiang side, the entry of the Yizhou border army brought great pressure to the Qiang people, and they were worried that the night would be long and dreamy; On the side of the Zhulu Leader, Xu Shu was aroused to be arrogant because he listened to someone's words, and he was eager to prove once again that the Zhulu Army was a trustworthy iron army, and he also wanted to get it done as soon as possible, so he was also willing to cooperate. It is only a matter of time before the two sides work together to resolve the differences in details.

For the next three days, Yuyu traveled back and forth between the enclave and the big camp, and all the relevant details were finalized.

In fact, if Xu Shu hadn't deliberately tested the focus and tolerance of the Qiang people repeatedly, he would have been able to do it in one day at most. Xu Shu is arrogant and has a strong desire to fight, but Xu Shu is not a reckless person, as a king-level strategist and the actual controller of the Zhulu Army, Xu Shu does not allow himself to come nonsense.

The agreement was reached, and the two parties signed the document as a sign of solemnity.

The content of the agreement: 1,500 men on each side will fight each other until one side is completely destroyed or surrendered.

If the Zhulu army wins, the Plateau Qiang admits the existence of the Zhulu Territory in the plateau, is willing to live in peace with the enclave, and agrees in principle to the trade requirements between the enclave and the Plateau Qiang tribe (this article was proposed by Xu Shu, and Yuyu needs to go back to ask for instructions, which is of course passed later); If the Zhulu army is defeated, it needs to take the initiative to abandon the enclave and withdraw from the plateau; The two sides also pledged to refrain from seeking revenge on each other, regardless of the outcome of the battle, from recovering war losses from the other side (including those caused during the period when the Flying Army was on the plateau).

Location: Outside the enclave.

When: 5 days later.
