Chapter 94: Negotiations begin
The old snake smiled and said, "Brother Hu praised it falsely, and the level of the little brother is average, average." β
"Alright, don't be modest." Hu Long's big hand patted the old snake's shoulder heavily and said, "Old snake, I plan to send you to Suzaku to be responsible for negotiating with them for us, how about it, do you have any confidence?" β
The old snake is now dead, what did he do with such a mouth just now, now it's okay, the leader has spoken, even if he doesn't want to go, he has to go, after all, the tiger's head knife is still in his hand.
The old snake who was stunned in his heart, and said to Hu Long without any waves on the surface, "Since Brother Hu has spoken, brother, I will go for everyone, but can Brother Hu allocate some elite soldiers to me, so that I can have some self-protection ability." β
The old snake is not a fool, if he is allowed to go alone, it will really be fish on the board, and he will be slaughtered by Suzaku.
Hu Long thought about it, although the old snake is a slippery head, but this time it can be regarded as a head for all of them, and they can't treat others badly inside and out, it just so happens that he also got 50,000 yellow turban wrestlers from Zhang Bao, anyway, it will be sold in the end, it is better to give the old snake 10,000 horses to fill the faΓ§ade first.
"Okay, I'll give you 10,000 Yellow Turban Lux, two building ships, remember, be sure to understand the meaning of our surrender and Suzaku, don't have unnecessary misunderstandings with them." Hu Long said.
"Don't worry, Brother Hu, I'm still good at negotiating, and the brothers are waiting for my good news here." The old snake hugged his fist.
"Okay. Brother, it's up to you. β

The next day, when the Vermilion Bird Sailor was patrolling near Huanghuazhai on the Minjiang River, he met the old snake and others who came to negotiate.
Later, the two sides met, and under the old snake's efforts to explain their intentions, the officers and soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Naval Division guided them to the Suzaku camp in disbelief.
Yuan Yang, who was dealing with military affairs in the big tent, heard that his subordinates had come to report, and he also became interested in this water bandit leader, and ordered someone to bring the old snake to him for negotiation.
As soon as he entered the door, the old snake saw Yuan Yang who was sitting in the first place, and hurriedly walked over and knelt on the ground and said, "Villain, the former Minjiang Heavenly Snake Gang leader Old Snake, I have seen Marshal Yuan." β
Yuan Yang carefully looked at this so-called Yellow Turban Sailor General, and saw that he had a ruffian appearance and no quality of a regular soldier, and Yuan Yang had a bottom in his heart.
"Snake Gang Leader, please get up, come on. Give the snake gang master a seat. Yuan Yang greeted warmly.
After sitting down, the old snake hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for the seat." β
"Haha, the Snake Gang Leader is polite, listen to my subordinates, the Snake Gang Leader is here to surrender to our army?" Yuan Yang asked tentatively.
The old snake nodded and said, "That's right, I came to surrender to the marshal on behalf of all the gangs in our Minjiang River, and we haven't prepared a petition for the marshal yet. β
"Vote?" , Yuan Yang asked curiously, "This is a bit interesting, the snake gang leader will tell me what this name is." β
The old snake took out a map of the vicinity of the Min River from his arms, put the map in front of Yuan Yang and said, "Hui Dashuai, look here, this place is called Fengweidang, it is one of the most famous dangerous places in the Min River, and the one surnamed Zhang in the Yellow Turban Army is paying attention to this place." β
"What's the idea? Snake Gang Master, please tell me carefully. β
"That's the case, the surname Zhang let us set up an ambush in Fengweidang, intending to use the natural terrain of Fengweidang to give the commander's sailor troops a head-on attack, the purpose is to eliminate the commander's sailor troops." The old snake told Yuan Yang exactly what Zhang Bao had prepared.
After hearing this, Yuan Yang smiled and said, "You Zhang Tianshi have a good plan, and you still want to destroy the Vermilion Bird Water Master?" I think he is an idiot's dream, with the few broken boats in his hand, I only need to send the East River Sailor to defeat him, I think he is overestimating his own strength. β
The old snake complimented and said, "Da Shuai is so right, the surname Zhang is stubborn and self-serving, and he wants to use his broken boats to pull out Da Shuai's beard, which is really ridiculous." β
Everyone likes to listen to sycophants, and the same is true for Yuan Yang, who was extremely comfortable being slapped by the old snake, he smiled and asked, "Snake gang leader, do you have any plans?" β
The old snake came to Yuan Yang's side, pointed to the map and said, "Hui Dashuai, our plan is like this, first we will drop out of the main sailors of the Yellow Turban, and let them all gather near the Fengweidang ambush on the pretext of participating in the Fengweidang ambush.
Then our men will report the location of their hiding place to the commander, and when the time comes, we will be responsible for cooperating with the commander inside, and I guess that under the strong strength of your troops, the Yellow Turban Sailor will definitely be wiped out. β
Yuan Yang looked at the map a little distracted, he was a little worried now that the old snake and the others would be deliberately sent by Zhang Bao to lure him into taking the bait.
The old snake also saw the concerns in Yuan Yang's eyes, and his heart sank, looked at Yuan Yang and said, "Don't need me to say, I think you should also know that our so-called Minjiang gangs are actually water bandits in the Minjiang River, and as water bandits, what we want is profit."
The reason why we have a quarrel with that surnamed Zhang is because this old thing is like an iron rooster, he doesn't pull out a hair, and he also treats us as cannon fodder, and every time we fight, he first asks us to send troops to fight the damage in front, and his descendant Yellow Turban Navy is hiding behind.
As long as our offensive goes well, he will send people over to steal the credit that belongs to us, and if our offensive does not go well, his superiors will track it down, and he will put the blame on our heads. β
Speaking of this, the old snake listened for a moment, took a sip of the tea on the table, and continued, "In the eyes of his surname Zhang, we are like the urinal of their Yellow Turban Army, and we will take it out and use it when it is useful." When we don't need it, they start to think we're dirty again, and they want to stay away from us. β
"This kind of person is really hateful, as an army has no courage and heart at all, if you continue to stay in the Yellow Turban Army, I guess I will not see you again." Yuan Yang looked at the old snake and said jokingly.
"Dashuai is right, our brothers also saw the routine in this and decided to abandon the dark and turn to the light, and completely draw a line with them surnamed Zhang, for this kind of person, I think it is inevitable to be betrayed by his subordinates." The old snake said.
"Come, Snake Gang Leader, please take a seat, since the brothers in Minjiang have the idea of taking refuge in me, I will naturally welcome you with both hands, but Snake Gang Leader, before the operation begins, you have to go back and inform your rebel troops, and ask them to put a red tie near their sleeves to distinguish you from the troops of the Yellow Turban Army."
