Chapter 794 Negotiation (II)

After taking the information handed over by Chen Gong, just glancing at the top few words of the information, Li Ru couldn't help but look at Chen Gong in surprise, and his already solemn expression became more cautious.

In addition to being shocked, Li Ru slowly stroked the information in his hand, and at the same time pondered quickly in his mind, "Chen Gong actually took out this information without hesitation and let it be read by himself, is it to show generosity, or is there something else?" ”

"Fengxiang Heavy Infantry Battalion Daily Equipment, Military Equipment, Logistics Detailed Account".

This is the information that Li Ru has at hand!

All the information related to the construction of the territorial army is more sensitive, should be classified into the category of confidential information, "Fengxiang heavy step battalion daily equipment, military personnel, logistics details" directly record a lot of first-hand information of an important armed forces, no matter from which point of view, this information should be the top secret of the top secret, in other words, in Bogu, the invincible Dongzi is still afraid of hiding and tucking, where will it be taken out to show others the truth?

You must know that the relationship between Fengxiang City and Bo Gucheng is not only incompatible with the word "intimacy", everyone has already torn their faces, and they can't wait to trample each other under their feet and stomp on each other a few times, but for the sake of the overall situation, everyone wisely maintains restraint. The deputy city lord of Fengxiang showed Li Ru this information, which immediately aroused Li Ru's vigilance, and Li Ru, who knew that "cheap and not greedy", felt the information with his palm, but he was reluctant to open it for a while, which shows how cautious he is.

"Deputy City Lord Chen, what does this mean?"

Chen Gong smiled indifferently and said calmly: "There is no other meaning, this information was sorted out when we made a proposal for compensation, although the content of the record is relatively sensitive, but it does not really involve military secrets, and we will never ask Bogu to 'exchange courtesies' and publish the relevant information of the Euphorbia, but it doesn't hurt for Li Junshi to see it." The heavy infantry battalion participated in the two wars between you and us, and from the equipment level and daily maintenance of this unit, Li Junshi should be able to see some clues. ”

Chen Gong's upright temperament made Li Ru's heart widen, and he chose to believe his words again. According to the deputy city lord of Feng Xiang, the information he held in his hand seemed to be the basis for the compensation plan proposed by Feng Xiang.

Spread out the information, and just after reading a few lines, Li Ru's face was extremely ugly, as if there was some kind of flood beast in the information.

Raising his eyes and looking at Chen Gong, his eyes were full of doubts and questions, Chen Gong always sat there calmly, with a smile on his face, but his eyes looked at Li Ru without giving in, his eyes were clear, like stars in the night sky. When Li Ru retracted his gaze and continued to read the information, Chen Gong leisurely tasted the best new tea. In this process, for more than ten seconds, the two didn't even say a word, but the two king-level strategists with wisdom had already understood what they meant to each other.

This tacit understanding does not need to be declared at all.

The more Li Ru reads the content on the information, the more shocking he feels!

Li Ru could see at a glance that the class that Feng Xiang called the "Heavy Infantry Battalion" was actually the same as the second-ranked main battle arm "Rock Regiment" in Bo Ancient City, and it belonged to the same hoplite sequence, but the name was different. As long as the territory is upgraded to a third-level city, the player's territory can train and recruit level 58 hoplites, and so far in the game, third-level city-level territories abound, and hoplites are not a rare class.

However, this does not mean that the heavy infantry is useless, after all, it is an advanced class of troops that is 8 levels higher than the ordinary infantry, compared with the ordinary infantry, the defense of the hoplite has a great degree of improvement, and it can easily block the arrows shot by the long-range troops, which is a very suitable meat shield, and in large-scale legion battles, the value of the hoplite is huge and irreplaceable. There is a relatively unified view among lord players: the number of regular heavy infantry can often directly measure whether and how powerful a province is in terms of military and economic strength.

Conditional player territories will more or less recruit some heavy infantry, but in most third-level cities, the number of heavy infantry recruited will not exceed 1,000, and even more, some lord players simply only recruit one or two hundred heavy infantry as honor guards, or...... Goalkeeper.

The reason for such a strange phenomenon is that the recruitment cost and daily consumption of hoplites are too large, and players cannot recruit a large number of them while appreciating their strong combat power. With Fengxiang's daily progress and doujin, before the start of Bogu's provocative action, he only maintained the establishment of 2,000 heavy infantry, Kakaluka's Wuhu City, Wuxin's Qilin City, the invincible Dongzi's Bogu City, and the inhuman city with light clouds, and the number of heavy infantry was mostly between 2,000 and 3,000.

Using the number of heavy infantry to measure whether a territory is strong or not, this "theorem" actually does not apply to Fengxiang.

The reason why everyone uses heavy infantry as a ruler is that heavy infantry is an advanced class of troops that all player territories can have, unless the territory is expanded to a certain size, and the system will launch more advanced conventional troops, otherwise, heavy infantry is the trump card army in the hands of the vast majority of lord players. The same is true for Bogu, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Jaw could train a special class of Euphorbia full of legends, the Rock Legion formed by hoplites would be the absolute main force of course.

Feng Xiang is different, above the heavy step battalion, Feng Xiang also has a trap camp, a flying wing battalion and a first dead soldier!

Aside from the three special troops, Fengxiang also has cavalry units that make some princes jealous, Li Jin's Thunder Cavalry and the Wuhuan Light Cavalry of the Talan tribe are also ranked above the Chongbu Battalion. With so many strong soldiers, Ah Niu naturally didn't need to climb the number of infantry with other lords, and between "honor" and "practicality", a certain city lord wisely chose the latter.

"Even if Feng Xiang doesn't have a single heavy infantry, I'm afraid no one dares to say that Feng Xiang's army won't be beaten!"

With Li Ru's core position in Bogu, important information in all aspects of the territory has a "backup" in his mind, the Fengxiang Heavy Step Battalion and the Bogu Rock Legion belong to the same class, and when he sees the relevant information of the Heavy Step Battalion, Li Ru will naturally subconsciously compare the Rock Legion.

In comparison, Li Ru longed for a crack in the ground that he could get into.

Originally, he thought that the Bogu Rock Legion was already a relatively money-burning army, if it weren't for the luxury of a more elite and money-burning halberd, Li Ru would really frown. However, when he saw the information of the Heavy Step Battalion, Li Ru was surprised to find that the daily consumption of the Fengxiang Heavy Step Camp was actually three times that of the Rock Legion, which was equivalent to the level of the Euphorbia of the Bogu Ace Army!

How can it be?

Li Ru's first reaction after seeing the content of the information was: Feng Xiang faked! In order to get more compensation from Bogu, blatant fraud!

Yu Gong, Li Ru is the highest negotiator sent by Bo Gucheng, and Li Ru naturally can't turn a blind eye to Feng Xiang's "blackmail"; In private, Li Ru felt even more ridiculous, Feng Xiang showed him this thing, purely insulting Li Ru's wisdom, don't play people like this. When he looked at Chen Gong just now, Li Ru did not hide his dissatisfaction with this matter.

But Li Ru faintly realized that the situation did not seem to be as unbearable as he imagined, and Feng Xiang, who had completely grasped the initiative, did not need to do that. Chen Gong just used a calm and calm gaze to make Li Ru understand a fact: the information he held in his hand should be true, and Feng Xiang spent so much on the army!

So Li Ru looked at it very seriously, hoping to find flaws in some details.

In terms of the equipment used by the Fengxiang Heavy Infantry Battalion, the quality of the armor, swords, and shields is similar to that of the Bogu Rock Legion, but the diversity of equipment is superior. When he saw this, Li Ru couldn't help but groan a few times in his heart, it was obviously a meat shield army, why was it equipped with bows and arrows? A set of bows and arrows is not enough, but everyone is equipped with expensive rhubarb crossbows, does Ah Niu want the Chongbu camp to be a guest archer or a crossbowman?

Li Ru raised his own questions while watching, and Chen Gong, who was sitting there idle, answered them one by one.

"Feng Xiang is also a thin family business, and the forces that want to get some benefits from us have never been broken, look at how many wars Feng Xiang has encountered, you should know that what I said is true." Chen Gong glanced at Li Ru meaningfully, and when he saw the other party's eyes flickering, he smiled and continued: "In view of this, we have always attached great importance to the combat strength of our troops far beyond other territories, otherwise, maybe Feng Xiang has been destroyed by others. ”

"In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, strict training is indispensable, but training takes a long time, in addition to training, good and complete equipment can quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops in a short period of time, and increase the chances of survival of the officers and men in the war! My lord has always believed that the life of a Fengxiang boy is far more valuable than the things outside his body, so the funds consumed by the various units of the Fengxiang Army in terms of equipment are far more than those of other lord troops. ”

Li Ru could only nod, the two families had fought, and he had some understanding of the equipment of the Fengxiang Army.

"Heavy infantry battalions are strong in defense and weak in attack, and are usually responsible for frontal combat in battle, but after our research, we believe that if heavy infantry is only used for positional defense, the combat effectiveness of the troops is greatly wasted. However, it is difficult for the heavy infantry battalion to improve their attack power in hand-to-hand combat, in order to make their appearance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends more balanced, we believe that it should be a good choice to equip them with powerful long-range weapons, which can not only allow them to maintain frontal defense in hand-to-hand combat, but also increase the means of long-range enemy annihilation! ”

"As for why each Heavy Infantry Warrior is equipped with a bow and a crossbow separately, it is because the Great Yellow Crossbow, which has a more powerful attack power, cannot be thrown, and in order to produce more intensive and effective long-range attacks in large-scale battles, the deep coordination of the archers and crossbowmen can do this; Of course, there was another reason: it was convenient for them to choose whether to use a bow or a crossbow depending on the situation. The Rhubarb Crossbow is easy to use and easy to use, and our warriors only need to take some time to practice their marksmanship on weekdays. ”

Chen Gong sighed and said with a little regret: "In the first two battles with your army, due to the gathering of General Zilong's flying wing battalion and another full-time crossbow unit in the expeditionary force, we think that the long-range attack power of the expeditionary force is strong enough, so the heavy infantry battalion did not carry a bow and crossbow into battle, so as not to affect its combat power due to the increase in weight, otherwise, Li Junshi should be able to see the complete state of the Fengxiang heavy infantry battalion." ”

Xu was aware that these words might seem a little arrogant, at least, it was quite rude to boast so much in front of his defeated generals, Chen Gong hurriedly expressed his modesty moderately: "Of course, this tactical concept has just begun to be implemented, and we are not too sure. Moreover, due to the limited production of the three-stone rhubarb crossbow, the heavy step battalion can only make do with the two-stone rhubarb crossbow temporarily, and the actual combat effectiveness may not be able to meet our expectations, which is really not worth mentioning. ”

Since the Flying Wing Battalion and the Xiandeng Dead Soldiers accompanied the army, it is indeed a fact that the Shanzi Battalion was not allowed to carry long-range weapons to the battle, and the concept of the Shanzi Battalion's multi-faceted exhibition is also true, and it is not a false accusation of Bogu compensation.

Li Ru rolled his eyes and was completely speechless.

What do you mean by "can only make do with the two-stone rhubarb crossbow temporarily"?

How expensive and sought-after the big yellow crossbow is, the earthlings all know it, and before Feng Xiang announced that he would put the three-stone big yellow crossbow on the market a few days ago, the most advanced long-range weapon circulating on the market was the two-stone big yellow crossbow! Chen Gong also looked very dissatisfied and wronged, Li Ru felt that he was clearly showing off, but Li Ru couldn't say that Chen Gong was bragging, because, after all, Feng Xiang could produce more advanced three-stone rhubarb crossbows.

No matter how expensive the rhubarb crossbow is, it can be used for a long time after it is equipped, but it will cost more at the beginning, and the cost of the special weapons of the Bogu Euphorbia is not less than that of the rhubarb crossbow. What really made Li Ru want to cry without tears was the salary of the heavy camp.

The salary of Fengxiang's heavy step camp is actually four times that of the Bogu Euphorbia!

This is the fundamental reason for Fengxiang's huge military spending!

In the face of Li Ru's angry questioning, as soon as Chen Gong said a word, Li Ru could only hold his head and pretend to be an ostrich: "Fengxiang's salary is very high, everyone in the world knows it, Li Junshi won't have heard of it, right?" In our Fengxiang, as long as you work diligently for the territory, you can enjoy a generous welfare system, and regularly get a very high remuneration, the largest expenditure item in Fengxiang City, is always the salary of the military and civilians in the territory. ”

Everyone knows that Fengxiang has a high salary and good benefits, but Li Ru didn't expect it to be so good!

"Fengxiang's salary level is very high, even if the lowest-income junior farmer, as long as he is a little more frugal, it is not uncommon to wear silk clothes to hang out after work, farmers are still like this, and the salary conditions of other walks of life, naturally I don't need to say more. In fact, because the territory has experienced dozens of large and small wars for a long time, in Fengxiang, becoming a soldier is a very dangerous thing, and no one knows whether he will survive after the next war, and he doesn't know when the next war will break out. Therefore, the soldiers were paid much more than the common people, a little more than the intermediate craftsmen, and there were also generous pensions for the dead. Chen Gong said unhurriedly.

Li Ru nodded in understanding, and sighed: "I see, no wonder the salary level of the soldiers in Fengxiang City is far from ordinary people, the so-called 'there must be brave men under the heavy reward', if there is no such high treatment, who is willing to play with their heads?" It's just that the military budget is so high, the city lord of Ah Niu should have a headache. ”

"Li Junshi is wrong!"

Chen Gong looked at the other party with great solemnity, and a little anger faintly appeared on his face.

Taking a deep breath and calming down his feelings a little, Chen Gongcai said slowly, word by word: "Feng Xiang Nan'er has great enthusiasm for becoming a soldier, every time the army is expanded, the recruitment site is overcrowded, and the number of people who sign up for the army will always be several times more than the number of people we need to recruit. ”

"The preferential treatment of the army is not the main reason for their enthusiasm to sign up, I said that the most ordinary Fengxiang farmers can wear silk, if they want better treatment, they can choose to learn a certain skill, it is much safer. Since any profession can live well, why should they take a huge risk to join the Fengxiang Army, which has a very high death rate? In the early days of our Fengxiang Exhibition, there was a situation where young and strong craftsmen signed up, so that the lord had to take some coercive measures later, what were those craftsmen joining the army for? ”

"It's loyalty! It's responsibility! ”

"In the eyes of Fengxiang people, defending the territory is a very glorious thing! Please don't slander their innocence for their territory! ”

In the previous negotiations, although everyone was-for-tat, Chen Gong had always been very restrained, but the upright Chen Gong was obviously a little unhappy now, his white face was a little more bloody, and there were faint green tendons beating happily on his neck and temples on both sides of his eyes.

Just because of Li Ru's words.

Li Ru was a little overwhelmed, not because of Chen Gong's anger, but because of Chen Gong's pride and pride when he talked about Feng Xiang and Feng Xiangjun when he refuted himself!

From the heart, unswerving, almost religious!

Li Ru faintly understood why Chen Gong was so popular, and for Bo Gu, who was now working, he asked himself if he could do it, but he could understand. With Li Ru's insight and intelligence, you can see at a glance whether what Chen Gong said is insincere, "This Deputy City Lord Chen has a really deep affection for Feng Xiang......"

Since Chen Gong's feelings are from the heart, then his previous description of Fengxiang's enthusiastic enlistment in the army is naturally also true, which can't help but make Li Ru feel a little chilled. People's hearts are available, Fengxiang City is united, no wonder it has survived wind and rain without falling, no wonder it can stand tall in tragic battles again and again, no wonder it can thwart conspiracies and attacks one by one!

Li Ru couldn't help but admire Ah Niu a little, and sincerely admired it.

To let so many civil and military talents serve him willingly, and to get the unreserved trust and support of the people of the territory, as a lord, what regrets are there?

"I'm sorry, I just lost my words." Li Ru said solemnly.

Chen Gong nodded silently.

"After talking so much off-topic, we can get back to the topic. Presumably Li Junshi has now understood, why we are showing you this information, if you still need to know more, I can also disclose the information of the Luoyang Shanzi Battalion to you, but we will not disclose the situation of other participating troops. ”

The other participating troops, whether it is the Flying Wing Battalion, the First Dead Soldier and the Thunder Cavalry, are all Fengxiang's main combat troops, and they are by no means comparable to the Heavy Infantry Battalion, and there is no comparison, Li Ru naturally understands it. However, Chen Gong didn't care about telling the basic information of the Chongbu Battalion calmly, and also explained from the side that the status of the Chongbu Battalion in Fengxiang's battle sequence was not high.

The Rock Legion at the same level as the Heavy Infantry Battalion is the second main force of Bogu!

Li Ru smiled bitterly: "Of course I understand." ”

"Deputy City Lord Chen wants to use this information to tell me that Feng Xiang's compensation proposal is reasonable and well-founded, and it is not a random statement, but I think that there must be moisture in it, and some items are worth careful discussion. For example, the Maple Leaf Army and the Huoyun Army that you are helping to fight can't have the same level of military spending as Feng Xiang, right? Also, even if there is no war, Feng Xiang will still pay his army normal salaries......"

Chen Gong unceremoniously interrupted Li Ru and said, "It doesn't matter what the salary level of the allied army is, what matters is that those soldiers shed blood and died because of our help Feng Xiang, what kind of compensation the Feng Xiang army receives, they should also receive the same compensation, their lives are equally precious." ”

"As for Feng Xiangjun's normal salary...... Hehe, Li Junshi has served under Dong Gong's account for many years, so there is no need to talk to you about the rules on the battlefield, right? As the defeated side, should Bogu have some consciousness of the vanquished? ”

Li Ru's face turned red, avoided this topic, and pointed to the other item in the proposal and said sadly: "The nutrition expenses, lost work expenses, and mental damage expenses during the exile of Deputy City Lord Chen Shuo...... Add up to 800,000 gold? ”

"That's the price after a 20% discount, and initially we were going to claim a million. The lord temporarily canceled the youth loss fee, well, the lord is too kind. Chen Gong pursed his lips.

Li Ru stared straight at Chen Gong, speechless for a long time.

He's got it all right now.

Although Feng Xiang's offer cannot be all lip service, the meaning of extortion is already obvious, and it seems that Feng Xiang does not intend to make too many concessions to this plan. To show yourself the information with confidential value, in fact, I also want to tell Sù Bogu, "Don't talk nonsense, sign obediently." ”

Feng Xiang was reluctant to dwell too much on these issues.

For some reason, Li Ru's strange guess was even more obvious: Feng Xiang was really not afraid of Bo Gu's debts, and he was very aggressive in terms of compensation, and it seemed that he had a motive to provoke Bo Gu to tear up the agreement!

Thinking of this, Li Ru quickly made a decision.

"Deputy City Lord Chen is right, the defeated should have the consciousness of the vanquished, not to mention that the war was originally provoked by us. However, in the previous two wars, Bogu suffered a heavy loss, far above Fengxiang, in order to invite Lu Bu and some princes to help in the war, Bogu also paid a heavy price, and the amount in your proposal is so huge, with all due respect, Bogu does not have enough ability to pay. ”

"You have."

Chen Gong said lightly: "Bogu has been fighting everywhere in Sili, and I don't know how many Inhuman territories he has plundered and conquered, and he has accumulated countless wealth, I don't think that these two wars have made Bogu's long-term savings all come to naught." Of course, the Bogu rebuilding also requires a lot of money, and if you don't have enough money, we can accept another form of compensation, which is a compromise. Even if you don't want to give up a penny, you can easily pay off the compensation with a compromise solution. ”

Li Ru knew that something was wrong, but he had to ask hard.

"Artisans, take your craftsmen in exchange! Or, General Zhang Jaw or Li Junshi switch to Fengxiang! ”
