The so-called "middle ground". It was Feng Xiang who remained neutral in the battle and secretly sent the powerful generals in the territory to Dong Zhuo's camp to help in the battle to deal with the Zhuo figures in the princes' alliance. Of course, the premise is that the identity of the military general cannot be revealed, and the military general only accepts the direct control of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru.

Li Ru was silent for a long time, and seemed to have understood that this was the only way, although he lost the banner of Feng Xiang, at least there would be no situation where Feng Xiang joined the camp of the princes. In fact, from the perspective of Feng Xiang's position, the probability of joining the princes' camp is obviously much greater than joining Dong Zhuo's camp, from this point of view, Li Ru thinks that his trip still played a role, and it is not worth it.

"In this way, I am afraid that the reward conditions of the imperial court also need to be reformulated." Li Ru said hesitantly.

"Of course." Ah Niu agreed in one bite.

"In addition, since Feng Xiang has the heart to contribute to the court and select fierce generals to help in the war, then I hope that I can select the generals who will fight."

"Okay, wait a minute, Ah Niu will let Feng Xiang's martial artist see Mr." Ah Niu is still refreshing.

Li Ru smiled faintly, "No need, I already have a candidate, Ah Niu City Lord only needs to send Li Jin." It's the king-level military general who made the whip. ”

A certain city lord shook his head, and then smiled bitterly, "Mr. is really like a torch, and he actually directly picked Li Jin." This person is a Fengxiang warrior, few people know his cunzài, I don't know how Mr. knows the name of Li Jin? ”

"Hehe, Ah Niu City Lord doesn't need to ask more, he will understand in the future."

Ah Niu's original plan was actually to let Zhou Tai or Gao Shun join Dong Zhuo's camp on behalf of Feng Xiang. Zhou Tai is also a king-level general, and the Canglan Water Division has no combat missions for the time being, and Jiang Qin is in charge of it, so there will be no problem in letting Zhou Tai go out for a walk for the time being; Although Gao Shun's force is a little worse, the trapping camp has been formed for a long time, and even if the main general is not there, it will not affect the normal operation of the trapping camp. Li Ru actually asked Li Jin by name, and clearly indicated what weapon Li Jin used, and his level?

At this time, Ah Niu didn't know that the reason why Li Ru knew about Li Jin was entirely because of Lu Bu. When Li Ru mentioned in front of Dong Zhuo that he wanted to leave Luoyang and go to Qingzhou, Lu Bu didn't think so, but when he learned that the target of the lobby was Fengxiang City, Lu Bu suddenly changed his position and said a fair word, "Li Jin of Fengxiang City has the courage to be unstoppable. It was this sentence that made Dong Zhuo, who originally thought that Li Ru was making a big fuss, nodded.

When Li Ru asked how Lu Bu knew about Li Jin, Wen Hou said, "I fought with him. Although there was no mention of victory or defeat, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru had already seen some problems from Lu Bu Tieqing's face, even if Lu Bu did not lose, at least he did not take advantage.

Dong Zhuo immediately authorized Li Ru, "At any cost, pull Feng Xiang over!" ”

In the case that Feng Xiang is no longer able to join his own camp under the banner of a clear banner. Being able to get the help of Li Jin, the "number one fierce general of Fengxiang", is obviously enough to make Li Ru feel satisfied. In Li Ru's opinion, Li Jin, who can fight with a fierce general like Lu Bu without suffering losses, is definitely Fengxiang's number one thug!

――Before Zilong didn't come back, this conclusion was true, but not now.

"Well, that's what the gentleman says. It's just that Li Jin is out on errands now, and he is not in the territory, so I will let Li Jin report in Luoyang. ”

"That's right...... I wonder when Li Jin will be able to arrive in Luoyang? Li Ru was a little worried again.

"Seven or eight days if it's fast, ten days if it's slow, Li Jin is on time! As for the reward conditions of the imperial court, it was up to Shi Yuan to negotiate with Mr. Aniu, and Ah Niu still had some things to retire for the time being. ”

The big intention has been reached, and the remaining "small problems" are still left to Pang Tong to solve. It's not that a certain city lord is snubbing Li Ru, the next "small problem" involves Feng Xiang's vital interests, and it is very likely that he will bargain with Li Ru or even fight for a blushing face and a thick neck, if Ah Niu comes forward directly, there is no room for redemption if the negotiations collapse, which is also a common trick in negotiations.

Anyway, Pang Tong has already pretended to be blackface once, so why not pretend again?

As soon as a certain city lord left, Pang Tong was already staring at Li Ru murderously, "Damn, if you hadn't come to Fengxiang, why would I have acted in that scene yesterday?" If I hadn't acted in that scene, how could I have been beaten so badly? If I don't scratch your skin today, I won't be a man! ”

Pang Tong, who was extremely sad and indignant, soon launched a tragic "struggle" with Li Ru at the negotiation table.

"Four grades are not enough, at least nine grades...... Is the ninth grade down? Oh, that's the second product. ”

"5o million can rebuild your home, do you think our Fengxiang is a small fishing village?"

"Do you know how many people Feng Xiang died in the battle with the Yellow Turban Army? 1oo ...... What, you don't believe? No matter how many of them, a lot of people died anyway. 5o million is too little! ”

"What are 2o senior talents for? Fengxiang has hundreds of high-level talents, could it be that the world-famous Xiangguo Lord is so sincere? 2o masters are about ......"

"Xiliang Iron Cavalry is good, but what can a two-hundred-strong army do, watch the door? Your Excellency Lang Zhongling, although our Fengxiang is very poor, the cavalry of 2,000 people can still afford it, even if it can't be raised, it's a big deal to sell the war horses, and the cavalry will be turned into infantry......"

"There are too few types of buildings in our territory, so let's give a hundred and eighty architectural drawings of special categories."

"The reason why Feng Xiang can't directly join the army of the imperial court to fight against the princes is because Feng Xiang is not strong enough and has too few troops. If you can give us a population of 10,000 or 20,000, Feng Xiang will be able to form a more powerful army! ”

"Also, we need ............

In short, before Li Ru could speak, Pang Tong had already talked a lot, not only picking all yesterday's conditions, but also putting forward many new requirements, and his attitude was extremely arrogant, Li Ru couldn't wait to strangle this guy to death.

"Don't forget, yesterday's condition, the premise was that Feng Xiang joined our army's camp, and now you just sent a general, why do you put forward higher requirements?" Li Ru was so angry that his face turned white, and he gritted his teeth.

"Really? Oh, I misremembered...... However, as the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to obtain, and a general is hard to find, although we only sent one Li Jin, but Your Excellency doesn't seem to know how powerful Li Jin is. To tell you the truth, Li Jin is nine feet tall and his waist circumference is also nine feet...... Standing on Mount Tai and roaring, there will be a tsunami in the East China Sea, and there will be a landslide in Jiuli Mountain...... What's even more powerful is that his head can be turned 36o degrees to play, and it is impossible to sneak up on him...... And yes. Li Jin's beard is thicker than yours, and his roots are extremely strong...... For such a world-famous figure, the appearance fee is not too high! ”

Pang Tong's expression fully proves that it is also very terrifying for scholars to soar......

Li Ru was so angry that he wanted to leave the table several times, but Pang Tong obviously wouldn't let this fat sheep leave, rolled up his sleeves and grabbed Li Ru, "What's the matter, is it so uncomfortable to talk to me, do you dislike my looks?" It's too much, you can insult my intelligence, but you must not insult my looks! ”

If Li Ru wants to leave, he will not hesitate to use force, and at the same time, Pang Tong's attitude will also be very "suitable" to soften one or two points, so that Li Ru feels that his "respect" has improved. Otherwise, the negotiations would have broken down long ago.

Negotiation is the art of "mutual compromise".

"Ah Niu is so polite, but his advisers are rude, no different from a market hooligan, do you still use me to insult this person's appearance......" Li Ru wanted to die, he thought that Pang Tong was usually this virtuous, how did he know that Pang Tong deliberately pretended to be "vulgar".

Pang Tong knew in his heart that as long as the conditions he proposed were normal people, they would never be able to accept them, and the reason why he did this was actually based on the principle of "asking for a price and paying back the money on the spot". If the conditions are high, the benefits may be more in the end.

After two hours of arduous and extremely arduous "fierce fighting," the two sides made great steps forward in line with the principle of "mutual understanding and seeking common ground while reserving differences," and finally reached an agreement.

1, a certain city lord gave up the opportunity to be promoted to the rank of knight.

At the time when Feng Xiang said to remain neutral. Suddenly, he was promoted by Dong Zhuo, and he made it clear that he told others that "we have an adulterous affair", and there were no three hundred taels of silver here. Therefore, Pang Tong gave in very knowingly, in fact, a certain city lord was not interested in Dong Zhuofeng's official at all, Dong Feifei couldn't jump for a few days, and his official title was not serious.

2. Fengxiang City was exempted from paying taxes for three years, and received 500,000 yuan each from Dong Zhuo's "Reconstruction Fund" and "Resettlement Fund for Martyrs' Widows". These conditions are consistent with yesterday.

With Feng Xiang's current situation, the one million funds were not taken into account by a certain city lord at all, but Dong Zhuo was so rich that he didn't take it for nothing. What Ah Niu really values is the exemption from paying taxes for three years!

From the beginning of the game to the present, because of Gong Zheng's relationship, Feng Xiang has actually not paid a penny of taxes, but with the advance of the historical process, Gong Jing's "class" has entered the countdown, and Ah Niu has to consider the issue of "paying taxes". It's not that Ah Niu understands that "it is taken from the people." The policy of "for the people", but the harsh taxes of the Three Kingdoms era are too scary, although the tax rates of each state and county are different, but "2 taxes and 1" are popular, even if the tax rates of some states and counties are a little lower, most of them are above "3 taxes and 1"!

If you can't win the right to "tax exemption for three years", Feng Xiang will lose a lot of money, which is also the fundamental reason why many lord players are not financially strong enough!

3. Fengxiang won 50 senior talents.

Originally, Pang Tong hoped to "get at least one master-level talent", but Li Ru didn't follow it, forcing Li Ru to blurt out: "Do you think master-level talents are so easy to find?" If you have the ability, you can call a few out and show me! Pang Tong had no choice but to "give in".

4. Since Feng Xiang would not directly participate in the war, the two hundred Xiliang Iron Riders naturally had to give up.

In the eyes of a certain city lord, although the 2oo Xiliang Iron Cavalry is strong, it cannot be replenished after the battle, and at most it can only be used for display, which has little practical significance. What's more, now that Feng Xiang has formed two cavalry units with different styles, why do you need those two hundred iron cavalry?

Of course, Feng Xiang's "empathy" is also based on Li Ru's "knowledge and interest", and Feng Xiang has received other compensation.

-- Feng Xiang received an extra million in "economic aid", but the two million funds were later given to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty by a certain city lord, so that Huoyun City would not suffer losses in the battle because of lack of money to recruit troops.

-- Li Ru promised to give Feng Xiang two special architectural drawings and two copies of the "Intermediate Building Upgrade Drawings". This is what a certain city lord wants to get the most, and it is also the only thing that Ah Niu can see among all the rewards!

After sending Li Ru away, Pang Tong triumphantly took the agreement to ask a certain city lord for credit, and Ah Niu didn't even raise his eyelids, "Have you got the construction drawings of the special territory and the upgrading of the skills of senior craftsmen?" ”

"I asked for it, but he couldn't take it out, saying that he didn't, and he hadn't even heard of such a thing......" Pang Tongyi's face was aggrieved.

"What about the increase in the number of dependent territories, and they can't do it?"

"Yes."

Ah Niu was silent for a while, in fact, this guy has long understood that general architectural drawings are okay, but similar to "special territory construction drawings" and "advanced craftsman skill upgrade drawings" and other anti-heaven level items, NPC forces may not be able to get them, most of them can only be obtained by doing tasks through guò.

If any NPC force could have these things. The rise of the lord player is too easy. In fact, Gong Jing, the assassin of Qingzhou, is also a prince, and his relationship with Feng Xiang is also very good, although Ah Niu has received a lot of help from the state capital, but it is limited to funds, talents, and a novice village quota.

Pang Tong saw that a certain city lord didn't speak for a long time, and asked in a deep voice: "Have you talked to Cao Mengde?" ”

"Well, after talking, Zilong will go to Chenliu."

Pang Tong's eyes lit up, and Pang Tong, who knew that a certain city lord's overall plan, understood that this also meant that Ah Niu's plan had a good start. The plan of stealing behind the scenes and fishing for oil and water on both sides has achieved initial results!

"What's in it for you?"
