Chapter 36: Clever Negotiations

Third, shock and deterrence, soft and rigid.

When the time comes, bring Bao, Sima and the nine surviving monks from Xiangjiazhai who have experienced the tragedy of this battle, and let them go to Yangjiazhai with the team escorting resources. Before I taught them how to speak, so that they really thought they were acting well, I let them and their families go. Through the mouths of the nine of them, they proclaimed the strength of Canterlot, concealed the use of Canterlot, and described it as a hard-to-hard frontal battle, which ended in the destruction of all three families and the complete victory of Canterlot. Let Yang Mu not dare to act rashly even if he has an idea. ”

The words of the army were clearly organized and detailed, and the outline of all possible progress of the story in the future was finalized.

Legion is like the new opinion leader in Canterlot, the de facto head of the family. No one refutes his opinion or drags it out and doesn't implement it. After the battle of life and death in Canterlot, they had a natural awe of the old legions, and the status of the legions became different in their hearts, and the image of the legions became taller, more mysterious, and far away from them.

The clan elders still felt like this, not to mention the monks and clansmen below the central city management, and the army had been faintly mentioned to the original position of the heavenly fire.

Their fear of Yang Jiazhai and Yang Mu was suppressed by the blind worship of the Liejun, and the pride of Canterlot that had been lost for nearly twenty days reared its head, or this pride was only temporarily arranged in the corner of their hearts, and their pride never left.

All did what the army had commanded them to do in a planned way.

The clansmen cleaned up the battlefield and brought the resources brought by Bao, Sima and Xiang into the city, and sent one of the four directly to the residence of the elder of the great clan, the elder of the great clan had already shown signs of a breakthrough before, and it would take some time for the central city to re-prepare the resources, and the elder of the great clan could not afford to wait.

The clansmen performed their duties, and ten days later, they arranged for the envoys to go to Yangjiazhai on time and staged a well-arranged drama.

In these ten days, the people who want to kill, the people who want to set fires, and the things that need to be done outside have been done. The Legions did not receive any unwanted reports. In the hearts of the clerks, their behavior was kept secret from Yangjiazhai, and the fires burned for nearly ten days before they were gradually extinguished.

Most of the villages around the central city were on fire, which naturally alarmed the people of Yangjiazhai, but Yangjiazhai was still focused on cultivating within the clan under the leadership of Yang Mu.

Yang Mu was amazed that the circle fire in this cave city came too neatly, and the burning time was too long. He knew that there must have been a turbulent change in Dongwu City, and the source of all this was definitely related to the great battle twenty days ago, when Yang Mu sent people out to inquire about the news, the fire had gradually decreased, and the villages had turned into a scorched earth, and even the shadows of the clansmen in the villages had not been seen. When I asked the merchants and small clans attached to the villages, I only said that the villages were collectively fired, and I couldn't ask anything else.

With Yang Mu's acumen, of course, he is not unaware of the small actions secretly arranged by the central city, but Yang Jiazhai is not strong enough to take care of everything, to be a moral supremacy savior, and to be strong when he is beyond his strength, he will bring the newly improved Yang Jiazhai into the endless abyss.

Because the army had all the resources alone, they cultivated desperately, and finally broke through to the first level of Yunling on the tenth day.

Lie Jun thought that according to such a resource allocation and cultivation, he would be able to break through to the Yunling Triple in half a year, and when Yangjiazhai could obtain resources from the ground of other villages, he would have absolute confidence in breaking through to the Yunling Triple Layer, and the pain of the war in the Central City would be almost recovered, so he would find a way to lure Yang Mu out and lead him to the Central City, and it would be easy to kill Yang Mu.

After the army broke through, it took another hour to stabilize the realm, and then calmly arranged to act according to the original plan, gathered the arranged personnel, and marched towards Yangjiazhai half an hour later.

Due to the full preparation and the certainty of absolute peace talks, the army personally led the team to set off, and when they came to the Yang family's village protection formation one stone's throw away, it was already noon.

The monks of the Yang family patrolling the village noticed the abnormality outside, and recognized that the leader in front was the army that claimed to be the elder of the great clan in Central City last time, so he hurriedly reported it to the clan elder.

Since the relationship between Yangjiazhai and the central city is related to the future direction of Dongwu City, the matter is very important. The clan elder did not dare to be arbitrary, so he ordered the messenger to go back first, and let the envoy of the central city wait outside the village for a while, and not to say nothing when contacting, and everything was decided after he reported to the patriarch.

Today is the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, and it happens to be the full moon of Yang Ren, the son of the Yang family, and Yang Mu celebrates with a full moon wine for him. The banquet is complete, the banquet is not extravagant and wasteful, he just adds two flavors of appetizers to the daily dishes in the big canteen, and shares the spiritual brew that he is usually reluctant to take out with the big guys.

Yang Mu just toasted the first glass of wine at this time. The clan elder left the table and walked in front of Yang Mu and whispered the details told by the messenger.

Yang Mu pondered slightly, the inexplicable fire of this other village is extinguished, and the central city is so coincidental to send a large number of resources, there must be a plan, I must have a plan in my heart first, and go to meet them.

After thinking about it, Yang Mu put down his wine glass and motioned for everyone to stop first, explaining to everyone what had happened. The trip to Canterlot doesn't look like it's here to make a feud, but the village can't relax its guard and continue to strengthen patrols. Yang Mu instructed the stewards present to pass the order, the banquet was stopped first, and the clansmen entered a state of high alert, waiting for the matter here to be resolved.

Yang Mu and the clan elders hurried to the wall, and the two sides greeted each other amicably.

The old army of the big clan took three steps forward, this time his posture was very low, and he called Yang City Lord to Yang Mukou, indicating that the Central City was willing to respect Yang City Lord, and Yang Zhai was renamed Yang City, as the main city of Dongwu City, and the Central City was used as the secondary city of Dongwu City. Asking the Lord of Yang City not to care about the unhappiness with the Central City in the past, the Central City specially refunded the tax equivalent to Yang Cheng's original three years to show the sincerity of the Central City this time.

The army also promised that in Dongwu City, except for the original territory of the central city, the territory of the other villages would be disposed of by the Yang city lord at will, and the central city would remain neutral and would never interfere, and would not do anything disrespectful to the Yang family in the future.

The army gushed out what had been prepared long ago, and received a good response from Yang Mu as expected.

At the beginning, Lietianhuo levied taxes in Dongwu City, and set the same amount for Bazhai, which was basically equivalent to one-eighth of the normal annual harvest of each village. The territory and population of Bazhai are about the same, and the eight taxes are definitely heavy taxes, and they are also a major factor that makes it difficult to break through the cultivation of each village.

The reason why the army was able to generously refund the taxes equivalent to the Yang family's three years was because these were only equivalent to three-eighths of the Yang family's annual harvest, and the Yang family seemed to have benefited greatly, but in fact it did not play a decisive role.

Canterlot doesn't trade at a loss.

What's more, the army sent people to loot the homes of the five families, including the Companion Village, the Bao family, the Sima family, the Xiang family, and the Hu family. It's like robbing people's jujube trees all over the mountains, and you only need to take out half a basket of jujubes, so why not do it!

In the end, with the successful foreshadowing of the first two steps, the army successfully implemented the third step plan.

The nine monks who had the hope of surviving their lives came out at this moment and described in vivid pictures how their respective village owners formed an alliance for the sake of interests, led people to attack other villages, and killed people and set fires.

Then, he focused on the story of the three masters of the three clans who were not satisfied with the existing harvest and led all the monks of the three clans to attack the central city.

The central city was forced to open the city protection formation, although the three village owners forcibly broke through the formation and killed it, but the three of them were surrounded and killed at the gate of the city by the elders of the central city clan, and the army of monks combined by the three villages was wiped out by the army of the central city in less than an hour.

The central city wants to dedicate all the villages to the Yang city lord, and they can't bear to kill the clansmen in our three villages, so they will leave a few of them alive to send a message back and allow them to migrate to a good place outside the city of Dongwu to live.

In order to break off their thoughts in Dongwu City, their respective clans had no choice but to set fire to the village, which was a bit reckless.
