Chapter 186: Negotiation
Chu Zheng waited here for another hour, and finally couldn't sit still. So far, Bai Zhi and the others have not heard any news, and in just one hour, four groups of Great Zhou monks of more than 1,000 people have joined the battle. Up to now, nearly 8,000 Great Zhou monks have gathered in the valley.
Flying eastward, Chu Zheng exerted his speed to the extreme, looking around along the way. Then it cruises from the east to the south, then to the west, and finally to the Tianshui tribe. Along the way, all Chu Zheng saw were Great Zhou monks rushing to the valley, and there were tens of thousands of them.
Smoothing out the other party's thinking in his mind, Chu Zheng also grasped the context of the other party, the other party is definitely going to finish the battle this time, the other party's goal is not a few thousand, but to eat tens of thousands of people. But it was precisely because the other party wanted to eat so many people, and the entrance and exit of that valley were only less than two hundred zhang, and tens of thousands of people couldn't fit it at all, so Chu Zheng's intentions for the other party were even more elusive.
This rapid flight spanned thousands of miles and took three hours, and Chu Zheng landed at the Tianshui tribe station.
As the largest tribe in the southeast region of the Xiyue group, the Tianshui tribe is divided into six parts. The largest station is located in the center, with a number of smaller stations scattered around it.
At this moment, the central garrison had already been occupied by Chu Zheng's command, and the four major teams under his command gathered here with nearly 2,000 people.
Wang Xiuyan, as the former general of the Xilancang Pass in the Xiyue tribe, was particularly good at defense, and under his organization, the Tianshui tribe was patrolled back and forth by monks under the command of Chu Zheng, and there were 1,000 monks in the garrison waiting for a sudden battle that might come.
Before Chu Zheng came to the sky above the station, a hundred people had already risen into the air. After seeing that it was Chu Zheng, they saluted one after another and let Chu Zheng to the tribal station. Immediately afterwards, Wang Xiuyan, Duan Yi and others walked out of the central royal tent to greet Chu Zheng.
A few people said a few polite words, but Chu Zheng didn't have the heart to greet him, and asked directly: "Is there already an eyebrow for inquiring about the classics?"
Wang Xiuyan bowed down and said, "We have inquired about more than 5,000 classics of the Tianshui tribe, but there is not the slightest clue. Now they are looking up a second time. I've already sent someone to report to the capital. ”
"I went around in a big circle. Chu Zheng waved his hand, frowned and said, "The bad news is that this time the Xiyue group has a huge appetite, and in my observation, the Xiyue group has attracted at least more than 50,000 Great Zhou monks to gather in that valley. The bad news is that at their speed, I expect some conspiracy from the Western Vietnamese group to be launched in about a day. ”
"The most important thing now is not to know what conspiracy they have. Wang Xiuyan frowned. As the commander of the battlefield, what he is most worried about is this situation where he cannot guess the enemy's mind, and he has no way to take measures if he wants to.
"I don't know if we can smash the mountain walls on both sides of the valley?" Wang Xiuyan thought for a while and said, "Since the other party is likely to rely on the valley to set a trap, then we can destroy the valley." ”
"It's useless. Chu Zheng shook his head, "Now that valley has been cut down ten zhang, and the ground is full of traces left by the attack, some of which are as deep as ten zhang. There is no point in destroying it. ”
All indications were that the Xiyue tribe was going to inflict heavy damage on the Great Zhou monks in the valley, but everything was normal in that valley so far, and Chu Zheng couldn't help but wonder if they were going to take advantage of the terrain of the valley to inflict heavy damage on the Great Zhou monks. For example, it is theoretically possible to mobilize 5,000 siege crossbows and use the Breaking Arrows to carry out endless covering attacks.
For example, 5,000 Thunder Car flintstones for a covering attack.
Of course, these things only exist theoretically, in fact, there are no such devices around the valley, and each of these tools is so large that it is impossible to put them in the vicinity without knowing it.
It's really clueless and I don't know where to start.
At this moment, Bai Zhi opened the curtain of the big tent and walked in excitedly, the flush on her face was like the excitement after an orgasm.
Ying Ying bowed, and Bai Zhi said: "Qiyu Dutong, I found an old man from the Tianshui tribe, maybe he knows some of the legends of that valley." ”
Chu Zheng's spirit was shocked, and the others stood up and shouted excitedly: "Really, is there really a mysterious place in that valley?"
Chu Zheng nodded approvingly, "Hurry up, please!"
"Yes!"
Duan Yi immediately walked out of the big tent.
Chu Zheng looked at Bai Zhi and asked, "Tell me what's going on?"
Bai Zhi said with a smile: "I don't see any relevant information in the classics of the Tianshui tribe. Later, the slave maid must have been very anxious when she thought about it. Then the slave racked her brains to search for her own memories. It suddenly occurred to me that the current leader of the Tianshui tribe was actually not the first successor in the bloodline. It was the grandfather of the current leader who murdered his own brother more than two hundred years ago and got the position of chief. But the slave maid has news that the son of the original successor of the Tianshui tribe, who is now the uncle of the leader of the Tianshui tribe, lives near here. So I flew out seventy or eighty miles, and found the old man at the foot of a barren mountain. The old man said he knew something. Bai Zhi lifted her eyelids and glanced at Chu Zheng, seeing that he was looking at herself with blazing eyes, and lowered her eyelids shyly, "But the old man doesn't trust me, and he hopes to see Du Tong before he can say it." ”
"It seems that there is a lot of price to be paid to get words out of the other person's mouth. Chu Zheng sat behind the bookcase. Since the other party is likely to have a request for itself, it will take more initiative to negotiate by putting on a posture by yourself.
A moment later, Duan Yi walked into the big tent with an old man.
The old man's face was purple, and his forehead was tattooed like a ravine, like a herdsman who had been exposed to the wind and sun all day long, and his clothes were even more brown leather armor, and he had a dry tobacco pouch pinned to his waist. No matter how you look at it, he is an ordinary old man, but Chu Zheng keenly feels a faint threat.
"Dutong, Tianshui tribe Tianshui Hong brought. Duan Yi bowed, then took two steps and stood behind Chu Zheng.
Tianshuihong carefully looked at Chu Zheng, who was smiling indifferently, and said with a smile: "In the past few days, it has been rumored that there has been a supreme genius Chu Zheng in the Great Zhou, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today. Just call me Tianshui Hong, call me Hong old man, everyone else calls me that. ”
Chu Zheng said lightly: "Chu's reputation has only spread in the Xiyue group in the last two or three days, and the seniors can know it, and it seems that the seniors are also people who are not willing to be lonely." Seniors, please be seated. ”
Tianshuihong's expression perked up, he glanced at Chu Zheng in surprise, nodded with a smile and sat on the chair, "Sure enough, it is worthy of its reputation." The old man was caught by a loophole if he was not careful, and he was really a character who could turn Bai Banyuan around. ”
Chu Zheng shook his head indifferently, "These false polite seniors are still exempt, everyone is busy, and the seniors have any requirements." ”
"It seems that Chu Dutong is in a hurry. Tianshui Hong sipped the tea slowly.
Chu Zheng pursed his lips mockingly, "If the seniors want to make any excessive demands through this, I'm afraid they will be disappointed." I'm in a hurry, but I don't like to be manipulated by others. Now you are happy to say, we can trade if we can. I can understand that you don't want to get the most out of the deal, but I won't trade with you. The seniors think for themselves. Give you a quarter of an hour. ”
Tianshui Hong was slightly stunned. Isn't Chu Zheng a far-sighted person with a deep heart who understands him, no matter how he looks at it now, he is a person who can't hold his breath.
Wang Xiuyan Bai Zhi and the others were also a little surprised when they stood aside, they felt that Dutong was not such a person before, but Bai Zhi reacted the fastest, looking at Tianshuihong with a smile, she thought that this was Chu Zheng deliberately suppressing the other party.
But the people present, including Duan Yi, Chu Guanlan, Chu Tianqing and others, all frowned bitterly. They have a lot of contact with Li Xingzhou, and Li Xingzhou is a teenager without any scheming, and he wants to integrate into this big collective as soon as possible, so he didn't hide many things. Chu Zheng and his grandson naturally told them about it. These people know that Chu Zheng is telling the truth, and the old man grinds and chirps again, and after a quarter of an hour, Chu Zheng really doesn't bother to listen to it. But I don't think many people will believe it. After all, Chu Zheng was in a hurry about the affairs of the valley, and everyone saw it, and those who didn't know really thought that Chu Zheng would rebel again.
Tianshui Hong looked at Chu Zheng with a smile, as if watching a junior perform on stage. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, his expression suddenly froze. He saw the calmness in Chu Zheng's eyes.
Tianshuihong was a little stunned inexplicably, he felt that what Chu Zheng said was most likely not a joke. Isn't it true that young people are like this, and I can't stand it.
After hesitating for a long time, Tianshuihong suddenly found himself forced into a corner by Chu Zheng. Both sides are bogey, but it is obvious that Chu Zheng is a young man, and it is natural that he can be impulsive.
With a wry smile, Tian Shuihong said: "I know that Da Zhou has issued a hundred jade plates, and only the holder of the jade plate can occupy the tribe. I also know that Chu Dutong has a jade plate. I also know that no matter how hard the Western Yue tribe and the Northwest Wilderness are. As long as there are no major mistakes, Da Zhou still has the overall upper hand, after all, the overall strength is still Da Zhou's advantage. Therefore, I want to ask Chu Dutong to leave me a tribe if his combat strength is not lagging behind, so that I can survive in the Tianshui lineage. Of course, we will provide the full amount of taxes to the metropolitan system, and we are nominally dependent on the metropolitan system. But hopefully I'll be able to manage my own tribe by myself. ”
"Impossible!" Chu Zheng decisively interrupted the other party, "Within the territory under my control, everyone must survive according to the rules I specified. If the seniors want to rely on a piece of information to get this, then we don't have anything to talk about. ”
"Don't you think it's unreasonable to negotiate without giving in the slightest? Moreover, although it is only a message, it can reverse the advantages and disadvantages of the Great Zhou and the Western Yue tribes. ”
"Even if the Great Zhou rout is defeated this time, it doesn't have much impact on me. As long as the Great Zhou breaks through the Xilancang Pass, even if it suffers countless defeats, the Western Yue tribes will disappear from this land within a hundred years. And now that I occupy the Lanbian tribe, this place cannot be lost again. At that time, my station will be on the front line, and it will be even more beneficial for me. ”
