Chapter 905: Negotiation
It should be said that at this time, under such circumstances, Liu Qingshan invited the Gothic delegation into his Chinese army tent, and then negotiated with them, psychologically, he had occupied a commanding height.
In time, according to Liu Qingshan's understanding, the so-called negotiation is just a formality. The key to the problem is to rely on strength to solve it. For example, fighting, as the most direct form of military struggle, is actually the most fundamental and effective way to solve problems. Under normal circumstances, any problem that cannot be resolved through negotiation can only be resolved by military struggle. Speaking of which, this is also a very strange phenomenon. In the course of a military struggle, if one of the two sides clearly occupies a disadvantage, then the side that occupies a clear disadvantage will certainly demand negotiations.
However, in this case, the so-called negotiation is just a way to compromise with the other party. Of course, there are also times when the two sides are evenly matched, and given some complex factors, it is also very likely that both sides are tired of war, or they can no longer afford it. In this case, either party may request a negotiation with the other party. In this case, in fact, both sides are ready to make a certain compromise. Therefore, such negotiations often have a certain practical significance.
-----------------------
As for Liu Qingshan, he had already expected that the delegation sent by the Gothic tribe was actually a compromise to himself. However, according to Liu Qingshan's understanding, this compromise of the other party must have a certain strategy of "retreating as advancing". To put it bluntly, this way of losing guò, and then exchanging some concessions from themselves, this is their wishful thinking.
At this time, Liu Qingshan glanced at the representatives of the Gothic tribe, his face was full of bright smiles, and he looked confident. On the other hand, the representatives of the missions of the Gothic tribes, at this time, were trembling and always chaotic. After seeing this, Liu Qingshan smiled slightly: "I am very grateful for the gift you gave me. However, I am a cheerful person, and the ancients have no merit, and since I have accepted your gifts, then, if there is anything to say, you can just say it. "
After hearing this, one of the representatives of the mission stood up, arched his hand towards Liu Qingshan, and then said loudly: "Dear Mr. Iron Armor God of War, it is a great honor to be able to meet the legendary Iron God of War in your Chinese army tent. It's a real pleasure for us. At the same time, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Ironclad God of War for taking time out of his busy schedule to meet us. Now, wherever your armies pass, they are invincible. However, I hope that your troops will not harass our Gothic tribe, and that is what we all ask. "
It should be said that this representative of the mission is still very strategic. Although, the main purpose of their trip is to take the initiative to compromise with each other. Moreover, their bottom line is to protect their Goth tribe from the danger of extinction. That's enough. However, as a representative of the mission, he knew that if he directly took his last hole card, then he would quickly fall into a passive position. Therefore, until the last resort, his last hole card, he will not take it out lightly.
However, on this basis, the demands made go further, even to the point where it is difficult for the other party to accept. On this basis, bargaining is carried out, so that they can often achieve their own goals. is undoubtedly a negotiation skill.
After hearing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but smile coldly, for the other party's cunning appearance, in fact, Liu Qingshan had already seen through it at a glance. Again, negotiation is actually just a formality, and in the end it is still based on strength. Or to put it another way, capital is needed for negotiations. There is no capital to negotiate, and to give no point at all. It's as if a weak country has no diplomacy at all.
----------------------
The reason why this is so is because as a weak country, it is assessed as poor and weak, and there is no power, and in this case, it loses the qualification to bargain with the strong country. In many cases, in many cases, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, then, there is no possibility of bargaining at all. This is capital, this is strength.
It's because I'm stronger, it's because I'm strong, and you're very weak, so I'm afraid that if I move my fingers, I can kill you. In this case, what is the need to negotiate with one? In such a situation, what qualifications do you have, what capital do you have to bargain with me? In fact, it is such a very simple truth. It was precisely because of this that after Liu Qingshan made such a remark on the representative of the mission stationed on the other side, he naturally sneered. Liu Qingshan secretly said in his heart, what a group of poor people!
So, after thinking of this, Liu Qingshan smiled coldly, and then said: "But, my esteemed envoy, to be honest, I am very sympathetic to the current situation of your Gothic tribe. Your alliance, the Iliad, has been wiped out by us. So, you are now in a situation where you are alone. If I am not mistaken, you will not come to me unless so. Am I right? "
After hearing this, the envoys of the Gothic tribe all looked at each other. I didn't speak for half a day.
Immediately, Liu Qingshan continued: "I can tell you the truth, you have come to me as Gothic envoys of the Gothic tribe, and I welcome you very much. However, I hope that you are not here to negotiate, because you are now qualified to negotiate. There is no capital left for negotiations. So, at this time, if you are willing to negotiate surrender with me, I can still consider it. "
After hearing this, the envoys of the Gothic tribes were still silent. However, it was not long before one of the representatives finally said, "Having said that, I still don't quite understand what Mr. Iron Armor God of War said just now. However, if you want us to surrender to you, we don't mind saying that. However, we have one condition, and we hope that Mr. Ironclad will agree. "
After hearing this, Liu Qingshan smiled slightly, and then said: "If you have any conditions, just say them all." As long as I think it's reasonable, I think, I'll still say yes. "
After hearing this, the representative of the Gothic tribe continued: "Our Gothic tribe has a long history, and from ancient times to the present, we have always advocated arming. As for our cavalry combat units, I am sure you will have heard of them. So, in order to live up to the expectations of our ancestors, I ask that after we surrender to you, we be able to preserve the right to train our cavalry. At the same time, we should be allowed to master a certain number of combat units. Especially cavalry combat units. I hope Mr. Ironclad will agree to my request. If you agree, then we, the Goths, will officially surrender to you. "
After hearing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but smile coldly. Then he naturally said, "What if we don't agree to the condition you just proposed?" "
At this time, I saw that the representative of the Gothic tribe was still smiling, and then pointed and said: "You know, on the side of our Gothic tribe, there are at least three medium-sized cavalry training camps now. In each of these cavalry training camps, at least a spine heavy cavalry combat unit was stationed there. However, if you deceive people too much, then, if we of the Goth tribe concentrate all the troops of the three cavalry training camps, I believe that although you are very powerful, you may not necessarily be our opponent. At that point, if the two sides really fight each other and tear their skins, I think, it won't be very good. This is also a scenario that neither of us wants to see. "
At this time, before he heard the machete Liu Qingshan speak, a tall figure walked straight in from outside the big tent of the Chinese army, and at the same time kept saying: "The commander-in-chief is really, such an important matter, he didn't let me participate, this is really distrust of my General Baras." That's too scary, isn't it? "
Immediately, everyone present raised their heads, and looked at the general who had annihilated the whole country, still wearing the price, and strode in. Then, he rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army and said to Liu Qingshan: "I said commander-in-chief, this is too uninteresting. I have made great achievements in the southern and northern wars, but why did such an important meeting not call me over alone? "
------------------------
After hearing Barras's words, almost everyone burst into laughter. General Barras then shrieked, and then drove out of the delegate to the one who had just spoken, and said, "I heard you speak before I was even intense. But what you just said, how do I think it seems too arrogant? What is it that gives us a decisive battle again, and that the cloth envisages a fish to the death against us?
"However, I can tell you unequivocally that this is impossible. How many such resources do you have now, do you still think that now, how many combat troops do you still have that you can use to fight us? "
At this time, after listening to General Barras's words, the head of the Gothic tribe continued: "I mean, although, we admit that our Gothic tribe is now far inferior to yours in terms of comprehensive combat capability. However, our cavalry is very powerful. Therefore, I advise you that it is better not to make ours too ugly, otherwise, if we really grow up, I am sure, you will not want to see that. At the very least, it would result in significant attrition. And for Mr. Ironclad War, who has great talent, I think, it appears in this way. "
At this time, General Barras, at the beginning, was only quietly listening to the representatives of the opposing mission and defending them. However, as time went on, General Barras could no longer sit still, and he stood up, raised his eyebrows, and said to the Gothic tribe, a representative of the mission, "Bold, do you really mean to say?"
"However, it seems that for you, it is really not to see the coffin and not to cry, and not to die until the Yellow River, below, I can tell you the truth, now, the three cavalry training camps that you are proud of, and the nearly 1,000 cavalry heavy combat units stationed inside, have all been wiped out with us. I know, in fact, for your Goth tribe, although your combat strength is relatively good, it can even be said that when the weather is cold, it is not a problem, but I can tell you the truth, the three cavalry training camps that you are proud of have indeed been wiped out by us. This means that you Goths have no chance of defeating us at all. Therefore, I hope that the time has come for you to submit to us. "
---------------------
After hearing this, the envoys of the Gothic tribe couldn't help but look at each other. In their opinion, this simply seems impossible. When they came again, the three cavalry training camps were fine, but after less than a day, how could they be destroyed by the other party? Isn't it alarmist?
Immediately, the leader of the delegation arched his hand to Liu Qingshan, and then said: "Dear Mr. Iron Armor God of War, please allow us to discuss it first, and after a while, we will inform you of the results of the discussion." ”
After hearing this, Liu Qingshan knew that they had no news about what General Barras had said about "the three cavalry training centers that had already occupied them". So they might want to go back and verify that it's true or not.
So, after seeing this, Liu Qingshan smiled slightly and said to them: "Please, but I don't want us to wait here for too long." I hope you can negotiate the results as much as possible, otherwise we will have to take action. ”
So, the members of the delegation of the Gothic tribe walked out of Liu Qingshan's Chinese army tent one after another, and immediately, they sent a fast horse, which was fast and whipped up, and galloped away in the direction of their Gothic tribe headquarters. It's very shallow, they just figured out this way, and came to the report to confirm whether the other party's murderous-looking general just now was true. You know, that's very critical for them, very important. Because it's directly related to the process of their negotiations, and what their final hole cards and worst bottom line really are.
The fast horse, galloping all the way, soon returned from their Gothic tribe headquarters, and when the representatives of these Gothic tribes' missions finally obtained the news from Tanma that the three cavalry training camps had really been occupied by the other side, they almost fainted on the spot. Yes, now they know very well that in this case, they have really lost the bargaining qualifications and capital with the other party. Obviously, the other party just wants to threaten himself in this way, assist himself, and make himself obedient.
-----------------------
Subsequently, they discussed it again, and then they once again rushed in and came to Liu Qingshan's Chinese army tent. Seeing that they had finally sent it again, Liu Qingshan smiled slightly, and then asked, "How is it, how are you doing now?" I mean, you should surrender unconditionally, and if that happens, I might make some concessions, leaving the past alone. Otherwise, according to the requirements of my soldiers, you, the Gothic tribe, will be uprooted, cut down and eradicated, and the country will be wiped out, and from then on, it will completely disappear from this Getrasian continent. ”
After hearing this, one of them was a skilled member of the regiment and hurriedly said: "Dear Mr. Iron Armor God of War, this is absolutely unacceptable, but it is absolutely unacceptable!" Our Gothic tribe, with a long history, has lived in this part of Thrace from the south for thousands of years. Therefore, I beg the Iron God of War to open up and forgive us for our mistakes, I think that as long as we can be given a chance to survive, all of us in the entire Gothic tribe will be grateful to Mr. Iron God of War and will never be forgotten. ”
After hearing this, Liu Qingshan smiled coldly, and then continued: "Hmph! Do you know how to intercede before me now? However, don't forget that when we were fighting with the Iliad, you attacked our logistics and supply center! Moreover, you also sent out your main heavy cavalry, and they were so ruthless that they wanted to put me to death!
"Imagine what kind of blow it was under that situation at that time! Suffice it to say, if we don't get it right, then our logistics supply center will really be occupied by you. And if that's the case, it's really a big problem! At that time, I am afraid that you will never send a mission to me. Well, I'm not telling a lie at all? At this time, Liu Qingshan's eyes were like torches, staring at the head of the mission and saying.
