Chapter 81: One Mountain, Two Tigers
readx;
……
On the carriage to the arsenal, Xue Wei frowned and asked Buchen: "No, those places ruled by civil officials are easy to take, but what about the Weiyuan Qu family?" One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, since we regard the four towns of Wushan as the foundation of development and growth, how should the Qu family, who holds the two keys and holds strong soldiers, deal with it? ”
It is somewhat understandable that Xue Xue can understand that the situation in the empire is so bad at the moment, and their territory is still so small, how can they do it without expanding quickly? It's just that Buchen avoided talking about the problems of the Qu family, which made her a little worried. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Hearing Xue ask about this, Buchen's brows also furrowed: "When we first entered Wushan Pass, we promised the Qu family that we would never touch a single hair of their territory and not interfere with each other. Moreover, we and the Qu family are both the stronger of the human forces, and at the moment the world is in chaos, if we kill each other with our compatriots before the orcs have been expelled, I am afraid it will hurt the reputation of our forces! ”
"No, I understand what you said!" Xue said depressedly, "It's just that in this way, it is equivalent to entrusting our life and death to the Qu family, but is the Weiyuan Qu family trustworthy?" ”
This question stopped Buchen! In good conscience, the two Xiongguan that went to the hinterland of the eastern country and the western continent were handed over to the Qu family to be responsible, and it was really a little psychological to be a little unsubdued, after all, the Qu family used to be an ally with him, but just to keep an inexplicable minister for the Yun family, they betrayed themselves and refused to let their remnants of the army arrive outside the Wushan Pass, until they used extraordinary means and pretended to be a ghost before they reluctantly opened the pass......
Since then, the relationship between the two families has been a little stiff, except for some official exchanges, there is no communication at all, whether such a Qu family can be trusted, it is really a big question mark!
It's just that he didn't do it to his compatriots in the name of a teacher, if he didn't really do it, then his reputation would definitely be rotten, as a force that needs to unite everyone in order to save the end of mankind, this is undoubtedly unacceptable! In particular, most of the territory of the Cyris Empire is still in the hands of a group of "moral gentlemen".
"Xue, the teacher is unknown, and we can't afford the notorious reputation of being in the same room!" Buchen shook his head and said.
"So what to do? Keeping the Qu family is destined to be a hidden danger! And it's a big disaster! Fei Fei, who had been listening to her for a while, interjected.
"Dilemma." Buchen sighed helplessly.
Xue and Fei Fei knew the difficulties of Buchen, and they had no idea of their own, so they could only remain silent.
After a while, You Chengzong, who had been thinking about it, spoke: "No, if you want to solve the problem of the Qu family, there are only two possibilities!" First of all, the Qu family will attack us first, so that we can kill it with our backhand! ”
"However, how can the Qu family attack us for no reason?" Fei Fei asked, tilting her head.
"Feifei, don't interject! Listen to Lao You finish speaking! Buchen scolded loudly.
Fei Fei pursed her lips, and although she was a little dissatisfied with Buchen's attitude, she still didn't say anything.
You Chengzong nodded to Buchen, and continued: "The second possibility is that the Qu family defected to the beast captives and was caught by us!" ”
Fei Fei couldn't help it at all, rolled her eyes and said, "I thought you were a big guy, but it turned out to be all nonsense!" At present, the beast captives are still entrenched in the left side of the Beijing Division, far away from the four towns of Wushan, and Qu Yongchen will only go to surrender if he is crazy! ”
Buchen was also a little annoyed when he heard You Chengzong's "two possibilities", what Fei Fei said was indeed right, what Lao You said was all unrealistic nonsense!
"Lao You, is there anything we can do now that works?" Buchen asked impatiently.
Buchen and Fei Fei both thought that You Chengzong had no dry goods, but they didn't expect You Chengzong to nod: "There is no good idea, there is an idea of a dead horse being a live horse doctor!" ”
"Oh? Let's talk about it! Buchen hurriedly said.
You Chengzong didn't mean to sell Guanzi, and directly said his bad idea: "Win over the Qu family!" ”
"Wooing?!" Buchen's brows immediately furrowed, and he asked with some hesitation.
"Yes!" You Chengzong nodded, "Since we can't use force, let's use Huairou means!" Since we returned to the four towns of Wushan, the relationship with the Qu family has been a little stiff, especially after the news that you are not dead has been confirmed by the Qu family, since this is the case, let's try our best to get in touch with them, restore the original good relationship first, and then establish an alliance, so that we can feel more or less at ease. ”
You Chengzong's idea is indeed a bad idea, he gambled everything on that piece of paper, once the Qu family tears up the covenant again, they are estimated to be in great trouble!
It's just that Buchen can't think of any other way......
"That's it, how do you get co-opted?" Do not ask the feudal society indigenous You Chengzong.
"It's easy!" You Chengzong smiled, "Aren't we a lot of joint ventures with businessmen now?" There are a lot of high-end luxuries, pick a few from them and send them to Qu Yongchen, and then send a person who can eat in Qu's house to be a messenger It should be no problem! ”
Buchen nodded, high-end luxury goods are easy to say, for example, the latest vertical fitting mirror produced in his factory, as well as the treasure knife made by Seiko, with a bearing design, a gorgeous carriage or something, these are all "treasures" that can be encountered and cannot be sought in the outside world, but it is nothing to him Xiao, and everyone who takes it out and gives it to Qu Yongchen is not distressed at all.
"Luxury is not an issue. The key now is the choice of the messenger. As he spoke, Buchen turned his gaze to You Chengzong, the initiator.
The relationship between Lao You and the Qu family has a long history, and many important people on the other side respect him as a person.
"Lao You, this is really you!" Xue also echoed, and Fei Fei turned her head a little unpleasantly.
You Chengzong smiled bitterly, he was really cocooning himself and making trouble for himself.
"Alright! I'm here for this trip! ”
You Chengzong agreed.
"But no, what if the Qu family asks us for arms?" You Chengzong was very conscious of the envoy, and asked about the details of the negotiation before he set off.
Buchen hesitated for a moment and replied: "If you want armor, knives and guns, you can send them some, artillery and guns are not discussed!" ”
You Chengzong shook his head, the world knows that the most valuable thing in their power is firearms, and if they only send armor, swords and guns, they will inevitably be considered insincere.
Seeing You Chengzong's expression, Buchen was also a little embarrassed: "If the Qu family is given firearms, if there is a change, it will take a lot of effort for us to solve them!" ”
"That's right." You Chengzong sighed, quite helpless.
At this moment, Xue interjected: "No, in fact, firearms can't be given to the Qu family." ”
"What?!" Buchen turned his head to stare at the snow as if he didn't hear clearly.
"I mean, it's not that firearms can't be given to the Qu family!" Snow repeated it in a calm tone.
"Snow, are you crazy?!" As Fei Fei spoke, she was about to reach out and touch Xue's forehead, as if she wanted to confirm whether the other party had a fever and fainted head.
"Don't do that, Fei Fei! I am fine! Xue was a little angry and pressed Fei Fei's hand down, and said to Buchen: "Buchen, do you remember?" Those field guns that we dragged from Beijing? ”
"Eight-pound, four-pound?" Buchen blinked.
"Yes." Xue nodded, a sly smile appeared on her face: "The manufacturing technology of these artillery pieces is completely outdated, and they will not equip the troops, and because they have been used for too long, they don't have much lifespan, isn't it just right to give them to the Qu family to be able to waste them?" And the first thing the Qu family has to solve is the problem of the existence of firearms, so they will not be picky eaters! And ......" Snow's smile became more and more cunning, with her melon seed face, which was a bit like a beautiful vixen, "We don't necessarily have to tell them that these are old cannons, do we?" ”
At this time, the snow has already used the human body that was shipped from the elf kingdom, because it is considered a complete resurrection, it looks much more vivid and vivid than when using the blood body, and I don't know if it is the change brought about by the resurrection, and the snow's character is not as cold as before, this laugh really makes Buchen a little dizzy.
"Henry!" Fei Fei was stunned when she saw Buchen, and pinched his waist in annoyance!
Buchen screamed miserably, gasped, and then asked Fei Fei angrily: "Ouch! Hiss...... Fei Fei, why do you have to be so ruthless for no reason?! ”
"Humph!" Fei Fei didn't mean to answer at all, and turned her head to the side as if she couldn't hear.
"Bastard!" Buchen gritted his teeth, and just wanted to do something to Fei Fei, but at this moment, Xue suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched his chin, and twisted his head in front of her: "Buchen, let me ask you!" Will my idea work? ”
Looking at the delicate face in front of him, what else can Buchen say?
"Yes, of course!" Buchen replied almost reflexively.
