Poor Hanmuye was thrown away by Du Wei for two days. Hanmuyer was furious at first, but he was an experienced politician after all, and then he controlled his anger very well, and even issued a strict order to strictly prohibit his subordinates from causing trouble in the ducal palace.

Otherwise, the rude and unruly steppe warrior retinue under his command, after holding back their breath, would probably have already fought with the guards of the Duke's Palace.

Now, under the strict orders of Hanmuye, these steppe people are quite peaceful. It's just that the dignified envoy of a country actually has to pay out of his own pocket and send people out to buy food in the surrounding restaurants every day...... This kind of treatment, I'm afraid, is also the first time in the past.

At that time, the restaurants around the Duke's Palace, after getting the hint from the Duke, in the face of these "fat sheep" sent to the door, have increased their prices three times, which can be regarded as a small profit.

"They've been very honest these two days. Du Wei stood on top of the tower, hiding behind the windowsill, looking at the tents below. The warriors of the steppe people stayed outside the tent, and Hanmuye was very honest and stuffed in the tent every day, but sent someone to ask Mader every day to routinely ask Mader, "Is the magic test over the Duke, and can we start talks?"

Every time the other party asked, Mader would reply perfunctorily, "After the Duke is done, he will naturally come to see the distinguished guests." ”

But then, I will add a sentence intentionally or unintentionally: "Your Excellency Duke said that the agreement drafted before, please consider it more." Anyway, nothing has happened recently, if you have any construction xìng opinions. You might as well think clearly, and when the Duke has time to meet, you can bring it up immediately, and you won't waste your time. ”

That means: we make a price all over the sky, and you pay back the money on the spot, but in the end, you still have to make conditions.

However, it seems that Hanmuye is not in a hurry, and seems to have the determination to spend it with Du Wei.

"It seems that trying to provoke him has little effect. Du Wei sighed and looked at Philip beside him: "Do you have any other tricks?"

Philip thought for a while and said with a smile: "My lord, we are just testing each other's bottom line. Now these two days seem. In fact, the results are already good. ”

Du Wei rubbed his nose and nodded, "You're right. If the steppe people are really tough. He couldn't bear our neglect a long time ago. It seems that they don't want to fight either. ”

"I don't want to hit the ground. It's just that this time it's their fault, and their army has run into our territory, and it's their fault anyway. It's just that it seems that they don't want to make any compensation. I don't want to fight, so if I continue to consume it like this, the grassland people are also willing. ”

"So...... We might as well be tougher?" Du Wei touched his chin. Smiled slyly.

"I think it's pretty much there. Philip was a little worried: "After all, we don't have the strength to really start a war now." If you really off the other party......"

"But you have to get some benefits and compensation. Du Wei shook his head.

Philip, the staff, didn't have a good idea. This procrastination. It's already a good strategy. Anyway, I don't want to fight, and the other party doesn't want to fight. And he prescribed a "harsh" condition, which is already very tough, and when the time comes. Speaking to the outside world, both the main battle faction and the main peace faction had nothing to say to Du Wei.

Or...... Brainstorming?

Du Wei also understood the truth that the three stinkers were better than Zhuge Liang. Although Philip has grown amazingly, after all, he still thinks about orthodoxy, and his sword is not good at taking evil ideas.

As a last resort, Du Wei simply brought several generals under his command to discuss.

Longbottom, Dardanelles, and even the two hundred and five Gheda who was quite heroic in the battle of Gilliat (who has now been promoted to Longbottom's deputy), Uncle Alpha, the captain of the old smoke guard, and so on......

"I'm here with you today to discuss how to deal with this Hanmuye. Du Wei looked at the generals under his command and said with a smile: "I know that this kind of government strategy is not what you are good at, but ...... Brainstorming, maybe our way of thinking is too routine, but what can you come up with? ”

A few rough generals thought for a while, but it was the little two hundred and five, and Gaida was the first to speak.

The man looked murderous and lowered his voice: "Lord Duke...... Aren't they sending people to the city every day, we can send people to pretend to be thieves or land snakes, and teach their people a hard lesson, injure a few, and kill a few people if necessary, and see if this guy can calm down!"

Du Wei glanced at this little two hundred and five, sighed helplessly, picked up a pen and stuffed it to Xiao two hundred and five: "General Gaida, take this pen, there is a corner over there, you go and squat there and draw circles to play......

Then Du Wei looked at Longbottom: "Dear general, do you have any suggestions?"

"Otherwise, find someone to pretend to be an assassin and assassinate this Hanmuye, poison or assassinate...... This guy is very difficult, even if he doesn't really kill him and make him seriously injured or sick, the steppe people send another messenger, maybe it will be much easier to deal with. ”

Du Wei stared at Longbottom, handed him a pen, and pointed to the corner: "Dear general, you go and draw with Gaida......"

When Du Wei looked at Lao Yan, Lao Yan didn't wait for Du Wei to speak, and directly smiled bitterly: "My lord...... Please give me a pen too. ”

Dardanelle thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Perhaps...... I have a solution. However, I'm afraid that General Longbottom will have to cooperate. ”

"Oh?" Du Wei's eyes lit up.

Dardanelle then came up with a bizarre idea:

"Now Hammuye refuses to speak, and everyone is competing for patience. Your Excellency the Duke, you are hanging him, and the strategy is right. But Hanmuye is not a fool either, the key now is that we don't have enough chips in our hands, and he also understands that the empire is not willing to go to war. So we hung him out, and he had nothing to fear. And it drags on day by day. We don't have any good either.

With all due respect, my lord. In this negotiation, everyone does not want to fight, so at least the two sides are unanimous on this point. Then there are two biggest problems.

First, we must not offend the landlord war faction! Therefore, peace talks are for peace talks. But it's better for the other side to bring it up - and - than us. If we take the initiative to seek peace, then I am afraid that the main battle faction will blame you for being weak and betraying the country, leaving a stain on your future political career. It's better for the other side to offer a peace, so that we can pretend to be tough. Then accept. Above public opinion, it will also be supported. The other party gave us a step. We went down the trend, and the main battle faction of Dìdū did not attack us with a tongue anymore. “

A smile flashed in Du Wei's eyes, and he glanced at Dardanelle deeply: "Go on." ”

Dardanelle coughed and continued, "It was the first just now, now the second...... Well, this second problem. That's the benefit! Logically. This time, the other party is at fault. If there is to be peace talks, the other side should pay some compensation. The more compensation the other party pays. So, my lord, you are the envoy of the negotiator. to have more face. Say it and let the steppe people bow their heads and compensate. You can also earn fame and political achievements. But the problem now is that the other party doesn't seem to want to pay any price. I just want to procrastinate. He knew we couldn't fight. So no matter how tough we play, he won't be afraid. This Hanmuye land is intended. I guess I don't want to pay for any benefits. I want to deny this in the past. But in this case, you are the messenger. But no compensation has been received, but it is too much to say. How to make the other party pay the price. We have nothing to gain from it. It's absolutely not possible. ”

Du Wei smiled even more strangely: "Well, the two problems you mentioned are actually one: how to make the grassland people take the initiative to sue for peace and pay compensation." ”

Dardanelle smiled wryly. Scratched his head. Laughing: "That's what the words mean." But what...... You can't win 'em all. This thing. If we just ask for compensation. They will not. As...... Make a deal with the other party in exchange for the other party, as long as the content of the transaction is made. We took advantage. Got practical benefits. That's it. ”

Du Wei nodded and looked at Dardanelle: "You don't have to hide it, just say it." What the hell are you thinking?"

"Have you forgotten, my lord, on the prairie. There is also an imperial cavalry division! 20,000 cavalry troops, although not much, is not too little! The empire spends a lot of money every year to support such a cavalry, but the main expense. It's all wasted on long-distance supplies. And for the steppe people. This army stationed on the grassland is also a thorn in their eyes. Nail in the flesh. But in my opinion...... This army really doesn't have much significance in existing......! Withdraw!"

At this point, Longbottom suddenly screamed. He glared at Dardanelle angrily: "What are you talking about! Withdraw?! What are you kidding! If there were no army of 20,000 people, those guys on the grassland would be even more unscrupulous when they started to do things!"

Dardanelle smiled, looked at Longbottom, and said unhurriedly: "General, if it was when you commanded that army in the grassland, the steppe people might still have some scruples under your majesty...... But now, according to our information, the effect of 20,000 people is really limited! Your successor general is far worse than yours. These 20,000 people are really of little use except to make the steppe people disgusting and disgusting, and they also consume a lot of military expenses every year! to feed the military expenses of one army regiment and feed the cavalry of 20,000 people...... Isn't it ridiculous to do this?! If you were the commander of 20,000 men, and you would have managed the army with your own means, I would not hesitate to approve of continuing to raise 20,000 men! Even if it costs a legion of military expenses, I think it is worth it! But now...... It's not worth it!"

Longbottom was silent for a while, and although he was a little reluctant to admit it, he had to sigh: Dardanelle was right.

"You can't just ask for something like negotiating. If we want the other side to make a big step, we must first make a small step. We're waiting for the other party to give us the steps, maybe he Hanmuye is also waiting for us to give him the steps. Thinking of this, Dardanelle thought for a moment, and said, "I think this matter is an excellent opportunity for the Duke! We can put forward a condition: withdraw these 20,000 people from the grassland! Of course...... Withdraw troops from this deal. This kind of thing can only be done in secret. Otherwise it was said. Those ordinary people who do not know the truth and public opinion will probably scold us as traitors! We can secretly propose to the other side to withdraw our troops. And in the name, it is enough to ask them to pay compensation. ”

"What else?" said Dewey, looking at Dardanelle with a smile.

"And ...... I think if I can take the opportunity to get these 20,000 cavalry into my hands...... That's the best! The bigwigs of the dìdū command. In fact, I had the idea of abolishing the 20,000 cavalry a long time ago. After all, the cost of military spending is too large. And the actual effect is low...... If we take the opportunity to propose...... It's up to us to take in 20,000 ......."

"No, no, no!" Little 25 Gaida shook his head: "Throughout the thousand-year history of the empire. Only the private army has been incorporated into the official army! Where is there an official army that has been demoted to a private army! The military will never agree to it!"

Dardanelle laughed, "That's why I said, it's up to General Longbottom to do this!" Of course, it cannot be directly said that it will accept 20,000 people. After all, it is a dignified officer and army. Relegated to the lord's private army. It's too much of a shame in name. The military bigwigs will never be willing to lose this face. So. We might as well say to dìdū: Duke Tulip is loyal to the country. Willing to bear the military expenses of 20,000 people! Apply to the military. It is said that the army of Desa Province is insufficient, and it is located on the frontier. There is a shortage of troops. So please order that the 20,000-strong army be stationed in our province of Dessa. Become an official army in the border areas! Your Excellency, you think, as long as there are 20,000 troops. Stay on our turf. They were fed, clothed, and sheltered. It's all we provide. It's been pinched to death by us! Time will slowly be controlled by us. Although nominally it is still an official army, in fact. But it's become your private army. ”

Du Wei's eyes deepened.

Dardanelle took one last last look at Longbottom and said with a wry smile: "There is one more detail...... I'm afraid General Longbottom needs to sacrifice a little. ”

"What ......"

"I know that General, you hate the Imperial Command. He once vowed never to return to the military. But what...... In order to help the Duke accomplish the great cause of the Northwest. You're going to have to break your vows this time. Dardanelle turned his head to look at Du Wei: "Lord Duke." All you have to do is offer that you will bear all the military expenses, and you will write an official letter in your name. The letter only said that you are loyal to the country, and you will not hesitate to cede your confidants and generals for the sake of the empire. Doing its best to ensure that General Longbottom was the commander of this cavalry force! The imperial side had long been overwhelmed by the matter of military spending. I will definitely agree to your request! When the time comes...... These 20,000 people are here, and the soldiers take the land and we pay the land...... Plus. General Longbottom was originally the commander of this army. With his prestige. Soon they will be able to regain control of 20,000 people! Even though their banner is still a thorn flower...... But the heart. It's already a tulip field!"

At last. Dardanelle concluded: "Actually, we do it. Emperor ** and Regent. Surely we know what we mean. But so. First, the regent is very fond of the duke, and this time it is clear that you are fully responsible. The burden of 20,000 people. dìdū had long wanted to get rid of it! So, in this way, it was co-opted in disguise. The military command does not lose face, and if it can throw off a big burden, most of them will agree! As for the steppe people, we have made the withdrawal of troops on the condition of withdrawing troops. Let them compromise. On top of the negotiation contract, let them bleed a lot. It would be much easier to think about it!, and you, Lord Duke, have completed the negotiations and have not fallen into the prestige of the Empire. At the same time, we also got a 20,000-strong subway cavalry army! Kill three birds with one stone! Why not?"

Even Philip looked at Dardanelle with a look of surprise.

This Dardanelle is quiet and quiet, although he is very conscientious as a city guard, but he is just calm. But I didn't expect him to have this kind of talent and come up with such a plan?

It was Du Wei, who laughed twice and said lightly: "Since this is the case, you might as well try it." Philip, you can help me draft a letter to dìdū...... Well, everyone else is gone, Dardanelle stays, and we'll talk about it later. ”

When everyone was gone, only Du Wei and Dardanelle were left in the room. Du Wei sighed, stared at Dardanelle, and whispered, "My friend...... I'm afraid this plan is not where you came up with it!"

Dardanelle smiled and said, "The Duke is right. I don't have such a good mind. Well...... This ploy. It was the Marquise who came up with it. She knows you've been bothered with negotiations lately. So last night he called me over and told me such a way, so that I could find an opportunity to report it to you. She said she was an outsider after all. It's a woman again. Such a national event, it is difficult to speak directly. ”

Du Wei seemed a little absent-minded. Hmm, I didn't say much.

Dardanelle suddenly thought of something, and his face changed slightly. Suddenly, he knelt down on one knee: "My lord." Do you blame me again? That's why I convey these words. It's not that he still has a nostalgia for the Liszt family, but he is willing to convey it because he thinks the marquise's plan is very good. I, Dardanelle, have been loyal to you. There will be no half-heartedness!"

Du Wei hurriedly helped the old friend up with both hands. Said sincerely: "My local friend." You are mistaken. The two of us are in a fateful relationship. How could I have the slightest suspicion of you? I was absent-minded just now, but I was just feeling that the Marquise was so clever, and that such a plan was really powerful. She is a woman. But it is very admirable! With a woman, she can run the Liszt family to the current scale. Marchioness...... People don't dare to underestimate it!"

There was a pause. Du Wei looked at Dardanelle: "Well, so be it. The Marquise gave me such a great idea. I can't say nothing. You help me to thank her and ask her if there is anything I can do to help. Well...... Later, our family did business in the Northland. Traded with the Liszt family. The price is always let go of the top. ”

Dardanelle smiled slightly: "I think." The Marquise probably didn't care much about the money. The Liszt family was originally wealthy...... Well. My lord. If you want to say thank you, you might as well go and meet the Marquise in person. ”

"Hey, hey!" Du Wei laughed dryly: "Dardanelle, do you also want to match the marriage between our two families?"

Dardanelle said, "My lord, I do think so, but it is not because I am from the Liszt family that I have any selfish intentions. I just think so. Your talent is rare in the world. And the Marquise is glamorous...... Belch. Although there is a gap in age. But I see that the Marquise is sincere to you. And really helpful to you. If the two families are married. It's also good for your business. ”

Du Wei patted Dardanelle on the shoulder: "I understand." You're not selfish, I know. Well...... Merely. Is there a marriage in my land...... I don't want to settle so early yet. And...... I don't like this kind of thing like political marriage. In fact...... In addition to the marriage, I am very willing to cooperate fully with the Liszt family. To form an alliance. Is there only one way to get married?"

Dardanelle shook his head. Obviously not quite agreeing with Du Weidi's point of view, he said: "Although this is your private matter. But as a duke, you're not the same. With all due respect, if you are just a commoner, who you want to marry is naturally your private matter. But as a lord, your marriage is no longer a simple private matter. Now it seems that you and the Liszt family are really the best choice...... Actually, I won't tell you. Colleagues, although they didn't say it. But in fact, most of them are in favor of your marriage to the Liszt family. I had spoken to Mr. Philip, and even he had a vague hint of approval. It's just that everyone knows what you think about Master Vivien...... I'm embarrassed to say it. And...... My lord, to tell you the truth, you have already performed the rite of passage! In the empire, most of the nobles in the nobility are married early, and after the rite of passage, most of them will get married. Even if you don't get married, you will make a marriage contract first. And you are a prominent person, but you still don't have a marriage contract...... That's a bit out of place. ”

Du Wei was silent.

Dardanelle in front of him had a sincere face, and it was obvious that what he said was from the bottom of his heart.

It's just that Du Wei knows his own affairs.

He's not an innocent boy. As for women, he doesn't mind having a few one-night stands. Not a conservative person. Mrs. Liszt was glamorous and moving, and he was certainly tempted. It's just that most of them are just tempted by the beauty of the marquise, and it's purely **the**. If everyone plays ambiguous, they can accept it as a lover.

Forget it.

The only thing that gave him the idea of staying together for the rest of his life was that simple and flawless little stammer.

As for last night, I almost took that Ai Lu female prisoner to correct the Fa on the spot, but I let go and left at a critical time. is also out of an inexplicable affection for Vivian, the Nizidi.

What's more, although Du Wei is not a pure sentiment, he is not the kind of animal that can't control his lower body.

The female assassin last night was nothing if she knocked it down. But the question is...... After the knockdown, how to solve the trouble in the back?

After all, the other party is a person from the Great Snow Mountain, and he is still a disciple of the Witch King. I have enough trouble now, if I "defile" a disciple of the Witch King, it will cause a lot of trouble at that time, but it will not be small!

Damn...... Others can be as beautiful as a cloud when they cross over, but Lao Tzu just plays with innocence. It's a bit ridiculous to say.

Mrs. Liszt...... Mrs. Liszt......

Du Wei thought about it again and again, and suddenly smiled: "In this way, it is indeed not sincere enough for you to help me convey my gratitude." So let someone go to the Marquise and say that I want to invite her to dinner to-night. ”
