Chapter 236: Swap Conditions

"Deal?" Li Mingyang raised his eyebrows, but there was not much surprise.

Along the way, Li Mingyang no longer knows how many trades he has made. It seems that people and even ghosts who see themselves like to make deals with themselves, and gradually he has already seen this, it must be that he has a certain value and the other party will want to make a deal with him, and he likes this thing very much.

The best way for two strangers to deepen their relationship quickly is to involve interests, as long as it is profitable, even two people who are incompatible can work well together.

"What a deal, say it. At this moment, Li Mingyang completely relaxed.

"It's worthy of being a god of war, it's really refreshing. Li Hong didn't forget to praise it, but he was really not good at it.

Li Mingyang smiled: "I'm not a military god, you can just say anything directly." ”

Li Hong was really too lazy to be polite, and said directly: "Although I don't know why you gave up your status as the leader of the alliance leading the southern monks against the Shu army a year ago, since you appeared in the Central Plains after disappearing for so long, I believe you just want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains." ”

Li Mingyang paused and confessed: "Yes, I don't want to go back to the south, so I want to find a place to live in the Central Plains." ”

Hearing Li Mingyang's words, Li Hong's eyes obviously lit up, and his attitude was even more eager: "Okay, it's good to be in the Central Plains, it's still good in the Central Plains, there is really no space for you to develop in a place like Nanban." In that case, how about I give you a fief directly?"

Li Mingyang didn't speak, just stared at each other.

Li Mingyang's heart was furious, and Li Hong sneered: "Of course, I will give you a fief, and you need to help me fight." ”

"That's fine, take what you need. Seeing that the other party finally got to the point, Li Mingyang responded with a sentence. In fact, the so-called transaction is like this, the other party can't give the fief to himself in a good way, if he really wants to give it, he doesn't dare to ask for it.

This is actually the best, even if this is the Central Plains, but if you want territory, Li Mingyang and they always have the ability to fight down, but they are outsiders after all, in the Central Plains, where the aristocratic system is very strict, they are fighting as outsiders, and it is too dangerous to be unjustifiable, all they want is that Li Hong provides them with an excuse to fight, as for the problem of territory, they can naturally solve it themselves.

"However, I can only promise that I will help you in the battle myself, and my people are not out to be thugs for others. After thinking about it, Li Mingyang immediately added.

"This ......" Li Hong didn't expect Li Mingyang to say this, he was speechless for a while, and then smiled: "This can be talked about well." ”

Li Mingyang shook his head resolutely: "I can't talk about it, since you know me, you must know my current situation." In the south, I killed 10,000 Xiliang troops and 40,000 Shu troops, I believe that whether it is King Cheng or King Shu, they can't wait to eat me raw, and even I can't confirm whether you really want to make a deal with me, or if you just want to stabilize me, and then hand me over to King Cheng. ”

Li Mingyang didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said so bluntly, and continued to himself: "Whether it's the south or the Central Plains, I don't have much interest in fighting for hegemony, I just want the people who follow me to have a stable life, you just need to give me a baron's fief, I will build a city myself, I won't disturb your rule, and even I can pay double the tax." In exchange, I'll find a way to get back the fiefdoms of the ten barons, as long as you can come up with a name for me to fight. ”

The two sides talked about this step basically can not go deeper, Li Mingyang made it clear that he was still wary of Li Hong, but he was still willing to try to cooperate with Li Hong, but the premise was that he could only fight, and his people must not move.

Li Mingyang's wariness, in fact, Li Hong is not surprised, after all, a person who can make such a big name in the south is naturally impossible to be gullible with his own words, but the first time he got along with Li Mingyang, Li Hong found a problem that he hadn't thought of before - Li Mingyang actually has some women's kindness!

This was something he had never imagined before, a butcher who could easily slaughter tens of thousands of enemy troops, a lord who could distribute millions of spirit stones at will, and he valued the life and death of his people and his subordinates so much. This is a fatal flaw for any lord.

As the saying goes, if you want to make a contribution, how can an immortal person do it. Which successful king did not step on the throne on the sea of corpses and bones, what if his subordinates died, and if he fought down a larger territory, there would naturally be more people to take refuge. For so many years, Li Hong can't count how many people have died under his men, and even the so-called henchmen will die in some big battles, which is normal, normal.

Li Hong was really puzzled, as long as he showed a little doubt, Li Mingyang smiled faintly after hearing it, and naturally explained: "It's very simple, because they are not my people, and I haven't thought about being any king, so I don't want them to participate in any hegemony." ”

For Li Mingyang's strange remarks, although Li Hong is still puzzled, but he can only stop there, he has already seen that this is a difference in philosophy, or even a difference in beliefs, if you want to say who is right or wrong on this matter, it is really boring.

In the end, Li Hong said as if making a summary: "Okay, you can rest assured, except for me, there are few people in Xiliang County who have seen you, and I will find a way to shut them up, so you don't have to worry that the news of your appearance in the Central Plains will be known by King Cheng or King Shu." Of course, this has to be the first trading chip I ever came up with, and I'm not going to keep it secret for free. Second, I will give you a viscountdom, but not a title, and I will declare it to be my direct territory, so that your people can settle down and you don't have to reveal your identity too much. ”

Li Hong continued: "These two are what I can do, and what you need to do is to help me fight ......" Li Hong thought for a while and stretched out three fingers: "Help me end the battle." ”

Listening to Li Hong's conditions, Li Mingyang couldn't help laughing. The two conditions given by Li Hong are really good, to help himself keep it secret and give himself a small territory, which is indeed what he wanted at the beginning. But listening to his request, Li Mingyang couldn't understand it.

What kind of concept is this, is it possible that war can also be counted in terms of battles?

Looking at Li Mingyang's puzzled look, Li Hong explained: "What I mean is that you help me fight three times, since you don't want your people to participate in my struggle for hegemony, then I will send people to fight, and you help me command the troops." But for the time being, I can't figure out which three battles you're going to help me fight, so I'll find a place to settle you first, and then discuss how you can help me. ”

"I can go with your troops, but the commander ...... It's better to have your people. Li Mingyang said very seriously.

"What's the problem?"

"Yes, there is a problem, the problem is that I don't know how to command the army at all. ”

"What?" Li Hong seemed to have heard a big joke, and said with a questioning face: "The dignified military god Li Mingyang actually said that he would not be able to command the army, do you think your words are convincing?"

"What a god of war, I have never called myself a god of war. Li Mingyang finally asked the doubts in his heart.

"Of course, it can't be that you claim to be the god of war, if everyone recognizes the self-proclaimed god of war, then my brother will already be a military saint. Li Hong said with a smile, but thinking of Li Mingyang's disappearance in the south for more than a year, he still explained: "In the south, you have severely damaged my Xiliang soldiers three times in a row, and annihilated 40,000 Shu troops in a battle outside Phoenix City. ”

Listening to Li Hong's explanation, Li Mingyang was a little dumbfounded, and a little crying and laughing, these things that Li Hong said were indeed planned by himself, but the problem is that the real executor is not himself, especially in the last few battles, it is completely by relying on the help of the wheel to achieve Cheng DΓΉ, which everyone thinks is impossible.

Just looking at Li Hong's convinced expression, Li Mingyang could only continue to smile bitterly. No matter how much he accepts now, the other party can't believe it, he will only think that he is being humble. Only now does Li Mingyang know what it means to be speechless.

"Okay, the god of the army is the god of the army, you can think whatever you want. Li Mingyang gave up arguing and said, "As long as you can do what you said, I will unconditionally help you fight three times." ”

"It's a deal. Li Hong finally laughed heartily.

"It's a deal. Although he was a little depressed, Li Mingyang was still happier that the transaction could go so smoothly.

For Li Hong, in fact, Li Mingyang is very wary, even if the other party swears by it, but in this case, this kind of thing is still difficult to believe. But after thinking about it, Li Hong didn't make a move on himself but just wanted to make a deal when he had an absolute advantage, which had already shown his sincerity. Maybe he is really too cautious to do this, but no matter what, his identity is clear, if he doesn't make a deal, maybe the news of his appearance in the Central Plains tomorrow will be transmitted to King Cheng and King Shu respectively, and there will be a lot of trouble at that time.

For the sake of now, the only option is to believe for the time being.

The reason why I dare to do this is also because there is a celestial city, no matter how bad it is, just run farther with them. Having made up his mind, Li Mingyang said that the cooperation was pleasant.

"What's going on, what's going on?" Seeing Li Mingyang coming back, Guo Yunshan and the others hurriedly greeted him and asked.

"It's okay, it's all settled, and then we can get down to business. ”

"What's the matter?" Guo Yunshan, they were all curious.

Li Mingyang smiled and said softly, "Move." ”
