With the premise of caring about interests, I am not afraid that you will not take the bait!

That's why even if you catch a hundred fish, as long as you still hook it, you'll still catch a hundred and one fish.

"Your Highness, at the moment, I haven't reached any agreement with King Yelan. ”

Hearing this, the second prince was stunned.

Since it has already been discussed, how can there be no intention? Even if the second prince himself does not agree with the intention that Qin Ning brought back, it will not be that no agreement has been formed.

This is a trick that Qin Ning deliberately set for the second prince. If Qin Ning always agitated the second prince to do something, then, not to mention whether the second prince had the mind to see the conspiracy, even the instinct of suspicion that had been cultivated in the power struggle for a long time would also make the second prince have bad thoughts.

Sure enough, the second prince was tricked: "Military advisor, could it be that King Yelan's side is not authentic, or that the military advisor has any concerns?"

Qin Ning said very solemnly: "First, King Yelan is indeed a little unauthentic, and secondly, His Highness is also right, and his worries are not ordinary. ”

A piece of fat is placed in front of you, upsetting you, and then talking about the difficulties, and then saying the solution, a set of combination punches down, not afraid that you will not be convinced.

The highest state of flickering is not to guide the other party to their own goal, but in the process of reaching the goal, lead your nose and make many turns, so that the other party is willing, put in a lot of effort and willingly follow your thinking.

Listening to Qin Ning's two factors, although the second prince had not yet made up his mind to plot the Soul Fortune City, his trust in Qin Ning had already risen.

"Strategist. You don't want to beat around the bush, and ask the military advisor to make it clear. ”

Qin Ning frowned. made a thoughtful look and told the second prince in detail about his "efforts" these days.

On the side of the Yelan King. There is no problem in wanting to join forces with the two princes to take the Soul Fortune City.

However, the asking price on the side of the Yelan King is extremely high, that is, after the two sides obtain the Soul Luck City, the Yelan King side will obtain the entire city of the Soul Luck City. As a reward to the second prince, the Yelan King will be responsible for compensating the second prince for all losses.

This loss not only includes the losses received by the two princes in cooperation with the two sides this time, but also the losses suffered by the two princes when the two sides were hostile last time. Other than that. You can also use a number of years of taxes to give the second prince as the final compensation.

Of course, these are just some simple examples, and the specific compensation or something needs to be negotiated by both parties.

When the second prince heard this, he also felt that it was a bit excessive. That's right, the conditions proposed by the Yelan King were at a huge cost, but compared to the benefits obtained by the Yelan King, it was still a lot worse.

It's like having two choices. One is a mountain of gold, and the other is a cornucopia capable of generating wealth continuously. As long as it's not the brain, you will choose a cornucopia. As for the Yelan King, it seems that he has chosen a cornucopia. And throwing a mountain of gold to the second prince is the same.

Qin Ning was silent, because Qin Ning knew that at this time. It is the most critical moment. No matter how fanciful things you say, you finally make up your mind. The only one who can use the manpower and material resources of Lingtu City is the second prince.

The position is different. It is decided that the idea is different, which is not something that can be described by a simple truth.

At this moment, the second prince is very entangled.

If the information Qin Ning got was accurate, that is to say, Mu Xiongtian, the Blue Star Man of Soul Fortune City, only had 60,000 troops, then responding to the Yelan King's joint efforts would be beneficial and harmless. Even if he took 10,000 steps back and distributed the benefits according to the conditions of King Yelan, it was the result of the second prince's struggle for at least ten years.

However, in this way, the Yelan King obviously has more benefits than himself. cough, I really look fat and worried.

After thinking about it for a long time, the second prince first put down this question and asked instead: "Military advisor, you said that there are not many concerns, what does this mean?"

"Oh, Your Highness, that's right. Although there are only 40,000 people in Soul Fortune City who can be put into defense, Mu Xiongtian is not simple. This guy has repaired some formations in the River of Despair, and the small part has restored some of the enemy-blocking functions of the River of Despair, and has also set up an extremely powerful formation on the outer wall of the Wall of Sighs, which should not be underestimated. ”

The second prince's face suddenly became bitter, and the last time he lost his troops in Soul Luck City, it had become the second prince's heart disease. As long as it is mentioned now, there is something that may lead to a lot of manpower consumption, and the second prince will tremble.

"Strategist, be specific. It can be heard that the second prince's voice is a little trembling.

"According to my on-the-spot investigation, on the periphery of the Wall of Sighs, a six-way chain formation system has been laid out. If there were no people who understood the trick with them, even 50,000 people would sigh in vain. Qin Ning said with a sincere face, of course he wouldn't tell the truth, what he said was just some of the simplest things.

"Huh?" The second prince's liver suddenly rose to his throat, and after a while, the second prince asked, "Does the military advisor have a good plan?"

"It is certain that a small amount of manpower will be sacrificed to break the formation, but this number, conservatively estimated, is also 5,000 people. ”

This is a number that makes the second prince extremely itchy, if there is less, you don't have to care about it at all, and if you have more, you can almost ignore it.

Gradually, the second prince's anxious state of mind gradually calmed down. After all, the second prince is a giant who dominates one side, and if he has no courage, he has long been swallowed by others.

"Strategist, do you estimate how many people you will lose if you join forces with King Yelan? In terms of material resources, it can be regarded as a calculation at any cost. ”

"Your Highness, it has been estimated a long time ago. At the very least, 20,000 men were lost. Because the defensive formation is okay, the defense of the Wall of Sighs, with the lessons learned from the last time, is not so easy to fight this time. ”

"I see. Strategist, you are also tired, please rest for a good student, this prince is counting on Strategist, Strategist must cherish his body!"

After sending Qin Ning away, the second prince called one of his confidants' generals to the palace overnight, and discussed these things that Qin Ning said.

Almost none of the generals who participated in the discussion did not bother to put forward their own opinions. Because the loss of the last attack on Soul Luck City was too great. If you follow the normal rest and recuperation. There is no seven or eight years, and it will not be restored. This time, it is necessary to attack Soul Fortune City again. If there is any more loss, no one can bear this responsibility.

It was a stalemate for a long time. Meng Fang saw the doorway. There is no one who can better understand the intentions of the second prince than the Mongolian side.

In fact, the second prince was attracted by huge interests.

It would take another seven or eight years of struggle to be able to restore the original level of power, which was a cruel thing for any giant on either side.

After all, how many years can there be in life? If you can join forces with the Yelan King to take the Soul Luck City, according to the Yelan King's benefit distribution plan, it will be possible to recover your vitality immediately.

With such a temptation, the second prince didn't move before he came out.

But. This is still risky, and the Mongolian side does not dare to speak lightly, in case of losing, the Mongolian side will not be able to afford the responsibility.

After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Fang came up with a solution: "Your Highness, I think it's better to do this, we can agree to join forces, but in terms of specific troops, we can contribute without contribution." The right is to conduct a military training. ”

The second prince was obviously fascinated by this statement, his eyes lit up, and he motioned for Meng Fang to continue.

Meng Fang means that the current Lingtu City Army. Quite a few are newly recruited soldiers. There is no real combat experience, and the combat effectiveness is extremely low. Anyway, it's also going to be trained, so you might as well pull it out and practice.

Right now. Jiuqugou, Panlongling. and Yingchou crossing, there are no local defense troops left. Therefore, the army should be able to follow these three natural and dangerous sections.

When they arrived at the outskirts of Soul Luck City, they immediately stationed their troops and tried to attack, and once there were a large number of casualties, they could retreat. It is unrealistic to want to train the combat effectiveness of the army without any casualties.

In doing so, we can not only depend on the situation, but also train the troops, so why not do it?

The second prince stroked his palms and laughed: "Meng Fang, you are really good at making decisions." Okay, just follow your plan. When it is dawn, I will find the military advisor and tell the military advisor that we will join forces with the Yelan King! One thing you should remember is that the matter we are discussing is top secret, and if anyone dares to leak it, the military law will do it!"

All the generals hurriedly agreed.

At the same time, all the generals also understood one thing, that is, the military division is no longer so trusted, and such a thing is hidden from the military division, it is obvious that the second prince has a gap in his heart.

The next day, very early, the second prince invited Qin Ning to his place, and after a few pleasantries, the second prince said that he had made up his mind to unite with King Yelan and take Soul Fortune City.

However, before that, there will be a detailed discussion with Yelan King on some specific cooperation details. For example, the specific number of troops sent by the two sides, the coordination of material supplies in all aspects, and the most important thing is the distribution of benefits.

The second prince smiled and said, "Strategist, the value of Soul Fortune City is incomparably attractive. King Yelan wants to swallow this piece of fat like this, the bid is too low, and a fool will not fall for this. ”

Qin Ning said with a smile: "Your Highness, things are discussed. Your Highness doesn't want to set a bottom line, let our people go over to negotiate with King Yelan, and maximize our interests, which is what we have to consider. ”

"Well, it should be. Strategist, no matter what, you're going to have to make a hard trip. Because it was the military advisor who hooked up with the Yelan King. As for what kind of manpower the military advisor should bring, please let the military advisor decide for himself, since this prince trusts the military advisor, let the military advisor make a decision. ”

Qin Ning smiled secretly, on the surface, he said that he would let go, if he picked someone who the second prince didn't like to follow, I was afraid that his previous efforts would be in vain.

"Well, I'm going to make a trip myself. Your Highness, the people I bring must be thoughtful people, and those generals who can charge into battle may not have the ability to do so. In this way, I will take the Mongolian side, and symbolically bring a team of ceremonial guards, and I can go to the Yelan King, what does Your Highness think?"

Qin Ning's words were in the arms of the second prince.

The second prince smiled: "I said, I obeyed the arrangement of the military advisor." Since the military advisor has chosen the candidate in this way, I have nothing to say. ”

Under the arrangement of the second prince, Qin Ning and Meng Fang selected a team of guards with a good image and prepared to set off towards Leiyang City.

Before leaving, the second prince set a bottom line for Qin Ning's negotiations, that is, Soul Luck City could be handed over to King Yelan, but, in addition to compensating for the losses, at least fifteen years of taxes from Soul Luck City should be used as additional compensation.

With the expectations of the second prince, Qin Ning and Meng Fang led the team to set off, and within a few days, they rushed to Leiyang City.

In order to show his sincerity, he has been in constant trouble with Qin Ning, and even King Yelan, who has a deep hatred, presented a very high standard of reception etiquette.

The first general, Xirong Zhan, personally led all the important people except for the King of Yelan, and went out of the city thirty miles to meet Qin Ning and his party.

King Yelan prepared the highest scale of banquet in the palace to entertain Qin Ning and his party.

It is hard to imagine that the two sides were once mortal rivals, but now they are like old friends who have not seen each other for many years.

It was almost a carnival of hospitality for two days, and it was not until the third day that King Yelan sent Xirong Zhan to contact Qin Ning and Mengfang, and talked about the topics that the two sides were most concerned about. (To be continued......)
