Qin Ning knew that in the negotiation team of Lingtu City, although he had the highest position, he had the most right to speak, and the person who could make the second prince make up his mind, was Meng Fang.

Therefore, Qin Ning handed over all the negotiation power to the Mongolian side, which is actually not a handover of power, but a true embodiment of the real state.

This is an interesting scene, the Mongolian side, as the deputy, is the main general of the negotiation, and Qin Ning, as the main position, is the deputy of the negotiation.

None of this affected the bigger picture, though.

Negotiation is sometimes just a matter of slapping and being idle.

The first thing to talk about is the question of the ownership of Soul Luck City.

In fact, the Mongolian side knows that this cannot be won no matter what. However, in order to increase the weight of the subsequent negotiations, the Mongolian side still separated itself from Xijon on the issue of ownership.

Xirong Zhan said that Soul Luck City was originally the territory of the Yelan King, and after it was defeated, it would have to be re-owned by the Yelan King no matter what, which was a matter of principle and did not need to be discussed at all.

And Meng Fang said that since the Yelan King had lost the Soul Fortune City, this city had nothing to do with the Yelan King. Therefore, it should be counted as ownerless, and it should be redistributed as a spoils shared by both sides.

Unexpectedly, on such a non-suspenseful issue, the two sides argued for a full day.

Qin Ning felt funny, but he also had to admire that the Mongolian side had a very high talent in negotiation. If it were me, it would be enough to insist on it for half a day.

The two sides went on for a day without any substantial progress. It's almost a happy breakup.

When King Yelan got the news from Xirong Zhan, he also frowned, and continued like this. When is it a head?

But Xirong Zhan didn't think so, and Xirong Zhan was sensitive to the great possibility of cooperation because of today's rift. The other party's asking price is not here, but somewhere else.

This reason is very simple, if the other party is not sincere, he will not be entangled in an endless problem without suspense. Other words. The other party has made full preparations to find it in other places. In this way, the sincerity of the other party's cooperation has greatly increased.

King Yelan agreed with the analysis of the Battle of Xijon. Tell Xirong Zhan not to be angry, you can talk slowly, and leave all the matters to Xirong Zhan to deal with. Unless it is a matter of principle, the battle of Xijon can be dealt with with with carte blanche .

The second day of the negotiations. Meng Fang's tone loosened. It means that it can represent the generosity of the second prince to accept the mention yì of the Yelan King to occupy the Soul Luck City.

But in this way, because of the extremely unequal benefits obtained by the two sides, in terms of manpower and material supply, King Yelan should be bleeding heavily.

Therefore, the combat troops should be the materials consumed by the Yelan King. It should also be out of the Yelan King, because the return and the effort should be proportional.

Xijon was a little angry. According to the Mongolian side, if the second prince doesn't come out of anything, he can get huge benefits, which is simply pie in the sky.

The Mongolian side explained this, first of all, the second prince is not not a person, but he wants to take all the circumstances into account. In a straight line, Lingtu City is the closest to Soul Luck City. Therefore, the army of Leiyang City dispatched by the Yelan King is bound to pass through the territory of Lingtu City.

And during this period, Lingtu City has to use a lot of manpower to respond to this, how can it be said that it is not contributing?

The Mongolian side and Xijon fought a red-faced war, and it took two days of bargaining like small traders and vendors to reach an agreement.

The total number of troops on both sides is not less than 160,000, including 90,000 on the Yelan King Front and 70,000 on the Lingtu City Front.

This is a regular combat unit.

In terms of logistical supply, they will adopt the method of mutual guarantee. However, in Lingtu City, there are fewer combat troops, and the logistics army must be increased accordingly. After all, if the Yelan King's troops sent out a large number of logistics troops, it would be a big loss.

Within the scope of Lingtu City's control, Lingtu City also gave sufficient manpower support. Send guides and manpower to deliver supplies.

The two sides first sent their own troops, and when they reached the River of Despair, they came together to discuss the issue of jointly attacking Soul Luck City.

The three-day problem of supplying troops and materials was finally resolved, and then the two sides had a fierce debate over coordination and command.

There is no doubt that Xirong Zhan is the supreme commander of the Leiyang City Front, while the Lingtu City Front is the nominal commander of the second prince, and the Qin Ning Military Division is specifically responsible for military affairs.

In terms of the selection of the presidential commander of the coalition army, Xirong Zhan insisted on being a person from the Leiyang City Front, that is, himself. The reason is very sufficient, that is, the number of troops in the Leiyang City Front is large, and it should be led by the Leiyang City Front Army.

The Mongolian side insisted that the commander is a status symbol, and since the second prince is on the front line, the commander is naturally served by the second prince.

Qin Ning really admired these two negotiators, on such a question, the two sides quoted scriptures and scriptures, without any repetition of the same rhetoric, entangled for a whole day, and no one gave in.

In the end, Qin Ning felt that it was really impossible to entangle on this issue, so he proposed a compromise plan. The president is handsome, with a false title, without any decision-making power. And the one who is really responsible for the planning of the entire coalition is the deputy commander-in-chief of the different forces.

The formulation of the battle plan must be carried out with the participation of all the deputy commanders, and a unanimous decision can be formed.

In this way, the issue of the position of presidential marshal will be easily solved, and Xijon will not fight for this nominal position. And this vacant position is held by the second prince.

After solving this problem, we will enter the most intense negotiation link, the issue of benefit distribution.

Soul Fortune City has already been fixed as the spoils of war on the side of the Yelan King, and there is no room for negotiation in this regard. However, the two sides had a fierce confrontation over the compensation that the second prince received for this.

The lion of the Mongolian side opened his mouth and proposed that in addition to compensating the second prince for the battle damage this time and the last time, he would also use the taxes of Soul Fortune City for the next fifty years as compensation.

Xirong Zhan blushed and had a thick neck, and retorted on the spot that the Mongolian side was asking for an insincere price. Fifty years of taxation. That's simply a bottomless robbery. In other words, after King Yelan occupied Soul Fortune City, he gave away the income of Soul Fortune City for fifty years to the second prince in vain. This cannot be promised in any way.

Mongolia on fifty years of taxation. listed all kinds of possibilities, saying that only in this way could it be possible to make up for the price paid by the second prince.

In this link, another day was wasted.

Then, on the second day of the discussion on the attribution of taxes, the Mongolian side lowered it a little bit, reducing the tax revenue of the second prince to 30 years. But Xijon said that such an outcome was still unacceptable.

Qin Ning has his own judgment, and the bottom line given by the second prince is fifteen years. The two sides should reach an agreement within two or three years above this range.

However, even with a guiding bottom line, the two sides still engaged in negotiations like a bargain.

The third day of tax negotiations. The Mongolian side lowered the deadline to 20 years. Xijon Zhan made a very sincere appearance. I hope that the Mongolian side will surrender again, otherwise I will not be able to explain to King Yelan.

Qin Ning knew that the negotiations were coming to an end, and the two sides had raised their respective interests to the limit, and under the continuous tentative negotiations, both sides adjusted their bottom lines, and it was estimated that the results would be out soon.

On the fourth day, finally. The two sides reached an agreement on the issue of the return of the seventeen-year tax to the second prince. The whole negotiation also came to a perfect end.

After nearly ten days of negotiations, the blindfolds of the Mongolian side were sunken. Xirong Zhan, an outstanding general, also lost a whole weight. As you can imagine, negotiations are a super drain on both sides.

The two sides signed a joint agreement and reached an intention to jointly send troops.

The work of the Mongolian side has come to an end, but the Xirong battle still has to be discussed, because in terms of the coordination of specific troop dispatches, the Xirong war still has to give specific opinions.

Lingtu City has been replaced, and it has been replaced by Qin Ning, but on the side of King Yelan, it is still the Xirong War.

However, the specific plan for sending troops is not as arduous as the negotiation of interests. Qin Ning and Xirong Zhan are both masters of unifying the army in this regard, and on many issues, there will be surprising agreement. Even if there is a disagreement, the two sides will be able to compromise quickly by stating the reasons for it.

In only half a day, Qin Ning and Xirong Zhan worked out the relevant matters of coordinated dispatch.

With such results, Qin Ning and Meng Fang returned to Lingtu City.

As for the results of the negotiations, the second prince was relatively satisfied. After listening to Qin Ning's report on the coordinated march, the second prince immediately appointed Qin Ning as the commander-in-chief of the Lingtu City Front Army to concretely implement the alliance agreement reached.

Lingtu City immediately became lively again, as usual, it was the distribution of defenders, the deployment of manpower, the supply of logistics, and so on, and a series of almost clichés.

After more than ten days of busy work, after receiving the news from Leiyang City, the Lingtu City Front Army, which was personally commanded by the second prince and commanded by Qin Ning, the military division, set off mightily.

The one who fought in the front was Lu Ling, who was personally ordered by Qin Ning, and Lu Ling led 5,000 people to open the road in front of the mountains and build bridges when encountering water.

Because of the last march, this march should actually be regarded as a revisit. Lu Ling did not encounter any difficulties, and marched all the way, passing through the Jiuqugou Panlong Ridge, crossing the Eagle Chou Crossing, and only set up camp by the River of Despair.

The 65,000 troops led by the Second Prince and Qin Ning also joined Lu Ling's forward battalion five days later, and the 70,000 troops were waiting for the arrival of the Xirong Battle by the River of Despair.

After waiting for six days, the Leiyang City Front led by Xirong Zhan also arrived at the River of Despair as scheduled, and joined forces with the second prince.

During this period, Qin Ning used the communicator to make secret contact with Mu Xiongtian. Qin Ning informed Mu Xiongtian that this time he instigated the Second Prince and the Yelan King to come over and attack Soul Luck City, aiming to consume the vital power of these two seven-star iron wall giants, and Mu Xiongtian must do a good job of cooperating.

If you want to deal a heavy blow to these two forces, you can't be in a hurry.

It is necessary to adopt the method of cutting the meat with a blunt knife and slowly eliminate it, otherwise, they will suffer big losses as soon as they come up, and it is very likely that these two will retreat. It will not be able to consume these two, and at the same time, it will have the effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, so that other forces will not dare to act rashly.

Therefore, Qin Ning instructed Mu Xiongtian not to suffer heavy losses in the early attack of the coalition forces of Lingtu City and Leiyang City, but to give some sweetness. In this way, the coalition forces will be unable to stop, and in the end they will not escape the fate of being hit hard.

Mu Xiongtian carefully wrote down Qin Ning's various arrangements and said that he would definitely fight according to Qin Ning's arrangements.

What Qin Ning didn't expect was that the second prince and Xirong Zhan joined forces together, and they didn't have the intention of moving troops for a long time.

On the contrary, what the two of them talk about together is not military affairs, but some local customs, and these two do not seem to have come to fight at all, but seem to have come to travel. (To be continued......)
