Chapter 1322: Negotiation
An An's words calmed Meng Hanran a lot.
The hand that couldn't wait to receive the decree suddenly stopped.
He...... Not the protagonist after all.
Meng Hanran smiled bitterly in his heart, he was too eager.
Previously, because he was completely suppressed by Jian Chen and An An when the momentum was at its peak, it was precisely because of this that he desperately wanted to get back everything he had lost before.
This time, it was not easy to wait for Tang Xuanzong's envoy, and the other party even put forward such a generous condition, and in a moment of excitement, he lost the ability to think.
An An stopped him...... That's right.
He wants to develop Bajian Villa under the wing of the Tang Dynasty, and this strategy is right.
But this does not mean that he is willing to be used as a gunman by Tang Xuanzong.
Bajian Villa finally regained its former vitality, and he didn't want to be excited for a while, and all his strength was completely defeated between Tang Xuanzong and An Lushan.
At that time, what if Tang Xuanzong wins?
Without the Sword Villa, even if he is still alive, what should be written on this blank holy decree?
Let Tang Xuanzong allocate troops to enter his Sword Villa?
That's just a cover-up.
Or it can be said that if Meng Hanran really did that, he would no longer belong to him, but to Tang Xuanzong.
It wasn't what he wanted.
With the relationship of the Tang royal family, he wants to take a little risk and fight the possibility of making Bajian Villa bigger and stronger, instead of becoming a puppet of the royal family!
Cooperate?
If he receives this decree, what cooperation will there be?
Luoyang here cannot be given up.
The single combat power of the people in the martial arts is extremely high, but the problem is that the sects are very different, and it is better to defend the city.
But if the team is pulled out to fight in all directions, it will be too easy to be targeted by the enemy, and it will inevitably cause all kinds of contradictions, just like the previous incident of Zuoqiu Zhenren, and then split itself from the inside.
Therefore, Meng Hanran has always agreed with An An's strategy of defending Luoyang.
It's just that he was dizzy just now, and he was tempted by the blank holy decree, and he almost made a big mistake.
Gao Lishi's brows furrowed, and he didn't look at An An, but looked directly at Meng Hanran, with dissatisfaction in his expression, and said seriously:
"Master Meng Zhuang, your disciples seem to be ...... Don't know the rules?"
Seeing that Meng Hanran was about to take over the holy decree, but at this moment, he was forcibly disturbed, and seeing that Meng Hanran's expression was obviously not as hot as before, which made Gao Lishi very annoyed.
The reason why he directly threw his biggest hole card to Meng Hanran as soon as he came up was because he saw that the relationship between the three of them was not a subordinate relationship, and since Meng Hanran was the principal of the other party on the surface, he took Meng Hanran down first before he could say anything, as long as Meng Hanran nodded, the other two people could not directly refute Meng Hanran's face.
But now, before Meng Hanran's hand touched the holy decree, he was stopped by one of the young men, and it seemed that Meng Hanran also had the intention of waking up.
So the temptation of this holy decree is here in Meng Hanran...... I'm afraid it's useless for the time being.
Taking a deep breath, of course Gao Lishi had to pretend on the surface, two high-level people were talking, and one of the disciples who was just here to listen to the rising knowledge dared to intervene directly, of course he would show displeasure.
"General Gao, please stop your anger!"
Of course, Meng Hanran felt Gao Lishi's dissatisfaction, but he was also scolding this old fox in his heart, although An An's stop was very timely, but he once again refuted his face in front of outsiders, and he was also very unhappy about this.
It's not cool to be unhappy, but now is the time to unanimously open up to the outside world, after all, An An's purpose is just to let Tang Xuanzong come to Luoyang, and he won't have any thoughts about the development of his Bajian Villa.
"That's ......" Meng Hanran pondered for a moment before he said: "General Gao, you must also know that although my Central Plains martial arts are full of talents, they are also the most disobedient people. ”
Gao Lishi nodded, of course he knew that if it weren't for this, Tang Xuanzong would have already taken the people in the Central Plains Martial Arts for his own use, and what would happen to him Meng Hanran.
"Yes, fortunately, there is Master Meng Zhuang, if it weren't for your courage, I'm afraid that the Central Plains Martial Arts would not be able to be integrated by now. ”
Colliers admitted Meng Hanran's statement, and by the way, he put on a high hat for the other party.
That's not what I said. ”
Meng Hanran shook his head, after sobering up, how could he be fluttering because of the other party's verbal flattery, and said calmly: "Although Meng Mou accepted the face appreciation of his friends and temporarily took the responsibility of the alliance leader, but the rivers and lakes are not as good as the court, and he can't use the court's set to restrain fellow martial artists, and Meng Mou also needs to be responsible for all the heroes of the rivers and lakes, so he can't push them into the fire pit." ”
"You mean to say...... Is there a fire pit over there for the emperor?"
Gao Lishi's complexion changed, his power rose, and his eyes staring at Meng Hanran began to be unkind.
"Meng didn't mean that, General Gao shouldn't misunderstand, but ......"
Meng Hanran smiled, waved his hand, and said, "However, General Gao naturally knows that with the current situation, An Lushan's side is stronger, which is also a fact. ”
Colliers was silent.
This negotiation is very unequal, after all, everyone knows today that the side that was suppressed by An Lushan and Shi Siming was the Tang Army, and after losing half of the country, what did he use to negotiate with Meng Hanran in a tough way?
"So General Gao, what Meng means is that there is no problem for the manpower we have gathered here to guard a Luoyang City, but if the emperor wants to use the Central Plains martial arts for his use and go around to conquer the Anshi army, then we don't have to talk about it anymore, Meng can't be the master, and he can't be the master!"
Meng Hanran is very resolute, it is the bottom line to stick to Luoyang, he knows very well that if he dares to agree to Gaolis's request at this critical time, then what will follow is revenge from the two behind him.
No, it's actually a bit too much to say revenge.
Jian Chen and An An didn't even have to do anything, and it was no problem for him to take people out of Luoyang.
Leaving Luoyang meant that Meng Hanran would face An Lushan's iron cavalry army with the help of Jian Chen.
You must know that An Lushan can proudly deploy thirteen grandmasters here in Luoyang, so what about his own formation?
How many grandmasters will exist?
Leaving Jian Chen, when Meng Hanran met a master master, he would only have the life of being pinched and flattened, just like the previous Zuoqiu Zhenren, there would be no possibility of resistance at all.
Therefore, Meng Hanran knew that his strength was not as strong as outsiders saw, and if he wanted to become stronger and sit firmly in his current position, he must be inseparable from Jian Chen's help!
And this is also the answer he finally found in his inflated heart after being suppressed by An An!
