Zongwu: My business is to engage people

Chapter 41 Make a Bet

Meng Qingping chuckled and looked at Jiang Yuan

"I am not the only one who can think of this level, there are at least two people here who have thought of this level."

"two?"

Feng Xinyue was stunned.

Meng Qingping hummed softly, clasped his fists and smiled at Jiang Yuan and Yan Qing:"City Lord Jiang, City Lord Yan, I didn't expect that in the small land of Jizhou, there would be two such smart people who ranked second as City Lord. It is not unreasonable for the Xia Dynasty to be so ignorant of talents that it has fallen to its current situation."

Everyone suddenly understood. Didn't Yan Qing's angry words just show that he could see it? He just acted in a much more subtle way, not as sharp as Jiang Yuan.

And Jiang Yuan, at the beginning, everyone was still because of his He was young and looked down on, but now he knows that he can seize the position of city lord from Xu Dong and make Xu Dong willing to submit.

How can this person be simple?

"No... there is another person who also thinks about this level."

Jiang Yuan's words stunned Meng Qingping.

Jiang Yuan walked up to King Weiwu's envoy and asked in a deep voice:"If what I expected is true, King Weiwu also told you before he sent you here that the land of the Five Cities agreed. That's all you need to do is surrender. If you don't agree, I'll let you go back immediately."

"He would send troops to immediately capture the three cities closest to his territory. At the same time, even if the city lords of the five cities agree to surrender, he will only take the three cities closest to his territory, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

The envoy of King Mighty took a deep look at Jiang Yuan and sighed.

"I thought that the city lords of the five cities were all fools, but I didn't expect that an accident like yours would happen. It seems that the prince made a miscalculation this time."

Although King Mighty's envoy did not say it directly, he already acquiesced in Jiang Yuan's words.

Han Tong was so angry that his face turned red and he said angrily.

"Mighty King What does this mean? Are you giving us a blank check and playing tricks on us?"

The mighty king's envoy smiled contemptuously.

"City Lord Han, do you really think that all forces covet the land of the Five Cities? It’s just that no one wants to face two enemies at the same time, so today’s negotiation is"

"If the land of five cities is located in the hinterland of Daxia, and they have already faced each other, do they still need to recruit? You don't seem to understand your situation"

"you……"

Han Tong's face turned red with anger and he couldn't say a word.

"Swish……"

Meng Qingping threw away his folding fan and sighed.

"This mighty king is really not simple. Feng

Xinyue said lightly:"It is indeed not simple. Take three out of five cities, and the Blood Moon Army will not let go of the remaining two cities. Otherwise, the Blood Moon Army will have to face the Qi army alone." By allocating the five cities in this way, the Blood Moon Army and King Weiwu will become a default alliance to jointly resist the Qi army."

"Then if I, Da Qi, want to enter Da Xia, it will be very difficult. Yan Qing smiled bitterly and said:"

The overall situation of the five cities has been decided, and there is no way to reverse it." We have nothing to do for a long time, so you should go back home as soon as possible and find another way out!"

When the three city lords heard this, their faces were extremely embarrassed.

"not necessarily."

Huh?

Everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Yuan.

Han Tong asked quickly:"City Lord Jiang, do you have any idea?"

Jiang Yuan glanced at the four people.

"There is a way, but I need to take over the five cities and become the co-owner of the five cities. If you agree, I will not only be able to protect the land of five cities, but I guarantee that your territory will not only be limited to one city in the future."

"Do you mean to ask us to submit to you and become your subordinates?"

"Yes, this does not wrong you. In fact, you only have two options now. One is to surrender to King Mighty, the Daqi Dynasty or the Blood Moon Army; but after they take over the city, they will not tolerate you, and you will definitely die. This is the place where the three major forces meet. If you can surrender, you may be bribed by others. Only if you die can the five cities accept it with confidence. Yan

Qing smiled bitterly and nodded.

"City Lord Jiang is right, there is only one way left, that is, we voluntarily give up our position as City Lord and escape from the Five Cities, so that we can save our lives."

Han Tong and the other three major city lords looked at each other, and then looked at Jiang Yuan

"City Lord Jiang, if we serve you as our master, can you really keep the city and your current status?"

"Now we are all in the same boat. If I die, you will have a chance to escape. If I live, you will still be the same as before, or even go further. Isn't this guarantee enough? Yan

Qing shouted immediately

"Okay, Lord Jiang, please speak quickly, and I will accompany you to go crazy. I, Yan Qing, am willing to lead Liuyun City under the command of Lord Jiang City."

Han Tong also stood up.

"I, Heiyun City, are also willing to serve Lord Jiang."

"I am Tiger Leaping City……"

Upon seeing this, the mighty king's envoy stared at Jiang Yuan

"City Lord Jiang is really good at taking back the four city lords without a single blow, but I am very curious, how can you withstand the attack of the three major forces with the power of five cities? Jiang

Yuan sneered:"You are wrong. I only need to block the Daqi Dynasty. King Weiwu and the Blood Moon Army are trying to occupy the land of Daxia and change the dynasty." As long as I'm blocking the foreign enemies from the front, they won't hold me back as long as they're not stupid."

"Isn't it?"

The envoy of King Mighty was silent.

Indeed, if Jiang Yuan was moved and the Qi army came in, if he didn't say that he had to face it, it would be difficult to explain his name to the people of Daxia, and he would lose their hearts.

He took a deep breath, He clasped his fists at everyone and said,"Gentlemen, since you are not willing to submit to the prince, there is no need for me to stay. I will take my leave."

Jiang Yuan looked at the leaving figure of King Mighty's envoy, and slowly turned his eyes to Eunuch Cao.

"Eunuch Cao, my heart belongs to Great Xia and I am loyal to the imperial court. I hope to get the support of the imperial court to safeguard our land and borders. I also ask Eunuch Cao to speak kindly in front of His Majesty after returning to the imperial capital and support our five cities with some money and food. Jiang will Remember the kindness of Eunuch Cao."

Eunuch Cao grinned.

"Lord Jiang is loyal and devoted to the country, and everyone in our family sees it. It is my Great Xia’s blessing to have such loyal ministers and good men as City Lord Jiang! Your Majesty will be very happy if he finds out."

"Now that things are over here, our family will go back and resume their lives. Jiang Yuan shouted towards Xu Dong:"

Xu Dong, you send Eunuch Cao off." When passing by Dongzhou City, I asked Mu Hanyan to give Eunuch Cao 10,000 taels of silver as travel expenses. The war is now in chaos, and the imperial capital is far away. Eunuch Cao cannot be allowed to suffer."

"yes."

Eunuch Cao suddenly smiled brightly and looked at Jiang Yuan with a somewhat friendly look.

"City Lord Jiang has spent too much money, and our family deserves it!"

"There are still many things to trouble my father-in-law in the future. After the affairs of the five cities are settled, I will personally go to the imperial capital to visit my father-in-law."

"Okay... we are waiting for you to leave."

"Walk slowly."

Meng Qingping kept watching what Jiang Yuan did, and the admiration in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

The same was true for Feng Xinyue. When Jiang Yuan's eyes turned to her, she sincerely praised

"Xinyue admires City Lord Jiang for being so resourceful and resourceful at such a young age.

Jiang Yuan chuckled and said,"In that case, why not make friends?" From now on, how about our five-city land and Daqi's last ally, non-aggression?"

"Forehead……"

Feng Xinyue was speechless, are you too shameless? I just complimented you a few times, and you just hit the snake and followed the stick?

"City Lord Jiang is joking, military and national affairs cannot be affected by personal feelings. Since the land of the Five Cities is now in your hands, I would like to ask, are you willing to submit to Daqi?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Yuan, wanting to see what choice he would make.

"It is not impossible to submit to Daqi. However, I have always been arrogant and will not surrender to anyone easily unless the other party can defeat me.

Feng Xinyue frowned slightly:"Huh?" What's the meaning?"

"How about making a bet?"
