Law of the Devil Chapter 263: [One stone, three birds]

Chapter 263 [One Stone, Three Birds]

Poor Hammuye was thrown by Du Wei for two days. At the beginning, Hammuye was very angry, but after all he was an experienced politician, and then he controlled his anger well, and even issued strict orders to strictly prohibit his men from causing trouble in the Ducal Palace.

Otherwise, the rude and brave prairie warriors who followed him, breathed a sigh of relief, and I'm afraid they would have been fighting with the guards of the Duke's Mansion.

Now, under the strict order of Hamuye, these prairie people are still at peace. However, a dignified envoy of a country actually has to pay for his own pockets and send someone out to buy food in the surrounding restaurants every day ... I am afraid that this treatment has suffered for the first time.

At the time, the restaurants around the Duke's Mansion, after receiving the suggestion of the Duke of the Lord, faced the "fat sheep" who had been brought to the door, and they have tripled the price, which is a small profit.

"They are very honest these two days." Du Wei stood on the tower, hiding behind the windowsill, and looked at the tents below. The warrior of the prairie was outside the tent, and Hanmuye was honestly suffocating in the tent every day. Instead, he sent people daily to ask Mader, "Is the Lord the Duke's magic test ended, can I start the talks?" .

Every time the other person asks this, Mader will perfunctoryly answer, "After the Duke is busy, he will naturally come to see the guests."

But then, I will also add a sentence, intentionally or unintentionally: "Master Duke said, I would like to invite the guests to consider the agreement that was drafted before. Anyway, if nothing has happened recently, if you have any constructive comments, please Just think about it, and when the Duke has time to meet, he can raise it immediately without wasting time on both sides.

That means: we open the price all day long, and you pay the money on the spot, but in the end you still have to ask for it.

But it seems that Hammuye is not in a hurry, it seems that he has the determination to consume with Du Wei.

"It doesn't seem to have much effect to anger him." Du Wei sighed and looked at Philip next to him: "Are there any other tricks?"

Philip thought for a while, and laughed, "Sir, we're just trying to test each other's bottom line. Now it seems these two days. Actually, the results have been good."

Du Wei rubbed his nose and nodded, "You're right. If the prairie people are really tough, we would be indifferent, he would have been tempted. It seems that they don't want to fight. "

"You should n’t want to fight, but this time, after all, it was their losses. Their army ran to our territory. In any case, it was their fault. Only. It seems that they do not want to make any compensation. .Do not want to fight, so the grassland people are willing to consume so much.

"So ... we might as well be tougher?" Du Wei grinned slyly and smiled.

"I think it's almost there." Philip was a little worried: "After all, we don't have the strength to really start a war now. If we really mess with the other party ..."

"You can always get some benefits and compensation." Du Wei shook his head.

There is nothing good about Philip the aides. This drag trick is already a good strategy. I don't want to fight anyway. The other party didn't want to fight, and they set out a "harsh" condition by themselves, which is already very tough, when the time comes. As far as foreigners are concerned, both the main war faction and the main peace faction have nothing to say to Dewey.

Or ... brainstorming?

Du Wei also understands that the three tanners are better than Zhuge Liang. Although Philip grew amazingly, after all, thinking about the problem was still more orthodox. Sword walking on the side of evil ideas was not his specialty.

Unfortunately, Du Wei had consulted several of his generals.

Long Barton. Dardaniel, and even the little heroic 250 Gaida (now promoted to the deputy of Longbatton) who fought bravely in the city of Giliat, Uncle Alpha, Captain of the Old Smoke, etc ... /

"To come to you today, is to discuss how to deal with this Hamuye." Du Wei looked at his generals and smiled: "I know, this kind of government strategy. Not everyone is good at it. But ... Let ’s brainstorm, maybe our way of thinking is too routine. What can you think of? ”

Several thick-lined generals thought for a while, but the little one two hundred and fifty, Gaida spoke first.

The man looked murderous and lowered his voice: "Master Duke ... don't they send people to the city every day, we can send people to pretend to be thieves or earth snakes and teach their people a hard meal, Injury a few, kill someone when necessary, and see if this guy can hold his breath! "

Du Wei glanced at this little 251, sighed helplessly, picked up a pen and gave it to the little 255: "General Gaida, hold this pen, there is a corner, you go Squat and play in circles ... "

Dowie then looked at Longbottom: "Dear general, do you have any suggestions?"

"Otherwise, find someone to pretend to be an assassin, to assassinate this Hamuye, to poison or to assassinate ... This guy is very difficult, even if he doesn't really kill him, causing him to be seriously injured or seriously ill, The prairie people sent another messenger, maybe it would be better to deal with it. "

Du Wei stared at Longbatton, and handed him a pen, pointing at the corner: "Dear general, go and draw with Gaida ..."

When Du Wei looked at Lao Yan, Lao Yan no longer waited for Du Wei to speak, and just smiled bitterly: "Sir ... please give me a pen."

Dada Neil thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Maybe ... I have a way. But I'm afraid General Lombardon will cooperate."

"Oh?" Dewey's eyes lit up.

Dada Neil then came up with a weird idea:

"Now that Hammuye refuses to say anything, everyone is fighting for patience. Lord Duke, let him air him. The strategy is to the ground. But Hammuye is not a fool. The key now is that we don't have enough chips in our hands. He also understands that the empire is unwilling to go to war. So if we hang him again, he will have no fear. And dragging on day by day, we have no good.

Sir. with all due respect. No one wants to fight in this negotiation, so at least the two sides are unified on this point. Then there are two biggest problems.

In the first place, we can't offend the emperor landlord war faction! Therefore, peace talks are to be held. But it's better for the other party to come up with 'and', not us. If we take the initiative to make peace, then the main faction of the imperial capital will probably blame you for your weakness and traitorship. Leave a stain on your future political career. It's best if the other party asks for ‘summation’, so that we pretend to be tough and accept it. Above public opinion, it will also be supported. The other party gave us a step, we went down the trend, and the main faction of the imperial capital did not attack us. "

Du Wei's eyes flashed a smile. Take a deep look at Dardanelle: "Keep talking."

Dada Neil coughed and continued: "It was the first, but now the second ... uh, is this the second problem, the benefit! In theory, this time it is the other party Reasons for loss. To talk in peace, the other party should pay the price of some compensation. The more compensation the other party pays, the more mature you are as the negotiator of the negotiation. Say it. Let the prairie person lower his head for compensation, you can also Earn fame and political achievements. But the problem now is that the other party does n’t seem to want to pay any price, and he just wants to delay. He knows we ca n’t fight. So if we pretend to be tough, he will not be afraid. This Hamuye ’s I do n’t want to pay for any benefits, so I want to deny it. But you, as an ambassador, ca n’t get any compensation, but it ’s too unreasonable. How can you let the other party pay? The price comes. We have nothing to gain, and absolutely nothing. "

Du Wei laughed even more strangely: "Well, the two questions you said are actually one: how can grassland people take the initiative to sum up and pay compensation."

Dada Neir smiled strangely, scratched his head, and laughed: "That's what it means. But ... there are gains and losses. If we just ask for compensation in this matter, they must refuse. .It's better ... by exchanging! Make a transaction with the other party. As long as the content of the transaction, we take advantage. We get the actual benefits, that's it. "

Dou Wei nodded and looked at Dardaniel: "You don't have to cover it up, let's just say, what exactly do you want?"

"Mother, have you forgotten that, above the grassland, there is an Imperial Cavalry Division! The army of 20,000 cavalry, although it is not much, it is not too small! The Empire spends a lot of money every year to feed it. A cavalry, but the main costs are wasted on long-distance supplies. For the prairie people, this army stationed on the prairie is also a thorn in their eyes and a nail in the flesh. But in my opinion ... … This army doesn't really make much sense! It ’s better to ... withdraw! ”

That's all for now, Longbottom screamed, glaring at Dardanelle: "What did you say! Withdraw ?! What are you kidding! Without the army of 20,000 people, the prairie Those guys above are even more reckless when they do things! "

Dada Neil smiled, looked at Longbottom, and said without hesitation: "General, if you were in charge of that army on the grassland, the grassland people may still be under your authority. Somewhat jealous ... but now, according to my information, the effect of these two people is very limited! The general you succeeded is far less capable than you. In addition to letting the grassland people Apart from nausea, it is not very useful, and it consumes a lot of military expenses every year! Isn't it ridiculous to feed the military expenses of a legion and the cavalry of 20,000 ...? As the commander of the 20,000 people, you will not hesitate to support the 20,000 people with your means and run the army! Even if it costs a military army, I think it is worth it! But now ... It's not worth it! "

Lombaton was silent for a while, and although he was unwilling to admit it, he had to sigh: Dardanelle was indeed right.

"Negotiating such things can't be bluntly demanded. If the other party makes a big step, we must first make a small step. We are now waiting for the other party to give us steps, maybe he is also waiting for us Give him steps. "D'Darnier thought of it, thinking for a moment, and said," I think this thing is an excellent opportunity for Lord Duke! We can put forward the conditions: Evacuation of these two people from the grassland Of course ... the withdrawal of the troop. It must not be made public! Such a thing can only be a secret transaction. Otherwise, the people and the public opinion of the imperial city who have not known the truth will probably call us adults into traitors! We can secretly and The other party asked for withdrawal. On the surface, asking them to pay compensation was enough.

"What else?" Du Wei stared at Dada Neil with a smile.

"And ... I think if you can take the 20,000 cavalry into your hands ... it would be the best! I heard that the commanders of the commander generals of the capital are actually revoked long ago. The thought of 20,000 cavalry. After all, the military expenditure is too huge, and the actual effect is low ... if we take the opportunity to propose ... Let us receive 20,000 people ... "

"No! No!" Gaida, two hundred and fifty, shook his head: "Looking at the thousand-year history of the empire. Only the private army was incorporated into the official army! Where is the official army being degraded to the private army! Such things, the military absolutely does not Will agree! "

Dada Neil laughed: "So I said that this matter will depend on General Longbatton! Of course we can't say directly to the Emperor to accept 20,000 people. After all, an official army was deprecated. It is too shameful to be a master in the private army. The military leaders will never want to lose this face. Therefore, we might as well tell the emperor: The Duke of Tulips is loyal to the country and is willing to bear 20,000 people. At the same time, when you apply to the military, you will say that the province of Desa has insufficient military power, and it is located in the frontier. There is a shortage of troops, so they are asked to order the army of 20,000 people to be stationed in our province of Desa. Chengbianbiandi officer! Adults, you think, as long as the army of 20,000 people stays on our site. They provide food, clothing and accommodation, all provided by us, we will be pinched to death! Time , It will slowly be controlled by us. Although it is still an official army in name, it has actually become your private army. "

Du Wei's eyes grew deeper.

Darnier finally glanced at Longbottom again and smiled bitterly: "One more detail ... I'm afraid General Longbottom needs to be sacrificed."

"What ..."

"I know that you hate the Imperial Commander General. You once vowed never to return to the military. But ... in order to help the Duke to complete the Northwest cause. This time you have to break the vow." Ddani He turned to look at Du Wei: "Master Duke, you just have to ask you to bear all the military expenses, and at the same time you write a document in your name, the letter only says that you are loyal to the country, and for the empire, you will sacrifice yourself. Admiral, try to keep General Longbatten as the commander of this cavalry! The Imperial Army has long been burned by military matters. It will definitely promise your request! By then ... the two thousand people are here, the soldiers took it It is we who poke to the local army ... Plus, General Longbottom was originally the old chief of this army. With his authority. He will soon be able to regain control of 20,000 people! Even if their banner is still thorn flowers ... but Heart, it's already tulip field! "

Last. Dada Neil concluded: "In fact, if we do this, the Imperial Army and the Regent must know our intentions. However, the Regent ’s great respect for the Duke's Lord has made it clear this time. You are fully responsible. The burden of these 20,000 people, the emperor has long wanted to get rid of it! Therefore, in such a disguised collection, the imperial military command does not lose face, but it can also throw a big baggage, and most will agree! And the grassland For people, we have to withdraw troops as a condition and let them compromise. It is much easier to let them bleed on the negotiated contract, and Lord Duke, you have completed the negotiation and will not fall into the imperial power. I got an iron rider of 20,000 people! Three birds with one stone! Why not? "

Speaking out incessantly, everyone around you is stunned! Even Philip stared at Dardanelle in surprise.

This Dada Neil is silent on weekdays. Although he is very responsible as a city defender, it is just a steady job. But he did not expect that he still had such a talent, could he come up with such a scheme?

Due to Du Wei, hey hesitated twice, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, you might as well try it. Philip, you can help me draft a letter to the Emperor ... Well, everyone else is gone, Da Daniel stays, let's talk about this matter again. "

When the people were sent away, only Dewey and Dardanelle were left in the room. Du Wei sighed. Staring at Dardanelle, he whispered, "My friend ... I'm afraid you didn't figure this out!"

He smiled and said, "Master Duke said yes, I don't have such a good mind. Well ... this strategy is what the Marquise came up with. She knows that you are I was troubled by the negotiation, so I called out last night and told me such a way. Let me find a chance to report it to you. She said that she is an outsider and a woman after all. It is not good to speak directly about such national affairs. . "

Du Wei seemed a little absent-minded, and said nothing.

Dadaniel suddenly thought of something, and his face changed slightly, and he knelt down on one knee: "Master. Do you blame me again? I have been loyal to you, just to convey these words, not just yet I have nostalgia for the Liszt family, and I just want to convey that the strategy of the marquise is very subtle. Since Dada Neil has been loyal to you, I will never be half-hearted! "

Du Wei quickly lifted up the old friend with both hands and sincerely said, "My friend, you have misunderstood. The two of us are fatal friendships. How can I have a slight suspicion of you? Me Just now I was absent-minded, just to express the marquise's cleverness. Such a strategy is really powerful. Although she is a woman, it is very admirable! With a girl, she can manage the Liszt family to the present scale, the marquise ... … Don't dare look down! "

Suddenly, Du Wei looked at Dada Neil: "Well, let's go, the Marquise gave me such a good idea. I can't say nothing. You help me to thank her and ask Is there anything she can do to help. Hmm ... in the future, our family's business in the north and the Liszt family's business will always be 10% higher in price.

Dada Neil smiled slightly: "I do think that most of the Marquise doesn't care much about the money. The Liszt family is already rich ... well, lord, if you want to express your gratitude, you may meet the Marquise in person. . "

"Hey!" Du Weigan laughed twice: "Dada Neil. Do you want to match up with our marriage?"

Dadanier said positively: "My lord. I do think so, but it is not because I am from the Liszt family. So I have no selfishness. I just think that you are a talented person, rare in the world. . And the marquise is unparalleled ... well, although there is a gap in age. But I think the marquise is sincere to you and really helps you. If the two are married, it will be of great benefit to your cause. "

Du Wei patted D'Adanil on the shoulder: "I understand, you don't have selfishness, I know. Hmm ... but, my marriage ... I don't want to settle so early. And ... I don't like political marriage as such. In fact ... apart from marriage, I would like to cooperate fully with the Liszt family. If we want to form an alliance, must there be only one channel for marriage? "

Dada Neil shook his head, apparently disagreeing with Du Wei's point of view, and said honestly: "Although this is your personal matter. But as a duke, you have a different identity. Marriage is naturally involved! IMHO! If you are just a civilian, who you want to marry is naturally your personal business. But as a lord, your marriage is no longer a private business. Now it seems that your marriage with the Liszt family is really The best option ... Actually, don't hide your words. My colleagues, although not talking. Most of them are in favor of you and the Liszt family marriage. I have talked with Mr. Philip, even he faintly Somewhat agreeable. But everyone knows your thoughts on Master Vivienne ... I'm sorry to say it. And ... Lord, to be honest, you have grown up! In the empire, all are noble Yes, most of them get married early, and most of them will get married after the maturity ceremony. Even if you are not married, you will make a marriage contract first. However, you are a prominent person, but you have n’t even got a marriage contract so far.

Du Weiming.

Dada Neil had a sincere expression in front of him.

It's just that Du Wei knows his own things.

He's not an innocent boy. For women, he didn't mind coming to the one-night stand several times. Not to be conservative. Mrs. Liszt was beautiful and charming, and of course he was heart-warming. It's just that most of them are only interested in the beauty of the marquise, purely physical desires. If everyone is ambiguous, they can be accepted as lover.

Get married? Then forget it.

The only thing that made him want to stay with him for a lifetime, was that little stupid stupid.

As for last night, I almost put that Ellu prisoner on the spot, but let go when it was crucial. It is also out of an inexplicable affection for Vivienne, a niece.

More importantly, although Du Wei is not pure innocent, he is not the kind of animal that cannot control his lower body.

The female assassin last night was nothing toppled. But the question is ... how can the subsequent trouble be solved after being overthrown?

After all, the other person is a Daxue Mountain native, or a disciple of the Witch King. I have enough troubles now. If I have "defiled" a Witch King's disciple, the troubles caused by that time will not be small!

Damn ... If others pass through, they can be as beautiful as clouds, but Lao Tzu is playing pure innocence. Speaking of which, it is really ridiculous.

Mrs. Liszt ... Mrs. Liszt ...

Du Wei thought and thought, and suddenly smiled: "It's really not sincere for you to convey my gratitude. Let's go to see the Marquise and say that I want to invite her to dinner tonight."
