Nightwatcher Chapter 41: Negotiation skills
Coming so fast.........Xu Qi'an frowned. He hadn't thoroughly convinced the two leaders Luan Yu and Ba Ji. He planned to explain and persuade them before letting them help together. Lobbying the Corpse Gu Department, and oppressing people with the general trend of Gu clan.
I didn't expect You Shi to come so quickly, he directly manipulated the bird corpse to come.
The bird corpse hovered in the sky for a while, and saw that the situation below was stable. Several leaders of the same family were safe and sound. It glided and landed, but did not come close, looking at Granny Tiangu and others from a distance.
"You are captured."
The bird corpse shook the air, uttered words, and had a hoarse and low voice. It was you corpse.
After the Zigu lodged on the walking corpse was killed, he immediately manipulated the bird corpse to investigate the situation.
The situation before him gave him a sigh of relief.
The biggest advantage of the corpse gu master is that it is always safe. As long as the hiding place is not found, no matter how many puppets die, the body can be safe and sound.
Xu Qi'an looked at him, and the giant bird manipulated by You Shi looked back calmly.
"We just reached a settlement..." Xu Qi'an said.
You Shi ignored him, and his empty eyes turned to Granny Tian Gu. The latter told You Shi exactly what he had said to the leaders.
The giant bird turned its head and looked at Luan Yu and others. After getting the affirmative answer, it was silent for a while:
"I have no objection. You want to ally with Dafeng, that is your business.
"However, the alliance between the Corpse Gu Department and Yunzhou is a matter for the Corpse Gu Department. We do not interfere with each other."
Luan Yu and the others frowned, the Gu clan has always attacked and retreated together, how can there be any reason for the soldiers to meet each other on the battlefield.
Xu Qi'an pointed at the walking dead puppet next to him, and said:
"I don't need you to send troops, as long as you don't form an alliance with Yunzhou, this puppet will return it to you. A puppet with a third-tier body, right?"
You corpse didn't even look at the puppet, and sneered:
"You are too small to look at my Corpse Gu Department. There is another puppet of the same level in my Department."
He is a third-rank Poison Gu Master, limited to his realm, and can only manipulate one walking corpse of the same realm at a time, plus several fourth-ranks.
If this is not the case, the one who came just now is not the "Six-Star God", but another third-class.
The Corpse Gu Department, which is famous for raising corpses and refining corpses, has a thousand-year history, how can there be only one transcendental walking corpse. The third-rank walking corpse left in the clan is not a martial artist, but a corpse left by a strong man of the Yao clan.
Sure enough, with the hatred of the Corpse Gu Department towards Dafeng, it was too difficult for him to shed light on his previous complaints.........Xu Qi'an had been mentally prepared for this.
Long Tu frowned and said solemnly:
"Wei Yuan is dead. Your feud of killing your father has long been over. You Shi, don't let the Corpse Gu Department and the Gu Clan separate your virtues because of your obsession alone."
"Killing my father's hatred, is it to say that you forget and forget it, and that you end it." You Shi coldly snorted, and his empty and silent eyes swept over the crowd:
"You, Luanyu, have forgotten to be captured by the Dafeng army and used to be the clansmen of the Jiaofang Division? Baji, all five thousand clansmen have been killed, and your Poison Gu clan is still the number of people. The least tribe.
"Do you want to form an alliance with Dafeng. Ever wondered if the clansmen would agree to it. There is also the Dark Gu Heart Gu Heaven Gu, and many of your clansmen died in the Battle of Shanhaiguan. Who is it with the will of the Gu clan? Confrontation?"
Luan Yu and Ba Ji suddenly looked ashamed, one of them greeted Xu Qian's body, the other greeted the best poisonous weeds and poisonous fruits, and they were struggling and hesitating in their hearts.
You Shi's words pierced them like a knife, making them worry and resist.
Compared with the major forces, the Gu population is simply pitiful, but the Gu people are all fighters, and every member of the clan practices Gu art, and the fighting power of the race is outrageous.
This means that the chiefs cannot be like the emperors of the Central Plains in killing and plundering the lives of ordinary people.
The clansmen are not lambs. If the leader rebels, the clansmen will seek the help of several other tribes to overthrow the leader. Or simply escape from southern Xinjiang and live elsewhere.
"The sealing of the Gu God is also the top priority of the Gu clan, surpassing personal grievances."
Heart Gu Master Chun Yan said lightly.
One sentence interrupted You Shi's aggressive aura and silenced him for a while.
This girl is wise and clever, and she deserves to be a Heart Gu Master...Xu Qi'an glanced at her and nodded slightly.
You Shi paused and said:
"Well, leaving aside personal grievances, just talk about sealing the Gu God, and forming an alliance with Yunzhou can also seal Gu God. And everyone knows the situation of Dafeng, so why put the bet on the obviously weaker side? .
"Furthermore, if you choose to form an alliance with Yunzhou, the people of the tribe will only cheer, they will only be enthusiastic, they will only sharpen their swords. And to make an alliance with Dafeng will face the situation of renunciation and separation from the tribe."
Except for the Dragon Tu of the Ligu Department, several leaders frowned and said nothing.
Their shakes and hesitations were almost written on their faces. You Shi's remarks not only uttered the Gu clan's hatred of Dafeng, but also pointed out the unfavorable situation that might be faced by helping Dafeng.
To be honest, even if you put aside the hatred and simply weigh the pros and cons, if Dafeng's situation is really as bad as Ge Wenxuan said, Yunzhou Jun, who has the help of Buddhism, is more likely to overthrow the Dafeng court.
If you add your own dedication to help, it is almost certain.
Long Tu saw this and had to remind them:
"Don't forget your situation, if Xu Qi'an hadn't left your hands, you would have died long ago."
You Shi glanced at Xu Qi'an and sneered:
"Oh, I forgot, you are now his captives, you can only accept but not refuse."
Several leaders glanced at Xu Qi'an and frowned.
Li Gu's brain is really not enough.........Xu Qi'an sighed with emotion.
He was merciful and willing to sit down and talk to the leaders, not really repaying their grievances with virtue, but hoping that they would dispel the alliance with the Yunzhou rebels, so this "graciousness" is a stepping stone.
It's a bargaining chip for the Gu clan leaders to be willing to sit down and negotiate.
In the final outcome, he will definitely be required to bring out the corresponding benefits. The Gu Clan promised not to form an alliance with Yunzhou or send troops to assist Dafeng. Not because Xu Qi'an didn't kill them.
If it is extortion, you can use the reason "Your life is in my hands".
If you want the Gu clan to form an alliance with Dafeng sincerely, you can't mention this reason. This kind of threat only applies to just leave with one vote. Use it on allies, maybe someone turns their heads to form an alliance with Yunzhou secretly, stabbing you from behind.
You Shi glanced at Longtu, his empty and silent eyes had no emotion, but he himself must be full of disdain and sneer.
A simple guide can make a stupid Li Gu part hooked.
Xu Qi'an's mind turned so fast, and he thought about many possibilities in an instant, including stifling the trouble in the cradle.
In their current state, I can’t kill the Dark Gu, it’s too much to escape, and the three leaders of Heart Gu, Poison Gu, Love Gu can still be killed, but in this way, the Li Gu Ministry will continue to die with me. .... Correspondingly, I had to kill the precepts, so as to completely push the Gu clan to the opposite side. In addition, Granny Tiangu never interrupted, which was too calm.
She trusts my character so much? She's not afraid to drive me to a dead end, really kill it? We just met and she didn't understand me, but she was too calm.
Unless she has a hole card, so I'm not afraid of turning the table up.
Xu Qi'an squinted his eyes and suddenly smiled:
"You may not know that, apart from the Jialuoshu Bodhisattva and a small number of monks and soldiers, the Buddhism is unable to intervene in the original war, because the southern demon is about to rise. If you don’t believe it, the hundred thousand mountains are also in southern Xinjiang, not far from the Gu clan territory , You can send someone to investigate."
Several leaders were slightly stunned, and You Shi violently twisted the bird's head, staring at him with dead and empty eyes.
Chun Yan nodded gently: "We will send someone to find out about this matter."
If this matter is true, then the situation in the Central Plains is indeed not as firm as Ge Wenxuan said. Even if they do not consider forming an alliance with Dafeng, they have to reassess the risk of attacking Dafeng.
Xu Qi'an continued:
"Skinny camels are bigger than horses. Although Yunzhou has strong soldiers and strong horses, Dafeng is indeed suffering internal and external troubles. But this does not mean that Dafeng will lose. Otherwise, why Yunzhou sent people to lobby the Gu clan."
Seeing that the leaders are thinking, Xu Qi'an strikes while the iron is hot:
"Under such circumstances, the entry of the Gu clan is the key to turning the tide of the battle. The Gu clan and Dafeng are allied, and victory can be expected. Therefore, there is no weakness as the leader of the corpse said.
"If Yunzhou can give it, I can also give it. As for the people of the Gu Clan, the promise I just made is still valid. I will give a certain amount of top-quality poisonous weeds to the Poisonous Gu Ministry. At the request of Chief Luanyu, I I will try my best to satisfy."
You Shi sneered:
"That's it? With these things, I want to quell the Gu clan's hatred of Dafeng. I'm crazy about dreams."
Baji and Luanyu were moved, but they chose to remain silent, because the facts are what You Shi said, the best poisonous weeds and poisonous fruits are not just needed. For Baji, who doesn’t have much hatred for Dafeng, they must be pleased. Yes.
But for the people of the Poison Gu tribe, this is not enough to quell the hatred of killing half of the people.
As for Luanyu, it's only selfish desire. She has a best-of-breed man to accompany her to practise Quotes Gu, what is the matter with the sisters in the Guan clan? Even if Xu Qi'an manages thousands of chickens every day, so that the sisters can have food and clothing, what is it about men in the clan?
"Never mind, I understand several difficulties."
Xu Qi'antu saw it poorly, and he sighed:
"I will not insist on sending troops. I only hope that a few leaders can choose to be neutral and give up the alliance with Yunzhou. The things I promised just now remain the same."
Luan Yu and Ba Ji were stunned. They looked at each other and almost said in unison:
"Good!"
If you just choose to be neutral and don't send troops to Dafeng, it will be easy to handle. They can use reasons such as the unclear situation and the unwillingness of the tribe to die to appease the tribe.
This not only occupies the righteousness, but also brings rich reports to the people (Poison Gu).
Xu Qi'an laughed. From the beginning, he didn't expect Gu Clan to send troops to assist Dafeng. The conflict between the two parties was so deep that Grandma Tiangu came to remind him in person.
As Yunzhou and Dafeng can both meet the needs of the Gu clan, it is too low and too low to let the Gu clan relieve the previous suspicion.
The real plan made by Xu Qi'an is to convince them first, and then find a way to make the Gu clan give up forming an alliance with Yunzhou.
The so-called troop assistance is nothing more than negotiation skills. The price is first raised to a desperate rate, and then the price falls precipitously, creating a sense of mental gap that "we earn money" and "this is acceptable".
It's not over yet, letting Gu clan cancel the alliance is only the first step.
Next, Xu Qi'an still wants them to send troops, but he will not let the seven members of the Gu Clan come out. He will use food as a bargaining chip to invite the masters of the Power Gu Clan to join the battle.
Using various materials and commodities as a bargaining chip, two tribes, Dark Gu and Heart Gu, are invited to fight. These two have a lighter hatred of Dafeng. They promised a heavy promise. It is not difficult to hire them to fight.
South Xinjiang does not lack food, but it lacks porcelain, tea, silk, books and other materials.
As long as you give enough, they will always agree.
However, Xu Qi'an still underestimated You Shi's obsession with killing his father.
To successfully complete the plan, You Shi has become an insurmountable obstacle.
If you can't appease him, with the custom of the Gu clan, it will be difficult for the other six books to stand idly by.
You Shi sneered and said:
"How you decide is your business. My Corpse Gu Department decided to form an alliance with Yunzhou. No one can stop it. I want to see how many people from the Love Gu family and Poison Gu family will follow. Me."
Boji and Luanyu's faces changed.
The bird's head turned and looked at Xu Qi'an: "You might as well try to kill me, kill me, and the problem will be solved."
"It's up to you how you decide, the leader."
Xu Qi'an didn't panic at all, and said lightly:
"However, I also have a gift for the Corpse Gu Department. Why don't I look at my bargaining chip first?"
If it's Heart Gu and Dark Gu, Xu Qi'an really can't think of anything to satisfy each other. Although the little mare is cute and attractive, it is a mare, and Chunyan is also a woman.
I don't like it.
Dark Gu's needs are hidden corners, this thing does not need to be given by others.
But the Corpse Gu Department, as the host of the Qi Jue Gu, Xu Qi'an is too aware of their needs~IndoMTL.com~ You Shi seems to have heard the big joke, his tone is mocking and disdainful:
"No matter what chips you have, I won't..."
At this moment, he saw Xu Qi'an pull out a small jade mirror and dump the mirror surface.
"Kang Dang!"
A coffin fell out, and the coffin board slid out in the shaking.
Lina held her nose and backed back again and again. She just sniffed the breath from the coffin, and she was a little dizzy.
Long Tu hurriedly covered Xu Lingyin's face with her big hand like a fan, and then threw her away.
In the coffin, a dilapidated ancient corpse was exposed to everyone's eyes.
It looks like a corpse that has been sleeping for endless years, and has suffered extremely severe damage. The sternum and ribs are mostly broken, and the head is also mutilated.
But You Shi's gaze fell on the ancient corpse and could no longer move away.
