Zhu Nao

In the afternoon of the next day, Jin Min and You Qian came outside the gate of the official residence again.

Jin Min didn't make a fuss, and straight to the point: "Brother You, did you send two people to Fuji Teahouse yesterday to discuss the alliance with our soldiers?"

You Gan said in his heart: I sent it?Can I move?I did not persuade it! ——Like Jin Min, he was worried about Jun Nao's appearance in person.But what can he do about the decision made by Zhu Nao?

He could only answer: "Yes."

Jin Min frowned.So the person Xie Wuji met yesterday was really not a liar?I really don't understand what the hell the Shu people are doing.

Now that he knew it was true, he said according to Xie Wuji's intention: "The alliance can be discussed, but we have one condition."

You Gan hurriedly asked: "What conditions?"

Jin Min said: "We ask Jia Yizhen to serve in our army."

You Gan: "........."

He knew who was using the pseudonym Jia Yizhen, but he never expected that the other party would be so bold as to make such a request!Let Jun Nao go to Xie Jiajun?What are you thinking?Why not let the Jade Emperor go to worship Buddha!

He slandered wildly in his heart, but he didn't dismiss Jin Min bluntly, he only said: "Then we also have one condition."

Jin Min asked curiously, "What?"

You Gan said: "Let Wu Hui from your army come to the Chengdu Mansion." - Zhu Nao told him before he came out, no matter what the other party mentioned about "Jia Yizhen", let him use the same thing to "Wu Hui" "Push it back on your body.

Jin Min was stunned for a moment: "Wu Hui?"

It took him a while to realize who Wu Hui was referring to, and his expression changed drastically.Let Xie Wuji enter Sichuan? ?What kind of Spring and Autumn dream are these Shu people doing!

He flatly refused: "This is absolutely impossible!!"

Not to be outdone, You Gan said, "Then there is no need to talk about Jia Yizhen."

The two sides stared at each other, swords drawn.At the time of the stalemate, the officials in the government came out.

"Deputy Jin, Mr. You," said the official, "please follow me in, the officials are already waiting inside."

Jin Min and You Gan turned their faces away, rolling their eyes.

Official: "?"

The two sorted out their expressions, and went into the government together side by side.

……

In the evening, Jin Min returned to his residence and immediately went to see Xie Wuji.

He reported: "I mentioned the general's conditions to You Gan, but he..." He looked embarrassed and couldn't say anything.

Xie Wuji knew from his expression that the matter was not going well, and asked: "Did they say that if they let Jia Yizhen come over, they want Wu Hui to come over?"

Jin Min didn't expect Xie Wuji to guess it, and he couldn't help being taken aback: "Yes... yes."

Xie Wuji shook his head.It seems that "Jia Yizhen" is determined to use this set to the end.

Jin Min asked: "General, shall we still form an alliance with them?"

Xie Wuji got up and walked to the map.Where they are now, to the west is Xiliang after Longshan Mountain, to the southwest is Tianfu Shu County after passing Bashan Mountain, to the southeast is Wuyue Jiangnan, and to the east is the vast Central Plains.The world is so big, the smoke of wolves is everywhere, all the heroes come out together, and the people are in dire straits.When will the world be pacified?

Seeing that Xie Wuji hadn't made a sound for a long time, Jin Min couldn't help asking: "General?"

After he urged, Xie Wuji seemed to wake up, and finally turned around with calm eyes.

"Knot." Xie Wuji paused, "Why not?"

Jin Min was stunned.

=====

After that Xiang Yougan went back, he also found Zhu Nao to report today's conversation.

He talked about Jin Min's condition for Zhu Nao to serve in Xie's army, Zhu Nao was slightly startled, and immediately rolled his eyes: "Oh?"

You Gan sneered and said, "What are they thinking? They dare to let the boss go, do they know who the boss is? If they know, don't scare them to death!"

Zhu Nao said nothing, just nodded with great interest, as if he was very interested in this proposal.

You Gan: "..."

The smile on You Gan's face slowly froze.

After a while, You Gan was covered in cold sweat, and said in horror: "Master! Master, you must not take this risk! The officials of the Chengdu government are still waiting for the master to go back and preside over the overall situation!!"

Seeing that his face turned pale with fright, Zhu Nao laughed and said, "I didn't say I was going."

"No, don't go? That's good, that's good..." You Gan wiped off his cold sweat, and held down his throbbing heart.He also blamed Zhu Nao for being so unreasonable in his daily activities, he was really afraid that Zhu Nao would really agree to come down and go to Xie Wuji Army.In that case, even if he has ten heads, he still can't take this responsibility, and he doesn't know how to explain it to the people in Chengdu.

After confirming that Zhu Nao didn't intend to make another surprise this time, You Gan put his heart back into his stomach, and said again: "Boss, but Deputy Captain Jin said that if 'Jia Yizhen' is not allowed to pass, he will not discuss the alliance with us." thing. What can I do?"

Junao didn't rush: "It's just to scare us. They will form an alliance with us."

You Gan also knew that it was very common to use some means to frighten the other party during negotiations, but seeing Jin Min's attitude today, he didn't look like he was ready.How did Junao determine it?

But Zhu Nao said with a smile: "Can they find a better backer than us?"

You Gan: "..." So... that's right.

Now that Zhu Nao is confident, You Gan naturally doesn't say anything.He asked again: "Boss, the reason why we formed an alliance with them this time is really just to let people learn their methods of running the army and fighting? Is this business going to be a little bit of a loss?" You must know that they provide the army with The salary is not a small amount.Just to learn their skills, they secretly recruit people, or directly poach the opponent's corner, there are actually many ways.

Zhu Nao said, "Is it a loss?"

You Gan licked his lips: "It's worth tens of thousands of taels a year. The tuition fee is really expensive."

Zhu Nao said: "Is it expensive to buy Xie Wuji with these tens of thousands of taels?"

Yugan widened his eyes in disbelief.Tens of thousands of taels are spent every year, and what they bought was Xie Wuji?That's certainly not expensive at all! !Not to mention the army led by Xie Wuji, but only to Xie Wuji, this kind of general is hard to find!

You must know that a bad general may lose the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and countless food and grass in a single battle, while the benefits of a good general cannot be measured by money.Not to mention tens of thousands of taels of silver, but hundreds of thousands of taels, or millions of taels. As long as you can afford it, you will definitely not lose money on this deal.

But the question is, will Xie Wuji be bought by these salaries?

You Gan quickly asked: "What means does the boss plan to use in this exchange of personnel?"

Zhu Nao shook his head, and threw out five words unhurriedly: "Boil the frog in warm water."

You Gan was taken aback.Boiling frogs in warm water?What Zhu Nao meant was to establish a good relationship with Xie Wuji first, and increase the communication between the two parties. After a long time, the two families will gradually become one family?

Thinking about it carefully, this possibility is not impossible.Once the two sides form an alliance, exchange hands with each other, and develop together in Guanzhong, over time, the forces of the two sides will become entangled and mixed together, and it will gradually become difficult to separate them.

Moreover, Xie Wuji sent people to them to learn and practice because of the lack of talents, so he hoped that they would help cultivate them.These people Xie Wuji will definitely use in the future, if not, there is no need to send them to learn.Therefore, after returning from their studies, these people can at least become the backbone of Xie Wuji, not to mention being able to take the lead alone.But people are not plants, how can they be ruthless?With this learning experience, this group of people must have feelings for the Shu people, and they will inevitably turn to the Shu people when they make plans in the future.Of course, the people they sent to Xie Jiajun must be the same.

And those soldiers who did not come to study with the Shu people, who have served the Shu people for several years, should have some respect and friendship for the Shu people, right?If the two armies become enemies in the future, they must be a little reluctant in their hearts, right?Shouldn't it be a little boring?

——From these two points alone, the tens of thousands of taels of food and salaries each year are actually well spent.

But Dajun is easy to buy, and Xie Wuji is actually so easy to buy?Even if the two armies can be as close as family members, can Xie Wuji and Zhu Nao live in harmony?No matter how you look at it, Xie Wuji is also an ambitious person!

You Gan couldn't help but said: "Master, would Xie Wuji be willing to submit to his master and obey his orders?"

Zhu Nao glanced at him and said, "Do you want to be emperor?"

You Gan was taken aback, his tongue almost tied up: "What, what?"

Zhu Nao looked at him, really waiting for his answer.

You Gan was shocked and laughed at the same time: "How could I? What the hell... Oh, my boss, don't make fun of me!"

Zhu Nao smiled and said, "Don't you have any ambition?"

Yugan didn't know what to say.To be emperor?If you think about it jokingly, it's not that you haven't thought about it at all.Just having three thousand beauties in the harem is enough to make people envious.But that's just a dream.If you think about it seriously, of course it's impossible!Right now, all he thinks about is how to make the business bigger, how to earn more money, how to accomplish the current thing... Who would go crazy thinking about doing the emperor's business?

Zhu Nao said, "If you don't think about it today, you may not think about it tomorrow."

Yugan was almost confused.Does Zhu Nao suspect him?But this suspicion is too... inexplicable.

But Zhu Nao said again: "If you think about it today, you may not think about it tomorrow."

Yugan was taken aback again.He kind of understood Junao's meaning.

People's ambitions, or ideas, change with time and place.When he was young, he never thought that he would be in business, and two years ago, he would not have thought that he could represent Chengdu Mansion in Guanzhong to do business.Smart people should do it if they can, and abandon it if they can't.If you can't do it, you still have to do it... When you are reduced to a miserable situation, you can't blame others.

For a moment You Gan thought, what if Xie Wuji is stronger than Zhu Nao?Will Zhu Nao be willing to honor Xie Wuji?Maybe, too.Of course, it is not very likely that Xie Wuji can beat Zhu Nao.

You Gan quickly figured it out, smiled and said: "I understand. If you have any orders from the boss, just say it."

……

In the next few days, You Gan finally negotiated with Fei Cen and other officials about the cooperation between the Shu merchants and the Jingzhao Mansion, and then began their alliance negotiations with Xie Jiajun.

The matter has come to this point, there is no need for Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji to hide anymore, the two of them showed up one after another and presided over the alliance.

Both the Shu merchant and Xie Jiajun knew that a more powerful official had suddenly appeared from the other party, but they couldn't guess the other party's true identity.So at the end of the daily discussion, it became a pleasure for each to speculate and guess the identity of the other party when they were bored.

As the weather has begun to thaw and warm up, both Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji have to go back to preside over the overall situation.And both sides also have the sincerity of forming an alliance, and the negotiation went very smoothly. In just a few days, the two sides discussed how many people they would send each other, and what parts and songs they would send to each other.

Because neither side brought many people out, the dispatchers had to go back and choose later, but they each selected a few from the messenger team and exchanged on the spot.

For Zhu Nao, three of the teenagers brought out by Cheng Jingzhe were selected to follow each other back.Among them are Wang Sha and Miao Zhong who just escaped from Yanzhou a few days ago.

Xie Wuji also picked two smart soldiers to stay in the city with You Gan, and learn how he dealt with various forces in the city.

After the conditions were negotiated, a special person copied the two covenant oaths and handed them over to Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji for inspection.

"If the confirmation is correct, please sign on it, and this agreement is done."

After reading it, Zhu Nao confirmed that it was correct, so he didn't pick up the pen, but dipped his hands in the red mud, preparing to press his fingerprints on the covenant.

But before he could press it down, Xie Wuji suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

Everyone looked at Xie Wuji one after another.

Xie Wuji looked at Zhu Nao fixedly, and said calmly, "I have one more condition."

Zhu Nao said, "Please tell me."

Xie Wuji said: "I will send another person to follow you."

Zhu Nao raised his eyebrows: "Are you going to learn from me?"

Xie Wuji nodded.

You Gan couldn't help baring his teeth beside him.Is it worthwhile to learn from Zhu Nao?Let's not talk about those confidential and important tasks, just like Zhu Nao, can ordinary people learn it?

Zhu Nao didn't reply immediately, but touched his chin with great interest, and said, "Brother Wu knows that I am very fair. Then I will also send someone to follow you, how about it?"

Now it was the turn of Jin Min and the others to take a breather.

Xie Wuji pondered for a moment, then said: "Sure."

Before Jin Min and the others recovered from the shock, Zhu Nao also said briskly, "Okay, then it's settled."

Except for Xie Wuji and Zhu Nao, everyone present was petrified.

Zhu Nao said: "Does this article need to be included in the covenant?" Both of them are expressing their identities, and it is difficult to write this into the covenant.

Xie Wuji said: "As you wish."

Zhu Nao smiled, and directly pressed his fingerprints on the written covenant.

The covenant was spread, and all the participants signed their names and left their seals, and Xie Wuji and Zhu Nao only left their fingerprints.

After signing, both parties will receive the document and keep it as a certificate.

This is where the matter of the alliance comes to an end.But Zhu Nao suddenly said, "Jing Zhe."

Jing Zhe, who was guarding behind Zhu Nao, hurriedly responded.

Zhu Nao said, "You follow them."

Jing Zhe was stunned.You Gan and the others were all startled.

Xie Wuji was slightly taken aback, and immediately understood: "You want him to follow me?"

Zhu Nao smiled and said, "Your Excellency, please give me some advice."

Xie Wuji already agreed, and he didn't try to shirk, he just looked Cheng Jingzhe up and down, chin slightly, and agreed: "Our people will be sent to Chengdu Mansion later."

Zhu Nao said: "Okay, then I will wait for you."

The two of them had already settled the matter, but Cheng Jingzhe hadn't recovered from the shock because he was not prepared at all.He looked at Zhu Nao, then at Xie Wuji, his expression changed several times, he hesitated to speak.After a while, he gritted his teeth and his eyes finally became firm.

"Yes, son."

Zhu Nao got up and raised his hand, Cheng Jingzhe lowered his head meekly, letting him stroke his hair.

Zhu Nao said, "Go."

Cheng Jingzhe turned around and walked behind Xie Wuji.

When everyone came out of the house, the big event had been decided, so it was time to go back.

Xie Wuji looked at Zhu Nao and said, "There will be a time later."

Zhu Nao smiled lightly and said calmly, "It won't be long."

Xie Wuji glanced at him vigorously, as if wanting to wear his smile, and finally said nothing, turned around and led the crowd away in strides.
