Lu Ziming's encounter with fat cat can't change his decision. The difference is that knowing fat cat's prediction has strengthened his determination to negotiate with the big four.
When Lu Ziming appeared in front of the big four under the leadership of the mountain god, the big four showed an indescribable and complex look on their faces. This was an absolutely private meeting. Whether it was Lu Ziming or the big four, at least it seemed that they had great sincerity on the surface. No one else attended, Even the mountain god who knew Lu Ziming's purpose was excluded.
Lu Ziming didn't have the slightest polite words about the four giants who have experienced the official sea for a long time. He made it clear: "I'm afraid you have already understood the purpose of my coming this time, that is to say, I don't need to spend more words. I believe you won't want to hear any nonsense...".
"Judging from the current situation, jiutun Li Juan may be bewitched by the Military Commission and ready to launch an attack on Xincheng. From the comparison of forces between the two sides, it is not as simple as imagined that jiutun wants to occupy Xincheng. It is precisely seeing this that the Military Commission will appear in the plain base. If I am not wrong, the Military Commission will encourage the plain base to launch a sneak attack on Xincheng. No Now we all know that this is not a wise move. I hope you can see this clearly and will not do anything worthless? "
Benevolence, righteousness and morality are illusory nonsense for the big four. Only real interests can move the big four. It is precisely because of this that Lu Ziming did not risk appearing in front of the big four.
"Brother Lu is quick to talk. Now that we've made it clear, the four of us don't push and block any more. Make it clear that Li Juan hates us because of the Dingxian base. Now if brother Lu wants to cooperate with us, he must also consider the relationship between us and Li Juan. I think we want to talk to brother Lu about some points because of the current situation About...? "
"First question, are brothers Lu ready to cooperate with us for a long time, or just to get through the current difficulties?"
"Of course, I'm ready to cooperate with you for a long time. If I just want to get through the current dilemma, I naturally won't discuss it with you in person. Moreover, I'm confident that there are many ways to get through the current dilemma, but it's hard to say what will happen later, so I hope we can put aside our previous prejudices and unite...!"
Luo Gangliang showed a satisfied smile on his face, looked at the three people next to him and said, "second question, how do brothers Lu look at the current situation? Why do you think we must cooperate with you?"
Lu Ziming did not expect Luo Gangliang to raise such a sharp question with his mouth. He was not polite to himself. Similarly, this is an unavoidable problem for both sides: "I heard that the CMC observation mission has arrived at the plain base and is discussing with you about cooperation in attacking Xincheng. I don't know whether the CMC observation mission knows your existence or how you discussed the specific plan with the CMC observation mission, but you know one thing better than me. The purpose of the CMC observation mission is to provoke disputes between us and root in the plain base This is not good, but to make wedding clothes for others. Isn't this the premise and basis of our cooperation? "
"It seems that brother Lu hasn't figured out one thing yet." Luo Gangliang didn't save face for Lu Ziming, and immediately sneered and retorted: "Any contradiction between you and the CMC is beneficial and harmless to us. Don't be alarmist. At least the CMC won't directly target us, and you Lu Ziming has become the primary target of the CMC. It's not good for us to have a relationship with you. If you cooperate with you, I'm afraid it will provoke the CMC's retaliation. Do you think we will do this at this time Do you like it? "
All right! Lu Ziming underestimated Luo Gangliang's shamelessness and didn't give Lu Ziming any room to turn around. He pointed out Lu Ziming's fatal weakness and left himself clean as if nothing had happened.
"Master Luo is right. This is really the dilemma Xincheng and I have to face. Do you really want to stand by?"
Wei Zipeng answered: "Brother Lu, don't be depressed. We didn't say we wouldn't help you. There are still many places we can discuss. For example, we still have room to speak in front of the Military Commission, and we don't want to see Li Juan really send troops to attack Xincheng. Judging from the current situation, it's impossible for either party to attack the other. It's better for brother Lu to say the conditions of cooperation and let's discuss it ……?”
Lu Ziming was in a stable mood. It was not easy to negotiate with these old foxes. He was led by the nose accidentally: "I hope you can understand that the presence of the Military Commission in Jindi is an unstable chess piece. I still don't know why the Military Commission observation team wants to help Li Juan attack us, and I don't know what the Military Commission's purpose is. It's hard to imagine the consequences of this incident...".
"As for the conditions for cooperation between me and the four, Zhang Yechang also mentioned in his letter that equal cooperation, mutual support, military exchanges, personnel exchanges and material exchanges can solve the current difficulties of the plain base. The plain base has a population advantage, but Xincheng now has a good population. You can't fail to see this. The cooperation potential between the two sides is huge, which is just what makes us happy How do you like it? "
One of the big four is led by Luo Gangliang, and this time is no exception: "brother Lu's words are bad. To tell you the truth, we are not surprised by what you have provided. The only purpose of coming to you for negotiation this time is Xincheng. We don't want the whole Xincheng, but we can also give the population to brother Lu. As long as brother Lu makes a commitment to hand over the defense of the whole Xincheng to us, what do you think?"
Lu Ziming almost jumped up, shameless, too shameless! It was an opportunity to blackmail and a naked threat.
If the defense of Xincheng is handed over to the big four, the implication is to let Lu Ziming give up military control. It sounds better to focus on administrative management. In fact, he handed over his neck to the big four. The big four become the actual controller of Xincheng. As long as Lu Ziming is not stupid or crazy, it is impossible to agree to such conditions.
"It's impossible...?"
"Brother Lu, don't be in a hurry to make a statement..." Luo Gangliang interrupted Lu Ziming with a patient expression of persuasion: "I heard that brother Lu is not a native. I didn't think about developing in Jindi before. Of course, it was before occupying Xincheng. I just want to ask brother Lu, are brother Lu really ready to stay in Jindi for development and don't want to return to his hometown in the future?"
"Jin land is not the foundation of the Lu brothers, and there is no need to stay here to wade in the muddy water. Moreover, the Lu brothers have Chiyou space in their hands. Where is it different? Why should we develop in a foreign land? We can solemnly promise here. When the Lu brothers leave, as long as we are willing to follow the Lu brothers, we will never stop them. What do you think?"
