Chapter 1113, Cunning Chu Tianba (2)

"Hahahahaha..."

As if he heard some very funny joke, as soon as Xiong Xiaoguang finished speaking, Chu Tianba suddenly burst into laughter.

Seeing Chu Tianba's unabashed madness, Xiong Xiaoguang couldn't help but ask: "Lord Chu Buddha, did I say something wrong somewhere?"

Ignoring Xiong Xiaoguang, after Chu Tianba smiled, he reached out and grabbed a wine flask from the stone table next to him, then immediately raised his head and started drinking.

After drinking a pot of fine wine, Chu Tianba wiped the corner of his mouth and laughed loudly: "Xiaoguang Xianniece, you don't really think that if I call you "nephew", the relationship between our two countries will be the same. Very good!

Back then, your uncle hit his head in front of my Daqing River defense line and was bleeding. Over the years, he has been thinking about cutting me into pieces. However, due to external pressure, your uncle never waited for the right opportunity.

I used to have great ambitions, but after being blocked here by your uncle for so many years, my ambitions have long been wiped away by women and alcohol.

I want to lead my demon-suppressing army to fight out. Your uncle's Big Stone Kingdom is the first natural chasm that stands in front of me, a natural chasm that I can never cross.

You said that I can't even surpass your uncle. Even if I have great ambitions, what's the use even if I don't want to be inferior to others?

The reason why I call you my nephew now is because I have already understood these things.

As for me, I don’t have any extravagant ambitions in this life. I just want to be a rich man with a lot of wives and concubines, and live my life with no worries about food and clothing.

So whether it’s you who have a grudge against me or the ambitious Northern Expedition Alliance, I don’t want to offend, and I don’t dare to offend.

Aren’t you two already starting to compete for hegemony in Shandong?

Until you two decide the final winner, my Mahayana Buddha Kingdom will remain neutral.

Now the entire Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom is a bargaining chip for my future glory and wealth. I am not very greedy. As long as the final winner can promise me a lifetime of prosperity, wealth and peace, then I will directly hand over the entire Mahayana Buddha Kingdom. to each other.

Dear nephew, go back and tell your uncle that you should stop trying to take my side before he defeats the Northern Expeditionary Alliance. There is no way I will hang myself on a tree in your Dashi Kingdom.

If your uncle is really the right one, if he is willing to let go of his past grudges, then let him prove it to me with the Northern Expedition.

As long as your Dashi Kingdom defeats the Northern Expedition Alliance, I will immediately hand over the military power of the Demon-Conquering Legion and surrender to your uncle.

If your Dashi Kingdom cannot survive this test, then it can only be said that your uncle is not the real Mr. Right, and I will have no choice but to join the Ming Lord. "

Although Chu Tianba always smiled, his eyes were full of sadness and loneliness.

When he endured humiliation and shouldered the burden of establishing the Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom with his own hands, wasn't it just to be able to soar into the sky in the future and join the ranks of heroes competing in the world?

However, the Dashi Kingdom was like an insurmountable natural chasm, locking him firmly in the inner ring area of ​​Mount Tai.

With years of management, Chu Tianba stubbornly repelled the attack of the Dashi Kingdom, but due to his late start, his demon-suppressing army was still unable to get out of the inner ring of Mount Tai.

Later, with the powerful attack of the Condor Empire, no one in China could stop the expansion of the Condor Empire. Chu Tianba knew that he had no chance in this game.

Although joining Ning Yuan was a very good choice, it was absolutely impossible to say that Chu Tianba didn't have any regrets in his heart.

So at this moment when he was fooling Xiong Xiaoguang, it was inevitable that he would be a little emotional.

Xiong Xiaoguang thought that what Chu Tianba was talking about was only their Dashi Kingdom and the Northern Expedition Alliance on the other side. Little did he know that there was something in Chu Tianba's words, and he also secretly added the Condor Empire.

What Chu Tianba said was 30% true and 70% false, and it was this kind of true and false words that could successfully deceive those who couldn't hear the underlying meaning.

In order to make Xiong Xiaoguang think that he was really frustrated, after saying those words, Chu Tianba once again grabbed a bottle of strong liquor and drank it wildly.

At this moment, he still has no trace of the majestic aura of looking down on the world. He is just a pathetic guy waiting to die.

Seeing Chu Tianba's true feelings revealed, Xiong Xiaoguang sighed helplessly, and then spoke again without giving up: "Lord Chu Buddha, I can understand your mood at this moment, and I also know that you have not had an easy time these years.

However, I still want to remind you that no one from the Northern Expedition Alliance will believe what you just said.

As long as your Mahayana Buddhist kingdom occupies this strategic location, they will never be able to rest assured.

Didn't you just say that you want to maintain pure neutrality and then dedicate the Mahayana Buddha Kingdom to the final winner?

I'm afraid that the Northern Expedition Alliance will not allow you to remain neutral, because they will not dare to easily enter the Yellow River Corridor at the northern foot of Mount Tai before they obtain this strategic location that you occupy.

So again, you don’t have many choices now, either surrender to the Northern Expedition Alliance immediately and give your Mahayana Buddha Kingdom, or join forces with our Dashi Kingdom to jointly resist the attack of the Northern Expedition Alliance.

As for the grievances between you and my uncle, they are all old news.

There are no permanent enemies, only common interests. This is the normal way of communication between countries.

And no one can know in advance what will happen in the future. Maybe in the future you will seize an opportunity and fly into the sky?

So we can only focus on the present and do the things in front of us. As long as we have worked hard, we will not have too many regrets even if we fail. Do you think this is true? "

The current war situation is very unfavorable to the Dashi Kingdom. Xiong Xiaoguang is worried that Chu Tianba will fall directly to the more powerful Northern Expedition Alliance after being frustrated, so he tries to rekindle the opponent's ambitions.

Seeing Xiong Xiaoguang talking to him seriously, Chu Tianba couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Does the stupid bear opposite him really think that he is afraid of these two losers, the Dashi Kingdom and the Northern Expedition Alliance?

MD, when I faced the more powerful Empire of Ten Thousand Beasts, I didn’t lose heart. Why would I still be afraid of you two half-dead forces?

What I'm afraid of is Ningyuan's Condor Empire. That little bastard in Ningyuan is developing so fast that I can't see any hope of catching up.

I am a player, and Ning Yuan is also a player. Ning Yuan restrained me to death, making it impossible for me to use many of my methods.

In addition, the temper of that little bastard Ningyuan is very suitable for me, so I will give up and continue to compete for hegemony in this game.

You idiots are already on the verge of death, and you are still fighting to death here. If Ning Yuan cannot dominate the Huaxia District when he encounters an opponent like you, he can just hit him to death.

MD, Ning Yuan's luck is really good. Why couldn't I meet such a stupid opponent in the first place?

"My dear nephew, I admit that what you said makes sense, but you have forgotten where your uncle hit his head and was bleeding.

Back then, my Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom was completely surrounded by your Dashi Kingdom. It was because your uncle was defeated by me the last time that I owned the land east of the Grand Canal.

What the Northern Expedition Alliance fears most is that I will suddenly send troops to cut off their retreat after they enter the Yellow River Corridor.

If this is the case, then all I need to do is restore the original territorial size of the Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom.

I believe that as long as I transfer all the Demon-Conquering Legion back to the north bank of the Daqing River, they will believe that I am truly sincere and remain neutral. "

The drama was almost over, and Chu Tianba decided to proceed directly to the final step, a public auction of the land between the Grand Canal and the Daqing River.

After hearing the implication of Chu Tianba's words, Xiong Xiaoguang's face immediately turned ugly. He swallowed hard and asked: "Master Chu wants to give up Jining, Yanzhou, Wenshang and other places to the Northern Expedition." alliance?"

Seeing that the main scene had finally entered, Chu Tianba pretended to be helpless and said: "Then what else can I do?

As you said, I occupy this strategic location. If I don't take the initiative to give it away, who will really believe that I want to remain neutral?

However, it is not necessary to give up those areas to the Northern Expedition Alliance, and it is not impossible to give them to your Dashi Kingdom.

Again, I just want to save my life and the beautiful girls in my back house, and live the rest of my life in peace and without worries, so I don't dare to offend either of you.

I estimate that the envoys from the Northern Expedition Alliance are about to arrive. How about waiting for them to arrive and, my dear nephew, discuss directly with them how to divide up the lands I gave up? "

The task given by Ningyuan to Chu Tianba was to guard the inner ring area of ​​Mount Tai. The defense line that Chu Tianba built when he was working hard was built from Dongping County along the Daqing River and extended to the mountains north of Ningyang.

This line of defense is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Xiong Dashi once hit his head here and was bleeding, and finally returned in defeat.

It was impossible for Chu Tianba to leave such a solid line of defense unused and fight the enemy to the death by the Grand Canal.

So after receiving the message from Ning Yuan, he had already thought of all the countermeasures.

Neither the Dashi Kingdom nor the Northern Expedition Alliance could pretend not to see him, and would be extremely wary of his existence.

As long as he takes the initiative to shrink the defense line and give up the land southwest of the Daqing River, no matter which force on the two sides has the advantage, they will send an army to Wenshang and Jining and other places to completely block his Mahayana Buddhist kingdom in Mount Tai. ring area.

Originally, he wanted to quietly move the garrison and people in those places to the defense line, but he never expected that the Dashi Kingdom would be defeated so quickly, and the Northern Expedition Alliance directly reached the Grand Canal.

And when both sides sent envoys to win over him, he saw a huge business opportunity, which is why he extorted the envoys from both sides.

Although he did not directly say that he would auction off the land that was about to be given away, anyone who was not a fool could understand what he meant.

The army of the Dashi Kingdom and the Northern Expeditionary Alliance were now facing each other across the river by the Grand Canal. His initiative to give in directly hit the fate of the two forces and turned the natural danger of the Grand Canal into a dispensable existence.

If the Dashi Kingdom wants to continue to possess the natural danger of the Grand Canal, they must find a way to obtain Wenshang, Jining and other places.

If the Northern Expedition Alliance wants to attack the Yellow River Corridor with confidence, they will need several cities in Wenshang and Jining as bridgeheads.

As long as they obtain these cities, they can not only have a logistics supply base on the east bank of the Grand Canal, but also eliminate the hidden danger of being cut off by the Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone.

Therefore, with just a little trickery, Chu Tianba was able to bring about a bloody fight between the two forces. Not only could he complete the tasks assigned by Ning Yuan, but he could also make a fortune, killing two birds with one stone.

"Lord Chu Buddha, are you sure you want to do this?"

After understanding what Chu Tianba meant, Xiong Xiaoguang asked again without giving up.

"That's right, now I can't afford to offend either of your two forces, so I can only give up those lands that you call strategic locations, and then seal myself off to give you peace of mind." Chu Tian Ba nodded and confirmed.

Seeing that Chu Tianba's expression was very serious and did not look like he was cheating, Xiong Xiaoguang sighed helplessly and said: "Since Master Chu has made up his mind, I will no longer persuade you.

This matter is of great importance and I cannot make the final decision. I must go back and ask my uncle for instructions first.

Lord Chu, I will rush back as soon as possible. If the envoy from the Northern Expedition Alliance arrives, please do not rush to make a decision. Be sure to wait. I will rush back as soon as possible. "

Xiong Xiaoguang knew very well about the land that Chu Tianba wanted to sell.

If their Dashi Kingdom cannot take over all the land, then even if most of the land falls into their hands, it will be meaningless.

Because as long as the Northern Expeditionary Army gets a piece of land next to the Grand Canal, they can cross the river directly from there.

Therefore, if they want to prevent the Northern Expeditionary Army from easily crossing the Grand Canal, they must get all the land from Chu Tianba.

Chu Tianba is now only focused on money. He wants his side to bid with the Northern Expedition Alliance in order to obtain the maximum benefit.

In order for the Northern Expedition Alliance to obtain a base on the other side of the Grand Canal, they will definitely also be determined to acquire the lands transferred by Chu Tianba.

By then, the transaction price will definitely be an astronomical figure, and it must be in cash, otherwise Chu Tianba will definitely not agree.

To be honest, he didn't know how much valuable things their Dashi Kingdom could offer to buy land from Chu Tianba, so he had to rush back as soon as possible to negotiate with Xiong Dashi.

"Okay, nephew, you can rush back without worries. I will wait for you to return before making a decision."

Without bidders, he would earn a lot less, so Chu Tianba directly agreed to the other party's request.

"Thank you, Buddha, for your understanding. Then I will take my leave first."

After giving a deep salute to Chu Tianba, Xiong Xiaoguang immediately turned around and left.
