Chapter 192 Negotiation (2)

Fei Changliu: "Everyone knows it well, why pretend to be confused!"

"Let's put this aside for now." Niu Youdao didn't want to talk about this, and he didn't invite people to talk about this, and he couldn't go on talking about this matter. Those things were sold cheaply, and he couldn't afford anything and couldn't afford so much money to compensate. "Song Jiuming said that if you kill me, you can come back, promised the benefits of Liuxianzong, and drove Liuxianzong to work. I don't know if I am right?"

Fei Changliu's eyes were full of surprise, he didn't know how the other party knew.

Zheng Jiuxiao and Xia Hua looked at him in astonishment, and cursed inwardly, the Song family really has always favored Liuxianzong, why didn't they say hello to us?

Peng Youzai, who was sitting on the other side, knew something about it. Shang Chaozong seemed to have planted spies in the Song family, and the news that Shang Chaozong passed to Niu Youdao was also conveyed by Tianyumen, so he knew.

Fei Changliu: "I've already said, as long as you compensate me for the loss of my shop, everything else will be over."

Niu Youdao: "Master Fei, Liuxianzong couldn't kill me before, and now I dare to assert that Liuxianzong will not be able to kill me in the future. Dare I ask how Song Jiuming will come back and fulfill the benefits promised to Liuxianzong?"

Fei Changliu: "Don't you understand what I mean? Compensate Liuxianzong for the loss, and the rest is for the sake of Bingxue Pavilion. I Liuxianzong will not pursue it!"

Niu Youdao just refused to accept this, "Don't talk about Song Jiuming's comeback, how about I make a bet with you, the Song family will be destroyed soon!"

Fei Changliu: "Don't talk about the Song family with me, and you don't come here anymore. The past matters are their own. If you help the Song family, I will admit it to the Liuxianzong, but the huge sum of money in the store is shared by all the disciples of the entire Liuxianzong. If you don't give an account here, it will be a waste of money. I have no way to explain it to the disciples of the Liuxianzong. Looking for you!"

Niu Youdao answered irrelevantly: "Liuxianzong originally attached itself to the Song family, and now that the Song family has collapsed, what should Liuxianzong do for a while, I'm afraid it is also entangled?"

Fei Changliu: "This is a matter for me to stay in Xianzong, don't worry about it!"

Niu Youdao glanced at the crowd: "This time I invited everyone here to discuss the division of interests in Yan State and Nanzhou. How is this interest compared to what the Song family gave? If Sect Master Fei is not interested, he can leave now. I won't force it. I will accompany you at any time whether it is life or death."

"..." Everyone here is stunned, carve up the southern state of Yan Kingdom?

Fei Changliu, Zheng Jiuxiao, Xia Hua, the three of you look at me and I look at you.

After being stunned for a moment, Peng said with a sneer, "It's a big deal to carve up Nanzhou. Could it be that this is the meaning of the Ice and Snow Pavilion?"

But Niu Youdao reached out his hand to Fei Changliu to signal, "I said I'm not going to force you, if Master Fei wants to leave, just go."

Fei Changliu seemingly casually said, "It's okay to listen."

Niu Youdao snorted, looked around, and asked, "Is there such a reason? You want to settle accounts with me, how can I let you listen to the secret?"

Standing behind Fei Changliu, Wu Shaohuan bowed his head and whispered something in Fei Changliu's ear before standing up straight.

Fei Changliu's rigid face was tense, and he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and said: "If it is true that the interests of Nanzhou are enough to make up for the loss of my Liuxianzong, I have an explanation to Liuxianzong, and it is not uncommon to let go of the previous grievances."

Niu Youdao asked the other two, "Where are the heads of Zheng and Xia? Should we settle the accounts first, or what?"

Zheng Jiuxiao stroked his beard and said, "Stop after listening!"

Xia Hua hummed and nodded in agreement.

"If that's the case, let's listen first." Niu Youdao sneered mockingly, then looked at Peng Youzai, and said, "It has nothing to do with the Bingxue Pavilion. Does Master Peng think that the ambition of the Yongping County King is only in Xiaoxiaoqingshan County?"

If it means Ice and Snow Pavilion, there is still a lot to do. When he heard that it was not the meaning of Ice and Snow Pavilion, Peng immediately dismissed it: "Who doesn't want to go to a high place? No matter how high the ambition is, you must have the corresponding strength, not just talking about it here."

Niu Youdao responded tit for tat: "It's better than doing nothing! Just imagine that if King Yongping hadn't arrived in Canglu County to do something, Tianyumen would be nothing more than a county in Nanzhou. As soon as King Yongping arrived, he immediately helped Tianyumen, which had guarded Tianyumen for many years, take down the entire Qingshan County. Could it be that King Yongping is a boastful person?"

These words were a bit mocking of Tianyumen's incompetence, Peng Youzai naturally didn't like to hear it, he sneered and said: "If Tianyumen didn't support me, what would he use to occupy Qingshan County?"

Niu Youdao: "Then why Tianyumen didn't take Qingshan County long ago, but waited until Yongping County King to take it? Could it be that Tianyumen has the ability to predict the future and know that Yongping County King can get out of prison and come to Qingshan County, so they have been waiting for a long time? Isn't what the head of Peng said is not afraid of being ridiculed? Hehe, if King Yongping County has not settled all parties, would Tianyumen dare to support it? The sect's power in Nanzhou is still retreating in Guangyi County."

"Presumptuous!" Peng shouted angrily at an elder behind him.

Niu Youdao picked up the teacup, cast a sidelong glance at the elder, and slowly raised it to his lips, "If you can sit down and talk, what you are talking about is the truth, not louder than anyone else."

After finishing speaking, he bragged about the hot tea lightly, took a sip slowly, and continued: "If King Yongping County first arrived in Guangyi County, he said he would take down the entire Qingshan County, I'm afraid it will be the same as today's situation, and it will also provoke the same ridicule from the head of Peng, who ridiculed King Yongping County for being overconfident, but what is the truth? Maybe Tianyumen never dreamed that County King Yongping would become the lord of Qingshan County? Today's ridicule is like a relapse!"

Fei Changliu, Zheng Jiuxiao, and Xia Hua were all thoughtful when they heard this remark, and felt that this was the case. Who would have thought that Shang Chaozong could win Qingshan County so quickly?

Peng raised his hand again and stopped the furious elders behind him, "It's really sharp-tongued. If Shang Dynasty Zong really has a way to take Nanzhou, my Tianyumen will naturally support it with all my strength. I will only applaud, and will not do evil. But how big is Qingshan County, and how big is Nanzhou? Even if Tianyumen tries to block other sects at all costs, so what. Guangyi and Qingshan counties are only those, even if they are all dispatched by Shang Dynasty. Is it safe to live? How can the court of the Yan Kingdom give up if they forcibly occupy the land of a state? You are not ashamed to speak out here, could it be that you have discussed with the King of Yongping County and come up with a safe solution?"

Speaking of this point, it is true as he himself said, why not do it if he can really win Nanzhou? Stopping the angry elder also meant to hear about the follow-up situation. As the head of a sect, what he considers is the interests of the entire sect, and it is unnecessary to delay important matters by getting angry because of bickering.

Niu Youdao: "If you want to occupy Nanzhou, the safest way is to have strong soldiers and horses. It is a lie to rely on your Tianyumen's efforts. Although you have a lot of people in Tianyumen, but if you really want to throw it out to shepherd Nanzhou, you can't even fit your teeth, so you have to look at the Yongping County King."

Chen Tingxiu, the elder who got angry before Peng You, sneered and said, "It's okay to guard Feng Lingbo, but it doesn't have to be Shang Chaozong, right?"

Niu Youdao: "That's natural, but I only support the Shang Dynasty, it's as simple as that!"

Chen Tingxiu sneered: "You support, what do you support?"

Niu Youdao: "I don't know about wars. When I was talking and joking with King Yongping and Lan Ruoting, I asked them how many troops would be needed to conquer Nanzhou? They said that if it was just for the attack, 300,000 elite soldiers would be enough! As for the governance and guarding after the conquest, you can just recruit people on the spot. In fact, you don't need too many troops for the war, but too many would be a heavy burden. If you calculate it, you will need 200,000 elite troops to get rid of the 100,000 elite soldiers in Guangyi County!"

Everyone looked at him, not knowing what he meant when he answered the wrong question and mentioned this.

Peng snorted again: "Guangyi County can support 100,000 elite men and horses. That's the limit. That's because Guangyi County is a land of fish and rice. Adding another 200,000 elite troops will consume money and food that Guangyi County and Qingshan County can't afford at all."

Niu Youdao took a sip of tea slowly, and continued: "This is exactly what I can support, and I can provide financial support!"

Peng Youzai: "Do you know how much an elite soldier spends on chewing a day? The simplest food and drink cost at least ten copper coins. They still have children to support, and each person needs to pay at least three hundred copper coins per month to meet the basic needs of the family. It is ten copper coins per day."

"Not counting the money for clothes, armor and weapons, not counting the horses and the salaries of those generals, not counting the money for training and treating the wounded, and not counting unexpected pensions."

"Only the lowest basics per person, 20 copper coins per day. 200,000 elites, 4 million copper coins are consumed every day, which is 400 gold coins. In fact, it is far more than 400 gold coins. Adding other miscellaneous items, raising 200,000 elites will cost at least three times more. Without 1,500 gold coins a day, it will not be enough."

"This is only for one day, ten days is 15,000, one month is 40,000 to 50,000, and one year is almost 500,000 gold coins. Do you know how many craftsmen are behind to support 200,000 elite soldiers? Do you know how many horses you have to buy? This is not a war. Once a war occurs, the manpower and financial resources required for the preparation and delivery of a large amount of materials, and the pensions for a large number of dead soldiers. To fight, there must be strong financial support, you support? Where do you get so much money to support?"

Fei Changliu said lightly, "I'm afraid they stole three of our shops, so I dare to say that when I have some capital."

Niu Youdao: "You don't need to list these names for me. I don't care about these messes, and I don't understand these messes. I only provide financial support. How to spend them is something that Prince Yongping should worry about."

Peng directly stretched out his hand again, "Where is the money? If you can come up with the money, it will allow Shang Dynasty Zong to have the financial resources to recruit troops, not to mention attacking Nanzhou, but Tianyumen has no objection to attacking the entire Yan Kingdom."
