Chapter 941 Negotiation
“Everyone, thank you for attending the Lecheng Association Meeting.
After noon, in front of the city lord's palace, Yueqiu asked people to set up two rows of tables and chairs, six on the left, five on the right, a total of eleven tables. The presidents and vice-presidents of each group sat on their seats, and behind the seats were He is an elite soldier of the regiment.
Yue Qiu naturally sat in the middle, and Ye Fan's position was beside him.
"Before the meeting begins, let me introduce to you the young hero beside me."
Yueqiu was not in a hurry and spoke slowly. Just as he was about to tell the story of Ye Fan's deeds, a president suddenly said:
"King Ye's name is as loud as thunder. We all know it. Mr. Yue, please continue to tell us."
"Uh." Yue Qiu was a little embarrassed and looked at Ye Fan beside him.
Ye Fan didn't say anything, just watched quietly, with the Great Emperor's Book still in his mind.
It was a book from the mythical age, and although the owner of the book did not achieve perfection, as the title of the book says, he was an emperor from the mythical age. At the end of his life, he summed up his life's experiences.
One hundred magic techniques can quickly pull him away from his neglect of perfection during this period.
"Okay, then the first item of the meeting is about King Ye's need for soldiers. I wonder what you think about it?" Ye Fan didn't say anything, and Yue Qiu also cleared his throat: "Is it an equal distribution? Or according to some method."
"Storm City is in danger, and King Ye is rescuing the front line. Logically speaking, we should support it." The second president stood up, "But it is precisely because the front line is in danger that Lecheng is also in crisis."
"We are taking root in Lecheng. If we send troops to leave at this time, I'm afraid it will cause unrest in the city."
"Second President, this is a joke." Yue Qiu, who was so shrewd, smiled slightly, "Lecheng also has a large number of city guards, which are enough to maintain the stability of the city."
"If Storm City is captured and the entire front line collapses, that will be a real crisis."
"The City Guards are so large, why not let the City Guards fight with King Ye?" Liusu, the first president, said with a sharp look in his eyes, "These members of our league can also help maintain the stability of the city."
"What President Liusu said makes sense." Liusu had some weight, and Yue Qiu nodded first.
"However, as an official force, the City Guards are the most convincing force for the people. If they are transferred, it will weaken the people's trust in Lecheng."
"In addition, now that the troubled times are over, the city guards are the backbone of guarding Lecheng. Once they are weakened, they may not be able to fight against foreign enemies in the future."
"Master Yueqiu is worried too much." Liusu responded immediately, "Our eleven regiments are standing together with Master Yue. Although there are fewer city guards, we as reserves will naturally help. "
"Master Yue said that the people are worried, and we can also contribute to fight against foreign enemies."
"Lisu, you are really..." Yue Qiu smiled, but there was a cold light in his eyes.
And when it comes to this, Ye Fan naturally understands on the side.
The Tuanhui is somewhat like the former aristocratic family. In Lecheng, Yueqiu and these Tuanhui share the governance of the entire Lecheng, and both parties check and balance each other.
This was also the main reason why Yue Qiu quickly agreed to him. With his help, he could greatly weaken the strength of these groups.
This is where they argue. Tuanhui certainly understands Yueqiu's intentions and wants to weaken Yueqiu's city guards.
This was what they originally thought. Their arrival, in a sense, became a medium.
"never mind."
Thinking of this, Ye Fan spoke up and interrupted everyone's quarrel.
"Since everyone has a heart, how about one half?" Ye Fan said.
One person and half is equivalent to weakening them all in vain.
"King Ye's proposal is very good." It was Yueqiu who came out to smooth things over again, "But there are not many 150,000 people, and the people in the league have enough support."
"One hundred and fifty thousand?" Hearing this, Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
As expected, after saying this, Yue Qiu changed the subject: "Of course, since King Ye has such a good proposal, then let's follow King Ye's proposal."
"The regiment meeting will send out 75,000 soldiers, and the city guards will make up for the rest."
"For the five kings, two will come from the regiment, and the city guards will make up the number in the same way."
"Huh?" Yue Qiu agreed immediately, and everyone in the group was stunned.
So refreshing? Isn’t it true that the City Guards are at a greater disadvantage?
"It's a fraud." Without any hesitation, the second president beside Liusu shook his head.
"How can Master Yueqiu be allowed to pay so much?" Liusu reacted quickly. He handed over his hand and refused: "It's too unkind to share the money equally."
"I can't let you go out, and I can't even share it equally. What do you want?" Yue Qiu was a little dissatisfied.
"How to divide..." Liusu pondered, and quickly gave his answer: "How about following the tradition of the Lecheng Conference in previous years? How about using martial arts to compete?"
"We will each send one person, and the city guards will send one person. According to the final ranking, from top to bottom, the stronger will work harder, and naturally more will be sent."
"The specific proportion...the top five will each have one king-level soldier, and the number of soldiers will be 20% according to the first rank, and the lower ranks will decrease in descending order."
"Fair and open."
"Hey, that's a good suggestion." As soon as these words came out, several groups at the bottom of the rankings responded excitedly.
For them, this is the best choice.
"Lisu..." The second president and the third president looked at Liusu with expressions of embarrassment, as if they did not expect that the other party would make such a suggestion.
"I can represent the attitude of the meeting." Liusu ignored them and stared at Yueqiu, "As long as Lord Yueqiu is willing, we can hold it today."
"Storm City is in danger, I think we should not delay King Ye too much time."
"The proposal is good." Yueqiu hesitated. According to Liusu, even if he was the first, he would only need to send out 20,000 people at most, which was even less than the "half of one side" just now.
However, Liusu, as the president of the first group in Lecheng, naturally has a different mind than ordinary people. He must have other thoughts when making such a request.
"I agree..."
"Oh, there is one more thing." Yueqiu was about to nod, and Liusu spoke again: "Since it is the Lecheng competition, it is natural to follow the tradition of the past."
"Should the responsible areas between the group and the city guards be rearranged according to the results of this competition?"
"So it's here." Yueqiu understood it all at once, but the next moment, he agreed very readily.
"No problem."
Being able to secure the position of the overlord of Lecheng, he naturally has enough chips in his hands.
"Then let us prepare, and the competition will start tomorrow." Liusu stood up, and the eyes of both sides collided at this moment, each with their own thoughts.
"King Ye, I will also prepare." Yue Qiu also stood up and bowed to Ye Fan to say goodbye. Obviously, he was also going to find the master behind him.
On the contrary, Ye Fan fell in the hall, alone.
From beginning to end, everyone did not think of resisting him at all, but just wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the opponent.
"With such strength and mind, supporting the front line, wouldn't it be easy to get through the difficulties?" Qiongqi suddenly spoke.
"Isn't this our great human race?" Ye Fan was also helpless and stood up.
"When the enemy is at hand, those in power are only concerned with biting each other for the interests in their hands, and the people are ignorant and blindly follow."
"Just get used to it."
