Chapter 2040 Negotiation
Liu Xin told Yunying all his arrangements. In this way, Yunying was prepared, but everything had to be seen how to act tonight. After all, this matter is troublesome now. If this lie cannot be fulfilled well, it may not be so simple to get away with it. Therefore, Yunying must arrange everything in advance.
That afternoon, in Liu Xin's tent, everyone gathered again. Liu Xin sat in the first seat, followed by two deputy generals, then the pioneer, centurion, and the senior executives of the Expeditionary Force were all here. Everyone looked at Liu Xin and waited for Liu Xin to announce this mission.
"We have been here for a few days. I believe everyone will be puzzled. What is the reason we are here for?" Liu Xin said to everyone.
Everyone's eyes were also concentrated on Liu Xin. No one spoke, and they were waiting for Liu Xin to continue talking. The current expeditionary army is different from the initial expeditionary army. Under the leadership of Liu Xin, the existence of the expeditionary army has become extremely large.
"Actually, this time we came to Tianshan, the main task was to find the existence of the Tianshan Sect. When we were in the barbaric country, I received a letter from the leader of the flying pigeon, asking us to bring the expeditionary army to Tianshan, either attack or subdue it." Liu Xin said.
"Attack the Tianshan Sect?" Zheng Ziqiang looked at Liu Xin and asked.
"Yes, that's exactly what it means, but I think that if I can, subdue it is much better than siege and kill," said Liu Xin.
"Our Expeditionary Force has actually suffered a great loss of power after the Battle of the Barbarian Kingdom. The 5,000 people are still less than 2,000 people. Until now, the leader has no intention of letting our Expeditionary Force expand its troops. When we were in the Barbarian Kingdom, everyone must have felt the disadvantage of the number of people. Otherwise, Cheng Cheng would definitely not dare to bully our people like this at that time. So I think, if possible, I choose to subdue it." Liu Xin said.
When Yan Tao and the others first heard Liu Xin say they wanted to conquer the Tianshan Sect, they had some opinions, but now, after hearing Liu Xin's words, everyone was silent now.
After all, Liu Xin is talking about the fact that the number of the expeditionary army has dropped sharply now. In this way, if it is placed within the Xuanming Sect, it will seem a little weak, just like Cheng Cheng. Whenever he comes, he will directly exclude the expeditionary army with tens of thousands of troops.
"The leader's order is just to subdue or destroy the Tianshan Sect, but it does not say that it must be wiped out. In this way, we can choose to subdue the Tianshan Sect. There are about 500 disciples of the Tianshan Sect. If we really join our Xuanming Sect, it will definitely be a great help to the strength of our expeditionary army at that time." Liu Xin said.
"But how could the people from the Tianshan Sect surrender to our Xuanming Sect? What they are most valued by famous people is reputation. It is simply impossible to make them surrender to the Xuanming Sect." Yan Tao said.
"The situation is now, and in fact, the Tianshan Sect cannot be considered by the people of the Tianshan Sect. Although the expeditionary army is short of staff, there are nearly 2,000 people, which are close to the Tianshan Sect. Now the Tianshan Sect has no way out. In this way, there are only two roads in front of them. One is to be wiped out by us, and then the Tianshan Sect will be destroyed from then on. The other road is to surrender to our Xuanming Sect and join the Expeditionary Army. I think the people of the Tianshan Sect are not so stupid. They don't know how to choose under such two choices." Liu Xin said.
"That's right, but the people of the Tianshan Sect belong to the famous and upright sect. These people have always had a self-centered heart. Even if we are close to the Tianshan Sect now, if there is no fight or rush to the Tianshan Sect, there will be no way to conquer them. But if we really rush to the Tianshan Sect, there will inevitably be no casualties and injuries when the fight occurs. In this way, the hatred between our Expeditionary Force and the Tianshan Sect will be formed. Even if the people of the Tianshan Sect are unable to defeat our Expeditionary Force, they will still surrender because they have a deep blood hatred between them, so they are still very tender and surrender." Yun Ying said.
These words were actually discussed with Yunying from the beginning. After all, this matter has reached an important stage now. Although Liu Xin has figured out a solution, it is better to have one more solution.
Moreover, after Liu Xin came back, after discussing with Yunying, he came up with a solution, which was the method that Liu Xin was implementing now, directly convinced everyone to agree to the surrender of the Xuanming Sect. Then Liu Xin arranged another show to let the disciples of the Tianshan Sect join the Xuanming Sect naturally.
"What the deputy general said makes sense. This is indeed a serious problem. If we want to rush to the Tianshan Sect, if we get entangled with the people of the Tianshan Sect, we will inevitably suffer casualties. In this way, it is impossible to surrender to the Tianshan Sect. So one thing we need to pay attention to is that no matter what, we must not kill the disciples of the Tianshan Sect. In this way, even if the people of the Tianshan Sect know that they are defeated, they will not have so many concerns if they want to surrender." Liu Xin said.
"But in this way, our behavior will be restricted. In this way, we can guarantee that we will not kill the people of the Tianshan Sect. The people of the Tianshan Sect will not be so soft-hearted. If the killing is launched at that time, will the brothers be miserable?" Zheng Ziqiang said.
"That's better. I go up the mountain to negotiate with the head of the Tianshan Sect, tell the head of the Tianshan Sect the current situation and let him make a choice by himself. Now the situation has reached this point. I believe the head of the Tianshan Sect will make the right choice for the safety of the disciples of the entire Tianshan Sect." Liu Xin said.
"But what if the head of the Tianshan Sect does not surrender, what should I do if the general is detained on the mountain at that time?" Yan Tao asked.
"It's better to do this. Let's ask someone to give the head of the Tianshan Sect a message and ask him to go down the mountain to negotiate directly. At that time, the head of the Tianshan Sect will negotiate with the general. In this way, people from both sides will not be around, and there will be no ambushing." Ziqiao said on the side.
"That's right, so let's do it." Liu Xin nodded after thinking for a while, and agreed to Ziqiao's proposal. In fact, it was equivalent to Liu Xin's agreement with his proposal. After all, this sentence was what Liu Xin told Ziqiao to say.
"Okay, since that's the case, let me go to Tianshan to send this news." Yunying said.
Liu Xin nodded without any objection. Everyone agreed at this moment. After all, everything was natural. Yunying's delivery of the letter could be regarded as a way to give everyone in the Tianshan Sect a sense of importance. It would not just send a small soldier to deliver the letter casually. This would also make the Tianshan Sect's psychologically comfortable.
The matter has been decided. Although no one will be ambushed, in order to dispel everyone's doubts, Liu Xin decided to make a good arrangement. At that moment, Liu Xin asked Yunying to deliver the letter, but in fact, she also asked Yunying to tell Tianshan Sect's head Tian Wuya about the current decision, so that they could prepare to accompany them to perform this drama.
After arranging these, Liu Xin continued to arrange the arrangements and asked Yan Tao to stay in the camp with his two hundred men and respond at any time. Zheng Ziqiang himself was already injured, so he also took his men to keep his hands. In this way, the two pioneers stayed in place. Mo Yun, as the deputy general, took his men and horses to patrol the back mountain, paying attention to the movements around at any time, and avoiding the Tianshan Sect keeping back and ambushing the back mountain.
As for the four centurions, they followed Liu Xin with their men, set up posts on the road, and observed the movements at any time. Even if the Tianshan Sect wants any actions that are not conducive to Liu Xin, everyone can discover them as soon as possible and deal with them as soon as possible.
Yunying followed Liu Xin to negotiate together. I believe Tian Wuya from there would definitely bring someone to negotiate. At that time, everything will be arranged slowly according to the situation at that time. However, now the general plan has been deployed, and the rest will be much simpler.
Everyone had no objection to Liu Xin's arrangement. Although Liu Xin's arrangement was not perfect, there were no mistakes. In this way, everyone could not find any reason to refute.
Originally, at the beginning, Liu Xin planned to take everyone to attack the Tianshan Sect with her tonight, but now that she has convinced everyone, Liu Xin doesn’t need Xiangyang anymore. She just set her time tomorrow and negotiates with the Tianshan Sect’s people.
That night, Yunying came back after delivering the letter and came to Liu Xin's tent. After coming in, she drank water and sat aside.
"What's wrong?" Liu Xin asked looking at Yunying.
"It's okay, everything goes well." Yunying said,
"That's good, then wait for tomorrow. Then negotiate with Tian Wuya, and then let the disciples of the Tianshan Sect join the expeditionary army." Liu Xin nodded and said.
"Now the matter of the Tianshan Sect has actually been solved. What I am worried about is whether Tongming will be unhappy if he knows it. After all, at the beginning, Tongming asked us to destroy the Tianshan Sect, but he didn't say anything to conquer." Yun Ying looked at Liu Xin and said with a worried look on his face.
"Tongming did not say to conquer, but his letter did not say that we must destroy the Tianshan faction. In the battle of the barbaric country, the strength of our expeditionary army was greatly damaged. In this way, we can have reason to tell Tongming that if we do not have enough strength, how can we make achievements for the Xuanming Sect in the future?" Liu Xin said.
Yunying just nodded. Yunying never refuted Liu Xin's words. After all, Liu Xin's mouth was so sensible. Yunying felt that even if she died, she could be said to be alive by Liu Xin, so now Yunying no longer talks to Liu Xin about any reason or argues about anything.
Early the next morning, everyone started preparing. Today is the day for Liu Xin to negotiate with Tian Wuya. Everyone knows this, and the Expeditionary Force does need to be expanded. Everyone still remembers the scene of being bullied by Cheng Cheng's people when they were in the Barbarian Kingdom, so of course everyone hopes that more people can join the Expeditionary Force. In this way, if anything is done by the Expeditionary Force, everyone can share the burden.
Liu Xin got up early and everything went smoothly. If there was no problem, she would conquer the Tianshan Sect today, and then everyone could enter the Tianshan Sect headquarters. Then she would rest for a few days and then return directly.
"General, everything is ready." Yun Ying walked to Liu Xin and said, the soldiers around him were also waiting. Everyone was ready and just waiting for Liu Xin to set off.
