Chapter 236 Exchange Conditions

"Transaction?" Li Mingyang raised his eyebrows, but there was not much surprise.

Along the way, Li Mingyang no longer knows how many transactions he has made. It seems that people and even ghosts like to trade with themselves. Gradually, he has long taken this point. It must be that he has a certain value that the other party wants to trade with himself, and he likes trading very much.

If two strangers want to deepen their relationship quickly, the best way is to involve interests. As long as it is profitable, even two incompatible people can work well together.

"What kind of deal, let's talk about it." At this moment, Li Mingyang completely relaxed.

"It's worthy of being the god of war. It's really refreshing." Li Hong didn't forget to praise him, but he was really not good at it.

Li Mingyang smiled and said, "I'm not a god of war. If you have anything, just say it directly."

Li Hong was also too lazy to be polite and said directly, "Although I don't know why you gave up the status of leading the southern monks to fight against the Shu army a year ago, since you appeared in the Central Plains after disappearing for so long, I believe you just want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains."

Li Mingyang paused and said frankly, "Yes, I don't want to go back to the south, so I want to find a place to settle down in the Central Plains."

Hearing Li Mingyang's words, Li Hong's eyes clearly lit up and said more eagerly, "Okay, it's better in the Central Plains or the Central Plains. There is really no room for you to develop in such a place like Nanman. In that case, how about I give you a piece of land directly?

Li Mingyang didn't say anything, but just stared at the other party.

The heart was frighted by Li Mingyang. Li Hong smiled and said, "Of course, I'll give you the land. You need to help me fight."

"There's no problem with this. Let's get what we need." Seeing that the other party finally came to the point, Li Mingyang responded to a sentence. In fact, the so-called transaction is to be like this. It is impossible for the other party to give the fiefdom to himself. If he really wants to give it, he dares not ask for it.

This is actually the best. Even if this is the Central Plains, but if they want the territory, Li Mingyang and others are always able to defeat them, but after all, they are outsiders. In the Central Plains, where the aristocratic system is very strict, they fight as outsiders. It's too dangerous to fight in bad reputation. All they want is Li Hong. Give them an excuse to go to war. As for the problem of the territory, they can naturally solve it by themselves.

"However, I can only promise to help you fight. My people don't come out to be a hitman for others." After thinking about it, Li Mingyang immediately added.

"This..." Li Hong didn't expect Li Mingyang to say so. He was speechy for a moment, and then smiled and said, "This can be talked about well."

Li Mingyang shook his head resolutely: "I can't talk about it. Since you know me, you must know my current situation. In the south, I killed 10,000 Western Liang army and 40,000 Shu troops. I believe that whether it is King Cheng or King Shu, they can't wait to eat me raw. I can't even confirm whether you really want to make a deal with me, or just want to stabilize me, and then hand me over to King Cheng.

Li Mingyang didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said so bluntly. He continued: "Whether it's the South or the Central Plains, I'm not interested in fighting for hegemony. I just want the people around me to have a stability. You just need to give me a baron's fief. I can build a city myself and won't disturb it. If you mess up your rule, I can even pay double the tax. In exchange, I will find a way to bring back the fiefs of ten barons for you, as long as you can come up with the name for me to fight.

The two sides talked about this step and basically couldn't go further. Li Mingyang clearly was still wary of Li Hong, but he was still willing to try to cooperate with Li Hong, but the premise was that he could only fight and his people would never move.

In fact, Li Hong is not surprised by his vigilance of Li Mingyang. After all, it is impossible for people who can make such a great reputation in the south to believe it with their own words. However, for the first time he got along with Li Mingyang, Li Hong found a problem that he had never thought of before - Li Mingyang actually had some women's benevolence!

This is something he couldn't think of before. A butcher who can kill tens of thousands of enemy troops and a lord who can spread millions of spiritual stones at will actually value the life and death of his people and his men so much. This is a fatal shortcoming for any lord.

As the saying goes, how can a undead person do it if he wants to make contributions? Which king who has become famous is not stepping on the sea of corpses and bones to the throne. What if his subordinates die? After fighting a bigger territory, naturally more people will come to rely on it. Over the years, Li Hong can't count how many people have died under his men, and even the so-called confidant generals will die in some wars, which is normal and normal.

Li Hong was really puzzled. As long as he showed a little doubt, Li Mingyang smiled faintly and explained naturally, "It's very simple, because they are not my people, and I don't want to be any king, so I don't want them to participate in any hegemony."

Although Li Hong is still puzzled by Li Mingyang's strange remarks, he can only give up. He has seen that this is a difference in concepts and even a difference in beliefs. If he wants to say who is right or wrong about this matter, it is really boring.

In the end, Li Hong said as if to make a summary: "Well, you can rest assured that few people in Xiliang County have seen you except me. I will find a way to shut them up, so you don't have to worry about your appearance in the Central Plains by King Cheng or King Shu. Of course, this must be regarded as the first trading chip I took out, and I won't keep it secret for you for free. Second, I will give you a viscount territory, but I will not give you a title. I will declare that it is my direct territory, which can not only settle your people, but also make you not have to expose your identity too much.

Li Hong continued, "These are what I can do, and what you need to do is to help me fight..." Li Hong thought for a moment and stretched out three fingers: "Help me break the battle."

Listening to Li Hong's conditions, Li Mingyang couldn't help laughing. The two conditions given by Li Hong are really good. Help him keep it secret and give himself a small territory, which is indeed what he originally wanted. But listening to his request, Li Mingyang couldn't understand it.

Three battles? What kind of concept is this? Is it possible that war can also be calculated?

Looking at Li Mingyang's doubtful appearance, Li Hong explained, "I mean that you help me three times. Since you don't want your people to participate in my hegemony, I will send someone to fight and you help me command the army. But for the time being, I don't know which three battles you want to help me fight, so I'll find a place to settle you first, and then discuss how you can help me.

"I can fight with your troops, but the commander... is still the best person to have you." Li Mingyang said seriously.

"What? What's the problem?"

"Yes, there is indeed a problem. The problem is that I can't unify the army at all."

"What?" Li Hong seemed to hear a big joke and said with a questioning face, "Li Mingyang, the god of the army, actually said that he could not command the army. Do you think your words are convincing?"

"What a god of war, I have never called myself a god of war." Li Mingyang finally asked his doubts.

"Of course, it can't be you who claim to be the god of war. If everyone recognizes it, then my brother will be a military saint." Li Hong said with a smile, but thinking of Li Mingyang's disappearance in the south for more than a year, he still explained: "In the south, you have severely damaged our Xiliang soldiers three times in a row, and wiped out 40,000 Shu troops outside Phoenix. In the stormy south, you can still create such achievements, so whether it is the Central Plains monks who participated in the war or The fleeing southern monks all believed that you were the southern god of war, so the name of the god of war came out.

Listening to Li Hong's explanation, Li Mingyang was a little stunned and a little embarrassed. What Li Hong said was indeed planned by himself, but the problem is that the real executor was not himself, especially in the last few battles. It was completely with the help of the wheel that everyone thought it was impossible. Degree.

Just looking at Li Hong's convinced expression, Li Mingyang could only continue to smile bitterly. No matter how much he accepts now, he can't believe it. He will only think that he is modest. Only now did Li Mingyang know what is indefensible.

"Well, the god of war is the god of war. You can think whatever you want." Li Mingyang gave up arguing and said, "As long as you can do what you say, I will help you fight three times unconditionally."

"It's a deal." Li Hong finally laughed happily.

"It's a deal." Although somewhat depressed, Li Mingyang is still happy that the transaction can be so smooth.

For Li Hong, in fact, Li Mingyang is very wary, even if the other party swears, but in this case, it is still difficult to believe this kind of thing. But on second thought, Li Hong did not take action on himself when he had an absolute advantage, but just wanted to make a deal, which has also shown his sincerity. Maybe he is really too cautious, but no matter what he says, he knows his identity. If he doesn't make a deal, maybe the news of his appearance in the Central Plains tomorrow will spread to King Cheng and King Shu respectively, and then there will be a lot of trouble.

For today's plan, we can only temporarily choose to believe it.

The reason why I dare to do this is because there is a heavenly city. No matter how bad it is, just take them to run farther. After making up his mind, Li Mingyang said that he was happy to cooperate.

"What's going on? What happened?" Seeing Li Mingyang come back, Guo Yunshan and others quickly greeted him and asked.

"It's okay. It's all settled. Next, we can get busy."

"What's the business?" Guo Yunshan and others are all curious.

Li Mingyang smiled and whispered, "Move."
