Chapter 655 Negotiations
It is said that a thousand troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. At this time, Lingli is perfect. This is not only because the general has superb military power, but also the ability to command troops and fight.
Gao Shun's ability to command troops is undoubtedly the best proof of the strength of the trapped camp.
But what made Yang Tian a little depressed was that Gao Shun was conquered at the beginning was only 59 points of loyalty, which was the kind that might be rebellious at any time. Who made Yang Tian’s method of conquering Gao Shun was a bit unlucky? It was simply a coercion and temptation! But I’m afraid that if any player could conquer Gao Shun, he wouldn’t mind using such a method.
Yang Tian knew that the reason why Gao Shun was so low in loyalty to him was that he was too loyal to Lu Bu, even to the point of being loyal to him. However, Gao Shun also cherished his soldiers and regarded them as brothers of his mother. It was precisely because of this sentiment that he created the courage to "charge and be invincible to the battlefield" in the camp. If a general does not have strong personal charm, how could he make his soldiers sacrifice his life for him?
It can be said that if Yang Tian had not threatened the remaining two thousand camps today, Gao Shun would never have surrendered to him. Even if Yang Tian captured him and put a knife on his neck, Gao Shun would not have surrendered. And even if he surrendered now, his loyalty would only be 59 points, not even passing. Even as long as Gao Shun finds an opportunity, he may defect at any time.
Fortunately, when Gao Shun followed the soldiers in the formation and walked through the more than ten ships, his loyalty increased a little because he found that Yang Tian had settled the surrendered soldiers in the formation as he said, and the other soldiers in Baiyun City did not discriminate against these surrendered soldiers at all, so he felt a little better. Don’t underestimate this loyalty, it is equivalent to Gao Shun’s recognition of Yang Tian. Loyalty below 60 points is still a little hostile in a sense, and even if he kills the master, it is possible to defect. But it reaches 60 points. Only the lord does not make any mistakes, does not let his subordinates become deteriorated to him, or no one else instigates him. Basically, he will not defect.
However, it seems that it is too difficult to improve Gao Shun's loyalty, and it seems to be more difficult than Huang Zhong and others, which makes Yang Tian quite confused.
Guo Jia, who stood beside him, saw his thoughts and said, "Lord. It is difficult for Gao Shun to be more loyal to him now. The reason why Gao Shun is difficult to be more loyal to him is that his loyalty to Lu Bu has not been cut off, and as long as he is asked to give up on Lu Bu, Gao Shun's loyalty will be rapidly improved. Before this, if you want to improve Gao Shun's loyalty, you can only focus on the soldiers who are trapped in the battle."
Yang Tian was a little surprised and was even more grateful to Guo Jia. If Guo Jia hadn't specifically reminded him before, he would probably have left so many soldiers who had trapped the formation without eyes. It would be hard to say whether the remaining soldiers who trapped the formation could still use as bargaining chips to threaten Gao Shun. Now, this matter has been finalized, and Gao Shun is already in his own hands.
Yang Tian also understood what Guo Jia said. Although Gao Shun was loyal to Lu Bu, not all the soldiers who were trapped in the formation were loyal to Lu Bu! Even when his leader was not valued under Lu Bu, many soldiers had long resentment towards Lu Bu. As long as they convinced these soldiers who were trapped in the formation, they often instill some ideas in Gao Shun. The public talks made money and destroyed bones. In addition, Guo Jia's ability, it would probably take not long before Lu Bu's image would disappear in his heart. At that time, who else could instigate Gao Shun to his side?
Another thing that made Yang Tian a little confused was that Gao Shun's first-level legion of the trap camp was only 10,000, which was half less than the special legion of Huang Zhong and others. This may also indirectly confirm the specialty of the trap camp!
At this moment, the ship sailing in the front suddenly blew the flag. Although Yang Tian could see clearly, he had no idea what the flag was about to express. In less than a moment, the sound came from the front one by one.
"Report to the lord, a small sailboat was found in front of you. Someone on the ship said he wanted to see you!" Yang Chao, the person in charge of the ship in front, stood at the stern of the ship and shouted to Yang Tian.
Yang Tian frowned. Do you have any acquaintances in Luoyang City? Maybe there was one in his previous life! It was the Crazy Dragon World that reborn into this life, but he was sure that that guy would never know him in this life.
Suddenly thinking about the Crazy Dragon World, Yang Tian thought that he should settle some grudges? Although he doesn't care much about this matter now, after all, the two are not on the same level at all, why should he spend a lot of effort on it? Moreover, Crazy Dragon World has not provoked him in this life, and his master has become Wuming! Maybe wait and see, anyway, that guy can't leave "The World" isn't it?
Putting the matter of the Crazy Dragon World aside, Yang Tian quickly thought about who else could come to see him by boat.
Suddenly, Yang Tian patted his head, why are you so stupid? If you don’t know who it is, can’t you ask? He shouted: “Yang Chao, what’s that person’s name?”
Yang Chao responded: "I don't know, that person is unwilling to say his name!"
Damn! I'm still playing with myself.
Guo Jia suddenly said, "Lord, this person is likely sent by Dong Zhuo."
Jia Xu also nodded and said, "It should be Li Ru, a counselor under Dong Zhuo."
When Yang Tian heard this, he felt that it was very likely. After all, when he fought with Gao Shun before, Gao Shun told Dong Zhuo that he had a fleet on his side. That guy must have thought of the threat a powerful fleet brought to him.
Yang Tian asked: "Fengxiao, do you think we should meet Li Ru?"
Guo Jia said: "I think it's possible to meet at first sight. I guess that the reason why Li Ru came to see his lord was naturally to let the lord withdraw from this war or not intercept Dong Zhuo's army on the bank of the Yellow River. Since they are here to negotiate, we can naturally negotiate the conditions as much as possible. The benefits that can be obtained in this way are definitely much easier than those obtained through war."
"Wenhe, what do you think?" Yang Tian ignored this and asked Jia Xu instead.
Jia Xu immediately replied: "My subordinates fully agree with Brother Fengxiao's opinion, but this condition is the lord needs to have a good talk with Dong Zhuo."
"Okay! Since you all think that Li Ru should meet, let him come over!" Yang Tian said immediately. He had no resistance to meeting Li Ru, because he seemed to have not suffered any losses, whether it was the previous matter or the matter that was negotiable now. Since it was his own advantage, what's the harm in meeting Li Ru?
Then, a soldier beside Yang Tian conveyed the order to Yang Chao under Yang Tian's instructions, and then passed it layer by layer, and soon reached the farthest, while Yang Tian and others returned to the cabin and waited for Li Ru to arrive. As Li Ru's identity, he was not qualified to let Yang Tian greet the ship on the deck.
After a while, Yang Tian saw a sailboat sailing slowly from the front. It was a two-masted sailboat. Compared with an ordinary fleet, such a ship could be regarded as the main warship. But next to these Aquaman-class warships in front of him, they were not even qualified to carry shoes. The scene was like a kitten rushing into a pile of tigers.
Yang Tian still admired Dong Zhuo very much. He probably only took five or six hours to get Gao Shun's message. He didn't expect that he could get a ship so soon, and it was a two-masted sailboat, which is something that ordinary people can do.
Soon, Li Ru was taken to the deck of Yang Tian's ship, and then brought into the cabin by two Jinfan naval troops.
"The lower official Li Ru has met General Yang! After a few days of separation, General Yang is fine!" Li Ru said with a calm expression, which made people unable to feel that he was in a state of hostility with Sunshine at this moment.
Since others can act, Yang Tian was so happy that he pretended to be confused and smiled: "It's okay! Anyway, there is nothing wrong with eating and drinking every day. I just don't know what Mr. Li came here this time? Is there something wrong with what I traded to Master Dong before?"
"Of course not!" Li Ru hurriedly said: "I came here this time on the order of Grandmaster Dong. One is to meet General Yang, and the other is that I have some small things to discuss with General Yang."
"Oh?" Yang Tian seemed a little surprised and immediately said, "General Li, let's talk about it first. What are you going to discuss?"
Li Ru did not hide it and said directly: "General Yang, the Grand Master heard that a fleet in Baiyun City has arrived here. He sent his subordinates to discuss with General Yang to see if General Yang can transfer this fleet from Sili. After all, this is an important place in the capital. If everyone can send a legion to this area, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
This guy is really hypocritical! Yang Tian said in his heart. As he said this, he was not in the mood to have a puzzle with the other party. If he was surrounded by this guy, he would be more than worth the loss. He immediately said, "Hahaha... my fleet also arrived in Sili for the sake of serving the king. Now the emperor has not seen it yet, how can he leave Sili easily? Mr. Li, don't you?"
Li Ru frowned slightly and said, "The emperor is safe and sound now, General Yang can rest assured. The Grand Tutor said that as long as General Yang is willing to withdraw from Sili, he is willing to make friends with General Yang, so General Yang will mention it. The Grand Tutor can also understand General Yang's difficulties. After all, it is not easy to lead a large army from Yangzhou to Sili. There is a lot of food and grass and military pay. As long as it is not too much, the Grand Tutor will consider it as appropriate."
Yang Tian said in embarrassment: "The Grand Master's words have reached my heart. But Mr. Li, you also know that the current situation is now. If I leave Sili in advance, it may be very unfavorable to me Baiyun City! I hope Mr. Li will be more considerate."
Chapter completed!
