Section 3 Negotiations

Next, Wufeng summoned Liang Chongxin, and Cui Wenxiu and Molun were about how to cooperate with each other in order to find clues in the shortest time and solve the obstacles to local economic development by bandits as soon as possible. Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu both proposed that the three largest bandit organizations in Qingyang Prefecture were "Purple Scarf Thieves", "Black Tigers" and "Iron Cavalry Association", and have now disappeared. No information about their activities has been collected in the past month and cannot take action. Wufeng turned his attention to Molun, "Molun, what do you think?"

Morren thought for a while, "Our Intelligence Bureau, the Police Bureau, and the Security Bureau have not had any valuable information, but I judged that they should still be in our Qingyang territory and have not left."

"Then what is your basis?" Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu asked in unison.

"According to the information we have, the members of these three organizations have exceeded 1,000, and have been active in the northwest for nearly ten years. The base is estimated to be located in Qingyang. It is said that the number of Zishuang Thief and Black Tiger has exceeded 2,000, while the Iron Cavalry Association is mainly horse thieves, mainly cavalrymen. Such a large organization cannot be left just by walking, and our intelligence does not show a large-scale outflow of personnel, and there is no sign of their activities in the surrounding prefectures and counties. This is one of them. Qingyang Prefecture is located on a major traffic road.

Especially after Luo Bei was repelled, the number of caravans traveled significantly increased, which was the most suitable place for these bandit organizations that made a living by looting. If you want to abandon this foundation and build a base, you have to spend a lot of time again. I don’t think these people will be willing to give up. This is the second place. Our dominance here is not very stable. These bandits must wait for the opportunity and watch the scenery. This is the third place. So I judge that they should still be lurking in our Qingyang territory." Moron pulled out his silk and analyzed carefully.

Wufeng and the other two were convinced by Moron's words, but Cui Wenxiu immediately asked, "Then where are these people hiding now?"

"This is just my inference, not necessarily completely accurate. I don't know where it is. If I had known, I would have told you a long time ago, and I would have to keep it here." Moron replied angrily, "However, although the Qingyang Prefecture is large, there are not many places suitable for them to hide. There are many dense forests and deep mountains in the border areas with Jinzhou and the Grand Duchy of Luzon. I guess we should have hidden in these areas so that we have spent so much energy to discover it."

Liang Chongxin asked another question: "How do these people's supplies be supplemented? This is not a small number."

Molun nodded and narrowed his eyes, "I am also considering this issue. First, there is a loophole in our surveillance in Qingyang, second, they have stored sufficient supplies, and third, they are replenishing supplies outside Qingyang through special channels. The first possibility is smaller, and we have already taken multiple monitoring measures, so there should be no loopholes. The second possibility is certain, but even so, two months have passed, and it must be almost consumed. As long as they appear, they will be exposed. The third possibility is the greatest. If these people are a little smarter, they can obtain supplies from our neighboring prefectures through abnormal channels, because their base may be on the borders of these areas. I also ignored this point at the beginning. Only in this way can these guys hide for so long without being discovered."

Wufeng, Liang Chongxin, Cui Wenxiu nodded in agreement with Moron's opinion. He is worthy of being a law-based student, and he is indeed careful and can't miss it.

"It's great. As long as we find the crux of the problem, we can prescribe the right medicine. Moron, in addition to continuing to strengthen the monitoring of suspicious targets in our own territory, we will immediately organize people to the nearby Luzon, Jinzhou, Bonan, Yinchuan, Gaochang and other places to secretly monitor larger local grain merchants. With so many people, the consumption will definitely be quite large. We will probably find large-scale merchants. They want to replenish supplies in other places, but they will not consider that we will go to those places to find clues. As long as we keep a close eye on these people, we will definitely find clues. In addition, we can send some people to search for areas where the terrain is easy to hide in the border areas with the neighboring areas. However, be careful not to alert the snake. If there are any clues, please provide timely feedback. Moron is responsible for specific measures. The troops should step up training and prepare for the expedition anytime and anywhere." Wufeng made careful arrangements.

Just as the investigation was in full swing, on February 20, a special guest came to Qingyang Mansion. The man was in a mysterious place. After entering the city from the west gate, he checked around to understand the local social situation and military garrisoning. Finally, he went to the vicinity of the field to observe the military training of the troops. His actions quickly attracted the attention of the Security Bureau. Just when he left the field, the personnel of the Security Bureau had already stared at him firmly, but what was unexpected to the trackers of the Security Bureau was that the man actually came to the city guarding mansion with a swagger and submitted a post to ask to see Li Wufeng.

Seeing that he was dressed normally and was unwilling to explain his identity, the receptionist just asked Wufeng to meet him in person, so he reported to Wufeng. Wufeng was discussing with Ling Tianfang about the purpose of the Yinchuan Prefecture Army's recent abnormal mobilization exercise and how to contact and negotiate with the forces around Luobei people. Fortunately, except for the Chidi people, other forces have permanent institutions in Qingyang.

When the receptionist reported to Wufeng, Wufeng also felt a little strange. Did he have any shameful things to tell him in person? Ling Tianfang even thought it would be a makeup assassin sent by hostile forces? In case of precaution, Kang Jianguo, the captain of Wufeng's personal guard, personally checked the whole body of the visitor and found that the person was nothing abnormal, but he had a secret letter hidden in his shoes, but the visitor insisted that this must be opened by Li Wufeng himself.

While Kang Jianguo reported these situations to Wufeng, the personnel of the Security Bureau also fed back the information to Wufeng. Wufeng couldn't help but become interested in the visitor and ordered Kang Jianguo to take the future people to the reception room.

"I am Li Wufeng. What do you mean? You can say now." Li Wufeng looked at the visitor with a smile. This is a middle-aged man who looks very ordinary. From his appearance, he should have the blood of a nomadic people. His skin is slightly yellow, his eyes are black, but his hair is a bit naturally curly, his nose is thin, and he looks like a person with a strong will.

The person who came was also a little surprised. The young man in front of him was so young, but the arrogant aura that looked down on the world on his body made people tell that he was the master here. "I am from the Xitengri grassland, called Kalong, and I am the envoy sent by our King Muruya of Chidi."

Wufeng and Ling Tianfang exchanged their eyes knowingly, trying their best to hide the joy in their hearts. They really just wanted to sleep when someone sent a pillow. They were talking about how to send someone to contact the Chidi people. In a blink of an eye, the messenger of the Chidi people was already sitting in front of him. It seems that the Chidi people must have the same idea as him, so he can make good use of this.

Wufeng pretended to be surprised and quickly called someone to take his seat, "Oh, it turns out that he is a friend from afar, please take his seat."

Caron immediately took out the secret letter and presented it to Wufeng with his hands, "This is a secret letter written by our king to the Lord. Please check the seal before checking it."

Wufeng was also very cautious and secretly used his internal strength to prevent the secret letter from being poisonous. After taking the secret letter, he looked at the sealed fire paint. After unpacking, there was only one page of paper inside, with only one sentence written on it: "I am a caron heading to your place, and I am fully responsible for discussing related matters on it. Muruya." There is also a lifelike wolf-head mark on it.

After reading it, Wufeng handed the secret letter to Ling Tianfang. Ling Tianfang glanced for a moment, nodded, and handed it back to Wufeng.

When the attendant brought the tea up, Caron took a sip and placed the tea cup on the table.

Wufeng also carefully observed this person in front of him. He was selected as the special envoy by the Chidi people and represented Muluya in full. He was extremely unfamiliar. Judging from his posture of drinking tea, he should be from a noble family. Nomads are used to drinking brick tea, bitter tea, Tuo tea and other teas with strong taste, which are very different from the traditional preferences of green tea, flower tea and black tea in the East and West mainland people. Because the main food of nomads is beef, mutton and cheese, and they also like to drink beef.

Sheep milk, so you must drink strong tea every day to relieve greasy, otherwise people will get sick. Therefore, ordinary herders are used to drinking brick tea, bitter tea, Tuo tea and other teas, but they feel that the taste is too light and has no taste for other teas. Only their nobles, like the residents of the East Mainland, regard tasting green tea as their living habits. This person can see from the tea drinking posture and the taste attitude towards tea that he has been drinking green tea for a long time, which can be concluded that he was from the Chidi nobles.

"This is the best green tea produced in Jiangnan County, our empire - Que Tong. The appearance of the tea leaves looks like the tip of a bird's tongue. I brought it back from the imperial capital Zhongzhou. Mr. Special Envoy, it tastes good, right?" Wu Feng also intentionally did not ask about the purpose of Kalong's arrival, and instead talked to him about the tea ceremony.

"It's quiet and fresh, and it's endless aftertaste, and it's true." He closed his eyes halfway and nodded with great pleasure, as if he's still savoring it.

"Entertainment, if you like it, I can give it to you some, but the number is not large." Wufeng rubbed his jaw and said hesitantly.

"You can't give me more than a mansion? You don't know what I'm going to do." Caron also replied pretending to behave.

"Everyone understands the purpose of Mr. Caron, we also know that only those who understand can talk more easily. Do you think it is, Mr. Caron?" Ling Tianfang interrupted without hesitation.

After looking at Ling Tianfang carefully, it seemed that this person was not Yi Yu, "Oh, that's right, I hope our conversation will satisfy both parties." A smile appeared on Carron's face that had been tense. It seemed that these two guys were cunning things. If they wanted to wait until they spoke, they didn't know when they would wait. "Then we can get to the point."

Wufeng also nodded, "Okay, as for the tea ceremony, it's not too late to talk slowly when we finish the main business."

"We king want to know your situation and see if we can form an alliance and jointly deal with Luo Beiren." Caron went straight to the point and went straight to the point.

"Then what situation does your king want to know?" Wufeng asked casually.

"Your overall strength, especially the strength of the army, the support of the people for you, and the situation of defense facilities." Karon's words are as precious as gold.

"As for the people's attitude, I believe Mr. Caron has already understood the combat effectiveness of the army. The war last year has been verified. In terms of defense facilities, Mr. Caron has also seen that we are stepping up construction." Ling Tianfang's few words were slighted.

"I am frank, the support of the people is indeed very high, but I am not completely clear about the strength of your army. Last year's war was very accidental and did not mean anything. As for your defense, it can be said that it is equal to zero now. If the enemy attacks, there will be no resistance." Caron's words were very sharp.

Wufeng also felt that the person in front of him was very sharp, and even he felt it was a bit difficult to hear. But when he thought about it carefully, he was looking at the problem on behalf of the other side and seeing it more clearly and thoroughly. This is the fact, but many times he was unwilling to think about it in a bad way.

"What should Mr. Icaron mean?" Ling Tianfang asked vaguely.

"I want to know your exact situation and decide whether to form an alliance with you." Caron's tone was very firm.
