Chapter 179 Negotiation
"Ah... His Highness, Prince Jing, I have long admired him, long admired him."
At the main entrance of the royal palace, a middle-aged man wearing a green cloud brocade robe was waiting outside the door.
Seeing Liu Jun arrive, he immediately came forward.
"Mr. Xiao, please welcome him if you have any mistakes, and welcome him if you have any mistakes." Liu Jun bowed.
In addition to being Xiao Yushan's eldest son, Xiao Gu is currently serving as the Minister of Rites.
Therefore, Liu Jun is called by his official position.
"Your Highness, you are so kind. In your busy schedule, it is a blessing that your Highness can come to see you."
Xiao Gu smiled and seemed to be looking at the fifteen-year-old King Jing inadvertently.
He really couldn't understand how this young King Jing made such a big change in Jingzhou in two years?
"Please inside." Liu Jun led Xiao Gu to the pavilion in the royal palace garden.
Sitting down opposite each other, the maid presented tea to the two of them.
Liu Jun seemed to say unintentionally: "The road is difficult and dangerous. I wonder what is important when Mr. Xiao comes to Jingzhou this time?"
On the way, the two had exchanged greetings many times.
When Liu Jun mentioned the main topic, he couldn't continue to make excuses and said with a smile: "Rumor is that your highness is quick to speak, and when you see him today, it's true."
He slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I'm not sure about it. This time I came to Jingzhou to congratulate Your Highness, the second was to hope that Your Highness could help the court to fight against the rebellion, and the third was to make a deal with Your Highness."
Liu Jun remained silent, which was almost the same as he expected.
In the current chaos, everyone is clamoring for the right way to be on their own side.
Now everyone wants to attract himself as a foreign player.
But he had already had the next strategy, so he said: "Thank you, Xiao Xiang, is still worried about Jingzhou. Although the battle between the four other governments has won, our Jingzhou is also seriously injured. A few days ago, the officials and generals of Jingzhou still quarreled with me to rest and ask me not to exhaust the people's strength, and even ask me to withdraw the army of Liangzhou."
When Xiao Gu heard this, he would express Liu Jun's intention.
Liu Jun rejected the second item he proposed.
But he thought about it, too.
In the battle between the four outer prefectures, Jingzhou won.
But that was an army of 400,000, not 400,000 pigs, and it was not surprising that Jingzhou won miserably.
"Oh, your highness has been miserable. Before coming down, my father often sighed that if the court had not been tied up by the rebels such as the Han King, Jin King, and Qin King, they would have sent a large army to Jingzhou to help Your Highness." Xiao Gu pretended to be regretful.
"It's a bit hard, but fortunately, Jingzhou is complete. From now on, I can stay in the capital and guard this family business." Liu Jun picked up the teacup, took a sip, and emphasized his position again.
Liu Jun politely refused twice, Xiao Gu laughed and determined Liu Jun's attitude in his heart.
Haha, he continued, "It should be so, it should be so, but it is said that the Jingzhou army defeated the Fuyu people twice, both rely on the power of firearms. It can be seen that Jingzhou's strengths are as dark as today, and rebellions are everywhere. Since Jingzhou has suffered a lot of losses this time, the court naturally cannot reason. I just hope that Your Highness can provide some convenience and allow the court to leverage the power to defeat the bandits."
"Shilarious Minister Xiao is also interested in the firearms in Jingzhou?" Liu Jun chuckled gently. This was the result he wanted.
Xiao Gu nodded slightly, "It's not just a firearm. It would be great if His Highness could also teach the battle formation that defeated the people of Fuyu to the court."
"This is nothing. If the court sincerely wants to trade this firearm with Jingzhou, it would be fine if this battle formation is given away?" Liu Jun looked at Xiao Gu, "I just hope that the court can make some convenience for Jingzhou's business."
After hearing Liu Jun say this, Xiao Gu's eyes lit up.
He was surprised by buying firearms and giving away battle formations.
As for business convenience, it's okay to give it some.
After all, compared to business, the battle formation is still important.
This is a major event related to war.
"That's natural. As the saying goes, give others a cheaper price, give yourself a cheaper price." Xiao Gu said with a smile.
Liu Jun smiled at the same time.
The reason why he sent Jingzhou the original method of fighting formation was not to please the Xiao family, but to make a decision based on the overall situation of Rong Dynasty.
In order to attack Fuyu Kingdom, he taught this set of tactics to Beiyan.
This means that the Northern Yan's tactics surpassed other forces in the Rong Dynasty.
At present, no matter King Han, Xiao Yushan, and Jin, they are all wars within the Rong Dynasty.
Although he was inconsistent with several major forces, he did not want them to be bullied by outsiders.
Give them the battle formation for free, so that while they are fighting in the internal battle, they can also resist the surrounding countries.
In this way, the covetousness of the Rong Dynasty by external forces in the process of civil strife in Rong Dynasty can be minimized.
"Since that's the case, I wonder what kind of firearm Mr. Xiao wants?" Liu Jun turned the topic.
Xiao Gu's eyes turned.
Nowadays, everyone in the Rong Dynasty knows that Jingzhou's firearms are powerful, but they don't know what Jingzhou's firearms look like.
I only know that Beiyan bought firearms and learned the battle formation and could fight with Fuyu Kingdom for a long time.
Thinking of this, he asked back: "I wonder what kind of firearms your highness has? Can you see it next?"
"I have this intention too. Since that's the case, Mr. Xiao, please follow me." Liu Jun stood up.
This time, he needs to go through the process of Beiyan purchasing firearms.
Take Xiao Gu to the schoolyard in Xinghua Garden.
Liu Jun instructed the craftsman to take out the takeaway firearm.
At the same time, a group of soldiers walked into the schoolyard immediately.
In order to sell firearms, Liu Jun specially asked the army to configure an army of 500 people to the Craftsmanship Department.
This army is responsible for escort tasks on weekdays and is also responsible for demonstrating firearms to firearm buyers.
"This is a steel knife made in Jingzhou, this is a spear, this is an armor..."
There were some stone tables on the school ground, and at this time the stone table was filled with various weapons.
In addition to the cots, there are also ordinary cold weapons.
Xiao Gu didn't know much about firearms, but when he saw the steel knives made in Jingzhou, his eyes lit up.
The ordinary long sword on the table in front of him flashed with silver light, especially the blade was silvery and thin.
Looking at the guards behind him who came to Jingzhou, he said, "Take out your knife?"
Upon hearing this, the guard took out the knife and handed it to Xiao Gu.
Turning to Liu Jun, Xiao Gu said, "Your Highness, can you give it a try?"
Liu Jun understood, Xiao Gu wanted to verify which one is weak and which one is stronger than that.
"Please." He moved out of the way and exchanged for a soldier to pick up the steel knife made by Jingzhou.
The reason he set up a steel knife this time was because the primitive battle formation in Jingzhou needed the cooperation of cold weapons.
So they naturally need these, too.
While thinking.
The two of them had already raised their steel knives, and then with a "clang", the two steel knives collided with each other.
Xiao Gu's hand was numb because of the shock. He looked at the long knife in his hand and found a large gap.
However, the gap in the knife in the hands of the soldiers in Jingzhou was very small.
"Good knife, Your Highness, is this just a knife for ordinary soldiers in Jingzhou?" Xiao Gu showed his inquiring eyes.
If even ordinary soldiers in Jingzhou could equip such weapons.
It makes sense that Liu Jun's army is powerful.
ps: One chapter tonight.
I went out for two days during the holidays and I didn’t earn money from this book, so I couldn’t feel depressed.
I owe six chapters in total. I remember the snail and will make up for it this month.
