Chapter 510 Negotiations like nonsense
Qin Ning knew that although he had the highest position in the negotiating team in Lingtu City, the person who had the most say and who could make the second prince make up his mind was Mongolian. {
Therefore, Qin Ning handed over all the negotiation power to the Mongolian side. This is actually not a handover of power, but a true manifestation of a real state.
This made an interesting scene. As the deputy, the Mongolian side was the main leader of the negotiation, while as the chief official, Qin Ning was the deputy of the negotiation.
However, none of these affected the overall situation.
Negotiations are sometimes just arguing and idle.
The first thing to talk about is the issue of the belonging of Soul Yuncheng.
In fact, the Mongolian side knew very well that this could not be won by any means. However, in order to increase the weight of the subsequent negotiations, the Mongolian side still broke off the issue of ownership with the Western Rong.
Xirong Zhan said that Soul Yuncheng was originally the territory of King Yelan. After the battle was brought down, it would have to be re-entered to King Yelan anyway. This is a matter of principle and there is no need to discuss it at all.
The Mongolian side said that since King Yelan has lost the Soul Yun City, this city has no connection with King Yelan. Therefore, it should be considered a masterless thing and should be counted as a spoil shared by both sides and redistributed.
Unexpectedly, just such a question without any suspense, the two sides argued for a whole day.
Qin Ning found it funny, but he had to admire that Mongolia has extremely high talent in negotiations. If it were himself, it would be fine if he persisted for a long time.
The two sides had no substantial progress in the whole day and almost parted ways.
When King Yelan got this news from the Western Rong Zhan, he frowned and continued like this. When will it be?
But Xirong Zhan did not think so. Xirong Zhan instead found the most likely possibility of cooperation because of today's dispute. The other party's asking price was not here, but elsewhere.
This principle is very simple. If the other party is not sincere, he will not be confused about a question without any suspense. In other words, the other party has made sufficient preparations and needs to find it back in other places. In this way, the other party's sincerity in cooperation will increase greatly.
King Ye Lan agreed with the analysis of Xirong Zhan. He reminded Xirong Zhan not to be angry, and could discuss it slowly, and then hand over all matters to Xirong Zhan for handling. Unless it is a principled thing, Xirong Zhan can handle it with full authority.
On the second day of the negotiation, Mongolian's tone became loose, indicating that it could generously accept the proposal of King Yelan to occupy the Soul Yuncheng, which was the second prince.
But in this way, because the two sides were extremely unequal in their interests, they should have suffered heavy bleeding in terms of their manpower and supplies to send troops.
Therefore, the combat troops should be provided by the King Yelan and the materials consumed. They should also be provided by the King Yelan, because the rewards and efforts should be proportional to the efforts.
The Western Rong Zhan was a little angry. According to the Mongolian side, the second prince could gain huge benefits without giving anything, which was simply a pie that fell from the sky.
The Mongolian side explained this. First of all, the second prince did not leave the crowd, but wanted to calculate all the situations. In a straight line distance, Lingtu City is closest to Soul Yun City. Therefore, the Leiyang City army dispatched by King Yelan will inevitably pass through the territory of Lingtu City.
During this period, Lingtu City had to respond to this and use a lot of manpower. How could it be said that it was not working?
The Mongolian side and the Western Rong were blushing in the war. After two days of bargaining like small vendors, the agreement was reached.
The total number of coalition forces between the two sides is no less than 160,000, including the Yelan King's Front Army, 90,000, and the Lingtu City Front Army, 70,000.
This is a regular combat force.
In terms of logistics supply, we adopt their own guarantee methods. However, in Lingtu City, if there are fewer combat troops, the logistics army will be increased accordingly. After all, if the Yelan King's troops dispatch a large number of logistics troops, they will suffer a lot.
Within the control of Lingtu City, Lingtu City also provides sufficient human support. It sends guides to transport and supplies supplies.
The two sides first sent their troops, and waited until the river of despair, and then gathered together to discuss the issue of jointly attacking the Soul Yun City.
The three-day supply of troops and materials was finally resolved, and then the two sides had a fierce debate on coordination and command.
There is no doubt that the Western Rong Zhan was the supreme commander of the Leiyang City Front Army, while the Lingtu City Front Army was the second prince's nominal commander, and the Qin Ning military advisor was specifically responsible for military affairs.
In terms of the candidate for the president of the coalition forces, Xirong Zhan insisted on being the member of the Leiyang City Front Army, that is, himself. The reason is that the number of soldiers in Leiyang City Front Army is large, so it should be led by the Leiyang City Front Army.
The Mongolian side insisted that commander is a symbol of status. Since the second prince is on the front line, the commander is naturally the second prince.
Qin Ning really admired these two negotiators. For such a question, both sides cited the scriptures and aided the scriptures without any repetitions. They had been entangled for a whole day without any concessions.
Finally, Qin Ning felt that it was really unworthy to be entangled on this issue, so he proposed a compromise plan. The president, with a false title, had no power to make decisions. The person who was really responsible for the action plan of the entire coalition was the deputy commander of different forces.
When formulating a combat plan, all deputy commanders must participate and a consensus resolution can be implemented.
In this way, the issue of the position of the president will be solved easily, and the Western Rong War will not fight for this nameless position. This empty position will be held by the second prince.
After solving this problem, we will enter the most intense negotiation process and the issue of interest distribution.
Soul Yun City has been frozen as a spoil for the Yelan King, and there is no room for negotiation. However, the two sides had a fierce confrontation on the compensation received by the second prince.
The Mongolian Lion spoke out loudly, proposing that in addition to compensating for the second prince’s war damage this time and the last time, the taxes in Hunyun City in the next fifty years should be compensated.
Xirong Zhan's face was blushing and his neck was thick, and he retorted on the spot that the Mongolian side had no sincerity asking price. Fifty years of tax revenue was simply a robbery without a bottom line. In other words, after King Yelan occupied the Soul Yuncheng City, he vainly gave the profits of the Soul Yuncheng City for fifty years to the second prince. This could not be agreed to anyway.
Mongolian has listed various possibilities in its fifty years of tax revenue, saying that only in this way can the second prince pay the price.
In this link, another day wasted.
Then, during the second day of discussing the ownership of taxes, the Mongolian side lowered the tax revenue of the second prince to 30 years. However, Xirong Zhan said that such a result was still unacceptable.
Qin Ning has his own judgment. The bottom line given by the second prince is fifteen years. Both sides should reach an agreement in the two or three-year solid line above this range.
However, even with the bottom line of guidance, the two sides still negotiated like arguing.
On the third day of tax negotiations, Mongolia reduced the deadline to twenty years. The Western Rong Zhan looked very sincere. I hope Mongolia would reduce it again, otherwise I would not be able to explain to King Yelan.
Qin Ning knew that the negotiation was coming to an end, and both sides had raised their respective interests to the limit. Under the continuous tentative negotiations, both sides adjusted their bottom line and the result would probably be soon.
On the fourth day, finally, the two sides reached an agreement on the issue of the second prince's tax payment for 17 years. The entire negotiation also ended perfectly.
After nearly ten days of negotiations, the Mongolian side's eye sockets fell. The outstanding general of the Western Rong Zhan also lost a lot of weight. It can be imagined that the negotiations are a super consumption for both sides.
The two sides signed a joint agreement and reached an intention to send troops together.
The Mongolian side's work has come to an end, but the Western Rong Zhan still has to continue to discuss it, because in terms of the specific coordination of the specific troops sent, the Western Rong Zhan still has to give specific opinions.
The Lingtu City has been replaced, but it has been replaced by Qin Ning, but the West Rong battle is still the battle of King Yelan.
However, the specific plan for sending troops is not as difficult as interest negotiations. Qin Ning and Xirong Zhan are both experts in the military command in this field, and there will be amazing agreement on many issues. Even if there are differences, the two sides will briefly explain the reasons and will soon be able to compromise.
In just half a day, Qin Ning and the Western Rong battle formulated relevant matters for the coordinated dispatch of troops.
With such achievements, Qin Ning and Meng Fang returned to Lingtu City.
The second prince was quite satisfied with the results of the negotiations. After listening to Qin Ning's report on the coordinated march, the second prince immediately appointed Qin Ning as the commander-in-chief of the Lingtu City Front and specifically implemented the coalition agreement reached.
Lingtu City immediately became lively again, as usual, assigning defenders, ordering all the personnel to go on expedition, logistics supply, etc., a series of almost clichés.
After more than ten days of busy work, after receiving news from Leiyang City, the Lingtu City Front Army, commanded by the Second Prince, set off in a mighty manner, and the military advisor Qin Ning.
The one who fought in front was Lu Ling, who was kissed by Qin Ning. Lu Ling led 5,000 people to open the road in front of him and build bridges in the water.
Because of the last marching, this marching should actually be a revisit in the old place. Lu Ling did not encounter any difficulties. He sang and advanced all the way, crossed the Panlong Ridge of Jiuqugou, crossed the Yingchou Ferry, and finally set up a camp by the river of despair.
The 65,000 troops led by the second prince and Qin Ning also met with Lu Ling's vanguard camp five days later. The 70,000 troops were waiting for the arrival of the Western Rong battle by the River of Despair.
After waiting for six days, the Leiyang City Front Army led by the Xirong Zhan also arrived at the river of despair as scheduled and joined forces with the second prince.
During this period, Qin Ning used a communicator to get a secret contact with Mu Xiongtian. Qin Ning told Mu Xiongtian that this time he encouraged the second prince and Ye Lan King to come to attack Hunyun City, and was determined to consume the vitality of these two giants with seven-star iron walls. Mu Xiongtian must cooperate well.
If you want to severely damage these two forces, you should not be impatient.
We must adopt the method of cutting flesh with a blunt knife and eliminate it slowly. Otherwise, we will suffer a huge loss from the beginning, and it is likely that these two companies will retreat. We will not be able to consume these two companies. At the same time, we will have the effect of knocking down the mountains and making other forces dare not act rashly.
Therefore, Qin Ning instructed Mu Xiongtian not to cause serious damage in the early attack of the Leiyang City coalition forces in Lingtu City, but to give some sweetness. In this way, the coalition forces would be unable to stop and would eventually be unable to escape the fate of being severely damaged.
Mu Xiongtian carefully wrote down Qin Ning's arrangements and said that he would definitely fight according to Qin Ning's arrangements.
But what Qin Ning didn't expect was that the second prince and the Western Rong joined forces and had no intention of moving troops for a long time.
On the contrary, the two of them always talk about military affairs together, but some customs and customs from all over the country. These two people don’t seem to be coming to fight at all, but they seem to be coming to travel. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
