Gao Kan doesn't know much about negotiation skills, but he knows how to take advantage of the situation...
After pondering for a while, he shook his head and said: "The Duke of Zhao favors the commander-in-chief so much. As his subordinates, we are honored, but this is not enough."
Yu Wenshiji did not expect that Gao Kan had such a big appetite and was not satisfied with such conditions, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "It's not that we don't want to give more, it's because all the properties inside and outside the city have been sealed up, and we can't get anything substantial."
, we can only express Guanlong’s sincerity through marriage.”
He doesn't think Fang Jun cares more about money. Even if those long-established families are included, how many people can match Fang Jun's wealth?
Fang Junsu has the ability to turn stone into gold, and his title as the "God of Wealth" is by no means unearned. How can a man who is so rich care about money?
That was not what Gao Kan was thinking about. He looked at Yuwen Shiji and said slowly: "I heard that after the Duke of Ying reconciled with the former Sui Nanyang Princess, he was married to the head of Shouguang County and had several children. The youngest daughter has just grown hairpins.
Not yet married..."
"What do you mean?!"
Yu Wenshiji's gentle smile suddenly disappeared, and his face was like the bottom of a pot. If he hadn't asked for help at this moment, he almost wanted to kick over the table and walk away.
A daughter from the eldest grandson's family is not enough, but you still care about my daughter from the Yuwen family?
This is simply unreasonable!
"Hey! Why is Mr. Ying so angry? The daughter of the Yuwen family can marry, but why can't the daughter of the Yuwen family marry?"
Gao Kan smiled and appeased Yu Wenshi: "It's not that the general is greedy, but the future of the eldest son's family is not good. The failure of the mutiny has affected all the families in Guanlong. Even if he is forgiven by His Highness the Crown Prince afterwards, will Zhao Guogong still be able to maintain Guanlong?"
The identity of the leader is not yet known. If his status drops suddenly, what good will it do for our commander-in-chief to marry his daughter apart from being criticized? On the contrary, Duke Ying, you are of noble birth and high moral character. If you can marry my family,
Isn't it true that the marriage of the commander-in-chief is a combination of two swords, each getting what he needs?"
He was not optimistic about the prospects of Changsun Wuji. He committed such a major crime of treason and deserved any punishment. Although the prince had to use his influence to control the Guanlong clan due to the current situation, so as to fight against the clans in Jiangnan and Shandong, but
Once the situation stabilizes, it will be difficult for the prince not to settle old scores.
At that time, Changsun Wuji will have to shed his skin even if he is not dead, so what value will it have?
Once Changsun Wuji is completely overthrown, he will naturally be replaced by Yuwen Shiji. The prince will rely on Guanlong to fight against Jiangnan. The powerful families in Shandong and Yuwen Shiji will still be standing in the court...
Yu Wenshiji was so angry that his beard stood up: "My wife is the head of Datang County, and my daughter is naturally the daughter of the clan. What are your intentions in wanting her to be someone's concubine?"
Gao Kan was not afraid of his intimidation, and said quietly: "You can't charge this crime randomly. The general just made a suggestion. Not to mention whether you agree or not, it is not certain whether the commander will agree or not."
Do you really think your daughter is precious?
It still depends on whether the commander is willing...
Yuwen Shiji's face was red with anger, but he was thinking about the feasibility of this proposal. It is indeed humiliating for the daughter of the Yuwen family to be a concubine, but what if the other party is Fang Jun? After the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely be a royal family member.
If Youlong's powerful officials in the court can be tied up through marriage, it will be a great help for him to control the Guanlong clan after Changsun Wuji.
Moreover, although this matter is a bit embarrassing, Xiao Yu has already done it before, sending a daughter with Nanliang royal blood to the Fang family to be a concubine, and Changsun Wuji will also follow in his footsteps... When it is his turn, he will probably have already
No one cares anymore, right?
If one person does something embarrassing, it will naturally cause a fuss and draw ridicule from the world, but if it is done to many people, everyone will probably get used to it...
In addition, Gao Kan's last words are also very reasonable. Even if Changsun Wuji wants to marry his legitimate daughter into the Fang family as a concubine, it depends on whether Fang Jun is willing, let alone Yuwen Shiji?
It's just that his previous plan was to marry his daughter into the royal family. No matter what, he had to marry a prince as his concubine, but now he has to marry Fang Jun as his concubine. The gap is a bit big...
After weighing it in his mind, he nodded and said: "The general's words are reasonable. I should leave this matter alone and wait until I meet the Duke of Yue to discuss it in detail."
Gao Kan stood up, put his pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of Yu Wenshiji, and said with a smile: "You are talking nonsense, and I would like to ask the Duke of Ying to write a letter. I will send someone to submit it to the commander-in-chief, begging the commander-in-chief to make a decision, otherwise I will not
How dare you disobey the military order and resist Lu Guogong's army on behalf of the nobles and nobles of Guanlong?"
Yuwen Shiji was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed angrily.
Who said that Gao Kan has no scheming in his talk? Look at this cunning look, he has Fang Jun's demeanor that looks simple and honest, but is actually cunning!
Holding the brush in his hand, he was a little hesitant to write. If this was written down, it would be irreversible and there was no way to regret it. If he wanted to marry his daughter to someone else, Fang Jun could even send someone to snatch her away.
, even if the lawsuit goes to Jingzhao Mansion, others will win...
But if he hadn't written this letter, Gao Kan would never have stopped Cheng Yaojin. When the Zuowuwei army attacked Dayun Temple in one fell swoop, Guan Long's remaining wealth, together with all the noble Guan Long who had escaped here, would be captured.
The whole nest is finished...
With a long sigh, he dipped his brush in ink and wrote this letter. The main idea was that Changsun Wuji and he were willing to marry their legitimate daughter to Fang Jun and form a good relationship between Qin and Jin...
Putting down his pen, Yuwen Shiji sat there with complicated thoughts, watching Gao Kan put away the letter paper, blow dry it, put it into an envelope, seal it with wax, and then ordered someone to quickly send it to Youtunwei Camp.
Then he called in a few of his lieutenants and ordered: "The entire army must assemble and hold their own positions. No one is allowed to step into the camp, but any trespassers will be shot without mercy!"
"Here!"
Several captains withdrew, shouts came from outside the tent, and orders were issued to every position. All the soldiers of the Youtun Guards clenched their swords and stood ready.
Gao Kan then returned and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Ying, the general who will guard this place will definitely be impregnable."
Yu Wenshi nodded. He was sure of this. The Zuowu Guards were indeed elite, but the Youtun Guards had been campaigning north and west for the past two years. The opponents were all powerful armies in the world, but they had never been defeated. Even though they traveled thousands of miles across the Western Regions,
It can also defeat powerful enemies such as Tuyuhun, Turks, and cannibals. After rushing to Chang'an, it can also kill the Guanlong army with ten times the strength and retreat.
As long as Gao Kan is willing, no one can break it if he sticks to this place.
He stood up and clasped his fists and said: "It's over here. I still want to reply to Duke Zhao. I'll take my leave for now. I'll leave it to the general to stop Zuo Wuwei."
Gao Kan was about to see each other off when suddenly the soldiers outside rushed in and shouted: "General, the vanguard light cavalry of Zuowuwei has arrived in front of the formation, and the main force will follow soon!"
Yu Wenshiji's heart tightened. Cheng Yaojin was really determined to fight for the Shandong family, and he came so quickly...
Gao Kan said: "Since a powerful enemy has arrived, Duke Ying might as well wait a moment and wait until the general blocks Zuowu Wei before returning to the mountain?"
Yu Wenshiji thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's very good."
He was also worried. If Cheng Yaojin promised Gao Kan some benefits and Gao Kan changed his mind, it would be troublesome...
He called the servant who was accompanying him to him, spoke a few words carefully, and ordered him to report the negotiations to Changsun Wuji. Then he and Gao Kan came to the front of the army under an umbrella.
…
The sky was dark, covered with clouds, and light rain was falling.
Looking forward from the right guard position, a long dragon composed of torches meanders forward in the distance. In front of the position, a light cavalry unit of more than a thousand people is two arrows away. A fast horse ranks out of the crowd and arrives at the right guard position in a moment.
In front of the garrison position, a captain immediately stood still and shouted loudly: "I am Sun En, the captain of Lu Guogong's account. I rushed to Dayun Temple to hunt down the murderers on the order of Lu Guogong. Please get out of the way. Zuo Wu
All the superiors and subordinates of the guard accept this sentiment and will repay it later!"
Gao Kan and Yu Wenshiji stood in the formation, heard the words clearly, and introduced: "This person is the brother-in-law of Lu Guogong. He is a brave warrior. He has always been trusted by Lu Guogong and allowed him to command his cavalry."
Yu Wenshi nodded.
Cheng Yaojin's first wife, whose surname was Sun, died of illness at an early age. Later, he married the daughter of "Cui family of Qinghe" and became one of the banners of the Shandong family in the court. He knew these anecdotes, since Cheng Yaojin's brother-in-law's surname was
Sun, that must be the brother of his deceased wife...
In the Youtun Guard Formation, a man stepped forward and replied: "My general has ordered to block the mountain road and not allow anyone to pass. No matter what your army is doing, we dare not disobey the military order. Please turn around quickly, otherwise if
Anyone who dares to charge into the formation will be shot without mercy!"
This man was eloquent, full of energy, and his tone was very tough, and his arrogance was clearly revealed.
Yu Wenshiji was convinced that among the entire Tang army, the Youtun Guards were probably the only ones who dared to so clearly reject Cheng Yaojin's Zuowu Wei.
But the arrogance of Youtunwei has been gathered through one great victory after another, so naturally he is full of confidence...
Sun En said loudly: "The clan of Guanlong clan conspired against it first, raised troops to cause chaos, disrupted the imperial court, and tortured the people. This is an unforgivable crime! As a member of the East Palace, you have also fought bloody battles with it. You should have a hatred as deep as the sea.
Why are you willing to act as a watchdog and support it? It is shameless for the world!"
As soon as this statement came out, the guards in Youtun were so angry that they started shouting and cursing.
Not only did he nock an arrow from his bow, he also shot out an arrow. The arrow flew across the night sky and landed a few feet in front of Sun En. Although it did not pose a threat, its tough attitude was fully demonstrated.
"Everything we do is based on orders. If you dare to speak evil words again, you will be killed without mercy! Retreat quickly and don't make any noise!"
A captain of the Youtun Guards shouted loudly.
Sun En didn't waste any time, turned his horse and ran back to his own formation. Then a group of more than a thousand cavalry slowly retreated, retreated for a distance and then stood still. Apparently they sent someone to ask Cheng Yaojin for instructions.
Gao Kan watched the cavalry of Zuo Wuwei retreating from a distance, and asked the captain beside him: "Where is the right Houwei now?"
The captain replied: "We are thirty miles to the east, and we are about to cross the Ba River."
Gao Kan said: "Send a team of cavalry to prevent him from crossing the river. He said that this place is guarded by our right garrison. Anyone who dares to set foot nearby and makes us feel threatened will definitely be struck with thunder!"
"Here!"
The captain immediately galloped away, and a moment later, a group of cavalry left their position and galloped eastward.
