Law of the Devil

The second two hundred and sixty-three chapters [one stone three birds]

Poor Hamuye was thrown by Du Wei for two days. Hanmuye was extremely angry at the beginning, but he did not lose to an experienced politician. After that, he controlled his anger very well, and even severely ordered him to provoke trouble in the Duke's house.

Otherwise, the rude prairie warriors of his men followed, and after a sigh of relief, I was afraid to fight with the guards of the Duke’s house.

Now, under the strict orders of Hamuye, these grassland people are still safe. However, the imperial envoys of the country, even have to pay for their own pockets, send people out to go to the restaurants around to buy food every day... This kind of treatment, I am afraid that the past is also the first time.

At the time, the restaurants around the Duke’s House, after being hinted by the Duke’s adults, faced the “fat sheep” that were sent to the door, and they tripled the price, which was a small profit.

"They were very honest these two days." Du Wei stood on the tower and hid behind the window sill, looking at the tents below. The warriors of the prairie are kept outside the tent. Hanmuye is very honest and boring in the tent every day. Instead, he sends people to routinely ask Mard every day. "The Duke’s adult is not finished, the magic test is over, can you start the talks?" .

Every time the other person asks, Mard will perfunctoryly answer: "After the Dukes are busy, they will come to see you."

However, afterwards, it will be added intentionally or unintentionally: "The Duke said that the agreement drafted before, please ask the guests to think more. Anyway, nothing happened recently, if you have any constructive opinions, you may wish to give up. Clearly, after the duke adults have met, they can come up immediately and not waste both time."

That means: We are asking for the price, you pay back the money, but in the end you still have to open the conditions.

However, it seems that Hamuye is not in a hurry, and seems to have saved his determination to consume Duwei.

"It seems that it is not much effective to irritate him." Du Wei sighed and looked at Phillips around him: "What other tricks do you have?"

Philip thought for a moment and smiled: "Adults, we are nothing more than testing the other side's bottom line. It seems that these two days. In fact, the results are already good."

Du Wei licked his nose and nodded. "You are right. If the prairie is really tough, we are so slow, he can't help it. It seems that they don't want to fight."

"I shouldn’t want to fight, but this time, after all, they are losing money. Their army has come to our territory. It’s their fault anyway. It’s just that they don’t want to make any compensation. I don't want to fight, so the prairie is willing to do so."

"So... can we be tougher?" Du Wei touched his chin and smiled awkwardly.

"I feel almost the same." Philip is worried: "After all, we have no strength to really fight now. If you really provoke the other party..."

"You can always get some benefits and compensation." Du Wei shook his head.

There is nothing too good about Philip's aides. This dragging word is already a good strategy. Anyway, I don't want to fight. The other party did not want to fight, and they had a "harsh" condition, which was already very tough. To the outside world, both the main warring faction and the main and the faction have nothing to say to Du Wei.

Or... brainstorming?

Du Wei also understands that three stinkers are better than Zhuge Liang. Although Philip has grown incredibly, but after all, the problem is still partial to the orthodoxy, and the sword is sinister and evil, not his good at it.

As a last resort, Du Wei simply asked some of his generals to discuss.

Longbottom. Dardanelle, and even the brave little two hundred and five Gaida in the battle of Giliate (now promoted to Lombard's deputy), Uncle Alpha, old smoke chief, and so on...

"To find everyone today, is to discuss how to deal with this Hanmuye." Du Wei looked at the few military commanders under his arm and smiled: "I know, this kind of political strategy. Not everyone's good. But... brainstorming, Maybe our way of thinking is too routine. You can have any whimsy."

A few thick-lined generals thought about it for a while, but the little one was two hundred and five, and Gaida was the first to speak.

The man looked murderous and lowered his voice: "Dukes adults... They don't send people to the city every day, we can send people to pretend to be thieves or local snakes, and they will teach their people a lesson and hurt a few If you need to kill someone, see if this guy can still hold his breath!"

Du Wei looked at this little two hundred and fifty-one eyes, reluctantly sighed and picked up a pen to give a small two hundred and five: "General Gaida, holding this pen, there is a corner, you go there Let's play circles..."

Then Du Wei looked at Longbottom: "Dear General, do you have any suggestions?"

"Otherwise, find someone to pretend to be an assassin, to assassinate this Hanmuye, poison or assassination... This guy is very difficult, even if he doesn't really kill him, let him be seriously injured or seriously ill, the prairie Send a messenger, maybe you have to deal with it."

Du Wei stared at Lombard and glanced at him. He also handed him a pen and pointed to the corner: "Dear general, you go to Gedada to paint together..."

When Du Wei looked at the old smoke, the old smoke had not waited for Du Wei to open his mouth, and he smiled bitterly: "Adult... I will give you a pen for trouble."

After thinking about it for a while, Dardaner suddenly said: "Maybe... I have a way. However, I am afraid that General Longbotton will cooperate."

"Oh?" Du Wei's eyes lit up.

Dardanelle then spoke a weird idea:

"Nammuye is not willing to speak now, everyone is competing with patience. The Duke of the Lord is hanging out with him, the strategy is to the ground. But Hanmuye is not a fool, we are now the key is not enough in the hands, he also I understand that the empire is not willing to go to war. So we are hanging out again, and he is also fearless. And we are not good at dragging down every day.

grown ups. with all due respect. In this negotiation, everyone does not want to fight, so at least the two sides are unified opinions on this point. Then there are two of the biggest problems.

First of all, we can't offend the landlords of the emperor! Therefore, the peace talks are to be talked about. But it is best for the other party to come up with 'and' instead of us. If we take the initiative to seek peace, then the main warring faction of the Imperial Capital, I am afraid will blame the adults for your weak sales. Leave a stain on your future political career. It is best for the other party to propose "summing", so that we are willing to be tough and accept. Above public opinion, it will also be supported. The other party gave us a step, and we took advantage of the situation. The main warring faction of the Imperial Capital did not attack us. ”

Du Wei’s eyes flashed a smile. I took a deep look at Dardanelle: "Go ahead."

Daddani coughed and continued: "I was the first, now I said the second... Hey, this second problem is the benefit! In terms of reason, this time the other party is losing money. Peace of mind, it should be the price of the other party to pay some compensation. The more compensation the other party pays, then the adults, as the messenger of the negotiations, will have more face. Say it out. Let the prairie people bow their heads and you can earn a reputation. And the political achievements. But the problem now is that the other party does not seem to want to pay any price. I just want to delay. He knows that we can't fight. So we will be tough and he will not be afraid. This Hanmuye's plan is estimated. If you don't want to pay for anything, you want to take this thing back to the past. But this is the case, the adult you are the messenger. But no compensation is required, but it is too much to say. How to let the other party pay the price. We have no advantage to fish, it is absolutely impossible."

Du Wei smiled even more strangely: "Well, the two questions you said are actually one: how can the grassland people take the initiative to seek peace and pay compensation."

Dadaniel smiled eccentrically, rubbed his head and smiled. "The words mean this. But... there must be something wrong, this thing, if we just ask for compensation, they must not. It is not as good as... ...in the way of exchange! Make a deal with the other party. As long as the transaction content, we take advantage of it. The actual benefits, that is."

Du Wei nodded and looked at Dardanelle: "You don't have to cover up, just say it, what do you think about it?"

"Do you forget the adults? On the grassland, there is also an empire's cavalry division! The army of 20,000 cavalry, although not too much, is not too small! The empire spends a lot of money every year to feed such a cavalry. The main expenses are all wasted on long-distance replenishment. For the grassland people, the army stationed on the grassland is also a stab in their eyes, and the nails in the flesh. In my opinion... this one The army, there is really no sense of existence! It is better to... withdraw!"

When this was said, Longbottom suddenly screamed and glared at Dardanelle: "What do you say! Withdraw?! You are joking! If there is no army of two thousand people, above the grasslands Those guys, when they start doing things, they are even more unscrupulous!"

Dadani smiled and looked at Longbotton. He was not flustered: "General, if you were the commander of the army on the grassland, the prairie might still be scrupulous under your prestige. ...... But now, according to my news, the effect of the two thousand people is very limited! The general who succeeded you later is far worse than you. The two thousand people are disgusting and disgusting. In addition, it is not very useful, and it consumes a lot of military expenses every year! It is not ridiculous to feed a military corps to support the 20,000 soldiers. Isn’t it ridiculous? 20,000 people commander, with your means and the army, I will not hesitate to continue to raise these two thousand people! Even if I spend a military unit, I think it is worth it! But now... it is not worth it. It!"

Longbottom was silent for a while, although some of his heart did not want to admit it, but he had to sigh: Dardanelle said it was indeed good.

"To negotiate such a thing, we must not ask for it. If we want the other party to make a big step, we must make a small step first. We are waiting for the other party to give us a step. Maybe he is waiting for us to give him a step. "Daddalil thought of this, thought about it, said: "I think this thing is an excellent opportunity for the Duke adults! We can put forward the conditions: withdraw the two people from the grassland! Of course... ... withdrawing the transaction. It must not be open! This kind of thing can only be a secret transaction. Otherwise, it is said that those people who do not know the truth and the emperor are in public opinion, I am afraid that they will all be turned into traitors! We can secretly and withdraw the other side. And on the face of the name, they are required to pay compensation."

"What else?" Du Wei smiled and looked at Dardanelle.

"And... I think if you can take the opportunity to put the two thousand cavalry in your hands... that's the best! I heard that the emperor's commander-in-chief, in fact, has long since revoked two thousand. The cavalry’s mind is. After all, the cost of military expenditure is too large, and the actual effect is low... If we take the opportunity to propose... we will receive the two thousand people...”

"No, no!" The small two hundred and five Gaida shook his head: "Overview the empire's millennium history. Only the private army was incorporated into the official army! Where the official army was smashed into a private army! This kind of thing, the military will never agree. !"

Dadaniel smiled and said: "So I said that this matter depends on General Longbotton! We can't directly say that we should accept the two thousand people for the emperor. After all, an official army is smashed into a lord. The army, this is also too shameful in name. The military sergeants will never want to lose this face. Therefore, we may wish to say to the emperor: The Duke of Tulips is faithful to the country and willing to bear the military expenses of these two thousand people! At the same time, when the military applied for it, it said that Desa’s military power was insufficient and it was located in the frontier, and there was a shortage of troops. Therefore, they were asked to order the troops of the two thousand people to be stationed in our province of Desa. Officials! Adults, you think, as long as the army of these two people stays on our territory. Their food and clothing are all provided by us, and we are pinched to death! Time is a long time, slowly It will be controlled by us. Although it is nominally an official, it has actually become your private army."

Du Wei's eyes are deeper and deeper.

Dardaniel finally looked at Longbotton again and smiled bitterly: "There is still a detail... I am afraid that General Longbotton will be sacrificed."

"what……"

"I know that the generals hate the Imperial Military Command. I have vowed never to return to the military. But... in order to help the Duke adults to complete the Northwestern Business. This time you have to break the vows." Dardanelle looked around. Looking at Du Wei: "Duke of the Duke, you only have to ask you to bear all the military expenses, and at the same time you write a official document in your name. The letter only says that you are faithful to the country, and for the empire, you will not give up your love." Trying to protect General Longbotton as the commander of this cavalry! The Imperial Army has long been ruined by military expenses. It will certainly promise you! At that time...the two thousand are here, the soldiers are taking us The army is...and, together, General Longbotton was originally the old chief of the army. With his prestige, he will soon be able to regain control of these two people! Even though their flag is a thorn flower... but the heart, already It’s a tulip!”

At last. Dardaniel concluded: "Actually, we do this, the Imperial Army and the Regent King must know our intentions. However, once the Regent King favored the Duke adults, this time it was made clear. You are fully responsible. The burden of the two thousand people, the emperor has long wanted to get rid of it! So, in such a disguised collection, the emperor military commander does not lose face, but also can smash a big bag, most of which will promise! People, we are forced to withdraw the military, let them compromise, on the contract of negotiations, tell them a lot of bleeding, it is much easier to think of it! And the Duke adults, you have completed the negotiations, not the Empire, but also I got a 20,000-strong iron-riding male soldier! One stone and three birds! Why not do it?"

This time, I’m talking about it, everyone around me is stunned! Even Philip, looking at Dardanelle with a look of surprise.

This Dardanelle is quiet in the weekdays. Although it is a responsibility to be a city guard, it is just a matter of calmness. I did not expect that he actually had this kind of talent, can you come up with this kind of strategy?

Du Wei, smirked two times, faintly said: "In this case, let's try it. Philip, you will help me draft a letter to the emperor... Well, everyone else is gone, Dardanelle Stay, let's talk about this thing."

When the people were sent away, there was only Du Wei and Da Daniel in the room. Du Wei sighed. Gazing at Dardanelle, whispered: "My friend... this strategy, I am afraid you are not coming out!"

Dardaniel smiled and said: "The Duke is a good person. I don't have such a good mind. Dad... This strategy is the Marquise who wants to come out. She knows that most of you have been negotiating recently. I was troubled by things, so I called out to me last night and told me this way. Let me find an opportunity to report it to you. She said that she is an outsider and a woman after all, and this is a national event that is not easy to speak directly."

Du Wei seemed to be a little absent-minded, and he said nothing.

What Dardanil suddenly thought of, his face changed slightly, and suddenly he squatted on one knee: "Adult. Are you blaming me again? I have loyalty to you, only to convey these words, not to Liszt. The family has a crush on the heart. It is purely that the Marquise’s plan is very subtle and willing to convey. I have never been half-hearted since I became loyal to you.

Du Wei quickly put his hands on this old friend, and sincerely said: "My friend, you misunderstood. We are both a life of friendship. How can I have a slight doubt about you? I was absent-minded, Just feeling the wisdom of the Marquise. Such a strategy is really powerful. Although she is a woman, she is very admired! With a woman, she can manage the Lisz family to the present size, the Marquise... Don't dare to take a nap!"

After a pause, Du Wei looked at Dardanelle: "Well, this way, the Marquise gave me such a good idea. I can't say nothing. You help me, thank her, ask if she has What can help things. Um... In the future, our family’s business in the North, and the Liszt family’s transactions, will let the price go up.”

Dardanelle smiled slightly: "I think the Marquise is probably not very concerned about the money. The Lisz family was originally rich... Well, adults, if you want to express your gratitude, you may wish to see the Marquise in person."

“Hey!” Du Wei said with a smile: “Daddanier. Do you want to marry our two marriages together?”

Dardanelle said: "Adult. I really think so, but it is not because I was born in Liszt. So I have a selfish heart. I just think that you are in the world, the world is rare. And the Marquis Madame is glamorous... Hey, although there are some gaps in age, I see that the Marquise is very sincere to you and really help you. If the two marriages are combined, it will be of great benefit to your great cause."

Du Wei patted Dadarier's shoulder: "I understand that you are not selfish, I know. Um...just, my marriage... I don't want to settle this early. And...politics I don’t like this marriage. In fact, apart from marriage, I am very willing to cooperate fully with the Liszt family. Is it necessary to have a marriage channel?

Dardaniel shook his head, apparently disagreeing with Du Wei's point of view. He said: "Although this is your private matter. But you are a duke and have different identities. Marriage is naturally important! IMHO, if you It’s just a civilian. It’s natural to be a private person. But as a lord, your marriage is no longer a mere private matter. It seems that your marriage with the Liszt family is the best. Choosing... In fact, I don’t want to say anything to you. Although you haven’t said anything in the mouth, most of them are in favor of your marriage with the Liszt family. I used to talk to Mr. Phillips, even he’s faintly revealed. The meaning of approval. Just everyone knows your thoughts about Master Wei Wei'an... I am embarrassed to say it. And... adults, to be honest, you have already done adulthood! In the empire, most of the aristocratic status Early marriage, after the rite of marriage, most will get married. Even if you are not married, you will first set up a marriage contract. And your status is outstanding, but there is not even a marriage contract... This is not suitable."

Du Wei is silent.

Dadaniel’s face is sincere, and it’s clear that he’s talking about it.

It’s just that Du Wei’s own affairs are known to the family.

He is not a pure boy. For women, he doesn't mind coming to a couple of nights. Not even a conservative person. Mrs. Liszt is glamorous and moving, of course he is tempted. However, most of them are only tempting for the beauty of the Marquise, purely the desire of the flesh. If you play with you, you can accept it as a lover.

marry? Then forget it.

The only thing that made him want to live with his life, only the simple and innocent little stutter.

As for last night, I almost took the Ai Lu female prisoner to the local Fa-rectification, but at the crucial time I let go. It is also a kind of inexplicable love for Vivian.

More importantly, although Du Wei is not an innocent faction, it is not the kind of animal that can't control his lower body.

The female assassin last night, it was not a big deal. The problem is... After the reversal, how can the troubles be solved?

After all, the other party is a snowy mountain person, or a disciple of the Witch King. I have enough troubles now. If I "stained" a Witch King disciple, the troubles that came at that time were not small!

Mom... When someone else has passed, they can be beautiful, but Laozi is playing pure love. It’s ridiculous to say it.

Mrs. Liszt... Mrs. Liszt...

Du Wei thought and thought again, and suddenly smiled: "In this way, let you convey my gratitude to me. It is indeed not sincere. So, let people go to see the Marquise, and say that I want to invite her to dinner tonight."
