The most intelligent general in the world

But you should know that the power of our three alliances is not inferior to your Lanming Mountain, right?"

The Sword King's estimation was unexpectedly accurate, but this might be a carefully designed trap.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on the negotiator's forehead, and this tiny movement was keenly captured by the Sword King.

He knew that he had touched the other party's sore spot, that there was truth in his words, and that he had the advantage in the game, and there was a great possibility that he could force the other party to come to him.

Even if this cannot be achieved, at least one can take control of the initiative when forming an alliance, making the other party a chess piece in one's layout and the vanguard of battle.

Facing the pressure from the Sword King, the man forced himself to remain calm and said, "The truth is not as you expected. The power of Lanming Mountain alone cannot compete with your three alliances.

But you may not have heard that we have already merged with the other two major forces. Our gang leader values ​​every brother, so those two gangs have now merged with us, not just an alliance. "

An alliance is not a merger. The former may easily collapse when the interests of one party are affected, because it is only maintained by common interests rather than deep-rooted trust.

A merger is completely different. It means that one party has surrendered to the other, and the ruling power belongs entirely to the highest authority, who must act according to his will no matter what happens.

If the supreme leader had not misjudged the overall situation, the remaining forces would have found it difficult to resist his control and establish their own factions.

Those who negotiated with Mingdao tried to intimidate him by using the fragility of the alliance, but this made Mingdao wary instead.

After hearing this, Mingdao realized that if he cooperated or formed an alliance with the other party, the dominant power might be transferred to others, because the other party had concentrated power, and he could only unite the other two factions and could not have full control.

Once there is a dispute, the alliance may not support you, which is the most worrying thing.

Although we are slightly more powerful, our opponents are closely-knit interest groups, which makes cooperation complicated and requires careful consideration.

The man thought Ming Dao was beginning to seriously consider it, but he raised his head and said bluntly: "To be honest, I don't have much intention to cooperate with your small group.

Tell me, if I kill you now, what can your boss do to me?"

This made the younger brother sweat profusely: "Boss, if you do it here, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Liang interrupted and said, "In a situation of balance of power, it is obviously not a wise move to choose not to cooperate but to provoke disputes. I don't think your allies will agree with this decision."

The famous sword that was about to intimidate the opponent was aroused by Zhang Liang's response. He turned to look at Zhang Liang and said, "If you don't say anything, I will almost ignore you.

I heard that you are very eloquent. Now it seems that the rumors are true. Do you want to have your tongue cut off?"

I was very distressed by Zhang Liang's sudden interruption. I finally got the famous sword, but something unexpected happened.

Now the leader wants to cut off the tongue of this troublemaker. I feel that this is all my own fault and I have no way to appeal.

Zhang Liang continued to look at the famous sword and said in a deep voice: “Our intentions are very clear, and the decision is up to you.

I will return what I have gained today. I hope we can resolve this conflict peacefully. After all, we have the same goal.

Even if we cannot become friends, we must never become enemies, otherwise, after we are exhausted, we will be left for others to take advantage of.”

The famous swordsman stared at Zhang Liang for a moment, then suddenly snatched the sword from his man and rushed towards Zhang Liang at high speed.

Zhang Liang remained calm and composed, with a hint of a smile on his face.

The thieves who came with him were sweating profusely, worried that this reckless man would get into trouble and implicate everyone.

The dilemma created by this kid made everyone uneasy.

In an instant, Mingyue swung her sword and cut the ropes tied to Zhang Liang.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as it was a false alarm.

Zhang Liang slightly moved his numb wrist, turned his neck, and continued to say to Mingdao: "I knew that you, the boss, are a man who can make decisions immediately.

Then he stretched out his hand.

Mingdao held Zhang Liang's hand, raised his lips slightly with a subtle smile, and said: "With you here, it is not surprising that Lanming Mountain has risen. It's a pleasure to cooperate with you.

"

Zhang Liang responded with the same smile and held the famous sword even tighter.

Ming Dao Xiao is because he has absorbed a force with great potential, no matter what its background is, it can help him move towards his goal - ascending the throne as King of Qin.

Even if this force's ambitions surpass his own, he can arrange a proper retreat and use Lanming Mountain as cannon fodder.

Mingdao's smile was full of blind trust in himself.

Zhang Liang's smile came from the fact that he had completed a plan. The development of this matter allowed Zhang Liang to conceive a new strategy to deal with this group of thieves, making the action more labor-saving and dealing with those who were ignorant of the immensity of the world.

Everyone around was stunned. The boss who was so angry that he wanted to kill someone just now was now shaking hands with others and readily agreed to cooperate. This strange change in attitude caught them off guard.

Zhang Liang's team was no less surprised than them. They were just worried about life and death, but in the blink of an eye, the goal was successfully completed.

The dramatic ups and downs of life are thrilling and truly difficult for them to cope with.

Mingdao waved his hand gently, "Release everyone.

“The brothers around him immediately released the trapped group.

"Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. What's your name, brother?" Mingdao continued to ask.

"You can just call me Jiu, that's what my elder brother calls me every day."

"Very good, Brother Xiaojiu, I will host you tonight. Please have a good time together. Brothers, please don't refuse. Let me show my hospitality."

"I shouldn't refuse your kindness, but today is inconvenient. We have a mission to accomplish. Now that it has been completed, and the situation in the imperial city is so turbulent, it is not appropriate to delay. Please forgive me for reporting the cooperation to you first. We can have a good drink together next time."

"Well, since you've asked me to stay, I can't force you to stay. After the situation in the imperial city calms down, you must come to me to make up for the landlord's duty!"

The crowd was released but still found it difficult to accept reality.

The situation that was originally on the verge of collapse in the negotiations unexpectedly took a dramatic turn. In particular, their leader had never expected that the old man who had caused him trouble would show such influence at this moment.

Only Zhang Liang had a smile on his face, while the rest of the people looked confused and at a loss.

Zhang Liang, who was walking in front, looked back at the crowd and suggested: "It's rare that our brothers have completed this important task together. How about I treat everyone to a good meal?"

After hearing Zhang Liang's words, the thieves looked at each other and whispered, "This... is a bit embarrassing..."

The leader quickly interrupted: "Brother Jiu, this operation is of great importance. We should not stay here for too long. It is better to go back and report to Brother first."

"Hey, you, if you're not hungry, don't the brothers have an appetite? After working hard for most of the day, this little while won't hurt. Besides, it's my treat, so why are you worried? We don't usually have this kind of good fortune, but now that the opportunity has come, you don't want to cherish it."

The leader scratched his head. The mission was urgent and he should report as soon as possible, but Ninth Brother was not someone he could afford to offend. This was a dilemma.
