Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Xu Wenqiang stood up and said, "Mr. Liu, you are too polite. We have also heard of your great name for a long time."

"Mr. Liu is not only the deputy commander of the Southeast Five Provinces Allied Forces, but also Wu Fatian's military advisor. Wu Fatian was able to occupy the Southeast Five Provinces and become a hegemon in the Republic of China, largely because of Mr. Liu's support."

"So, Mr. Liu can be said to be the most important person in the Southeast Army, even as important as Wu Fatian."

Liu Zhengfeng said: "Mr. Xu, you always speak so nicely. I heard a long time ago that Mr. Xu has a very high IQ and EQ. Now it seems that it is indeed the case."

"Mr. Xu's emotional intelligence is second to none in the entire Republic of China."

Xu Wenqiang waved his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, there is no need for us to flatter each other. Mr. Liu came to our Longmen military camp this time, so he must have something to ask. If you have anything to ask, please tell me directly."

Liu Zhengfeng said: "Indeed, there is something. I don't know where Longmen Sect Master Ye Yunfei is now. I think it would be better to talk to Ye Yunfei about this matter."

Xu Wenqiang said: "Our sect master is not here right now. If Mr. Liu has anything to say, you can tell us directly and we can pass it on to the sect master."

"This……"

Liu Zhengfeng was a little hesitant.

At this time, Ding Li said, "Hey, Mr. Liu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. We still have to fight after you finish speaking."

"If you are hesitant and don't want to talk, I think you should go back now. We don't need to waste time. Let's just get started. Why bother here?"

"Ali, shut up."

Xu Wenqiang shouted at Ding Li.

Ding Li curled his lips and said nothing.

Xu Wenqiang looked at Liu Zhengfeng and said, "Mr. Liu, my brother has a hot temper and doesn't obey discipline. He is really rude. I'm sorry."

Liu Zhengfeng said, "It's okay. I've heard about Mr. Ding's character. This kind of straightforward personality is actually quite good. At least it's much more straightforward than those who beat around the bush and act stealthily."

"I actually like Mr. Ding's personality, but it's a pity that when you are in the arena, you have no choice but to do many things, even if you don't want to do them. "

Xu Wenqiang said: "I understand, so Mr. Liu, just tell me the purpose of your visit."

"We are all smart people, there is no need to beat around the bush."

Liu Zhengfeng said, "Okay, it was our Commander Wu who asked me to come. He wants to negotiate peace with you Longmen. I wonder what you think."

"Peace negotiation."

Ding Li sneered, "It's a pity that Wu Fatian could come up with this idea. We have successively attacked Anhui and Fujian, and we have taken away all his territory. Only Jiangsu and Zhejiang are left, which can be ours at any time."

"At this time, he actually wants to negotiate peace with us. How can he say these two words? What qualifications does he have to negotiate peace with us?"

Hearing Ding Li's words, Liu Zhengfeng frowned.

Ding Li's words were too direct, completely contradicting him, and he didn't know how to respond.

At this time, Xu Wenqiang said: "Mr. Liu, although Ding Li's words are rather presumptuous, what he said does make sense. Now that we in Longmen have an absolute advantage, it is easy for us to destroy Wu Fatian. Why should we negotiate peace with you?"

"In other words, are you worthy of our peace talks?"

Liu Zhengfeng said: "We know that Longmen now has an absolute advantage, but, Mr. Xu, you have to understand that Jiangsu and Zhejiang are our base camps, and our main forces are in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Moreover, Commander Wu recently bought dozens of planes and hundreds of tanks from abroad, all of which are also in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"In addition, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have extremely tight defenses. It would be difficult for you, Longmen, to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang by force."

"Jiangsu and Zhejiang are far from being comparable to the two provinces of Anhui and Fujian. I dare say that even if you Longmen can eventually conquer Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you will inevitably pay a heavy price and your vitality will be greatly damaged."

"In that case, why don't we negotiate for peace? Using the simplest way to resolve this matter will be good for both of us."

Xu Wenqiang glanced at Liu Zhengfeng and said, "What are Wu Fatian's conditions? Tell me about his conditions. I want to hear them."

Liu Zhengfeng said: "Commander Wu's conditions are very simple, that is, give him a very generous sum of money, and protect his safety, so that he can withdraw from Jiangsu and Zhejiang and give this place to you."

"Mr. Xu, this request is already very low."

Xu Wenqiang nodded: "This request is indeed not too high, but I still need to report to our sect leader whether it can be agreed to."

"After all, matters like peace talks still have to be decided by the sect leader."

Liu Zhengfeng said: "No problem, just go and report, I'll wait here."

"When you get news from Sect Master Ye Yunfei, please tell me immediately."

Xu Wenqiang nodded: "Okay, wait a moment."

Afterwards, Xu Wenqiang went to another place and called Ye Yunfei.

"What's wrong, Wen Qiang?"

Ye Yunfei was fishing on the aircraft carrier at that time. When he heard Xu Wenqiang calling, he asked.

Xu Wenqiang said, "Brother Fei, Wu Fatian sent someone to negotiate peace, saying that he can give Jiangsu and Zhejiang to us. We just need to give him enough money and guarantee his safety."

Ye Yunfei said: "Is it that simple? This is all Wu Fatian pursues."

Xu Wenqiang said: "In my opinion, Wu Fatian has become a frightened bird. He knows that he is no match for us. As long as we invade Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he will surely die."

"So, he used this last trump card to exchange something with us. This should be his only way out."

Ye Yunfei said: "What do you think? Should we agree to his condition?"

Xu Wenqiang said: "I think the conditions proposed by Wu Fatian are not really high. Giving him some money and ensuring his safety will make it easy to occupy Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This is the best option."

"We won't pay any price. If we force an attack, there may be many casualties."

"Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province is Wu Fatian's most important territory. He has concentrated almost all of his elite troops here, so a forceful attack is not cost-effective."

"Now that he has taken the initiative to ask for peace, why not agree to it?"

"Use money in exchange for Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

Ye Yunfei thought about it and decided that this was indeed the best solution.

A strong attack will result in casualties. Although Longmen is now strong in men and horses, he does not want any casualties among them.

Compared with the casualties, spending some money doesn't matter.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Then how much do you think is appropriate to give Wu Fatian?"

Xu Wenqiang said: "I think that with one million dollars, he should be satisfied and hand over Jiangsu and Zhejiang..."
