Zhu Yaoxiang sighed and said, "Chief of Staff, you go and negotiate with them. It would be best if we could work together to eliminate Han Zhifu's division in Nanfeng City."

Gyeongsan City is bordered by Bongnim City to the east, Nampoong City to the north and west, Namwoon City to the southwest, and Daesan to the south.

If he could eliminate Han Zhifu, he would be able to mobilize all his elite troops for a decisive battle with Ma Jincen, and then he would be more confident of defeating Ma Jincen.

Now Ma Jincen only used one elite division, and he was defeated without any resistance.

If Cao Bingshen from Huai Chong City joined the battlefield, or if Ma Jincen mobilized another elite division, he would be completely unable to fight back.

"Don't worry, commander. I know what to do." The chief of staff said solemnly.

In Xing County, Fang Jian met Li Defu again. After the two shook hands warmly, Fang Jian arranged for Fang Guoxuan to move out all the seized weapons and asked Li Defu to count and transport them away.

Li Zhongwu was puzzled and asked: "Commander, why don't you keep these weapons and form a second-line force?"

"Even if we want to form a second-line force, we don't need these weapons." Fang Jian shook his head slightly.

Then he called Wang Wei and Fang Guoxuan, and Fang Jian said to the three of them: "I am going to lead a large army back to Fenglin, and leave a troop to garrison Xingxian for the time being."

Hearing about the garrison, the three of them were eager to try.

"I plan to leave the Second Guard Regiment behind. If Han Zhifu from Nanfeng wants to enter Fenglin City, he must be stopped in Xing County." Fang Jian said seriously.

Li Zhongwu said solemnly: "Commander, rest assured, I will definitely not let other troops enter Fenglin City."

Fang Jian nodded and returned to his base, preparing to return to Fenglin City in the afternoon. Zhang Wei and Fang Guoxuan returned to their respective bases to make arrangements for their departure.

That afternoon, the chief of staff rode a fast horse to the Wenxian front and met Hu Jian at the base behind the position.

After the chief of staff shook hands with Hu Jian warmly, he introduced himself to him: "Hello, my surname is Yang, my name is Yang Yancheng, and I am the chief of staff of Division Commander Zhu."

"Hello, my name is Hu Jian, and I'm the team leader of the commander's security department." When saying this, Hu Jian's face was a little embarrassed. He was the team leader of a department-level unit, and the other party was the chief of staff. The gap was quite big.

Yang Yancheng didn't care about these things. If he really wanted to make a fuss about it, Fang Jian was just a county magistrate.

Inviting Hu Jian to sit down in the conference room, Yang Yancheng asked, "How does Commander Fang plan to cooperate with us?"

"Our commander means that we can resist Ma Jincen together. The specific joint plan, obligations, and matters that both parties need to abide by have not been thought out yet." Hu Jian could only say what Tao Yunong instructed.

"After we have discussed the specific details of the joint operation, we will submit them to the commander. Once the commander agrees, we can implement them accordingly."

Yang Yancheng curled his lips, which was equivalent to everyone testing the other party's bottom line and negotiating a result that both parties could accept.

After all, although cooperation is inevitable, the strategic goals and demands of both sides are definitely different in terms of how to cooperate.

Zhu Yaoxiang was originally a division commander under Ma Jincen, while Fang Jian was only a county magistrate. Both sides tried to find out each other's short-term demands. If their demands conflicted, there would be no way for them to unite.

Moreover, short-term demands pave the way for long-term demands. If the short-term demands do not conflict, it depends on whether the long-term demands can coexist.

Although the short-term demand of both parties is to defeat Ma Jincen, in the process of defeating Ma Jincen, both parties are willing to pay a certain price, and they also hope to obtain certain territories and rights temporarily.

These short-term demands of both parties are definitely different. In this negotiation, the two people's task is to test them out.

The large army's march was not very fast and they only returned to Fenglin in the evening of the second day.

Although Fenglin has gained some popularity, it is still not as lively as Xinyuan County. Fang Jian has no choice but to believe that development is a slow process.

The first thing Fang Jian did after returning to Fenglin and having dinner was to find Shao Wenli. Shao Wenli had lost a lot of weight, which showed that he had been very tired during this period.

"Wenli, you don't have to work so hard. You should also make sure to rest." Fang Jianan said with concern.

Shao Wenli smiled and said, "The people's livelihood in Fenglin City is too chaotic. There are many things to deal with. It concerns people's livelihood, and someone has to do it."

"Wenli, have you counted the weapons seized when we captured Fenglin?" Fang Jian asked after a few more words of concern.

Shao Wenli nodded and said, "The statistics show that we have seized 58 box guns, 3,342 old sleeve guns, and 356 Daxin 11-style guns. They are all in the warehouse."

After sending Shao Wenli away, Fang Jian communicated with the system in his mind: "System, exchange all the weapons seized in the warehouse."

"Ding, 58 box guns are being recycled, the recycling price is 15 points each. 3342 old sleeves are being recycled, the recycling price is 15 points each. 356 Daxin XI-style guns are being recycled, the recycling price is 30 points each."

"Ding, a total of points can be exchanged. The weapon recovery team will deliver it in one day. Do you want to exchange it?"

"exchange."

Adding these more than 23 points, the points balance is more than .

Fang Jian communicated with the system and said, "System, I need equipment and materials to repair the cement roads from the communication source to Fenglin, and from Fenglin to the counties."

"Ding, the equipment and materials require 100,000 points, do you want to redeem them?"

Although the price was high, Fang Jian said without hesitation: "Exchange."

"Ding, 10 points will be deducted, and the equipment and materials will be delivered in one day."

Fang Jian added: "Help me exchange for usable power generation equipment, ten radio stations, and a complete set of telephone equipment, and exchange for 100 telephones."

"Ding, a large diesel generator requires 2 points. A radio station requires 10 points, a complete set of telephone equipment requires 1 points, and a phone requires 1 point."

"Ding. The total number of points required, do you want to redeem?"

"exchange."

"Ding, the exchange is successful and will be delivered in one day."

Suddenly thinking of something, Fang Jian asked again: "System, does the generator need diesel?"

"Ding, yes."

Fang Jian's face turned a little dark, and he suddenly thought of his big trucks, which also needed to burn diesel. There was no way he could exchange the diesel.

"System, exchange for 100 barrels of diesel."

"Ding, the exchange is successful, 2000 points are deducted, and 100 barrels of diesel will be delivered in one day."

Fang Jian couldn't help but sigh that it was not easy to earn points, but spending points was like water.

Then I thought, this still won't work. To manage telegraphs, telephones, electricity, and roads, we need professionals. There is no other way but to exchange it.

Fang Jian said weakly: "System, help me exchange for a four-star talent who is proficient in telegraph, a four-star talent in electricity, a four-star talent who is proficient in telephone equipment, and a four-star talent in road construction."

"Ding, redemption successful, 4 points deducted."

Fang Jian was so confused that he spent more than 17 points on this operation.
