Chapter 602: Straight to the point
After a slight vibration, under the dim light, a tall figure slowly walked out from the depths of the secret room. While walking, he clapped his palms and made a rhythmic "pa" sound.
"It's true that he is worthy of being the Wei rank. There are one of the people in the Southern Jin Dynasty that I, Xu Daofu, can respect me!"
Wei Jie felt a little nervous and excited. This second-person figure in Tianshidao was finally about to lift his mysterious veil!
"It is precisely because of the people like Mr. Wei that this world has become as colorful as it is now!" Xu Daofu continued.
While speaking, Xu Daofu's figure was completely shrouded in the faint light emitted by the oil lamp. Although the light was weak, it did not prevent Wei Jie from seeing the true face of Xu Daofu's Lushan!
Xu Daofu's figure is no less than Zhang Xiong. He is eight feet tall. His clothes are no different from those of the Southern Jin Gaomen. He is dressed in a celebrity, with straight facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, especially his eyes, bright and energetic. When looking at people, he seems to be able to see through the other person's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys!
"Wei Jie has met Governor Xu!" Wei Jie smiled indifferently and bowed to Xu Dao.
Xu Daofu's opening remark was concise and clear, but full of incomparable confidence. Wei Jie couldn't help but feel a little bit of favor about the life that would inevitably be his opponent in the future.
"Mr. Wei did not disappoint my uncle. A simple sweat-washing action made the master see his uncle's identity!" Xu Daofu smiled and sat down on the chair where He Futian had been sitting before. As soon as he walked out, He Futian stood up and walked behind the chair to wait.
After Wei Jie looked at Wang Zhene as if nothing had happened, he smiled and said, "Because Wei Jie knew in his heart that Governor Xu must be interested in cooperating with Wei Jie!"
"Let's guess the identities of these friends first!" Xu Daofu nodded without comment, and said to Wang Zhenye and others standing behind the guard steps.
"No need to guess this person. Yuan Zhan and Yuan Shishen served as the prefect of Kuaiji County for a year and three months. He has been famous for a long time and admires Lord Yuan's talent!"
Wei Jie smiled indifferently. Xu Daofu knew Yuan Zhan, but Wang Zhene and Zhang Da. If he wanted to guess his identities, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Xu Daofu looked at Zhang Da, looked at him for a while and said, "As for this hero full of evil spirits, he must be the number one master around Mr. Wei, General Zhang Dazhang. If you guessed correctly, General Zhang should be related to a mysterious organization that has been circulating for hundreds of years!"
Wei Jie and others immediately showed a look of shock. There was no doubt that the mysterious organization in Xu Dao's mouth refers to the Mo family guild. It is not difficult to understand that Xu Daofu can know Zhang Da's name, but how could he even investigate Zhang Da's background so clearly?
In the shocked gaze of Wei Jie and others, Xu Daofu smiled slightly, and then said to Wang Zhene: "And this person is the grandson of Mr. Wang Meng, Wang Zhene, who is both civil and military, and Mr. Wang!"
"Young Master Wei, I guessed it well!"
"Can Wei Jie understand Governor Xu's move as a provocation?" After a while, Wei Jie smiled and said, the shock in his heart was no longer greater!
Tianshi Dao lived on the sea for a long time, and Xu Daofu knew this clearly about the people around his guard rank. The only explanation was that Xu Daofu had long regarded his guard rank as a potential opponent, so he conducted a detailed investigation of the people around him. This is what is called knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy and being invincible in a hundred battles!
On the contrary, Wei Jie's understanding and understanding of Xu Daofu still remained on his personal understanding. For example, his ambition to dominate the world, this negotiation did not seem as relaxed as Wei Jie thought at the beginning, and his determination to win seemed to be just his wishful thinking!
"I, Xu Daofu, are a pleasure!" Xu Daofu smiled slightly without comment and said.
"Young Master Wei can understand this way. Since you want to cooperate with Xu, Xu naturally has to get straight to the point and increase your bargaining chips for negotiations!"
Xu Daofu's simple and direct way of talking immediately made Wei Jie feel like he was out of control of the negotiation situation. He immediately coughed a few times and said, "Since Governor Xu likes speculation so much, why not speculate on the specific purpose of Wei Jie's coming here!"
If Xu Daofu even speculated this, Wei Jie would be completely impressed by Xu Daofu, and this was simply another Xie An!
Fortunately, although Xu Daofu was able to touch the people around the Wei Jie, he still couldn't guess his thoughts about the Wei Jie. Moreover, the number one master around the Wei Jie is no longer Zhang Da!
Xu Daofu laughed and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Xu is not a worm in Mr. Wei's belly. How can he know the specific purpose of Mr. Xu? However, there is one thing that Mr. Xu can be sure of. This time, the young master must be talking to Mr. Xu about a big event, a big event that will make Mr. Xu excited!"
"Wei Jie is here to give the eight counties of Kuaiji to Governor Xu!"
Since Xu Daofu is a direct person, he naturally needs to be simple and direct than speaking. At that time, Wei Jie did not beat around the bush and said directly.
"The eight counties of Kuaiji? Give up?" Xu Daofu raised his eyebrows.
"Why don't you tell me in detail?"
"If the eight counties of Kuaiji are like eight empty cities, I believe Governor Xu knows this very well. Governor Xu is probably already salivating about these eight counties of Kuaiji!" Wei Jie said calmly.
"It's just that once I was bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the well rope for ten years. Tianshidao had an experience of failure, so he was afraid of the soldiers of the Northern Palace and did not dare to act rashly!"
"Young Master Wei said it well!" Xu Daofu nodded and said.
"It's true. Last time I was given by Master Wei, my Tianshi Dao's vitality was severely damaged. I have only recovered slightly in recent years, but I can't withstand the second storm. Otherwise, I'd be afraid that there would be a possibility of collapse!"
"The fact is indeed as Mr. Wei said. We are concerned about the soldiers of the Northern Palace. It is easy to acquire the eight counties of Kuaiji. However, if we want to defend Kuaiji under the counterattack of the soldiers of the Northern Palace, with the current strength of my Tianshidao, it is absolutely impossible!"
Xu Daofu is neither arrogant nor impatient, neither humble nor arrogant, and knows himself or her enemy. He is also well-founded in advancing and retreating while speaking. He is a person who is in charge. Wei Jie couldn't help but nod in secret when he heard this!
"If Wei Jie had a way to make Governor Xu have no time to take care of Kuaiji after occupying the eight counties of Kuaiji, would any army in the Southern Jin Dynasty have no time to take care of Kuaiji? Is this the eight counties of Ji hand over to Governor Xu?" Wei Jie looked at Xu Daofu and said word by word.
"Young Master Wei's words are serious?" Xu Daofu's eyes lit up, and he finally lost his composure. He almost couldn't help it and stood up from the chair.
"Three years!" Wei Jie did not directly answer Xu Daofu's question, but instead said.
"The Weijie guarantees that within three years, no one will dispatch a soldier to Kuaiji County under the rule of Governor Xu. In other words, Governor Xu has three years to rest and recuperate based on Kuaiji County to achieve the future!"
"Three years?"
Xu Daofu frowned slightly, obviously he knew very well in his heart that although the eight counties of Kuaiji were rich, three years were not enough to make Xu Daofu's wings completely plump. Three years of rest and recuperation were not enough to make him prepare for the capital to dominate the world.
"Three years is already the limit that Wei Jie can achieve!" Wei Jie said calmly.
"Governor Xu is not unconfidence. Three years may not be enough for others, but with Governor Xu's talent and full of ambitions, three years should be enough!"
This time, the Wei rank is no longer simply agitating. He really felt this way in his heart. Xu Daofu is not simple. Three years later, Xu Daofu, who has Kuaiji County, may really be a powerful opponent of his Wei rank!
"What should Mr. Xu do?" Unconsciously, Xu Daofu could not help but fall into the rhythm of the Wei rank.
"Governor Xu has to do very simply. After occupying Kuaiji, you have to make an attitude of gathering all your strength and attacking Jiankang!"
Wei Jie did so many things just to make the army of Tianshidao take such a posture, so that he can unite Xie Xuan to transfer the Northern Palace troops from Jingkou, creating a great opportunity for Fu Jian to go south!
"By the way, if possible, Governor Xu can also do Wei Jie a favor!" Wei Jie continued.
"Now Sima Daozi and his son will return to Kuaiji. At that time, they may cause some trouble for Governor Xu, but Governor Xu must have not taken the father and son to heart!"
"What Wei Jie wants to say is that Sima Daozi will be dealt with by Governor Xu, but Sima Yuanxian and Governor Xu want to leave him to the Governor Xu, which can be regarded as a return gift prepared by Governor Xu for the Governor!"
"How is a return gift enough? Doesn't it seem like I, Xu, is stingy and has no sincerity to cooperate?" Xu Daofu laughed.
"Let me just let Mr. Xu give Mr. Wei another gift!"
After saying that, Xu Daofu turned his head and looked at He Futian. The latter immediately understood and had not seen Wei Jie and others, so he left the secret room directly.
Zhang Da immediately stared at He Futian who was leaving with a vigilant look on his face, while Wei Jie and others let He Futian leave as if nothing had happened. Now it was the time for a good conversation, so Xu Daofu wouldn't have done anything to destroy the atmosphere!
But everyone was curious about the other gift that Xu Daofu said in his mouth. What did Xu Daofu prepare for them? Judging from the silent conversation between him and He Futian, this gift should have been prepared for it!
For a moment, both sides entered a state of waiting, and the secret room became silent. Wei Jie did not ask, Xu Daofu did not say anything. The two just smiled and waited for He Futian to return to the secret room with the gift.
It took He Futian two quarters of an hour to return. However, when he returned to the secret room, his hands were indeed empty and there was no such great gift as mentioned before.
After entering the secret room, He Futian nodded respectfully to Xu Daofu, and stood silently behind Xu Daofu again.
Xu Daofu smiled slightly and said to Wei Jie: "The gift has been prepared for Mr. Wei. Just on the carriage outside the restaurant, I believe that this will be a huge surprise for Mr. Wei. Please ask me to reveal it yourself later!"
Xu Daofu is about to see off the guests, Wei Jie smiled and shook his head.
"Governor Xu is really confident in the guard rank!"
So far, the two sides have only reached a consensus on the framework of cooperation, but have not mentioned any details, which has surprised Wei Jie. In a trance, Wei Jie saw the shadow of Tuoba Gui in Xu Daofu. When he talked about cooperation with Tuoba Gui, he also had the same attitude. In Tuoba Gui's words, everything is severity and valuation in both sides' hearts!
Cooperation emphasizes a self-evident tacit understanding!
Xu Daofu didn't say anything, but Wei Jie had to make it clear. Cooperation was simple, but the matter after cooperation was not simple!
"Governor Xu, there is a saying that Wei Jie must be ahead!" Wei Jie said in contemplation.
"After Governor Xu occupied Kuaiji, the soldiers of the Northern Mansion would inevitably make a counterattack. Please do not misunderstand that the guard ranks have their own way to prevent the Northern Mansion soldiers from truly making their way, and will not pose any threat to the governor!"
After pondering for a while, Wei Jie continued, "I would like to remind the governor that no matter how chaotic the situation is then, I hope Governor Xu can keep his promise and never take advantage of the idea of taking advantage of the troubled waters!"
"If not, these three years may have become three months!"
Xu Daofu heard the last threatening words in Wei Jie's ears, but his expression on his face did not change at all. He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Xu probably guessed what Mr. Wei wants to do. Please rest assured. Master Tian said how much he weighs. I, Xu, know more than anyone else. For Mr. Xu, there is nothing more important than these three years!"
"Governor Xu knows the best there!" Wei Jie nodded and said.
"It depends on when Governor Xu will take these eight counties of Kuaiji!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu will find the best opportunity!" After saying that, Xu Daofu made a gesture of invitation.
"We have negotiated such a big deal, and all the eight counties of Kuaiji have given them to the governor. Does the governor even have a drink to drink?"
Xu Daofu's eagerness surprised Wei Jie a little. It seemed that something happened in the East China Sea that he didn't want him to know. Wei Jie immediately spoke up to test it.
"Compared with the surprise prepared for Mr. Wei in the carriage outside, a drink from Xu is really nothing!" Xu Daofu said with a smile.
"To be honest, the news that the young master came to Donghai has been leaked. The young master and others must leave Donghai as soon as possible, otherwise they will be afraid that they will be chased by senior brother Lu Dun!"
"The news leaked?" Wei Jie was stunned.
"Don't worry, my son, I will properly resolve this matter, and our cooperation will not be affected at all!" Xu Daofu said with a calm smile.
"Since that's the case, Wei Jie said goodbye!"
At this moment, Wei Jie's thoughts had already flown to the carriage outside the restaurant. The Wei Jie felt a sense faintly. The gift that Xu Daofu carefully prepared was absolutely extraordinary!
The few people soon arrived outside the restaurant and saw an inconspicuous carriage parked outside the restaurant. Wei Jie and others' horses were also led to the entrance of the restaurant. In addition, two more horses were added!
Wei Jie winked at Ambassador Zhang, and Zhang Da immediately understood. He came to the carriage in three steps and opened the curtain on the carriage first.
The moment the door curtain was lifted, Wei Jie and Zhang Da were stunned!
Chapter completed!
