Chapter 31 Bargaining These words were said so resonantly that Chen Ji, Feng Guoyong and Zhang Yi were all moved.
As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
Being able to build a strong resistance team behind Tuohuan Timur will be of great benefit to the Huai'an army at present.
Moreover, Yelvzhao kept saying that he was a Han, which made everyone instinctively feel a lot of closeness to him.
However, Zhu Chongjiu was not moved by the other party's words at all.
He picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips, then gestured downwards and commanded with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yelu invited Shopkeeper Yelu to have great ambitions.
Zhu Mou admired him very much.
However, Shopkeeper Yelu came to discuss business with Zhu first.
During the conversation, we talked about borrowing generals from Zhu for training.
This is too big of a turn, and Zhu needs to think carefully before making a decision."
"Could it be that the general manager can't trust me, Yelvshi?"
Yelvzhao stood up in a hurry and asked with red eyes.
"As long as the General Manager is willing to lend a helping hand, I, the Yelv family, will remember the Great General Manager's great kindness from generation to generation and never dare to forget it."
"This is too far-reaching.
Zhu doesn't want to hear it anymore."
Under the expectant eyes of the three senior counselors, Zhu Chongjiu smiled and continued to drink tea with his head down.
It's not that he is calmer than Chen Ji, Zhang Yi and Feng Guoyong, but that in his previous life, he heard too many heroic words.
Some carried coffins into battle, some died and died, some dedicated their youth and their lives, and their lives dedicated to their descendants.
As a result, in the end, other people's children will be laid off when they should be laid off, and they will be unemployed when they should be unemployed.
The children of my family earn tens of millions per year and travel freely in the political and business circles.
In just a few years, they have accumulated hundreds of millions of wealth out of thin air.
If you see all these things too much, you will develop a certain immunity, and it will be difficult to be impressed by a few beautiful words.
"Then let's continue talking about business.
How can General Manager Zhu be willing to send people to help train troops?
No matter how high the price is," Yelu Zhao was once again forced to do nothing.
He gritted his teeth and returned to the topic.
Zhu Chongjiu smiled lightly and said very frankly, "There's no rush, you tell Zhu first who your lord is, and then Zhu can decide how to continue the conversation with you."
Ah, I'm so ashamed.
I was almost deceived by this guy again.
After hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, Chen Ji, Zhang Yi and Feng Guoyong suddenly woke up and glared at Yelu Zhao.
At first, this guy kept saying that he was contacting the Yelu family on behalf of his master, then he quietly turned to the history of blood and tears of the Daliao royal family, and finally negotiated the deal to let the Huai'an army unilaterally lend troops to the Yelu family.
This big circle was almost full of twists and turns.
It made everyone dizzy.
Fortunately, my general manager was extremely talented in business and did not let this guy get his way easily.
"This, this" Yelvzhao knew that he had been easily defeated by another clever move.
He looked around and suggested in a low voice, "This matter is of great importance.
Please stand aside for now, Manager Zhu."
"They are all my confidants, there is no need to avoid them."
Zhu Chongjiu frowned, very dissatisfied with the other party's pretentiousness.
Yelu Zhao, the head of the Jiaozhou Commercial Bank, had no choice but to take a few steps forward and confide in an almost inaudible voice, "Genghis Khan was very kind to my ancestors back then, so I, the Yelv family, have been serving as descendants of Ogedai Khan for many years.
Lord.
The current lord is the direct grandson of Emperor Taizong of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
He is from the orthodox golden family lineage.
Tuo Huan Timur's ancestor, the traitor Meng Ge, seeks to usurp the throne and use his uncle to force his sister-in-law."
"Be louder and try to talk as little nonsense as possible."

Zhu Chongjiu's historical knowledge was not very bad.
He was annoyed and scolded him unhappily.
"Well."
Yelu Zhao's face turned black after being scolded, but thinking about the benefits that the Yelu family could get after the two sides joined forces, he had to hold back his anger and continued to explain in a low voice, "My master is the sixth generation grandson of Ogedai Khan.
King Aruhui Timur of Lu conquered Mongolia when Genghis Khan unified it.
All tribes established Wo Kuotai as Khan.
After Wo Kuotai Khan, Gui Yu was succeeded.
However, Gui Yu Khan was poisoned by Tuo Lei's son Meng Ge.
From then on, Meng Ge took the throne.
The usurpation by brothers led to constant fratricide among the Golden family, political instability, and the displacement of the people."
"This is an internal matter within the Jin family.
What does it have to do with you, the Yelu family?"
Chen Ji, who joined the army, also woke up and ridiculed with a bit of revenge.
"Master Chen still doesn't know something."
Yelvzhao sighed helplessly and continued to explain carefully, "My ancestors were able to rebuild the Liao Kingdom because of the strong support of Temujin Khan.
In order to repay their kindness, our ancestors also wholeheartedly assisted Okuo Tai Khan, for Mongolia made an unparalleled contribution to the destruction of gold.
Many of the laws of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty were still produced by Wen Zhenggong, the leader of the clan at that time.
However, the Meng brothers betrayed their faith and killed Wen Zhenggong with poison and wine.
He also seized the throne of the Ogedai family by force."
"He is talking about Yelu Chucai, King of Guangning, who was given the posthumous title Wenzheng after his death.
Most of the laws of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties came from his hands.
According to old legends, this person died of sorrow and anger because he had a disagreement with Tolegona, the mother of Guiyu Khan. .
Unexpectedly, he was killed by Meng Ge, the son of Tuo Lei."
Knowing that Zhu Chongjiu might not understand, Feng Guoyong explained to him carefully.
Note 1 "It's exactly" Yelu Zhao's eyes turned red and he took over the words with hatred, "After the false emperor Kublai Khan came to the throne, in order to win people's hearts, he pursued Wen Zhenggong wildly.
However, for Wen Zhenggong's descendants and my Yelv family, The Liao Kingdom, on the other hand, killed as many as they wanted, cut as many as they wanted, and showed no mercy at all."
"Then are you borrowing troops from my general manager for your Yelv family, or are you borrowing troops from my general manager for Aluhui Timur?"
Zhang Yi became calmer and calmer as he listened, frowning, and asked in a low voice.
"It's all" Now that things have happened, Yelu Zhao has nothing to hide.
Without even thinking about it, he pulled out his family's trump card and said, "His Royal Highness Aruhui Timur, with the title of King Lu, sits in the north of Ling Dynasty.
King Qi, King Guangning and other clans outside the Great Wall are all under his control.
And I, a descendant of the Yelu family, control the three cities of Kaiyuan, Ningchang and Liaoyang.
Wanhu Mansion.
As long as the opportunity is right, His Highness Aruhui Timur will raise the uprising flag in Lingbei to punish the people.
I, the Yelv clan, will respond with troops from three directions, and the puppet emperor will be happy in a short time.
Mu'er has lost all the land outside the Great Wall.
From now on, it will no longer be possible to draw any soldiers from the north."
Hiss, this temptation is really huge.
Chen Ji, Zhang Yi and Feng Guoyong secretly gasped in their hearts.
Since the uprising of the Red Scarf Army, the soldiers and horses of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties were wiped out one after another.
However, the Mongolian and Yuan court was able to continuously mobilize elite troops from outside the Great Wall, and fought bloody battles with the Red Turban Army.
The entire area outside the Great Wall and Liaodong has almost become a large arsenal for Tuohuan Timur.
No matter how much losses it suffers, it can be quickly replenished.
If, as Yelvzhao envisioned, King Lu and the Yelv clan join forces to rebel in the north, even if it does not make Tuohuan Timur miserable, at least it will prevent him from getting effective support from outside the Great Wall in the next few years.
Replenish troops.

Invisibly, the Huaian Army won a rare opportunity to recharge its batteries.
Thinking of this, the eyes of the three people became a little hot.
He quietly winked at Zhu Chongjiu, indicating that his lord might as well agree to the deal.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Chongjiu suddenly became extremely philistine, smiled, shook his head and said: "It sounds good, but Zhu helped you, what good will it do to you?
Who knows if you have learned Zhu's military training methods, what will happen in the future?"
He will push the envelope even further and raise his troops to directly attack the Central Plains."
"No, I can swear by the spirits of Yelu's ancestors and fathers in heaven."
Yelu Zhao did not expect Zhu Chongjiu to be so difficult to deal with.
He raised his right hand and added loudly, "I, the Yelu family, only take a corner of Liaodong and will never go further.
If King Lu breaks his promise in the future, , I, the Yelv clan, will stand by and watch without helping each other."
"Look, you still can't be the master of King Lu.
Besides, Liaodong is also the old land of China, so what qualifications does Zhu have to easily promise it to your Yelu family?"
Zhu Chongjiu yawned tiredly and waved his hand.
"Without the help of my Yelv clan, the King of Lu will be unable to survive alone."
Yelv Zhao responded quickly, and then after thinking for a while, he added very unwillingly, "The general manager can proclaim himself emperor, and I, Yelv clan, would like to do the same as I proclaimed my vassal to Temujin Khan.
Promise your vassal and pay tribute to the Grand Steward and remain your vassal for generations to come."
"Then wait for an opportunity to rebel?"
"By then the General Manager will already own the entire Central Plains.
His strength will be a hundred times that of my Yelv clan.
How dare you seek death no matter how courageous you are?"
"At that time, the territory of the Liao Dynasty was a hundred times that of the Jurchens.
And the territory of the Jurchens was more than a hundred times that of the Mongols."
Zhu Chongjiu smiled again and reminded very rudely.
"This" Yelvzhao was refuted and was speechless.
The Jurchens and the Mongols were just a tribe at first, and all their weapons combined were just dozens of bows and several leather armors.
However, they were able to destroy the suzerain country and then sweep across the Central Plains.
With these two precedents, who dares to believe that the Yelu family will always keep their promises and lurk in Liaodong?
He knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't get Zhu Chongjiu to help easily.
He simply changed his mind and once again loudly mentioned the suggestion he had made before, "Since the general manager doesn't believe me, please ask the general manager to put forward conditions.
If I can agree to it, just agree to it."
"Is this right?"
Zhu Chongjiu raised his thumb and praised with a smile, "They all said that they were doing business with Zhu, but they always used those baseless things to deal with Zhu.
They treated Zhu as a three-year-old child.
My child, listen carefully, Zhu’s conditions are extremely simple.
It’s very simple to explain in detail.”
Putting down the tea cup with a smile, Zhu Chongjiu slowly stated the conditions, "First, Zhu can only lend a hundred people at most to help you train soldiers for half a year.
How many people you have when you go, you will have as many people when you come back.
Missing One, and you will be willing to agree to it with a hundred Khitan warriors."
"Okay."
Yelvzhao didn't have much choice at all.
He gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.
"Second, each of the brothers sent by Zhu will be rewarded with twenty first-class horses.
You take the war horses to Zhu by boat and send them to Huai'an.
Zhu will naturally ask the brothers to go back with you.
They will pay the bill first and then hand over the horses.

Man, we are innocent, are you willing to agree?"
"No problem" Liaodong has always been rich in horses.
Therefore, this condition is far simpler than the previous one, and Yelvzhao does not need to consider it at all.
"The third and last one.
Zhu wants you to take the route from Jiaozhou to Goryeo and Japan.
Send someone to lead my Huaiyang Company's fleet to complete the sea route, and then complete the route with people and ships.
If Zhu sends it back, Zhu will believe in your sincerity, otherwise, Zhu would rather break up."
Note 1: Yelu Chucai was an outstanding figure of his generation.
Most of the legal systems in the early days of Mongolia were created by him.
In the official history, it is recorded that he died of worry and anger.
In unofficial history, it is believed that he was harmed by Kublai Khan
