Chen Liang accepted Xie Zaixing's offer of one pound of grain and one hundred pounds of ore, but he added another requirement.
"However, this ore must be top-grade ore. If you get top-grade ore, I won't buy it." Chen Liang said.
Xie Zaixing was very angry. Where would the best iron ore be a hot commodity?
"Okay, then we must use the best hulled rice, otherwise Shu Xiaochen will not be able to agree." Xie Zaixing is here to negotiate, not to ask for help.
He also figured out that it was impossible to agree to Chen Liang's unreasonable request.
Chen Liang saw that Xie Zaixing was on the verge of an explosion, and knew to stop when he was ready, "Okay, but I don't want low-grade ore, you can figure it out yourself!"
Although this compromise was still unfair to Xie Zaixing, it at least reached a deal condition.
"We will not let the big man suffer." Xie Zaixing said.
Next, Xie Zaixing continued to discuss the alliance with Chen Liang.
Chen Liang also agreed to Xie Zaixing.
After Xie Zaixing left the palace, Chen Liang asked Zhang Dingbian, "What do you think of this alliance?"
"Your Majesty, there is no doubt that Daye is the strongest at this time, and Zhang Zhou is in danger at this moment. Without the help of our big men, it will be in danger." Zhang Dingbian said: "It is better to send him away Give some food to Zhang Zhou, and when they start fighting, we can sneak attack Daye.
Compared with Daye, Zhang Zhou is a suitable opponent. "
Chen Liang thought about Zhang Dingbian's suggestion, and he agreed with the strategy of supporting Zhang Zhou.
Although Daye is powerful, when fighting Zhang Zhou, their strength may be scattered due to Zhang Zhou's internal troubles.
This was the best time for the big man to take action.
This is the saying that the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows.
Chen Liang believed that giving Zhang Zhou some food support could enhance their morale and combat effectiveness.
When Zhang Zhou and Daye engage in a fierce battle, we can take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack to attack Daye's shoulder power and achieve strategic advantage.
In comparison, Da Zhou is a more suitable opponent.
Not only are they equally powerful,
And there are many problems internally.
Dahan could take advantage of these problems to weaken Dazhou's strength and hit it to a certain extent.
At that time, the Han Dynasty can rise to the top and dominate the world.
Thinking of this, Chen Liang couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Zhang Dingbian and said, "Old man, I believe it won't be long before we can dominate the world!"
Zhang Dingbian also hurriedly knelt down: "I am willing to fight for your Majesty in the world!"
Chen Liang felt Zhang Dingbian's firmness and loyalty, and his confidence in unifying the world was strengthened.
He stretched out his hand towards Zhang Dingbian and helped him up: "We are brothers. We will conquer the world together, build a prosperous and peaceful Han Empire, and restore the former glory of the Han Dynasty. At that time, you and I will leave our names in the annals of history. Famous forever!"
Zhang Dingbian held Chen Liang's hand excitedly: "Your Majesty, no matter how many difficulties and dangers there are ahead, I will fight side by side with you until the last moment!
Let us create history together and unify the world! "
No matter how outsiders evaluate Chen Liang, whether they say Chen Liang is sinister and cunning, in Zhang Dingbian's heart, Chen Liang is the best monarch.
And Chen Liang had no suspicion about Zhang Dingbian.
Soon, news of the alliance between Chen Han and Zhang Zhou reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears.
"Form an alliance?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered disdainfully, "It's just the right time, let's take care of it together!"
He looked at Zhu Yu and said, "You also saw Lao Liu's letter. What do you think?"
Zhu Yu said: "Sixth Brother's method is good, assassination is indeed the fastest way to destroy Zhang Zhou.
Now that we have taken control of the destiny, how to recover it is not a problem. "
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yu discussed plans to deal with Chen Han and Zhang Zhou, and they scorned the idea of an alliance.
Zhu Yuanzhang believed that this was an excellent opportunity to defeat Chen Han and Zhang Zhou in one fell swoop.
A cunning light flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes: "Lao Liu's assassination plan is indeed feasible. It can quickly weaken Zhang Zhou's power and disintegrate their combat effectiveness.
Now that we have the destiny, no matter how we regain the lost ground, it will not be a problem.
The people of the Arch Guards have been raising it for so long, so it’s time for them to take action. "
Zhu Yu nodded: "What my father said is that the assassination plan can effectively destroy the enemy's morale and leadership stability, thereby weakening their resistance.
We can send elite troops to conduct secret operations to eliminate his key figures one by one, plunging Zhang Zhou into chaos and civil strife. "
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Whether it is Chen Han or Zhang Zhou, they are all obstacles for us to seize the destiny. We will take advantage of the contradictions between them and use the assassination plan to completely damage their strength. Once they are in civil strife, we will use thunder to force and completely defeat them."
Zhu Yu said: "Father, you mean to assassinate Emperor Chen Han, throw the blame on Zhang Zhou, and then declare to the outside world that Zhang Zhou has joined forces with Daye to deal with Chen Han?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, "You're right, that's what we mean."
After Zhu Yu listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, a cunning light flashed in his eyes.
He understood the ingenuity of this plan, which would not only weaken the alliance between Chen Han and Zhang Zhou, but also plunge them into mutual suspicion and strategic stalemate.
This psychological tactic can effectively destroy the enemy's trust and unity.
After Zhu Yu pondered for a moment, he nodded in agreement: "Father, this plan is very clever. It can not only assassinate Emperor Chen Han, but also shift the responsibility to Zhang Zhou and create internal strife between them.
The reason why Emperor Chen Han was so suspicious and seriously ill was that he would definitely feel deeply threatened after the failed assassination and would never dare to form an alliance with Zhang Zhou again. "
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "That's it. This will plunge them into chaos and fear, which will give us a strategic advantage." Zhu Yu said firmly: "Father, please don't worry, I will Personally arrange capable manpower to ensure the success of this mission."
In fact, Zhang Zhou and Chen Han also have their own secret service agencies, but they are still much inferior to those of the Imperial Guard.
The Archguard Division has developed to this point and has become extremely mature.
Zhu Jun's method also provided Zhu Yuanzhang with an idea to do the greatest thing with the least amount of troops.
Once Zhang Cheng dies, Zhang Zhou will instantly fall into civil strife.
On the contrary, the same is true for Chen Han.
At that time, it is the opportunity for great cause.
Thinking of this, he did not hesitate to let the Arch Guards implement this plan.
As for whether it can succeed, this is all an attempt.
At this moment, Xie Zaixing returned to Zhang Zhou, but before he could enter the palace, he heard the bad news.
Zhang Cheng was assassinated by a palace maid and died!
