The first prince of Song Dynasty

966 Conditions of cooperation
"Brother Guo, you and I are not fools. You have helped me so much. There must be demands. We are not saints. Naturally, we have desires. I want to know what exactly you want. I don’t know. Can you explain it a little bit more clearly?"

Zhao Xu's meaning is very simple. People have emotions and desires. The things you said are too big, which means that you must have some demands.

It's not just about taking the lives of the royal family of the Shu Kingdom, it's also a bit out of proportion, the income and investment are not in proportion.

A businessman is talking about business. As the heir of the Guo family, you must not think of such a thing.

Even if you say that you have enmity with the royal family of Shu, what good will it do you if you kill the royal family, you can't get nothing at such a big risk, right?

"Since what brother Zhao said is here, I have an unfeeling request, that is, can you keep my Guo family's position in Sichuan?"

Guo Chengzhi wanted to keep the status of Shu after the fall of Shu. Will Zhao Xu agree?

Zhao Xu didn't even think about it, and replied directly:

"Isn't this a little bit difficult for others, keep your Guo family's position in Shu, your Guo family is almost in control of the political situation in Shu, I will defeat Shu for you, and let you be the master here, if it were you, Would you like to?"

Do you think I'm a fool to keep your position as the Guo family in Shuzhong?If you keep your position, where do you put me, isn't this nonsense?

You are deeply ingrained here, I have planted the root of disaster for myself in the future, how can you make me feel at ease.

"Don't you think about it again. You should know that with the help of my Guo family, it will be easier for you to win the Shu Kingdom, and you won't have to kill or injure so many people. Isn't that good?"

Guo Chengzhi continued to seduce.

"I don't want my soldiers in the Song Dynasty to shed blood and then cry, do you understand? Your Guo family is a political family. If you are an official, I will not embarrass you, but you have to think like you are now. , absolutely impossible, I can guarantee that your family is still the same in Shu Kingdom, except of course, you don’t have such great power.”

I can guarantee your safety, and what belongs to you is still yours, but don't think about the rest.

It's fine to be an official if you want, but you have to follow the normal way, and it's definitely not like today, so I can't agree to your conditions.

Such a political family is the most harmful to you, Zhao Xu. You can't see it now because it is a time of war. If it is a peaceful thing, you will know how annoying these people are.

They might manipulate the government and sway other people for the benefit of their own faction, Zhao Xu knew all about this.

Because they are not a person, but represent the interests of this group of people, this is what makes them terrible.

"Mr. Miao, do you also think that my proposal is too much? You must know that the time I have to help you in the unification of the Song Dynasty will be greatly shortened."

Guo Chengzhi no longer called Miao Xun Brother Ge or Brother Miao at this time, but directly called him Mr.

"Young master, the patriarch Guo is right. If the Guo clan helps us out, we will indeed have a lot of things left. It's not a big deal to agree to this condition, right?"

Miao Xun also agreed with Guo Chengzhi's proposal, which made Guo Chengzhi narrow his eyes, feeling that something was going on.

Miao Xun's weight was very high in Da Song, and now that he had helped him speak, it meant that he agreed, so Zhao Xu had to think about it.

"Sir, what is the purpose of our hard work to achieve the unification of the world? We don't want to reproduce the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, so that there will be no privileges. We worked hard to win the Kingdom of Shu, but in the end If you find that going here does not really belong to us, then this kind of unity is not worth it!"

Your big family here is undoubtedly the emperor of the land. If you want to kill it, you can't, it will definitely cause turmoil.

Regardless of whether this is our territory or your private territory, Zhao Xu really dare not think about it.

"Patriarch Guo, if you still insist on your ideas, then I can only say sorry. If that's the case, we can only rely on my Great Song's iron cavalry to level this place, and then rebuild the beautiful Shu land."

Without you, we would have been able to take down the Kingdom of Shu, and at that time all those who resisted the law would be wiped out, and then rebuild the Kingdom of Shu according to our wishes.

This is what I want. In fact, Zhao Xu's implication is that by that time, your Guo family will not be able to maintain your current status. This is not to say that you have already suffered a catastrophe at that time.

"However, since Patriarch Guo proposed to cooperate with Song Dynasty, then I can promise you that the royal family of Shu Kingdom will do what you want when the time comes, and I can guarantee the economic status of your Guo clan in Shu Kingdom, and the political status must not be like it is today. , but for the outstanding children of your family, you will be hired on a merit basis, what do you think?"

Zhao Xu didn't mean to beat you to death with a stick. He always wanted to give you a little sweetness. After all, it wouldn't do to beat you to death directly.

It is really beneficial to cooperate with you. At least our entry into Shu Kingdom will be much smoother, and our soldiers will suffer fewer casualties.

More importantly, the time was also shortened. How could Zhao Xu not do such a thing, but it was definitely not Guo Chengzhi's condition.

"So we've settled this way, and please remember the conditions you promised me, the prince. I don't expect the Guo family to be brilliant, just have a place in the troubled times."

Guo Chengzhi knew that his opinion could not be passed at all, so he never planned that Zhao Xu would agree.

He just tried it out just now, but as he expected, he couldn't succeed. In fact, if he were Zhao Xu, he wouldn't agree.

Just like that, he agreed. Guo Chengzhi was a bit abnormal today. In fact, Zhao Xu didn't know that Guo Chengzhi knew that the Song Dynasty would definitely destroy the Kingdom of Shu.

why?
On the one hand, it is strength, and on the other hand, Da Song's ambition.

The combination of these two is irresistible to the Kingdom of Shu. He just took the opportunity to cooperate with Song Dynasty to keep the Guo family.

Also, if he wants to keep it, he naturally wants to associate with the enemy's enemy, because the enemy's enemy is a friend.

Guo Chengzhi also knew that if the Kingdom of Shu was destroyed, the Guo family's privileges would no longer exist, and he was very clear about this.

Now that Zhao Xu admitted that he would keep the Guo family in the future, and choose the best for the Guo family's children, this was the best result.

So he agreed to Zhao Xu's proposal, and this condition was within his acceptable range, otherwise he would not have come here to see Zhao Xu alone.

This shows that he must come here today to make an agreement with Da Song. This is his own decision. Fortunately, Zhao Xu didn't open his mouth like a lion.
