Because Cui Keli was in the middle to coordinate, when Li Ye and Chu Nanhuai entered the tent, Li Maozhen, Gao Pian, Wang Jian and others were already seated in the first row on both sides, and their respective assistants were sitting behind them. The atmosphere is serious.
As the host in a certain sense, Li Ye unceremoniously took the presidency, with the monks from the monster tribe right behind him. Although such an arrangement is suspected of being weak in host and guest, the Bull Demon King and Mi Monkey King in the demon clan are all the demon kings of the Daluojin Fairyland, so it is not too ostentatious.
Li Ye exchanged some pleasantries and brought the topic to the point.
In principle, everyone should work together to deal with the monster clan. There is nothing to say about this, but working together does not mean intimacy and inseparability. There are still many issues that need to be discussed.
The most important of these: Since the goal of this battle is to overthrow the rule of the Immortal Court over the mortal world, if the goal is achieved, how will the interests of the world be divided in the future, and what kind of structure will be formed to balance the interests of all parties
This situation made Li Ye think of World War I and World War II on Earth. When the allied forces formed the allied forces and decided to fight against the enemy, in addition to discussing how to send troops, the greatest energy should also be placed on building the post-war order. In fact, there is the League of Nations and the United Nations.
In short, this is Game of Thrones.
The first one to speak was Gao Pian. He looked around the crowd, with the intention of relying on the old and selling the old in his eyes, and said in a tone of duty: "Zhu Wen has the support of the Taoist fairy court, so that he can occupy the seven towns of the Central Plains. If there is no Taoist sect Immortal Court, he can't make things happen. This time, we will work together to deal with Immortal Court for the sake of the benevolence and righteousness of the mortal world. If it happens, I, the Huainan Confucian School, are willing to broadcast the teachings of saints, continue to work hard for the blessing of the common people, and help the Son of Heaven shepherd Xuzhou and Xuzhou , the people of the three towns of Gunzhou."
The three towns of Xuzhou, Xuzhou, and Gunzhou are adjacent to the Huaihe River, and their locations are critical. Especially Xuzhou has always been the most important place for military strategists in the North-South dispute. Whoever owns Xuzhou will have the initiative to use troops to the south and north.
If Gao Pian wants to command troops to cross the Huaihe River to conquer the Central Plains in the future, it will be extremely convenient to occupy these three towns, whether it is to go north to Pinglu, go straight to the hinterland of the Central Plains, or even capture Luoyang and go west to Guanzhong Chang'an.

In a word, if Huainan has these three towns, it will occupy a favorable situation in the future battles in the Central Plains and even the world.
Just as Gao Pian finished speaking, a sneer sounded out.
The romantic and suave Li Maozhen shook his folding fan, without even looking at Gao Pian, he squinted and sneered, "I heard that the King of Wu and the Confucian school had a similar stink, and he was a hypocrite who seemed innocent but was full of evil. Seeing is better than hearing. King Wu wants three of the seven towns in the Central Plains at once, with such a big appetite, why don’t you just go to them all?”
Being offended by Li Maozhen in this way, Gao Pian did not show any anger, but said in a calm and reasonable tone: "This time the Kunlun alliance was made possible by my Confucian scholars who went all over the place. This is as it should be, what is wrong with King Qi?"
Li Maozhen sneered, "Why don't you say that Zhu Wen came to Kunlun because he was afraid of you?"
Gao Pian: "..."
The scholars who went to Chang’an and Chengdu to contact Li Maozhen and Wang Jian were indeed Confucianists, but Cui Keli first proposed this matter, and Guo Pu was also entrusted by him to discuss with Wang Zaifeng... Of course, Gao Pian can also say that Cui Keli Ke Li was originally a disciple of Confucianism, if he had reached this point of brazenness, it would not be bad to say that Zhu Wen was scared away by them.
When Gao Pian was arguing with Li Maozhen, Wang Jian had been watching quietly all the time, not agreeing with anyone or opposing anyone, it seemed that he had no idea, but in fact the city was deep.
Gao Pian said angrily: "King Qi always says that the lonely king and the Confucian school are not good. Could it be that King Qi is really righteous and won't leave a state and a county from the Central Plains?"
Li Maozhen waved her folding fan with a contemptuous smile: "King Wu doesn't need to be punished. Xiao Wang thinks that he is not inferior to Huainan in terms of strength, so for the seven towns in the Central Plains, Xiao Wang not only has to share, but also can't share less than King Wu."
Speaking of this, the sarcasm on his face became stronger, as if watching the excitement and not being afraid of big things: "Luoyang, Bianzhou, Huazhou, Xiao Wang wants it, how about it?"
Sure enough, he did what he said, and when he opened his mouth, there were also three feudal towns.
Gao Pian snorted coldly: "Does King Qi know what Yelang is arrogant?"
Li Maozhen confronted him tit for tat: "Does the King of Wu know what an imperial edict is?"
Gao Pian was so choked that he couldn't speak for a while.
Li Maozhen has the emperor in his hand, who dares to say that he is not strong? If he asked the emperor to issue an edict, even if everyone could not obey it, it would still be true in terms of righteousness and cause a lot of inconvenience.
The dispute between Gao Pian and Li Maozhen reached a stalemate, which also made the atmosphere in the tent stiff.
Li Ye looked really angry, and Li Maozhen, who looked angry but actually had a pair of "I see you Gao Pian" eyes, there was no fluctuation in his heart.
The seven towns in the Central Plains now have his army, and the governors of the towns are at least nominally listening to his orders. These Zhu Wen's old places have been swallowed by him. Come out, he is naturally unwilling.
However, the alliance cannot exist without sharing some interests.
Li Ye could eat this piece of cake in the Central Plains alone, but he really couldn't deal with the enemy of Daomen Xianting alone.
The Immortal Court has not yet been defeated, and everyone is fighting with each other for the interests that have not yet been obtained... However, if the interests are not properly divided, there will be no decisive war with the Immortal Court.
At this time, Wang Jian, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, with a simple and harmless smile to ease the atmosphere: "Seven towns in the Central Plains, King Wu and King Qi will divide six, so don't I want to share one with King An? Sure... I don’t mind a little less, but it’s too bad for King An. If King An hadn’t fought with Xianting until now, forcing Xianting to fight with his back, how could we have a chance to win Xianting and divide the Central Plains? Hehe , this is wrong."
Hearing this, Li Maozhen's expression softened a lot. Although Wang Jian was opposing him and Gao Pian, this dispute was started by Gao Pian, and he just booed to avoid Gao Pian. So Gao Pian is the one who can't bear the face the most.
However, Li Maozhen's good-looking face was only for a moment, and then sank down, and she glanced at Wang Jian very unhappy, "Fatty, good people let you do it, don't they?"
Wang Jian said hesitantly: "I'm not a good person, Wang An is."
Li Maozhen snorted, which didn't seem like he was objecting, and then his face turned ugly, "I know how to flatter you!"
Li Ye knocked on the table with his fingers, motioned everyone to pay attention, and then said seriously: "You are all important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and you all have great talents for rejuvenating the country and the country. The king thinks it is natural for the imperial court to do meritorious service and share the worries of His Majesty. However, the seven towns in the Central Plains cannot stand such a division. According to the king, it is better for the three of you to choose two towns each, and the king only wants Bianzhou."
Li Maozhen was taken aback for a moment, and the way she looked at Li Ye changed: Are you stupid
Gao Pian's spirit lifted, obviously overjoyed.
He didn't intend to really want three feudal towns at all, and the lion opened his mouth just to sit on the ground and bargain. Although it is not many to be allocated two feudal towns, it is also above the bottom line.
What really made Gao Pian different was that Li Ye himself only wanted a Bianzhou Xuanwu Army. This involved the key issue of the strength comparison between Gao Pian and others and Li Ye.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Li Ye now has nine towns, and he is the most powerful in the north and south of the Yellow River. If he wins another three or four feudal towns in the Central Plains, Gao Pian and the others will feel so much pressure that it will be difficult to get angry.
But if after this battle, Li Ye's strength did not increase significantly, but instead he made several other great princes fatter, and the situation of the world's great struggle would be much more balanced.
Gao Pian calmed down, and looked at Li Ye suspiciously: "King An's words are serious?"
He felt that Li Ye was either crazy or had ulterior motives, and the possibility of the former was almost impossible.
Wang Jian was equally skeptical.
Li Maozhen also wanted to hear what Li Ye had to say.
Li Ye sighed, and said in a deep voice: "The enemy is in front of us, and we don't have much time. We must act immediately, otherwise it will be too late. At this moment, we should focus on the overall situation. However, it is easy to say that the overall situation is the most important thing. It involves giving up one's own interests, so who is willing to let go easily? Since major events must be accomplished by someone's sacrifice, the lonely king, as Li Tang's clan, is duty-bound to help the community."
Everyone was startled when they heard the words.
The important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, who are herdsmen for the emperor, are just talking, but does Li Ye take it seriously
How could it be true
How can you be serious
Li Ye looked at everyone sincerely: "The lonely king is willing to put the overall situation first, and all he asks is that you can work together, reduce disputes, and act immediately... Time is running out!"
The expressions of the people kept changing for a while.
In the end, they still keenly grasped the key problem: time was running out.
That's right, Li Ye is the deadly enemy of the Taoist sect. The two sides have fought against each other for many years, and now Li Ye is forcing Xianting to fight to the death. One can imagine Xianting's hatred for him.
Li Ye is the one who can't afford to wait the most, and the one who can't tolerate any accidents in this battle.
Therefore, it is reasonable for him to exchange land for time and for everyone to work together to solve the big problem of Xianting first.
And what Li Ye said is right, when a big event comes, someone must sacrifice, otherwise there will be a lot of fighting, when will things be done
Li Ye couldn't afford it.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally said: "An Wang Gaoyi, we agree."
As long as Li Ye is willing to give up the benefits, what else would they be dissatisfied with
This is not satisfactory, what else do they want
As for Li Ye's repentance afterwards... Are they afraid of this after confirming that the Yaozu can't stay in the mortal world for a long time after the war
not afraid.
If Li Ye dared to do that, the three parties working together would be enough to defeat Li Ye.
Seeing everyone's satisfied and relieved smiles, Li Ye also felt satisfied and relieved.
But the smile didn't show on his face.
Will he hand over the Seven Towns of the Central Plains
Obviously not that simple.
In the final analysis, everything is to defeat Xianting first.
Everything can wait until after defeating Xianting.
He was just two from each of the six feudal towns, including Li Maozhen, but he didn't say which two. There is a lot to do here.
But now that time is running out, everyone doesn't have time to divide it up carefully.
