Seeing the slap about to fall on his shoulder, Liang Min, one of the leaders of the Yuyuan Army, immediately dodged sideways.

He had no choice but to hide.

Huang Zhenshan’s slap was too heavy, leaving a red mark at best and swelling and pain at worst.

After the slap missed, Huang Zhenshan was unhappy: "If you don't let me hit you, this matter will not end today."

"Stop fighting," Ren Qi said to stop them, "It's not proper to fight like this!"

"Then reply quickly!" Huang Zhenshan said, pointing at the Jinyiwei who delivered the message.

Ren Qi, Zhang Qi and Liang Min looked at each other, then turned to the Jinyiwei and said, "Since you are here to recruit us, let your imperial envoy come to my camp to discuss in detail!"

"Okay!" The Jinyiwei turned around and left to inform Wang Fuzhi of the news.

Wang Fuzhi looked at the Jinyiwei who was accompanying him, pointed at Deng Yue and said, "There is no need for so many people to go, just accompany me."

"Yes, sir." Deng Yue urged his horse to come to Wang Fuzhi without any hesitation.

"Sir Wang," Li Dingguo reminded, "most of these rebels have never been to school, so few of them are willing to listen to great truths. Even if they are willing to listen, they can't understand the nonsense."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on!" Wang Fuzhi nodded towards Li Dingguo, "As soon as I get any news, I'll send someone out to let you know. I hope General Li will act according to the plan."

Li Dingguo clasped his hands together and said, "Don't worry, Lord Wang. I will definitely fulfill my promise."

"Let's go," Wang Fuzhi urged his horse and slowly drove towards the Yuyuan military camp.

Ren Qi, Zhang Qi and others had already made preparations.

They ordered the soldiers to line up on both sides of the road in the camp, waving their weapons and shouting slogans when Wang Fuzhi passed by.

Wang Fuzhi looked at the demonstration team consisting of more than a thousand rebels, and he began to feel uneasy.

Don't be afraid it's fake.

Fear is one of the most basic human instincts.

But Wang Fuzhi was only afraid in his heart and did not show it on his face.

Deng Yue, a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, followed beside Wang Fuzhi, and there was no fear on his face either.

As they were about to pass through the demonstrators, two spearmen thrust their spears forward, blocking Wang Fuzhi and shouting, "Put down your weapons!"

Wang Fuzhi was not carrying any weapons. He turned to look at Deng Yue beside him.

Deng Yue had a sword on his waist, a bow and arrow on his back, and a crossbow hanging on his saddle.

We will certainly not be able to move forward without laying down our weapons.

It would be extremely embarrassing to drop our weapons in front of the rebels.

Not only would it bring shame to the imperial court, it would also bring shame to the Jinyiwei and even Chongzhen.

"Ha!" Deng Yue sneered and jumped off his horse.

He hung his sword and bow on the saddle, then threw the reins to a rebel soldier who looked stronger: "Come, take good care of the horse for me, and I will let you serve in the Pacification Office later."

The rebel soldier's eyes lit up instantly when he took the reins of the warhorse.

The Pacification Division...

There are so many people who want to work there.

Not to mention that he was just a rebel, even the sons of wealthy families in the capital might not be able to get in even if they tried their best.

He was about to thank her when he realized that he was a rebel, so he swallowed his saliva and replied: "Don't worry, I will take good care of it."

Amid the envious and hateful gazes of others, the rebel soldiers left holding the reins of their horses.

Deng Yue came to Wang Fuzhi and took the reins of his warhorse.

Seeing this, the spearmen blocking the road had no choice but to let them pass.

Deng Yue was leading the horse and Wang Fuzhi was sitting on it.

The two of them walked slowly to the outside of the military tent.

Ren Qi and other leaders did not want to send anyone to greet him, but they were afraid that this would anger Wang Fuzhi and cause trouble in the subsequent negotiations.

So he asked Liang Min and Huang Zhenshan to greet them outside the tent.

Deng Yue first pointed at Wang Fuzhi and introduced him, "This is Lord Wang, the imperial envoy sent by the court to recruit us."

"My name is Liang Min, nice to meet you, Lord Wang!" Liang Min spoke first.

Huang Zhenshan grinned and said, "My name is Huang Zhenshan. I'm from Shuibao Village, Puzhou, Dongchang Prefecture. Liang Min and I are from the same hometown."

Liang Min's eyes suddenly went dark.

My goodness, Huang Zhenshan told the other person all his secrets as soon as they met.

If the government troops fail to recruit him, they can go directly to his hometown to look for him.

Wang Fuzhi was surprised by Huang Zhenshan's honesty. He looked at Huang Zhenshan and asked, "Who else is in your family? Why do you want to rebel?"

"Except for me, everyone else was drowned." Huang Zhenshan showed a sad expression, "If I hadn't rebelled, I would have starved to death."

"I'm sorry," Wang Fuzhi said apologetically, "The court has learned about the flood and has raised money for disaster relief."

"It's too slow," Huang Zhenshan said with a frustrated look, "By the time the imperial court allocated the money, we would have starved to death."

"There are other ways. You will know soon." Wang Fuzhi nodded at Liang Min and Huang Zhenshan and walked into the military tent.

Inside the tent, Ren Qi and Zhang Qi sat side by side in the middle.

Other leaders, both big and small, were on both sides.

After some introductions, everyone took their seats.

Ren Qi, the leader of the Yuyuan Army, asked first: "Since Lord Wang is here to offer amnesty, please tell us the conditions for the offer."

Negotiation is an art.

It requires strategy, skill, and wisdom.

If Wang Fuzhi negotiated at the other party's pace, he would most likely be led by the other party and lose the initiative in the negotiations.

The correct approach is to guide the other party to talk according to your own ideas.

The first step is to analyze the other party's needs, interests and bottom line.

Next, when negotiating, express your opinions in a calm tone and avoid using emotional words.
