Chapter 725 After the Negotiation
Upon hearing this, Pu Weichao's expression suddenly changed to one of sudden realization. "No wonder Li Xun was so eager to wipe out the army earlier, so that's why."
"Li Xun?" I was taken aback by this unfamiliar name.
Pu Weichao said, "It's the leader of the large community, his name is Li Xun. During the negotiations just now, he wanted to stop the war with us first, and even wanted to cooperate with us to eliminate the neutral military force first, and then the two sides could negotiate again. Perhaps in the future, we can stop targeting each other and try to cooperate."
Hearing this, I became a little worried. "What about your end? What's the situation?"
Pu Weichao said, "Wang Zhang initially wanted to consider it, but now he has agreed to Li Xun's request to cooperate and take out the army together first."
Upon hearing this, I immediately became conflicted. "Wouldn't that be a huge problem? What if the soldiers are wiped out? We'd be at a disadvantage then?"
Pu Weichao said, "I don't oppose Wang Zhang yet, but it won't be easy for the two sides to truly cooperate. The conflict between them is deep and cannot be resolved simply by cooperation. I can see that Li Xun wants to cooperate on the surface, but he is definitely still plotting something behind the scenes."
I said, "So, Li Xun actually means he wants to take down Wang Zhang and his army together?"
Pu Weichao nodded: "Yes, that should be the idea. However, it will be very difficult to succeed because everyone knows that Wang Zhang also thinks the same way. He wants to cause Li Xun to suffer losses through this incident. In that case, it will be very difficult for the two sides to truly cooperate."
I frowned and said, "If that's the case, I feel that it won't be so easy for the army to withdraw next."
"What's the meaning?"
After that, I told Liu Jiang almost everything about my relationship with him, including that Liu Jiang had agreed to join us. It was all settled, and no matter what happened next, we were now bound together.
Upon hearing the news, Pu Weichao remained expressionless and said, "This is a good thing. At least Liu Jiang has agreed to our request. However, you need to be careful from now on. Whether it's your evacuation plan or anything else, it's best to do it discreetly and not be discovered. Once discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable. I think you understand that."
I said, "Yes, I understand. Don't worry, I'll handle this. But the rest is up to you."
Pu Weichao nodded. "I know, don't worry. I won't let them cooperate perfectly. Even if they've already agreed to cooperate, I'll find a way to make them fight amongst themselves. Perhaps then, it will be our time to take them down in one fell swoop. By the way, how's the situation with Yu Jin? How many zombies are there?"
I said, "There are already a hundred zombies."
Pu Weichao said, "That's not enough. The more the better. They've already decided to attack the army in three days. I hope there will be 150 zombies by then. I hope you'll have evacuated all the troops by then, so we'll have a chance to defeat them. But this is a last resort. Before that, I'll make sure both sides suffer losses."
"Um."
Pu Weichao said, "Alright, that's enough. Go back now. Remember to evacuate your men as soon as possible. I reckon Li Xun has already sent people to monitor the army. You'd better find out who's monitoring you, then figure out how to fool them before you leave. Remember, don't kill them. That would alert them and could even cause my plan to fail."
"Okay, I understand. I'll leave now."
After I finished speaking, I left through the back door, got on my bicycle, and headed back.
Once I got further away, the bicycle became too slow, so I had to abandon it, find a motorcycle nearby, and ride it away.
Anyway, the distance is far enough, I don't think they can hear the motorcycle.
However, the motorcycle's engine was outside, so it was louder than a car. As I drove along, I was basically targeted by quite a few zombies. If I hadn't driven fast and shaken off these zombies, they probably would have really chased after me.
With things having progressed to this point, it's pretty much certain that the only way to unify Binhai is for both sides to act together. It's imperative for Pu Weichao to become the leader of the third-party team. Only in this way can the entire Binhai district be unified legitimately. As for the larger communities, the same old approach applies: those who surrender will not be killed, but those who resist will be killed indiscriminately.
Once the Binhai District is unified, the overall situation in Hangzhou will be basically settled. Then, heading towards Longhu District in the center of Hangzhou and defeating the people there will be no problem at all.
The motorcycle was going very fast, and in about ten minutes I had arrived at the army's quarters.
After I went in, I went straight to Liu Jiang and said to him, "Give me two people."
Liu Jiang was a little surprised when he heard what I said, and didn't understand what I was going to do, so he asked, "What are you going to do?"
I said, "I just came back from Pu Weichao's place and have received news that the large community and the third-party team have joined forces to take action against you. According to the plan, this operation will take place in three days. I estimate that some people are already coming this way, just to see you. So I need two people to lie in ambush nearby and find this person who is coming to monitor you. Only by finding him can you evacuate safely."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiang's face turned panicked. "You, are you telling the truth? Are they really going to come after me? But, but why? I understand if the larger community comes after me, but why would a third-party team also come after me?"
I said, "I don't have time to waste on this nonsense right now. Hurry up and give me two people."
Liu Jiang nodded and said, "Okay, just go out and grab two people at random, they'll listen to you."
Afterwards, I went outside and randomly picked two people to come with me. Then I found two houses and started monitoring the area.
Not long after, only about two minutes, they noticed two strangers appearing nearby. They went directly into the building and split up to monitor the area from two different locations.
Seeing this, I felt truly helpless, and then I said to the two of them, "You two remember to keep a close eye on them. Here's the evacuation plan for tonight."
