Chapter 125: Let Maudun be a hostage
Coming to a place dozens of meters away from the tent, Meng Tian asked, "What did the eldest prince mean just now?" ”
"I was thinking, no matter how many cows and horses we want, if they don't fulfill the agreement, it's all in vain," Fusu said. It's a good thing to say today because there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the town, but we can't always have so many people at the border, we can't afford it. ”
Meng Tian nodded, judging from the past bad deeds of the Huns, as long as there was something going on in the Central Plains, they would definitely take the opportunity to go south. The lost territory that has now been recovered is what they seized while Qin had no time to unify the six countries. They were always watching the movements of the Central Plains. As a whole, they worship only violence, not faith.
"And what do you mean?"
Fusu said: "I just realized this problem, and there is no good solution. ”
Meng Tian pondered for a moment and said, "The old way, hostage! Prince Maudun!"
Xiao Han, who was listening to it, opened his mouth wide in shock, this is to rewrite the fate of Prince Maoton! He doesn't have to go to the Yueshi as a hostage? He's not going to kill his dad anymore? So will he still have such a ruthless fight with Donghu in the future? Will he still besiege Han Gaozu?
Because I'm here, everything has changed, and oh my God, I'm completely messy!
She stared nervously at Fusu to see how he decided. Fusu patted her comfortingly, he thought that this kind woman was very afraid of the hostage, and said: "It's okay, just let Prince Maodun go to Xianyang to live for a few years, and the old man can have some scruples about doing things!"
It seems that this is a foregone conclusion. Xiao Han subconsciously patted his chest. Somehow, she felt cold in her heart, and always felt that she had made a big mistake.
Meng Tian looked at Xiao Han's reaction a little strangely, and said in his heart, no matter how smart a woman is, she is a woman, and she can't always get rid of the kindness of a woman.
He said, "So that's it?" ”
Fusu nodded. So do it! He stretched out his hand and said, "Xiao Han, let's go, let's go in!" ”
Xiao Han hesitated. Fusu frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Xiao Han snorted and said, "I have a few words that I want you to hear." ”
Meng Tian stopped, he wanted to hear what Xiao Han said.
Fusu said, "Let's say, before we go in, we think through the problem. ”
Xiao Han said: "Just now Gongzi said that he wanted to ensure the implementation of the agreement, and General Meng Da thought of hostages. I wondered if I could add a deadline. ”
Fusu said, "You can be more detailed. ”
Xiao Han said: "What I think is that there are many tribes within the Xiongnu, and the leaders of their tribes have a strong ability to control their own tribes. Everyone has seen the reaction at the scene today, Tou Manshan is a little forward-looking in deciding things, and others may not buy his account. Therefore, if the other tribes do not cooperate with the agreement reached today, it will be difficult to truly implement this agreement. ”
Meng Tian asked, "So what?" ”
"So, I think if we add a term to the compensation part of this agreement, they will be more receptive to this agreement," Xiaohan said. Because when a man is desperate, he can go crazy. We don't drive him crazy, we just hold him down, and that's really good for us. When the deadline has passed, the situation has changed, and it is of course good to be able to trade normally at that time, if not, take one step at a time. ”
Fusu nodded, and turned to Meng Tian again.
Meng Tian thought for a moment, and also felt that it made sense. This seems to be a step back, but it is actually more conducive to the implementation of the agreement. And this period can still be too long, for the Huns, fifty years and a hundred years are meaningless.
"How long does Miss Xiaohan think is appropriate?"
Xiao Han shook his head and looked at Fusu, she couldn't take this idea, Fusu had to have the final say.
Fusu said, "Five, seven, or ten? He also felt that it was meaningless for too long.
Meng Tian said: "Compromise, seven years!" ”
Xiao Han said: "No, we have to say ten years, they will cut it down by themselves." ”
Meng Tian and Fu Su smiled, in the end, they were traders, and what they bought was indeed not as good as what they sold.
Back in the tent again, it was getting late.
I don't know what they just said, but their faces are not very good-looking.
It's understandable to think about it, today is really a confession, who can be in a good mood?
Meng Tian gave up the tea again and said, "It's not early, let's negotiate as soon as possible." If we can't talk about it, I have people prepare dinner. Hehe, there are places to sleep too. ”
Yubi "snorted" hatefully.
The giant Nguyen Ong Trong watched as he rattled his fists.
Fusu said: "We just went out and thought of a few questions. ”
A few Huns immediately pricked up their ears, what kind of moth is this?
Fusu said: "We have negotiated the general direction of the agreement, and the implementation of the agreement is a problem. The reason why we are sitting together is to find a stable future for our people. If the agreement can be implemented smoothly, this stable future will be in place. Therefore, we have the following suggestions. ”
Mao Dun held his right hand with his left hand with some uneasiness, the Huaxia people were too cunning, and said hypocritically, "I have a few suggestions." ”
Tou Manshan Yu raised his hand, "The eldest prince can say it." ”
Fusu nodded and said: "In view of the sympathy for the life of the grassland herdsmen, our side has decided to set the time limit for the compensation part of this agreement at 10 years. ”
The leader of the Huyan clan breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried about this matter just now.
Tou Manshan Yu was also very surprised, how could he not bully people to the end? After a few moments, though, he figured it out. They are still afraid of the peace on the northern border. To be honest, today's agreement was really forced. However, it's easy to go back like this.
"No, it's still too long, we ask for a discount!" ”
Meng Tian smiled contemptuously, and said in his heart, grandma's, what do you think you are buying vegetables!
Fusu ignored this stubble and continued: "Don't be impatient, everyone. I have the next suggestion. ”
The Huns had no choice but to prick up their ears again.
"In view of the difficulty of explaining to everyone after the leaders return, and in order to show the sincerity of our long-term cooperation, I propose that the part of compensation be slightly revised with an increase in the price of goods. We don't call those cattle, horses and sheep Nagong, but war reparations. Because the Xiongnu's captivity of our border areas is not a matter of one or two days, and there are many border people who have killed us. The use of property to compensate should be divided. The reason why I made it clear was that I didn't want to create such an impression among the Xiongnu herdsmen, saying that my Huaxia things were very expensive, unreasonably expensive, and I couldn't afford them anyway. Our ultimate goal is to solve the long-standing problems at the border through commodity exchange. ”
The leader of the Huyan clan nodded, as if he had some point.
Fusu added: "Of course, as for what proportion to call war reparations, and the rest to be offset by the price of commodities, this is your problem. I believe that the leader of wisdom will be able to solve it. If something is solved too generally and unreasonably, there will be no internal peace in the first place, and I believe you all understand this truth. ”
Tou Man sighed, easier said than done!
Fusu continued: "In addition, we said earlier that we want to help the Xiongnu create their own writing, and I also want to help the Xiongnu record their own history, in order to ensure the implementation of this matter, and in order to better ensure the implementation of our other agreements, I suggest that the prince of Maodun go to Xianyang to live for a few years, while assisting the work of relevant people, while contributing to his own nation, and at the same time deepening his understanding of our Chinese nation." I hope that starting with Prince Maudun, we will usher in peace in the border area together. ”
Maudun's face changed as soon as he "brushed" the ground, and he suddenly understood why he was uneasy. In order to ensure mutual tranquility, it is an old routine to exchange hostages.
He looked nervously at his father. The others also looked at the father.
Tou Manshan Yu stared at Fusu, he was thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.
There was another long silence
Xiao Han was also very nervous. When she came, many things have changed, will Touman Shan Yu also change? Including character and vision. The history books say that he sent his eldest son to the Yue clan as a hostage because he wanted to set up his younger son. This is not a good father who values feelings, and of course, he is not a rational family. He also ended up paying the price for his impulsiveness.
So today, will he also say yes?
Maudun looked at his father with begging eyes, he didn't want to go, although he was not a prisoner of the ranks, he must not have a good time as a hostage. Moreover, out of the grassland, he is nothing, and his future plans may also change.
Tou Manshan Yu glanced at his son and nodded, reassuring him. Then he faced Fusu and said, "Prince, let's talk about it one by one." ”
Fusu nodded.
Touman said: "First of all, let's talk about the deadline, and thank the eldest prince for being sympathetic to the herdsmen's difficulties. But I think the deadline is too long, can it be lowered? Otherwise, it will be too difficult to execute. ”
Knot Bi answered: "Five years, that's five years!" ”
Meng Tian didn't speak, they just stared at this foodie coldly. It is estimated that he is hungry again at this time, so his mind has become active again.
Fusu didn't speak, he only looked at Touman Danyu, and he didn't even pinch the corners of his eyes.
Guitar was defied, his teeth rattled, he stood up, waved his arms, and shouted: "Five years, that's five years, or nothing will be counted today!" ”
Xiao Han floated softly: "Is the Hun in charge of him?" ”
The leader of the Lan clan glanced at Xiao Han who spoke dissatisfiedly: "Does the person in charge of the record also have the right to interject?" ”
Xiao Han looked unwilling to be misunderstood: "Wrong, I'm still in charge of reporting the news!" I'm the head of the intelligence team! ”
As soon as it came to "intelligence", the arrogance of the Huns went down. The leader of the Huyan clan tugged on the hem of Yubi's robe, and Jiebi knocked his hand off, but finally reluctantly sat down again.
The leader of the Huyan clan looked at Tou Man Shan Yu, he really hoped that Shan Yu would speak quickly, the asking price came out, you have to be reliable! The expectation in his heart was six or seven years.
Tou Manshan Yu finally opened his mouth and said, "Seven years." ”
Fusu and Meng Tian glanced at each other, nodded, and said, "Okay, it's just seven years." I hope that under the leadership of Tou Mandanyu, the seven years of the grassland will be seven years of peace and prosperity. ”
Tou Manshan Yu said: "Then the next question, about Mao Dun, he is the crown prince of our Xiongnu, and I agree with him to go." But what about the deadline? ”
Fusu looked at Meng Tian again, and Meng Tian said: "Fifteen years is the lower limit." These fifteen years are for peace on both sides. If he is willing to stay in Xianyang and have children in the future, then we welcome it. ”
Xiao Han looked at Meng Tian in surprise, he was really a ruthless person. He not only had to ensure the normal delivery of part of the compensation, but also prevented the Xiongnu from going south to cause chaos. Even if he doesn't go south, fifteen years is enough time for Mao Dun to fall in love with Xianyang. A sapling that was well cultivated by others finally allowed him to transplant it into a flower pot and modify it.
Maudun stood up impulsively, "No, I don't accept it, father, I don't accept it!" ”
Touman Shan Yu also stood up, and he did not stand up in protest, but put his hand on his son's shoulder to comfort him. "Son, sit down, you have a mission to go to Xianyang, so that the heroic stories of our Huns can be passed on, and you also go to Xianyang to see the world."
He turned to Fusu and said, "Eldest son, fifteen years is still too long, I'm not young, let's let him come back as soon as possible to help me." What do you think of ten years? ”
Meng Tian listened, and his heart was happy, I will wait for you to make a counteroffer. He gave Fusu a look, Fusu understood, nodded, and said, "Okay, just ten years." In the past ten years, Prince Maodun will be treated with considerable courtesy, please rest assured. I will ask someone to teach him to learn about our Chinese culture, and I will also perform the work of writing creation and historical collation. These all need to be contributed by Prince Maoton! In the future, he must be a well-educated and eloquent grassland leader. ”
Mao Dun's head drooped, it's okay, these people changed his fate with a few eyes and words!
Xiao Han breathed a long sigh of relief, Tou Manshan Yu finally lived up to her expectations! As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, she has come from the 21st century, and the head man is still in nature! It seems that that sentence should be changed to be easy to change in time and space, and difficult to change in nature. I don't know if he was thinking about his youngest son's succession to the throne for that brief silence just now.
