Chapter 791: Peace Talks
Mo Li looked at that person, and felt that this person's heart was not right, it seemed that this person was the main battle faction.
"This person who persuaded the king must have been a person who was very close to the king, why was he so ignorant of current affairs?
How can you be sure that I will not give you food to grow? The Central Plains people have an advantage, presumably the king does not know, and the Central Plains people are helpful.
If the king wishes, when spring comes, I can send the king seeds and teach the king's subjects to grow grain on the grassland.
As long as the grain is planted well, this prince believes that in winter, the king's subjects will not be without any grain, so they can only rely on grabbing it to fight for a way to survive. Besides, when this war began, did the king decide that the king would win? ”
The King of the Huns looked at Mo Li, thought for a while and frowned, "But what about this winter?" Are we all going to die? ”
Mo Li asked rhetorically: "Then does the king want to fight with the rest of the people?" The king knew in his heart that if there was really going to be a war at this time, it was the Huns who lost in the end.
Since the king of the Huns wanted to give the opportunity to this son, the son of the world would naturally not refuse. The Mo family army must defend the border city, and at most they will lose both. ”
The Hun King's eyes darkened, no matter what, he was dead, so it was better to fight. "Mo Shizi has forced this king to a dead end, since he can't grab food, he can only watch his people starve to death, it's better to risk his life to fight."
Mo Li smiled coldly, "I have a plan, at least I can solve the urgent need, but it depends on whether the king is willing or not." ”
After hearing this, the Hun King was overjoyed, but immediately turned into a sneer, "Yes." Mo Shizi would be so kind, Mo Shizi should not forget that the Xiongnu and the Mo family army have been mortal enemies for generations, shouldn't Mo Shizi try his best to take revenge? How did you think of helping the Huns? ”
Mo Li smiled faintly. Nearly 10,000 soldiers in the snow listened to the conversation of the commander of Army C so quietly, in fact, it was best for the soldiers not to do anything.
The war that lasted for half a year had already made the soldiers on both sides yearn for peace and hope for a peaceful year.
Moreover, in the large camp of the army, there are still hundreds of good wounded and sick people lying now, and I saw that many of them injured their arms. The comrades-in-arms who are in pain and wailing, no one feels good.
Although there is hatred in my heart, there is also worry. I'm afraid that the next one will be me. Although Mo Jiajun is not afraid of death, he also hopes to solve the problem without guò dead people.
"The most Xiongnu are war horses and beef and mutton, and the king can sell some war horses and cattle and sheep to the Central Plains, and then exchange more rice and flour from the Central Plains back to the Xiongnu.
There are these things. Presumably, as long as you make the best use of it. We will definitely be able to alleviate the situation. At least not more people will starve to death! ”
Mo Li wanted the strong war horses of the Huns, and the Hun king would eventually accept it by exchanging grain for food, and using some war horses and cattle and sheep could be exchanged for life-saving food for everyone, although it would hurt for a while, but compared to watching the people die, the Hun king would agree.
So Mo Li is not worried about refusal, and he is confident. And Mo Li is reluctant to go to war, and there are other reasons. If you can subdue the Xiongnu, it is more useful than attacking the Xiongnu.
The king of the Huns couldn't pay attention to it for a while, but he understood it in his heart. If the loss of horses, cattle and sheep can save the lives of the people, I believe that most people will agree.
It's just that the main battle faction will definitely oppose it, and their reasons are also very sufficient, if they send war horses, then what will the Hun warriors use to fight? However, the king of the Huns did not want to let his people suffer cold and starvation because of his impulse.
The hesitation of the Hun king infected the Hun warriors, first of all, these warriors were also raised by their parents, and they also needed to feed their families and hope to have food.
Secondly, the purpose of launching this war was to force the people of the Central Plains to hand over their grain. So naturally among them hope that there will be a solution, that they can solve this winter, as long as the winter is over, everything is easy to say.
Therefore, the commander of the Central Plains put forward many attractive conditions, exchanging war horses, cattle and sheep for food, and people were immediately moved.
The winter of the Huns is a disaster, not to mention cattle and sheep, that is, people have no grass to eat, even if they don't say that they starve to death every year, even cattle and sheep will be starved to death.
"This king wants to go back and discuss with everyone before replying to the prince, but this king is a little curious, in addition to the fact that the prince does not want to increase the casualties, is there any other reason why the prince does not want to have a war?" The king of the Huns felt that this matter was not simple.
Mo Li looked at the white snow and nodded: "The king, please take care of yourself, as for the reason why the king wants to know, this prince feels that as long as the people on both sides of the Xiongnu and the Central Plains are harmless, there is no need to say it explicitly." Besides, the king is not like such a small family and a person who likes to inquire about things! ”
The king of the Huns nodded, sat on a high war horse and arched his hands, "I hope that Mo Shizi can really help our Hun people as you said." However, the new emperor of your country does not seem to be an ordinary person, will he give up such a good opportunity? ”
The expression on Mo Li's face remained unchanged, but his eyes still moved slightly, "The king really cares a lot, the emperor governs the country with benevolence, righteousness and filial piety, if the king of the Huns can lead the people of the Huns to live a rich life,
The prince believed that the emperor was willing to form a friendship with the king. The style of the Central Plains people should be very clear that they will never take the initiative to attack any country, but the premise is that the Central Plains will not be attacked and will not be harmed. ”
The King of the Huns nodded seriously and patted his chest with his fist, "This king will think about it!" After saying that, thousands of Hun warriors sat on high-headed war horses and slowly left.
After they left, the snow field they had occupied before was a mess, but when the snow covered the muddy water again, it was clear again.
General Fang beside Mo Li hesitated, "Lord Shizi, don't you think this is a problem of raising tigers?" The Huns are cunning, presumably the prince has also learned, if this opportunity is missed, when spring comes, I am afraid that we will be more seriously injured. ”
Mo Li shook his head, his eyes were cold: "Not to mention that we have suffered heavy casualties, the soldiers don't want to continue the war." If it can be resolved peacefully, why should people die? And General Fang should know that we also need to rest. ”
General Fang is an old man who has followed the Mo family army for many years, and Mo Li also trusts General Fang's ability, but in the same way, this General Fang has too much hatred for the Huns.
In Mo Li's thoughts, General Fang would rather exchange one Mo family army for two Huns, as long as he can win and fight with his life!
It is precisely because of this that General Yan did not marry a wife and have children, because General Fang knew that with such a temperament, he would not return on the battlefield, so why should he cause harm to others?
"But did the prince ever think that once the Huns became strong, they would definitely try their best to swallow the border cities, the ambition of the Huns was not just to be fed and clothed, they were like hungry wolves, they always wanted more."
Mo Li knew that it was still difficult to convince General Fang, but Mo Li really wanted to take the Xiongnu for his own use, and the Mo family army and the Xiongnu had been fighting endlessly for so many years.
In the land of the border city, the Mo family shed too much blood. Mo Li wanted to change his way, to change a way that was more beneficial to the Mo family. (To be continued......)
