Volume 1 Chapter 60 Closed Negotiations

The dilapidated Yanmen Gate was closed, and the elite troops of the two sides lined up in a neat formation.

The army on the side of Yanmen Pass is the Fenwu Army, and at the front of the array is a thousand Qinglong battalions, and behind the Qinglong battalions, there are a thousand strong bow battalions. At the front of the Qinglong camp was a young man in his twenties and his two entourage, who were none other than Xu Miao, the county commander of Pingcheng County, who was the plenipotentiary representative of the Fenwu Army for the negotiations.

The army on the other side, the number of which is about 2,000 people, all cavalry, each exuding a fierce aura, is the elite army in the middle of the Southern Xiongnu - the Great Leader Escort. At the front of the big chief's escort, there was a man in his thirties, and there were also two retinues by his side, and this middle-aged man was the plenipotentiary representative sent by the Southern Xiongnu Army for this negotiation - the right king of the Southern Xiongnu Wugu.

Seeing that the other party had arrived, and according to the requirements, they only brought two retinues and two thousand soldiers, looked at each other and smiled, expressing their satisfaction with each other's approach, and then Pingcheng County ordered Xu Miao and the right king of the Huns to enter a temporary tent with their entourage, and sat opposite each other to negotiate.

Although Han Cheng, under Xu Miao's persuasion, was not so worried that the Southern Hun army in Lou Fuguan would attack the county seat in Yanmen County at any time, but if it was delayed for a little longer, there might be more variables, so Han Cheng was still very anxious in his heart.

And Hu Chuquan, the big leader of the Southern Hun Army, was even more afraid that Liu Neng, the king of Zuo, would not listen to the command and attack the county seat in Yanmen County in order to expand his prestige in the clan.

Therefore, after the right king Wugu returned to the Southern Xiongnu camp, in less than an hour, Han Cheng sent someone to the camp to inform Hu Chuquan that the Fenwu army agreed to negotiate, and the sooner the better.

Seeing that Han Cheng agreed to negotiate, Hu Chuquan called the right king Wu Gu to say a few words, and then arranged for Wu Gu to come to Yanmen Pass to negotiate, and strive to end the war as soon as possible through negotiation.

As a result, there are now Xu Miao and black bones in the big tent.

Wu Gu glanced at Xu Miao and said contemptuously: "Is there no one under your general?" It's really insulting to send such a stinky boy like you to negotiate with me. ”

Xu Miao showed a very generous look, and said softly: "I thought that the right king of the Southern Huns was a humble gentleman, but I didn't expect that when we met, I only saw a barking dog." ”

Wu Gu heard Xu Miao scolding himself for being a dog, and he was furious in his heart, and "Teng" stood up suddenly, and said viciously: "Believe it or not, I will kill you now, and let your general change another negotiator." ”

Xu Miao laughed, and said to the black bone with a look of contempt: "What about the right king, I really doubt how you got into this position?" Is your tribe a fool and a king?

Don't say that you kill me now, even if you move a single hair of my hair, I dare to guarantee that the heads of your 4,000 captives of the Southern Huns will be placed in front of your big leader's tent one by one.

Scare me, phew! Don't use useless means, it's better to negotiate as soon as possible than anything else. ”

As soon as he entered the big tent, the right king Wugu saw that the comer was young, and he had a plan: he wanted to scare this young man with his murderous aura for many years, so as to gain a greater advantage in the negotiation.

Unexpectedly, this young man had sharp eyes, and he broke his intention in less than two sentences, but fortunately there were few people in the big tent, otherwise he would be embarrassed.

Seeing that he couldn't intimidate Xu Miao, Wu Gu changed his face and said, "When I came, our big leader Hu Chuquan had already said that I could represent him with full authority.

Now that both of us have bargaining chips, it is fundamental for both of us to complete the negotiations as soon as possible and return to our lives. ”

Xu Miao saw that the black bones had changed their faces, and they also changed their pleasant appearance, and said, "This is exactly what my father-in-law meant. ”

Wu Gu heard Xu Miao say that Han Cheng's thoughts were the same as those of his big leader, Hu Chuquan, and he spoke first:

"I won't say so much useless, let's talk about the first one first, the exchange of prisoners. When we attacked Lou Fu Pass, we captured many soldiers.

One for the other, first exchange for my two thousand warriors of the Southern Huns, you have no opinion. ”

Xu Miao said: "I don't have any opinion on this first article. ”

Wu Gu continued: "Since there is no opinion, then the first article of the negotiation is reached. Let's talk about our second article, our Southern Xiongnu army is now occupying Lou Fu Pass, threatening the six counties in Yanmen County at any time, what do you exchange for these places? ”

Xu Miao said: "Lord Youwang has such a big breath, don't talk so full." We admit that Lou Fu Pass, it is indeed occupied by your Southern Xiongnu army now, but the other six counties in Yanmen County Pass have nothing to do with you. Why should we pay the price in exchange? ”

Wu Gu said with a sneering face: "I heard that the Han people are the most famous officials, and they don't give up the people easily; I didn't expect to meet the first person to be an official, but he didn't take the people seriously at all. ”

Xu Miao said: "The right king came to negotiate, but he didn't prepare anything, and he didn't know anything?"

We are the Fenwu Army of Jizhou, what does it have to do with the people of Jizhou? Will you harm your own tribe for the sake of an unrelated tribe?

Regarding the second article, we mean to exchange 1,000 prisoners and 3,000 war horses for Lou Fu Pass. ”

When I heard it, the conditions were good. But his face couldn't be too obvious, so he could only pretend to be embarrassed, and said: "Isn't it a little too little to want to exchange such a thing for such a majestic pass as Lou Fu Pass." You release all the remaining captives of our side, and the war horses are still 3,000, and I can agree now on behalf of our great leader. ”

Because when the black bone came, the big leader Hu Chuquan told him that Lou Fuguan must be returned to the Fenwu Army, so that Liu Neng's exploits could be polished away. As soon as the black bone saw that the Fenwu army had the meaning of changing Lou Annoyance,

I wanted to open my mouth so that I could prepare for future bargaining.

As a result, I met Xu Miao, a knowledgeable person. Second, the conditions of the Fenwu Army remain unchanged at all.

Wu Gu was depressed, after an hour of negotiation with Xu Miao, Wu Gu felt that his mouth was dry, but Xu Miao was still indifferent, so that Wu Gu was defeated in his heart, so it was better to forget it.

So, the second article was also decided, and the Fenwu army exchanged 1,000 prisoners and 3,000 war horses of the Southern Xiongnu for Lou Fu Pass.

Next, Xu Miao put forward two conditions: the first condition was that the remaining 1,000 captives of the Southern Xiongnu, and after the reconstruction of Yanmen Pass was completed, the Fenwu Army would release them back to the Southern Xiongnu. During this period, food and lodging were all taken care of by the Fenwu Army.

This is the meaning of the Fenwu Army, not all the prisoners to the Southern Xiongnu, must be kept in their hands, so that the Southern Xiongnu army will be jealous, dare not easily attack Yanmen Pass.

Right King Wugu disagreed at first, but finally said that the Fenwu Army was responsible for food and housing, so he happily agreed. The Southern Xiongnu tribes are worried about food, and suddenly someone rushes to send food by themselves, how can they not be happy?

The second condition is that Yanmen County pays 3,000 stone of grain in exchange for 10,000 pieces of good sheepskin from Huchuquan.

This was a negotiation condition that Han Cheng suddenly added, and Xu Miao didn't ask too much, so he brought it up.

Right Wang Wugu calculated that this price was slightly lower than that on the market, but he should buy a face for the Fenwu Army, and he also agreed to the second condition on the spot.

The rest of the time is for both sides to work out some details.
