"Tuoba Liwei actually came over to blackmail?" Liu Tao frowned, in the will given to Bu Dugen, it was indeed not explained that the spoils obtained from the pursuit would be attributed to the big man.

It's just that according to the international general rules, do you still need to explain? Doesn't it seem more arrogant?

And just as Zhang Fei said, if there is really a war, will the big man still be afraid of the root of the step? A few years ago, maybe you have to consider Liu Hong's thoughts, but now whether you want him or not only needs him a thought.

"Does Tuoba Liwei mean Budugen, or does he mean himself?" Liu Tao looked at Guo Jia and the others, this time the matter was big or small, so he called the officials of the Ministry of War.

"Judging from the news that came back, this should be Tuoba Liwei's own meaning." Guo Jia stepped forward, "Bu Dugen is not a reckless man, he can weigh the interests and give up Baiyun, so naturally he won't mind if we take the spoils." ”

After a pause, he added: "It's just that he knows that he can't beat it, and he still fights, maybe his intention is not to be those trophies at all, but to provoke the relationship between us and the root of Budu." ”

"Since Budugen can let out Baiyun, he will naturally acquiesce to us taking away the loot." Liu Tao replied casually, "Tuoba Liwei did that, it's good if he doesn't get angry, and will he listen to him provoke?" ”

"It can only be said that there is this possibility, and the follow-up depends on Budugen's reaction." Guo Jia replied, after all, they are Hu people, and it is difficult to say whether they have the same thoughts as them. Maybe with a twitch of the head, it's possible to make a random decision.

"Let Lu Bu be on guard a little, and the area from Yunzhong to Baiyun will be on guard." Liu Tao sighed.

I couldn't help but glance at Zhu Jun, after all, this person had already reminded him more than once to expand his recruitment. It's just a matter of lack of supplies, so it has to be postponed until after next year's summer harvest.

Originally, the manpower must be enough, but now if there is a war with Budugen, then the manpower is a little embarrassed. At the beginning, Zhang Fei was only allowed to pursue for 300 miles, but in fact, there were also considerations in this regard.

"There's no need to be so nervous, after all, border trade should be inseparable for Budugen." Guo Jia smiled, "Cracks may appear, but it doesn't affect anything. In other words, Tuoba Liwei's behavior will not have any practical impact on our relationship with Budugen, which makes the minister a little unclear. ”

Indeed, if it didn't make any difference, why did he do that? For this reason, thousands of soldiers and horses were also lost, and there was a kind of loss that outweighed the losses and was not pleasing to both sides......

Or are these Hu people's brain circuits really very novel? Liu Tao didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, be careful and don't take the initiative to provoke, but definitely don't be afraid of the other party." Liu Tao officially decreed, "After the summer harvest next year, we will begin to expand enrollment in an all-round way." According to conservative estimates, at least 20,000 troops will be recruited! ”

"Speaking of which, Wen Ruo's side seems to have plans to reserve supplies for an additional 30,000 people." Guo Jia reminded him a little, although he was suspected of betraying his teammates.

"Well done!" Liu Tao gave him a thumbs up, he just said so conservatively, he just cared about Xun Yu's side. Since there is a plan to expand the enrollment of 30,000 people, then the expansion of 30,000 people should be no problem.

Of course, that is only an estimate, after all, the actual situation should be judged according to the situation of the summer harvest.

"Ahem......" Zhu Jun coughed lightly, this Liu Tao is still so unserious when he becomes an emperor, and he has no prestige at all.

At the same time, Tuobaliwei had also come to the Khan's tent. In order to distinguish it from the Xiongnu, the leader of Xianbei was the first to use 'Khan' as a title, and of course the earliest Chinese translation was 'Kehan'.

Of course, at present, there is only the root of the step like this, and other places still use 'Shan Yu' to call their kings.

"Zhang Fei suddenly came out and snatched your loot?" Budugen looked at Tuoba Liwei. Tuoba Liwei in front of him was very embarrassed, with wounds on his body, and came over with a group of 'remnants' to complain to him.

"My subordinates were attacking Kebineng's tribe, but I didn't expect the Han army to suddenly kill. The general with the swallow jaw and tiger whiskers at the head suddenly killed, saying that they found out first. The subordinates argued with reason, but they didn't know how to annoy the other party, so they attacked even their subordinates and snatched all the spoils......" Tuoba Li said slightly aggrieved.

"After being in contact with the Han army for so long, what are they like, doesn't Ben Khan know it?" Bu Dugen sneered, "Liwei, if it weren't for your father's loyalty to me, you, the patriarch, might not be able to become the patriarch, what will happen if you deceive me, you know!" ”

"The subordinates are also loyal to the Great Khan!" Tuoba Liwei hurriedly defended, "But there is no way to guarantee that after the Han people defeated Kebineng, they felt that we were the only ones left in the grassland, and they felt that we were beginning to threaten them, so they changed their attitudes?" ”

"This ......" Bu Dugen began to ponder when he heard this, after all, this possibility could not be ruled out.

There were originally two packs of wolves in the grassland, and before the winner was decided to produce the wolf king, the hunters were not in a hurry. But once the wolf king appears, the hunter will probably have to worry that this pack of wolves will start to attack his hometown.

Judging from long-term experience, the struggle between the grassland and the Han people is actually like this. If there is a strong king on one side, they will attack the other side until the king falls.

"It doesn't matter whether the general's attitude represents himself or the attitude of the Han himself. Khan, if we can't predict the crisis in advance and take precautions, with the current strength of the Great Han, we will still suffer. "Tuoba Liwei knows that the root of the step will waver, and the more confident and wise the person, the easier it is to doubt everything.

"Then you say, how to prevent it?" Budugen was silent for a while, and finally looked at Tuoba Liwei.

"Perhaps, we can spare Kebineng's life and let him defect to the Great Khan. According to the rules of the steppe, he has already lost the loser, and the loser submits to the strong, there is nothing to say. With his example, it will be much easier for those people in the east to be subdued, which is called 'buying horse bones for thousands of dollars' in the Han region. Tuobali replied slightly.

Do you really think he will let go of hatred in the past few years? The wolf is the creature that holds the most grudges, so in the past few years, he has worked hard to collect books from the Han people, but he has been studying, constantly learning, so that he can fully understand everything about the Han people.

After a pause, he continued: "In addition, Kebineng's side also seems to have something to do with the Han people. You can ask him to give the contact method with the Han people, so that we can have one more person to trade, so that we don't have to rely on the Han emperor for everything. ”

When Budugen heard this, he really began to move. Recently, he has become more and more dependent on border trade, and he can also see that if he continues, his own tribe may gradually become inseparable from the border trade of the Han court.

In the future, it will be easy to be controlled by others using border trade, and once the border trade is ended, the subsequent impact will be very serious. If you find another trading partner, then you can indeed have more initiative in trade.

And as an ambitious Xianbei Khan, Budugen also wants to restore the Xianbei strength of the Tanshi Huai period. In this way, the chieftains in the east will naturally have to be conquered.

After some final weighing, Budugen agreed to Tuobaliwei's proposal......
