Yu Qiangqu, the great commander of the Southern Xiongnu, also showed his sincerity: not only did the people who led the mission send his son Youxian Wang Yufuluo, but also arrested some of the Xiongnu tribal leaders who participated in the attack on the Xinghan army with the Xianbei people last time, loaded more than a dozen prisoner carts and escorted them all to Xinghan City, handed them over to the Xinghan army, and humbly begged Wang Bo to forgive him for the crime of negligence. He also brought a lot of fine furs and more than a dozen high-quality war horses as gifts.

Wang Bo still has some impression of Yu Fuluo: he is also a relatively aggrieved figure in the history of the late Han Dynasty. Originally loyal to the Han family, when Zhang Chun colluded with the Wuhuan rebellion, he also led the Hun cavalry to help, not long, the Huns were dissatisfied with the Han court's forcible conquest, and his father Qiangqu was killed by the rebellious troops, and supported the general Xu Bu Gu Du Marquis as the new single Yu.

In desperation, Yu Fuluo went to the Han capital to ask for help, hoping to restore the country with the help of the power of the Han court, but it happened that Emperor Ling was killed, the court was in chaos, and he was detained for several years, and later took advantage of the chaos to escape. wanted to return to the homeland of the Xiongnu, but was not accepted by the people, and saw that he could not return to his subordinates, so he had to gather a small number of loyal subordinates to stay in Hedong.

Yu Fuluo, who was greatly disappointed in the Han court, later colluded with the Baibo army to plunder everywhere and participate in the war between the princes. Until the surrender of Cao Cao. The most commendable thing is that when Emperor Han Xian was killed, he did not change his original intention to protect him, and he can be regarded as a person of great affection and sex.

Therefore, Wang Bo did not put up a shelf, and met Yu Fuluo in Xinghan City, Yu Fuluo presented the gifts he brought, praised Wang Bo for descending to earth, Xinghan army and the tiger army, and expressed the desire of the Huns to trade a large number of Xinghan wine.

Wang Bo was not moved at all by Yu Fuluo's extravagant praise. took him to visit the newly built Xinghan Army Martyrs Cemetery, pointed to the coffins of the fallen soldiers on the ground that had not yet had time to be buried, and said in strong terms: The Xinghan Army brothers are all warriors who would rather bend than bend, and their blood will not be shed in vain.

Since the Xiongnu tribes involved are not from the meaning of Qiangqu, it is out of the intention of their own tribe. Although he finally quit when he saw the opportunity, this kind of greedy heart of taking advantage of the fire is unforgivable! These chieftains were also exempted from capital crimes, and their tribes were required to send 5,000 young men to serve in the Seoul coolie camp for several months, after which they would be released along with their leaders. And Wang Bo promised that he would not deliberately abuse his people, and when he was released, there were no less than 4,500 people.

Otherwise, the Xinghan army will cut off the trade routes to Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang and other places, and prevent a grain of grain, a piece of iron, and a catty of salt from entering the Xiongnu tribe.

As for Yu Fuluo's proposal to trade a large amount of Xinghan wine, Wang Bo responded: Xinghan City is willing to do business with all Hu people who remain friendly, and Xinghan wine is supplied in sufficient quantities according to output, except for a slight restriction on medical wine. The price can be compared with the caravans in the past, but Xinghan City does not accept coins, and the only things that the Huns can use to trade are war horses, cattle and sheep, and high-quality furs that can be made into armor.

After listening to this, Yu Fuluo, who was full of humility, touched the fluffy mink tail next to his cheek, did not respond on the spot, and bent down to give a salute and said: This matter is very important, and his father Qiangqu Da Shan Yu needs to be in charge, he immediately sent someone to return to the Xiongnu land quickly, told Da Shan Yu what Wang Bo meant, and asked him to reply to Xinghan City as soon as possible.

For the sake of Yu Fuluo bringing some good horses, and in order to show his sincerity in being willing to get close to the Xiongnu, Wang Bo simply set up a banquet, took out his own collection of good Xinghan tonic wine, entertained Yu Fuluo, found someone to accompany him around, and threw him aside and ignored him.

And Yu Fuluo didn't think it was wrong, and every day he pestered Niu Hong, who accompanied him, to visit all corners of Xinghan City, and his eyes were full of little stars of worship.

A few days later, Yu Fuluo met with Wang Bo and told him that Qiangqu Shan Yu had agreed to all the requirements of the Xinghan army, and had sent 5,000 service coolies to Wujin outside the city, accompanied by nearly 1,000 cattle, sheep and war horses for the exchange of Xinghan wine, and asked Wang Bo to send someone to accept it.

After listening to Yu Fuluo's narration, Wang Bo was very happy, and he was more than every time he saw Zhang Ning. Under the great joy, he also gave Qiangqu more than a dozen catties of medicinal wine, fruit wine and some new furniture, and comforted Yu Fuluo with kind words, and then arranged for Yu Fuluo, who had great respect for Xinghan City, to return.

Looking at the figure of Yu Fuluo leading the delegation of the Southern Xiongnu and leaving with a humble smile and respect, Wang Bo not only thought: This pair of Xiongnu is a father and son, and they are actually very subordinate and loyal to the Han Dynasty, and they represent the gratitude of the older generation to the kindness of the Han Dynasty. Later, the restlessness of the Xiongnu was due to the mediocrity and war of the Han court, which created opportunities for some tribesmen with different aspirations.

It seems that at any time, you have to be strong yourself, so that others dare not underestimate you.

After this battle, according to Wang An's description, Wang Bo estimated that the Xianbei people should have lost at least half of their youth, and Budugen is probably already burning his eyebrows now, and he is trying to appease his people, right? How can there be time to take care of the invasion of Heunghan again?

At present, Wang Bo has to think about how to develop and strengthen the nascent small regime of Xinghan, and after accumulating enough strength, if he can take Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and Wuyuan, which are entrenched by the Xianbei people, in one fell swoop before Zhang Chun's rebellion next year, then the remaining Southern Huns will surrender just around the corner! If you appease and educate for a few more years, you will become Han Chinese, and there will be no opposing contradictions.

And if you want to develop and grow, in this troubled world, it is nothing more than self-sufficiency in money and food, and self-reliance in armor.

To put it simply, at least food should be self-sufficient, so that Xinghan people can eat enough, which is fundamental. This battle also made Wang Bo feel the urgency of this matter, the caravan was only cut off for more than a month, and the food supply of Xinghan City was already stretched, if it wasn't for the victory in the first battle, then Wang Bo needed to worry most about not the tens of thousands of troops of the Xianbei people, but the problem of what he would eat next.

Let's learn Cao Cao's Tuntian! The two rivers in front of us can't be wasted like the ancients, and we can sort out some garbage poems of "the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky", let's use the canals and waterwheels to irrigate the farmland. As soon as Wang Bo thought of these "poet immortals" and "word saints", he became angry, they are all foolish things who are full and don't know how hungry men are hungry, and ordinary people always care about their own jobs and ....... Wang Bo, who was idle, began to travel again.

Chen Rong, who hadn't sat together for a long time, came to the door at this time and complained to Wang Bo: This logistics coolie battalion has taken too many prisoners recently, although Yang Feng has been given a lot, but it is still overcrowded, and Chen Rong has no powerful generals around him. Besides, now that the two passes and roads have been built, there is no need for large-scale coolies, and the various workshops dare not use them, so they have to eat and drink...... said a lot, in fact, just one sentence: I don't want these bearded people who eat for nothing!

Wang Bo looked at Old Man Chen, who had added a lot of gray hair, and hurriedly apologized: "Old Man Chen forgives his sins!" Forgiveness! Innocuous negligence! ”

Chen Rong, who was still pouting just now, immediately changed into a kind face, and sighed: "Don't be like this, the Lord Rongguan has led our people all the way to this day, and there is no day that I will not be exhausted, lest my Xinghan fall into a place where there will be no return!" Alas, it is difficult for the Lord to do so! As he spoke, he wiped his eyes: "Why don't I give up this old bone?" In Rong Xin, are you only in the name of the lord? I would have regarded it as a nephew and nephew! ……”。

talked a lot, like a mother in her previous life. Wang Bo couldn't help but feel a warm current rushing to his heart, and his eyes were reddened: "Old Chen treats Qingyi like a relative, I am ashamed to accept it!" Now Qingyi is alone, not as good as ......".

When the old guy heard this, he immediately interrupted, shook his head and ran away.

"It's not serious! The whole crying master slipped upside down! Wang Bo scolded with a smile in his heart, but he also knew that Chen Rong's intention was to maintain his majesty in the Xinghan army, so he did not hesitate to flee to refuse.

Moved, he remembered the matter: Where should I arrange these captives? Send it back? Apparently not! Yes! Clearing the wasteland, preparing for farming, well... If you put the slaves in Wujin County and repair the mountain road, you will have to beat the Xianbei people in the clouds in the coming year?

After figuring it out, Wang Bo immediately called Yang Feng and then asked him to take charge of the matter.

First of all, find some old farmers to go to the river, demarcate a suitable place for farming, and divide half of the Xianbei captives to burn the weeds and trees on it directly, clean them out, and prepare for next year's spring ploughing. The remaining half was sent directly to repair the road.

After Yang Feng heard that Wang Bo asked the captives to repair the road, he looked at him a little strangely, and finally couldn't help but interject: "It's so cold!" How to build a road? After saying this, Wang Bo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly: That's right! How did I forget about this stubble?

simply waved his hand and gave a sentence: You can quarry the stone first! Anyway, we can't let these Hu people be idle! Push the problem to Yang Feng and ignore it again.

Perhaps it was because they saw the Huns trading with the Xinghan army with cattle and sheep, and the Xianbei people felt that the Xinghan army could also live in peace with the Hu people. Therefore, Bu Dugen fled back to the clouds, vomited blood and was in a coma for several days, and after waking up, he sent an envoy to Wujin County with his leaders, expressing his desire to negotiate peace with the Xinghan army.

After Wang Bo received Zhang Liao's message, he waved his pen and wrote a few crooked characters: If you want peace talks, you must show your sincerity. Then hand it over to the herald to send it back. I haven't had time to study it, Wang Bo, who wrote the words of this era, not only did the literary meaning be half a hundred good, but the words were also ugly, which made Xu Chu, who knew two words on the side, laugh for a while.

A few days later, the imperial slave guard will report that the Xianbei peace talks have arrived. Wang Bo hung for three days before he swaggered to the Royal Slave Pass and met with the peace envoy sent by Budugen.

The reception was arranged in a simple hut, and Wang Bo turned a blind eye to the 3,000 Han slaves he had brought with him, as well as many cattle, sheep and horses. After listening to the chatter for a while, he interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Wuxing Hancheng and other Hulu invaded on a large scale, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, and countless losses of money, food and materials, what do you want to do?" ”

"In this ......, Lord Wu Budugen made it clear before he left: In the future, all the Han people captured before will be returned! And set the general to offer cattle, sheep, and horses... It's just that this matter will take time, please wait for a few days......" The Xianbei peace envoy carefully wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his leather robe, and said intermittently.

"Oh? What is the remaining Han people among the Xianbei tribe? Wang Bo asked.

"After the first battle of the Imperial Slave Pass, there is not much left of the Han people, plus the number of sacrifices for the general this time, there are less than a thousand people in the clan, all of whom have been left for several years! And most of them are women...".

"Stay for a long time! Most of the female dependents? I'm afraid that children are on their knees and content with the status quo, and I don't want to force it for this! If there are people who wish to return to Han, then discuss this matter! Wang Bo thought for a while and then asked, "What are the plans of the tens of thousands of captives here?" ”

"I hope that the general will return to the clan, and the people of my Xianbei tribe will perceive the general's magnanimous benevolence, and swear that the general will never commit it again here!"

"Released for nothing? Didn't more than 1,000 soldiers of Wuxing Han die unjustly? Wang Bo raised his eyebrows.

"Also... It can also be exchanged for cattle and sheep ,...".

"How's it easy? I don't like cows and sheep! How is War Horse Trading? ”。

"This ...... The villain can't call the shots! When the villain returned to the clouds, Lord Budugen ...... after consulting with the various departments, Xianbei came to make even his face pale, and his sleeves kept wiping his head.

"Even so, tens of thousands of captives are in Wuxing Seoul, and people eat and chew horses, and they spend a lot of money! Wuxing Han Army Bubier and other Wild Hu, all of them can't bear it, and they have enough food and clothing every day! But if this goes on for a long time, I will also bear a heavy burden, how can I pay for it? ”

"This... The villain ......", seeing Wang Bo's brows wrinkling tighter and tighter, the Xianbei peace talks envoy couldn't help but feel weak while stammering, knelt down, looking at that look, if Wang Bo asked again, he was afraid that he would dare to pee into his clothes and pants.

Wang Bo said in disgust: "Since you don't know what to do, why are you going here?" This matter will be discussed later! "After saying that, he pulled his legs and left.

"The general spares his life! The general spares his life! The Xianbei peace envoy immediately rolled and climbed to the ground, and was about to drag Wang Bo's legs, but was kicked to the door by Xu Chu on the side, and was about to step forward and throw it out, but was stopped by Wang Bo.

"Hey! Zhong Kang Mo wants to be so rude! Isn't this a way of hospitality for my Xinghan? After speaking, he smiled and said to the Huns: "Return to the clouds, carry the regulations drafted by Budugen, and then discuss!" Oh, all the rest of the Han people are coming. ”

Wang Bo was not stingy, so he ordered Niu Er to take five catties of Xinghan medicinal wine and hand it over to the frightened Xianbei peace negotiator, which was regarded as a gift to Bu Dugen.

A few days later, the Xianbei envoy who came last time came to the Imperial Slave Pass again with some cattle, sheep, furs, and of course, more than 1,000 Han people mixed with many women and children. waited for three or four days, but did not wait for Wang Bo.

After Yang Feng was ordered to come, he didn't look at the compensation plan submitted by the Xianbei envoy, and directly told him the three conditions put forward by Xinghancheng.

First, compensate 50,000 high-quality war horses as compensation for the damage of the Xinghan army in the Battle of Yunu Pass. Second, compensate 30 BMW horses from the Western Regions as food expenses for tens of thousands of Xianbei captives in Xinghan City. Third, withdraw from the entire territory of Dingxiang County, and divide 100 miles east of the line of Shaling, Yunzhong, Beiyu, and Wuquan as a demilitarized zone, and no soldiers shall be stationed on both sides.

After these three conditions are met, the two sides will sign an agreement, and the details will be determined at that time. If Budugen wanted to exchange for a captive, then one captive for a high-class war horse, plus two pack horses.

After Yang Feng finished speaking expressionlessly, he immediately turned around and left.

And Xianbei came to make his eyes roll after hearing this, so he fainted: is this not just a lion's big mouth? It's like swallowing the sky! Let's not talk about the redemption of prisoners, only 50,000 war horses, or superior? will never hear the neighing of horses in his tribe again. Do you want to walk half of the land with abundant water and grass all at once? From now on, it will be directly demarcated from the Huanggan River where the Xianbei people drink horses! Crazy! Crazy!

To make it obvious that the weight among the Xianbei people is not light, do you know what it means once this condition is met? After listening to this, he stood on the spot, and it took a long time to understand: these devils of the Xinghan Army have no intention of negotiating peace at all! Then he immediately trotted out of the Imperial Slave Pass, only to find that his whole body was soaked.

Since then, there has been no response from the roots of Xianbei Budu, but Chengle, Wucheng, Antao, Dingxiang, etc., which originally belonged to Dingxiang County, and several Xianbei people in the county town close to Wujin, all evacuated, leaving only dozens of Han people, and notified the Xinghan army in Wujin County to come and receive them.
