He Xian felt that the Xiongnu dared to attack Zhao and Qin on a large scale in the past, and they might not be defeated by Donghu, but Mao Dun actually did this, which he felt was very abnormal.

The Xiongnu men and horses stopped near the settlement, and the Xiongnu leaders were led into the king's tent.

He Xi observed the surrounding situation again, this is the largest gathering place of the Donghu people, each tent is a family residence, the nomads are all soldiers, every man is proficient in horsemanship, and he is a soldier when he takes up arms.

He can't just walk around, except to observe with his eyes, which can only be heard with his ears.

He again pretended to be interested in Donghu, and talked to the Donghu soldiers with a humble demeanor, trying to learn more about the nomads during the conversation.

Of course, what he said did not involve taboos and confidential matters, so as not to arouse suspicion on the other side.

In front of the people of the Central Plains, Donghu Bing always had a high-minded demeanor, and said something to He Yan.

After talking for a while, He Xianwang saw that the ten Hun women had been brought into the king's tent.

At this time, a Donghu soldier next to him said: "This time the Huns sent too few women, last time they sent dozens of women, and our thousand cavalry commanders were fortunate to be given one by the king." ”

This Donghu soldier was only the lowest-ranking officer, and he had ten non-commissioned officers under his command, called Shi Cavalry Commander, and the Thousand Cavalry Commander he called had a thousand soldiers under his command.

After a while, I saw that the two Huns who had gone into the king's tent came out again, and the horses they had brought were driven into the stable, and the ten women who had gone in did not come out again.

After a while, I saw a man come out of the tent opposite, walking towards the king's tent.

The nomads of Saibei will be a little different from the Chinese people in appearance, and He Xian can see at a glance that this is a Chinese person.

The entourage also looked at the man, and blurted out: "This is Gongsun said, it is Gongsun who is the county guard of Beiping County." ”

This entourage's name is Ma Ash, who was originally a small official on the border between Beiping County and Donghu in the right of Yan Kingdom, and he has seen Gongsun Shuo several times.

The last time was more than half a month ago, when Gongsun said that he had passed through a pass on the Great Wall, and ordered the local soldiers to open the city gate as a county guard, and Ma Shen happened to be present at that time.

He said, "It turns out that he is the county guard who escaped. ”

After setting out from Jicheng, he heard about horse ash from the mouth of Ma Ash.

Gongsun said that he heard the two of them talking and looked at them.

Ma Shen said coldly to him: "Lord Gongsun, I didn't expect you to escape here!" ”

Gongsun said, "Who are you?" ”

He didn't have any impression of He Xian, but he was a little familiar with Ma Ash.

Ma Gray said in a questioning tone: "Eighteen days ago, you went out of the Great Wall, don't you remember me?" ”

He was very contemptuous of Gongsun saying that he had escaped and came to Donghu.

Gongsun said that he remembered it and said, "It turned out to be that little official, what did he do here?" Could it be that he defected to Donghu like me? ”

He Yan suddenly became angry, and said coldly: "Hmph! You traitor to a foreign race! I am a dignified Zhao State Minister's servant! ”

Even in this era, if you take refuge in the princes of all walks of life, at most you will betray a certain monarch, and if you take refuge in the nomads, you will be despised by the people of the world.

Knowing that the other party was an official of Zhao State, Gongsun Shuo was immediately angry, and said heavily: "Hmph! Zhao Xie and Li Zuoche are two bastards who killed my son, and I am inseparable from them. It seems that you are ordered to send Donghu, you must have asked for someone, don't want the king to agree! Hum! ”

With that, he hurried towards the king's tent.

He Yan saw that after he walked to the door of the king's tent, he said a few words to the guards, and then he was let in, and he suddenly felt bad, it must be that the king of Donghu accepted Gongsun and said, he is bound to make a hindrance from it, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to convince the king of Donghu.

After a while, a man from the king's tent walked out and came to He Xian and said, "The king has summoned the envoys of the Zhao State. ”

He Xian and Ma Shen followed the man to the king's tent door, where there was a cloth door, and when the cloth door was opened, there was a burst of warmth in the face.

After entering the king's tent, I saw the Donghu soldiers guarding the important places in the tent, and there were several people dressed as Donghu ministers on the left and right, and each of them had a charcoal fire in front of them.

The man in front of the center, about forty years old, with a beard, looked at the two people who came in with contempt, and it was Gongsun Shuo who stood beside him.

Originally, the ten women sent by the Xiongnu were here, and each official on the left and right sides had a woman next to them, and two of the most beautiful were returned to the king of Donghu, who was being hugged by the king of Donghu left and right.

He Yan walked to the king of Donghu and stopped at a certain distance, clasped his fists and said loudly: "He Yan, the envoy of the Zhao State, has seen the king of Donghu!" ”

After that, bow to the other party.

Ma Gray then translated it into Donghu language.

The beauty was in his arms, and King Donghu was happy, and he replied with a word.

Gongsun said and then said, "The king orders you to kneel down and kowtow quickly!" ”

He Yan and Ma Ash both scolded Gongsun in their hearts, but they had to do this, so they had to kneel down and kowtow and stand up again.

Gongsun said loudly, "Did the king tell you to get up?" ”

He Yan glanced at King Donghu, and the other party had an arrogant attitude, so he had to kneel down again.

"My lord, the foreign minister came on the order of King Zhao, hoping to make a deal with Donghu that would be beneficial to both parties. Zhao could buy horses from Donghu at great expense, or exchange them for salt, silk, and other items that Donghu lacked. ”

He Yan said neither humbly nor arrogantly, and Ma Shen immediately translated in Donghu language.

If it was the Qin State that unified the Central Plains like before, the King of Donghu might be jealous, but now even Mao Dun bowed to him, and the Central Plains region was divided, and the King of Donghu did not take the Zhao State in his eyes at all.

When He Yan spoke, although he heard it, he didn't look at He Yan directly, his attention was on the beauties around him, thinking that the two beauties sent by Mao Dun were indeed good, and they could enjoy it tonight.

Gongsun said that he observed the words and looked at the feelings, and said to the king of Donghu in Donghu language: "King, although these two women are beautiful, they are far inferior to a woman in the Central Plains. ”

When King Donghu heard this, he immediately became interested and asked which woman it was.

Gongsun said: "This woman is Zhao Qian, the queen of King Zhao, who is so smart and smart, how can she be compared to a Hun woman." Unless King Zhao dedicates Zhao Qian to the king, he can show sincerity! ”

Ma Shen heard his words clearly, and whispered to He Xian.

After hearing this, He Yan was even more furious, and he couldn't wait to cook Gongsun when he said this traitor, and combined with the attitude of King Donghu, he had come to the conclusion that King Donghu had no possibility of agreeing to a deal, and could only start from other tribes.

I only listened to the king of Donghu chatter and said a few words.

The Donghu officials at the scene immediately burst into laughter.

I only heard Gongsun say: "The king has a life, and King Zhao needs to sacrifice Zhao Qian to show sincerity and negotiate a deal with you." ”

He Xianqiang endured his anger and said, "The envoy will go back tomorrow, and he will report the original words to my king and take his leave!" ”

He stood up and walked out of the king's tent with laughter.
