After the negotiations.

Yan Rou didn't dare to stay for a moment, and hurried to Liaoxi to tell him about the 20,000 stone grain. Bunton is a rough man, where do you know the benefits.

Hearing Yan Rou say that she was going to give up the two counties, she was very unhappy.

Yan Rou patiently explained: "Yu Danyu, do you know what the tribes on the grassland need most? They need food the most! With 20,000 stone of grain, you have returned to the grasslands and come to join your tribe, and there are countless of them. At that time, you will be able to destroy the Three Kings and stabilize your position in the Wuhuan, isn't that what you have been thinking about for a long time? ”

"Indeed!"

He suddenly realized, and the smile on his face seemed to be more. But thinking that the two counties of Liaoxi and Xuansu were to be ceded to Yuan Xi, he was still a little reluctant: "But... We are fortunate to have worked so hard to lay down the territory, so it was given to Yuan Xi? Isn't it a joke? ”

"That's not a word for that!"

Yan Rou said: "Young Master Xi can give 20,000 stones of grain regardless of his previous suspicions, which shows his sincerity." You have always valued affection and righteousness, so you can't get the food and not return the gift, right? As for those who don't get food and want to talk about the wind and cold, it's not so much a joke about Shan Yu, but jealousy and envy, they know that Shan Yu's relationship with Xi Gongzi should be fearful. ”

"Well, you're right."

As if convinced, he sat on the tiger skin chair and said with a smile: "Yuan Xi has foresight, and he treats people more sincerely than his father." He's a friend, I'm willing to make it! ”

He remembered that half a year ago, when he was negotiating with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao gave him the title of Shan Yu in the name of the imperial court. On the surface, it seems to be affectionate, but in fact it is a false title.

also offended a large number of Wuhuan tribes because of this.

And now, Yuan Xi's approach is fundamentally different from Yuan Shao's.

20,000 stone of grain!

That's a huge fortune that can save the lives of millions of people on the grasslands.

Based on this, Bunton's gratitude and admiration for Yuan Xi far exceeded Yuan Shao.

He nodded secretly, patted the table, and said: "I have decided, the two counties of Liaoxi and Xuansu will be given to Yuan Xi, and after we get the grain, we will immediately return to Wuhuan Mountain to try to quell the civil strife as soon as possible." ”

"Alone in wisdom."

Yan Rou continued: "Yuan Xi Gongzi also said that he would set up a big market in Jixian County. No matter how many cattle, sheep and horses we have, as long as we bring them to Jixian County, they can be exchanged for grain. ”

"Is that true?"

"Listening to what Gongzi Xi said with your own ears, how can it be fake?"

Badun said excitedly: "Okay." Our cattle, sheep and horses in previous years were sold to Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, not to mention the low price, and more than half of them were returned. Yuan Xi is willing to build a market, trade fairly with us, and promise to collect as much as he wants, which is a great favor for us. I will repay the kindness of such a big kindness, I... ”

Yan Rou arched his hand and said, "Returning to Shan Yu, didn't you say... Do you want to form an army of volunteers? ”

"Forming a volunteer army is good for both of us. First, the volunteer army was supported by Yuan Xi and guarded the border, which saved us a lot of expenses. On the other hand, we have established a friendly military relationship with Yuan Xi, and if we encounter an attack by the Xiongnu, we can ask for assistance. also returned Yuan Xi's favor by the way, which is said to kill three birds with one stone. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you, hahaha..."

With Yan Rou's clever arguments, Bun Dun happily accepted all his suggestions.

Two days later.

Yuan Xi's army of 100,000 arrived at Yangle, the administrative office of Liaoxi County.

He personally greeted him and entertained him with a banquet.

Dinner.

Yuan Xi and Bang Dun drank three hundred bottles, and they were like buddies. There were also many rules that both sides had to follow, such as the price of grain, cattle, sheep, horses, and so on.

Overall, all the best!

Taking advantage of the joy of Bang Dun, Yuan Xi proposed to borrow Yan Rou to serve as the commander of Jixian County, specifically responsible for business dealings with Wuhuan and Xianbei. He thought that Yan Rou was his own person, and it was a good thing to be in charge of the trading of cattle, sheep and horses.

In the future, in Jixian County, it can be regarded as having its own people, and the transaction will be fairer.

Before Yan Rou could refuse, Badun agreed for him...

Early the next morning.

Before the sky was light, Yuan Xi delivered the 20,000 stone of grain he brought. Bunton also kept his promise, and after receiving the grain, he led his soldiers and horses to withdraw from Youzhou and go to Wuhuan Mountain.

After that, the people of the city rejoiced...

Yuan Xi struck while the iron was hot, posted a notice, and appointed Tian Chou as the Taishou of Liaoxi County. The people knew Tian Chou's name, not only loved the people, but also resisted Wuhuan several times, and praised Yuan Xi's wise decision-making.

The county guard is in the house.

Yuan Xi convened a meeting of the civil and military forces under his command.

"After a few days of negotiations, we occupied Liaoxi and Xuansu bloodlessly, and although we gave 20,000 stone of grain to Badun, I think it was worth it. We have established a friendly relationship with Wuhuan, and Wuhuan's cattle, sheep and horses will be sent to Youzhou in a steady stream. He also promised to form a volunteer army of 10,000 light cavalry, which would be stationed in Liaoxi County all the year round and at our disposal.... ”

Yuan Xi briefly summed up the results of the battle, and then said: "Now there is only Gongsun Du left." Gongsun Du's strength is far stronger than Wu Huan. He not only occupied Liaodong County and Lelang County, but also went east to Goguryeo and set up Central Liao County. Take the Liaodong Peninsula in the south, recruit talents, set up a museum to open a school, recruit displaced people, expand the military strength, and call himself the king of Liaodong. ”

"In the first year of the first peace, he crossed the sea to Qingzhou and collected Donglai County, which was later broken by us. According to the information I know, Gongsun Du's soldiers and horses have exceeded 160,000. Among them were the most elite 20,000 spearmen, who had defeated Sanhan in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula. He has defeated the Goguryeo Iron Cavalry many times, and he is our fierce opponent. ”

"Moreover, beating Gongsun is not the same as beating Wuhuan. Wuhuan is our barrier against the Xiongnu, not only to fight him, but also to negotiate peace, at most a negotiation that includes military action. Our 100,000 soldiers and horses are not of use at all. And attacking Gongsun Du is different, he will fight hard, fight to the death with us, we can win, but we will also pay a huge price. ”

"I came to you to discuss how to enter Liaodong. Within a month, the fighting must end. When he said this, Yuan Xi's eyes fell on Cui Yan, who had joined the army.

"Childe is very right."

Cui Yan is a member of the army, and it is incumbent on him to give advice. He stood up and said, "We are limited by food and grass, and we cannot fight a protracted war. Therefore, the only strategy to attack Gongsun Du is to fight without declaring a war and do whatever it takes, and go straight to his puppet king Du Xiangping. Capture and kill Gongsun Du and force his army to surrender! ”
