"Your Majesty's meaning, the minister doesn't quite understand." Tuoba Li Hu scratched his head and pretended to be confused.

Of course, he knew that Su Zhe was asking him to honor his gift of surrender in advance, and asked him to send 300,000 sheep first.

The 300,000 sheep are just bait opened by Tuoba Liwei, just to deceive Su Zhe into withdrawing from the army, as for whether to give it or not, and how much to give, it is naturally slowly dragged.

Su Zhe glanced at Deng Ai.

Deng Ai said: "Li Hu, didn't you say that your Khan plans to sacrifice 300,000 cattle and sheep to compensate for the loss of my Great Wei Army, why, you forgot so quickly?" ”

"No, no, no, of course not." Tuoba Li shook his head slightly, but he looked embarrassed, "These 300,000 sheep, of course we want to offer, but now my Xianbei tribes have suffered heavy losses and heavy losses, and I can't get together so many sheep for a while, so I just ask Your Majesty to slow down and give us some time." ”

Seeing this, Deng Ai bowed his hand to Su Zhe: "Your Majesty is benevolent, since the Xianbei people are in difficulty, the minister thinks that it is better to give them some compensation, and let them bring 200,000 cattle and sheep first." ”

Su Zhe pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Okay, for the sake of Shizai's intercession for you, I will reduce 100,000 for you." ”

Tuoba Li Hu is still embarrassed, all kinds of excuses, just want to drag it out and don't want to give it now.

Syllable!

Su Zhe couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the case angrily, and scolded: "Tuoba Li Hu, you keep saying that you are sincere in surrendering, and even 200,000 sheep are stingy and don't want to sacrifice, in this case, you don't have to sacrifice any of them, when I destroy your Xianbei, your millions of cattle and sheep are all mine!" ”

Su Zhe was furious, furious, seeing this posture, he was about to overturn the previous decision and continue to fight with the Xianbei people.

Tuoba Li Hu was startled, knelt down, and squeaked: "Your Majesty is angry, we don't mean that, Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry......"

At this time, Deng Ai said again: "These 200,000 soldiers, who followed His Majesty to the grassland, all wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but now they have returned without success, they must be dissatisfied, my son of heaven must use a generous reward to appease them, these rewards, you don't come out, is it possible to let my son of heaven pay first?" ”

"That's it, what 200,000 cattle and sheep, we are not rare, and after the ministers destroy the Huns, they will rob all their cattle and sheep and give them to Your Majesty!" Yan Liang shouted angrily.

In the big tent, all the generals immediately became furious, and they all jumped up, shouting that they had to destroy the Xianbei people.

When Tuoba Li Hu saw this battle, he had no idea at all, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry, my Khan is indeed sincere to surrender, these 200,000 sheep, we must gather them and dedicate them to Your Majesty as soon as possible." ”

Under the "performance" of Su Zhe and the generals, Tuoba Li Hu finally didn't dare to bargain anymore and agreed to it.

Su Zhe's expression turned cloudy to sunny at this time, and he smiled with a smile: "Okay, good, you have such sincerity, I can believe you, you go back quickly, and ask Tuoba Liwei to offer the table and 200,000 cattle and sheep, I rewarded the soldiers of the three armies, gave them an explanation, and then took them back to the court." ”

Tuoba Li Hu breathed a sigh of relief, bowed down to Su Zhe again, and was grateful, so he hurriedly retreated with Su Zhe's holy decree.

He didn't dare to stay in the Wei camp, so he took Su Zhe's holy decree and galloped ten miles on horseback, heading straight for Eagle City.

Night.

Eagle City, Khan's Tent.

Tuoba Li paced in the tent with his hands in his hand, and the word anxiety was all written on his face.

The Xianbei nobles in the tent were all anxious and worried.

Only Sima Yi has it, the color is gloomy, and it doesn't seem to be anxious, or if he has something else on his mind.

They were waiting for news from Tuoba Lihu.

Since Su Zhe launched a crazy loot of the Xianbei people's pastures, the Xianbei people in Monan have fallen into many difficulties, and the military is in turmoil and the people are in turmoil.

The leaders of the various tribes, who had suffered the most losses, finally gathered together and made a message to Tuoba Liwei, persuading him to submit to the Wei army in exchange for the retreat of the Wei army.

Of course, Tuoba Liwei was reluctant in his heart.

It's just that the Tuoba people exist in an alliance situation, and the Xianbei people of each tribe first obey the orders of the leaders of each tribe, and Tuoba Liwei achieves control over all the Xianbei people through the leaders of each tribe.

Therefore, he is not at all like Su Zhe, who can make everyone obey orders with one sentence and dare not have objections.

Helplessly, Tuoba Liwei could only pull down his face and sent his brother Tuoba Li Hu to the Wei army to ask for surrender.

When he was anxious, the soldiers outside came to report, saying that it was Tuoba Li Hu's return from an envoy.

Tuobali's eyes lit up slightly, and he waved his hand and shouted, "Quick, pass him in quickly." ”

The Xianbei nobles were also excited, and they looked in the direction of the tent door.

Not long after, Tuoba Li Hu stepped into the big tent, and the expression on his face was a mixture of joy and sorrow.

"Li Hu, can the Su thief allow us to be a vassal?" Tuobali asked impatiently.

Tuoba Li Hu coughed a few times, and arched his hand: "Back to the Khan, then Su Zhe approved our vassals and agreed to withdraw the army." ”

As soon as these words came out, the big tent was suddenly boiling.

The Xianbei nobles were all overjoyed and cheered excitedly, thinking that they had successfully escaped the catastrophe and finally did not have to be destroyed under the iron cavalry of the Wei army.

Tuoba Liwei also breathed a sigh of relief, and sneered: "Ben Khan knows that those emperors in the Central Plains like the vanity of all nations and the heavenly kingdom the most, and Su Zhe is no exception, hum!" ”

Sima Yi looked suspicious, as if he couldn't believe that Su Zhe had agreed so happily.

He looked at Tuoba Li Hu and saw that he seemed to have something on his mind, so he said: "It is impossible for the Su thief to agree so happily, presumably he must still have conditions." ”

In the big tent, the crowd fell silent.

Tuoba Li Hu coughed a few times, and arched his hand: "Qiyu Khan, then Su Zhe said that the Khan must send 200,000 sheep over as soon as possible, as a reward for his soldiers, and the sincerity of our surrender, otherwise, he will not accept our invitation to surrender." ”

"What!" Tuobali's face changed slightly, and he took the case.

The Xianbei nobles who were originally happy in the tent suddenly turned from joy to anger, and couldn't help but scold again.

Tuoba Liwei begged Su Zhe to surrender and promised hundreds of thousands of sheep to compensate, but it was just a big pie, in order to deceive Su Zhe into retreating, so that he could alleviate the current predicament and get a chance to breathe.

As for the hundreds of thousands of sheep that were compensated, of course, they could be dragged as long as they could, and when he regained his strength and could re-argue with Su Zhe, he naturally didn't have to offer any more.

He never expected that Su Zhe was very shrewd, and he had to ask him to sacrifice cattle and sheep before he was willing to withdraw from the army.

Danhan Mountain has lost more than 200,000 sheep, and in recent months, more than 100,000 sheep have been robbed by the Wei army, which if another 200,000 cattle and sheep are sacrificed, it is equivalent to the loss of nearly 500,000 sheep in just two months.

Su Zhe is trying to force him to let blood and cut his flesh.
