In the prison cell, Bulagen sat on the ground in a daze, the door opened, Bulagen looked at the person with blank eyes, and when he saw the envoy of Wuheng behind Li Zhen, he hurriedly stood up, and said with a light in his eyes: "The king sent you." ”

The envoy replied respectfully: "When the king heard that Liaoxi had suffered a defeat, he was very angry, and when he saw that none of his clansmen had returned, let me make peace and take you back." "I'm ashamed of the king. If it weren't for me, ・・・・・・, alas! "Bu Lagen can't go on, this time I really lost the face of the king, what face do I have to meet the king when I go back.

The envoy of Wuheng understood Bulagen's thoughts, stepped forward, and whispered: "Isn't it that you have been defeated once, and next time you are taking revenge for blood hatred, the king is magnanimous to your brother, and he is not guilty of the past, you are the warriors of Wuheng, the wolves of the grassland, cheer up." "The King." With tears in his eyes, he said excitedly: "The king's tolerance for me, I dare not forget it, I must ・・・・・ next time." “

The envoy of Wuheng grabbed Bu Lagen, who was about to continue talking, Bu Lagen understood that he was still in the territory of the Han people, and he couldn't say anything clearly, he glanced at Li Zhen, and saw that his face was normal and calm, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The envoy of Wuheng took Bulagan's hand and said, "You can see your brother, or other Wuheng people. "I've been locked up here for a few days, and I haven't seen anyone else." Bulagan Road. "Take care of your spirits, and in a short time, we will go back together." The envoy of Wuheng patted Bu Lagan's shoulder and gestured, turned to Li Zhen and saluted, "Thank you, my lordship, for letting me see my clansmen." “

Li Zhen laughed and said: "Everyone has their needs, no need to be polite." "Thank you when you see a person, if you see all the Wuheng people, smashing stones and building roads all over the mountains, I don't know if you will be grateful?" Now that we've seen everyone, shouldn't we go back and talk? "Your Excellency, please." The envoy of Wuheng said politely this time, seeing Bulagan, proving that there are still people alive, and it is time to talk about the task.

Entering the hall, Li Zhen said unceremoniously: "How much money do you want to exchange for a prisoner this time." "Our king wants to use 3,000 horses, 5,000 cattle and sheep, and 2,000 gold as conditions for peace." The messenger hurriedly said. "Hmph, I want to change people under this condition, I have more than 4,000 people in my hands, and two Wuheng generals, with a little material, not enough for their daily food expenses." Li Zhen shook his head and said.

Wow, this is not enough for their food expenses, what do you make our Wuheng people eat every day? Whether it's dragon liver and phoenix marrow, or delicacies from the mountains and seas, I'm afraid it's good to have a steamed bun. The envoy of Wuheng despised Li Zhen in his heart. "My lord, these are already my Wuheng's greatest sincerity, and this is a high price in the grassland." The envoy of Wuheng said.

Li Zhen sneered: "Now that you are in the big man, here I have the final say." ”

The envoy of Wuheng gritted his teeth and said, "What are the conditions for my lord?" ”

"Hehe, let me calculate, your people will eat me, live in me, drink me in the past few days, pay me rent and food, the care fee of my army, plus the ransom, not much, just 8,000 horses, 20,000 cattle and sheep, 5,000 gold!" Li Zhen directly opened his mouth with a lion.

Wuheng's envoy listened to Li Zhen's set of things, what kind of rent, food, and care fees, who are these people, I don't know, I think it's a businessman here, and he is careful about his calculations. Da Anxious said: "What, this is not much, you are clearly robbing." ”

Li Zhen said innocently: "This is not much, these are what my army deserves." "Hmph, this will definitely not work, my king will not answer." The envoy of Wuheng said angrily, so many materials, if I dare to agree, go back to the king and cut me into a stick. "Hmph, at this price, if you don't want to, please go back! Thousands of people will starve to death and be carried to feed the wolves. Li Zhen said nonchalantly. The Han is a **** kingdom and pays attention to benevolence and etiquette, but the adult's approach violates the way of the saint, and the unarmed captives starve to death, this practice is too cruel! The envoy of Wuheng used the benevolence and righteousness of the Han people to persuade Li Zhen.

Li Zhen snorted coldly when he heard this: "Benevolence and righteousness, it also depends on whom, for you jackals, tigers and leopards, robbing other people's countries' property, why do I have to talk about benevolence and righteousness, if I don't kill them all, I feel that I am merciful enough." ”

The envoy of Wuheng saw that Li Zhen was not like other Han people, and he could be persuaded by his reputation for etiquette, in case these people all died in Liaoxi, then he would have no shame to face Wuheng's father, and calculated the bottom line given to him by the king in his heart, and finally said: "My lord, the conditions you said just now, even if I am killed, I can't take it out, we can give up to 5,000 horses, 8,000 cattle and sheep, and 3,000 gold." ”

"Yes, just do as you say." Li Zhen agreed without hesitation, Li Zhen was satisfied with the price of the first time, but now there is a lion who has opened his mouth and got more, which is beyond Li Zhen's expectations.

When the envoy of Wuheng heard that Li Zhen finally agreed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and in the face of people who did not take the etiquette face to heart, he really felt that this negotiation was useless. "My lord, since the talks have been negotiated, then we can release our people now and let me take them back." "Don't worry, I see that you Wuheng people are also very fond of Dahan, I will stay for a few more days, when you bring the ransom, I will release you at any time." Li Zhen is not stupid, now that he has released him, he will not pay back the debts when he goes back, so he will not be busy, and it is safe to pay the money with one hand and change the person with the other.

The envoy of Wuheng knew that he was not worried about himself, and he would not put it in until the ransom arrived, and said: "The villain will not send the ransom as soon as possible, I will leave first, I hope that the adults can treat me well Wuheng people, I thank you here." "Haha." After the Wuheng envoy left, Dian Wei laughed, "Lord, if this Wuheng man knows that his people are doing coolies for us now, I don't know what it will be like, and whether he will thank the lord." "Hahahaha." When Dian Wei said this, Zhou Cang and Li Zhen couldn't help but laugh. "This time we got benefits from the Wuheng people, but it's really a lot! I have a lot of cavalry to build. Li Zhen said in high spirits, this time there are 5,000 horses alone, and the strength is increasing, and in this era, the war depends on the cavalry, and whoever has more cavalry is the king of war.

When Wuheng's matter is over, it's time to write a good news to the imperial court, ask for an official position for the brothers, and can't let these people who are with you disappointed! also let himself dangle in the eyes of the emperor more, and if there are good things in the future, he will not forget himself. Li Zhen thought about it in the study, but if you don't give this trophy, let's give it some meaning! Liu Hong likes money so much, and Zhang Rang's share can't be less, Li Zhen calculated, his heart hurts! I was fortunate enough to get it, and I gave half of the gift, thinking that the official positions of the brothers were important, and the rest could be obtained in the future. After sealing the letter, he found the guard and said, "You personally hand over this letter to Zhang Rang." "No."
