After everyone sat down, Liu Yuanzhi glanced at Kabu, the eyes of the two met slightly, Liu Yuanzhi smiled unconsciously, and Kabu hurriedly looked away and did not look at him.

"Leader of Mudu, can you give an explanation for the matter of surrender today?" Liu Yuanzhi was the first to ask.

Mu Du set his eyes on Kabu, who nodded slightly, then cleared his throat and said: "Lord Liu, the matter of returning to obedience is not something that can be explained in a simple sentence or two, in my opinion, when we discuss this matter in detail, we should not be hasty. ”

Liu Yuanzhi nodded and asked, "Since this is the case, I wonder if there are thousands of households that can list the details?" ”

Kabu shook his head and said, "Lord Liu, don't worry, let's"

"Listen to Wanhu's meaning, there is basically no problem with the matter of returning to obedience, and the rest is some details of things." Liu Yuanzhi said, took out a document from his sleeve, and then pointed to the document and said: "The head of Mudu has every opportunity, and we are also in a hurry to go back to report to Your Majesty, so in order to save time, Liu Mou has already listed all the details that can be thought of, and asked the head of Mudu to take a look." ”

Kabu originally wanted to spend it, but he didn't expect Liu Yuanzhi to be prepared, so they could only take it head-on.

Mu Du took the paperwork handed by the attendant, and glanced at Liu Yuanzhi from time to time while reading. It didn't take long for Mu Du to say nothing, so he handed the paperwork to Kabu.

"Leader of Mudu, Kabu Wanhu, you see, there is nothing wrong with the detailed rules of this content, right?" Liu Yuanzhi asked.

Kabu looked at Mudu, then put down the paperwork, and said to Liu Yuanzhi: "Lord Liu is really thoughtful, and the detailed details of the content written on this document are indeed very detailed. ”

"Then in that case, how about drafting a formal document of submission according to the content of my document?"

"No hurry!" Kabu waved his hand and said, "Our leader still has some doubts, and they still need two answers. ”

Shi Min frowned slightly, glanced at Liu Yuanzhi, the two exchanged eyes slightly, and Liu Yuanzhi said: "Leader of Mudu, if you have any doubts, just say it." ”

Mu Du came to the side of Mrs. Rouge and made a gesture, Mrs. Rouge nodded, and said to Liu Yuanzhi and Shi Min: "Our Qiang people are adjacent to the Xiongnu, and if we are subordinate to your Zhao State, we are against the Xiongnu. ”

Liu Yuanzhi thought for a while and replied: "Chief, madam, if there is a big chaos today, the Qiang people have no strong national strength, and there are no brave and warlike soldiers and horses, they can't win the world, and they may not be able to protect themselves if they retreat, unless they are obedient and dependent, what other way out is there?" Liu Yuanzhi asked everyone in the Qiang tribe rhetorically, and Mu Du and the others were speechless.

So Liu Yuanzhi said: "Although the Xiongnu cannot be ignored, they are sparsely populated and poor in materials. And I, Zhao State, sit on the Central Plains, and the products are abundant."

"Lord Liu!" Mrs. Rouge interrupted Liu Yuanzhi's words and sneered: "There is no need to say such boasting, although Zhao State sits on the Central Plains, but as far as we know, Zhao State has been in war for many years, and the people are not living, compared to our Qiang people, it is not much better!" ”

"That's right, Mrs. Rouge knows very well!" Shi Min suddenly said: "But don't forget, madam, don't talk about Zhao Guo for the time being, the Central Plains is fertile for thousands of miles, and there are large tracts of fertile land. Now my Zhao country has been trained in the field, the grain and grass are strong, the soldiers are strong and strong, over time, it will be like a peng to spread its wings, swallowing mountains and rivers! ”

Liu Yuanzhi listened to Shi Min's words, nodded slightly, and then said: "The Huns have lived outside the fortress for a long time, although they can ride and shoot well, and they are wild and untamable, why don't they dare to confront my Zhao State head-on?" Just because Zhao Guo's family background is thick! What the Mudu chief and his wife were worried about was, in my opinion, unfounded. ”

"Worrying about the sky? Not necessarily! Kabu said.

"The Huns are bent on rebuilding Liu Yuan's great cause, and they will definitely not provoke wars everywhere! Although the Qiang people are not as strong as the Xiongnu, he Xiongnu alone will not use his limited forces on your Qiang people at such a critical moment! ”

"Everything is in case, if the Huns are crazy, Lord Liu, I'm afraid it won't work if you move your mouth, right?" Mrs. Rouge asked nonchalantly.

"Zhao has already stationed troops in Wuyuan, how dare the Huns go south easily? Even if the army really rises to attack, I, Zhao Guo, will not sit idly by. Liu Yuanzhi said.

"Lord Liu, this may be counted?"

Liu Yuanzhi smiled slightly and said, "Zhao Guoren is a promise!" Not a rebel! ”

Liu Yuanzhi naturally said this sentence to the Qiang people, and Mu Du and the others were a little embarrassed when they heard this.

"The year's coin tribute, in my opinion, will be exempted!" Kabu said unhurriedly: "Master Liu also said that now Zhao State is sitting in the Central Plains, and the land is vast and rich. And we Qiang people, except for cattle and sheep, there is nothing else. Since Zhao Guo wants to be the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, he must pay tribute to a little bit of New Year's coins, and he won't pay attention to it at all, right? Rather than you go back and forth with me, it's better to avoid it. ”

"Ten thousand households say this difference! The tribute of the year's coin is not about how much, but about a gift! As the saying goes, if you give a good gift, the people don't dare to be disrespectful! If we don't keep the etiquette, then how can the people follow the way of the king, the courtesy of the father and the son? Liu Yuanzhi argued.

I have to say that Liu Yuanzhi is indeed full of poetry and books, can speak well, and the Qiang people have nothing to refute.

"Chief Mudu, do you have any other questions?" Shi Min suddenly asked.

Mudu looked at Mrs. Rouge and Kabu, wanting to hear their opinions, but it seemed that the brother and sister were also helpless.

Seeing that the Qiang people did not express their position, Liu Yuanzhi said unhurriedly: "Since there is no problem with these matters, then there is another condition on our side." ”

Hearing this, Kabu's heart already understood what the conditions Liu Yuanzhi was talking about.

"What conditions? Mr. Liu said let's hear it! Mrs. Rouge asked.

"Since it's submission, then we have to take some substantive measures."

"You have already written a very detailed document just now, what other requirements do you have?" Mrs. Rouge feigned dissatisfaction.

"As far as I know, the eldest prince of the head of Mudu is already fifteen or sixteen years old, and at such an age, he should read some poetry books instead of riding horses and shooting arrows all day. Liu Mou was brave and wanted to invite the eldest prince to go to Zhao State together, learn lile, read poetry and books, and inherit the position of leader in the future, so as to benefit the people of the Qiang nationality. ”

As soon as Liu Yuanzhi's words fell, a thousand households under the Mudu seat objected and said: "Chief, this matter is not allowed!" ”

"This lord, the Qiang people are good friends with the Zhao State, I sincerely invite you, why not?" Liu Yuanzhi frowned and asked.

"Hmph, Lord Liu, what you said is good, on the surface, you are inviting our eldest prince to go to Zhao State to study etiquette and music, read poetry and books, but in fact, you want to use the eldest prince as a proton to restrain us Qiang people!"

"The Qiang people and the Zhao State have sincere fellowship, how can they restrain it? Could it be that your so-called submission was originally intended to be lowered and the judgment could not be rejuvenated? ”

"You ......," the man was speechless.

Liu Yuanzhi sneered, and then asked Mu Du: "What does the leader think?" ”

Although Mu Du has a grudge against Kuritai, but Kuritai is a Qiang after all, at least nominally his son, and in the face of Liu Yuanzhi's request, it is naturally impossible for Mudu to agree.

"########" Mu Du gestured and waved his hand.

"The Mudu leader disagrees?" Liu Yuanzhi asked with a smile.

Mu Du had a straight face, obviously disagreeing.

"What do Mrs. Rouge and Lord Wanhu think?" Liu Yuanzhi asked again.

Kabu and Mrs. Rouge looked at each other for a moment and said, "Lord Liu, I'm afraid your request is too much, right?" ”

"In the next life, we invite the eldest prince to go to Zhao State, just to do the friendship of the landlord, I didn't expect you to have to spend the belly of the gentleman with the heart of a villain! It's really disappointing. ”

"Lord Liu, this matter is not trivial, let our leader think about it!" Kabu said.

"Chief! You don't have to think about it! Zhao Guoren has bad intentions, we can't agree! Curitai is my sister's only son, how can I give it into their hands! ”

"It turned out to be Mrs. Plum Blossom's brother, rude and rude!" Liu Yuanzhi smiled and nodded slightly, then stood up and said to Mudu and the others: "Please ask the leader of Mudu to think about this matter again, and we will come back another day!" ”

After Liu Yuanzhi finished speaking, Shi Min also got up, and the two went out of the big tent together.
