King Wuhuan came, King Xianbei came, King Buyeo came, and King Goguryeo also came. They couldn't help but come, they suffered heavy losses in this battle, and now they are still surrounded by the Han army, and every day they attack the Han army elusively, and several kings even have to sleep with one eye open. Although they had already conveyed the news of surrender to the Han army more than ten days ago, the Han army's offensive never stopped, and the losses for such a long time had reached their limit, and if they continued to do so, they could only be completely annihilated.

Several people tried to escape, but what if they fled their people? In order to attack the Han Dynasty this time, in addition to the King of Goguryeo, who wanted to fish in troubled waters, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Buyeo pulled out all the people and horses that could be brought out of the clan, and once the whole army was wiped out, there were only two ways for the remaining clansmen, one was to freeze to death and starve to death or be killed, and the other was either annexed by the Huns or annexed by Goguryeo, and they did not want to see either of these two.

The procession to greet the Four Kings was very majestic, which made the Four Kings fully understand the strength of the Han army, and they were also glad for the decision they made this time. Li Xi is the commander of the army, he is tall and rides a majestic horse in the Western Regions, with a helmet and armor and a long ge, like a god in the middle of the road, and the four kings who see it sigh. When he was far away, he hurriedly dismounted and saluted.

Li Xi laughed: "Wrong, the general is only the commander of the Royal Forest Army, although he is a general, there is still a gap between him and the real general." ”

"No, no, no, the general is majestic, I admire, the general can know the military power of the Han Dynasty, this time we are sincere to vote, and I hope that the general will speak well in front of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, I will not be unforgettable." With a wave of his hand, someone behind the four kings hurriedly stepped forward with a gift box.

Li Xi didn't refuse, and accepted with a smile: "Yes, I know how to be polite, since that's the case, let's go?" Your Majesty is still waiting in the Golden Tent, and it's not good to go late. ”

For this meeting, Liu Che put on a full guard of honor, so the four kings did not take a few steps under the leadership of Li Xi, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor's big goose. There is an axe behind the big goose, and there is a dragon chair behind the axe, and there is a king flag behind the dragon chair, and the golden tent has not yet been seen behind the king flag. Stop-and-go, the four kings were like kowtow worms, and they walked for more than half an hour in more than a mile.

The door of the Golden Horde was open, and Liu Che was wearing a crown and sitting inside, looking like a Bodhisattva in the temple from a distance, and the mystery and majesty under the golden splendor made the four kings dare not look directly. Li Xi motioned for a few people to stop, turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to the outside of the golden tent to report loudly. After that, Liu Jiqing's rooster-like voice came out of it, and the four kings walked into the golden tent with their heads down tremblingly.

King Wuhuan is still the leader of the alliance, so he is naturally the first. But the moment he entered the Golden Horde, he was overtaken by others, and the king of Goguryeo ran the fastest, and before others could react, he was already prostrate on the dirty ground: "The chieftain of the small state knocks to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom!" ”

The king of Goguryeo set an example, and several other people did not dare to make a mistake, and they knelt down to show their most humble side since their birth in front of Liu Che. Liu Che was in a good mood, looking at the few people kneeling in front of him, the contempt on his face was unmistakable: "Get up!" Sit! ”

There were no fine cutlery, no hearty food, not even a small. The four futon-like things were the cushions of the Four Kings, which were as thin as a piece of cloth, and there was no difference between sitting on them and sitting on the ground, and you could even feel the dew of the grass under your buttocks. The king of Goguryeo, as the leading elder brother who took the lead in bowing to Liu Che, sat in the closest place to Liu Che.

Liu Che said a few words of relief, which made the four kings feel that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was not as terrifying as the legend, so he gave birth to a kind of luck that might be able to get through the trick. Wu Huan suffered the heaviest losses in this battle, so he was the first to ask: "Your Majesty, now that we have returned to the Great Han, I don't know when we can return to our tribe, seeing that winter is coming, there are still many things to deal with in the clan, and I hope Your Majesty will be gracious." ”

As soon as King Wuhuan's words were finished, King Xianbei, King Buyeo, and King Goguryeo all looked at Liu Che with blank eyes, waiting for Liu Che to make a statement. Liu Che smiled faintly: "Yes!" Winter does have a lot to deal with, so be it! I will order the hussar generals to stop the attack, and let you go back in a few days! ”

The four kings were overjoyed, and under the leadership of the king of Goguryeo, they knelt down again and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"But, hey! You also know that although my Han has a lot of land and resources, it is not an inexhaustible place for grain and ordnance, and the hussar general once suggested to me that this battle was provoked by you, so all the losses of the war should be borne by you, including your losses and the losses of my Han, I think it is reasonable, what do you think? ”

The four kings glanced at each other, and they all gasped. They have never heard of such a saying, this battle was provoked by them, but the big man is the winner! The winner also wants the loser to compensate for the loss, which is the reason? And there has never been such a precedent.

King Wuhuan sighed: "Then dare to ask Your Majesty, has the hussar general said how much compensation we need?" ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Che laughed and motioned for Liu Jiqing to give things to a few people.

When the four of them got the amount of compensation they each needed, their mouths opened wider and wider. Four people and four compensation standards, and they are written in great detail, the time, place, strength of the enemy and our own forces in each battle, the lost arrows, armor, horses, soldiers, and even the lost grain and straw are clearly listed, and even the shoe that the soldier ran away is written on it.

Liu Che was very pleased with the expressions of several people, and then said: "This is the hussar general listing our losses, if there is any objection, we can talk slowly, I will send a doctor who understands arithmetic to check, hehe, of course, if you want to talk about arithmetic, there are very few hussar generals in the world, and the final result should be about the same, what do you think?" ”

"This ......" King Wuhuan was the first to stand up: "Your Majesty, the minister has no objection to the compensation, but this amount is too large, even if the entire tribe is compensated, I am afraid it will not be enough?" ”

"The hussar general also considered this matter, he said that it doesn't matter if you can't take it once, you can give it in installments, of course, you need to charge some interest in the middle, I asked the people of Dahan Qianzhuang, they all said it was feasible, and I also felt that it was feasible."

"Your Majesty, I have meaning!" The king of Goguryeo stood up: "Your Majesty, this time I only brought 3,000 soldiers, all of whom died in the Yanshan forest, and did not really fight with the army, I looked at the amount of compensation for the rest of the kings, it seems that mine is the most, is there a mistake in this?" ”

Liu Che said with a smile: "The hussar general said that it is precisely because the king of Goguryeo sent the least number of soldiers and horses, so the loss is also the least, since you are known as a coalition army, it is natural to support each other and rely on each other, their losses are greater than Goguryeo, and it is estimated that the tribe will survive, so you should take out the money to make up for the deficit of the three of them, which shows the brotherhood and the meaning of the alliance." ”

"No!" The king of Goguryeo argued: "I don't have the heart to win with the Han Dynasty, so I sent the least troops, and I was bewitched by them, neither the leader of the alliance, nor the great evil, but let me take out so much compensation, I am not convinced." ”

"Humph!" Liu Che's face changed, and he glanced at the four of them: "You all think like this?" ”

The three kings of Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Buyeo looked at each other and quickly shook their heads. Liu Che said coldly: "Very good, give you ten days to wait, be sure to make up thirty percent of the compensation, hand over Yanmen Pass, and then the army can go back, as for what the king of Goguryeo said, I have to think about it carefully, he can take his time." ”

The three kings hurriedly saluted the camp and no longer had any objections. Liu Che continued: "Also, what was sent along with the compensation should also include my big Han people who were robbed back by you and others, not one less!" Do you understand? ”

"Understood, understood!"

An interview, or a squeeze, ended like this. After the four kings came out of the golden tent, they were obviously divided into two groups. The king of Goguryeo, who walked at the end, hung his head, and the three kings who walked in front smiled bitterly with a hint of schadenfreude. With the king of Goguryeo as a target, the three kings felt that they were not the most unlucky, although the compensation was more, it was not that they couldn't get it, as long as they could return to the tribe smoothly, it would not be too late to see next year, and the most important point was to hit Goguryeo hard, which made the three kings worry a lot.

Liu Che took off the crown, the Han on his head was thick, and the clothes on his body were also wet, Liu Jiqing hurriedly ordered someone to change Liu Che's clothes. Liu Che looked at Su Ren who was lying on the bed and said with a smile: "How?" I'm okay, right? ”

Su Ren gave a thumbs up: "It's not bad, if I should adjust it again, Your Majesty has now divided the four of them into two groups, if I will divide them into four groups, let them become enemies completely because of this matter, even if they have the intention of watching my big man again in the future, they don't have the courage and strength to come again." ”

Liu Che said with a smile while changing clothes: "You have already sent someone to Goguryeo, don't think that I don't know, trap the king of Goguryeo here for three months, and if you don't get it, Goguryeo will be gone." ”

"No, Zang Peng knows the measure!"

Liu Che shook his head helplessly: "Does your butt still hurt?" ”

Su Ren was stunned: "Thirty military sticks, can it hurt?" Fortunately, my general did a good job, and those cubs didn't kill me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't see Your Majesty again! ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Che laughed: "I'll tell you good news, I received a military report a few days ago that Wei Qing has captured Yinshan and is building a city; Li Guang is also not bad, he has completely cut off the contact between the Western Xiongnu and Yi Zhixian, and now Yi Zhixian has become a lonely family, and has suffered heavy losses, the plan we drew up before the war has been achieved, and when Wei Qing and Li Guang completely gain a foothold, I will be ready to withdraw the troops. ”

"This is a good thing, congratulations to Your Majesty!" Su Ren lay on the bed and bowed.

Liu Che was very happy, laughed a few times, turned his head and looked at Su Ren for a long time: "How do you say I should reward the warriors of this battle?" ”

"It's nothing more than gold, silver, and land, although I have a lot of Han people and little land, that is also talking about Guanzhong and the Central Plains, as for Lingnan, Shuofang, the Western Regions, Yelang, and a large number of places, Your Majesty can let go of your hands and feet to reward."

Liu Che nodded: "What about you?" ”

"We?" Su Ren hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Wei Qing can be a general, and General Li's dream is to be a marquis, as for me?" I hope to stay in Chang'an forever, sleep until I wake up naturally every day, eat when I wake up, continue to sleep after eating, that's all! ”
