Gao Shun was very happy to be able to capture so many materials, but these more than 700 war horses were a lot of wealth, which was just used to expand the cavalry force. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Back at Taoyuan Fort, he was warmly welcomed by the villagers who had taken refuge here.

Gao Shunyi was happy and announced that 2 stones of grain would be distributed to each household, intending to make up for their losses in the past few days; Many villagers who were excited immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Gao Shun to thank him, which was more responsible than the county government, not only to manage their food and drink in the past few days, but also to distribute food before leaving, and more importantly, to win the battle and eliminate the threat.

With the departure of the villagers, the news of the victory quickly spread throughout Loufu County, and the villagers who had taken refuge in the county town also returned to their hometowns one after another.

Those who took refuge in Taoyuanbao not only ate well for free, but also distributed 2 stones of food to each family before leaving, so that those who took refuge in the county town regretted it.

The three elders and the others didn't expect the village protection team to be so powerful and defeat a Hun thousand-person team. However, he couldn't help but believe that the hundreds of Huns who were captured had all been seen by those who had taken refuge in Taoyuan Fort, and there were only hundreds of captured war horses, which could not be faked; And not only one person said this, but all the people who took refuge in Taoyuan Fort said so, and the three elders could only think that the village protection team had taken shit luck.

You Dubian has lived in Taoyuanbao for the past few days, and cooperated with the old village chief to manage many villagers, which has reduced the work of the old village chief and reduced a lot of trouble for Ma Gui. He was full of curiosity about Taoyuan Fort, and in his spare time, accompanied by the old village chief, he visited Taoyuan Fort and Bibo Fort, and he admired Gao Shun very much for being able to build such a large project.

A thousand-strong team of Huns attacked, he estimated that with the strength of the village protection team, it would be good to be able to protect himself, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, he would completely annihilate the enemy, so that his admiration for Gao Shun and others reached a higher level.

You must know that it is difficult to defeat the enemy, and it is even more difficult to capture so many Huns at one time, and those hundreds of undamaged war horses are a rare wealth.

Du Bian felt that Gao Shun and the others were really mysterious, and they had risen rapidly in such a short period of time, and there must be a secret that no one knew; After consulting the old village chief, he decided to stay in Taoyuan Fort for a few days and take a closer look.

In the afternoon of the same day, Gao Shun announced the celebration of victory and entertained all the soldiers and meritorious people in the city lord's mansion.

The old village chief asked Ma Gui for instructions, and after receiving a positive reply, he invited Du Bian to participate together, and Du Bian readily agreed, which made him feel very honored.

The banquet was still held in the castle lord's mansion, and the participants were military officers of the rank of Dubo and above, and the old village chief. Regarding Du Bian's arrival, Gao Shun had already received a report from Ma Gui, and there was not much rejection, and he also asked the old village chief to accompany him and sit at the main table.

Du Bian felt very new to this novel way of dining, which was much stronger than the kneeling mode.

And the dishes at the banquet were a few cooking methods that he had never seen; It tasted really good, and he was sure that he had never eaten such a delicious thing in his life.

When the wine was half-drunk, the old village chief suddenly asked: "Ah Shun, the contradiction with the Huns has gradually escalated, at first it was a hundred people attacking, and then a thousand people, if another 10,000 people come, what way do you respond?" ”

The words of the old village chief made Gao Shun stunned, he really didn't think about it so much, but in his impression, the war between the Han people and the alien race, from before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, lasted for thousands of years, and never stopped, among which there were even a few alien races to establish a court in the Central Plains, and the Han people became slaves of the alien race, and even two-legged sheep, so he said: "Uncle, the war with the alien race can never be eliminated, only the soldiers will block, the water will cover it, in addition, there is no other way, although the jade is burned, it is not hesitant!" ”

Gao Shun's words made the blood of those present boil, this is the life that their soldiers should have; Even Du Bian was moved.

The old village chief shook his head and said, "It's not your business alone, there are many people standing behind you, there are soldiers and their families, and you have to think about it comprehensively before making a decision; According to the current development trend, it will not be long before we have the strength to fight against the Huns, so why not endure the anger of the moment and avoid long-term worries? ”

Gao Shun retorted: "The war with the alien race cannot be compromised. ”

The old village chief said: "Ah Shun, now everyone has just lived a stable life for a few days, if the jade and stones of the Huns are burned, then everyone will return to the previous state; My opinion is, why not use the alien race to strengthen us? and then look for an opportunity to fight with it, besides, the Huns are still the people of the Han Dynasty on the surface, and the court still needs the Huns to fight against Xianbei; At present, we should not consume too much of our own strength, but develop and grow rapidly. ”

"Uncle, these two wars were imposed on us by the Huns, we were forced to fight, we had to fight, we had to beat the Huns, otherwise it would be endless harassment, and we would never have peace."

The old village chief said: "I know what you said, so I want to reconcile with the Huns and buy time for development." ”

Gao Shun was surprised by the old village chief's words, so he said, "Uncle, please tell me your thoughts in detail. ”

The old village chief said his thoughts, and Gao Shun asked, "What are your opinions?" ”

Li Qiang said: "Hahaha, what are the Huns afraid of? Even if there is a team of 10,000 people, they will definitely have no return. ”

Ma Gui said: "I am not against peace talks, but we must meet our requirements, otherwise they will think they are afraid of them." ”

"What do you want to achieve?" Gao Shun asked.

Ma Gui thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing more than land and wealth such as horses, cattle and sheep; First of all, I demand that the land east of the three forks is ours, and that the Huns are not allowed to exist within 50 miles to the west; Secondly, the captives must be allowed to redeem their horses, at least two of the best horses each, or they will remain here as slaves; In the end, they are the defeated side, and they must come up with another 1,000 cattle and 20,000 sheep for reconciliation, otherwise we will raid their towns from time to time and make them uneasy. ”

Gao Shun smiled: "Your appetite is too great, if this is the case, their army will be imminent." ”

"Ask for a price, sit on the ground and pay back!"

Gao Shun thought to himself that it would be a good idea to extort some materials from the Xiongnu Zuo General to strengthen himself, so he asked: "Who dares to send the Xiongnu Zuo General?" ”

Xu Zhen got up and said: "General, I am familiar with the Huns, and I am willing to go." ”

Gao Shun shook his head and objected: "Your hatred for the Xiongnu is unfinished, and it is not appropriate to send the Xiongnu to you." ”

The old village chief said: "The opinion is put forward by me, it is most appropriate for me to go, besides, even if there is any accident, my old bone does not matter." ”

Du Bian wants to join Taoyuan Fort, Gao Shun has done so at a young age, the future achievements are limitless, the sooner he joins, the more suitable it is, he is worried that there is no chance, now the opportunity is sent to the door, he must grasp it, so he stood up and said: "Gao Li is the person closest to Captain Gao, if the Huns are threatened by this, things are not beautiful; If the general believed me, Du, it would be better to send the Huns from the side. ”

Not only Gao Shun was surprised, but even everyone present was taken aback, but they didn't expect Du Bian to say this.

Gao Shun checked Du Bian's attributes again, the force value was only 38, but the intelligence reached 76, which surprised Gao Shun very much, no wonder it was an old fox, and there were really two hits; He thought that Du Bian had an official identity, and the envoy was indeed appropriate, so he said: "Du You, this envoy is full of dangers, and if you are not careful, you will suffer accidents, this is the matter of Taoyuan Fort, you can stay out of it, why bother with this." ”

Du Bian said stubbornly: "This is the matter of the people of Xixiang, the matter of Loufu County, and the matter of the Han Frontier, how can I stay out of it?" ”

"Haha, Du Youyi said it well, since this is the case, I will take you on a trip, and we will discuss relevant matters in detail later; Ladies and gentlemen, who wants to escort? ”

This time, Xu Zhen, Wei Wei, Xu Lin and many other generals stood up and applied to escort Du Bian to the Xiongnu peace talks.

Gao Shun looked at the attributes of Xu Zhen and Wei Wei respectively, and found that Wei Wei's intelligence was higher, and this time he needed to speak Xiongnu for a while, so Gao Shun decided: "Then Wei Dubo will select 10 officers and soldiers from all the cavalry and escort Du Youyi to the envoy early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes, host."

Gao Shun said: "Okay, after the big thing is over, everyone continues to eat and drink." ”
