Chapter Twenty-Eight: Blackmailing Karasuma

"Never." Fu Zhu hurriedly objected.

"Why not." Liu Yao's tone was a little dissatisfied.

"My lord, what do you think of the strength we have in mind compared to the entire Karasuma clan?" Frustrated said lightly.

"What if there are a lot of Karasuma people, in my eyes they are just rats." Liu Yao said in high spirits. This time, Liu Yao killed the Karasuma people without leaving a piece of armor, and also led him to become blindly confident, thinking that the Karasuma people could be destroyed with a backhand.

There was a hint of anger on his face, and he said coldly: "Lord, do you know what it means to be arrogant and defeated. ”

When Liu Yao heard this, he suddenly felt a thrill, reacted instantly, and saluted to the frustrated professor, "I'm sorry, Gonghe, I'm arrogant, and I ask Gonghe to teach me." ”

Fu Zhu nodded, obviously very satisfied with Liu Yao. Liu Yao is ambitious, strategic, and approachable, although he sometimes makes some mistakes, but he can also know that he can change his mistakes, and he is very fortunate to meet such a master.

"My lord, we still have about 40,000 soldiers and horses under our command now, but to be honest, except for your personal guard battalion and the trapped camp under Gao Shun, which can be called a real elite, the other soldiers can only be said to be average. The reason why we were able to defeat Karasuma this time was mostly because of outwitting, and if we fought head-on, our army would definitely be defeated. Now that the lord has just taken over Youzhou, various places are still in development. If you want to say that it is okay to keep one side safe, if you go on an expedition, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it. And even if Karasuma is destroyed, there will be one more Huns, and Youzhou will be powerless to resist at that time. It's better to keep Karasuma to resist the Huns. I believe that after a few years of development, let alone an Karasuma at that time, even with the addition of Xianbei and Xiongnu, we are not afraid of them at all. ”

"If you are taught, just do what the public tells you." Liu Yao said. But then it seemed that something sounded again, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "But since the Karasuma people took the initiative to negotiate peace, then how can it be okay if they are not allowed to bleed." ”

Seeing Liu Yao's smile, he couldn't help but tremble, in his impression, once Liu Yao showed this smile, there would always be people who were unlucky, and he had already begun to mourn for that envoy in his heart. When he joined Liu Yao's command, he also had the credit for Liu Yao's calculations, of course, he naturally did not complain, on the contrary, it can be said that it is a blessing in this life to meet such a lord.

Two days later, the envoys of the Karasuma people arrived in Jixian County. Liu Yao very politely prepared to entertain this person.

When the Karasuma envoy was ushered into the hall, he saw Liu Yao sitting on the main seat. And Shi A is standing beside Liu Yao. Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Tian Feng were each sitting on both sides.

As soon as the Karasuma envoy stepped in to inquire about Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong, they directly and unceremoniously shrouded all their murderous aura on the envoy. After all, this envoy is also similar to the appearance of Karasuma's civil official, where has he ever felt such a strong murderous aura. Suddenly frightened, the whole body softened.

Liu Yao looked at it and showed a hint of a smile, it is always beneficial to give a dismount at the beginning to the following negotiations. "Ahem." Liu Yao pretended to cough twice, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong naturally understood, and retracted their murderous aura. "You're Karasuma's envoy. Sitting"

The envoy felt as if he had just walked back from the ghost gate, his feet were weak, and he reluctantly walked to his seat and sat down.

"What did you Qiuliju send you for?" Liu Yao asked straight to the point.

The envoy said respectfully, "Lord Qiyu, this time our king sent me to make peace with you Han and not invade each other. There is also the one who picked up the general of the Commission for Discipline Inspection who was captured by the adults. ”

Liu Yao sneered and said, "Your king is a good idea, just like that, you want to make peace, and you want to take back the prisoners of your own officials?" ”

"No, no, no. Our king said that we can use 8,000 horses, a top-class war horse. 20,000 heads of cattle and sheep, 3,000 gold, and countless cherished fur medicinal materials as a condition for peace. The envoy hurriedly said.

"Huh? I'm very satisfied with this condition, so let's do it," Liu Yao nodded and said.

"Oh, thank you, sir, I don't know if we can slow down our Karasuma generals now." The envoy was very excited, and thought to himself, "I didn't expect this person to be so easy to speak, and he is twice as bad as the bottom line that King Qiu Liju gave me." When I go back, the king will reward me well. ”

"What to release, did I say that I want to release people?" Liu Yao pretended to be stupid and said.

"You ......" made the festival extremely angry, and said angrily, "Aren't you Han people the most trustworthy, how can you not talk without words?" ”

"Bastard, this official is also something you can blame?" Liu Yao slapped the table with a slap, startling the envoy. "The conditions you just made are the conditions of peace, as for the four captives, if you want it, you can't do it, just pay the ransom." The corners of Liu Yao's mouth showed a wicked smile.

"How much ransom do you want, sir?" When the envoy heard that there was still hope, he asked in a low voice.

"It's not expensive, four people, 5,000 horses for one person, a top-class war horse, 10,000 cattle and sheep, and 2,000 gold." Liu Yao directly opened his mouth.

"What, you...... What are you...... In the rush ...... Disaster. The envoy's face turned pale with fright when he heard this, and he stuttered a little when he spoke anxiously.

"Hmph, at this price, if you don't want to, please go back, as for those four guys who waste food, I will let people bury them." Liu Yao said indifferently.

"You are not afraid that our King Qiu Liju will personally lead the soldiers and horses to attack Youyouzhou." The envoy was extremely angry, and directly threatened Liu Yao.

Liu Yao said with a very angry smile, "Okay, good, good, good, you are still the first to dare to threaten this official, Yide, throw him out for me, order all the soldiers and horses, and kill Karasuma Mountain tomorrow." ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he jumped up excitedly, he had already seen that this guy was unhappy.

"Wait a minute, my lord, wait a minute, we can still have a good discussion." When the envoy heard that Liu Yao was not threatened at all, but on the contrary, he was going to attack Karasuma, and he was immediately afraid, if such a thing happened, then he would be the sinner of the entire Karasuma. Hurriedly pleaded in a low voice.

Liu Yao waved his hand, and Zhang Fei retreated knowingly. "Finally, I will give you a chance, whether you want to redeem it or not, it's up to you."

The envoy gritted his teeth, calculated the bottom line that Qiu Liju gave him, and finally said, "My lord, even if you kill the conditions you just said, you can't get them, we can give up to three thousand horses, one top-level war horse, five thousand cattle and sheep, and one thousand gold." ”

"Okay, just on the terms you said." Liu Yao agreed without hesitation, and the original price was originally a lion's mouth. Being able to get the current ransom has greatly exceeded Liu Yao's expectations.

"Whew." When the envoy heard that Liu Yao had finally agreed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, if he continued like this, he would be scared to death sooner or later. "In that case, my lord, can you now release the four generals of my Karasuma?"

"It's okay to let them go, as long as your ransom is paid, I can release them at any time." Liu Yao can't trust these Karasuma people, so the rule of handing over money and delivering goods with one hand is still necessary.

"Thank you, sir. Then the villain will sue sΓΉ first, and the villain will do his best to send the ransom over. After saying that, he left the hall under the leadership of a Youzhou soldier.

"Hahaha." After the envoy left, Zhang Fei finally couldn't help laughing, "Haha, lord, this Karasuma man is so funny, you see his face is green for a while, and black for a while." ”

"Hahahaha." Hearing Zhang Fei say this, everyone present couldn't help laughing.

"My lord, in general, the benefits we got from the Karasuma people this time are really quite a lot, a total of 80,000 horses alone, not to mention the others. Karasuma went through this battle, and he was absolutely out of breath in a short period of time. Frustrated with some schadenfreude on the side.
