The bravery of the Huns was sometimes completely inversely proportional to their intelligence, which can be easily seen from Thoth. Luckily, though, they also have smart people like Atilu.

Seeing that Toth refused Li Mingyuan's counteroffer request without hesitation, Atilu couldn't help but scold this guy for being stupid in his heart. What good is it for you to block your opponent's retreat in such a hurry. The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention that the other party represents hundreds of thousands of Dahua's troops, among which there are many elite soldiers. It was completely offended and ruthless, and it was not in the interests of the Huns at all.

"Your Highness is cautious, the small one is the negotiation envoy of Shan Yu Qinling!" Atilu gave Toth a look and organized him to continue his misdeeds.

Toth was just as he was talking about it, when he was suddenly brought over by a dull stick from Atilu, and he was immediately depressed. However, he is also a person who understands the general situation, and he knows that his status as a prince is useless at this time. Shut up obediently at the moment, but in my heart I completely hated the old boy Atilu.

"Doctor Li doesn't have to mind, our Royal Highness the Prince is just joking with you! I believe Dr. Li will not mind! As soon as Attilu came forward, he hurriedly pushed what Toth said, which made the latter even more angry.

For this kind of infighting between enemies, Li Mingyuan likes it the most. Didn't the great man say that when you disintegrate the enemy, you are also strengthening yourself!

"Don't mind, don't mind, I admire Your Highness very much, I think Your Highness must also be a lover! He will be a pillar of talent one day! Li Mingyuan said with a smile and flattery. That's what made Thoth feel a little better. At the same time, I was thinking in my heart, an outsider still knows how to flatter me. You, Atilu, are just a slave, a slave who is favored in front of your father Khan, why are you yelling in front of me? When I ascend to the throne one day, I will be the first to clean you up!

Atilu didn't know what was going on in his mind now, and of course, if he did, he would be out of the way now.

This rare wise man among the Huns carefully observed Li Mingyuan's face and said cautiously, "Actually, my family Shan Yu is also a generation of British masters, and he also understands your hardships. So. He told me a long time ago that if you can't come up with so much money and food for a while, you can make up a large part of it first, and just make an IOU for the rest! ”

Atilu's words fully demonstrate his absolute wisdom. Touman's command: As long as you can succeed in getting half of the money and food, you will win. But that's also the bare minimum. Attilu felt that he was in his own ingenuity. Don't say it's five. It's easy to get caught! So he tactfully conveyed a message to Li Mingyuan. That is: dear, we support playing white strips!

Li Mingyuan was also shocked by Atilu's words, he didn't expect that there would be such a strange character among the Huns. It's completely against the rhythm of the sky! Look at him like this. I'm afraid it's really fake, and let Lao Tzu give a white note?

Gao Zhiming on the side felt that his head was completely insufficient, and the scene he saw today completely subverted his outlook on life and values that he had worked so hard to establish over the years!

"What do you mean is that we can deliver a batch of money and grain first, and then how much do we owe to you and pay you back?" Li Mingyuan was quite stunned.

"That's right, that's right, that's what it means, Dr. Li is really smart, just a little bit of it!" Attilu said with joy.

Gao Zhiming was stupid.

Li Mingyuan was stunned.

Hu Yanhao smiled.

Toth on the side looked at Atilu with admiration, and felt that this old guy still had something extraordinary. But this guy just likes to plug in everything. Taking advantage of everyone's daze, he saw the stitches and said, "But the batch of white strips will be calculated for you interest!" ”

Li Mingyuan: "~~~~~~~! ”

"It's just too much of a deception, what do you think of us? Is there no one to bully us? Brother Li, let's not talk about it, let's go back and do it with them! "Gao Zhiming is an angry young man by current standards, and for an angry young man, today's scene is unacceptable to him.

"Shut up, it's not your point to talk, stay with me!" Li Mingyuan rejected Gao Zhiming's request, joking, running away at this time, it would be strange if he was not chopped into minced meat to make human meat buns.

After hearing Atilu's plan, Li Mingyuan knew that the Huns must be very concerned about this batch of money and grain, otherwise there would be no need to make such a big detour to mention this matter. But you are in your heart, we have been quite an iron rooster from the beginning, and we have not pulled out a hair!

How to reject Atilu has become a difficult problem in Li Mingyuan's heart at the moment. People have already helped you with advice and allowed to play white slips, if there is no reason to do it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be convincing!

"Ha Luha, this suggestion from Mr. Atilu is excellent!" Li Mingyuan pinched his nose and said.

"Thank you Han Envoy for your compliment, compared to Dr. Li, your wisdom and wisdom, my little trick is really nothing, and it can't be put on the stage at all!" Being praised so much by a Han person, and by a high-ranking Han official, this is the first time that Atilu has grown so big, so at this moment, Atilu feels that his bones are about to be crispy.

"But what!" Li Mingyuan wanted to speak and stopped.

"I know, does the Han envoy want to talk about the issue of interest? That's okay. We have been neighbors for hundreds of years, and if you are really in trouble, I will ask you to consider waiving it! Atilu seemed to be in a hurry to show his outstanding wisdom, and Li Mingyuan was in a hurry to answer before he finished speaking.

Originally, this was just an unintentional sentence, but when I heard it in Toth's ears, it was called an uncomfortable one, what do you mean by saying that you are Atilu? Chengxin can't get along with this prince, right, I say a word, you can refute it, okay, then let's wait and see, you'd better not let me catch any handles, otherwise Lao Tzu will definitely kill you!

"Hehe, in this way, Xie Lu Xie Atilu!" Li Mingyuan said as he toyed with his fingers.

"Everywhere, everyone is their own person!" When Atilu saw Li Mingyuan's attitude, he was overjoyed, good guy. There's a drama here!

Gao Zhiming was a little unhappy when he saw Li Mingyuan's attitude, he felt that Li Mingyuan was showing weakness to the enemy.

The heart of the eagle is lofty, the ambition of the eagle is Lingyun, the nature of the eagle is to be in danger, and the god of the eagle is on the top of the mountain. At this moment, Li Mingyuan was really a little weak, and he admitted that he was not a hero who was not afraid of death. He will also feel frightened and frightened when faced with the enemy's knife edge.

Atilu's pressing made him angry and dissatisfied, but at the same time, he also had an indescribable sense of powerlessness. As the Qing Dynasty minister Li Hongzhang Li Zhongtang wrote in his fateful poem: The autumn wind sword lonely minister tears, the sunset banner general altar! The country is weak, the army is weak. In the face of a strong enemy. You can only retreat into advance. With Xiahou Yong's bravery, he still has to rely on himself to delay time, in order to gain more time to consolidate the city defense, I have to say that the once mighty Dahua Dynasty is really sick.

"I wonder if Mr. Atilu has done any research on my Dahua's management system?" Li Mingyuan opened his mouth and smiled.

Atilu nodded and shook his head. "I once wanted to study it. But then it turned out to be too hard. So give up again! ”

After Li Mingyuan sighed deeply, he said a little weakly, "Actually, my Dahua emperor is the most uneasy about his courtiers. Especially the courtiers who hold military power! ”

Atilu and Toth both looked puzzled, unable to figure out why Li Mingyuan would say this.

Li Mingyuan, who has experience in two lifetimes, of course knows that the current Huns completely regard themselves as a fat sheep. I'm going to bite as much meat down as I can. But they will be disappointed in the end. But now is not the time.

What does Dr. Li mean by this? Could it be that your emperor will not allow you to negotiate with us? Atilu looked a little nervous, he had studied the culture of the Han people, and the emperor of the Han people had a very high prestige, if he knew that his generals had fornicated with the enemy, he would definitely not let go of Xiahou Yong. It was the same in the Xiongnu.

"It's not, this matter is a private communication between us, as long as it is not pierced, the emperor's side will not know the truth!" Li Mingyuan smiled.

"Oh, that's good, that's good!" Atilu breathed a sigh of relief.

"But in this way, without the financial support of the central court, it is difficult to make up this amount with the strength of our military!" Li Mingyuan was puzzled.

Atilu: "How come, as far as I know, the commander of the Tiger Ben Army, General Xiahou Yong, has been made a marquis, besides, Dahua is so rich, I think this little money should not be a problem!" ”

Li Mingyuan finally saw a guy with thicker skin than himself, and when a few million taels of silver came into his mouth, it became a mere amount of silver, and this guy really didn't have a backache when he sat and talked.

"Mr. Atilu, don't you know, don't say that Xiahou Yong has been made a marquis, what about a duke? It's just a privilege, it's just a royal favor to it, it's worthless! Li Mingyuan pretended to be disdainful.

"No, according to our reliable information, your emperor of Dahua has always cherished this title, and without absolute merit, he will not be knighted, once he is knighted, it will be a noble!" Atilu is a person who has studied Han culture, and it is obviously very difficult for Li Mingyuan to easily get by.

"Haluha, Mr. Atilu, you only know one and you don't know the other! The title is noble, but it is only a symbol of glory and status. Although Xiahou Yong is a marquis, economically, he still has to be under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou Prefecture Mufang Zhiyi, and the military salaries and weapons of the Tiger Ben Army must be transferred to the army through the Liangzhou government! Li Mingyuan slowly analyzed.

"Eh, you Han people are ink, is it necessary to make it so complicated to send a weapon and military salary?" Toth frowned and sneered.

"Your Highness is right, so it is very difficult to raise such a large amount of money and food for a while!" Li Mingyuan's results cried poorly.

Seeing Li Mingyuan's shirking attitude, Atilu was a little unhappy, your sincerity is obviously not enough, is it a waste of saliva to say so many good things with Lao Tzu?

"In that case, I wonder how much Dr. Li thinks is appropriate?" Atilu tore off his hypocritical face and said.

Li Mingyuan pondered for a moment, and then spoke, "I think that if you have a million amounts of silver and 500,000 stone of grain, you should still be able to consider it!" ”

"What do you say? One million taels. Doctor Li, you're bargaining too much, let's cut it in half! Atilu said excitedly.

Hu Yanhao on the side also made a momentum and said, "One million taels of silver, send it to Huazi!" ”

For the clamor and dissatisfaction of the two. Li Mingyuan just smiled slightly and did not respond. Of course, he knew that these two guys were purely addicted. It is estimated that these two guys have never seen what a million taels of silver will look like when they are so big. It's just running a train with a mouthful.

Because Li Mingyuan's bargaining method was too cruel, even the scheming Atilu felt a little willing to bow down. But at the same time, he was also a little puzzled, did Li Mingyuan get a hint of wind in advance, how did he shout out the price just fixed on the bottom line of Shan Yu.

"Doctor Li, your offer is too low, it seems very insincere!" Of course, Atilu will not stop there, he wants to fight for more benefits for the Xiongnu.

"Mr. Atilu, this is already our bottom line, and we can't take out one or two more silver!" Li Mingyuan's expression was solemn. Unmoved.

Toth didn't have much of an idea of silver. Although the Xiongnu relied on force to dominate the border, they did not establish a stable financial system, but used the primitive method of barter to conduct transactions in most cases. Gold, silver, and dance objects are only eligible for the princes and nobles of the Xiongnu. But even so, Toth was a prince. It is estimated that all the belongings add up. and not even a thousand taels of silver. So what a million taels of silver is, with his intellect, it is difficult to understand.

"No, I can't. This fifty percent is really too little, so let's do it, for the sake of Kunlun God's face, let's be generous, Doctor Li, what do you think of the eight-fold discount? Atilu gritted his teeth and pretended to be very distressed.

Seeing that Atilu made concessions, Li Mingyuan guessed that the Huns were opening their mouths, and it was estimated that they also knew that it was impossible for the Huben side to spend so much money in exchange for peace, so they were more confident.

Although Li Mingyuan didn't believe in the Kunlun God, he still had to go against his heart at this moment, "Mr. Atilu's mind is as broad as the sea, which makes me see the infinite importance and desire of the Xiongnu people for peace, which brings me a great shock!" It also made me see the care of the Xiongnu people for the deep friendship between the two peoples! ”

Li Mingyuan's words are profound and rich in a certain degree of philosophy, and basically no one here can understand it except for Atilu.

"Dr. Li said with a smile, whether the friendship between the two peoples can continue to be passed on depends on your attitude!" Atilu smiled. He felt that he was the embodiment of God at this moment, bringing infinite wealth to his tribe.

"That's what Mr. Attilu said, but what!" Li Mingyuan's sentence made them all understand, and everyone immediately held their breath and waited for Li Mingyuan's next words.

"Because of various subjective and objective reasons, it is already our limit to be able to take out fifty percent of the materials, and if there are more, we are really powerless!" Li Mingyuan showed a weak look.

Attilu was silent, and so was Thoth. As for Hu Yanhao, he is purely playing soy sauce, and there is no point for him to intervene here.

"Seventy percent, Doctor Li, looking at the hundreds of years of friendship between the two clans, seventy percent is already the biggest concession we can make, and it can't be lower!" Atilu gritted his teeth and insisted.

Thoth didn't speak, this level of contest was no longer something they interfered with. There were already a few fine beads of sweat on Atilu's originally smooth forehead. This tent was already very luxurious and warm, and at this moment, it was a waste of brainpower, which made Atilu already feel a little stressed.

The latest offer of Atilu, Li Mingyuan was a little crying and laughing, he was originally coming over to take a turn and delay time, but now his fake envoy seems to be a little too into the play, and it is like really negotiating, even if he is as smart as Atilu, he was pulled into the chariot by him.

There are mixed tastes in his heart, but he is still serious and serious on the surface, and Li Mingyuan suddenly feels that the word duplicity is completely created for himself.

"I can understand your sincerity, but when I set off, my marquis told me that fifty percent is already our maximum ability, and the excess is really not available!" After Li Mingyuan was silent for many times, he finally did not let go.

Li Mingyuan's unrelenting attitude made Toth and Atilu feel pity from the bottom of their hearts, but Toth had a trace of luck, no matter what, he had made such a large amount of grain and grass, how could this be regarded as a pie in the sky!

Atilu has been observing Li Mingyuan, and found that he was very calm from beginning to end, thinking that this fifty percent is indeed the bottom line of the Han people, but whether to make a decision or not, he does not dare to make decisions on his own, think about it, or report to Shan Yu.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, if you have something to do, you can chat with the Han envoy!" Atilu got up and asked Toth for a word, but without waiting for the other party to agree, he hurried out.

For Atilu's disrespectful attitude, Toth was also helpless, and his face was naturally not much better.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is a wise and martial hero at first glance, and he will definitely be called the leader of the tribe in the future!" Li Mingyuan clearly saw the contradiction between Toth and Atilu, and deliberately intensified.

Hearing Li Mingyuan's flattering words, Toth felt a little better, but what Li Mingyuan said made him feel frightened for a while, fortunately, there were no outsiders present in the camp, and Hu Yanhao was also his father's confidant, and his uncle was naturally towards him.

"Doctor Li laughed at this, the future leader of the Huns is my eldest brother, Zuo Xian Wang Maodun, I am just a prince who has nothing, I dare not have that luxury!" Toth looked at Li Mingyuan and said earnestly. (To be continued......)
