Chapter 306: Counting is Counting
"Han general, if you are willing to hand over all the Wuhuan people who fled here, and then offer 10,000 catties of gold and silver, 100,000 cattle and sheep, and 300,000 silk silks every year, then my Xianbei leader is willing to make friends with the Han generals and be friends forever."
The Xianbei envoy was very polite, after seeing Wei Tao who hurried to Jicheng, just after a slight salute, the lion opened his mouth, and asked Wei Tao for a lot of things in one breath.
"We Xianbei people have always been peace-loving and war-averse, but if we don't have enough explanations, in order for my Xianbei people to survive, then we Xianbei will also fight hard, and please understand the Han general!"
This sentence is already a threat to Wei Tao.
If Wei Tao's temperament is used to face such a provocation, even if he is not beheaded and sacrificed, he will be beaten out with a stick.
The two countries do not fight each other, this is nonsense in Wei Tao's opinion, like this kind of enemy, if you kill one, you will have one less, from the moment you decide to go to war, it is impossible for the two countries to be peaceful, let alone such barbarian foreigners?
"Smack!"
But Wei Tao knew that Zhou Yu and Xun You had a plan, so he could barely hold back his anger at the moment, but Rao was like this, Wei Tao still couldn't help but slap it on the desk and snorted coldly.
"Humph!"
And Wei Tao didn't want what he said at all, so he left and left, leaving the messenger in place.
When the messenger saw this, his face immediately became angry, but if he looked closely, there was still a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"Huh...... Envoy, please don't blame, you must know that although my general is unwilling to fight Xianbei here. But the messenger also knows that my generals are not afraid to fight anyone. ”
As soon as Wei Tao left, Zhou Yu greeted him with a smile.
"Presumably, the leader of Budugen also knows. Now that the interior of the Central Plains of my Han Dynasty is uneven, my general is focused on the battle for the Central Plains, and is unwilling to start a war with Xianbei, but it is impossible for Xianbei to take it, at least it can't be. ”
If Zhou Yu said that Wei Tao would not dare to fight with Xianbei, then even if Xianbei people were stupid, they would not believe it in the slightest, but they said so. The Xianbei messenger believed it.
In fact, Wei Tao has fought Wuhuan first and then attacked Xianbei over the years. Even the powerful Xiongnu did not dare to look south, and recently they directly hit Xiliang, and the Qiang people did not dare to fight with them openly.
Even if Xianbei has now annexed Wuhuan, it is not daring to say that he can compete with Wei Tao.
But Xianbei knows. Now the land of the Central Plains is already in chaos. Although there is a short-term peace between the princes of all walks of life, it is impossible to focus on the border passes, so this is the dare to go south to provoke Wei Tao.
"I came with sincerity as the leader, and the one who asked for it was just a drop in the bucket for the Han, can't I give it like this? If there is peace, it should be even more beneficial for the Han general! ”
A drop in the ocean?
If it was when the Han was at its strongest, these were indeed a drop in the bucket. But if there is chaos today, the number of these things is really not small.
But I have to say that the Chinese language of this envoy is very good. And I also have some understanding of Dahan, knowing that although I don't seem to pay attention to it, I actually want to talk about it.
But he obviously didn't know, and anyone could see their little thoughts.
Since they saw it, Zhou Yu and Xun You naturally followed their thoughts, and said with all kinds of words, as if they wanted to make peace, of course, there were many hard words.
In the end, it is impossible to say that there is any peace, but neither side has said that the words are dead.
In fact, this is also normal, in the past, but where is the negotiation not so?
However, the messenger obviously knew something, and although he didn't achieve anything, he couldn't help but smile in his heart when he left.
It's a pity that he didn't know, after he left, Wei Tao couldn't help but smile and said.
"Gong Jin and Gong Da are very calculating, if this is the case, then the Xianbei leader must be quickly south, and if he wants to hit me by surprise, when the time comes, he can frustrate his spirit. If that step had come in person, I would have captured him, and then all things would have been cut off from this. ”
Although Wei Tao did not participate in person, he knew what they said to each other, but he understood how tempting what Zhou Yu and Xun Yu said was for the Xianbei envoy.
It's enough to make him think he's got a plan.
In fact, after the Xianbei envoy returned to Xianbei, he immediately told Budugen everything about it, and listening to what the messenger said, Budugen was immediately overjoyed.
"Then Wei Tao was really deceived?"
"Yes, now the flowers and rivers of the Central Plains may be seized by him, at this time, he must not dare to provoke us, what he thinks must be to make peace with us. Now our army's attitude is exactly what they think, how do they know that in fact, the purpose of our army is not to seek a little profit at all, but to seek Youzhou. ”
The Xianbei envoy was actually a strategist of Budugen, and he also laughed proudly at this time.
"And it's not just that, if we can take Youzhou, take Jizhou, and then rely on our Xianbei strength, maybe we can fight for the Central Plains, sit firmly on the flowery Han River, and then what Huns, what Qiang people, where can we compare with our Xianbei?"
It is not a matter of one or two days that various foreign enemies covet the Han Dynasty, but even though the Han Dynasty has internal strife, its own strength is not weak, and it is not something that foreign enemies can shake.
Of course, for these foreign enemies, even if their daydreams can't be realized, it is not bad to plunder some benefits, so when they have the opportunity, they must go south to invade the Han.
"Good! If you can take Youzhou, you will be the first credit! Pass my order to immediately straighten out the military horses. Three days later, you go to Youzhou again to negotiate peace with Na Weitao, and if there are any conditions at that time, although you can agree, but you must let Na Weitao send you out of Youzhou! I know that Dahan pays the most attention to this kind of superficial kung fu, then Wei Tao will definitely not refuse, as long as you lead him out to the outside, when the time comes, as soon as my Xianbei cavalry charges, even if you can't kill it directly, you can also rush into Youzhou. ”
I have to say that this step can be the leader of a clan, and he still has the basic skills, and in words, he is very confident.
"Youzhou is a flat river, and under guard, those Han people must not all escape into the city, when the time comes, we can directly drive all the Han people to attack the city, consume the strength of the Han army, and wait until they run out of strength, not all of them become prisoners of our army? Didn't Youzhou become my Xianbei grassland? Hahahaha......"
Budugen's ability is indeed not bad, at least in Xianbei, although the deployment of troops cannot be done silently, but if you don't pay special attention, you will never find any difference from before.
The previous action can be said to be to deter the big man, and when the contract is certain, these soldiers will disperse.
In addition, when the Xianbei envoy arrived this time, his posture was already much more relaxed, so if he really didn't pay attention, he would definitely be paralyzed.
It was only a few days later, and the Xianbei envoy came again, compared to the arrogance of the last time, this time he was much more polite, and between his words, there was also a sense of sincerity.
If it weren't for the smugness in his eyes, no one could feel that something was wrong.
In fact, even Wei Tao gave birth to a feeling that after hearing the conditions of the Xianbei people, if it was really possible, then it was okay to spend some money not to fight with it for the time being.
"Oh? The Xianbei tribe just asked to trade with my Han Dynasty, and as long as my Han Dynasty offered cloth and silk every year, it would be okay? ”
Wei Tao was slightly stunned, but he knew that the peace talks were just a lie, so he quickly recovered.
"Recently, I heard that the Xianbei soldiers have been transferred, do you just don't want to go south, or are you really willing to live in peace with my Han?"
"Huh...... Wuhuan has been annexed by my Xianbei, a large piece of grain and grass is owned by my Xianbei, naturally there is no need to go south, but after the opening of commerce, salt and iron trading must not be banned, I Xianbei can be bought at the market price of Dahan, but it is impossible to stop. ”
The Xianbei envoy also knew that if there were no conditions, Wei Tao would not believe it, so he still put forward an extremely difficult condition.
The prohibition of the salt and iron trade has always been a means for the Han to restrain foreign enemies, and if it is opened, Xianbei will soon become irrepressible, so it can be said that this is a very important condition.
However, just as the purpose of the Xianbei envoy is not to negotiate, Wei Tao's purpose is also not to negotiate.
Now there is only one Xianbei in the northern foreign enemy, as long as it is suppressed again, even within ten years, Wei Tao will no longer have trouble in the north.
At that time, whether it is to prevent Wuhu Chaohua or to relieve the trouble of the abdomen and back, it can be said to be very beneficial, which is also the reason why Wei Tao is willing to spend time so much.
After more than a day of negotiations, an agreement was naturally reached in the end, but unfortunately such an agreement was probably not taken to heart by both parties.
According to the past practice, at this time, it is natural to send each other a ride, and because the agreement is reached, the delivery is even farther.
Wei Tao did not refuse Xianbei's request, and directly sent the big switch card to each other, but still ordered people to line up on both sides, which looked quite magnificent.
This arrangement is not a good defense, and it seems that Wei Tao is not the slightest defense.
But just when the Xianbei envoy was secretly happy in his heart, Wei Tao suddenly smiled.
"Friends come and drink, enemies come and hunt knives, this is a proverb on the grassland, I don't know if you have heard of it?"
(Thank God?) Ye No Wukong's reward, and thank you for the support of other book friends, thank you! (To be continued......)
