Chapter 384: The Land of the Four Counties is in your hands
Although Liu Bao knew that Qin Xiaobai was definitely uneasy and kind when he came to talk with him, but now that they had been without food for three days, the soldiers under his command would soon be unable to bear it.
Therefore, now that this situation does not allow him to have other ideas, Qin Xiaobai can talk to him to explain that there is still a glimmer of life, so he has no choice but to agree to negotiate with Qin Xiaobai.
In this battle, the Qin army had the upper hand, so it was impossible for the negotiations to be held in the Xiongnu military camp, but Qin Xiaobai, in order to show his sincerity, did not set the negotiation site in the Qin army military camp.
Instead, a small pavilion was built in the center of the camp in front of the two armies, and the leaders of the two sides were only allowed to bring no more than a single-digit retinue.
Qin Xiaobai's move also made Liu Bao let go of his last concerns, so he came to negotiate with Qin Xiaobai.
"If you have something to say, our Huns' sons are all eagles on the grassland, and they will not succumb to your obscenity, and we will fight to the death after we finish speaking."
However, although Liu Bao agreed to negotiate, it was obvious that his attitude would never be any better, as soon as he entered the small pavilion, he pressed the knife on his waist with a black face, and said to Qin Xiaobai with a tough attitude.
"The general of the defeated army is brave enough to fight, and he will fight if he wants to."
Huo Quai, who was behind Qin Xiaobai, saw that Liu Bao was disrespectful to the lord, so he immediately drew his sword and shouted at Liu Bao.
Liu Bao has a reputation for bravery in the entire Xiongnu, and has never been afraid of anyone, but after a battle in Jiuyuan County, he saw Huo Quzhi's terrifying car hanging in battle, and he has been very afraid of Huo Qubing since then.
Now seeing Huo Quai's illness and drawing his sword and drinking, Liu Bao's heart suddenly jumped.
Qin Xiaobai didn't care about this, he could see that Liu Bao was pretending to be tough, just to increase the bargaining chips, so he asked Huo Qubing to sit down.
Then he smiled slightly and said to Liu Bao: "Now, your father is about to die, who are you fighting for so desperately?" β
Liu Bao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by this!?" β
Qin Xiaobai directly asked people to get what Jinyiwei obtained. The information on the civil strife of the Xiongnu was handed over to Liu Bao.
After reading the information, Liu Bao's horror was beyond words, and even the whole person was stunned.
Now that Liu Bao is besieged by the Qin army, it is already a pattern of nine deaths and one life. But there is a silver lining in the end.
But if the Xiongnu were in civil strife and his father Yuvro was killed, then there would be no place for him in the world, and even if he fled back to the Xiongnu, he would definitely die.
It was the equivalent of his death notice, and it was no wonder he was so shocked.
And this is what Qin Xiaobai wants. After letting Liu Bao feel it for a while, he said to Liu Bao with a smile: "Now the internal situation of the Xiongnu is in crisis, but it is not without a solution, if you can now retreat and lead the army to leave, leading an army of 400,000, plus your father Yufuluo's 200,000 army, it is enough to have a fight with the right sage king Xu Bu Gu Marquis." β
"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, I'm besieged by you now, and it's hard to get back alive. Not to mention the whole body retreated. β
Liu Bao immediately disdained when he heard this, but as soon as the words fell, Liu Bao's eyes suddenly lit up, since Qin Xiaobai asked him to come to the talks, and now he told him this, it was obvious that he would not be using him to have fun.
Thinking of this, Liu Bao's originally cold heart suddenly became hot, so he immediately asked Qin Xiaobai, "What are the conditions for letting us go?" β
Liu Bao asked this question well, as if he was asking Qin Xiaobai. It's like cutting a few pounds of his flesh......
This made Qin Xiaobai very satisfied, and this product was finally on the road......
So Qin Xiaobai stopped going around in circles with Liu Bao, and said to Liu Bao bluntly: "I can let you leave safely, and even send boats to help you cross the Yellow River." There is only one condition for rushing to the Hetao grassland as soon as possible, and that is to return the four counties outside the Saiwai to our Northern Saidu Protectorate. β
Liu Bao thought that Qin Xiaobai was going to offer some high price, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked: "Aren't the four counties outside the Saiwai already in your hands?" β
Among the four counties outside the Saiwai, Dai County and Yunzhong County have been fully occupied by the Qin army. Although Jiuyuan County only broke through the Jiuyuan County City, as soon as Liu Bao retreated from the Xiongnu civil strife, it would be easy for the Qin army to obtain the remaining Jiuyuan County counties.
As for Shuofang County, even if the Xiongnu had the strongest force in Shuofang County, reaching a million people, Wei Qing could firmly occupy a place.
Now that the Marquis of Subu Gudu is leading a million-strong army to attack the Hetao grassland, the defenders of Shuofang County are empty, so sooner or later this county will be included in the Qin army.
Qin Xiaobai shook his head and said: "Although the four counties outside the Saiwai are actually mostly controlled by us, but nominally, at least within your Xiongnu, you still think that the four counties outside the Saiwai belong to your Xiongnu, so I want you to admit on behalf of the Xiongnu and officially return the four counties outside the Saiwai to us, so as to avoid disputes over the four counties outside the Saiwai in the future." β
The nominal ownership of the four counties outside the Saiwai is very important, although these four counties were established by the Han Dynasty, but the territory of the four counties outside the Saiwai was also snatched from the Xiongnu.
The four counties outside the Saiwai have now been occupied by the Xiongnu for many years, so there is indeed a lot of controversy about who is right and who is wrong.
If the Xiongnu can take the initiative to give up the ownership of the four counties outside the Saiwai, then it will greatly increase the stability of the four counties outside the Saiwai and pave the way for Qin Xiaobai to lead the development of the four counties outside the Saiwai in the future.
At the same time, if the Xiongnu sent the four counties outside the Saiwai to the Northern Saidu Protectorate, it would also play a great role in this war outside the Saifu.
Because of this, a message was released to the outside world, the Xiongnu softened, and the Qin army could free up their hands to deal with them, which would be a great deterrent to both the Qiang and Karasuma, and even the two tribes could withdraw their troops because of this.
"Impossible."
However, Liu Bao categorically refused the conditions offered by Qin Xiaobai, and then said to Qin Xiaobai:
"I lost the battle in the south this time, which has damaged my prestige, and now if I send you to the four counties outside the Saiwai, how can I serve the people, and when the army is disheartened, even if I go back, how can I defeat the Marquis of Xubu Gudu."
Qin Xiaobai said with a smile: "I thought it was a problem, you can rest assured of this, when the time comes, you only need to say that this time you can win the battle when you go south, but the Marquis of Xu Bugu will collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, send us intelligence, and deliberately let you lose him so that you can use this excuse to launch a coup d'Γ©tat." β
"Is this true?" When Liu Bao heard this, his eyes suddenly burst with a ray of hope, if the Marquis of Xu Bu Gudu collaborated with the enemy to betray the country and send intelligence, then he would have such a fiasco.
"Of course it's fake, how can you defeat our Qin army." Qin Xiaobai ruthlessly broke Liu Bao's illusions.
"......" Liu Bao's face suddenly turned red.
Qin Xiaobai continued to inculcate thick black science to Liu Bao: "You can claim to the Xiongnu internally that the four counties outside the Saiwai originally belonged to our Han Dynasty, and you Xiongnu are just leased, and now that the time for the lease is up, we will naturally take it back."
And with your arguments, we haven't collected the excess rent yet.
At the same time, you can also put forward the slogan that you must first secure the inside before you go outside, and lead your troops to crusade against the national thieves. The soldiers and civilians of the Huns will only think that you endure humiliation and bear the burden and put the overall situation first, and when the time comes, they will wave the flag and shout for you. β
"Also...... It is also possible to reverse black and white like this. Liu Bao was dumbfounded.
"Absolutely." Qin Xiaobai is serious.
immediately took out a contract that had been prepared a long time ago, saying that Liu Bao only needed to sign this contract to be returned to the four counties outside the Saiwai, and everything would not be a problem.
Behind Qin Xiaobai, Bai Yuanfang and Huo Qubing both pretended not to know Qin Xiaobai......
"The Han people are really cunning and cunning......"
Liu Bao was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but sigh, and then after his expression changed for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed to sign the word Liu Bao on the contract in front of the table for losing power, humiliating the country, ceding land, and seeking peace.
