This time it was Meng Xingyuan's turn to be dumbfounded, the war horse was the treasure of the Huns, even more precious than his wife. The other party gave 3,000 horses at once, which can be described as a "big gift".

"Is there too little benefactor?" Captain Wan obviously didn't understand why Meng Xingyuan was stunned.

"No, not a lot. These are too many. "The other party is full of sincerity, and Meng Xingyuan can't be a villain in Long Wangshu.

"We're done. Tomorrow, I will take my horses to meet my brothers. The captain poured another bowl of wine, "Come, drink!"

Meng Xingyuan also stood up and drank the wine in the bowl with Captain Wan. The two of them threw the bowl on the ground at the same time, grabbed each other's hands, and laughed. There is no trace of cunning necessary in negotiation in the laughter, only sincerity and boldness!

"I'll say a few more words while I'm not drunk yet. Then, Meng Xingyuan explained in detail the benefits and many details of doing trade to the two countries, and explained it to the people around him in detail. Everyone nodded their heads one after another.

"I think what you're saying makes too much sense. I must convey it to the leader of Shan Yu word for word. "Now, let's have a drink together." ”

That night, Meng Xingyuan didn't remember how many bowls he drank, first he drank with the captains of the Huns, then several commanders were also allowed to join the wine bureau, and then several centurions also served wine bowls. In the end, only Meng Xingyuan did not pour it.

According to Meng Xingyuan's amount of alcohol, drinking so much wine, let alone getting drunk, it is possible to drink to death. The reason why you can drink so much is completely because of Ah Feng's help.

The next day, Captain Wan came early to call Meng Xingyuan to get up. He also brought breakfast – another big pot of meat. Meng Xingyuan, who had just woken up, looked at the greasy food, and had no appetite at all, but he was embarrassed to refuse, so he had to reluctantly eat a few pieces.

After the meal, Captain Wan kept urging Meng Xingyuan to set off quickly. Meng Xingyuan didn't want to waste time, so he led hundreds of Xiongnu and 3,000 horses back to his military camp.

When he was three miles away from the barracks, Meng Xingyuan asked Captain Wan to take a break for a while, and he went to the barracks first. In a short time, the Qin army escorted out the vast number of prisoners. The two sides exchanged horses and prisoners, and the scene was very harmonious and orderly.

The captives thought they were certain to die, but they didn't expect that they would be released. After returning to their ranks, many people cried directly.

"Thank you, benefactor! I will certainly personally meet with the chief of Shan Yu and share your opinion with him. After receiving the prisoner of war, Captain Wan saluted Meng Xingyuan and said sincerely.

"Then I'll wait for good news. Meng Xingyuan returned the salute and said, "I don't know how long I can receive your good news?"

Captain Wan shook his head, his face ashamed: "I don't think this time will be too short. I'm ashamed to say that, because of my fiasco this time, our leader Shan Yu has already moved seven hundred miles north. I need to walk an additional 700 miles to see the leader, and then I need to take 700 miles to bring the leader's meaning back. ”

Hearing this, Meng Xingyuan's heartbeat accelerated, but he said quietly on his face: "In order to reduce the war, reduce the casualties, and also to let the people of our two countries live a life without war, please hurry up." ”

After saying goodbye to Commander Wan, Meng Xingyuan rushed back to the camp tent, found Meng Tian, and said excitedly: "Marshal Meng, great news! The commander of the Huns just said that their leader has retreated seven hundred miles north, and if we don't take advantage of the victory to pursue, what are we waiting for?"

Meng Tian thought for a moment: "That's right." If they retreat seven hundred miles, we will advance seven hundred miles. These seven hundred miles of land are ours. ”

Then, all of a sudden, he stood up and shouted, "Just do as you say, haha, seven hundred miles wow!"

Two days later, wait until the Huns are far away. The outpost sent out in advance also came back to report that the Xiongnu did not divide the troops and break the rear. Meng Tian was overjoyed and immediately ordered to set off from the village and go all the way to the north.

Perhaps it was the low morale of the Huns after the defeat, or perhaps the relaxation brought about by the imminent peace talks, the Qin army followed the Xiongnu northward for seven hundred miles unhurriedly, without encountering any resistance or leaking a single piece of news.

After going north for 700 miles, Meng Tian set up camp, built a defense, and waited for the battle. Not long after, the captain who met with Meng Xingyuan came to Meng Tian and Meng Xingyuan in a panic.

His face turned red because he was surprised and angry: "Two marshals, didn't we say that we would talk about peace? Why did you bring your troops here?"

Meng Xingyuan said: "This is a bad statement. We are not attacking your country, but we are trying to save time for peace talks. We're here, so we don't have to bother you to make another trip south. ”

Captain Wan's face turned even redder, and his words were all confused: "However, this is our land, you can't come, you are violating ...... like this."

Meng Tian's eyes widened: "We can't come to your land, so it's okay for you to invade my Great Qin?

Captain Wan was speechless and stunned for a moment.

Meng Xingyuan also said: "The first issue we need to solve now is peace talks, not arguing about land and encroachment here. When our peace talks are over, there will be no war, and everyone will be friends, so wouldn't it be easier to discuss the border matter again?"

Meng Tian slapped the table: "What's the use of peace talks? According to my meaning, let's attack directly." If I can destroy 30,000 of you, I can destroy 300,000 of you. You also see our strength, you see our weapons. If it weren't for Deputy Marshal Meng's kindness, I would have ordered the arrows to be shot through your tents. “

The sweat of the ten thousand men came down, his face turned from red to pale, he opened his mouth, and could not say a word.

Meng Xingyuan spoke again: "The marshal is angry. If we really do not negotiate peace, if we continue to fight, we can completely destroy anyone with new weapons, but we ourselves will suffer some casualties. For the sake of unnecessary sacrifices, please think twice, marshal. ”

Meng Tian looked angry: "They Huns have bullied us for so long, shouldn't we pay them back with blood?

Meng Tian and Meng Xingyuan were white-faced and red-faced, singing and harmonizing, so that the captain was scared and didn't dare to come out, he only said resignedly: "Two marshals, don't use force again." I will go back to the chief and ask him to make peace with them at once. Okay, okay?"

"You'd better hurry. Otherwise, I'll be tired of waiting, and I'll give the order to attack. "Meng Tian's domineering appearance is indeed a bit scary.

The captain hesitated for a moment before saying, "There is no problem with this. It's just that, in order to show sincerity, the two generals, can you stand back a little bit......"

"No!" Meng Tian slapped the table again, "I didn't attack now, it's already the greatest sincerity." If you're still here to bargain with me, be careful that I cut off your head!"

Captain Wan's face changed drastically, and he fled in a hurry, and Meng Tian and Meng Xingyuan laughed together.

"A weak country has no diplomacy, this sentence is too right!" Meng Xingyuan sighed deeply.

Meng Tian and Meng Xingyuan placed their heavy troops in Shangjun (located in present-day Yulin City, Shaanxi), relying on the natural danger of the Yellow River, which could be attacked, retreated and defended, and occupied a favorable geographical situation.

Meng Tian is a military general, and he travels all year round. Meng Xingyuan is still young and inexperienced. Therefore, for this significant negotiation, Meng Yi led more than a dozen people and hurried over. He brought Qin Shi Huang's opinion on the matter and was the first person in charge of the negotiations.

On a sunny morning, Meng Yi led Meng Xingyuan and a dozen other people to the Xiongnu base camp to negotiate. This was Meng Tian's idea, he thought that going to negotiate with the Xiongnu would be fearless, and it could bring psychological pressure to the Xiongnu, so that it would be easier to get the Xiongnu to agree to the conditions he proposed.

Meng Tian took his soldiers and horses and sent his younger brother and Meng Xingyuan to a place five miles away from the Xiongnu camp, and once again instructed: "Two brothers, you must be careful, if you can talk, you will talk, and if you can't talk, you will come back." If the Huns are difficult for you, the elder brother will definitely lead the troops to rush over and level the Huns' camp. ”

"Big brother, don't worry. Meng Yi got on the horse, "Brother Meng is brave and resourceful, and the other brothers he brought are also good hands." I dare not say what results can be negotiated with the Huns, if we kill them, there is no difficulty. ”

"Good. Meng Tian handed the whip to his younger brother, "Then I'll wait here for the brothers to return safely!"
