Everyone laughed, and Sha Ling'er also laughed, and in the midst of everyone's bright laughter, Sha Ling'er's mind suddenly flashed in her mind about Brother Wang's explanation, so her face was not as cheerful as before, and she gradually smiled, frowned, and bit her lip into a deep thought.

"This time I went south to Chang'an, my brother hopes that you will ask the emperor of the Han family to give us the Jiuyuan region as much as possible, and the generous gift is 500 cattle, sheep and horses, if they don't want to marry their daughters, they can also do it, as long as the Jiuyuan region, their women, this single is not rare, there is no Han woman, there is also a princess of Loulan, if they don't want to, you must not take out a generous gift."

Mao Dun's words were still in his ears, and he told himself that he would come over Jiuyuan County. Sha Ling'er understands that Jiuyuan County has abundant water and grass, vast land, which is very suitable for grazing and hunting life, and it is closely connected to their current Henan land, but Jiuyuan County has always belonged to the Qin Dynasty, and now belongs to the Han Dynasty. Although the national strength of the Xiongnu has become stronger and stronger in recent years, the war is still undesirable after all. It just happened that the day of the in-laws of the Han Dynasty had arrived, and Mao Dun wanted to solve the problem of Jiuyuan County through a 'peaceful' way, and before leaving, he specially instructed his sister Luan Luan to try to ask for Jiuyuan County. Mao Dun is more or less a person who understands that the Han family does not give land easily, and land is the foundation of a country, and it is also a major material condition to show the strength of the country. He was unwilling to give the land to the king of Donghu, how could the Han family be willing to give him Jiuyuan County? But there is still a kind of hope that the emperor of the Han family is confused, if he can ask for it, if he doesn't come, the cattle, sheep and horses are destined to be impossible for the Han family, and there is nothing to hurt himself.

Sha Ling'er pondered Mao Dun's words, and before leaving, she agreed happily, she had never dealt with the people of the Han family, and her family and country had always been so arrogant and arrogant, and she looked down on the people of the Han family in her bones, thinking that the people of the Han family were cowardly and conservative. And in the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, the emperor of the Han family was still besieged by his brother in Baishan Mountain for seven days and seven nights, and it was natural to think that the people of the Han family were not as strong as the Xiongnu, and the national strength of the Han army was not as good as the Xiongnu. Sha Ling'er dared to agree, but in fact, she had already looked down on the people of the Han Dynasty in her bones, thinking that as long as it was a condition for the Xiongnu to talk, they would only obediently obey and dare not resist. It's just that in the past two days, the things she has seen and the people she has seen, Sha Ling'er has admired it in her bones, the loyalty of the ministers, the emperor's imperial style, the queen's motherhood, the grace and harmony of the harem, and the Zhaoming life of the subjects. The vitality of the Han Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger like a spark, and all aspects of politics, economy, culture, and military seem to be impeccable, and there is a solid and strong trend that makes Sha Ling'er dare not be arrogant and take it for granted anymore.

Thinking about it like this, Sha Ling'er realized that she had made a serious mistake and should not have given Liu Bang a generous gift on a whim. It's not a pity that there are hundreds of cattle, sheep and horses, his home country is a country on horseback, and there is no shortage of hundreds of cattle and sheep, but he hasn't said his brother's request yet, and he will give others benefits if he is reckless, and in the end he can't get what he wants, which is what Sha Linger regrets. Thinking of being reckless and reckless, and not thinking about what to do next, Sha Ling'er blamed herself for being too young in the bottom of her heart. I think that at the beginning, when Mao Dun killed his father and ascended the throne, some people persuaded him to launch a coup d'état in private to regain his father's throne, and today I think about it, fortunately I didn't do that, first, Mao Dun is my brother in the end, and second, the Xiongnu needs a more courageous and capable male lord who has the ability to plan for the future of the country. He is young and innocent, does not understand politics, and does not have a good blueprint for the country in his heart. Although it was wrong for the elder brother to kill his father, in recent years, he led the Huns to return to Henan, seized the Hetao Plain, eliminated Donghu, suppressed the Yueshi State, militarily attacked Loulan in the west, and deterred the Aries State in Henan, dominating the north and south of the desert. So Mao Dun's unbearable deeds in the past were gradually drowned out by these achievements, and everyone saw his eloquence, and gradually thought that the bridle of the Huns had to be handed over to the great Hun lord.

Sha Ling'er has long been immersed in the spiritual worship of her brother, how fierce she is to the outside, but she loves her only little sister, educating her like a father, cultivating her, teaching her to be a fierce woman in the Huns, teaching her horseback riding skills, archery skills, hunting skills, and control skills. Mao Dun had privately heard that someone had instigated Sha Ling'er to launch a coup d'état to push him down, but she didn't listen to others, which gave Mao Dun a reason to love her even more, he knew that his little sister had always been innocent, not involved in political affairs, and would not murder himself, so he redoubled his love for her and became the most favored princess of the Huns, and everyone admired her.

Mao Dun also gave his sister a heavy responsibility, and always thought that the women of the Huns were the best, such as this time in Chang'an, he took the Jiuyuan County as a test of his sister's ability, and succeeded, Mao Dun felt that it was not a vain education, it was not successful, and his sister's ability still needs to be strengthened. In the matter of Jiuyuan County, Mao Dun was still relatively lenient with Sha Ling'er, and he also knew that it was very difficult.

What I saw and heard in two days, I felt more and more that the grace and generosity of the Han Dynasty was incomparable with that of the Xiongnu, although the national strength was not comparable to the Xiongnu for the time being, but one day it would surpass the Xiongnu, and an inexplicable fear of the Han Dynasty came to my heart. Sha Ling'er felt guilty about the Huns to Mao Dun, thinking that it was difficult for him to complete the task given by Mao Dun, although Mao Dun said that he wanted to come over as much as possible, but Sha Ling'er was indeed a stubborn girl, if she wanted it, if she didn't want it, she didn't want it, and she didn't want it as much as possible.

But now I feel inappropriate to talk about this matter to the emperor, so Sha Ling'er couldn't help scratching the back of her head irritably, seeing that everyone was in a joy of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Sha Ling'er finally couldn't open her mouth, so she changed the topic and said to Liu Bang, "Your Majesty the Emperor, Sha Ling'er wants to see the princess of your country as soon as possible, because the royal brother also sent an envoy to Loulan to conclude a marriage, I am afraid that the princess of Loulan will enter our royal court with the princess of your country, the king of Loulan has asked the king brother to establish Loulan's daughter as the Yan family, and the king brother took into account the Han Dynasty and did not officially agree." , but the king of Loulan said that he wanted to enter the Xiongnu before the women of the Han Dynasty, so he ......"

When Liu Bang heard this, he was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly closed the brocade in his hand, put it in his cuffs, squinted his eyes, and asked with a look of disbelief, "Loulan?" Did Mao Dunshan Yu also marry Loulan? ”

Sha Ling'er said, "Brother Wang has attacked Loulan militarily in recent years, although it has not been completely subdued, but the vitality of Loulan has been greatly damaged, and it cannot compete with us, so we have to send envoys to our court to marry." ”

Liu Bang and everyone looked at each other, they were all silent, and they couldn't imagine that the Xiongnu had not only occupied the Hetao in recent years, that is, Henan, but also had married the Xiongnu like himself to the military attack on Loulan. When Sha Ling'er said this, it made Liu Bang a little uncomfortable, and he took the opportunity to suppress Loulan militarily, did he say it to himself? After a long time, Liu Bang let out an 'oh' with a little embarrassment, and said, "So that's the case, it seems that the princess can't stay in Chang'an for a long time." ”

Sha Ling'er nodded, "Please also ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible, and Sha Ling'er should return to China as soon as possible." ”

"Okay then, tomorrow I will let Princess Luan meet the princess of our Han family." Liu Bang said.

Sha Ling'er nodded lightly, she couldn't open her mouth about the Jiuyuan County area, she knew that land was the root cause of the kingdom conflict, and now she had to ask the Han family for a piece of land, unless he was crazy, he would give it, otherwise don't even think about it. The Hetao area and Jiuyuan County in the south of the Hetao are fertile land, if it is given to the Xiongnu, isn't it like Maodun beating himself with Liu Bang's horses, and when the Xiongnu horses have eaten enough grass, he will not be able to invade Chang'an in the south, and may even destroy Chang'an.

But if you go back, it's not your own character, not only did you not want to go to the Jiuyuan area, but you gave Liu Bang 500 horses for nothing, isn't this causing trouble for your own family? Sha Ling'er didn't know what to do, frowning and standing in place for a long time without saying a word.

Liu Bang saw that she didn't speak, so he asked, "What's wrong with the princess, why is her expression so weird?" If you're sick, let's ask the doctor to come over. Hurriedly turned his head and shouted to the outside of the hall, "Pass the imperial doctor......

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sha Ling'er, who didn't know where he got the courage to say in a tentative tone, "I'm not sick, thank you for Your Majesty's concern, it's just ......" At this point, Sha Ling'er paused, continued to smile and said stubbornly, "I don't know how big the range of rivers and mountains of the Han family is, but there are places that have been divided?" For example, Jiuyuan, it and Hetao were originally places where the Qin court competed with us, but now it still belongs to the Central Plains. If someone exchanges generous gifts, I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor will agree to divide the Jiuyuan region? Like what...... For example, if we divide it among our Xiongnu, we will deliver it to you with better gifts, just like the cattle, sheep and horses we just gave you. As soon as the words fell, I saw that everyone was focused on her, and everyone's faces were solemn and solemn.

Sha Ling'er was very uncomfortable with a thorn in her body, her hands were nervously rubbed under the corners of her clothes, and she turned to look at Niu Hu'er behind her, who also looked at her with an embarrassed expression. Sha Ling'er looked at everyone again, looked at everyone with an expression that seemed to be smiling or not, no, she didn't know whether to laugh or not, and asked softly and cautiously, "Did Sha Ling'er say the wrong thing?" I ...... "I didn't know what to say and lowered my head."

Liu Bang and Lu Hou looked at each other, and couldn't understand why she asked like this, those ladies and beauties were also shocked when they heard it, and divided the land to the Huns? Is this what Maudun means? Liu Bang's heart suddenly lit up, and he said why Mao Dun wanted to give him so many cattle and sheep, and said that there must be something hidden, it turned out that he wanted Jiuyuan County. Jiuyuan County is the land of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang is a hundred times more shrewd than Mao Dun, and wanting to ask him for land is a bit like asking a tiger to spit out the meat in his mouth, it is impossible. Sha Ling'er's words made Liu Bang feel a little sudden, and after thinking about it, he didn't expect it to be land, which suddenly made Liu Bang and his ministers a little confused, and it took a while for Liu Bang to come back to his senses. There was silence in the hall for a while, the atmosphere was embarrassing and embarrassing, and they were all silent, even Chen Ping opened his mouth slightly, and then lowered his head and drank alone.

Liu Bang suddenly laughed, stood in front of her, pointed to the great rivers and mountains outside the hall, and said quite boldly, "Princess Sha Ling'er is so lovely, she cares about the boundaries of the country and the rivers and mountains of other countries. My rivers and mountains stretch for 80,000 miles from east to west, north and south, and every inch of land is jointly fought by me and my good ministers. During the period, I risked the test of life and death, but God helped me, and I took Qin Court back in my own hands, looking at the splendid rivers and mountains, I was deeply grateful, the original suffering was not in vain, but if the princess said that she wanted to exchange land with generous gifts, you can ask my good ministers first to see if they are willing. He always maintained the smile of the emperor's arrogance and majesty.

Sha Ling'er looked around at the civil and military warriors who were looking at her, all of them were menacing, as if there was no room for negotiation. After Sha Ling'er understood the meaning, she felt that the smile on her face froze, and smiled awkwardly, "Sha Ling'er understands, land is the foundation of the country, how can it be exchanged for other things?" ”

Liu Bang was at a loss in his heart, and he couldn't determine what she meant by this, was it a joke or was it true?

"Is the princess alright? Could it be that this matter is the meaning of your country's Shan Yu? Liu Bangyang asked.

Sha Ling'er caught up with Liu Bang, who was staring at her eyes, and quickly dodged, "No, Sha Ling'er was joking just now, Your Majesty, I'm tired and want to go back to rest." Sha Ling'er knew that the matter had been messed up, and she couldn't hold her face if she continued to stay here, for fear that her mind would be seen through, so she found an excuse to leave quickly.

Liu Bang nodded, Sha Ling'er didn't say anything, he also knew a seven-seven-eighty-eight, so he explained to the guards on both sides and escorted Sha Ling'er back to Zhaoming Palace.

After bidding farewell to Liu Bang and others, Sha Ling'er left Weiyang Palace Hongtai accompanied by Niu Hu'er.

Along the way, Niu Hu'er seemed more anxious, her anxious fingers kept clutching the corners of her clothes, thinking of remedies, biting her lip and walking all the way, while complaining in her heart that Sha Ling'er couldn't say it and messed things up.

Sha Ling'er walked in front of her without saying a word, looking straight ahead, her eyes were deep and indifferent, but her heart was up and down.

Niu Hu'er caught up with her step by step, looked at the Han soldiers on both sides, so she pulled the corners of her clothes and said to her in Xiongnu, "Princess, tomorrow we must ask them for Jiuyuan County in a bright and bright manner, otherwise our generous gifts will not be given to them in vain?" Princess, you are really ...... How can you give a generous gift first? If you don't give it, let them give us back the cattle, sheep and horses, what is their princess, is it worth us to use so many generous gifts as a dowry? Niu Hu'er crossed her eyebrows coldly, and the corners of her mouth twitched excitedly.

Sha Ling'er stopped suddenly, turned her head suddenly, changed the gentleness and liveliness of the little girl in the past, and glared at Niu Hu'er loudly in the Hun language, "What do you mean, can't you see the scene just now?" When I was in the royal court, I said that this was not a good way, and I didn't want to think about how other people's land could be divided among us. ”

Sha Ling'er suddenly became angry, and even the soldiers who were escorting them next to her were startled by her sudden anger, but they didn't understand what the two of them were talking about, they didn't understand it at all, thinking that it was just a small conflict, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

"Princess......" Niu Hu'er wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Sha Ling'er's words, snorted coldly, and her clear spring-like eyes had already been replaced with sharp anger, "It's all your fault, don't think I don't know what you said to Brother Wang, you like Brother Wang, so I offered him a plan to ask the Han family to Jiuyuan, this time to go south to Chang'an is not what you should have come, but you want to go to Chang'an in person with my relationship, if you succeed, your credit will be not small, maybe Brother Wang will look at you differently?" Niu Hu'er, do you think this method is good? Even if there is no princess of the Han Dynasty, there is still a princess of Loulan, you, Brother Wang will not look at it, so it is better to offer less such a strategy in the future. ”

Niu Hu'er was scolded and didn't dare to speak, the corners of her mouth moved and she was speechless, she exhaled a long breath with anger, and her fingers creaked.

"However, Mao Dun Shan is there...... Niu Hu'er wants to use Mao Dun Shan Yu to talk about things.

"Brother, I will go and explain, fortunately, it is above the feast to talk about the Hetao, the atmosphere is better, and the speech is more free, if it is above their court, maybe we have already been arrested by them as a fine work now, but I am afraid that the emperor and queen are suspicious of this matter. Okay, I'll think about it again, let's go back. ”

Sha Ling'er turned around and left, Niu Hu'er stayed in place in a daze, with a huge wave in her heart, surging for a long time.
