Chapter 430 Negotiation and Praise of Ministers (Three More Votes!)
"In other words, these Qin troops can't be ignored, but if we fight to the death, we will also suffer annihilation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Bi Li closed his eyes, only to feel that there was a dead knot that could not be dissolved, lying in front of him, and finally he sighed: "Shan Yu, the people of the Central Plains have a word, when it is interrupted, it will be chaotic." Since there is no other choice, it is better to make a decision early. β
"Makes sense. β
Mao Dun bowed slightly, and no longer hesitated: "Where is Prime Minister Zuo, take my Mao Dun flag into the city and go to see the Duke of An Guo of Great Qin." Let's just say that I am a Xiongnu, and I am willing to ask Daqin for peace and establish an alliance between the two countries. β
As he said this, all the generals around him couldn't help but glance at each other, but they were speechless.
Only the right king of Hao Su was unwilling: "Shan Yu, maybe you can try their quality first?"
The right king of Hao Su and the left prime minister are both official positions of the king's account. The Xiongnu royal court is directly under the royal court, with the left and right Hao Su kings, the left and right prime ministers, the left and right king generals, etc., assisted by Shan Yu, and managed the three million accounts of the nine departments of the royal court.
"Temptation? Haven't you been tempted enough these days?"
Mao Dun laughed at himself: "Since the Qin army marched north, my Huns have lost 300,000 soldiers, isn't it enough?"
The whole hill was dead silent, and after a while, there was a man in a white fox fur, kneeling in front of Mao Dun: "Prime Minister Ke Li, I am willing to try my best!"
There was no certainty in this person's words, but Mao Dun only glanced at him, and he didn't care about it.
Asking Daqin for advice, it is impossible to just talk about white teeth. It is impossible to just say 'please peace' to make the Qin army withdraw its troops. You have to bargain and pay some price.
The Qin army had ventured more than 3,000 miles to travel so far, and what they wanted was not small, so how could they easily retreat their troops? Presumably, his prime minister Zuo, had also foreseen that this trip would be difficult.
Sending envoys for peace talks is not a trivial matter. A full half hour later, Ke Li took these twenty or so guards with the Shan Yu Wang Banner behind him and came to the front of Luqiu City.
It didn't take long before this gray and white stone city to wait, and the gate of the city had already opened, and Ke Li and the others were put inside.
And only an hour and a half later, Ke Li had returned again, kneeling in front of Maudun's horse with a look of shame.
"Qin Zhi'an Guo Gong has a saying that Qin and the Xiongnu can negotiate peace! But it is necessary for Shan Yu and King Zuo Xian to declare himself a vassal to Great Qin under the witness of the sun, moon and sky, and cede Shuofang City!"
"Ministers?"
General Zuo was furious, his eyes seemed to be like copper bells, and his hair was open: "Ruzi'er, you deceive me too much-"
However, before he could finish speaking, Mao Dun was a long whip that slapped him in the face. It also made all the ministers and generals present shut their mouths.
"Now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat! Don't you understand this truth?"
With a ghostly fire flashing in his eyes, Mao Dun continued to look at the gray and white city more than ten miles away.
"Continue to talk to him! You can't be a minister, but I, the Huns, am willing to take Daqin as a brother. Shuofang City can also be ceded to Great Qin, but it needs to be redeemed by Qin. β
Hearing this, everyone, including the holy mountain shaman Bi Li, was as pale as earth.
Shuofang City is a Qin city that was taken by Mao Dun when he rose forty years ago.
This place controls the throat of Liangzhou, not only makes Qin lose thousands of miles of land, 27 cities, but also has to spend a huge amount of money to build a 2,000-mile Great Wall in Liangzhou.
This is one of the most important achievements of Da Dan in his life, and it also made the 23 Xiongnu turn from defense to attack on Daqin.
But now, will this important city fall back into the hands of the Qin people?
Mao Dun himself didn't seem to care, but instead looked admiring: "When the covenant is made, I want to meet the Duke of An Guo." I really want to see what kind of character can force my Huns to this point!"
At the same time, Ying Chong was also in the tower of Luqiu City, looking at the Hun army outside, and at this time, the generals of the Qin army were also gathered.
"I wonder if the Maodun will agree?"
Wang Chengen has both expectations and apprehensions. Thinking that it is a generation of male lords in the grassland, he may not be able to endure this breath.
In fact, in his opinion, it is enough for the two sides to negotiate peace and take back Shuofang. With Shuofang Jiancheng, Liangzhou can recuperate, and Daqin can save nearly 10 million gold every year.
It is false to say that the two kingdoms will be in harmony for a long time and will always be a country of brothers. But once a war starts in the future, Great Qin will have a great advantage.
From Shuofang to the south of Yinshan, it is only 2,000 miles.
"Father-in-law doesn't need to worry!"
Li Jing was extremely confident, and looked at the Huns opposite him with a cold expression: "The last general knows that he is a man, although he is ambitious, he does not lose his senses. From the actions before and after the murder of his father, we can know that he is a person. At most, this person will only bargain, and the possibility of turning his face is very small. β
"I hope so!"
Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief, a month ago, he wouldn't have cared much about Li Jing's words.
But now that he has been getting along with each other for more than a month in the north, he knows that this Li Jing is no less talented than An Guogong.
"They don't have that confidence either!"
Ying Chong also smiled when he heard this, and a touch of pride flashed in his eyes: "As General Li said, if you want to attack Hearthstone, their troops are far from enough!"
And when he finished speaking, all the people in the tower saw another movement on the other side.
"It's coming!"
Ying Xuanniang's face was happy: "It's that Ke Li again-"
- Without her reminding, Wang Chengen saw fourteen miles away, the banner of the Hun King appeared again. And the person in front of the banner was the Hun envoy from before.
A quarter of an hour later, Ying Chong met Ke Li, the left prime minister of the Xiongnu, in the tent of the Chinese army in the city.
Compared with the previous meeting, Ke Li was a little more respectful. He no longer talked nonsense, and as soon as they met, he got straight to the point: "My family is only in words, and it is not possible to be called a minister, and my Huns are willing to serve Daqin as a brother." Witnessed by the immortal heaven, my family's big single swore by Lingtai that the Huns would not offend each other during the lifetime of the Duke of Anguo. Shuofang County can also be ceded, but Daqin needs to pay for redemption, and open two other fields, and it is forbidden to trade salt, tea, and ironware. In addition, during the peace conference, the Lord Guogong needs to allow my Xiongnu herdsmen to graze cattle in the Leng Riverβ"
Ying Chong didn't listen to the rest of the content. Instead, his eyes flashed and he looked at Wang Chengen.
In fact, he does not have the right to preside over the peace meeting, and the next thing is to go to the Heavenly Holy Emperor and let the government hall and the Privy Council decide. The bargaining after that should also be the responsibility of those cabinet bosses in Xianyang City. As the commander of the Qin army, he only had to force the Huns to bow their heads, and he had fulfilled his responsibility.
Ying Chong was only curious, why did the Xiongnu Shan Yu set the time of these two inconsistencies as his lifetime?
Could it be that the lord of the grassland also thought that he could only live for another four or five years? If this was the case, then he would make this Shan Yu very disappointed.

In the Xianyang Palace, Li Yixian, the Marquis of Guangwu, was under the guidance of a eunuch and went to the imperial study.
He knew what His Majesty had summoned him this time. It must be for the south of Yinshan at this time, and the victory or defeat of that battle is undoubted.
Since that young prince led 600,000 Qin troops to the north in a way of cutting first and then playing. In the entire Xianyang City, there was a strange atmosphere in the government and the opposition.
On the one hand, many people are extremely worried, thinking that the Huns' millions of people who control the strings are not easy to provoke. On the one hand, many people were looking forward to it, wishing that the whole army would be wiped out in the grassland.
However, before that Guogong, he had achieved many miraculous achievements, and after going north to the grassland, he continued to win victories. Therefore, both those who are worried about the war situation in the north and those who gloat have a little more patience. As long as there is no definite news sent back from the front, no one is willing to express their position lightly.
But this is only a superficial calm, and almost all the people involved are always staring at the north. Any news that comes back from the grassland will spread wildly throughout Xianyang City in a short period of time.
And those so-called people in the city who are good at the art of war also seem to have become fragrant buns, and they are frequently summoned by various powerful families to ask the north in detail, how much chance the Qin army has of victory, and so on-
Even the Heavenly Sage Emperor is no exception to this, and he, Li Yixian, is the top 20 in the list of famous generals, and he is naturally the object of consultation among the nobles in the government and the opposition.
Passing through a pavilion along the way, Li Yixian saw that the two princes, Ying Qiu Wan and Ying Jinyu, were practicing etiquette in this pavilion under the guidance of the ceremonial officials of Honglu Temple.
When these two saw Li Yi arrive first, they all looked respectful and waved at him from afar. Li Yixian didn't dare to hold it up, but also bowed solemnly, returned a salute, and then followed the eunuch and continued to walk in the direction of the imperial study.
As he walked, he thought in his heart that the etiquette just now was the ceremony of sealing the king. In other words, is their majesty finally going to knight a few princes?
It is estimated that when the affairs of the north are decided, it will be decided.
But when thinking of these days, those princes who came to visit the mansion from time to time, Li Yixian couldn't help but feel a headache.
His Majesty has not been crowned the crown prince for a long time, this is the reason for the trouble, and I really don't know what will happen to the court situation of Great Qin in the future.
That's right! Speaking of knighthood, after this war and the Huns, that young Duke An Guo should also be crowned king, right?
It is impossible to be a hereditary county king, but a county king who can be demoted to a first-class lord can be a certainty.
Comrades-in-arms in the past, it is really enviable to have a son like this.
Giving birth to a son should be like a country-
The young man was also forbearing, but a few years ago, he was still worried about the son of his old friend, who had fallen into such a situation.
Five years of dormancy, the world is lightly insulted, once rising, but straight to the sky!
When Li Yi stepped into the imperial study first, he saw that the Heavenly Saint Emperor was in front of a map, carefully staring in the direction of the southern foot of Yin Mountain.
Hearing Li Yixian's footsteps, the Heavenly Saint Emperor didn't look back, and asked directly: "I heard you say in Xie Mansion yesterday that in this battle, I can expect a big victory." The Huns, must ask for peace?"
