Chapter Eighty-Six: Lees' Negotiation Skills

"Prime Minister of Qin, I have been negligent before, please forgive me." Barson apologized and then confided in what had happened yesterday.

"The reason why I didn't have time to escort the mission yesterday is because General Ben already knew that Wolf Eye led the army to come and wanted to intercept and kill your mission, so General Ben led the army to block Wolf Eye, in order to ensure that your country's mission can reach Warburg smoothly."

"Please also ask the prime minister to be able to say a few more kind words for me in front of the Huns."

Barson had a flattering attitude.

Seeing this attitude, Li Si chuckled and said, "General Barson, Li Si was almost assassinated by the Prison Shadow Assassin last night, and you didn't do your escort mission well!" ”

Bason quickly apologized again, "Prime Minister, this is indeed my duty, please forgive me." ”

"Okay, let's not mention the past, General Bason was able to escort at this time, which is enough to show the sincerity of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, in this case, Li Si will definitely speak well for the Basen General in front of the Xiongnu Shan Yu."

Hearing this, Bason learned the etiquette of the Qin State and thanked: "Thank you to the Prime Minister of the Qin State." ”

It was not far from Warburg, and under the opening of the road by Basenti, the Great Qin delegation arrived smoothly and met the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

Xiongnu Shan Yu warmly greeted the Great Qin delegation, and after a polite salute, he began to talk about formality in the Xiongnu Shan Yu's big tent.

Li Si led the Great Qin delegation, and the Xiongnu Shan Yu also had his own civil officials to negotiate the matter of claiming the minister's offering.

"Shan Yu, Li Si came on the orders of His Majesty Emperor Great Qin II." When Li Si said this, he didn't go on.

When the Xiongnu heard this, he was slightly embarrassed and said: "Your country's prime minister, the Xiongnu intend to marry Daqin forever, so they want to marry Daqin." ”

"I have a daughter, eighteen years old, very good-looking, and I am willing to serve the second emperor in Xianyang Palace."

Xiongnu Shan Yu did not mention the matter of confessing to his ministers, which made Li Si have to doubt the sincerity of Xiongnu Shan Yu.

People's hearts are already changeable, and for the Xiongnu Shan Yu, offering to the Great Qin will indeed make it difficult for them.

But Daqin's 400,000 troops were already stationed in the territory of the Xiongnu, and they also occupied a large area of fertile grassland of the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu wanted to fight but couldn't fight, and if they didn't fight, then they could only negotiate peace.

But the current situation is that Daqin's 400,000 troops are swinging there, and the so-called peace talks can only be done by claiming to be a minister.

Therefore, Xiongnu Shan Yucai thought about preserving his last strength, even if it was to offer to Daqin's ministers, otherwise, once the net with Daqin was broken, the last benefit would definitely be his ambitious younger brother Wolf Eye.

Li Si didn't want to go around the bend with the Xiongnu Shan Yu, as the prime minister of Great Qin, he had long stood in the position of the Xiongnu Shan Yu to analyze the pros and cons.

Li Si said: "Shan Yu, the 400,000 troops of Great Qin are stationed in the fertile grasslands of the southern border of the Xiongnu, and these Great Qin Rui soldiers have worked hard and are bent on destroying the Xiongnu. ”

"The reason for this is also because the Xiongnu have repeatedly harassed the border of Daqin, and they want to never suffer in the future."

"However, I, the Emperor of Great Qin, used Confucianism to educate sentient beings and rule the world by law, and those who made mistakes must be punished, so I sent troops to repel the Xiongnu who entered the northern border of Great Qin."

"Now, does Shan Yu think that a woman who is only eighteen years old can be forgiven by my Emperor Great Qin II?"

"Besides, the beauties of Great Qin are like clouds, and His Majesty the Second Emperor has a favorite person, so the idea of making peace should be given up as soon as possible."

Li Sidu said it so clearly, if he continued to pretend to be stupid, he really wouldn't have the sincerity to confess to his ministers.

"I, the Xiongnu, am willing to make offerings to the ministers of Great Qin, and I also sent envoys to list the number of offerings in detail, but Emperor Daqin II wants ten times, even if I agree, the subjects of the Xiongnu will not agree."

"Ten thousand head of oxen, twenty thousand head of sheep, one hundred thousand gold, ten chests of porcelain and agate, three thousand slaves."

"Ten times that of these amounts, it's really..."

Xiongnu Shan Yu showed an embarrassed expression on his face.

Li Si knew that it was not that the Huns could not afford it, but that they wanted to bargain.

"Since it is difficult for the Xiongnu to express themselves, then this is good, we can divide them into stages."

"Staging?"

"Yes." Li Si nodded and said, "It will be settled in two installments." ”

"The first phase of the request was immediately prepared for 50,000 cattle, 100,000 sheep, 500,000 gold, 50 boxes of porcelain agate, and 15,000 slaves, and sent them to the Great Qin army stationed in the southern border of the Xiongnu."

"The second installment will be brought back to Daqin by Li Si in person a month later, what do you think?"

Listening to what Lees meant, there is no room for maneuver in this negotiation.

Seeing that the Xiongnu Shan Yu was hesitating, Li Si threw out his bargaining chips and said: "If Shan Yu agrees, the Great Qin army stationed in the southern border of the Xiongnu can withdraw and return the fertile grassland in the southern border of the Xiongnu." ”

After weighing the pros and cons, Xiongnu nodded happily.

"Okay, I'll send someone to prepare."

This trick was taught to him by Fusu the night before Li Si set off, and he didn't expect it to work so well for the Xiongnu.

Today's Great Qin needs these materials too much.

"Basenti, you will prepare for Ben Danyu, and you will lead an army of 50,000 to personally escort it to the Great Qin army in the south of the Xiongnu."

Seeing that the Xiongnu Shan Yu mentioned Basenti, Li Si immediately praised: "Li Si was assassinated by the Prison Shadow Assassin last night, thanks to Basen's relief of the siege for the general, with this general, no wonder the Huns are so powerful." ”

When Bason heard Li Si praise him in front of Shan Yu, he was overjoyed in his heart, this Prime Minister of Great Qin really spoke his mind.

Xiongnu Shan Yu also nodded with satisfaction, "Before I became Shan Yu, Basenti followed me, he is indeed a pillar." ”

First praised by Lis, and then praised by Shan Yu, Barsonti's vanity was satisfied like never before.

He immediately followed the instructions of the Xiongnu Shan Yu to collect tribute to the ministers of Great Qin.

Since there were some reserves before, in less than two hours, Basenti prepared the tribute for Daqin.

Li Si was worried that the future would change, so he immediately went to the military camp stationed outside Warburg and ordered: "Concubine Yan, cover the sun, Xuan Wen, six sword slaves, you lead two thousand troops to hand over the tribute offered by the Xiongnu Shan Yu to Meng Tian, and let them withdraw from the southern border of the Xiongnu. ”

Li Si's order surprised Concubine Yan and the others, he transferred everyone away, so he and the mission stayed here? In order to stabilize the Xiongnu Shan Yu?

At present, it seems that there is only one explanation of the past.

"I suspect that the wolf's eye will cut off these tributes, so if you change into the clothes of the Huns, I will say yes to Basenti." Lees continued.

This time, Li Si decided to let it go, Concubine Yan divined for him a great omen, since this is the case, then leave this omen of great evil forever in the Hun Warburg.
