Under the afternoon sun, the sunburner is warm.

Escorted by 1,000 elite border troops, the convoy successfully crossed the Hanrong border.

In the morning, Ye Yunyang joined the convoy and took a carriage instead, while Chen Shilai continued to hover in the air with flying wings, responsible for the vigilance mission.

In the carriage, he rested comfortably on Dongfang Yixue's lap.

The beautiful woman's slender ten fingers are massaging his shoulders.

Because it was winter, and Rong Di fought for many years, the people were not able to make a living, so that as far as the eye could see, there was a bleak scene.

Occasionally, I met a few Rongdi people, who were also ragged and had vegetables on their faces.

Dongfang Yixue expressed dissatisfaction with the emperor's practice of playing fifty boards each, and she complained all the way.

Ye Yunyang closed his eyes and said, "It's also my fault, just after I got the secret letter, I couldn't wait to go to the emperor, ignoring the fact that a letter can't be ironclad evidence." ”

"However, the emperor let Li Fuchen go so easily, it's a bit unreasonable, right?" Dongfang Yixue said.

He opened his eyes: "After I went back, I thought carefully that the emperor was right to do this. In fact, even if there is ironclad evidence that Li Fuchen has colluded with the Bianrong tribe, what can he do? He can say in a grand manner that Rong Di and Dahan have always been allies, and as the head of a hundred officials, it is normal for him to have some contact with the Rong Di people, so what can the emperor do with him?"

Dongfang Yixue frowned: "Then there is no other way, you have already made an enmity with Li Fuchen, it is difficult to resolve it easily, he will definitely not really let you go because of the emperor's words." ”

Li Fuchen's rights and background are beyond Ye Yunyang's reach.

Ye Yunyang said with a smile: "Don't worry, at least during our time in Rongdi, he has no chance to carry out the conspiracy, and it is not too late to break up with him when he returns to the imperial capital." ”

The journey went smoothly, and the convoy arrived at the Baidi tribe the next day.

Bai Di ranked second among the Rongdi tribes, with hundreds of thousands of clansmen, including 250,000 soldiers alone, and was a force that should not be underestimated.

In addition, the station of the Baidi tribe is not far from the Han Dynasty, so it will become a target for wooing.

Bai Di Wang Lu Xuan, who is in the prime of life, is also a warrior of the Golden Body Realm, and manages the tribe in an orderly manner.

In the previous rout, the Baidi people did not suffer much loss because they retreated in time.

In fact, the so-called timely retreat, to put it bluntly, is close to escaping, and King Bai Di sees that the ghost-faced army is powerful, and his own side is not enough to confront it head-on, so he will give the retreat order in advance.

The strength of the Bai Di army was preserved, but this move damaged other tribes, especially the Chidi tribe, which ranked first in terms of strength, and was killed by the Ghost Face Army more than 100,000 people in the first battle, and its vitality was greatly damaged.

King Bai Di didn't care so much, and led his subordinates to return to the station as quickly as possible, holding on.

In the king's tent, Lu Xuan was entertaining a group of generals, and he felt that the more wartime, the more he had to spare no effort to win over his subordinates, only in this way could he ensure that his authority was not challenged.

In addition to the generals, there are also his two sons, the eldest prince Lu Zhi and the little prince Luke, both of whom can lead a soldier alone and are deeply loved by the soldiers.

Lu Xun was in a good mood, because he heard that both the Great Qin and the Great Han wanted to win over Bai Di, and the Han Emperor even sent an envoy for this, and just a few hours earlier, the sentinel reported that the Great Han mission had entered Bai Di's territory.

In the past, the Bai Di people needed to be low in order to ask for some assistance from the Han, but now that they have finally had the opportunity to turn over and sing.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in the king's tent gradually became warmer.

Lu Xuan put down the cup and said with a smile: "Everyone, the Han Mission is about to arrive, you might as well think about it, what should we order from them this time." ”

One of the generals said without thinking: "Of course, there is food, and forage, which is what we lack the most." ”

"How much?" asked Lu Xun.

"At least 150,000 stones, enough for our army to eat for a month. The ministry general said.

Lu Xun's face tensed: "The little family is angry, but now they are begging us, just 150,000 stone grain, what about sending Huazi?"

The general blushed: "That's 450,000 stones, and you can eat it until the beginning of spring next year." ”

The eldest prince snorted: "If you want me to say, you have to have at least one million stones to show the sincerity of the Han Emperor." ”

The little prince Luke was unwilling to be lonely and said: "It's not enough to have food, the Han people have to provide us with weapons, armor, horse harnesses and camp tents, plus military salaries." ”

Someone chimed in: "That's right, we haven't paid the soldiers for several months, and the Han people just came over and didn't kill him." ”

Hahaha......

Lu Xun took the lead, and the group of people all laughed arrogantly.

After laughing, some people said worriedly: "Our lion opens his mouth, will the Han people be willing to give it?"

Lu Xun raised his eyebrows: "It's not up to him not to give it, if we don't meet our conditions, we will take refuge in Daqin, anyway, we can wait for the price and sell, it is the Han people who are really anxious." ”

"That's right!" Lu Zhi slapped the table: "We have a choice, the Han people don't choose, if it weren't for the urgency, would the Han Emperor send an envoy over? There is another thing, it is said that the Han Emperor sent Ye Yunyang, the Marquis of Wuying, this person is quite wise, and he is not a very easy person to deal with." ”

Luke snorted: "No matter how powerful he is, when he comes to our Bai Di, he has to be a man with his tail between his legs." ”

Hahaha......

The generals laughed again, as if they had already eaten the Han people.

A sergeant walked in from outside, saluted Lu Xun and said, "King Qiqi, the Han mission has entered our camp and asked to meet you. ”

"It's so fast, so please come in. Lu Xun smiled, the facts show that the Han people are really anxious.

Ten minutes later, Ye Yunyang took Chen Shilai into the king's tent.

He clenched his fist at King Bai Di: "Ye Yunyang, Marquis Wuying of the Han Dynasty and General Fulin, came to meet King Bai Di on the order of the emperor. ”

Lu Xun looked him up and down, why is his heart so young, is there no one available in the Han Empire, the emperor actually sent a milky and dry boy to act as an envoy.

He couldn't help but have contemptuous thoughts in his heart, sat on the chair and didn't stand up, and hummed: "You are Wuyinghou Ye Yunyang, you look ordinary." ”

Chen Shilai frowned, and was about to reason with him, but was stopped by Ye Yunyang, he said: "I am a Han with many talents, and Ben Hou is indeed very ordinary, that is because the task of sending Bai Di Ben is originally ordinary to the extreme, and it is very suitable for ordinary people to perform ordinary tasks." ”

Lu Xun frowned, and the two princes and generals all showed unkind expressions.

Ye Yunyang continued: "Before Benhou left the imperial capital, I heard that King Bai Di was a humble person, but now it seems that he is really not worthy of his name. ”

Luke slapped the table: "Ye Yunyang, what do you mean?"

The generals all reached out and grabbed the hilt of their swords, and there was a great way to fight without saying a word.

He said in a non-hurried tone: "Ben Hou represents the Han Empire, and he has been in the account for so long, he doesn't even have a cup of tea, and he doesn't invite guests to sit down, is this the hospitality of your Baidi people?"

Lu Xun's face flushed, and he realized that what he had done just now was indeed inappropriate, so he stood up and symbolically hugged his fists: "It's because this king is not arranged, please don't be surprised! Come here, watch the seat for the Han envoy, and serve good wine and meat." ”

Several Rongdi soldiers walked in and added a new table with various roasts and stews, as well as a large jar of wine.

Ye Yunyang didn't have the heart to eat and drink, mainly because the craftsmanship of the Rong Di people was too poor, all the meat had a bad smell, and the wine was also the worst.

"Wu Yinghou, please. King Bai Di saw that he didn't want to eat, and deliberately made a gesture of please.

Everyone is looking at him, and if he doesn't eat, he doesn't give face.

Ye Yunyang smiled faintly: "Thank you King Bai Di for your hospitality, let's talk about business first, and it's not too late to eat and drink after the conditions are negotiated." ”

King Bai Di nodded: "Okay, Marquis Wu Ying is a guest, then let's talk about the conditions offered by your Han first." ”

Ye Yunyang said in a flat tone: "The Great Han will provide grain and grass to your department in three times, 50,000 stone each time, with an interval of one month each time, and each time it is sent along with the grain, there are also 3,000 sets of battle armor and 3,000 sets of saddles. After three months, we will give your troops 20,000 stone of grain every month until the end of the war. And what your ministry needs to do is to be unconditionally loyal to the Great Han and fight to the death with the Great Qin, what does King Bai Di think of this condition?"

If it had been placed in the past, King Bai Di would definitely die of joy, but now that his appetite is big, it is difficult to impress him with such a little thing.

In addition, before Ye Yunyang came in, a group of people had already discussed, and these materials were far from what they thought.

King Bai Di sneered, the two princes sneered, and the generals were also sneering.

Ye Yunyang expected such a situation to happen, so he was not surprised, but continued to look at King Bai Di with an inquiring gaze.

Lu Xuan spoke: "Marquis Wu Ying, you Han are too stingy, right? There are 250,000 troops under the command of this king, and you need to consume 150,000 stone of grain every month, and you only send 50,000 stone every month, and only for three months! The 20,000 stone in the back is not enough for my army to stuff the teeth, such a little thing, just want the Bai Di tribe to be loyal to the Han, it's too whimsical!"

Lu Zhi echoed: "The conditions you prescribe are simply to send Hanako!"

Luke was not willing to be lonely and said: "If it is just such a condition, there is no need for us to talk about it." ”

Ye Yunyang swept his gaze over the faces of the father and son, and the three guys had the same arrogant expressions.

He said in a non-hurried tone: "There is one thing I want to ask the three of you to understand, you are now fighting against the Qin soldiers, the purpose is to protect your homeland and relatives from suffering, not to help our Han to fight, His Majesty the Emperor is willing to support you, out of morality and the peace relationship over the years." Could it be that the three of you think we should help you raise an army of 250,000, who is the whimsical?"

The faces of the three of them turned red at the same time, and they just thought about the lion opening their mouths, leaving the most important point behind.

Indeed, Bai Di is not helping the Han to fight, why should he let the Han pay for food and money?

However, now that the words just now have been said, it seems very shameless to take them back, and now that they have the advantage of waiting for a price to sell, they feel that they should be tougher, and they snorted recklessly: "It's useless to be clever and talkative, if you only give such a little thing, we can only take refuge in Daqin, I believe they will be very generous." ”

Ye Yunyang frowned, and asked Lu Xun instead: "King Bai Di, is the opinion of the eldest prince also what you think in your heart?"

Lu Xuan felt that in the first round, he must not lose to the other party in terms of momentum, nodded and said solemnly: "That's right, Lu Zhi's words are what this king meant." ”

Ye Yunyang stood up directly and said, "Okay, then we really have nothing to talk about, you can go to Daqin, our Han will definitely not stop you, Ben Hou will leave!"

With that, he turned and left.

Including King Bai Di, everyone was dumbfounded, but they didn't expect the other party to be tougher.

Ye Yunyang, who walked to the door of the big tent, stopped, and said without looking up: "By the way, Ben Hou will stay in your department for three days." As the old saying goes, buying and selling is not benevolent, presumably King Bai Di will not kill Ben Hou because the two sides are not cooperating, right?"

Lu Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Marquis Wu Ying can stay as long as he wants, and this king guarantees the safety of you and your entourage." ”
