Chapter 430: Prince Maudun
Outside Gaoliu City, felt tents are everywhere.
In a felt tent guarded by Shan Yu's personal guards, Yan Wangxi, who was covered in stinking, opened his eyes wide and was indignant.
"Two hundred gold?"
"Damn, the king of the lonely Yan Kingdom, the bloodline surnamed Ji, the descendant of Zhaogong, the king of Qin actually only offered a reward of two hundred gold!"
"How can this be reasonable, it's just too much to bully orphans!"
Yan Wangxi was very angry.
You must know that his son Yan Dan was rewarded with a thousand gold by the King of Qin, but he, as the real King of Yan, was only rewarded with two hundred gold, which is simply an insult to him.
Not to mention that he was in front of Tou Mandan Yu before, saying that he could be worth a thousand gold, and he described himself as worthy.
How do you know that after the left bone Duhou Hu Yanyu came back from the Qin army, he pierced this cowhide, which made him very embarrassed.
However, after the anger was over, Yan Wangxi, who had calmed down, felt deep fear again.
"Then how can Zhao Tuo agree to this condition! Thirty thousand stone of grain, it is worth two hundred gold in this generation, plus ten carts of pearl and jade cloth, how can it be worth four or five hundred gold, how can he Zhao Tuo be willing to agree? Not to mention armor and weapons, does he dare to hand over these things to the Hu people, how dare he! β
Yan Wang roared in fear, and his hands trembled unconsciously.
The Huns have always been mercenary, and in the face of the practical profits given by the Qin people, they made up their minds to sell him.
Yan Wangxi knew that he was in danger, and in order to survive from this crack, he came up with a way to raise his own value and make the Huns break the contract and raise prices, thus angering the Qin army.
It is better to let the Xiongnu and the Qin people fight, so that he can find a chance to survive from this crisis.
The development of things was just as he expected, the greedy Tou Manshan Yu, after listening to Yan Wangxi's nonsense, was really moved by the huge interests, and broke the agreement on the day set with the Qin people, and temporarily raised the price.
According to Yan Wangxi's understanding of the Qin people, the grain and cloth are all right, but the weapons and equipment are very strictly controlled, and it is almost impossible to trade them to the Hu people.
But I didn't expect that the Qin general Zhao Tuo really agreed, and he agreed very happily, and agreed with the Marquis of Zuo Gu on the spot that the Qin army would spend three days to raise supplies, and after three days, they could send the things together and exchange Yan Wangxi with them.
"If it falls into the hands of the Qin people, there is no reason for Lone to live. Lone must not sit here and wait for death, if he wants to live at this moment, the only way is to provoke the Huns and the Qin army to go to war. β
"The Huns are greedy for profits, I'm afraid they won't do it, so they can only intimidate them, so they can only say that the Qin army is pretending to agree this time, but it is actually a trick to sneak attack, so as to persuade the Huns to take the initiative to attack the Qin army."
Yan Wang was in a desperate situation, and his desire to survive was stimulated, his brain became more and more sensitive, and he quickly came up with a plan.
He ran out of the tent, and shouted in his mouth: "I want to see Shan Yu!" Lonely to see Shan Yu! β
β¦β¦
About an hour later.
In a huge dome.
The head of the Huns, Mandanyu, and the nobles of the Huns who went south this time, discussed what had just happened.
"Then King Yan said that the generals of the Qin State pretended to agree to our conditions this time, but in fact, they wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack us."
Tou Manshan sat leisurely on the bed and glanced at the people in the tent.
Hearing this, the left bone capital Hou Hu Yanyu suddenly shouted: "Da Danyu, you didn't see the appearance of that Qin general today, he is just a child who has not grown all his hair, and when he sees me, he is like a sheep seeing a wolf, and he is very scared." β
"He said that their Qin army only wanted to conquer Daidi, and it was never malicious to us Huns, and they only wanted to buy the king of Yan for money, and as for starting a war with us, it was even more impossible. Therefore, what did the Yan King say about the sneak attack just now, he must have been afraid that we would sell him to the Qin people, so he made a special statement to provoke it. β
Tou Manshan Yu smiled: "The captured old sheep naturally wants to think of various ways to escape. It's normal for friends in the steppe to say these things. β
Tou Manshan Yu thought of the sharp weapons he saw in the hands of Qin Jun when the two armies faced off before, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with both jealousy and envy.
"The sheep of the south, though cowardly, have sharp horns on their heads. If all the warriors under my account can take the weapons made by the Qin people, maybe they will be able to have more powerful force and defeat those damned enemies. β
Although the Xiongnu occupied the center of the steppe, they had strong enemies on each side.
Compared with the people of the crown belt in the south, the Yueshi in the west and the Donghu in the east are the real threat to the Huns.
Just when Tou Manshan Yu was dismissive of King Yan's proposal, and other Xiongnu nobles also thought that this was King Yan's provocative words in order to survive.
A slightly immature voice sounded in the tent.
"I think the old sheep said these words in order to survive. But the Qin people in the south also need to be on guard. β
"What a great deal of food we demanded from them, and how precious the great quantities of pearl and jade cloth and weapons and armor we had. The general of the Qin people was not stingy at all, and immediately agreed, isn't this doubtful? β
As the voice fell, there was silence in the tent.
This was followed by the screech of the left bone capital, Hu Yanyu: "Prince MΓ² DΓΊ said it very well, but it is not right. β
"Because the things that the generals of the Qin State gave us were all from the Dai Kingdom that had just been destroyed, and they only exchanged the grain and cloth of the Dai State with us, and for them, there was no loss at all."
"As for the weapons and armor we asked for, the number of those Qin people is tens of thousands, give us a thousand, for them it is just as simple and easy as plucking a hair from a cow."
"And buying that old sheep back can not only bring them a bounty, but also allow them to be promoted and knighted in the Qin State. Is there anything doubtful about this huge benefit, which they are naturally willing to exchange for? β
"As for what the old sheep said, the Qin people may come back and attack us. Hahaha, there are many more of my steppe warriors than them, and they are much more powerful. Do a group of southern sheep dare to challenge the wolves of the north? β
Hu Yanyu looked very excited, because this time the transaction between the Xiongnu and the Qin people was facilitated by him.
When the deal is completed, his tribe can share a lot of benefits, so Hu Yanyu is naturally bent on promoting this matter, not to mention that he thinks that what King Yan and Mao Dun said is all.
Tou Manshan turned his head to look at a young man with a pigtail and a half-moon scar on his forehead.
It was his son, Maudun.
Tou Manshan Yu said: "The Qin people in the south take a fancy to their titles, which are very precious things, far more valuable than the grain and cloth they give us, so there is no doubt that they are willing to trade." What the old sheep said is just that he wants to live before he dies, so he doesn't have to take it seriously. β
Prince Maudun was still a young man, and he had an idea in his heart, so he said it on the spot, and he said, "What Shan Yu said is. I just saw that these Qin people obviously had tens of thousands of troops, but they didn't even talk about the price, so they agreed to our request, so I was a little skeptical. I heard the elders of the clan say that more than ten years ago, the general of the Zhao State was this ......"
"Get out!"
The voice of suppressed anger rang out in the vault.
Tou Mandanyu's face was flushed, and a pair of eyes were staring at his son.
More than ten years ago, it was an eternal pain in his heart.
Maudun was shocked to realize that Shan Yu was angry, and immediately retreated tremblingly.
Behind him, there was a gloating smile on the face of the Left Bone Marquis.
Young people who can't speak are better off talking less.
Outside the vault.
The wind with the smell of blew into Maudun's nasal passages.
He looked at the vault where Shan Yu was and clenched his fists.
"Ever since that woman gave birth to a son, she has been doting on me less and less every day."
β¦β¦
Affected by Yan Wangxi's words, although Tou Manshan Yu felt indifferent on his face, he still sent cavalry to patrol and be vigilant around.
However, this vigilance was dispelled a lot on the second day.
Because the envoy of the Qin people came in advance.
This time, he also took the initiative to bring the first batch of grain to show the sincerity of the Qin people.
Tomorrow's third watch, the plot of the Xiongnu and King Yan will be written.
It's the last day of the double monthly pass, ask for a ticket!
"Historical Records: The Biography of the Huns": Shan Yu has the name of the prince. Later, he had a love for the Yan family, gave birth to a few sons, and only wanted to abolish the sudden and set up a few sons.
There is no history of Maudun's age, but he will kill his father in thirteen years, and this point in time feels like he should be ten years old, or even much older.
