After Xiang Ye and Wu Wei reformulated their strategy against the Xiongnu, Wu Wei sent an envoy to ask Xiang Yu to lend Xiang Tong to Jiuyuan Kingdom.

Maybe it was out of love for Xiang Qing, or maybe it was because Fan Zeng made a match, Xiang Ye's request to import iron and borrow Xiang Tong, Xiang Yu agreed to all of them. Not only that, but he also allocated 10,000 soldiers and horses to Xiang Tong's command, bringing the number of soldiers and horses under Xiang Tong's command to 30,000, and reminded Xiang Tong to protect the integrity of the Jiuyuan Kingdom.

In fact, Xiang Yu's life was not easy, he wanted to drive King Huai to Changsha after returning to Pengcheng, but King Huai just didn't leave. If it was just like that, the newly sealed Yan King Zang Di had just returned to Jixian County, and he couldn't wait to launch an attack on the Liaodong Kingdom in the north before he held the military power, and broke through Xiangping, killed Han Guang, the king of Liaodong, and occupied the land of Liaodong.

As the overlord of the feudal princes, this kind of thing happened, and Xiang Yu naturally had an unshirkable responsibility. After 'handing' over how to deal with Xiang Ye with the ministers in the country, he personally led the army to Yan State.

Yan Guo is not far from Xiang Ye's Jiuyuan Kingdom, but Xiang Yu does not have time to visit Xiang Ye and Xiang Qing in Jiuyuan, and after solving the affairs of Yan Kingdom, he will go to Qi Land and eradicate Tian Rong, who raised troops in Qi Land to kill Qi Wang Tian City and established himself as king.

Soon after Liu Bang returned to the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains once again fell into a great 'chaos'. Xiang Yu was busy running 'waves' and calming 'chaos' everywhere. However, Liu Bang, who entered Hanzhong, took advantage of this opportunity to get a rest, recruited troops and horses, and accumulated grain and grass, only waiting for the time to be ripe before returning to Guanzhong.

In order to grasp the situation in more detail, he sent spies to all parts of the Central Plains, as long as there was a slight change in various places, the news would quickly spread to Jiuyuan City.

When Xiang Ye was secretly preparing for war, Mao Dunshan Yu sent envoys to Jiuyuan City again.

If there was no war for a day, Xiang Ye didn't want to tear his face with the Huns. When the Xiongnu envoys entered Jiuyuan City, Jing Ao commanded the Yulin Army to list the most solemn welcome honor guard at the entrance of the city' gate.

Xiang Ye naturally did not go to greet the Xiongnu envoys, the honor guard put up by Jiuyuan Guo had already expressed the most sincere respect to the Huns, and there was no need for him to personally welcome out of the city 'gate'.

The courtesy of the Jiuyuan Kingdom was good, but the Xiongnu envoys didn't seem to have led the Jiuyuan Kingdom to put on a grand welcome ceremony, raised their heads all the way, and jumped straight into the carriage waiting in the city 'gate' after entering the city.

Jing Ao, who was standing outside the carriage, watched the figure of the Hun envoy not enter the carriage, the corners of his mouth tugged, and he smiled disdainfully and said to the coachman: "Go to the palace!" ”

On the way to the palace of the Xiongnu envoys, Xiang Ye had already gathered his ministers to wait in the main hall. Although what he was secretly doing was to fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu, on the surface, he still had to make overtures to the Xiongnu in exchange for a brief peace to buy time for his unfinished armament.

"The Hun envoy has arrived!" Just as Xiang Ye and the ministers were speculating about the purpose of the Hun envoy's visit, the 'female' guards on duty outside the hall shouted loudly.

Hearing the shout, Xiang Ye pressed his hand on the ministers and signaled them not to continue, and then he personally said to the outside of the hall: "Xuan Xiongnu envoy to meet!" ”

His voice was not loud, but it spread far away in the empty hall, reaching the ears of the 'female' guard on duty.

After hearing Xiang Ye's will, the 'female' guard on duty raised his voice and shouted to the Hun envoy waiting at the bottom of the steps: "Xuan Xiongnu envoy to meet you!" ”

Hearing the call, the Hun envoy raised his head and walked towards the main hall.

After entering the hall, he glanced at the ministers sitting on both sides, and then arrogantly turned his head to Xiang Ye, who was sitting on the throne, and said, "The envoy of the Great Hun greets the king!" ”

This time, the Hun envoy still didn't kneel, Xiang Ye didn't seem to care about these complicated etiquette at all, and said to him with a smile: "A few days ago, the widow sent someone back the things that Da Shan Yu asked for, why did the envoy come this time?" ”

The Xiongnu envoy bowed slightly and said: "The great Da Shan Yu was very happy after receiving the silk and bronze sent by the king a few days ago, and I also believe that the king is willing to maintain a good relationship with my Great Huns. This time, Da Shan Yu sent his ministers to express his heartfelt thanks to the king, and asked me to bring five silver fox skins to the king. ”

After listening to the words of the Xiongnu envoy, although Xiang Ye had a smile on his face, he scolded the eighteenth generation of Maodun's ancestors in his heart. The silk and bronze utensils he sent to the Xiongnu were calculated in terms of chariots, and the gifts that the Xiongnu returned to him were silver fox skins calculated by Zhang.

"If your envoy is fine, please go down and rest!" Xiang Ye asked the 'female' official beside him to take the silver fox skin presented by the Hun envoy, and made a gesture of invitation to the Xiongnu envoy and said.

The Hun envoy did not leave immediately, but stood in the main hall with his head held high and said to Xiang Ye: "In addition to expressing gratitude, the great Da Shan Yu also wants to ask the king for something." ”

Xiang Ye frowned, not long after the silk and bronze utensils were sent, the Huns came to ask for things again, and it was really unbearable for him to be so greedy.

However, although Xiang Ye is young, he has experienced a few years of war, but he is quite a bit of a city.

He didn't put his unhappiness on his face, but said to the Hun envoy: "What Da Danyu wants, your envoy just asks!" ”

The Xiongnu envoy first looked at Xiang Ye, and then at the ministers sitting in the hall, the expression on his face was very disdainful, and after a while, he said to Xiang Ye: "We want the nine counties of your country to be ruled by the Huns, so that it will be convenient to trade with your country in the future." ”

When he said this, Xiang Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and the muscles and flesh of his face twitched slightly, but he didn't attack immediately, but asked in a cold voice: "What else does he want besides?" ”

Perhaps because he was too arrogant, the Hun envoy didn't see Xiang Ye's expression different, and then said: "Da Shan Yu also heard that the two concubines of the king are the 'gate', not only the country 'color' Tianxiang, but also the command of the soldiers and horses, and the intention to kiss Fangze, I also hope that the king will not be stingy with the 'women', send them to the Xiongnu royal court, and ask them to 'serve' Da Dan for a few days, and will send a special person to escort them back to China in the future!" ”

"Enough!" As soon as the Hun envoy's words were finished, Xiang Ye slapped the table in front of him and stood up suddenly, pointed at his nose and scolded: "The widow didn't want to have a grudge with you Huns too early, and he has been trying to make compromises, but I didn't think that you savages would be shameless." It's not enough to come and ask for money, but now I have even started the idea of my land and the 'woman'! ”

When Xiang Ye was angry, all the ministers in the hall knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at him. Those who are familiar with Xiang Ye know that this time the Xiongnu envoy is afraid that there will be more misfortune and less blessing, and there will be no chance to return to the grassland alive.

"I tell you today that the land is the foundation of the nation. I can abandon everything in the Nine Plains Kingdom, but I can't do without land, let your Da Dan die of this heart! After Xiang Ye stood up, he stepped on the table with one foot on the table, held the hilt of his sword, and glared at the Hun envoy and said, "I, the King of Jiuyuan, will never be able to compromise like your Da Dan treated Donghu that day!" You Da Dan Yu once gave the Yan clan to the king of Donghu for the development of the Xiongnu, but I will not cherish the 'female' people like him! You dog thief, it's okay to be rude to me when you come to the palace, and today you dare to insult my 'woman', I will not allow you! ”

As soon as Xiang Ye's words fell, two 'female' guards strode forward, one pressed the shoulder of the Hun envoy, and at the same time raised his foot and kicked him vigorously in the 'leg'. The Xiongnu envoy struggled with his legs and fell to his knees with a "poof".

One of the 'female' guards knocked off his hat, grabbed his hair and pressed his head to the ground, pressing him to kneel in front of Xiang Ye.

"Someone! Tie up the dog thief for me, cut out three hundred and sixty-five thin mouths all over my body, and then hang them on the 'gate' of Jiuyuan City, let them see the Huns, and insult my Jiuyuan King is the end! Xiang Ye kicked over the table in front of him and shouted at the guards guarding outside the hall.

Erhu and the others answered, holding a rope and waiting outside the hall, and the 'female' guard in the hall escorted the Hun envoy to the 'gate'.

As soon as the Hun envoy heard Xiang Ye say that he wanted to kill him, he raised his neck and shouted to Xiang Ye with all the strength of his body: "King Jiuyuan, you can't kill me!" I am the messenger of the Great Huns, not your prisoner! ”

"I killed you, the Hun dog!" Xiang Ye 'drawn' his long sword and pointed it at the Hun envoy and shouted at the 'female' guards who were holding him: "Escort down, I will personally go to the 'gate' of the city to see his corpse later!" ”

After the Hun envoy was taken down by the guards, Wu Zi turned around and scolded Xiang Ye, Xiang Ye ignored him and stared at the outside of the hall and shouted: "Where is the deputy envoy of the Huns?" Bring him to me! ”

It didn't take much time for several 'female' guards to escort a Hun from outside the hall into the main hall, and knelt in front of Xiang Ye according to the Huns.

"You are the deputy envoy of the Huns?" Xiang Ye glanced at the Huns kneeling in front of him and asked with a frown.

The Hun knelt on the ground, trembling with fright and unable to say a word.

"I won't kill you, you go back and tell you Da Danyu that your messenger has insulted the widow and has been ordered to be killed by the widow." Speaking of this, Xiang Ye's tone softened slightly, and then said to the deputy envoy of the Huns: "For the Huns, I am very friendly and sincere. In the past, he always made requests to me, but this time I also made some requests to him. You listen, I ask him to immediately relocate the Xiongnu royal court, and move the entire Xiongnu to the west for a thousand miles, in addition to a fierce dog in my harem, now it is in estrus, I can't find a suitable female dog to 'mate' with it all over Jiuyuan City! I heard that your mother and the Yan family are familiar with the art of interbreeding between humans and dogs, so they gave birth to this half-human thing that is not a dog. You go back and tell him that I will borrow his Yan clan and his mother, and wait until the puppies are born, and then send someone to escort them back!" ”~
